The corners of Si Tingye's lips lifted slightly. He waved his hand and disappeared from Ning Ruqiu's sight.
"Miss, let's go back to Yiting Residence first.”Zixi followed and looked at Ning Ruqiu.
Ning Ruqiu nodded." Remember to send someone to bring Xiao Tao back."”
"Yes." Zixi bowed respectfully and looked at Ning Ruqiu, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"What's wrong?" Ning Ruqiu looked at Zixi strangely.
"Miss!" Zi Xi knelt down abruptly and looked at Ning Ruqiu with tears streaming down her face.
Ning Ruqiu frowned." If you have something to say, just say it. I don't like people who cry easily.”
"Yes, sir!" Hearing this, Zixi hurriedly wiped her tears, but her voice was still choked with sobs." Miss, Zixi is useless. I've caused you trouble and even caused you to come and save me. I'm sorry, sob sob..."
Ning Ruqiu was speechless." So it's for this."”
Zixi wiped away her tears and could not help but cry again." Miss, Zixi has no way to repay your kindness. Since I was young, you were the only one who treated me so well. In order to save a servant like me, you even broke into the Ning Mansion..."
Ning Ruqiu sighed helplessly and helped Zixi up.""Alright, it's my duty to save you since you're working for me. Let's go back. Remember, in my eyes, you and Xiao Tao are not servants.”
"Yes!" Zixi nodded her head vigorously and secretly swore that from now on, she would go through fire and water for the young miss. She did not expect that her oath would come true not long after!
Ning Ruqiu brought Zixi back to the Yi Ting Residence. Everything in the Yi Ting Residence was the same as before. A few servant girls and manservants stood respectfully in the courtyard to welcome Ning Ruqiu. Ning Ruqiu nodded lightly and motioned for everyone to go do their own things before turning around and entering his own room.
Unexpectedly, just as she sat on the soft couch and her butt had not warmed up, a joyous voice suddenly rang out." Haha, Third sister-in-law, you're back! This time, you can't escape!"
Upon hearing this, three black lines appeared on Ning Ruqiu's forehead and she said helplessly,""Sixth Prince, are you so free every day?”
Si Hengqing pursed his lips and once again went to Ning Ruqiu's side with a cheeky smile.""That's right. I'm so busy every day!”
Ning Ruqiu's mouth twitched." I didn't see it."”
Si Hengqing giggled." However, no matter how busy I am, it can't be compared to the fact that Third Sister-in-law is back. So, when I heard that you had returned to Prince Ye's mansion, I immediately put down my work and rushed over. No one saw you first. How is it, Third Sister-in-law? Aren't you touched?”
Ning Ruqiu was speechless." Sixth Prince, I just realized that you're a joker."”
"What's a joker?"
"It's you!" As Ning Ruqiu spoke, she swiped at Si Hengqing's face a few times." It's exactly your image.”
Si Hengqing was speechless.
"Alright, is there anything else? If there's nothing else, leave quickly. Don't disturb my rest.”Ning Ruqiu waved at Si Hengqing and lay down sideways.
Upon hearing this, Si Hengqing immediately jumped up." Third sister-in-law, you can't be so ungrateful. After all, I've helped you and Third Brother a few times. How can you treat me like this?”
Ning Ruqiu got up and stared at Si Hengqing for a while. Si Hengqing felt his scalp tingle and was about to slip out of the door when he said,""Alright, since you did help me, I'll tell you a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
Si Hengqing hesitated for a moment." Bad news.”
"Oh." Ning Ruqiu nodded and smiled brightly at Si Hengqing." The bad news is…you're going to die!”
Si Hengqing was once again speechless. He looked at Ning Ruqiu with eyes full of resentment.
Ning Ruqiu looked at Si Hengqing seriously." Don't you believe me. Let me ask you, do you occasionally have a sharp pain in your head late at night, but it doesn't take long for it to recover automatically?”
Si Hengqing looked at Ning Ruqiu in surprise." Yes, Third Sister-in-law, but I've never told anyone about it. How did you know?"”
Ning Ruqiu smiled mysteriously and said,""I also know that you had this symptom three years ago. Recently, it has become more frequent.”
Upon hearing this, Si Hengqing panicked. He looked at Ning Ruqiu with a bitter expression." Third sister-in-law, am I really going to die?"”
Ning Ruqiu nodded matter-of-factly." That's right. You're terminally ill. It's already not easy for you to live until now.”
"How did this happen? " I'm still so young…" Si Hengqing muttered, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Puchi!" Ning Ruqiu almost laughed out loud. Afraid that Si Hengqing would notice, she hurriedly restrained her emotions and patted Si Hengqing's shoulder in a sorrowful manner."Alright, young man, don't cry. There's still a piece of good news that I haven't told you yet!”
"What good news? Tell me." Si Hengqing said listlessly.
" Oh, the good news is…" Ning Ruqiu deliberately paused. Seeing that Si Hengqing still looked like he was about to die, she couldn't help but drag her voice out."It's just that…I can cure your illness!”
" What?!" Upon hearing this, Si Hengqing seemed to have regained his senses. He did not care about the differences between men and women and suddenly grabbed Ning Ruqiu's shoulder." You said you can cure it? Really?"
Ning Ruqiu held back her laughter and said seriously,""Of course, even I can cure the emperor of such a deep poison, let alone a mere head disease like yours!”
"En en!" Si Hengqing nodded his head vigorously and said solemnly,""Third sister-in-law, I believe you!"
This time, it was Ning Ruqiu's turn to feel embarrassed. Actually, Si Hengqing's condition was far from that serious. It was just that ordinary doctors would not be able to diagnose his hidden illness.
"Well, actually…"
"Alright, Third Sister-in-law, you don't have to say anything more. Hengqing will remember your great kindness in his heart and will definitely repay you generously in the future!”Si Hengqing said solemnly.
"No, that, Sixth Prince…"
"Third sister-in-law, you can call me sixth brother in the future. Third sister-in-law, I'll go out first.”Si Hengqing once again interrupted Ning Ruqiu and walked out.
Ning Ruqiu helplessly looked at Si Hengqing who was walking away and shook her head.
The next day, Ning Ruqiu came to the front hall for breakfast. Si Hengqing was actually there too. Ning Ruqiu laughed and gestured for Xiao Tao to take out a few packets of medicinal herbs to pass to Si Hengqing."Sixth brother, you have to take this medicine three times a day, once in the morning, once in the evening. After taking it for half a month, your headache will be cured.”
"Yes." Si Hengqing nodded lightly, his expression a little awkward. He took the medicinal herbs from Xiao Tao's hands and handed them to the servant behind him. He did not say anything.
Ning Ruqiu felt a little strange. Her long and narrow eyes swept around and only then did she notice that besides Si Tingye and Si Hengqing, there were three other women at the dining table. They were Wang Qinxin, Liu Anruo, and Ye Xiao, the three secondary consorts.
When Wang Qinxin and the other two saw Ning Ruqiu's gaze sweep over, they immediately stood up and bowed, saying respectfully,""Chenqie greets the princess consort, the princess consort is blessed!”
Ning Ruqiu nodded lightly. She didn't have a good impression of Wang Qinxin and the other two. They were just three fence-sitters.
Ye Xiao took the lead and walked over, pulling Ning Ruqiu's hand and said,""Congratulations wangfei, congratulations wangfei. Sister wangfei suffered a lot before, but now the clouds have finally opened and the moon has appeared!”
" That's right." Liu Anruo also came over and said along with Ye Xiao,""Princess jiejie is obviously a blessed person. Otherwise, how could she have obtained wangye's favor? Haha, right?”
"Our wangfei is a national beauty and is extremely beautiful. It is normal for her to be favored by his highness. Sister wangfei, in the past, this younger sister didn't take good care of you.”Wang Qinxin looked at Ning Ruqiu with a smile.
Ning Ruqiu frowned without batting an eyelid." You're flattering me, sisters." Then, she glanced at Si Tingye and Si Hengqing and said,""The medicine has already been delivered, bengong will leave first.”
Ning Ruqiu had no interest in having dinner with Si Tingye's other women. It wasn't that she was jealous because she cared about Si Tingye, but as a modern person, she felt strange when she saw Si Tingye's many wives. In addition to those three women, Ning Ruqiu also felt that it was noisy. Therefore, Ning Ruqiu decisively chose to leave. Before anyone could react, he strode out of the front hall.
Si Hengqing looked at Ning Ruqiu's back and then at Si Tingye. Si Tingye was expressionless, so no one could tell what he was thinking. After a while, Si Tingye suddenly said to Wang Qinxin and the other two,""You guys can leave first."
Wang Qinxin and the other two looked at each other. Ye Xiao tried calling Si Tingye," Your Highness…"
"Alright, don't make me repeat myself. Get down!”
"Yes, yes, yes! ChenQie will take her leave!" When they heard the coldness in Si Tingye's words, Wang Qinxin and the other two immediately turned pale and left in a hurry.
The large front hall suddenly became empty. Si Hengqing looked at Si Tingye, picked up his chopsticks, and took a bite of food."Mm, not bad. Third brother's food is still delicious.”
Si Tingye looked at Si Hengqing expressionlessly, then stood up and said,""If it's delicious, then you can eat slowly by yourself.”
"Hey!" Seeing that Si Tingye was about to leave, Si Hengqing hurriedly pulled him back and said anxiously,""Third brother, wait a moment, I have a question!”
Si Tingye's face was still stern." Speak.”
Si Hengqing swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped his mouth before saying,"Third Brother, isn't Third Sister-in-law back already? Why is she still so indifferent to you? How did you bring Third sister-in-law back?”
Upon hearing this, Si Tingye fell silent for a moment before sitting down and starting to eat. After a long time, he said,""Actually, your third sister-in-law agreed to come back because I promised her that I wouldn't interfere with her life after she came back. She can do whatever she wants.”
"Ah?" Si Hengqing's mouth gaped open." No way, then wouldn't you two be husband and wife in name, and not…not…" Si Hengqing swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to continue.
Si Tingye looked at Si Hengqing and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up." Sixth Brother, what kind of person do you think Third Brother is?”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 28PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
