Chapter 123 Uneasy and kind-hearted
After sending Su Yuan back to the Marquis of Zhennan's Mansion, Chen returned to the Duke of Yu's Mansion with satisfaction.
As soon as she entered the room, Lu Ziyi stepped forward and took the initiative to help Chen in.
"Mother, have Lord Chen and Madam Chen agreed to this marriage?" Lu Ziyi was eager to know the answer.
Chen patted the back of Lu Ziyi's hand, "You don't have to be so attentive here! Oh? Why is Mr. Lu so free today? Doesn't he have to go out and play with his friends?"
Lu Ziyi: ...
He had no intention of joining them in fooling around these days. He just wanted to know whether the Chen family agreed to this marriage.
What if Chen Jingzhong looked down on him...
Chen Jingzhong is a close confidant of His Majesty, so it is normal that he looks down on him.
How can he capture Chen Jingzhong's heart and make Chen Jingzhong willingly marry his daughter to him?
Lu Ziyi touched his chin and thought seriously.
Chen Jingzhong is best at riding and shooting. In the days to come, he will practice riding and shooting hard and must not let Chen Jingzhong look down on him!
"Mother! From now on, I won't just focus on eating, drinking and having fun! I will study hard and practice martial arts seriously, and I won't let you and father down." Lu Ziyi promised.
Chen looked at Lu Ziyi with half belief and half doubt. Could beauty really be so effective?
Chen Qingluo hasn't even married in yet, and Lu Ziyi has already changed his ways?
After Chen Qingluo marries in, won’t Lu Ziyi be completely under their control?
Chen secretly gave credit to her future daughter-in-law in her heart.
"I don't expect you to pass the imperial examination. I just hope you don't become an illiterate, rough man! You like martial arts, so you can become a military commander like your father in the future.
In the future, whether it's your cousin or your younger cousin who ascends the throne, as long as you can protect the Duke of Yu's Mansion, your mother will be satisfied." Chen suddenly looked at Lu Ziyi with a loving face.
Lu Ziyi sat next to Chen, "I understand."
If they want to keep the Duke of Yu's Mansion, they cannot let Sima Gong ascend the throne!
Sima Gong always complained that his father was too strict and held a grudge against him in his heart.
In addition, Wang Ruhai was used to flattering Sima Gong, so Sima Gong was more inclined to favor Wang Ruhai, an outsider, and disliked Lu Qin, his uncle.
But even if he told his father these words, his father would not believe it.
In his father's eyes, Sima Gong was just a little lustful, which was harmless, and his father would not give up on Sima Gong easily.
There is no rush for this matter. Your Majesty is not yet old enough to worry about the succession of the new emperor. Let's wait a few years.
Given Sima Gong's lustful nature, he might even go there before Your Majesty.
"You should go and practice martial arts. Mother will go to the Chen family to propose marriage tomorrow. As for the purpose of the marriage, we need to discuss it slowly before making a decision.
Don't worry, don't let Chen Jingzhong know you're attracted to Luo'er, and don't do anything that crosses the line, otherwise, this marriage will be canceled." Chen warned.
Lu Ziyi retorted, "Mother! What do you mean by lust at first sight? What nonsense are you talking about? I... I fell in love with you at first sight!"
To say that he was attracted by beauty is too harsh!
Chen snorted coldly, "What's the difference? In short, you just have to behave yourself! Don't bother Luo'er before we get married."
Lu Ziyi pursed his lips. He didn't dare to disobey Chen anymore and nodded in agreement.
……
After the Lu and Chen families got engaged, Su Yuan went to the Chen Mansion to pick up Ning to live in the Marquis' Mansion.
She only allowed Ning to bring a nanny from the Chen family. This nanny was brought from Ning's mother's home to the Chen family and had always been the most capable nanny around Ning.
Su Yuan arranged for Ning to live in her courtyard, and she asked Qingying to keep an eye on Nanny Ning.
There are not many people who can take action against the Ning family without arousing the suspicion of Chen Jingzhong and the Ning family.
This Nanny Ning had been with Ning for the longest time, so maybe she was the one who murdered Ning.
She would not trust any servant 100%.
People are always selfish. Even fathers and sons can become enemies, let alone master and servant?
"Sister Ning, you live next door to me. Starting tomorrow, I will begin to treat you. Sister Ning, don't worry. I will definitely cure you." Su Yuan patted Ning's hand and comforted her.
Ning was still a little uncomfortable. It was her first time leaving the Chen family and staying in another mansion.
Ever since she married Chen Jingzhong, she never stayed overnight at the Ning family. This time, she was willing to stay at the Zhennan Marquis Mansion for three months.
"Sister Su, should I go visit the old lady? Is the old lady in good health?" Ning asked.
When she came to the Zhennan Marquis's Mansion, she should definitely visit the old lady of Zhennan Marquis.
Otherwise, she would just move into the Marquis's Mansion. How offensive would that be?
Su Yuan explained, "My mother-in-law was upset and fell ill. Now... Sister Ning, you don't have to be polite."
Now Zhou and Gu Zhiquan are both paralyzed in bed. With servants taking care of them, their lives are not in danger.
But they are not suitable for meeting guests.
Hearing this, Ning understood.
She is not in good health now. She will go to pay her respects to the old lady after she recovers.
Ning exchanged a few words with Su Yuan and then went back to her room to rest.
Nanny Ning helped Ning back to her room.
"Madam, why is Madam Gu so enthusiastic? Our Chen family and the Zhennan Marquis Mansion don't have much interaction, but Madam Gu actually took Madam here to take care of her personally. It's really unbelievable.
Madam, do you think Madam Gu has any intentions?" Nanny Ning whispered as she massaged Madam Ning.
Ning fell into deep thought. She hadn't thought much about it before. After all, Su Yuan said that her illness could be cured, so she decided to give it a try.
But now that she thought about it carefully, she couldn't understand why Su Yuan helped her like this.
She had no idea what Su Yuan's purpose was.
Maybe, Su Yuan is just a kind-hearted doctor who wants to save her life?
She had no better choice than to trust Su Yuan.
"Sister Su is a miracle doctor. Doctors are kind-hearted. She probably has no ulterior motives." Ning said.
Nanny Ning also said that there was no grudge between the Chen family and the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, and there was no need for Su Yuan to harm her.
Nanny Ning: ...
Is Ning too naive? Or is she just stupid?
Is there any good thing in the world that comes without reason?
Chen Jingzhong protected Ning too well, which is why Ning developed such a naive and simple personality.
She felt that Su Yuan had bad intentions.
"Madam! You are just too kind. You should always be on guard against others. You should be more careful and vigilant." Nanny Ning advised in a low voice.
Ning pursed her lips. Since she had received Su Yuan's kindness, how could she be ungrateful and suspicious of Su Yuan?
Seeing that Ning Shi didn't say anything, Nanny Ning continued, "Madam, would you like me to go and tell my uncle and the others? They don't know your condition and I'm afraid they will be worried about you."
Ning thought for a moment and nodded, "Go back to the Ning family tomorrow and tell my brother and sister-in-law that everything is fine at the Zhennan Marquis Mansion and that they don't need to worry."
