Chapter 470: Disappearance
"Is that so?" Xia Zihan pondered.
Si Cao came over, put the thick cushions that Chu Xing flew back to get on the two wooden stools, and asked Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi to sit down.
Chu Cong took a total of two cotton mats and put them on Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan. Neither Xia Zihan nor Chu Jingqi asked to give in to Zeng Ning. Xia Zihan was unwilling, but Chu Jingqi was completely unwilling. Zeng Ning ignored it.
Not only ignored, but also angry.
He finally kidnapped Ayu to his house to talk to him and live in a world of two. Is this easy?
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin popped up halfway and disturbed their happiness. It was really annoying.
Not to mention giving her the mat, Du wanted to throw her into the lake and wipe out her body.
After the two sat down, Zeng Ning seemed a little embarrassed and redundant standing there, but Zeng Ning seemed not to feel it at all and sat down on the left side of Chu Jingqi. He smiled elegantly and said to Xia Zihan, "I thought I was going to sit here alone, but now it's better. My cousin and Prince Chu are here, and I'm not bored anymore."
"Aqi came to see me off. She was worried that I would have no company on the road and it would be boring to walk alone. Now that cousin Ning is here, Aqi..." She looked at Chu Jingqi, "You should go back first. You have to get up early tomorrow." It’s better to go to the palace and rest early. I’ll have breakfast with you tomorrow morning.”
Although he was unwilling to do so, it was inconvenient for Chu Jingqi to stay at the house of an outsider, a girl who had no eyesight and could not drive away. He stood up, stared at Xia Zihan with concern, and said, "In the evening It’s windy and cold, so don’t sit there for too long.”
"Well, sit down for a while and then go back." She didn't like to stay with Zeng Ning for a long time.
Chu Jingqi left, staring at his back. Zeng Ning's eyes were full of loss and sadness, and she really wanted to call him back, even if he stayed a little longer, it would make her look at him up close a few more times.
Seeing Zeng Ning staring at Chu Jingqi with too hot eyes, a trace of displeasure flashed deep in Xia Zihan's eyes. She stood up and looked at Zeng Ning with cold eyes, "Cousin Ning, I still have something to do. , I won’t sit with you anymore, just rest slowly and go back when you have rested enough.”
Then, he left without looking back.
Si Cao hurriedly picked up two silk cushions and followed.
She walked so fast that Zeng Ning didn't even come back to her senses. She was gone. When Zeng Ning came back to her senses, her face turned pale.
Damn it, her cousin must have noticed that she was in love with Prince Chu, so she deliberately tricked her into sending Prince Chu away, and then left herself, without even caring about the face-saving relationship between the cousins.
Zeng Ning was panicking. She stood up hurriedly and wanted to chase her cousin so she could explain. But as soon as she left the Luoye Pavilion, she stopped.
Why should she go to her cousin to explain?
How was she going to explain it?
Do you want to tell your cousin that she doesn't like Prince Chu?
However, this is obviously a fact. She did fall in love with Prince Chu, although... although this is a bit sorry for her cousin, but which man does not marry three wives and four concubines, surrounded by beautiful women?
She didn't intend to take over her cousin's position as the legitimate wife. With the little power of the Zeng family, even if she worked hard to pull her cousin down, she might not be the one who came up. Even if she and Prince Chu really became a good thing, The Chu family would only give her the status of a concubine, and it was impossible to give her the status of a legitimate wife.
By then, she might have offended her cousin and aunt, and made a wedding dress for someone else.
In the past few days, Zeng Ning had thought through all this and decided that all she wanted to do in her life was to stay with Master Chu, take good care of him, serve him, and give birth to children for him, even if she Her daughter will be a concubine and a concubine in the future, and she is happy with it.
Although she would be sorry for her cousin by doing this, but with Crown Prince Chu's identity and appearance, it is conceivable that there will be many women around him in the future. One more will not be more than her, and one less will not be more.
What's more, she is still her cousin's cousin, and she is closer to her than other girls. From now on, when she is around Prince Chu, she will also help her cousin and subdue other women. She will also help her cousin to keep Prince Chu in check. Heart...ask her cousin to forgive her...
She didn't want to marry another man, she just wanted to marry Prince Chu.
Zeng Ning took one last look at the direction Xia Zihan was leaving, then lifted up her skirt and ran in the opposite direction with confidence.
……
Chu Jingqi was holding back his anger. After walking out of the sight of Xia Zihan and others, he suddenly turned around and took another road, heading towards the yard where Xia Zihan lived.
"Young master, prince, oh, you are going the wrong way. You must not be confused now. If you are confused again and come here randomly, I am afraid that the door of Chu's house will not be opened to you. Mrs. Chu's place, Watch closely.”
Shengdi hurriedly ran behind his buttocks, urging him while running, he was tired.
Chu Jingqi stopped, glared at Shengdi fiercely, then stood under a tree and looked deeply into the yard where Xia Zihan lived.
Not far away, you can see the old woman in the yard, busy walking around, seeming to be heating hot water.
Are you really going to prepare Ayu’s bath water?
"Your Majesty, it's going to be cold, let's go to the front yard quickly." Shengchi advised with a trembling heart.
If you don't go, Mrs. Chu will send someone to come and have a look, and you will be punished.
After standing for half a tea, Chu Jingqi saw Xia Zihan entering the yard and returning to the house, and then Chu Jingqi slowly walked away step by step.
When he was still about ten meters away from the Chuihua Gate, suddenly, a figure rushed out from behind a nearby tree. The man rushed directly towards him and shouted, "Ah, help, there is a snake..."
If it had been another man, he would have subconsciously spread his hands to greet the frightened little woman who pounced on him with pear blossoms and rain.
But who Chu Jingqi is, Chu Jingqi's indifferent temperament, except for his own family, the life or death of others is none of his business.
Even if someone falls at his feet, he will walk around that person and will never bend down to help him. Therefore, the person who rushes out is unlucky.
This person is none other than Zeng Ning, who tried every means to become Chu Jingqi's concubine.
Zeng Ning came to chase Chu Jingqi, intending to use Xia Zihan's name to trick him into going to an abandoned yard, and then... accomplish something good.
Although her beauty is not as good as Xia Zihan's, her figure is well developed. She should be as thin as a willow, as big as a steamed bun, and as tall as Mount Tai. She takes off her clothes and is very attractive.
Therefore, she was extremely confident that Chu Jingqi would definitely be tempted after seeing it.
As long as he has his heart set on her, she will not be able to escape her status as a concubine.
Maybe she could enter the Chu family a few years earlier than Xia Zihan, and these few years would be enough for her to win Chu Jingqi's heart and give him the eldest son.
Zeng Ning's calculations were ringing in her mind, but the reality was...she chased her to the Chuihua Gate, but she didn't even see Chu Jingqi's shadow.
Intentionally or unintentionally, she asked the mother-in-law guarding the door from the side. The mother-in-law said that Prince Chu had not left.
Zeng Ning was happy when he heard this.
She decided to change her strategy, found a century-old tree, and quietly hid behind it, waiting for Prince Chu to appear.
Sure enough, not long after waiting, Chu Jingqi came this way.
Seeing Chu Jingqi getting closer and closer, that monster-like face looked even more enchanting and graceful under the light, Zeng Ning's excited heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his heart, and his fingers were trembling.
When Chu Jingqi approached the big tree, Zeng Ning rushed out and threw herself into his arms.
Zeng Ning originally thought that if she threw herself into his arms, she would be hugged by her sweetheart. Unexpectedly, just when she was about to touch him, the figure flashed and he disappeared.
She threw herself into the air, but because she threw herself too hard, she couldn't stop for a moment and threw herself to the ground.
The whole face hit the ground first. Zeng Ning screamed and covered his cheek, screaming ouch ouch.
The sharp pain on her face made her realize that she was disfigured and her face was scratched by the bluestone on the ground.
She was frightened and cried loudly. She reached out to Chu Jingqi and begged him to save her.
At this time, he still wants to plot against Chu Jingqi.
Chu Jingqi did not reach out to pull her up. He and Shengdi took a few steps back, staying far away from Zeng Ning.
Chu Jingqi looked at the frightened gatekeeper at the hanging flower door about ten meters away and said, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you take her to see the old lady?"
The old woman came to her senses, ran over in a hurry, picked up Zeng Ning who couldn't stop crying, and ran to Zeng's yard.
Chu Jingqi thought for a while and did not follow him. However, she ordered her to follow her, "Tell the old lady that this person cannot stay in Chu Residence."
The woman who dared to scheme against him in Chu Residence must not stay in Chu Residence any longer.
This time, she didn't plan on him, and even cheated on him. If she didn't steal the chicken, she would lose a handful of rice. Maybe, she would burn this fire on his Ayu.
This is a curse, and he will never let her stay with Ayu.
……
Mrs. Zeng was not playing leaf cards, and was chatting with Mother Su at the end of the kang. Qingya and several other maids were also sitting at the end of the kang, doing needlework. While the master and servant were talking happily, there was a burst of urgent footsteps outside.
"Old madam, old madam, it's not good, Miss Ningbiao is injured..."
Following the footsteps came shouts and Zeng Ning's cries.
When Mrs. Zeng heard this, her face changed drastically and she quickly moved to get off the kang.
Qingya's maids were clever and nimble with their hands and feet. Without Zeng's instructions, they quickly put down their work, put on their shoes and got off the ground.
Qingya was waiting for Mrs. Zeng to put on her shoes, while the other maids were busy clearing away the fire bed and getting their cloaks...
Before Mrs. Zeng could go out, the mother-in-law rushed in with Zeng Ning in her arms.
"Quick, put it on the kang." Zeng said.
"Auntie, please help me, my face hurts so much, wuwu... I don't want to be disfigured, aunt, please... wuwu..."
When Zeng Ning heard Zeng's voice, she cried even louder. She cried and begged at the same time, which made Zeng feel very distressed.
