The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 144 Ning Que's Feelings

Mrs. Xue also heard about the recent turmoil in the capital.

Xu Qi grabbed the armrest of the chair in fear and said in a trembling voice: "Almost... I was almost beheaded!"

Gui's face turned pale: "What beheading? If things go wrong, they will have to search the house."

Xu Qi nodded in response, and said repeatedly: "Our good niece is still reliable..."

Gui also nodded.

Mrs. Xue was a little absent-minded.

She knew more than just that people who sold official positions and titles were arrested and killed. She also heard about one thing...It was said that the governor of Bianzhou was ill, very ill, and had not seen outsiders for many days. Even the emperor sent people to visit him.

Why did he suddenly fall ill?

This matter should have nothing to do with Mrs. Xue.

But Mrs. Xue couldn't help wondering if it was because Ning Que stood up when confronting the Princess of Wei that day.

So the Xu family was dissatisfied and poisoned him...

All kinds of speculations emerged in Mrs. Xue's mind.

If that's the case, then it has something to do with them after all.

Send someone to check? At least ask?

No, that's not right.

The involvement is already confusing enough.

What Xue Chengdong thinks is secondary.

What the Prince of Wei and the Prince of Xuan think is very important.

Madam Xue sighed and thought that she could only pretend that nothing had happened...

Xu Qi heard her sigh and said in surprise: "Isn't it a disaster? Why is my sister still sighing?"

Xu Qi was nervous: "Is there any danger that I don't know?"

Madam Xue glanced at him and said: "You don't understand."

The voice fell.

The servant outside whispered, "Auntie, there is an invitation for you."

Mrs. Xue was not surprised at all, and said lightly, "I guess she saw Qingyin was pregnant and deliberately sent an invitation to show her courtesy."

Xu Qi suddenly realized, "I was saying that these days, those people have been so enthusiastic towards me... It turns out that it is because of my niece!"

Xu Qi immediately said, "I have to prepare some generous gifts to send to Prince Xuan's Mansion, hehe..."

Mrs. Xue turned around and scolded, "I don't care how others curry favor with you, if they dare to use Qingyin's name..."

Xu Qi hurriedly said, "I don't care! I don't care! Qingyin told me a long time ago that if I offended anyone, she would at most burn a stick of incense for me."

Xu Qi smiled embarrassedly as he said this.

Mrs. Xue also smiled unhappily, and then stretched out her hand, "Let me see the invitation."

The servant responded and handed it over respectfully, thinking in his heart that the aunt was becoming more and more noble!

Madam Xue unfolded the invitation, but it was not signed by Madam Li or Madam Wang.

"Invite you to taste Wuxi purple crabs at Ruyue Tower.

Respectfully presented by Qingjing"

Madam Xue was stunned.

Qingjing...

It was the Taoist name that Ning Que told her when she didn't know Ning Que's identity.

This name should only be known by the two of them.

Madam Xue closed the invitation and asked, "Who is the one who delivered the letter?"

"It's a man dressed like a Taoist boy." The servant replied.

Madam Xue felt angry and amused, and muttered, "I really don't know where they found a Taoist boy?"

It's not just his old long-term attendant?

"What did the lady say?" The servant was puzzled.

"Nothing, go down." Madam Xue waved her hand.

She didn't know whether she should go or not.

If Qingyin was here, she could ask her...

At this time, Xu Qi found that Madam Xue's expression became strange again.

"Sister, what are you still worried about? Qingyin is a capable person..." Xu Qi just said this.

Madam Xue stood up and walked out.

Isn't it just to go to Ruyue Tower?

Go!

Why be so unclear and muddled? You should make it clear!

She has always been straightforward, and now that life is getting better, why is she hesitant?

Xu Qi was dumbfounded and turned to ask his wife Gui: "What did I say wrong?"

Gui also shook her head blankly.

The two not very smart people could only look at each other in silence.

But thinking that she was going to meet another man, it was not a good idea after all... Madam Xue thought about it and walked out of the small door.

There were not many people walking here on weekdays.

The servants hurriedly followed and opened the door for her.

As soon as the door was opened, a person was seen standing outside, wearing a bamboo hat and a green shirt, and his figure was extremely thin, like a green bamboo standing there.

When he saw Madam Xue, he lifted his bamboo hat.

Revealing a slightly haggard and pale face underneath.

"Mr. Ning." Madam Xue said in shock, "Didn't you...didn't you write in the post that we would meet at Ruyue Tower? Why are you..."

After Madam Xue finished speaking, she realized that there were still so many servants following her, which was really inappropriate. Without thinking, she stepped out of the door and closed the small door with her backhand.

The servants locked in the door: "?"

Ning Que looked at her and said, "I can't wait."

Madam Xue took a half step back and looked away. For a moment, she felt shocked and embarrassed. She really didn't know what to say.

Ning Que didn't seem to need her to reply, and followed up with: "I went to the manor first and found that Madam was not there."

Previously, Ning Que didn't know Madam Xue's identity. He only knew that she had a married bun, so he just called her "Madam".

There was nothing wrong with this.

After all, if you don't know her surname, you usually call her like this.

But now that both sides knew their identities, Mrs. Xue felt a little weird when they called her this way.

It's like...like the title between husband and wife.

Mrs. Xue pursed her lips and said, "Qingyin is pregnant. I have to stay in the city to take care of her at all times. I will probably not go to Zhuangzi again in a short time."

With the "talisman" in Xue Qingyin's belly, Mr. Xue did not dare to come to make trouble.

Naturally, there is no need to hide anymore.

Naxiang Ning nodded: "I guess that's the case, so I wrote a post and ordered someone to be sent to Xu's house to look for you. Then after thinking about it, I felt it was inappropriate. Why should Madam accept my invitation?"

"If you want to invite someone, you should be sincere and come to the door in person, so I followed. I also guessed that Madam might go through the small door, so I waited here."

"Mr. Ning's divination skills are really great." Mrs. Xue sighed.

Ning Que said, "I'm not good at divination, I'm just good at understanding Madam's thoughts."

Mrs. Xue turned her face away and whispered: "What Mr. Ning means... I don't understand."

Ning Que said: "My wife asked me that day, have I always been so loving? I told my wife that what I studied was not Mozi, but Confucianism."

Mrs. Xue turned her head, curiosity written on her face.

"Confucianism advocates that there are degrees of love, and people have degrees of closeness and distance."

Mrs. Xue was stunned.

This time, he was probably really afraid that Mrs.

"That day when the Lin family met for the first time, I was so shocked that I couldn't forget it. But I knew that the wife had a husband, so I had to keep it secret. After that, when we met in the suburbs, I thought that the wife's husband had died early, so I left the wife as a widow in Zhuangzi. superior……"

Ning Que smiled bitterly: "Now I realize it was a misunderstanding."

"I have thought about it, and since it has already ended like this, I shouldn't mention my feelings to the madam anymore, as it will cause trouble for the madam.

"But I have read many books, and they only talk about the pain of lovesickness, but there is no way to explain it.

"I think there may be more than one way for people to walk. I always want to see Madam. If Madam nods, there will be rocks blocking the way, so what's the harm?"

Mrs. Xue was stunned.

She looked at Ning Que.

After a long while, he only managed to say one sentence: "Are you really sick?"

Ning Que smiled bitterly again: "I'm sick."

After a serious illness, I thought about the friendship between teachers and friends, the intolerance of the world, the incomprehensible antagonism between Prince Xuan's Palace and Prince Wei's Palace... I thought about all kinds of things.

But he came anyway.

Mrs. Xue sighed softly: "I don't know how to answer you."

Ning Que's expression darkened.

Seeing this, Mrs.

When Ning Que heard this, the light in his eyes lit up again.

He got it!

You have to please Mrs. Xue’s daughter first!

Ning Que bowed and said, "Thank you, madam."

At this time, the Xue family is the main family.

Xue Chengdong came back rarely, so everyone sat together.

Mr. Xue asked: "Is Xu Zhi going to make peace with you?"

Xue Chengdong's expression changed slightly: "How does father know?"

Mr. Xue's face suddenly became ugly: "Xu Zhi sent a letter to the house,...it seems that she has made up her mind. Now that Qingyin is pregnant, it is impossible to blame them mother and daughter. If I had known what would happen today , or use it as a sharp knife to cut through the mess.”

Xue Chengdong's mind became much clearer and he said: "Qingyin will protect her mother-in-law at any time."

"It doesn't matter if she protects her, she is a junior after all..."

Xue Chengdong looked strange and said, "Father doesn't know her current temperament and methods."

"Then write her a "Letter to Release Your Wife". Instead of scaring her, you really take yourself seriously. In the future, when Qingyin's child is born, won't she become even more aggressive and manipulate you whenever she wants? Are you kidding me?" The elder sister-in-law sneered.

Xue Chengdong pressed his forehead: "Do you think this can scare her?"

"It's natural, I'm not telling you. Apart from the Xue family, where can the Xu family find better in-laws? There is only one concubine in your house, and she died long ago. Looking at the capital, who is like you? How do you treat her? It’s not thin anymore…”

Xue Chengdong interrupted expressionlessly: "Really? Then do you know what will happen to her if I really write the letter of letting go of my wife?"

"She will turn around and marry Ning Que, the governor of Bianzhou."

"...?"

After a long while, the Xue family recovered from the shock and squeezed out a sentence from their throats: "How is this possible?"

"Why does a governor want a married woman like her?"

"Impossible, impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
