The prince is very cruel

Ning Xiu felt the kindness and couldn't help but smile. She had clear eyes and a beautiful face. She had the gracefulness and petiteness of a Jiangnan girl. Coupled with her youth, it was no wonder that she was favored by Zhao Yi.

She shook her head: "Sir, it's really okay, no one hit me."

Upon hearing this, Guan Ning opened his lips but had to give up.

The two fell into a brief silence.

Ning Xiu took the initiative to interrupt: "Sir, I don't know your name, where are you from?"

She was always kind and sincere, because her brother died, and she always felt that Guan Ning looked very kind.

"I'm from the capital, and my name is Guan Yang." Guan Ning didn't reveal his real name, not because he wanted to deceive anyone, but because if Zhao Yi knew it, he would definitely be alert.

Ning Xiu nodded and asked with concern: "What is Master Guan doing now?"

"Me? An unemployed vagrant, hahaha!" Guan Ning laughed.

unemployed?

Ning Xiu was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she heard such a novel and funny word, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Master Guan, since you have nothing to do, how about I introduce you to a job?"

"Madam." Her servant felt something was wrong and stopped her immediately.

Ning Xiu frowned in displeasure, and the servant immediately stopped talking.

"Um... let's forget about this." Guan Ning said.

"It's okay, I have no ill intentions. I just think you are very kind and we have a connection. If you don't mind, I can help you." Ning Xiu insisted with a kind heart.

Guan Ning knew that she saw him as her brother's shadow, so he couldn't bear to deceive her or take advantage of her.

"Ms. Ning, thank you for your kindness, but I'm not interested in this, so..."

Ning Xiu nodded and didn't force it.

"Well, I was abrupt."

"If you need anything in the future, you can come to the Zhao Mansion to find me. I will definitely help you if I can."

Guan Ning nodded, completely at a loss as to how to proceed.

He had thought of many ways to get something out of Ning Xiu, but her kindness and trust made Guan Ning a little unsure of how to start.

In the end, he just chatted with Ning Xiu about trivial matters, and it was quite pleasant to be in this bamboo forest.

After about three cups of tea.

"Master Guan, I've almost rested enough. I have to go home."

"Goodbye, I hope we'll have another chance to chat." She pursed her lips, her eyes full of reluctance. It seemed that she rarely chatted with others, and she had a good impression of Guan Ning.

Guan Ning stood up and bowed: "Okay, take care young lady."

Ning Xiu couldn't help but look strange. It had been a long time since anyone called her "Miss". She smiled and said, "Sir, if you don't mind, just call me Sister Ning."

Looking at her expectant eyes, Guan Ning hesitated for a moment: "Yes, Sister Ning."

Suddenly, Ning Xiu was extremely happy, and the corners of her eyes seemed to turn red. Then she secretly took out a purse from her sleeve, which contained about ten taels of silver, and stuffed it into Guan Ning's pocket.

"Sister won't let you yell for nothing."

"I am leaving."

"You can come to me if you need anything."

After saying that, she got on the carriage without saying anything, and Guan Ning couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

When he looked up again, Ning Xiu stuck her head out from the carriage with a friendly smile, and then the carriage drove away.

She is like a sister next door, but she has a tragic fate and has to return to her own cage. The look in her eyes when she looks back and smiles is simply amazing.

For some reason, Guan Ning couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

for a long time.

Sheng Qi stepped forward and said, "Prince, why were you only talking about irrelevant things just now?"

"If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to meet this woman."

Guan Ning came back to his senses, shook his head, and sighed: "I'm afraid this woman is also a pitiful person. I don't want to take advantage of her kindness and trust in me to deceive her."

"Let's wait and see the news from Lou Xinyue."

Shengqi was a rough man and didn't understand what was said, but he listened to Guan Ning.

"Okay, then, Prince, let's go back."

Guan Ning nodded and was about to leave when his ears suddenly moved slightly. His eyes were like a torch, locking onto the depths of the bamboo forest.

"Now that you're here, show yourself!"

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, causing Sheng Qi to tense up instantly and shout, "Who?!"
