My wife is sick

Chapter 339 Eavesdropping
It took a while for Ning Xu to recover from his contemplation.

He already hated the domineering magistrate of Fu'an, not to mention the death of his late wife in the middle, how could he have a private meeting with the magistrate of Fu'an?
Because of this, Ning Xu forgot the address of the house mentioned by the county lord of Fu'an after hearing it, and didn't take it to heart at all.

but……

Just when Ning Xu turned around and was about to go back to the room to rest, he heard a soft sound from outside the door, and then a low cry of pain. It was clear that someone was lying on the door and eavesdropping!
The courtyard where Ning Xu lives has two gates, one opens to the inner house, and the other opens to the wall of the outer courtyard, so you can go directly to the outer courtyard without going through the two gates.

The one that heard the sound just now was opening the door on the wall of the outer courtyard.

The yard where Ning Xu and his wife live has always been rarely visited by anyone. Who will be eavesdropping at this moment?

Ning Xu frowned and came to the door, and suddenly opened the door, but he didn't see who the eavesdropper was, only saw the hem of a red shirt who left in a hurry.

red?

Although it was just a hasty glance, it was enough for Ning Xu to recognize that it was his younger brother Ning Hui's clothes.

Ning Hui is not only a dude, but also very flamboyant. Whether he is in the mansion or going out, he likes brightly colored clothes, and red and pink are common.

Probably due to the influence of Mrs. Runan Hou, Ning Hui has always dismissed Ning Xu as a concubine, and usually never took a step closer to Ning Xu's yard, but now he not only came, but also stood by the door eavesdrop?

Is it because of the Lord Fu'an County?

Ning Xu felt that he should have guessed right.

I just don't know if Ning Hui heard what the Lord Fu'an said just now.

but……

Ning Xu turned his head and put the matter aside.

Whether it's Fu'an County Lord or Ning Hui, as long as they don't bother him, he doesn't care.

*
Just as Ning Xu guessed, the one who eavesdropped outside his yard was indeed Ning Hui, the son of Marquis Runan.

When I was young, I watched Mrs. Runan Hou hate and suppress Ning Xu. Ning Hui didn't have the slightest brotherly affection for Ning Xu, let alone any respect. Ning Xu's wife held a funeral for a few days. Ning Hui still ran out every day as usual, so why did he ever show his face before the spirit of his elder sister-in-law?
According to the usual practice today, Ning Hui stayed out until it was almost time for dinner, and then returned to the Runanhou Mansion.

Although he lives in the outer courtyard, Ning Hui has a mother who dotes on him. Mrs. Runan Hou is afraid that Ning Hui will not eat well, so Ning Hui has to eat dinner in her yard every day, and it is in the yard of Mrs. Runan Hou There is a small stove in the small kitchen.

When he arrived outside the second gate, Ning Hui was about to go in, but he heard the woman guarding the second gate say that the maid of Fu'an county master was guarding outside Ning Xu's yard, and it should be that Ning Xu was talking to Fu'an county master alone.

Upon hearing this, Ning Hui's heart skipped a beat.

Ning Hui also heard about the thoughts of the Lord Fu'an on Ning Xu from Mrs. Runan Hou.

Ning Hui does have self-knowledge, he knows that Ning Xu can step him into the mud if he really has to learn skills, if Ning Xu is not from a concubine and he is a concubine and is protected by Mrs. Runanhou, now he and The status among Ning Xu is probably about to be reversed.

Especially after Ning Xu became the companion of the fifth prince, Ning Hui felt more crisis in his heart.

Now that his eldest sister-in-law is gone, if Ning Xu seizes the opportunity to marry the county magistrate of Fu'an, then it is really uncertain who will be able to inherit the title in the future.

Although Ning Hui is a dude, he also attaches great importance to the matter of attacking the noble.

It was also because of this that he didn't just enter the inner house, but walked around to another gate of Ning Xu's courtyard and started eavesdropping.

The place where the Lord Fu'an and Ning Xu spoke just now was close to the gate of the courtyard, and the voice of the Lord Fu'an County was not suppressed at all when he was anxious, so Ning Hui didn't bother much, and put the relationship between the two together. The conversation between them was heard clearly.

Hearing that the county lord of Fu'an actually took the initiative to invite Ning Xu to a private meeting, Ning Hui couldn't help but feel grateful.

If he didn't hear it, and Ning Xu really went to the appointment, I'm afraid Ning Xu will marry the Fu'an County Lord in the future, and he and his mother don't know yet.

After all, who would have imagined that a domineering person like the county magistrate of Fu'an would lower his posture so much in front of Ning Xu?

Because Ning Hui was too engrossed in his thoughts, Ning Hui didn't notice for a while, stepped on a small stone, and almost fell, fearing that Ning Xu would find him when he heard his screams, he left in a hurry up.

Ning Hui went all the way into the inner house and went to Mrs. Runan Hou.

Mrs. Runan Hou had already prepared dinner at this time, and was waiting for Ning Hui to come back. As soon as Ning Hui entered the door, she rushed up to greet her, half delighted and half complaining: "You child, what's the matter?" It's time to come back, if it's later, the dishes should be cold, come and have a look, today, mother made your favorite..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Hui interrupted him.

"Mother!" Ning Hui frowned, "Why do you still think about what we eat? Ning Xu is almost hooking up with the Lord Fu'an County!"

Madam Runanhou was also shocked when she heard this.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Runan Hou and Ning Hui are the ones who least want Ning Xu to marry the Lord Fu'an.

Ning Hui himself does not live up to it, and he is much weaker than Ning Xu in every aspect. Under such circumstances, if Ning Xu marries a capable daughter-in-law, it is not true to catch Ning Hui's faults with the help of the Yue family. The one who can attack the noble as a bastard.

This is something that Mrs. Runan Hou and Ning Hui absolutely do not want to see.

When Ning Xu married his wife, why did Madam Runan let go so easily? Of course, it was because Ning Xu's wife's natal family was not visible, so she couldn't bring Ning Xu any help?
And the governor of Fu'an County...

This is the daughter of Princess Changning, the granddaughter of Empress Dowager Zhuang, and she is quite respectable even with the Holy Majesty. If Ning Xu is really allowed to marry the head of Fu'an County, just because of Princess Changning's temperament of doting on daughters, I'm afraid it will be To be able to reach out to the Marquis of Runan, Ning Xu must be pushed to the position of son.

Mrs. Runanhou has no problem dealing with Ning Xu. Not only does she occupy the position of aunt, but she also firmly suppresses Ning Xu in all aspects. It would be strange if Ning Xu could not be ruled to death.

However, if you really want to face Princess Changning, or even the Empress Dowager Zhuang behind Princess Changning, Mrs. Runanhou is not enough.

and so……

No matter what, Ning Xu must not be allowed to marry the Lord Fu'an!

Mrs. Runanhou and Ning Hui looked at each other, both mother and son had such conviction in their eyes.
