49. Chapter 49
In the midsummer afternoon, the heat gathers in the yard, and the little maids stay in the house and don’t like to go out if they can hide.
Ningxiang returned to Lengmei Pavilion from the corner gate. The gatekeeper saw the celebrity beside the prince and reminded her with a smile, "Miss Ningxiang is back. This morning, the prince went to the lake with her cousin, and Miss Suyue also went, saying that she was having dinner in the restaurant outside tonight, so that I could tell you."
Ningxiang was a little lost and nodded for a moment to thank him.
She doesn't remember whether this happened in her previous life.
However, if she had seen Pei Jinghan late, Ningxiang would be glad for herself, even if it was only delayed for an hour or two.
Donger's room was spacious and bright. Ningxiang was thirsty all the way, so she put the bag on the couch and poured tea. After drinking two sips, she found that there were fine melon seed skins under the table. She guessed that Su Yue must be eating melon seeds again before leaving the door. Ningxiang shook her head and smiled, took the broom and swept the floor of the house, and wiped the table by the way.
When he came in again, Ningxiang headed straight for the bag.
When I untied my burden, the first thing I saw was two white, fat round stones the size of goose eggs.
Ning Xiang couldn't help laughing, picked up a stone and put it in the palm of her hand to see.
This was picked up by Anan. The little guy found this stone and excitedly shouted at her. Then he pulled her to look for other "eggs" in the water. Finally, he really found another egg-shaped stone. After resting, she packed her bags. Anan Africa wanted her to put two "eggs" in and gave them to her.
Ningxiang refused once, but later she thought that she might never see the little guy again, so she accepted this gift of childlikeness.
The stone was placed aside and was about to show Su Yue tonight, but she said it was given by Amu. Ningxiang was about to pack up her clothes when she suddenly found that there seemed to be something bulging inside the clothes.
Ningxiang stared at the place where the depression came from, and suddenly remembered that when she got off the car with the bag, she felt that the bag seemed to be a little heavier, but she was worried about how to say goodbye to Lu Cheng at that time, and knew that there were two large stones in the bag, so she subconsciously attributed the weight to the stone.
"Then let's redeem yourself earlier, redeem yourself, and live a free life every day."
Before leaving, Lu Cheng's last sentence rang in his ears without warning, and an incredible guess suddenly appeared in Ningxiang's heart. She hurriedly took away the shirt on it and saw... a ball of her embroidered belly and bag bulged high.
Ningxiang stared at that place, her white little face turned red quickly.
Holding the last glimmer of hope, holding the hope that A Tao might have stuffed in, Ningxiang slowly unfolded her belly and bag.
The girl's house is clean and white with pink embroidered flowers. There is a dusty money bag on her bag.
It was like a man putting his rough, yellow big hand on the girl's snow-white chest.
Ningxiang's face became redder and redder, like the cherries on the branches, instantly blown red by the wind.
When did he put it in?
Even if he insists on giving her money to help her redeem her, can't it be possible to put it elsewhere?
He almost bit his silver teeth into pieces, but he couldn't scold him in the end.
Because Ningxiang knew that Lu Cheng might be a rogue, he deliberately let her know that he had touched her belly and bag after seeing it, but his heart that he wanted to help her redeem himself was real. Even if he was hoping that she would marry him after redeeming her, and hoping that she would marry her as a wife, he would give her the money he had saved for a long time in one breath, and his sincerity could be seen in her heart.
The fragrance can be divided into good deeds.
Unfortunately, she is destined to let Lu Cheng down.
After putting down his clothes, Ningxiang put the purse into the cuffs and then went out of the Marquis' Mansion wearing the farm clothes.
She knew which street the Xu family lived, but Ningxiang did not go there, but went to Xinglong Street in the city. There was the only Xianyun Chess Club in the city. Ningxiang had noticed when she went out with Pei Jinghan before. Later, she heard from her aunt mention that the Xu family where Lu Cheng married into her family, Ningxiang guessed that it was this one.
The music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all elegant things. There are several tables of guests sitting in the shops of the three rooms of Xianyun Chess Club. Some people play chess and some stand next to watch chess, which is very quiet.
A young man saw Ningxiang and was amazed, then walked over quickly and asked softly: "Are the girl here to find someone?"
He worked as a chess club for three years, but he had never seen a woman play chess.
Ningxiang nodded, glanced inside, and asked in a low voice: "I am your shopkeeper Lu's fellow townsman, and his family asked me to pass on the message to him."
My shopkeeper is indeed from the countryside. The guy looked at Ningxiang again and saw that the little girl was beautiful and gentle, unlike a vixen who specialized in seducing men. Then he asked Ningxiang to follow him, went to the second floor, and then stopped in front of a door and said aloud: "Shopkeeper, a girl is looking for you, saying that it was your fellow countryman, and I sent you a message."
Lu Ji'an was sitting at the desk watching the chess score. He raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this, put the chess score and looked at the door, "Come in."
The sound was clear and pleasant, like the sound of a zither in the empty valley.
Ningxiang suddenly thought of the appearance of the Lu brothers. They are all from the family. Uncle Lu Chengsan must have a similar appearance, right?
The guy pushed open the door panel and motioned her to go in.
Ningxiang was inexplicably nervous, and walked in with her eyes down. She took two steps before she looked up.
I saw a handsome man wearing a light gray embroidered summer robe sitting at the desk. He was about thirty years old, with beautiful eyes, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that looked like Lu Cheng showed his identity. When he met the man's surprised gaze, Ningxiang smiled restrainedly and looked at the ground and explained awkwardly: "Shopkeeper Lu, actually, I have met your nephew Lu Cheng several times. He knew I needed money and borrowed me twenty taels, but I felt guilty, so please help me return it to him."
After saying that, she was afraid that the man would refuse, Ningxiang quickly put Lu Cheng's wallet on the desk, and left in a hurry without hearing what the man said.
Lu Cheng had such a good relationship with his third uncle's family. The twenty-two-tall parrot gave Anan casually. She believed that his third uncle would not greed for this money.
The little girl came and left like the wind. Lu Ji'an picked up the purse on the table, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
His nephew was very stubborn. No matter how poor he used to be, he would easily refuse to ask for their money. Now he is better, giving the girl money is generous enough.
As guessed that his nephew had probably entered the city, Lu Ji'an packed his wallet and sent someone to prepare a carriage.
Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Xu family.
Lu Cheng planned to stay at Uncle San's house for one night tonight and went back tomorrow morning. He was coaxing his son to wake up because he didn't see Ningxiang's angry son. When he heard that Uncle San was back, he smiled and hugged Anan to see his third grandfather.
Anan didn't take this trick. When she saw the young third grandfather, she didn't give her any face and held her chubby little face.
"Who bullies us Anan again?" Lu Ji'an took his nephew and carried it into his arms, teasing affectionately.
Anan hugged Grandpa's neck and called her mother in grievance.
Lu Ji'an guessed that the girl he had just met was the mother he had found for him.
It was so embarrassing that Lu Ji'an handed Anan to his wife Xu and asked Lu Cheng to speak outside. Without going around in circles, he directly lit his wallet.
Lu Cheng saw that, his face immediately sank.
He was smart and secretly gave her money. Unexpectedly, she was even more cruel. Knowing that he would not accept it, he directly found his third uncle.
"Whose girl is that? Why do you need so much money?" Lu Ji'an patted his nephew's shoulder and asked in a low voice.
Lu Cheng pursed his thin lips tightly, and he didn't want to say a word. She didn't eat soft and hard food, and she clearly didn't want to accept his affection. What's the use of saying that no matter how much he said?
After accusing his elders of guilt, Lu Cheng strode back to his guest room.
Lu Ji'an looked at his nephew's cold back and suddenly laughed.
The nephew suddenly wanted to marry Miss Feng two years ago, and insisted that he liked Miss Feng, but he didn't see how much love his nephew had for Miss Feng. Today, his nephew just changed his face, and he understood that his nephew was really enlightened this time.

Lengmei Pavilion.
Ningxiang used dinner by herself, and after the meal, she sat alone in the main hall in the upper room and was in a daze. She had been sitting outside and it was already dark before she heard something in the yard. Knowing that Pei Jinghan was back, Ningxiang clenched her hands, took a deep breath, and greeted her calmly. She was about to walk to the door and suddenly heard Su Yue cry out low.
Thinking something happened to Su Yue, Ningxiang immediately accelerated her pace and turned to the door to see it. However, under the hazy light, Pei Jinghan tightly tied Su Yue's waist and was lowering his head to kiss her. Su Yue struggled anxiously, but Pei Jinghan refused to let go, but his head slowly raised as if he had just remembered something.
Ningxiang saw the threat of indifference in those familiar phoenix eyes.
Did she see it on purpose?
Do you want her to understand that as long as she obeys, she can get his favor, or tell her that she and Su Yue are both maids, and he can do whatever he wants to them?
Ningxiang lowered her eyes silently.
"Go down, Ningxiang serves me tonight." Pei Jinghan gently touched Su Yue's hair and said lightly.
Su Yue knew that Pei Jinghan would force Ningxiang to express her opinion tonight, and corrected her clothes, and told Ningxiang as if nothing had happened, "I'm greedy for a few more cups on the prince's mat, remember to prepare sober tea for the prince." There was a smile in her voice, and she left after saying that.
She was not worried that Ningxiang would suffer a big loss tonight. This girl had no other skills, and Pei Jinghan had the strongest ability to soften her heart. When she cried and begged, Pei Jinghan would not be willing to be too arrogant. She was just like in her previous life, she was dragged until she was provoked by Shen Youyou, and Pei Jinghan was really crazy.
Su Yue left, Ningxiang looked at the man who was slowly approaching and whispered: "I'll pour tea for the prince."
Pei Jinghan didn't say anything, but after entering the house, he closed the door with his backhand.
Ningxiang had already walked to the table and heard the movement, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"Have you thought about it?" Pei Jinghan stopped behind her for three steps, looked at her fair side face and asked coldly.
A faint smell of alcohol floated over with the man's breathing.
Ningxiang's hand was about to touch the teapot and couldn't help but stop. She turned around, looked at Pei Jinghan, and asked calmly: "The prince is determined to accept me, aren't you afraid that the cousin will be sad?"
She also used this as an excuse. Pei Jinghan walked up to her with a sneer and said condescendingly: "Do you know that I accompany my cousin to the lake today, why should I take Su Yue with me? I just want my cousin to know that I like her and are willing to marry her, but I can't stop taking a concubine because of her. Ningxiang rest assured, cousin said, as long as you are honest, she doesn't mind that I will share some love for you."
"What else do you have to worry about now?" Looking at Ningxiang's soft face carefully, her eyes fell on her rosy lips, Pei Jinghan reached out and hugged her.
Ningxiang did not hide, and asked at him who was almost about to touch his chest and said, "If the cousin is sad because the prince spoiled me and Su Yue, she is depressed during pregnancy, so she gave birth prematurely in seven months and gave birth to a man stillbirth, the prince insists on spoiling me and Su Yue?"
