On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

"Miss, why are we back?" Guizhi blinked and found himself in the west wing of the Hou Mansion, and was greatly surprised.

Her head was dizzy, and the only memory left in her mind was how she and Miss Sui accompanied two princes to have wine and food in Zuixian Pavilion, and how they parted unhappily in the end.

Of course, there was also the stern warning given by the Fourth Young Master when he was present.

"Miss, we seemed to be going somewhere else, why are we going back home?"

"Besides, it was early afternoon, and now it's almost evening outside the window."

"This is a bit weird, isn't it? Didn't today pass too quickly?"

"Quickly change out of your clothes. Don't let the master and madam smell the alcohol on our bodies." Ning Luo didn't answer her question and changed into men's clothes.

The little maid was originally confused and would forget many things in a day.

Guizhi thought about going out with the lady and being caught by the Fourth Young Master, who would probably turn around and be held accountable. She was so frightened that she could no longer think of anything else.

The two changed back into women's clothes. Guizhi was helping Ning Luo comb her hair. Ziyuan came in and was surprised to see the two of them in the room. "Miss, when did you come back?"

"I just came back." Before she asked any other questions, Ning Luo asked first, "How is the house today?"

Originally it was just a casual question, but Ziyuan had a sad face and said, "No, the Liu family has come to break off the engagement."

"They bullied our master because he lost his title and didn't want to marry us."

Although they are maids of the Ning Mansion, the servants feel that they are both harmed when their master is humiliated.

Guizhi was even more worried than Ningluo, and asked eagerly: "Does the Fifth Young Master know?"

The fifth son, Ning Yuanbo, is the fifth brother of Ning Luo in this life. He is currently twenty-three years old and studying in the Imperial College. He is already a member of the imperial family. If he wins the Jinshi next spring, he will be able to become an official.

Even if you start from a junior official, you are still a civil servant with a Jinshi background. You will be promoted steadily in the future and have a bright future.

The Great Xia Kingdom has been at peace for the past decade or so, with no wars. The imperial court values ​​civil officials over military officials, and the status of civil officials is higher than that of military officials.

A few years ago, a matchmaker proposed a marriage, and Ning Yuanbo was engaged to Liu Yingying, the daughter of Liu Cheng, the Shaoqing of the Sinong Temple, and they were waiting for him to pass the imperial examination and marry her next year.

Unexpectedly, the woman's family was suddenly so eager to break the engagement.

Is it for the purpose of selecting a concubine to enter the palace?

Ning Luo frowned, the Ning family had not yet reached the point where the tree fell and the hozens scattered.

It's just that the eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't have any objections to his father's loss of title, but the fifth brother's unmarried daughter-in-law's family came to humiliate him and repent of the marriage. It was really too much of a deception.

Ning Luo asked solemnly, "Is the Liu family still here?"

"The Liu family is still in the flower hall. The master has sent people to the Imperial Academy to invite the fifth master to come back to discuss the matter." Ziyuan said, "The master and his wife have agreed to cancel the engagement, but the fifth master still needs to express his position in person."

Ning Luo stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."

As she spoke, she quickly walked out of the wing room and headed straight for the front yard. Two maids followed her and advised her carefully, "Miss, the master and his wife have decided on this matter. You are an unmarried girl, so you must not stand out, lest your reputation be ruined."

"I'm not in a hurry to get married. Why do I care about my reputation?" Ning Luo asked again, "Does it mean that all women in the world who don't get married have no way to survive?"

"He's bullied me now, and if I don't stand up for my fifth brother, I'd be unworthy of being his sister."

Although Ning Luo has Xiao Ding in her heart, she still has to go through various tests in this life. If she gets married, she might marry someone other than him, which would be a big trouble. Therefore, she doesn't care about her reputation at all.

Anyway, they both have children, so they have a long time ahead.
