After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 445: Ning is here to snatch him

It's early spring, and although the sun is bright, it's a bit cold.

Lu Ji came out of Prince Xian's mansion and went straight back to the Duke's mansion. He still had a lot of official business to deal with, but at the moment, his heart was a little confused and he couldn't wait to see Qin Xiaoning.

He rode his horse back to the mansion. When he was still some distance away from the gate, Lu Ji dismounted from the horse and threw the reins casually. Without waiting for the servant to catch it, he had already strode into the gate.

He went straight to Qingsong Garden, and the first thing he asked the maid was, "Is the princess here?"

"The princess is inside." The maid pointed to the outer room and said, "Madam Gu is here, and the princess is talking to her."

Hearing that Zhang was there, Lu Ji did not go in, but he did not leave either. He lifted his robe and sat down on a chair in the hall.

This house has three entrances and exits. The innermost one is the bedroom, the middle one is where the host meets guests, commonly known as the outer room, and the outermost one, which is directly connected to the back porch and the main door of the hall, is the main room. The host seldom stays here.

When the maid saw Lu Ji sitting down, she knew that he was waiting for the princess on purpose, and asked with great tact, "Do you want me to go in and tell the princess?"

There was only a wall between the hall and the outer room. The door to the outer room was open, and the intermittent sounds of conversation inside could be heard.

Zhang's tone was fierce, and from time to time, she would sob in grievance, while Qi Xiaoning's words were gentle and soft, as if he was comforting Zhang.

The contrast between the two is obvious, making his little princess look even more gentle and lovely.

"No need to disturb the princess." Faced with the maid's suggestion, Lu Ji decisively refused.

The maid then tactfully brought some fragrant tea, and Lu Ji sat there, drinking tea while waiting for her princess.

On the way back, he was feeling very nervous and confused, but at that moment, when he heard the little woman's voice, his heart calmed down.

She was his, always.

The years were peaceful and there was no need for him to create trouble for himself.

Listening to the intermittent voice of the little woman talking inside, Lu Ji leaned back in his chair, sipped the fragrant tea carefully, and gradually relaxed.

It was not until I finished my cup of tea that I heard Zhang say goodbye.

"I'm sorry to have bothered you all afternoon. I have to go now."

"I'm not busy today, sister-in-law, please don't be so formal. You just came to the capital, and you are unhappy about knowing that I am someone you know well, so you come to find me. Although I can't help you solve the problem, it's better for you to talk to me than to keep it in your heart."

These are what Qin Xiaoning said.

I heard Zhang started crying again: "Princess, you are such a good person. No wonder the princess must have you. You are so considerate. I feel much better after being comforted by you."

Then I heard her say, "I just can't accept it. Why should the family I worked so hard to build be peeped at by that bitch Sun? She is now pregnant with the Marquis's child, and the doctor has confirmed that it is a boy. Her heart has become wild, and she wishes she could replace me."

This woman is jealous of Sun again.

Lu Ji snorted in his heart: It’s only because his Ah Ning has a good temper that she can listen to her endless complaints. If it were someone else, they would have been annoyed with her long ago.

"I have advised you so much, why are you still digging your head? Marquis Gu is not that confused. You are my wife and she is my concubine. There is a difference in status. Even if she gave birth to a son, it will not affect my sister-in-law. You keep making trouble like this, and it will make Marquis Gu annoyed."

Qin Xiaoning persuaded her, and Zhang said, "I just can't swallow this anger. You don't know how much our Marquis values ​​her. He doesn't treat her as a concubine, he treats her as his wife."

"So what?" Facing Zhang's annoying complaints, the little woman still had good patience: "There's nothing wrong with the girl from the Sun family. When they met when Gu Hou was young, she should have been the legal wife, but she became a concubine. She was also wronged. In comparison, she is even more wronged than you, sister-in-law. Sister-in-law can control Gu Hou's people, but she can't control his heart, right? So, I advise you not to worry about it yourself." "A Ning." Zhang really treated Qin Xiaoning as a close person. She couldn't help but call her by her maiden name, and her tone was helpless: "What do you think I should do? I really can't stand him thinking about that Sun all the time. I want to kill her. Really, A Ning, every time I see her with the Marquis, I want to kill her with a knife. I want to strangle her to death. A Ning, do you think I'm crazy? I've never hated someone so much. I hate him so much that I can't eat or sleep. I just want to kill her."

"If my sister-in-law kills Sun, will Marquis Gu still tolerate you?"

With just one sentence, Zhang, who had been asking questions non-stop, finally shut up. Then, only her soft crying could be heard.

"If you really can't stand it, you can divorce me."

These are the words of Qin Xiaoning, still in that gentle tone, speaking in a nonchalant manner.

If a man makes her unhappy, she will think about leaving.

This is the little woman's usual style.

After hearing this, Lu Ji's heart suddenly tightened.

He smacked his lips, then put down the teacup in his hand with a "click".

"Heli?"

Zhang was surprised and asked, "How can this be possible?"

"What future does a woman have after divorce?" she said in a panicked tone.

"Why is there no way out?" The little woman's voice was still calm: "Sister-in-law is a noble lady. If your family can understand you, you can go back to Qianzhou and let your father find a good man for you. The Great Zhou is different from the previous dynasty. There are precedents of women remarrying. Even if your family can't tolerate you, you have a lot of property. At worst, you can live on your own and be relaxed and comfortable."

After she said this, Zhang could no longer speak. After a long while, she finally heard Zhang stammering, "You make it sound easy, but it's not that easy. If I divorce, what will happen to my son? Even if my parents can tolerate me, what good man would marry a second wife?"

"If you don't divorce, won't you still be unhappy? Although divorce is difficult, it's better than suffering like this, or even impulsively killing someone."

"If you really kill Sun Mengli, I'm afraid Marquis Gu will divorce you. Wouldn't that be even more miserable?"

"A Ning..." Zhang was heard to say timidly: "I was just talking. I wanted to kill you, but I don't have the courage."

"It's good that you still have your sanity. No matter what, you can't kill anyone."

The little woman's tone was still gentle, but Lu Ji, who was listening outside, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He just killed two people.

"But I really feel bad, Ning. I feel like they are driving me crazy."

Zhang started crying again. Lu Ji was not a patient person to begin with, and now he really wanted to go in and push this nagging woman out of the house.

"Either you divorce, or if you can't bear to let go, you have to let it go. There is no other way."

The little woman still spoke in a calm tone.

It's really hard for her, how can she be so patient? No wonder everyone likes her. Everyone in the mansion likes to be close to her. Even a noble lady from another country wants to recognize her as her daughter. And the virtuous prince and his wife
Thinking of this, Lu Ji couldn't help but sigh again.

The virtuous prince and his wife are here to snatch his An Ning.

This bothered him most.
