Reading minds and eating big melons! The cannon fodder collectively collapsed

"Sister, what were you and second brother talking about behind my back?" Ning Hui walked to Ning Sangsang and asked curiously.

"Little brat, don't ask about adults' affairs." Ning Sangsang replied in a serious tone.

"...Sister, I'm grown up now, not a child anymore, and you are only two years older than me!" Ning Hui protested dissatisfiedly.

"No matter how old he is, he's still a kid." Ning Sangsang rolled her eyes.

I muttered to myself: [If you were in the 21st century, you would still be a little kid or an elementary school student. But the ancients did look more mature than modern people. Boys in their teens were already handsome, and girls in their teens were already charming. In modern times, children of this age are still stunted dry cowpeas.]

Ning Hui was confused after listening to Ning Sangsang's strange remarks, not knowing how to respond. It was Ning Chengxiao who spoke up, "It's getting late, let's go back." He always felt that Yan Xuanjing had feelings for his brother, and they couldn't let them have too much contact, otherwise what if... He really didn't dare to think about it.

Ning Hui frowned and muttered, "Second brother, it's still early in the day, why are you going home so early? Let's play for a while, we just got here, and sister must not be having a good time." Ning Hui wanted to stay with Yan Xuanjing for a while longer, and ask him how he healed his face and legs. He didn't want to go back at all.

Ning Chengxiao saw through his brother's thoughts at a glance, frowned and said, "Mom told us to go back early."

"Second brother, you are not the kind of person who listens to mother. Mother doesn't allow you to be with Bai Xinrou, but you still stay with Bai Xinrou." Ning thought quickly before he replied. He knew he had said the wrong thing as soon as the words came out of his mouth. Bai Xinrou had cheated on his second brother, and his second brother was already in a depressed mood. By saying this, he was just rubbing salt into his second brother's wounds.

Thinking of this, he quickly looked at his second brother, only to see that he had a cold face. Ning Hui's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, he had made his second brother angry. Just when he opened his mouth to explain, he saw his second brother turned around and left with a sullen face without saying a word.

Ning Hui watched Ning Chengxiao walk away angrily, and said to Ning Sangsang with a sad face: "Sister, I made my second brother angry. He will definitely ask me to pay back the money when he goes back."

"Don't be afraid, someone will help you pay back the money." Ning Sangsang patted his shoulder and comforted him. After that, she looked at Yan Xuanjing, hinting Ning Hui.

[Little brother, Yan Zi has money, ask him to borrow some.]

When Ning Hui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Yan Xuanjing with hope.

Yan Xuanjing: "I don't have any money."

Ning Hui: "..."

Talking about money really hurts feelings.

Ning Hui watched his second brother walk further and further away, and he didn't want to play here anymore, so he said to Yan Xuanjing: "Brother Xuan, I'm going back first. I'll come to play with you another day."

Yan Xuanjing nodded and looked at the backs of the brother and sister as they walked away. Only after watching Ning Sangsang's figure disappear did he look away.

"Go back home." He said coldly.

Here, Ning Sangsang and Ning Hui caught up with Ning Chengxiao who was leaving. Ning Hui apologized to Ning Chengxiao with a flattering face, "Second brother, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have mentioned the matter between you and Bai Xinrou just now. Second brother, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."

The second brother used to love Bai Xinrou to death. He had a falling out with his family because of Bai Xinrou. Bai Xinrou even cheated on him, which dealt him such a big blow. What he said just now was like rubbing salt into the second brother's wound.

Ning Chengxiao looked at Ning Hui's flattering expression, and his tense face relaxed. He said unhappily, "This won't happen again."

"Okay, second brother!" Ning Hui nodded hurriedly and secretly swore in his heart that he would never mention Bai Xinrou in front of his second brother again, so as not to make him sad.

Of course, the most important thing is that he dare not make his second brother angry. If his second brother asks him to pay back the money, he will be in trouble.

You know, he owed his second brother a full thirty thousand taels of silver! His monthly pocket money was only one hundred taels, thirty thousand taels of silver...even if he sold himself, he wouldn't be worth that much money!

Ning Sangsang watched from the side, her lips slightly raised, muttering in her heart:

[This little brother apologized to his second brother in such a fawning way, maybe he was afraid that his second brother would be angry and ask him to pay back the money.]

Ning Hui felt a little uncomfortable as his thoughts were seen through. He coughed a few times and said, "Brother, Sister, let's go."

"Let's go." Ning Chengxiao responded.

Seeing that his second brother didn't ask him to pay back the money, Ning Hui finally felt relieved.

The three of them walked back together.

On the way, Ning Chengxiao told Ning Hui with a serious face: "Stay away from Yan Xuanjing in the future." People like Yan Xuanjing are too scheming, and his silly brother would suffer if he had contact with someone with a simple mind.

Ning Hui frowned when he heard this: "Second brother, Brother Xuan is a very good person, don't be prejudiced against him, and don't look down on him like others do!"

Ning Chengxiao: “…”

I'm afraid that you, a bad boy, will be kidnapped by Yan Xuanjing! Ning Chengxiao complained in his heart, but seeing Ning Hui's face defending Yan Xuanjing, he knew that he couldn't force it, and had to change his approach. Just when he wanted to say something to Ning Hui, Ning Hui spoke first, "Second brother, I'm not stupid. I can tell right from wrong. Brother Xuan is a good person, but he's a little cold."

Ning Chengxiao felt helpless as he watched his brother protecting Yan Xuanjing. Just as he was about to say something, his sister spoke again, "Brother, let's go. Yan Xuanjing won't hurt Ah Hui."

[Yan Xuanjing treats the younger brother as his younger brother and will not hurt him.]

Ning Sangsang felt very sympathetic towards Yan Xuanjing. Yan Xuanjing had a miserable life since childhood, so he became a ruthless person. If he was not ruthless, he would not be able to survive in the dark place of the Great Yan Palace. She felt that anyone who grew up in the environment like Yan Xuanjing might become a person like Yan Xuanjing.

After hearing what his sister said, Ning Chengxiao stopped talking. He thought that if his brother wanted to contact Yan Xuanjing, he could do so. Yan Xuanjing would not hurt his brother anyway.

At the flower-viewing banquet, Pei Yunluo had been in a bad mood since she knew Ning Sangsang had left the banquet. She kept thinking about what Ning Sangsang said about Zhang Yu. Thinking about every moment she spent with Zhang Yu, Pei Yunluo couldn't believe that the noble and upright Yulang in her mind was actually the kind of person Ning Sangsang described.

"Nonsense! It must be that little bitch Ning Sangsang who said that!" Pei Yunluo became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She slammed the table, stood up, and walked out of the house. She planned to sneak out of the house to find Zhang Yu and ask him about it.

When she got outside, she told her personal maid Feicui at the door: "If my parents and eldest brother come to look for me, tell them that I didn't sleep well last night and am resting."

When Feicui heard this, she knew that the princess was going to sneak out of the mansion to visit her lover Zhang Yu again. She quickly advised: "Princess, today is the flower viewing banquet. If you sneak out at this critical moment, you will be easily discovered by the princess!"

The matter between the princess and Zhang Yu had been kept secret from the princess and the others. No one else knew about it except her. Every time the princess met with Zhang Yu in private, she asked her to keep watch outside. If the princess knew about this, she would be in big trouble.

Pei Yunluo frowned and said, "If you don't tell me, who will know? Just do as I say. If my parents and elder brother ask, just say I'm not feeling well and am resting." After that, Pei Yunluo hurried out of the yard without waiting for Feicui's response.

Feicui looked at Pei Yunluo's back and sighed helplessly. She knew that her princess had deep feelings for Zhang Yu, but she felt that Zhang Yu was not worthy of her princess. Moreover, she always felt that Zhang Yu was not a good man and that he had a purpose in approaching the princess.

Pei Yunluo left the house and went straight to where Zhang Yu lived now.
