Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

"Ahem," Nan Yi didn't dare to say "Xiao Zhizi likes you" right away because he was afraid of scaring Nan Yingzhi away. He tried to test her thoughtfully, "That is, what are your feelings for Xiao Zhizi?"

Asking me about my attitude towards Xiao Zhizi...is that asking me about my attitude towards Yun Ji?

Nan Yi's eyes were burning, but Nan Yingzhi remained noncommittal.

Isn't the relationship between the two of them just like grasshoppers on the same rope, brothers in distress?

But imagine a father asking a man "How do you feel about my daughter?" It's like he's testing the man for his daughter to see if he has her in his heart.

As a "man", she certainly cannot say that she has "no feelings" in front of this father.

Especially since the father is about to go to the battlefield and cannot stand the stimulation.

Not sure why Nan Yi asked this, Nan Yingzhi remained calm and took a step back: "Why do you ask that?"

Nan Yi knew that Yun Ji was very direct in his feelings and had a clear distinction between love and hate. If he really didn't like Xiao Zhizi, he would have rejected her long ago. Why would he ask another question?

Feeling that there was hope, Nan Yi carefully promoted the idea for his daughter.

He praised her profusely, wishing to use all the good words to describe her: "She is intelligent, capable of both housework and cooking, gentle and considerate, and kind-hearted..."

Nan Yingzhi nodded, smiling, but did not respond.

She was full of doubts. What did Nan Yi talk about with Yun Ji when he came to the palace to visit her?

According to her speculation, it should be just a reminiscence of the past, but was she, a regent who had nothing to do with the harem, dragged into the reminiscence? !

She must take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to get to the bottom of it.

Nan Yi was like a peacock spreading its feathers, trying hard to show off his daughter, chattering non-stop.

It was not until the coachman stopped the carriage, Lingyu lifted the curtain and said, "We've arrived at the General's Mansion" that Nan Yi reluctantly shut up.

Due to the presence of others, Nan Yi did not dare to say more. He raised his eyebrows and mouthed to Nan Yingzhi: "Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

Nan Yingzhi had originally agreed with Yun Ji to meet at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. She had no psychological burden and cooperated with Ling Yu to help Nan Yi get off the carriage.

"Have a good rest tonight," Nan Yingzhi nodded at him, indicating that she would go to Yunji for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, "I'll see you off at the city gate tomorrow morning."

After receiving the affirmation, Nan Yi felt relieved. With the help of his family members, he walked into the general's mansion which had been deserted for a long time.

Seeing Nan Yi's figure completely disappear, Nan Yingzhi seemed to be thinking about something, and sat back in the Regent's Palace carriage that had been following them.

She believed that she was not someone who would be troubled by love, but when she saw the general's mansion which was pitch dark and only lit up when Nan Yi came back, she rarely felt emotional.

A general who sacrificed his life for his country could not even afford the daily lighting expenses. Isn’t the salary system of Dali a bit unreasonable?

Song Cheng's words "You can take his place" lingered in my ears again.

It was obvious that Nan Yi wanted to pair her with Yun Ji, which made Nan Yingzhi feel even more uncomfortable.

She has always rejected love because the essence of love is nothing more than three hormones: phenylethylamine, dopamine and endorphins.

It is with their help that people have that light feeling.

There is no one who doesn't like happiness, and Nan Yingzhi is no exception.

What she hates is the out-of-control side of love.

If the mother had not been in love too deeply, commonly known as the late stage of love brain, she would have married a scumbag despite family opposition and severed ties with the family.

It wouldn't have been the case that after discovering her husband's extramarital affair, she would have cried so heartbreakingly and knelt on the ground begging him to return to the family, but was kicked hard instead.

After being beaten several times, she finally made up her mind to divorce.

Not to mention that, because he remembered the excitement of his youth, he took her, who was only six years old at the time, out of the house with nothing, without even a penny of property.

What Nan Yingzhi was most thankful for was that after the divorce, her mother did not abandon her and let her take her surname "Nan".

However, my mother had been a housewife for many years and had long been out of touch with society. She had no idea how to find a job and was rejected by employers one after another.

Fortunately, her mother read a lot of books during her years as a lady from a wealthy family.

It is said that "a man of culture is naturally elegant", and in the job market, she was like a pearl wiped away from the dust. After waiting for a long time, she was finally discovered by a rich lady and went to live in her house as a nanny.

Her mother was once a wealthy lady after all, and it was somewhat embarrassing for her to be a nanny for a while, but she had to compromise for the sake of her own and her daughter's lives.

Having experienced a life of luxury, she was extremely adept at her job as a nanny, and was able to do housework and help children with their homework with ease.

However, when working as a nanny in a mansion, one would always run into people one knew before. They were also very surprised. Has the eldest daughter of the Nan family now fallen to the point of working as a nanny for other families?

Nan Yingzhi's mother was originally thin-skinned, but in the end, she no longer felt anything.

But the good times did not last long. Working as a nanny in a big city could only barely support her and her daughter.

In order to allow Nan Yingzhi to enjoy a better material life, her mother also used her spare time to do part-time work.

She was willing to do any work, no matter how hard or tiring it was. In the end, she collapsed from exhaustion on the operating table and rescue efforts were ineffective.

To say that she is pitiful is true, and to say that she is hateful is also true.

Why should we depend on others to live? Why should we abandon our status and wealth to marry just because of a momentary impulse?

Since her family had been in financial difficulty since she could remember, Nan Yingzhi had asked her mother about these topics more than once.

My mother has a good temper and always just smiles gently: "Who knows, it's all in the past."

Nan Yingzhi had thought more than once that if she hadn't lost control, she would have been the lady of this mansion instead of a nanny's daughter.

Her mother would not die young, but would be able to enjoy her old age.

What she hated most was losing control even though she knew it was wrong.

If she had to choose between bread and love, she would choose bread without hesitation.

Bread can fill your stomach, but love can never be eaten and it may even cost you your life.

The road back to the Regent's Palace was relatively smooth, and the incense in the car calmed her nerves, but Nan Yingzhi felt inexplicably depressed.

With so many thoughts in her mind, memories dragged her into internal friction.

Knowing that the best way to eliminate internal friction was to find something to do or do some physical exercise, Nan Yingzhi lifted the car curtain.

Ling Yu, who had been following the carriage on both sides, was puzzled when he saw her sticking her head out. He came over with concern and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Stop the carriage for a moment." In the dark night, Nan Yingzhi's purple eyes shone like night pearls, inexplicably, "I'll go down and take a walk."

The carriage was right next to them, so how could he let the owner get off?

"It's only a short walk anyway," Nan Yingzhi raised her hand to stop him from talking, got off the carriage and went to the Regent's Palace. "I'm so full, I'll walk back to help digest the food."

Unable to persuade her, Lingyu had to signal the coachman to wait on the side in case Nan Yingzhi got tired and wanted to ride in the carriage again.

This place was not far from the Regent's Palace, and they arrived there in a short while.

It was already curfew time and the streets were empty with not a single pedestrian in sight.

Just as Nan Yingzhi was about to step into the mansion, Lingyu's ears suddenly moved: "My Lord, listen, there seems to be some sound!"

Knowing that Ling Yu was a secret guard, he was most useful to ordinary people. Nan Yingzhi pricked up her ears and indeed heard a delicate cry: "Meow~"

Where does the cat's meow come from?

Ling Yu followed the sound, he walked lightly and slowly towards the bushes.

Reaching out and pushing aside the plants that blocked his view, Lingyu could see the cat clearly in the moonlight.
