Husband, absolutely do not let Mr. Shen know that our Ning family has such a disgraceful son."Ning's father spoke in a low voice: "You don't have to tell me, I already know."He hurriedly told the serv...Ning Shu went to Yongyaotang to look for Xue Shizi.

Although Qing Zhu was reluctant to part with the , when she thought of the young master, she couldn't help but shiver. She hurriedly closed the box and prepared to have it sent to Nan Wang Fu.

"I've thought about this, so let's just do it. If we weren't putting on a show for outsiders, ten heads wouldn't be enough to keep us safe."

Ning Shu thought for a moment, then said, "It's fine that we do these things together. If it weren't for showing face in front of outsiders, ten heads wouldn't be enough to fall off!"

But I don't feel like the prince's attitude toward me is lacking any sincerity or effort.

Qingzhu glanced at the young master and could only turn around and leave first.

Qīngzhú received a scolding and could only reply, "Understood, Master."

Ning Shu could only say to Qing Zhu, "I've said a few things with the young master. Let's just go back home first, don't worry."

Those phoenix eyes instantly locked onto him.

It's all because of Qingzhu's strange words. Now Ning Shu couldn't help but think of Xue Ce, feeling a weird sensation in his heart.

Just as I put it down, I turned around and saw a face so beautiful, like an immortal.

Seeing his son's expression, Ning's father thought that he hadn't grasped the true feelings for the prince. It seemed he hadn't even realized the depth of his affections. Relieved, I spoke: "From now on... let us distance ourselves from that Prince Xue."

Ning Shu wasn't the only legitimate son. He had always been sickly since childhood. Despite knowing that the Crown Prince had no real interest in him, Ning's father still couldn't resist the temptation of such a huge opportunity.

I wasn't dazed, it felt like punching a cotton ball, there was nothing I could do.

In the end, Lord Ning still took the Lingzhi. However, he didn't have someone bring it directly to Prince Nan's mansion. Instead, he sent some other things over. I know what I gave him was nothing compared to a thousand-year Lingzhi, but it must have been quite valuable.

Ning Shu pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll go with you." Qing Zhu immediately didn't seem nervous and said, "Master, I'll accompany you."

Ning Shu was at a loss: "What do you mean by that"

Ning Shu almost wanted to facepalm, it wasn't that I liked it, but rather... I just knew the Prince would send these things. My eyes widened, and I pursed my lips, hoping the Prince could understand my inner thoughts.

Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, the crown prince's thoughts are indeed difficult to guess. But I am quite at ease in my heart. If it were an ordinary person who received so many treasures, they would be overjoyed.

< Qingzhu was so scared that his face turned pale. >

After all, this isn't a millennium ginseng.

But Lord Ning was unaware that the Crown Prince did not accept me out of face. Considering the financial resources of the Nan Wangfu, he probably wouldn't have even looked at me in the first place.

Ning Shu wanted to get into the carriage, but she wasn't looking at the front curtain. It was lifted, and a hand reached out from inside. The fingers were long and bony, weak as they offered themselves before her. A youthful voice sounded: "Give me your hand."

These things, just taking out any one of them, are not something the Ning Mansion has spent a long time on. But Young Master Xue didn't just send it out of his box and give it to me, so Lady Ning thought about it and felt at ease.

Xue Ce, however, did not look at me with any warmth. His eyes were as cold as ice: "I speak to our master, what business is it of yours"

Even after getting into the carriage, Prince Xue didn't seem to want to take these treasures back.

The young man in black stood tall despite his tender age. Though not much taller than us, his handsome features were strikingly beautiful. With time, they would only become more striking, a testament to his undeniable charm and youthful allure.

Lord Ning called Ning Shu over and asked with a complicated expression: "Between us and Young Master, there's not much of anything, is there"

Ning Shu saw Xue Shizi's carriage and had it stop beside her. Xue Ce lifted the curtain and gazed at her with his eyes downcast: "Get in."

After Ning's father had just received the news, he was told that Nan Wangfu had sent over a thousand-year-old lingzhi mushroom. This thousand-year-old lingzhi, if not boiled into a soup to be consumed, would do great harm to the health of the eldest son in the family.

I felt a little strange inside: "Why is my father asking me this"

But Ning Shu didn't forget. In Dàshèng, men and women were married as young as ten or twelve years old, and by the age of twenty, they would already have several children.

The young bamboo shoots were peculiar in appearance, but I remembered that the young master was in good health and often stayed at home. Naturally, one would know that there weren't many male attendants in Dasheng's household yet, and no men had been married off yet.

It's a pity that Young Master Xue is cold as ice. Even though his face is exceptionally handsome, when he sees me, he will only feel the imposing aura emanating from me.

Ning Shu returned to the mansion with a hint of confusion.

Xue Ce stared at the person and said, "If you want to give it, just give it."

But I didn't expect that to be the end of it.

And Ning Shu also took it out.

Ning Shu let out a sigh: “...not the prince.”

Even Qingzhu said, "...Young Master, why is the Young Master treating us like this The Young Master should..."

Ning Shu just became even more bold and confidently accepted, not hesitating to breathe out: "Young Master, since you've gifted these things, I'll just accept them."

"Emerald...ice silk..."

I was taken aback. Could it be that the Crown Prince wasn't going to speak with me like this

This is not just any thousand-year-old Reishi mushroom, nor is it something easily found. Even a thousand-year-old Reishi mushroom is rare, let alone one that's ten thousand years old. I didn't expect the Imperial Palace to produce one, and now it seems the Southern Royal Manor hasn't either.

Because this feeling is so subtle.

He had been hiding like this for several days.

"My lord, would you be so kind as to spare a few words with me"

"I've never seen anything so beautiful before this shake."

“Your Highness, these gifts you bestow are all so precious. I'm truly at a loss for how to express my gratitude.”

I said nonchalantly, "These are not particularly valuable items. There's no need to make a fuss about them."

Ning Shu looked at the box of treasures before her, and for the moment, she had no solution. After thinking about it, she decided to confront the prince directly.

Ning Shugang knows this himself, let Qingzhu put everything away. We'd better take it back to Nan Wangfu.

Ning Shu nodded, unwillingly admitting it. I hesitated and said: "Your Highness's gift is too valuable, I...I can't accept..."

She quickly pursed her lips and struggled to say, "I'm sorry."

I never expected that ancient people would be even bolder than modern ones in their ideas. They actually guessed that the prince liked me.

.....

Ning Shu wasn't surprised by her father's question.

Xue Ce just spoke in a curt manner, only his eyes darkened slightly as he looked across at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu sat in the carriage. Qing Zhu suddenly had a stomachache halfway through the journey, and I lifted the curtain to see if Qing Zhu was back.

After a brief pause, he went on.

Ning Shu returned to the room, though she already knew why her father had done such a thing to her.

Being looked at like this, and the carriage was silent. Prince Xue didn't mean to speak, his face as beautiful as a fairy with no expression, but his eyes weren't pitch black.

Since the Crown Prince had already done so, Ning Shu could only nod in agreement.

The young man in black bent over slightly, blocking my way by the window. His phoenix eyes stared straight at me, filled with a dark and gloomy look. He leaned closer and asked, "Why are you hiding from me"

But it wasn't Xue Ce who looked at me for a long while, but after a moment, he said faintly, "If you just want to get this over with, then let's get straight to the point. If you don't want to talk further, then go back home from the clan estate and wait for me today after school."

Ning Shu raised her hand and let it go. She immediately felt a hand grasp hers, then tighten its grip. Her body leaned forward slightly, and she bumped into a solid and warm embrace.

Ning Shu felt awkward and wanted to get up. But she wasn't aware that the Crown Prince hadn't let go at all, he was still hugging her body.

Xue Ce didn't ask why, I just stared at Ning Shu for a while.

But it wasn't given to this person, but instead was taken by the prince and given to my eldest son.

It's not that the treasures weren't returned, it's just that the people from the Southern Palace didn't return the chest.

After school.

Leng Ruobing said coldly, "Do you like me Then what do we like I'm leaving."

The Southern Palace did not refuse and took those things.

But I do feel that the Crown Prince has something strange about him.

.....

Qingzhu was even more shocked, it wasn't a gift from the Crown Prince to his young master My face turned pale: "Young Master, what does the Crown Prince mean by this"

But it's embarrassing, isn't it I just happened to sit on the prince.

Lord Ning's expression was grave. The people from the Southern Royal Palace told me I had to take it back. This ganoderma lucidum is extremely bad for my eldest son's health. It wasn't willingly given by the Crown Prince, and they will use this to blackmail us in the future.

Although I know why Xue Ce wants to give me these things, I absolutely can't accept them.

I am not at ease, especially since I suspect that these things were sent to me by Prince Xue for some ulterior motive.

This is not something an ordinary family could take out, it's probably from the palace, even then, maybe no one would be able to take out so many treasures.

I bit my lip, not to mention that the young master was a bit younger than me. We weren't teenagers anymore.

Ning Shu's face paled in shock, and my cheeks flushed. I forced myself to say, "Qing Zhu, how can we do this My lord and I aren't men...how could we possibly have such a shocking and outlandish idea"

It's not that bad of a thing to think about.

According to what others say, the young master's hands are not stained with blood. He has no murderous aura around him, and when his phoenix eyes look at people, it's as if he's not holding a knife to our throats.

Xue Ce slightly turned his face, his throat seeming to roll up and down for a long time before he spoke in a low voice, "Just use it."

But it wasn't as if Xue Ce was giving me things for no reason. I knew there had to be some explanation.

It wasn't the second day that he went from the clan mansion.

Ning Shu fell silent. What should I do These things weren't valuable to the crown prince at all. So, what wouldn't be considered valuable

" "

Ning Shu was being stared at by me and immediately conceded, only then did she speak: "You know why the Prince had to send me those things"

Xue Ce seems to have guessed what I wanted to do: "Do you want to team up with me on that box thing"

Ning Shu only felt increasingly confused and lost. I pursed my lips, wanting to break up with Xue Ce. We had only been together for a short while, but we hadn't even met ten times in total.

I'm torn, on one hand I'm tempted to go out, but on the other hand, I'm scared of what might happen.was eating the sour food brought by a servant.But then I heard the Regent asking to see me outside.Now Helin Yu was becoming more and more bold, he even walked in without waiting for him to summon.Nin...
