Chapter 302 Shrew

As the sun rose directly to its zenith, the group set off into the bright sunshine.

Xiao Mu led the troops, while Xiao Ran sat in the carriage behind. The horse's hooves kicked up snow and sand. Looking again, the troops had disappeared into the thin mist.

Nangong Ming kept waving his hand, as if trying to shake off the disappointment in his heart. He didn't know when they would meet again.

A lump formed in his throat, and he quickly stopped waving his hands, turning his head to hide behind the carriage.

As soon as they hid, they heard someone crying quietly.

Frustrated and agitated, he rushed over there, intending to berate the person, but when he actually saw who it was, he froze on the spot.

Chen Zijin was seen dangling under the willow tree, her eyes swollen from crying, constantly wiping her face with a handkerchief, as if she had encountered something extremely distressing.

Nangong Ming scratched his head. Why was this woman even more heartbroken than he was? Could it be that she had a deeper relationship with Xiao Ran than he did?

Just as he was about to go up and argue with her, he saw a woman walking over with several maids.

He quickly found a tree and hid behind it.

"Chen Zijin! So that's where you've been hiding!"

Nangong Ming was taken aback. Wasn't this the eldest daughter of the Chen family, Chen Ruonan, whom he had just met?

Did he accidentally stumble into a scene of an older sister disciplining her younger sister?

Chen Ruonan glanced sideways at the maid beside her, and the maid immediately said:

“Miss Zijing, please go back quickly. Madam Dong is about to pass away... She wants to see you one last time.”

Chen Zijing, emboldened by some unknown source, sobbed, "I won't go back. You're the ones who hurt my mother! My mother said that if I go back, I'll only be used by you, and I'll only become a sacrifice for your power struggles!"

"You're not going back?"

Chen Ruonan fiercely pulled her to his side: "Don't forget, you don't just have Dong Yuan as your mother, you also have the entire General's Mansion!"

"You must marry into the Ningyuan Earl's family, or the entire Zhonglang General's mansion will be buried with you!"

The Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion? Nangong Ming was shocked. The Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion only had a dissolute old man, and no children... Could it be that the beautiful Chen Zijing was to marry that old scoundrel?!

Chen Zijin tried to shake off Chen Ruonan's hand, but Chen Ruonan held on very tightly.

"Why me! Sister, have you forgotten that you are also a daughter of the General of the Central Army!"

Chen Ruonan slapped Chen Zijin across the face.

"I am the legitimate daughter! And you are merely a lowly illegitimate daughter! That is the reason!"

A gust of wind blew by, and with it, Chen Zijin's tears fell.

Chen Ruonan didn't say anything, but her maidservants took the initiative to restrain Chen Zijin.

"She said she didn't want to go back."

I hadn't walked more than a few steps when I was interrupted by a clear male voice.

Chen Ruonan was taken aback by Nangong Ming's appearance. She was about to go up and say something when she was stunned by Nangong Ming's actions.

Nangong Ming walked to Chen Zijin's side, pushed the maids aside, and then raised Chen Zijin's wrist.

"Are you deaf?! She said she doesn't want to go back!"

Chen Ruonan smiled and stepped forward a few steps. "Is Prince Nangong misunderstanding something? Ruonan just wants to bring her playful younger sister home..." She turned to Chen Zijing. "Zijing, say something!"

Chen Zijing remained silent, but Nangong Ming shielded her behind him and angrily said:

"Do you think I'm deaf?! I heard everything you just said, it was clearly you..."

He looked at Chen Ruonan:

"Especially you! You're such a shrew! It's your sister's choice where she wants to go, are you trying to force her?!"
