Chapter 41: A Wife is worse than A Concubine Is Better To Steal
After saying goodbye, she cried and repeatedly stated that she was the master who was reluctant to leave her good disciple. When Nangong Mo went down the mountain and returned to the Nangong family, everyone in the Nangong family was already preparing to set off. The family gathered in the hall waiting for Nangong Mo alone. Seeing Nangong Mo coming in from outside, Nangong Huai's face suddenly sank, "Everyone is about to set off, why are you running around? The family is waiting for you here!"
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Go and say goodbye to the neighbors."
"Sister, you are the eldest lady of the Nangong family. What are you going to say to those rural villagers?" Nangong Shu covered her lips and smiled, Linglong's pretty eyes were unspeakable.
Nangong Mo said calmly: "Thirty years ago, my father was also the rural villager you mentioned." Thirty years ago, Nangong Huai was no different from any man in the entire Xifeng Village. If he had not followed His Majesty's founding of the country, the current Nangong family would also throw away the body in the ground. Nangong Shu thought she was so noble?
"What does eldest sister mean? My father is a famous founding general, how can those rural villagers compare with?" Nangong Shu said in a sweet voice.
Nangong Mo smiled coldly and said, "What do you mean is that my father's surname is not Nangong, he is not from Xifeng Village?" Most of Xifeng Village's surname is Nangong, and counting up to several generations can be related to it. Even if the direct family of the Nangong family is embedded in Jinling, the genealogy of the Nangong family's ancestral hall is still in Xifeng Village. But Nangong Huai's meaning is probably to separate and open a family genealogy.
"Enough!" I don't know which nerve Nangong Huai's quarrel had touched Nangong Huai's grim face and said in a deep voice: "Since you're ready, let's set off! If you make a fuss, go to confine me!"
Nangong Shu looked at Nangong Huai with a gloomy expression, and bit her lips and closed her mouth unwillingly.
It takes seven or eight days to get from Danyang to Jinling. This means that if the horse-riding carriage is riding, it will take at least half a month if it is a brigade of horse-drawn carriage to take women and their families slowly. Following such a large group of princes and grandchildren, it will be even slower to walk. Not to mention those delicate and weak young ladies, they will have to rest for half a day after walking for half a month. After walking for more than half a month, they are still two or three days away from Jinling City. Even people like Nangong Mo are so tortured that they look a little bit like earthy when they are so tortured, and they want to snatch a horse and go straight to Jinling.
He leaned lazily in the carriage, looking at Nangong Shu who was sitting opposite him with a delicate and weak face, Nangong Mo shrugged and turned his head.
"Mo'er, Shu'er, come out for some breath?" This time there was no post station, and the resting place was just a wide and flat grass. When Nangong Mo lifted the curtain of the carriage and went out, someone was already camping outside. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "How long will you have to rest?" Nangong Hui shrugged and said, "The emperor and Changsun said that the women in the team were weak and planned to rest here for one night and leave tomorrow."
"If we hadn't been walking around the road, we should have arrived in Jinling three days ago." Nangong Mo said.
Nangong Hui said helplessly: "This year is the first time that the emperor's eldest grandson returned to Danyang to worship his ancestors on behalf of His Majesty, so it is inevitable to be more cautious. Moreover, most of the female relatives are weak, and if anything happens, it won't look good. Isn't Mo'er tired?"
How could she not be tired? But she didn't understand that it would be more comfortable to hold it in the carriage every day than to go back sooner and rest well?
Nangong Shu was helped by a maid and got out of the carriage. She happened to hear the conversation between Nangong Mo and Nangong Hui. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a sweet voice: "Sister, this is the Emperor Changsun's compassion for us. The Emperor Changsun is kind-hearted, but even His Majesty admires it." Nangong Mo did not comment. The Emperor, who was born in a common man, would he really appreciate what kind of love would His Majesty, who crawled out of a sea of blood? Whether others believed it or not, she did not believe it anyway.
In addition, is Xiao Qianye Ren love? Something is blocked by Nangong Shu's eyes?
Nangong Huai glanced at his two daughters who were competing against each other and said unhappily: "Okay, how can my sisters be clamoring?"
Zheng followed Nangong Huai, looked at Nangong Mo and smiled, "What the Marquis said is, Shu'er, the eldest lady is your eldest sister, you should respect it as a sister." Nangong Shu nodded obediently and said, "It's Daddy, Mother, Shu'er understands."
Nangong Huai nodded with satisfaction and took Nangong Hui to see the situation of the servants' camping arrangements.
In front of the carriage, only Nangong Mo and Zheng's mother and daughter were left. Nangong Shu snorted and walked to Zheng's side. Looking at Nangong Mo's face full of disdain, there was no trace of respect just now. Zheng's face was smiling, but there was no sign of kindness in his eyes. Nangong Mo looked at the mother and daughter curiously and didn't know what they wanted to do. But to her surprise, Zheng did not do anything, but looked at her cautiously and said, "Miss, you have already ordered the marriage to the Prince of Jingjiang County."
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and waited for the words behind her.
Zheng was calm, but Nangong Shu was not as calm as she was. She stepped forward and gritted her teeth and said, "Nangong Mo, you have already had a marriage contract, so it's best not to shamelessly seduce the emperor's eldest grandson."
Nangong Mo paused for a rare moment, looked at Nangong Shu in surprise, and asked slowly, "Who told you that I would seduce the eldest grandson of the emperor?" From beginning to end, she said a few words to Xiao Qianye? Isn't Nangong Shu having any paranoia for being killed?
Nangong Shu snorted lightly and gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think I don't know? You and Huang Changsun disappeared for a long time on the day of the banquet. Huang Changsun these days... He is not lukewarm to me, who isn't you seducing Huang Changsun?"
So that's it. Looking at Nangong Shu who was so angry that his face turned red, Nangong Mo suddenly covered his lips and giggled. Nangong Shu was angry, "Why are you laughing?" Nangong Mo narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your eldest grandson. But... For the sake of our sisters, why don't I tell you a secret?"
Nangong Shu was stunned and looked at Nangong Mo in surprise. Zheng said in a deep voice: "Shu'er, don't listen to her nonsense."
Nangong Mo smiled and said, "What? Don't you want your eldest grandson to be jealous of you?"
"You said!" Nangong Shu gritted her teeth. Nangong Mo said she might as well listen, and there was no harm.
Nangong Mo whispered: "As the saying goes: A wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a steal. Second sister, you said... the one you should steal or the one you can't steal? Haha..." After saying that, before the Zheng mother and daughter changed color, Nangong Mo had quickly stepped back several steps, and Yanran smiled and said: "Madam Wan, is it reasonable for you to say what I said?"
Zheng's face turned blue and white, and he always felt that Nangong Mo was mocking him.
