Chapter 373 You Should Be Her Second Brother

At the dinner table.

Xie Suzhi looked cold, and Xie Mingan did not look at Xie Yuanjiu, but just kept picking up food for Shen Ningning.

Except for Shen Ningning, everyone ate blandly.

Mrs. Xie Er was unable to attend due to illness.

Xie Yuanjiu sat quietly opposite, and Mr. Xie Er was beside her, sighing solemnly.

It was over.

"Brother, since Yuanjiu is back, I think we should let her stay for now."

Xie Yuanjiu's eyes were red, and she stood up on her own initiative.

She walked to Xie Suzhi's side, bowed and lowered her head.

"Uncle, I know that in the previous letter, you opposed me going home because you felt that I had not repented enough."

"But, in the past year, I have already reflected clearly. I didn't take good care of Ningning at the beginning. It was my fault."

"I am willing to apologize to Ningning now."

Xie Yuanjiu said, facing Shen Ningning, and lowered his head again.

"Ningning, I'm sorry."

Xie Suzhi's face was tense and he didn't speak.

Xie Mingan, on the other hand, raised his cold eyes, holding a spoon in his hand, feeding his sister with egg custard.

But looking at Xie Yuanjiu, his face was cold: "I remember that my father had sent you a letter a while ago, asking you not to rush back."

"Since you have forgotten his advice, it means that you have your own ideas in your mind. In this case, why pretend to be hypocritical?"

Xie Yuanjiu's eyes were reddened: "Second brother, I didn't..."

Xie Suzhi finally spoke: "It's good that you come back. In the future, I won't discipline you anymore."

"I just think that you really know your mistakes when you come back this time. Take advantage of this time to accompany your father well."

Seeing Xie Suzhi let go, Xie Yuanjiu was very happy in his heart.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Xie Yuanjiu turned and continued to look at Shen Ningning.

The little girl finished the whole bowl of egg custard.

Xie Mingan was asking her if she wanted to eat crystal shrimp.

"Ningning," Xie Yuanjiu didn't intend to let Shen Ningning off so easily: "I know I didn't do well at the beginning. I came back suddenly this time. I hope you don't mind."

"After all, I donated a lot of things and made a lot of efforts for this cold disaster. I already know I was wrong. After I come back, I will get along well with you."

Shen Ningning took a bite of shrimp and turned to look at her with big eyes.

The little guy seemed to have just noticed such a person.

She said softly: "If I say I mind, will you go back?"

Xie Yuanjiu's expression froze.

She shed tears and looked at Xie Erye helplessly.

"Dad, Ningning still doesn't seem to forgive me."

Xie Erye didn't say anything, just felt embarrassed.

Xie Yuanjiu did something wrong, and it was normal for Ningning to refuse to accept her.

Shen Ningning didn't want to make Xie Erye feel embarrassed.

The little guy laughed cutely and mischievously.

She snorted at Xie Yuanjiu: "Don't take it seriously, I'm just kidding."

However, Shen Ningning knew that no one had seen Xie Yuanjiu's malice more clearly than she did.

Xie Yuanjiu's bad intentions were hidden under the surface of peaceful disguise.

Just like the seemingly calm water waves, if you look inside, you will see a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to bite the person who comes.

Xie Yuanjiu can pretend, and Shen Ningning can also play tricks with her!

The little girl was disdainful before.

Now that they are going to meet often, she will not show weakness and underestimate the enemy.

The meal was eaten in a hurry.

Xie Yuanjiu took the initiative to leave.

Mr. Xie followed Xie Suzhi to the study room. Maybe Xie Suzhi had a few words to tell him.

Xie Mingan held Shen Ningning's little hand.

The brother and sister walked under the wind and rain corridor. The heat of the summer night gradually became cooler with the breeze under the moon.

Shen Ningning was trying hard to break free from Xie Mingan's palm.

Unexpectedly, her two chubby fingers squeezed out, and Xie Mingan clenched the remaining fingers.

She was angry, and soon, her round and white face was pink, and her white forehead was soaked with sweat.

"It's so hot, I don't want to hold hands!" The little guy said dissatisfiedly.

Xie Mingan raised his eyebrows: "Look at Xie Yuanjiu, she keeps calling the second brother, and you, my dear sister, don't even want to let the second brother hold your hand."

Shen Ningning paused, immediately shook her hand, and directly broke free from his palm.

The little guy put his hands on his waist, with a smart expression: "You can hold her hand, you can be her second brother, anyway, I have a brother!"

Xie Mingan's face turned cold: "You!"

Shen Ningning ran away, leaving a string of naughty laughter.

The next day.

Shen Ningning went to the palace to find Mo Lingwei.

Originally just wanted to talk to him to relieve boredom.

But unexpectedly, Mo Lingwei was busy all the time.

Shen Ningning had been sitting in the imperial study for two hours.

When she first arrived, a group of ministers came to report important government affairs.

Mo Lingwei had no choice but to ask her to sit next to him and wait for a while.

However, the ministers came to see him one after another.

Shen Ningning had already drunk three pots of tea.

After finally waiting for Mo Lingwei to take a breath, the little guy asked curiously: "Brother, where is the emperor uncle?"

Mo Lingwei drank two cups of cold tea to suppress the fatigue and heat.

He said: "Father has been ill recently, so all government affairs are on me."

Then, Mo Lingwei lowered his cold eyes and bent down to look at Shen Ningning.

"I'm sorry this time. I was going to take you to Qingliang Pavilion to watch the fish, but there are four ministers waiting outside to report, so I can't accompany you."

Shen Ningning took the initiative to jump off the chair.

"It doesn't matter," her voice was soft and soft: "Brother, you are busy, but you must also pay attention to your health! Don't be exhausted."

Mo Lingwei wanted to see her off, but as soon as he reached the door, he was blocked by the ministers.

Shen Ningning turned around and waved her little hand towards him.

Tell him with your eyes——

[Go, go, go, national affairs are important]

After that, Shen Ningning walked down the white jade steps and happened to see a group of patrolling Forbidden Army approaching.

She was about to get on the sedan and leave, but she didn't expect that the leader of the imperial army took the initiative to say hello to her.

"For my humble position, please see Princess Funing."

Shen Ningning looked sideways and saw Pei Yin, wearing thin armor, standing not far away and offering his hands to her.

It took her a while to remember his name.

"Hello Captain Pei." Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes, waiting for Pei Yin's next words.

Did he specifically call her to stop, just to say hello?

Unexpectedly, Pei Yin also pursed his lips and looked at her in silence.

There seemed to be crows flying across the sky.

It seems that I really just wanted to say hello, what a polite captain!

No wonder Xiaowei has a crush on him.

Shen Ningning smiled brightly: "I'll go back first, Captain Pei, you guys are busy."

With that said, the little guy waved his hands and said goodbye, and was carried out of the palace on a sedan chair.

After she left, Pei Yin felt that he had not performed well.

I originally wanted to say hello and remind her to take care of her health.

But as soon as he spoke, he forgot.

"They" have been communicating occasionally recently, but Pei Yin feels more and more that Shen Ningning should be a shy and reserved person in private.

Just now he saw her smiling so brightly that it actually made Pei Yin feel strange.

That night.

After Qi Xiuwei had dinner, she learned that her grandmother had ordered her father to find a way to bring her into the palace in a few days, so she locked herself in the room.

Cried loudly.

Mrs. Qi heard that the Li family had returned to Beijing and that Mr. Li's daughter Li Yuyi was likely to become the crown prince's maid.

Therefore, she gave ruthless orders regardless of whether Qi Xiuwei's illness was still recovering.

at this time.

Meng Yi came as usual and brought a letter.

She wiped away her tears and opened it. Sure enough, it was written for her by Pei Yin.

Qi Xiuwei showed a happy smile on her face.

However, the first sentence of the letter made her expression change.

Pei Yin said——

[There have been two or three outbreaks of plague in the palace recently. 】
