"marry" to your nemesis

"Have you heard? The Su family sent someone to the mansion to propose a marriage." In the corner of the courtyard, the little maids who had nothing to do gathered together to discuss.

"Miss has only returned to the mansion for two days, and she is going to get married?"

"Master and Madam are very fond of Mr. Su, and the young master even intentionally matched Miss and Mr. Su before. Now that Mr. Su brings someone to propose marriage, he should have already asked Mrs. Su's wishes, so..."

"Wow, according to this, we will have a happy event in the Tang Mansion soon!"

Several little girls gathered together, chattering non-stop.

It's just that compared with the hustle and bustle here, the atmosphere in the corner is very depressing.

Feng Ling pursed her thin lips, and turned around silently.

After passing through the courtyard, just as Feng Ling entered the side courtyard, she saw a figure standing in the middle of the courtyard.

The sycamore trees in the yard have turned yellow, and a few leaves have fallen here and there.

"What are you doing in the yard?" Feng Ling walked over and picked the fallen leaves off Tang Xiao's shoulders.

Tang Xiao turned his head when he heard Feng Ling's voice, "Sister Ning'er."

"What's wrong?" Feng Ling asked lightly.

But no matter how indifferent Feng Ling is, Tang Xiao will always face her with the most enthusiastic appearance.

Tang Xiao grinned happily, "Sister Ning'er, Mr. Su has brought someone to propose marriage."

"..." Feng Ling didn't expect Tang Xiao to open his mouth to say this, so he was stunned for a moment, and then responded, "En."

"Say, do I agree?" Tang Xiao took Feng Ling's hand and walked towards the house.

With a cold face, Feng Ling simply asked, "What's your impression of Mr. Su?"

"Is there an impression? Gentle and elegant, knowledgeable?" Tang Xiao really couldn't tell, so he tilted his head and looked at Feng Ling.

Feng Ling sat there, pouring the tea without any hesitation or frustration.

After a long time, she asked, "Do you like staying with him?"

Tang Xiao thought for a while, and replied, "If he doesn't say those polite words, I still like staying with him very much."

"...That's it." Feng Ling couldn't help smiling, but under the corner of the crooked mouth, there was a bitterness that Tang Xiao couldn't detect.

Tang Xiao rested his chin, thinking carefully about the Su family's marriage proposal.

And at this moment, Feng Ling suddenly pressed the teacup in his hand very hard.

Tang Xiao was taken aback.

Just when she was about to ask Feng Ling what was going on, Feng Ling suddenly turned her head and looked at her with burning eyes.

"What... what's wrong?" Tang Xiao felt a little dazed.

Looking at Feng Ling, she felt that in Feng Ling's usually calm eyes, it seemed that there was a storm at this moment, full of turbulent waves.

"Then stay with me?" Feng Ling blurted out, but after she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful.

She didn't want to embarrass Tang Xiao.

But... But she really couldn't just let her go to others.

In fact, when she saw Tang Xiao again, Feng Ling didn't think about anything at all, she just wanted to be with this silly girl silently, she didn't want anything, she didn't plan for anything.

But now that the son of the Su family came to the mansion to propose marriage, Feng Ling suddenly found it difficult to maintain his inner peace.

she……

She didn't seem as determined as she thought.

Under Feng Ling's slightly weird eyes, Tang Xiao didn't give an answer for a while.

However, just when she opened her mouth to say something, the servant next to Tang Wenxuan suddenly ran over and called Tang Xiao away.

Before leaving, Tang Xiao always felt as if he had forgotten something, and his heart was empty.

It wasn't until she walked outside the yard that she remembered it, turned her head and howled at Feng Ling who was in the yard, "Sister Ning'er, we will talk when I come back!"

Feng Ling sat in the room, she looked at the teacup Tang Xiao drank just now, and after a long time, she pulled the corners of her lips with difficulty.

Tang Mansion's study, Tang Wenxuan called Tang Xiao over, which meant Tang Zhenning.The purpose is to ask Tang Xiao's mind.

When Tang Xiao came back to look for Feng Ling, it was getting late.

Tang Xiao originally planned to have dinner with Feng Ling, but he didn't expect that the yard was empty, and there was not even a single person in the room.

On the table, there was a bright red candied haws and an unsigned letter.

Tang Xiao stepped forward and picked up the letter with trembling fingers.

Opening it up, it was Feng Ling's.

Feng Ling said that she had studied with a Taoist priest on Kongye Mountain in the suburbs, and now she wanted to go back and have a look, so she had to leave for a few days.

After reading the letter, Tang Xiao let go of his hand, and the letter fell on the table.

Tang Xiao's eyes also fell on the table. The candied haws on the table were so red that it almost burned Tang Xiao's eyes.

Reaching out to take it, Tang Xiao took a bite.

Sweet and sour, the taste is different from that sold by anyone in Fuyang City.

But this kind of taste, stepped on Tang Xiao's taste buds precisely, it is Tang Xiao's favorite!

This... Where did this come from?

It was so delicious that Tang Xiao wanted to cry...

But as soon as he had this thought, Tang Xiao felt his face was wet.

Reaching out to touch it, she actually shed tears.

In the outskirts, Feng Ling rode on the horse, walking towards the direction of Kongye Mountain at a leisurely pace.

Fuyang City was behind her, drifting away.

The afterglow of the setting sun paved the way ahead of her, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers on Kongye Mountain was very lively.

But Feng Ling was cold, her eyes were cold, and her heart was cold.

"Ning'er?" The gymnasium on Kongye Mountain has always been deserted, and few people come all the year round, so Feng Ling's appearance immediately attracted Xuan Zhenzi's attention.

What Feng Ling didn't expect was that after seeing each other after so many years, he had obviously grown up and changed his appearance, but Xuan Zhenzi still recognized her at a glance.

"Master!" Feng Ling jumped off the horse, and quickly walked in front of Xuan Zhenzi.

Xuan Zhenzi put down the broom in his hand, and looked at Feng Ling with a smile, "The little girl has grown so big."

Yes, it has been more than ten years now.

"Master, I didn't expect you to remember me..." Feng Ling thought that she was not very good at emotional matters, and she rarely showed her emotions on her face on weekdays.

But looking at Xuan Zhenzi, Feng Ling lamented that the time was rushing, and at the same time that everything was changing, she suddenly felt warm and sour in her heart, and the corners of her eyes turned red.

Xuan Zhenzi looked at Feng Ling with a loving face.

He glanced behind Feng Ling and saw that there was no one behind her, so he looked away again, looked at Feng Ling again, and said, "You have suffered outside these years..."

"It's not bitter." Feng Ling had long been used to it, so the answer was taken for granted.

Xuan Zhenzi smiled and sighed, "You child, you still have that temper..."

After sighing, Xuan Zhenzi asked Feng Ling to enter the house quickly.

He brewed a pot of black tea, which still tasted the same as before.

"This gym is no longer what it used to be." Xuan Zhenzi sat cross-legged. Although he was showing a bit of old age at this time, he was sitting upright and very upright. "Why did you suddenly remember to look at me?" ?”

"Master has been kind to me in nurturing me, so I should come back to see you." Feng Ling said calmly, "There was a reason for leaving without saying goodbye, and then... something happened, so I didn't come back."

Speaking of this, Feng Ling's eyes suddenly dimmed.

This matter has to start seven or eight years ago.

That year, because of her own negligence, Fengling had seriously injured someone. In order to find a way to save that person, Fengling left the gymnasium alone to seek medical advice.

Later, she met the eldest princess Liruo.

Li Ruo had good medicine in his hands, Feng Ling agreed to obey Li Ruo for this medicine.

Later, Feng Ling secretly took the medicine back, and on the day she returned to Li Ruo, Li Ruo gave her a pill.

Li Ruo said that this medicine can ensure her loyalty.

Feng Ling didn't have any doubts, and swallowed it directly.

Unexpectedly, this medicine is not a poison, but a pill that makes people lose their memory.

After that, Feng Ling forgot everything, until... until Ding Pingnan who made the pill appeared, she had the chance to retrieve those lost memories.

It was only then that she realized that the person who had been pestering her and calling her "Sister Ning'er" did not admit the wrong person at all.

In fact, it was Feng Ling who forgot, her real name - Wu Ning'er.

That Tang Xiao who stood by her side and accompanied her firmly was right.

She... is the sister Ning'er that Tang Xiao said.

"This is fate." Xuan Zhenzi put down the teacup in his hand and said, "When you were abandoned outside the gymnasium, I ordered your life for you. Seeing that your life is rough and you can't die well, the only chance of life is to let you stay. It is good to practice in meditation."

"From now on, I will teach you the method of self-cultivation and mind-cultivation as a teacher, but I hope you can stop thinking about everything. I never thought that this child, Xiao'er, would become a hurdle in your life."

"Back then, when I went down the mountain as a teacher, I happened to give orders to the child Xiao'er. I saw that her fate was unlucky, and she was robbed at a young age. I was afraid that she would die when she was young. I also thought that the Tang family was kind and generous in Fuyang City. They are really good people. Bring the smile back."

"I want to talk about this fate..." Xuan Zhenzi sighed, and his eyes suddenly became far-reaching, "As a teacher, I have given orders for you, and the fate is clear, but as a teacher, I have never thought that the fates of the two of you complement each other. Each has its turn."

"Turning opportunity?" Feng Ling didn't believe in fate for so many years.

But when Xuan Zhenzi talked about the past, he had to say, "fate" is hard to explain, but it seems to be inextricably linked.

"Back then, I gave the child Xiao'er a fate. According to the fate, she would not live to be eight years old. When she was eight years old, she fell into the river because of you, contracted a serious illness, and almost died." Xuan Zhenzi put the teacup on the The fire simmered again, "But it was because of you that she saved her life. And you... because of that girl Xiao'er, you got involved in those things."

Speaking of these, Xuan Zhenzi couldn't help sighing for a long time.

However, Feng Ling only cared about one thing, "Master, you are joking that you are not lucky enough to live to be eight years old. Now that she has lived past this age, will there be... will there be disasters?"

"Fate changes, and no one can really understand it. There is no complete direction for future events. Everything depends on one word—Xiu." After finishing speaking, Xuan Zhenzi took a deep look at Feng Ling, and immediately Then he smiled, "Master, I have already said a lot today, and the rest can only be chosen by you."

Xuan Zhenzi turned his head and glanced at the sky outside the window, it was completely dark now.

"It's not early, so you can eat some simple food, and you will be here for the night."

After finishing speaking, Xuan Zhenzi got up and went out to prepare dinner, leaving Feng Ling alone in the room, lost in deep thought.

Fate, what is it?
