Chapter 525 "Getting Married"? !

On the wind and rain corridor of the Qi family, two figures walked one after the other.

They kept a very polite distance.

Neither Pei Yin nor Qi Xiuwei spoke first.

The cold wind brought the fragrance of red plums, floating between the two.

The smell was fresh and distant.

Pei Yin hesitated for a moment, looking at the figure of Qi Xiuwei in front of him.

He still couldn't help but explain: "Your Highness's headache is fake, he is trying to help me make peace, I don't want to lie to you."

Qi Xiuwei didn't look back, and didn't speak for the time being.

After a while, her calm and gentle voice came from the front with the fragrance of plums.

"I know, I can see it."

If Your Highness really had a headache, why would he keep his eyes glued to Ningning?

He also repeatedly observed her expression, as if he was afraid that she would see and get angry.

Pei Yin was stunned: "I'm sorry... I was wrong about what happened before, and I don't necessarily ask for your forgiveness, but I want to apologize in person."

Qi Xiuwei finally stopped.

She was born with a delicate and dignified appearance. At this moment, her demeanor naturally exuded an easygoing manner, but with a sense of alienation.

"Master Pei, do you know why I like you?"

Pei Yin shook his head.

Qi Xiuwei smiled and looked into the distance.

"It's okay to tell you. When I was young, my grandmother forced me to enter the palace to attend the birthday banquet of Concubine Li. Concubine Li was a difficult person to get along with and arrogant."

"But she liked to watch people play the piano. At that time, my aunt Concubine Qi was not favored. In order to make the Qi family invincible, my grandmother asked me to take the initiative to sing at Concubine Li's banquet."

"I refused to do anything, so I was beaten and scolded by my grandmother at home. She slapped me in the face, and it was very clever, just at the earlobe and neck, so that even my mother didn't notice it."

"In the end, I was brought into the palace crying and met many people I knew, but only you... only you asked me if I was injured and gave me a bottle of ointment that was almost used up."

Pei Yin was silent.

He didn't know what Qi Xiuwei said.

As a guard, it was his duty to patrol the palace.

Maybe Qi Xiuwei's behavior was too strange at that time, which attracted his attention.

But no matter what the reason was, he couldn't remember it clearly.

Over the years, he helped many people with just a little effort.

Qi Xiuwei could guess it, so she pursed her lips and smiled.

"At that time, my father was busy with court affairs and was often away from home. My mother was gentle and weak and couldn't protect me, and my grandmother was strong and forced."

"I often feel that my life is bleak and I have never accepted the kindness of others. You are the first stranger who makes me feel warm."

At this point, she lowered her head: "So, can you imagine how I feel when you misunderstand and distrust me again and again?"

"I know, when you first found out that the person you were communicating with was not Ningning, but me, did you feel disappointed for a moment?"

Pei Yin answered quickly this time: "No."

Qi Xiuwei smiled, as if she didn't care what the answer was.

She has cultivated a strong heart to protect herself.

"You want to explain to me, you want to say sorry to me in person, but it's not what you really think. You just feel guilty about me, right?"

Pei Yin did not deny it, his eyes were complicated.

"I did something wrong, I should apologize."

"But you do this to make you feel better. If I don't accept it, you will keep thinking about it. Isn't it for yourself?"

Pei Yin was shocked.

Qi Xiuwei looked at the sky again, her tone was as light as those thin clouds.

"I don't forgive you, but myself who was hurt by you in the past."

"Master Pei, don't worry, I won't blame you."

"I know that the fate between people is fixed, we are not destined, but I still thank you for giving me a comforting inquiry when I needed care the most."

After she finished speaking, she bowed and turned away.

Pei Yin stood there, looking at her back, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Mo Lingwei was almost done "resting", so Shen Ningning planned to leave with him.

When the two walked to the door, they didn't see Pei Yin.

The prince's personal guard told Mo Lingwei: "Lord Pei left half an incense stick ago, and asked me to tell His Highness that he would thank His Highness and the princess for their help, and that he had figured it out."

Shen Ningning blinked her round eyes and looked back.

Qi Xiuwei was holding Madam Qi, smiling and waving at the door.

Did she figure it out so quickly?

Or did Xiaowei say something that made both of them let it go.

Shen Ningning didn't know, and didn't ask about it later.

On the way back in the carriage, the girl held her chin and sighed repeatedly.

Mo Lingwei sneered: "Didn't you say you would respect Qi Xiuwei? Why do you still feel sorry for her?"

"I feel sorry for her. No wonder the storybooks say that men are so heartless. Pei Yin and her have been communicating with each other for so many years. They should have been good friends who could talk about anything. But after something happened, he still didn't believe Xiaowei. How sad she must be."

"You can't blame Pei Yin for this. If you hadn't told me your plan in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen that Qi Xiuwei was a fake betrayal."

Shen Ningning stood up suddenly, looking at him angrily with her dark eyes.

"If one day, I am like Xiaowei and don't want a brother anymore, what will you do?"

"I don't agree." Mo Lingwei answered without thinking, even his sword eyebrows frowned.

"It's useless for you to disagree. What if there is a secret that is hard to tell, and it is not convenient to say it at that time, so you can only leave?"

Mo Lingwei really thought about it seriously.

After a while, he said: "I won't be like Pei Yin. If you make a mistake, I will accompany you to the end."

Shen Ningning was stunned and laughed: "How ridiculous!"

"There is nothing ridiculous. Life is not satisfactory. As long as you are happy, I will accompany you." Mo Lingwei said it very seriously, without any intention of joking.

Instead, Shen Ningning was stunned.

For some reason, every time she saw Mo Lingwei's thin eyes, looking at her intently, she would blush.

The girl shyly withdrew her gaze and coughed twice.

"I'm joking, brother, don't take it to heart."

Mo Lingwei smiled instead, with a faint doting in his eyes.

"No matter what happens, you must tell me, don't hide it."

"Then you too!"

"Okay, I promise you." Mo Lingwei said, lifted the curtain and saw that they were at the jewelry store.

He stopped the carriage and pulled Shen Ningning down.

"Why are you buying me something again?" The girl was helpless.

Mo Lingwei narrowed his eyes: "Didn't Prime Minister Xie say that Feng Qiwu earrings are not suitable? I will buy you suitable ones."

Let's see if he has any reason to refuse Shen Ningning to wear the things he gave.

Arrived at the store.

Mo Lingwei went straight to the most expensive shelf.

The earrings on it were bright and elegant.

The prince waved his hand: "Take them all."

Shen Ningning's eyes widened: "No! This is too much. I can't wear a pair every day for a month."

"Besides, how much money does it cost? Before, the emperor uncle said that my brother's East Palace was extravagant and wasteful, and he reduced your expenses by half. Have you forgotten?"

Mo Lingwei was touched.

Is she saving money for him?

So, his tone became a little gentler.

"I have plenty of money, he doesn't know, buy it with confidence, I am willing to give it."

As the two of them were pushing and shoving at the door, the shop assistant came over quickly.

"Oh! The two distinguished guests seem to be in love, are you buying jewelry for weddings or birthday gifts?"

Shen Ningning's face suddenly turned red like a ripe cherry.

She widened her eyes.

Most of the people in the capital have seen her, is this assistant new?

Mo Lingwei smiled, and his first words were shocking.

"For marriage."

When he said this, Xu Jingxi happened to come in and heard it.
