doctor wife three marriages

Chapter 158 158. One Condition (Part Two)

It was originally a banquet for the envoys of the Yan Kingdom to clean up the dust, but in the end Su Liang became the focus.

And it was caused by the interference of Mu Ya, the envoy of Yan Kingdom.

Someone had already been ordered by the emperor to invite Ning Jing into the palace, and the food and wine were served on the table.

All are appearances.

Duanmu Cheng's marriage proposal failed, his complexion returned to normal, but the eyes that occasionally fell on Su Liang were somewhat gloomy.

Duanmuchen tasted the food seriously, with a faint smile on his mouth all the time, and was not affected by the failure of his marriage proposal.

Duanmu Che's face, which had been cold since Su Liang said that she and Ning Jing were engaged, never regained any warmth.

Lin Qian, who was sitting with him, drank silently.

The two were very close, but there seemed to be a gap suddenly opened between the close cousins.

Mu Ya has already stepped out of the haze of failure in today's martial arts competition, and her hearty laughter keeps ringing. When talking about the climate of Yan Kingdom with Duanmu Yi, she can laugh very sincerely.

Many people didn't care to look at the beautiful luthier, and their eyes fell on Su Liang from time to time.

But Su Liang is very calm, not just on the surface.

If she had any uneasiness at the moment, it was because of Ning Jing's friend Nian Jincheng, not herself.

Xing Yusheng asked Su Liang in a low voice, "When peace comes, you may be asked to avoid it."

"I know." Su Liang nodded, "It's okay."

She and Ning Jing have lived together for so long, and there is still some tacit understanding.She believes in peace.

Even if she really revealed her secrets and got the crime of deceiving the emperor, she would definitely not be able to marry any prince, because what she originally came to Beijing was not seeking a future, but revenge for the Su family.

Participating in martial arts is just a means, not an end.

Therefore, she can afford any consequences.At worst, it might be better to abandon this identity and the fame gained through hard work, and investigate secretly.

Xing Yusheng sighed softly.He is well aware of the power of imperial power.

Among the princes who expressed their interest in Su Liang today, Duanmu Sheng was interested in Su Liang's status as the champion of martial arts, Duanmu Chen seemed to join in the fun, Duanmu Ao obviously had a grudge against Su Liang, only Duanmu Che seemed to be genuinely moved.

It also happens that Duanmu Che is Duanmu Yi's most beloved son...

Tranquility came sooner than expected.

The old eunuch next to Duanmuyi appeared behind Su Liang like a ghost, and invited her to sit in the side hall.

"Okay, my father-in-law please lead the way." Su Liang got up and followed.

All eyes were on the palace gate.

A young father-in-law led Ning Jing in and told Duanmu Yi that Ning Ning was outside the palace, waiting to take Su Liang home.

Ning Jing was dressed in a plain long gown, with a face like a crown of jade, clear eyes, and a tall and straight figure, like a banished immortal.

After saluting, Duanmu Yi asked, "I heard that you and Su Liang, the number one scholar in martial arts today, are sworn brothers and sisters?"

"Yes." Ning Jing nodded slightly.

Duanmu Yi smiled, "Is it just siblings?"

Ning Jing was stunned for a moment, and the hearts of some people present were raised.

I heard him say, "Actually, we are an unmarried couple, but we are not married yet, so we are called brother and sister."

Xing Yusheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Duanmu Che's eyes dimmed, and he tightly clenched the teacup in his hand.

Lin Qian lowered his head halfway, laughing at himself.

Muya's eyes flickered, and she seemed to be smiling but not smiling.Her goal has been achieved.

"Do you have a token to prove it?" Duanmu Yi asked.

Ning Jing nodded slightly, "Yes."

After saying that, he raised his left hand and pulled down his sleeve a little, revealing a string of fragrant wood beads on his wrist.Not too delicate, each bead has a different shape, there are small stars, small crescents, small balls, small squares...

"This is a token from Su Liang. She made it with her own hands. She also wears the bracelet I gave, which I made with my own hands. The two bracelets come from the same piece of fragrant wood." Ning Jinggong said in a respectful voice.

Xing Yusheng: ...That's it, are they not a couple?

The old eunuch stood at the entrance of the side hall, nodded to Duanmu Yi, and said that he had confirmed that Su Liang had a fragrant wood bracelet of the same material on his hand.

In fact, Ning Jing and Su Liang are paired not only with this, but also with the wooden hairpin presented by Nian Jincheng.

But neither of them wore them.

Fortunately, I didn't wear it. If I wear it today, it will be more troublesome.

Because Mu Ya had seen the wooden hairpin bought by Nian Jincheng before, so she could recognize it at a glance.

And Nian Jincheng can't have unknown friends, otherwise, that friend will definitely be suspected to be Gu Ling.

"When do you plan to get married?" Duanmu Yi's smile faded.

Ning Jing said, "She passed the test at the end of last year. We all had to go to Beijing to catch up on the exam, so we couldn't take care of it for a while. The original plan was to wait until the end of the imperial exam and choose an auspicious day in the second half of the year to go back to Xunyang City to get married."

Duanmu Yi laughed, "A man with a talent and a woman with a good looks, both literary and military, they are a good match."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ning Jing said respectfully.

Duanmu Che's heart sank, but Lin Qian raised his head, watched Su Liang come back from the side hall, and exchanged a glance with Ning Jing.

Lin Qian let out a long sigh of relief, and the unwillingness in his heart dissipated.But there is still deep disappointment, not for Su Liang, but for Duanmu Che beside him.

Duanmuyi bestowed a seat for Ning Jing, and as a family member of the champion of martial arts, he sat beside Su Liang.

Su Liang took out a yellow tribute orange from the medicine box, peeled it clean and handed it to Ping Ping.

Ning Jing took it naturally and put it in his mouth.

Xing Yusheng felt that his eyes were going to be blind, should he be so affectionate?Bullying his wife for not coming?
From the beginning to the end, Ning Jing and Su Liang didn't say a single word, but anyone could see that it was Lang's concubine's intentions. The faint affection and tacit understanding made the two of them a world of their own.

The marriage turmoil ended like this.

Many people thought that Duanmu Yi would take advantage of the opportunity to marry Ning Ping and Su Liang, but he didn't.

Muya didn't provoke any more troubles after Ping An came.

By the time the palace banquet ended, it was already very late.

Xing Ji and Xing Yusheng walked in front side by side, and Xing Yusheng looked back at the two people behind him from time to time.

Su Liang holds a citrus in her hand, and occasionally sniffs it, she likes the smell.

Ning Jing was carrying the medicine box and walked beside Su Liang. The two of them were not close, but the hems of their clothes occasionally bumped into each other.

"I thought you were gone." Su Liang said.

Ning Jing nodded, "I went to the restaurant for dinner." Then she came back and waited for Su Liang.

Su Liang didn't think too much about it, because Ning Jing had actually been protecting her all along, she knew it, and she had already talked about it.

Ning Jing said that as long as Su Liang was with him, he would be responsible for Su Liang's safety.

Because the last transaction between the two was that Su Liang worked for peace.

Lin Qian pushed Duanmuche's wheelchair and walked behind, he could see the backs of Su Liang and Ningping from a distance.

"Cousin, I'm going home tonight." Lin Qian put away his previously enthusiastic tone, and spoke much colder.

Duanmuche naturally knew why, he frowned and said, "I said that I was just trying to rescue Su Liang and prevent her from marrying the prince as a side concubine, do you believe me?"

Lin Qian shook his head, "I don't believe it. Compared with you, Duanmu Chen seems to be trying to save Su Liang."

"Did you say that if you want to pursue her, I can't have any thoughts about her?" Duanmuche asked coldly.

Lin Qian sighed softly, "Of course I can, very capable. But I suddenly discovered that you are a person without principles. Because you have a prejudice against her, everything she does is wrong. Because you are tempted, you feel that she has nothing to do. Okay, there are no doubts anymore? Cousin, I thought you were overly cautious at first, and there is nothing wrong with being born in the royal family. Now I realize that you are conceited and arrogant."

Duanmu Che's face darkened, "I didn't. Don't you want me to abandon my prejudice against her? Why are you not satisfied with my change?"

Lin Qian shook his head, "We're not talking about the same thing. Why did you change it? Is it because you believed that she couldn't be a secret agent? Or was it because you were amazed by her charming figure on the competition stage and fell in love with her?"

"The result is the same, so why worry about the reason?" Duanmu Che asked back.

"You are really more lenient than self-discipline and stricter with others." Lin Qian snorted lightly, "Where is the energy to insist on your own opinion without evidence at the beginning? Su Liang is really strong, shouldn't you be more suspicious of her? Did someone train secretly? Now it doesn’t matter if she is a secret, but you want her? Then, it doesn’t matter whether she was a secret at the beginning. You hate her and don’t want to see her. It’s more important, right? "

"You!" Duanmuche looked annoyed, "Are you going to turn against me because of a woman?"

While speaking, he had already reached the gate of the palace.

Uncle Huang and the carriage were waiting not far away. Lin Qian pushed Duanmu Che over with a bewildered expression, "When my grandfather passed away, he left a last word and asked me to take care of you. I will spend at least three months in the capital every year to accompany you , Another three months to find a famous doctor for you. Su Liang was angry with you, but I invited her back and begged her to heal you. I treat you like my own brother, what do you think of me? You are in the palace When you said those words, have you ever thought about my mood?"

"Cousin, the incident happened suddenly today. I was also impulsive at the time. I hope you can forgive me." Duanmu Che frowned.

Lin Qian didn't answer, he carried Duanmuche from the wheelchair into the carriage, but he didn't get on it himself, and said calmly, "Actually, I know that you have the ability to protect yourself, it's not as weak as it appears on the surface, it's just that I had wishful thinking. You need a relative. Tonight I saw that your father loves you very much. The Lin family has fallen, and I have no big ambitions. I can't help you. It's time to go home and be with my parents. Take care."

Uncle Huang was stunned, and when he came to his senses, Lin Qian had already walked away.

"Master, this..." Uncle Huang wanted to chase after him, but he saw Duanmu Che's face was gloomy.

"Everyone has his own ambition, so don't force it." Duanmu Che said coldly, "Let's go."

Passing by a carriage, seeing Su Liang standing beside him, Uncle Huang took the initiative to greet her, "Miss Su!"

Su Liang heard the sound, but ignored it.

Uncle Huang was puzzled and asked Duanmu Che what was wrong.

"It's nothing, I was cheated by that woman." Duanmuche snorted coldly.

……

The carriage left near the palace and arrived at a secluded place. Su Liang sat in the seat closest to the door and spoke to Ning Jing in a low voice.

Naturally, it was about Nian Jincheng.

As for the engagement of the two tonight and the tokens of love, no one mentioned it again.

Ning Jing's face remained unchanged, "Look for Yan Shiba to rescue him."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Yes, why did I forget her. She came here a few days ago and disappeared after that, she should still be in the capital. Go to Huguo Temple tomorrow, I suspect she is harassing Cheng cloud."

After entering the house, Su Liang jumped out of the car, and heard Ning Jing say, "If you really want to get married next time, and I will help you solve the trouble again, you have to promise me one condition."

Su Liang sighed slightly, "Okay. If the Great God has any conditions, just mention them. I'll think about it. If it doesn't work, I'll run away."

Ning Jing tied up the horse, shook his head, "I didn't think about it, you write me an IOU. When I think about it, I'll ask you to cash it."
