Chapter 179 Keep your heart
"Why aren't you talking?" Lu Ji turned his head and asked her, "Are you sad?"

The little girl laughed: "The man I love the most has made a promise to me, why should I be sad?"

"Am I touched?" He returned to his playful tone.

The man snorted: "I don't see you're touched."

As he spoke, he murmured to himself, "Why are you so heartless?"

She simply said, "Maybe I'm still young. When I grow up a few years, I'll be able to be more scheming and cunning."

The man smiled and weighed the little guy on his back with his big hand: "Don't be in a hurry to grow up. Once you grow up, troubles will naturally come."

"I like you to be happy all the time."

"I'm happy. I'm always happy." The girl wrapped her slender arms around the man's neck and whispered in his ear, "As long as you still love me, Ning will be happy."

The man enjoyed the little woman's sweet words. He smiled with curved eyebrows and said to her from the bottom of his heart: "Knowing about these rotten things in the palace, it really opened my eyes."

He said, "A Ning, I have to thank you."

"You should thank the person who told you these things, not me."

Lu Ji sneered when he heard this: "If it weren't for Wang Fengyi, I really wouldn't know these things. Even my elder sister, who has been in the deep palace for so many years, might have been kept in the dark by Zhao Che. But if you hadn't reminded Wang Fengyi, I don't believe she would have told me these mysteries. These things are related to the lifeblood of the entire Langya Wang family. How could she easily tell others?"

She didn't need Lu Ji's gratitude, all she wanted was to lend him a helping hand.

She didn't want to argue with Wang Fengyi either. There was no need.

The little girl remained silent, but Lu Ji said, "To be honest with you, Ning, I find it really hard to accept this girl from the Wang family."

Only when facing the person he is closest to, that is, Qin Xiaoning, Lu Ji is willing to open up to her and show his vulnerable side in front of her.

"Even if I married this girl from the Wang family, I couldn't accept her. It would be unfair to her. I kept persuading her to break off the engagement, but she was even more stubborn than me."

"This woman really makes me feel helpless."

Lu Ji kept talking, but Qin Xiaoning never said a word.

She also disliked Wang Fengyi.

But she would not say it out loud. She knew clearly her identity and knew that she had no right to be as willful as Lu Ji in such matters.

Seeing that the little person on his back hadn't spoken a word, Lu Ji stopped complaining and asked her, "Why don't you speak?"

The little girl frowned slightly, and then said vaguely: "The peach blossom wine has a strong aftereffect. I am sleepy and can hardly open my eyes."

After saying that, she completely leaned on Lu Ji's back and fell asleep.

Lu Ji turned his eyes and glanced at her without saying anything. He waited for a while, listening to the girl's sweet and even breathing on his back. He turned his eyes again and saw that she seemed to be really asleep, so he muttered to himself, "I don't know if she is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid."

The man's voice was very soft, but the little girl lying on his back couldn't help but frown.

Although she drank, Qin Xiaoning did not sleep very well that night.

The next day, Lu Jitian left before dawn.

The suburbs of Beijing are quite far from the city, so he had to go to court half an hour earlier than if he lived in the mansion.

After Lu Ji left, Qin Xiaoning wanted to sleep for a while, but she couldn't fall asleep peacefully.

She was not happy. Although she had no intention of competing with Wang Fengyi, it was obvious that the woman had already started. Two women sharing one husband was inevitable, but it still happened earlier than she expected.

She originally thought that she would have to wait until she entered the door before facing these things.

For the first time, the little girl couldn't sleep well because of her worries. She finally made it until dawn. She got up, washed and had just finished her breakfast when the maid downstairs came up and said that Wang Fengyi invited her to the front yard to appreciate the flowers.

Qin Xiaoning’s first reaction was that she didn’t want to go.

I don't want to be perfunctory with her.

He simply replied to the maid and lied that he was not feeling well.

Hiding in the house, Qin Xiaoning practiced calligraphy for a whole morning. Looking at her handwriting which had reached a new level, her mood gradually improved.

The maid came in to deliver the fruit. When she saw the words written by Qin Xiaoning, she was surprised and asked, "Miss Qin can write?"

In the eyes of such an old woman, a concubine should be served with her beauty.

Seeing the old woman's thoughts, the little girl did not show any displeasure, but asked in a good-tempered manner: "Grandma, what do you think of my handwriting?"

The little girl was very beautiful and had a very gentle temperament. Although she was deeply loved in the Lu family, she did not have the slightest bit of arrogance or pride.

Although she had only been to this mountaintop villa a few times, the old woman had figured out the girl's temperament and liked her very much.

It's hard for anyone not to like a girl like this.

Seeing Qin Xiaoning asking, the old woman's face was as happy as a flower, and she said hurriedly: "Beautiful, beautiful, the young lady's handwriting is really beautiful."

Then, he grinned self-deprecatingly, "Miss, you are flattering me. I am an old woman who can't read a single word, yet you still ask me."

Qin Xiaoning smiled faintly and said frankly, "Although grandma can't read, it doesn't mean that you can't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness."

As he spoke, he glanced at the calligraphy he had just finished and murmured, "If this calligraphy is well written, it should be appreciated by both the refined and the popular."

The old woman was confused, but when she glanced at the serious and focused look on the little girl's face, she liked her even more.

"The girl's handwriting is indeed good, but her appearance is more eye-catching than the handwriting."

There is some flattering in these words, but I say it because I really like you in my heart.

Qin Xiaoning said modestly, "Grandma, you're too kind."

"I'm not talking nonsense. You are really beautiful, young lady." To show her sincerity, the old woman swore: "It's not that I'm an old woman who talks too much. There are not many young ladies in this mansion who come to this villa, and there is really no one who is more outstanding than Miss Qin."

The old woman didn't say it explicitly, but she was implicitly comparing Qin Xiaoning with the daughter of the Wang family.

They are all the prince's women, so it is inevitable that people will compare them.

Not surprising.

The old woman was speaking from her heart. Although the daughter of the Wang family was also beautiful, she was like a fairy in heaven. She always looked up and ignored those below. She was too aloof and arrogant. People only respected her but could not love her.

The little girl is different. She is beautiful, but also worldly-wise, amiable and good-tempered. Everyone who sees her wants to get close to her.

After hearing what the old woman said, Qin Xiaoning just smiled faintly but didn't respond.

This is just the beginning. In the future, she will have more and more entanglements with Wang Fengyi. Only by keeping her original intention can she avoid making herself sad.
