Chapter 553: Horses Frightened in Bustling City

"Third brother?"

Ning Zhiyi turned around inadvertently and saw Ning Yuanyi standing in the distance.

Seeing that he had been discovered, Ning Yuanyi had no choice but to come over to greet him, so he walked over quickly.

After greeting Jiangnan for the first time, he said:

"Prince An came and stood for a while, then suddenly left because of something urgent."

"Why did he leave so soon? Princess Yong'an sent me an invitation to visit the palace tomorrow. Could it be that he came here to talk about this matter?"

"It's possible."

Ning Yuanyi answered absentmindedly, observing Jiang Nanchu vaguely. The more he looked, the more he shook his head in his heart.

He didn't have any objection to Jiang Nanchu, but he had an objection to Jiang Nanchu becoming his brother-in-law.

I couldn't help but think in my mind, if the two of them really accomplished something good, Jiang Nanchu is so weak, would he need his precious sister to protect him in the future?

My sister has a carefree personality and high fighting skills, while Jiang Nanchu speaks softly and doesn't seem to know any martial arts. Don't even think about expecting him to protect my sister in the future. It's a good thing that he doesn't let my sister protect him instead.

Strong women and weak men!

Is such a marriage really feasible?

Before Ning Yuanyi could figure it out, Jiang Nanchu's servant rushed in.

"Sir..."

The young servant lowered his voice and said a few words. Jiang Nanchu frowned but did not hide it from Ning Zhiyi.

"Zhiyi, the post station is in turmoil, let's go over and take a look."

Ning Zhiyi immediately stood up and asked:

"What's going on? Why is there trouble at the post station?"

Jiang Nanchu's face looked very bad. "The news that Su Muzhe was imprisoned spread out, and other envoys from the Phoenix Kingdom asked Your Highness to release him. They felt that the eldest princess was also a member of the royal family, and her travels abroad represented the face of the royal family."

"Besides, Yu'er has been making a fuss these past two days, saying that Su Muzhe must be released for Yu'er's sake."

Ning Zhiyi sneered, "Don't these ministers know the difference between the big and small kings? Whose ministers are they, and whose subordinates are they? They dare to meddle in the affairs of their masters. It seems that their heads are a little itchy and they want to move."

Hearing Ning Zhiyi's ridicule, Jiang Nanchu also found it ridiculous.

"Zhiyi, according to my guess, these ministers who spoke up must be the Second Princess's subordinates."

"Although the Grand Princess did not announce the reason why Su Muzhe was locked up, the officials under the Grand Princess were only surprised and had no other reaction. The people who caused trouble today were all those who were close to Su Muzhe on weekdays."

"They are either the Second Princess's men, or they have been bribed by her."

Ning Zhiyi nodded, "What you said makes sense. Let's go over there quickly and see how His Highness will handle this."

Hearing that there was a disturbance at the post station, Ning Yuanyi was worried about his sister's safety and offered to go with them. However, just as he reached the gate of the mansion, he ran into Ning Yuanze.

The few of them greeted each other again, and Ning Yuanze said:

"Yuanyi, my father wants to see you, please come over quickly."

"Okay, big brother, I'll be there right away. Please accompany me for a while."

Ning Yuanze was on vacation today and he had nothing else to do, so he agreed immediately.

"Brother, why have you been so elusive these days? I haven't seen you much."

Ning Yuanze has been secretly investigating things during this period of time, and he also has to be on duty, so he is many times busier than usual.

"I'm busy with the errands ordered by the emperor. Have you had fun these past two days?"

In fact, he was still busy with the things Ning Shengan had instructed him to do, but because Jiang Nanchu was present, Ning Yuanze did not explain it in too much detail.

"Of course, I had a lot of fun. Hehe, mother is going to send someone to the Du Mansion to propose marriage. I will have a third sister-in-law soon. I just don't know when my eldest sister-in-law will come."

Ning Zhiyi held up her face and leaned close to Jiang Nanchu, and the two of them laughed and joked non-stop.

Seeing the two of them being so intimate, Ning Yuanze frowned. He had never seen his sister being so close to that man.

Could it be that my sister has come to her senses and fallen in love with Jiang Nanchu?

But after carefully observing the way the two got along with each other and thinking about the national customs of Feng Country, he was completely relieved.

If you ignore gender and look at the essence, there is no difference between Jiang Nanchu and her sister. Jiang Nanchu can be said to be a girl who has changed her gender, and the two of them are most likely in a "sisterhood"!

After realizing this, Ning Yuanze let down his guard and responded to Ning Zhiyi's teasing with ease.

"I know my brother. He doesn't get along with women. If you want my sister-in-law, I might have to trouble Zhiyi to pay attention to my brother."

"Hehe, that's great. When I get back I'll tell mom that my eldest brother wants to get married."

Ning Zhiyi smiled slyly and teased intentionally.

Jiang Nanchu was very envious, "Zhiyi, your Dali is so good, men can choose the women they like before getting married, unlike in our Feng country, where women choose us."

"Alas, in my memory, there has never been a case of a man choosing a woman. Even the princes in the palace are the same. They will be directly arranged to marry by the empress, and they will not be allowed to choose for themselves."

Ning Zhiyi turned his head, puzzled:

"Why can't even the prince choose the woman he likes? Shouldn't love be based on mutual affection?"

"I think it's best to go both ways. A one-sided choice will probably create a resentful couple."

Jiang Nanchu smiled and said, "No, in our Feng Kingdom, women have a much higher status than men. Even the prince and people like us cannot completely decide our own marriages."

"A considerate parent might arrange for their son to secretly meet his future wife before the wedding. If they are not considerate, he might not be able to understand his wife's appearance and temperament until after the wedding."

Ning Zhiyi leaned back and rested his waist on the cushion behind him.

"It's better here. Before the engagement, most parents will follow their children's wishes and arrange for the two to meet from a distance. If there are no objections, the engagement can go smoothly. After the engagement, during festivals, the betrothed couple can go out and play together accompanied by their elders or brothers at home."

Ning Yuanze rode a tall horse and followed the carriage slowly forward. Hearing the conversation between the two people in the carriage, he couldn't help but smile.

The way these two of them got along was just like how two girls get along, which further confirmed his previous guess. He completely let down his guard against Jiang Nanchu and even felt that he liked Jiang Nanchu a lot more.

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, a horse-drawn carriage came rushing towards us. Although it was in a busy city, the carriage was moving very fast.

Even though Ning Zhiyi's carriage was seen in front, the carriage showed no sign of slowing down.

Ning Yuanze's eyes turned cold, and he ordered the driver:

"Move aside and protect the lady!"

He squeezed the horse's belly and rode forward. He thought the horse in front of him was out of control. He was worried that the frightened horse would hurt someone in the downtown area. In order to save the people in the carriage, Ning Yuanze planned to control the frightened horse.

Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared and made him give up this idea.
