Zhong Liyuan seemed to be very busy every day, but he would inquire about Zhang Ning's study progress every night without hesitation. After a few days, Zhang Ning actually finished memorizing a book in stumbles.
"It turned out that he only wanted me to study hard so that I could explain to my father," Zhang Ning cried bitterly, "I was overthinking it."
The system was a little relieved: "You understand."
Zhang Ning burst into tears: "But traditional Chinese characters are too difficult! Wow——"
And he hasn't seen the heroine for several days.Since Zhang Ning met Baili Sihan last time, he didn't see Baili Sihan in the jewelry store for the next few days.
Zhang Ning had to go to the jewelry store today, and if he didn't see the heroine again, he planned to find an excuse to go to the prime minister's mansion.
"Hey, Miss Baili!"
Before Zhang Ning approached the jewelry store, he happened to see Baili Sihan coming out of the store, and hurried over to stop her: "You these few days..."
Before Zhang Ning could speak, he was surprised when he saw Baili Sihan's face: "What are you doing? Why are you so haggard after not seeing you for a few days?"
When Baili Sihan saw Zhang Ning, she looked away and her eyes were red. After a forced smile, she said, "I haven't slept well these few days, and I'm a bit listless."
Zhang Ning asked with concern: "Did you see the doctor?"
"I've seen it," Bailisi was absent-minded, and she suddenly said, "Young Master Weisheng, thank you for taking care of me during this period of time."
"I think this period of time is too tiring. I won't come to this jewelry store again."
Zhang Ning was stunned, but before he could speak, Baili Sihan quickly said, "I still have dozens of blueprints, all of which are handed over to the craftsmen."
"And this." Baili Sihan was holding a wooden hairpin in his hand. It was not a precious material, but it was polished very finely. "This is for you."
Zhang Ning couldn't digest Baili Sihan's words for a while, he always felt that Baili Sihan was covering up something...but what was she covering up?
Baili Sihan stood on the steps, a little higher than Zhang Ning. She looked at Zhang Ning fixedly, and her gaze seemed to be behind Zhang Ning.
"Young Master Weisheng," Baili Sihan said softly, "I'll put it on for you."
Without waiting for Zhang Ning's reaction, she approached and inserted the wooden hairpin in Zhang Ning's ponytail.
Just at that moment, she said, "Be careful of Zhong Liyuan."
Baili Sihan's voice was so soft that Zhang Ning almost thought he was hallucinating.
"Okay." Baili Sihan returned to her usual appearance, she took a step back, opened the distance between the two of them, and said, "The imperial concubine summoned me, I have to go to the palace quickly."
"Young master Weisheng, take care."
Zhang Ning was always at a loss. He watched Baili Sihan being picked up by the carriage, and then looked at the busy craftsmen in the jewelry shop.
Zhang Ning said, "Did I hear you right? She just said..."
Zhang Ning was a little uncertain: "Let me be careful about Zhong Liyuan?"
The system also heard: "You heard that right."
"Why did you tell me to be careful about Zhong Liyuan..." Zhang Ning was puzzled, but more importantly, why did the heroine suddenly say that she would never come to the jewelry store again?
Zhang Ning said: "Do you think you have earned enough money and want to change your life goals?"
The system did not find any changes in the plot line: "I don't know."
Zhang Ning went to the craftsman and found that Baili Sihan did leave dozens of drawings, whether it was bracelets, earrings, or hairpin necklaces, they were all very fine.
Moreover, the brush and ink on the top few pictures are still a little wet, obviously they were painted not long ago.
As soon as Zhang Ning returned to the General's Mansion, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.
In the past, the servants of the General's Mansion did not dare to speak loudly, but it was by no means as dull as it is today. Everyone seemed to be silent like a cicada.
As usual, Zhang Ning went to the study first, but saw Zhong Liyuan's personal bodyguard, Meng Wei, guarding the door.
Zhong Liyuan's legs were disabled and he was unable to move around. Usually, there were few times when he would not be served by others. Zhang Ning was very puzzled, so he walked over and asked, "What's this?"
Meng Wei whispered, "The general is angry inside."
Zhang Ning frowned and said in surprise, "Angry?"
In the study, there was the sound of the teacup breaking, as if it was being slammed on the ground.
Zhang Ning was taken aback, he had the impression that Zhong Liyuan was indifferent, how could he be so angry today?
Meng Wei asked again in a low voice: "Young Master Weisheng, where did you go today?"
Zhang Ning replied: "I just went outside for a stroll." Could it be that Zhong Liyuan was angry that he didn't study in the general's mansion and went outside to play?
The door of the study was opened, and a Feilongwei wearing a black official uniform came out with a pale face. He looked at Meng Wei and Zhang Ning, and then walked away in disgrace.
"Who's still out there?"
Zhong Liyuan's voice was slightly hoarse, a little gloomy.
Meng Wei hurriedly answered outside: "It's the young master Weisheng."
Zhong Liyuan said: "Come in."
Meng Wei signaled Zhang Ning to push the door.
Zhang Ning had lingering fears about the teacup just now, remembering the rumor that Zhong Liyuan killed the guards around him, and whispered: "Brother Meng, who did the general call in?"
Meng Wei said firmly, "Of course it's the young master."
Zhang Ning said: "Why do I feel like I'm calling you..."
"Microbiology," said the person in the study, "come in."
Meng Wei sighed, and pushed Zhang Ning's shoulder: "Young Master Weisheng, go in quickly."
Brother, why are you sighing at this time!Zhang Ning only felt that what he said was "get on the road".
Zhang Ning tremblingly opened the door and walked in.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the study room was divided into two halves by the light. One half was illuminated by the golden afterglow like afternoon, and the other half was completely in the shadow.
Zhong Liyuan was sitting in this shadow.He was leaning on a wheelchair, wearing a loose robe, and his thick black hair was loose. When he looked up, there seemed to be a moment of gloom.
He said heavily: "Come here."
Why are everyone so weird today?
"..." Zhang Ning was taken aback by his face, and dared not pass.
"What did you read today?"
But when he got closer, Zhong Liyuan spoke softly again, no different from usual.
Zhang Ning recalled it for a while, and whispered: ""Yu Fengchu"."
"En." Zhong Liyuan nodded, and he suddenly asked: "Staying in the General's Mansion all day, isn't it too boring?"
Zhang Ning shook his head and replied, "It's not boring."
"Not boring," Zhong Liyuan said slowly, "Then why do you still go out of the house every day?"
He sat on the wooden wheelchair and raised his hand slightly. Zhang Ning lowered his head subconsciously, but Zhong Liyuan suddenly raised his hand and took off the wooden hairpin from his head.
Holding the wooden hairpin, Zhong Liyuan seemed to be sizing it up carefully, and said, "I also bought a hairpin."
And the next second, the wooden hairpin broke in his hands!
Zhang Ning's eyes widened, looking at Zhong Liyuan's bloody hand: "General!"
"Who sent you?"
Regardless of the wooden thorns piercing his palm, Zhong Liyuan tightly grasped the broken wooden hairpin, blood was flowing, he asked Zhang Ning, "Who put it on for you!"
Zhang Ning was stunned, but seeing that Zhang Ning didn't answer, Zhong Liyuan suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, and asked softly, "Who is it?"
The two got very close, Zhong Liyuan's nose was almost touching Zhang Ning's face.
And Zhang Ning stared at his thick black eyes, as if being sucked in, and lost his voice for a moment.
"General!"
There was a knock on the door of the study, and Meng Wei shouted from outside: "Young Master Weisheng, please see me!"
Zhong Liyuan turned his head and said coldly: "No see."
Then, Zhang Ning heard Wei Shengbai's voice outside the door: "General Zhongli, I'm here to take Ah Shu home."
Wei Shengbai continued through the door: "Recently there is a big celebration in the residence of Duke Hu Guo, and General Zhongli is also invited to show us his respect."
In the study, Zhong Liyuan heard these words, stared at Zhang Ning's face silently, and asked, "Do you want to go back?"
Zhang Ning was holding his chin, and said with difficulty: "I..."
"That's all." Zhong Liyuan let go of him again, and seemed to be weary as he lowered his eyes, "You can go."
Zhang Ning: "..." Who is this?
But before leaving, Zhong Liyuan held him back and wiped the blood stained on Zhang Ning's face with his own sleeve.
At the end, Zhong Liyuan touched Zhang Ning's hair with another clean hand: "Go back."
When Zhang Ning closed the study door, he paused for a moment. Looking into Zhong Liyuan's eyes, he saw Zhong Liyuan move his fingers slightly, as if he wanted to make a gesture of waving his hands, as if he was urging him to leave.
Zhang Ning had no choice but to close the study door.
In the carriage, Wei Shengbai didn't say a word, he seemed to be thinking about something, Zhang Ning called him twice before recovering: "Huh? What's wrong?"
"Brother, you are absent-minded today," Zhang Ning said, "What's the matter?"
Weisheng paused for a moment, then said, "No."
He asked again: "You haven't caused trouble for General Zhongli these few days, have you? How does the general treat you?"
Zhang Ning replied: "Very good." Except for today's words.
"By the way," Zhang Ning remembered what Wei Shengbai had said at the door of the study, and said, "Brother, what did you say just now that our family is going to be happy?"
Wei Shengbai was silent for a moment, then said again: "I'm getting married."
"Getting married?" This is a happy event, but Wei Shengbai doesn't seem to be happy at all.
Zhang Ning recalled the words of the matchmaker ordered by parents in ancient times, and thought that Wei Shengbai had probably never met the other party, and asked, "Which family's daughter is going to be my sister-in-law?"
"The daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Rites," Wei Shengbai said, "it's because of General Zhongli—"
He stopped suddenly, and then slowly reached out to touch Zhang Ning's neck.
Zhang Ning didn't understand why, and then looked at the blood on his fingers.
Zhang Ning: "..." Didn't wipe it clean? !
Wei Shengbai frowned: "A Shu, what's going on?"
Zhang Ning couldn't think of how to explain it for a while. If he said it was someone else's blood, how would he explain how it got to such a tricky spot on his neck?
It was just a little bit of blood.
Fortunately, Wei Shengbai didn't ask any more questions after seeing that there were no wounds on Zhang Ning's body, but his face was gloomy: "Don't go out with Helan Shizi and the others these few days, and stay at home obediently."
Zhang Ning didn't understand what this had to do with He Lanyi and the others, but at this moment he could only nod and agree: "Okay."
For the next period of time, Duke Huguo's mansion was busy preparing for Wei Shengbai's wedding.Zhang Ning didn't go out for a few days, relying on the system to broadcast the heroine's situation and plot line every day.
And just today, the system suddenly said: "The heroine's relationship line has progressed!"
"It turned out that he only wanted me to study hard so that I could explain to my father," Zhang Ning cried bitterly, "I was overthinking it."
The system was a little relieved: "You understand."
Zhang Ning burst into tears: "But traditional Chinese characters are too difficult! Wow——"
