The heavy rain in late autumn poured down.

Grandma Huiyi hurriedly came to take Ning Ziqing back to Xiyuan under an umbrella.

When she got closer, she realized that Ning Ziqing was being held in Ning Zijun's arms, her face full of sadness and tears.

Grandma Hui Yi felt very distressed. She quickly moved the umbrella to Ning Ziqing and said in a slightly stiff voice in the Nanyao dialect she had just learned: "Princess, don't cry, let's go back."

Several maids stepped forward to help Ning Ziqing, but Ning Zijun stopped them.

He personally picked up Ning Ziqing and quickly left Lord Ning's garden.

After they left, Mrs. Song simply ordered her servants to go to the study to clean up, and then took Mother Cui back to Huiyue Pavilion.

On the way, Cui's mother asked worriedly: "Madam, aren't you going to persuade the Marquis?"

Mrs. Song sneered: "Today, this special day, is like a thorn in the heart for Mr. Hou. He is mourning his deceased wife and is in great pain. Why should I go and find trouble for myself!"

She stopped and stood in the rain, looking back at the direction Ning Zijun and Ning Ziqing left, with a proud smile on her lips.

"We can't cure these two little bastards, so we can just add more trouble to them!"

A flash of fierceness flashed in her eyes, and she told Mother Cui: "Let someone reveal what happened tonight to Fu Mansion!"

Cui's mother immediately understood her intention, nodded in agreement, and reminded: "After the prince gets married, we have to hurry up and arrange the marriage for the fourth young lady."

Mrs. Song frowned, thinking of the current situation in the court, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"The prince was suddenly deposed, and the situation in the DPRK became tense. I wonder which prince your Majesty prefers to take over the East Palace?"

Cui's mother repeatedly said: "Of course it's the second prince. The fourth prince has never been favored by His Majesty. It won't be his turn even if he thinks about it."

Song shook his head and analyzed calmly: "The fourth prince has a very high reputation due to his success in the Gucheng case and flood control, and your majesty also favors him. If the second prince wants to successfully win the position of crown prince, it may not be easy." thing."

Mrs. Song felt vaguely uneasy as she listened to the patter of rain, but thinking that Ning Zilan could only rely on the second prince, she suppressed her emotions and kept her eyes firm.

"The throne of the Crown Princess can only be occupied by my Lan'er."

She murmured, with the flames of revenge flashing in her eyes, "Only in this way can the shame of the past be washed away."

Ning Zijun carried Ning Ziqing back to Xiyuan. Yinxiang and the others quickly changed her soaked clothes and lit a charcoal fire to wring her hair.

Ning Ziqing sat by the bed with a dull expression, feeling depressed and letting them do what they wanted.

Soon, Jiang Fei brought a bowl of ginger soup for Ning Ziqing to drink. Huiyi's mother turned off the lights in the room and coaxed her to sleep.

Ning Zijun kept waiting in the outer room until he confirmed that Ning Ziqing was sleeping peacefully before getting up and leaving.

The next morning, Ning Zijun made a special trip to Xiyuan to visit Ning Ziqing before going out.

Yinxiang told him that Ning Ziqing hadn't woken up yet. Ning Zijun whispered a few words and headed to the northern suburbs camp.

Over at the Fu Mansion, when Mr. Fu was walking in the garden in the early morning, he accidentally heard two young men who had returned from shopping talking about what happened last night. In anger, he rushed to the Hou Mansion to question Lord Ning.

Unexpectedly, after taking just a few steps, he stepped on the slippery ground, fell, and fainted, which scared Uncle Fu out of his wits.

After hearing the news, Uncle Fu and others hurriedly sent people to the Su Mansion to invite Jiang Quhan to come and treat Uncle Fu.

Jiang Quhan only returned to Su Mansion last night. When he learned that Mr. Fu was in trouble, he was so anxious that he didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so he and Su Yanqi rushed to Fu Mansion immediately.

After careful diagnosis and treatment by Jiang Quhan, it was discovered that Mr. Fu was not in any serious health condition. He was just angry and sprained in his feet, which caused him to suffer from vertigo and fall into a coma.

Jiang Quhan and Su Yanqi stayed by Mr. Fu's bedside. When he woke up, a few hours later, they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he had regained consciousness.

Mr. Fu woke up and saw Jiang Quhan, struggling to get up emotionally.

His eyes were red, he held Jiang Quhan's hand tightly, and shouted to get out of bed and go to the Hou Mansion.

"Mr. Jiang, Manman...manman is pitiful. I'm going to bring her back..."

Jiang Quhan comforted him with a warm voice: "Old man, your health is critical and you can't get angry anymore. You take good care of him and I will go and bring Manman back."

Mr. Fu beat his heart and cursed bitterly: "Ning Yuzhang, this bastard, I haven't settled the accounts with him when he defrauded Aye. Now he dares to hurt my grandson and Manman!"

He looked at Uncle Fu and the others with cold eyes, and said decisively: "Go and bring these two brothers and sisters back to the Fu family. The worst is to leave the father alone. If Ning Yuzhang doesn't love my Manman, I will let Manman change his surname. Fu, be the granddaughter of my Fu family!"

Uncle Fu and the others were afraid that Mr. Fu would fall ill from anger again, so they had no choice but to agree.

People in the room took turns comforting Mr. Fu for a long time before he gradually calmed down.

Afterwards, Jiang Quhan prescribed the medicine and explained some precautions, and prepared to go to Ninghou Mansion with Su Yanqi to pick up Ning Ziqing.

When the two went out, they almost ran into Jiang Qie.

Jiang Qe took a step back and reported urgently: "Your Majesty, Asaya locked herself in the room without eating or drinking. Please go and persuade her!"

The two hurried to Xiyuan and saw the servants standing in the garden at a loss.

Huiyi's grandmother was holding dinner outside Ningzi's green house with an anxious look on her face, persuading her to open the door.

Jiang Quhan stepped forward and pulled Hui Yi's mother away and slapped the door hard.

"Ning Manman, please open the door quickly and eat your food first!"

There was no response from the room.

Jiang Quhan felt nervous and raised his foot to kick open the door.

Yaoyao saw this and came over to stop him.

"It's no use. I climbed in through the window in the afternoon and she just refused to listen to whatever I told her!"

Su Yanqi was so anxious that he walked to the window and wanted to climb in in public regardless of his appearance.

Jiang Quhan grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "You guys wait outside and let me go in to persuade her."

Jiang Quhan pushed open the window and jumped in.

The room was dark, with no lights on.

Jiang Quhan took out the fire fold and lit the lamp on the table, walked straight to the bed and lifted the bed curtains.

Ning Ziqing was seen sitting on the bed with her hands wrapped around her legs, her hair disheveled, and her expression dull.

Jiang Quhan stretched out his palm distressedly, gently placed it on her cheek, and coaxed gently: "What's wrong with our little princess? She would rather go hungry than talk to everyone? Did she suddenly change her gender?"

Ning Ziqing didn't say anything, just shed tears, which made Jiang Quhan feel extremely uncomfortable.

Jiang Quhan didn't comfort her immediately. He held Ning Ziqing in his arms and patted her back to calm her down.

"Let's have a good cry. When we've cried enough, we can eat the food and then solve the problem, okay?"

Ning Ziqing burst into tears in his arms instantly.

Su Yanqi heard Ning Ziqing's sad cry outside the window and felt a dull pain in her heart.

He stood lonely in front of the window, wanting to go in to see her and comfort her.

But when he thought of the wish Ning Ziqing told him yesterday.

Su Yanqi laughed sadly, silently took back the hand that was pressing on the window eaves, hid it in his sleeves, and tried hard to hold back the impulse in his heart.

The crying in the house continued for a long time.

Yaoyao finally couldn't help it and said impatiently: "I'll go find the Fourth Highness and give it a try."

After saying that, he climbed over the wall and went out to find Huo Yunjue.

I don't know how long it took, but Ning Ziqing was tired of crying. She leaned tiredly on Jiang Quhan's chest and sobbed.

Jiang Quhan stroked her head and suddenly asked, "Do you want to hear a story?"

Ning Ziqing shook his head.

Jiang Quhan did not give up and continued: "Maybe you will feel much better after listening to this."

Ning Ziqing paused and hummed with a nasal sound.

Jiang Quhan pulled the quilt over her and began to tell her.

"Many years ago, a beautiful prairie princess fell in love with the prince of a great country."

"The prince made a promise to the princess. He said that as long as he helps his brother eliminate the largest rebellious tribe on the grassland, his brother will agree to their marriage."

"However, fate played a cruel joke on them. The leaders of the big tribes have always coveted the princess's tribe. Just before the prince was about to attack, they took the lead in launching an attack on the princess's tribe."

"The princess's tribe could not resist, so they had no choice but to send people to ask the prince for help. After the prince heard about it, he immediately asked his brother for permission to lead troops to rescue his beloved princess."

"Although the imperial brother agreed on the surface, he actually deliberately delayed the time, which caused the princess's tribe to be destroyed. Her father was brutally killed, and the princess and most of the tribe were captured."

“The leader coveted the princess’s beauty, so he forcibly humiliated her and killed those tribesmen who refused to surrender.

"When the prince led his army to pursue her, and after a series of fierce battles with the tribe, the princess was rescued two months later."

"But the princess was resentful of the prince. She scolded him for his betrayal and abandonment of her tribe. No matter how much the prince begged, the princess refused to follow him."

"The prince repeatedly begged the princess for forgiveness. The princess was disheartened and tried to escape and commit suicide several times, but she was discovered and rescued by the prince in time. In the end, she gave up her struggle and returned to his capital with the prince."

"The prince went to ask his brother to marry him, but his brother refused the marriage on the grounds that the princess had lost her innocence and could not become a member of the royal family."

"At this moment, the princess found out that she was pregnant. She went crazy and made a fuss in the prince's palace, hoping that the prince would give her a happy ending and end her life."

"The prince loves the princess deeply and is unwilling to see her give up her life, so he insists on marrying her as his concubine."

"The princess finally softened her heart when she saw the prince who was so infatuated with her, and she agreed to the prince's proposal."

"The prince was happily preparing for the wedding, but the princess quietly escaped with the help of a grandma in the mansion."

"When the prince found the princess again, he learned that she had failed to sneak into the big tribe to assassinate the leader and was captured.

"The prince did not hesitate to go to negotiate in person. In order to save the princess, he hid the truth from his brother and gave up three important cities before finally getting the princess back."

"The princess refused to follow the prince back. The trauma in her heart was too deep, and she was not even willing to leave the child in her belly. She originally planned to die with the leader of the big tribe."

"The prince had no choice but to take her to live in a villa on the border. He took good care of the princess's body and promised her that he would help her get revenge. He just wanted the princess to live and stay by his side. "

"The princess promised him on the surface, but secretly she was secretly looking for various drugs in order to abort the child in her belly. But those drugs seriously damaged her body and caused her to fall into a coma."

"The doctor told the prince that because the baby in the princess's belly was already very old, a forced abortion would endanger her life."

"The prince was so anxious that he had no choice but to turn to a famous doctor who had saved her before, hoping that he could save the princess's life."

Jiang Quhan paused when he said this.

Ning Ziqing, who was in her arms, listened to the story with concern and asked him tentatively: "Could this story you told...could it be your life experience?"

Jiang Quhan smiled calmly and admitted frankly: "Yes, the princess in the story is my mother. I once told you that her name is Jiang Yingrou. And that prince is my adoptive father, Qian Yeguo Prince Ruian, Sikong Yin."

"As for my biological father," Jiang Quhan's eyes flashed with deepness, "You may have guessed that he is the leader of the Red Sand Tribe."

"It was me who cut off his head with my own hands and destroyed the entire Hongsha tribe."

When Ning Ziqing heard this, his expression was shocked. He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Quhan, his lips moved, but he couldn't even say a word of comfort.

Jiang Quhan looked at her reaction with a calm expression. He let go of Ning Ziqing, looked directly into her eyes, and asked half-jokingly: "Ning Manman, who is more miserable between the two of us?"
