After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Until the end, Xiang Ming had no idea what the Marquis and Ning'er talked about that day.

All we know is that after Miss Ning left, the Marquis was silent for a long time, but for the first time ever, he found two imperial doctors and took the initiative to participate in the treatment and recovery with an unprecedented cooperative attitude.

Needless to say, the attitude of the people in the Marquis' Mansion was very different after he had such a change.

Seeing her son finally cheer up, the old lady was so happy that she chanted Buddha's name. After opening the ancestral temple to worship the heaven, earth and ancestors, she specially called her over and said in a friendly manner: "Good boy, it's hard for you to serve the Marquis so diligently and attentively. Don't worry, when Chongyan gets better, I will definitely make the decision for you, and you will have a good time then."

Xiang Ming was so frightened that she kowtowed and expressed her willingness, repeatedly stating that she would only strictly abide by her duties as a servant and would never dare to have the slightest desire to overstep her authority.

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Zhu was not annoyed at all. Instead, she asked her in detail about the situations when the Marquis and Ning'er were together.

Xiang Ming had no choice but to report what she had seen, and then said shamefully: "It was because of my incompetence that I offended Auntie in a moment of anxiety, and that I made a fool of myself in front of Miss Ning."

Zhu listened, but didn't care much: "After all, she comes from a small family, so it's no wonder that she would do something shameful," she said indifferently, "As long as Chongyan likes her and can expand the Shen family, even if she is a little stupid, what does it matter?"

"The most important thing right now is the Marquis's health and Ning'er's feelings..."

She confirmed again: "So, even in front of you, Ning'er still calls Chongyan 'Marquis'?"

Xiang Ming kowtowed and said, "I would never dare to deceive the old lady."

A hint of worry appeared on the old lady's face, but it quickly faded away. It was unclear whether she was talking to herself or Xiang Ming. She murmured, "It doesn't matter. Blood is thicker than water. Can we be strangers to each other for a lifetime?"

"You must remember," she looked at Xiang Ming with a solemn expression, "You are not allowed to tell anyone that Ning'er is not in the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone should just think that the original cousin caught a cold and then went back to Jiangdu to visit her mother."

"Got it?"

"The servant understands."

------

At this time, Ning'er, who was missed by Old Lady Zhu, was sitting in the carriage and yawning: "Sister Lin, why haven't you arrived yet?"

Lin Ruozhen waved his round fan and smiled, "How dare you say that? You've been dozing off all the way. What's wrong? Haven't you had enough rest these past few days?"

Compared with her usual flamboyant and gorgeous appearance, Lin Ruozhan was dressed extra delicately today. She wore a light pink crabapple-branched long jacket with a cross collar, a moon-white pleated skirt with dark lotus embroidered on it, and a precious-colored necklace hanging around her neck, which made her look gentle yet pretty.

Ning'er felt a little helpless. Too many things had happened recently, and she had completely forgotten what she had promised Lin Ruozhan to go to Chengguo Temple with her.

Or it was yesterday that Rulu came to her with a gift box in her hand, saying, "The second master of the Marquis's Mansion sent someone to deliver it specially, saying that someone is looking for you, and he was afraid that it would delay your business, so he hurriedly sent his confidant to secretly deliver it. Take a look, young lady, is there anything important?"

Ning'er opened the letter and found it was from Lin Ruozhan, asking about going to Chengguo Temple tomorrow. Should she come to pick Ning'er up to go together, or should Ning'er go to Lin's house to go with her?

Ning'er was shocked to realize that in the blink of an eye, it was already the time when she and Lin Ruozhan had agreed to meet. However, she was not in the Marquis' Mansion now, and it was difficult to publicize the matter, so she naturally could not ask Lin Ruozhan to come.

He hurriedly drafted a reply, and the next morning, he harnessed a simple carriage and went to the Lin Mansion.

However, Qingyuan Garden was originally an imperial garden, so naturally it was located in a place with beautiful scenery, quiet and remote from people. However, it was much farther from here to Lin Mansion than to Xinyuan Marquis Mansion.

In order not to reveal her flaws, Ning'er had to get up early. She didn't get enough sleep, so she felt tired and yawned all the way.

She smiled and said, "I was a heavy drinker last night. I made a cup of excellent Mengding tea and could not help but drink one more cup. I stayed awake till dawn. If the maid hadn't woken me up by shaking me, I would probably still be lying there. I would only be able to see Brother-in-law Lin in my dreams."

Lin Ruozhen smiled and twisted her: "You little mischievous ghost, you are making fun of me!"

Ning Er smiled and dodged: "Sister, please don't move. If you mess up such beautiful hairpins, it will be too late to cry."

Lin Ruozhen's two personal maids in the carriage couldn't help but smile: "Although Miss Ning is young, she is really humorous. It's rare for someone to control our eldest lady."

Lin Ruozhan raised his eyebrows and pretended to be angry and said, "You two girls are really spoiled. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back." Before he finished speaking, he laughed.

Having said that, she did not move again. Instead, she sat sideways and assumed a dignified ladylike posture, which showed that she had taken Ning'er's words to heart.

She carefully observed Ning'er's face and said, "I went to look for you at the Princess' banquet that day, but Old Madam Shen said you were ill. I was worried about you for several days, but fortunately, I saw you today and you are much better."

"But it's better that you weren't there that day," Lin Ruozhen sighed, "You don't know, I had a few words with Shen Ruyao at that time, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, such a horrifying thing happened in the Shen family! I'm afraid that Shen Ruyao will no longer be arrogant."

She asked Ning'er, "Has the mansion been in chaos these days, with people in a state of panic?"

Ning Er smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I just caught a cold and will be well again in a few days."

Now that the rumor about Luo Miaoyun's twins has spread to everyone in the capital, she can no longer play dumb, so she can only tell Lin Ruozhen tactfully: "The old lady and the marquis are in charge of the mansion. Although everyone was shocked for a while, they soon calmed down. But behind closed doors, just live your life as usual. Anyway, the emperor will make the decision, and I think the twists and turns of the matter will be judged by the public at that time."

Lin Ruozhen nodded and said, "That's absolutely right. After this happened, who wouldn't sympathize with the Shen family? Even my father at home sighed a lot, feeling that the Marquis was a hero all his life, but was bullied by a woman. It's really..."

She smiled and said, "He knew that I had made an appointment with you in the first place, and was afraid that I would worry about rumors and would not go to the Marquis' Mansion to break my appointment with you. He even specially called me over to lecture me, asking me to treat you as before."

Ning Er sighed: "Uncle Lin is truly an upright gentleman."

"He is just like that," Lin Ruozhen complained, "He is never willing to give in to others because they are in power, and he is even more unwilling to distance himself from others because they are in trouble. I don't know how many people he has offended, and how much my mother has worried about him."

Although she complained, her expression was full of intimacy: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been forced by him to come here today."

Ning Er recalled the time she met Chu Yue at the banquet that day. To be honest, his appearance and manners were among the best among the sons of noble families, so she smiled and said, "The one Uncle Lin chose must be right. How can you know if he likes you without meeting him?"

Lin Ruozhan glanced at her and sighed softly: "Others may not know, but don't you know either?" Because they were in the car, she quickly perked up. Seeing that Ning'er still looked tired, she thought of a popular anecdote to tell her to cheer her up.

She deliberately lowered her voice and said to Ning'er, "You seldom go out and walk, and you don't socialize much, so I'm afraid you don't know that a strange thing has been circulating secretly these days."

Seeing her mysterious look, Ning Er really became interested. She asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Why is it so mysterious?"

"You are the one asking. If it were someone else, I would never tell her," Lin Ruozhen said with a smug smile, "Do you know? I heard that our Majesty secretly brought back an extraordinary young master from outside the capital!"

"According to some people who have seen him, the young master is of a very noble status, behaves very respectably, and looks like a fairy from heaven. His Majesty attaches great importance to him, and there are even rumors that this young master may have great fortune in the future!"

"what?!"
