As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

He Yue smiled, the blush on her face lingering. Perhaps people always do stupid things when they are nervous. She was a little nervous and picked up the basket and asked Ning Rusong, "Mr. He, do you want to eat?"

At this time, the sky was getting darker, and she stood at the door, shy and immature. Ning Rushong took advantage of the dim light to look at her almost greedily.

His hands could not help but stroke the incense ash beads. Gods and Buddhas were above him. He had escaped from the sea of ​​suffering and was able to continue his life in Lan Yin.

"Okay." Ning Rushong's voice was as gentle as jade.

He Yue didn't know what to do for a moment, because there was only her food in the basket! But since she had proposed it first, she couldn't take it back, which would be even more embarrassing.

Fortunately, Guard Zhang was smart. Since the prince and Miss He had a rare opportunity to spend time together, he naturally had to assist them. "The food is naturally not enough for the master and Miss He to dine together. I will go back to the mansion and ask the servants to bring some more."

After saying this, Guard Zhang bowed, saluted, and left quickly.

He Yue opened the other half of the door, looked up at Ning Rusong and said, "Mr. He, please come in. I'll go turn on the light. Why did you come to my house today?"

Although the He Mansion and her home are in the same village, they are still some distance away, so it is impossible for them to be on the way.

Ning Rusong approached her and took the basket from her naturally. "Today, when I was talking to Bai Huixian about something, he mentioned that the third son of the Luo family was looking for a matchmaker to go to Li Village to propose marriage. I thought it was you, Miss He, so I asked around."

"That matchmaker is famous for her black heart. She helped that group of playboys to oppress many good girls. I was afraid that Miss He couldn't handle it, so I thought of coming to take a look." Ning Rusong followed He Yue to the backyard and explained in a gentle tone. His clear voice was full of laughter, "I underestimated Miss He."

He Yue was quite smart and her intuition was always accurate. She could feel that Ning Rushong's kindness towards her was genuine. At the same time, she was more convinced that his identity must be extraordinary.

Bai Huixian was the name of the new county magistrate. Ning Rushong mentioned it in a nonchalant manner, revealing a bit of his inherent dignity.

He Yue lit several lamps, put on windproof lampshades, and placed them in the yard. The breeze was very cool on summer nights, and it was much more comfortable to eat in the yard than in the house.

"Mr. He, do you know the county magistrate?" The two of them were sitting opposite each other at a stone table. He Yue could no longer contain her curiosity and looked up, meeting his deep eyes. It was strange that he had high and broad brows and sharp eyes, which should have given him a feeling of loneliness and coldness.

Ning Rusong took the tea that He Yue poured for him and said, "Bai Huixian can be considered my subordinate."

A knife that you are used to is always more handy to use. This time, he recruited Bai Huixian under his command three years early. Even if Bai Huixian's fate in the future is the same as in his previous life, he can still use him for three more years.

He Yue thought to herself, subordinates? Bai Huixian was the top scholar sent down from Yuncheng. One month after Mr. He came to Min County, he became the county magistrate. This must not be a coincidence. She knew better and stopped asking. The intrigues between big shots were not something she could ask about.

At this time, Guard Zhang came back with four servants. More than a dozen dishes were placed on the stone table, and even wine was prepared. The wine warmed the love. What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss He got together today?

He was a guard who was good at fighting and was also very good at being a servant. He bowed to the two of them and said, "Master, Miss He, please have your meal. I won't disturb you. I will come back to clean up the dishes after you are done."

Guard Zhang couldn't help thinking that if he got stabbed, he would definitely be able to make a name for himself in the palace. Then he was disgusted by his own thought. Bah! Bah! Why would a good man think about this? His mother was still looking forward to him carrying on the family line!

Guard Zhang came quickly and left quickly. Ning Rusong motioned for her to try it, "The chef in the mansion is not bad, Miss He, please try it."

He Yue picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. It tasted really good, but she glanced at the basket on the ground. She felt that the food cooked by Aunt Fang's daughter was no worse than that of the chef in the He Mansion.

Ning Rusong did not move his chopsticks. He poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip slowly, with a noble demeanor. "This wine has a strong aftertaste. Miss He, please don't drink it. I will bring some lighter fruit wine another day."

He Yue naturally couldn't drink in front of a man she wasn't that familiar with, so she accepted the opportunity and nodded, then said with a sigh, "My household registration documents were handled so smoothly, I guess it was because you, Mr. He, took care of it for me. I was wondering why those officials were so kind."

"Don't laugh at me for being arrogant." He Yue frowned slightly, put down her chopsticks, and said tentatively, "I am just a widow with nothing. The only thing I have left is my decent looks. The better you treat me, the more uneasy I feel. I don't dare to eat the pie in front of Bai Cheng."

Ning Rusong was almost undisguised in his kindness to her. He Yue had eyes and could see that he wanted to take her as a concubine like the third son of the Luo family? Or even worse, keep her in Min County as a mistress.

In ancient times, most men got married very early. Mr. He was wealthy and powerful, so he should have a wife, and maybe even several concubines, but they were not brought to Min County. He Yue lowered her head, her eyes a little dejected. She didn't want to think too badly of him, but she couldn't find any other decent excuse.

Ning Rusong did not hesitate, nor did he use other excuses to evade the question. He stood up and walked to He Yue, lowered his eyes, and said to He Yue in a very serious tone, "I do have feelings for Miss He, but I don't mean to force you. I just want to ask you to give me a chance."

The two were close to each other, and He Yue could smell the elegant scent on him. Her ears felt hot. She turned sideways and looked up, trying to talk things out with him. There was determination in Liu Ye's eyes. "I'm a widow who became a widow last month. I don't have any intention of looking for a man for the time being. You should have no shortage of women around you, so there's no need..."

"I don't have any women around me." Ning Rusong interrupted her and met her astonished gaze, "I don't have a wife, nor do I have a concubine."

In his previous life, he had to accept the women his mother had forced him to accept after he turned twenty, but he had never touched them. In this life, he has not yet reached adulthood, and will not accept any concubines.

Ning Rushong felt a little bitter and uncomfortable when she heard He Yue say that she became a widow last month. However, her nonsense was somehow connected to the head of the Duan family. The connection between the two of them was both frighteningly shallow and terrifyingly deep.

He Yue's eyes turned strange. Ning Rusong was silent for a moment, then added, "There's nothing wrong with my body, and I like women."

"I don't mean that..." He Yue smiled awkwardly when her thoughts were seen through. Why is this Mr. He like a worm in her stomach?
