Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 523 Doubt (1)
Li Zhu pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, I thought the head of the family said it? That's because I heard it wrong."

Ning Ximai stared at Li Zhu intently for a long while, and Li Zhu's heart was frightened, so he turned and left, staggered across the street, and went back to his room.

Li Zhu thought for a while, gave up the idea of ​​continuing to beg him, and prepared to ask Nanyu for help.As a woman, Nanyu was also a widow, so she must understand Wang's suffering better.

When Li Zhu saw Nanyu, he thought about it for a while, and then began to tell her what happened to his family.Li Zhu told the story ups and downs, sad and moving.Nanyu felt sorry for hearing this.

She sighed and said, "Poor child, it's hard for you. Your mother is also hard for you."

But Liu Ma said disapprovingly: "How many people in this village are not like this? They are much worse than yours. Otherwise, well, who will come to the mountain for what?"

Li Zhu ignored her, only looked at Nan Yu, and said, "Second Madam, I know you have always been kind, and I wouldn't dare to plead for mercy if someone else is in charge—"

Before Li Zhu finished speaking, Madam Liu interrupted her.She glanced at Li Zhu, and said to Nan Yu: "Madam, it's not that I'm old and talkative, this matter is really difficult to handle. The second lady is new here, so she may not know the character of the sixth master. The sixth master is brave and has a good temperament. Then But killing people without blinking an eye. At the beginning, when the head of the family and the others went up the mountain, the original village owner would not allow them. The sixth head of the family killed the village owner in a fit of anger, and then elected the head of the Ning family to take the top spot. The old man said something bad, don't Speaking of you, madam, even the three heads of the family have to give him some points."

Nanyu remained silent, seemingly listening.

Li Zhu was a little anxious. She was about to speak when Madam Liu glanced at her and continued, "Miss Azhu, according to me, your mother will definitely not be able to stay here. Now that we have all gone up the mountain, let the former Put all those things away. If your mother doesn’t marry the Six Leaders, she will have to marry someone else. It’s actually not bad to marry the Six Leaders. The three of you, mother and son, have no worries about food and clothing, and have a place to live.”

Li Zhu was too lazy to reason with Liu Ma, so he just said lightly: "Even if I can't keep it, my mother still wants to choose someone who is sincere to her." Then, she bowed to Nan Yu and said: "Ma'am, I'm making things difficult for you Alright, I'll figure it out."

Nanyu pondered for a moment, then said to Li Zhu: "You should go ask the head of the family."

"By the way, I asked the people in the kitchen to make a hangover soup, and you bring it over. By the way, this matter was mentioned. Let's see what he says."

Li Zhu nodded his thanks.

When the hangover soup was ready, Li Zhu put it in a food box, asked the way, and walked towards Ning Ximai's residence.

The houses on this mountain are naturally inferior to other places, and the construction is very rough.Ning Ximai's residence is similar to other places.His residence is hidden in a forest.An extremely simple small courtyard with a few bamboos planted in front of the courtyard gate.

Sitting in front of the door were two young servants in Tsing Yi, chatting with each other.Li Zhu recognized one of them, and it was this person who asked her for the jade pendant.

She stepped forward to explain her purpose.The boy also opened the hangover soup to have a look, and tried it with a silver needle, and then let her in after seeing nothing unusual.

Another boy led Li Zhu out of the house.Li Zhu originally thought that Ning Ximai was lying drunk at this time, but he didn't expect that he was reading a book at the desk, how could he be as drunk as before?

"Why are you here again?" Ning Ximai asked without raising his head.

"I ordered the second lady to deliver hangover soup." Li Zhu replied honestly.

"Do you see me when you're drunk?"

"You were really drunk just now."

Ning Ximai didn't speak anymore, he stared at the table for a moment, and suddenly ordered: "Bring it up."

Li Zhu brought over the hangover soup.

"Come to beg me?"

"Yes."

"Let's talk." Ning Ximai said, leaning back in the chair, half-closed his eyes.
