I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

After a flash of disdain in Wei Jian'an's eyes, he threw his head back and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha! What? Do you think I, the crown prince of a nation, would fight with a cripple?"

Upon hearing the word "paralyzed," Lan Zhi let out a displeased snort.

"If that's the case, why did you get close to him?"

Wei Jian'an's lips curled up in disdain.

"I want to ask him, how much money would it take to get him to give you up?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ning felt his back teeth grinding together, and he wished he could get up right now and kill Wei Jian'an with his own hands.

However, he had to be patient; if he killed him now, he would become a murderer.

He wants the whole world to see his ugly face, and it won't be too late to kill him then.

He silently warned himself that a small act of impatience could ruin a great plan, and he had to be patient.

"Hahaha……"

Lan Zhi immediately burst out laughing.

"Your Highness, what kind of joke are you making? My husband and I are husband and wife, deeply in love. No matter how much money you give him, he will never abandon me. Besides, what do you need me for? Do you have any seriously ill patients in your household? Are you in dire need of a doctor?"

"I have no sick people in my household, and I don't lack doctors. However, I do need a concubine. If you don't want to be a concubine, I can make you a secondary consort, and in the future, you will be an imperial consort..."

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words..."

As Wei Jian'an's words became increasingly outrageous, Lan Zhi's face immediately turned ashen.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is the heir apparent of the Northern Wei Kingdom. How can he make jokes about the common people? If people find out, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?"

Wei Jian'an's gaze remained fixed on Mo Ning's eyes, then he looked at Lan Zhi with a serious expression.

“I’m not joking, I’m serious. I’ve taken a liking to you. If your man is willing, I’ll offer a thousand taels of silver, which is five times more than the two hundred taels he offered.”

"You're investigating us?"

Lan Zhi immediately glared angrily at Wei Jian'an.

"The crown prince of a nation, actually goes to investigate us ordinary people? How boring."

At this moment, a fierce glint appeared in Wei Jian'an's eyes.

Lan Zhi guessed correctly; he did indeed send someone to investigate Mo Ning because the look in his eyes when he came last time made him uneasy.

He became even more uneasy after the investigation results came out.

His men returned and reported that Mo Ning had come to Kangzhuang Village five years ago and lived there for five years, but no one knew where he came from or why he came to Kangzhuang Village.

Five years, which coincides with the time when Wei Jianning disappeared. Moreover, after Ade killed Wei Jianning, he simply threw him into a mass grave. When he later sent people to look for him, his body had already disappeared.

Combining this information with the memory of Mo Ning's murderous gaze when they last met, Wei Jian'an was immediately terrified and decided to test him.

He knew that Wei Jianning back then had a violent temper and couldn't tolerate any injustice. He came today to provoke him and see his reaction.

"Lan Zhi, you've misunderstood me. I investigated you because I like you and want to marry you. Naturally, I needed to know myself and my enemy!"

As he said this, his gaze swept over Mo Ning. Through the mask, he couldn't see Mo Ning's expression, but his eyes were still as cold and murderous as when they last met.

Lan Zhi frowned slightly, her face turning ashen as she looked at Wei Jian'an.

"Your Highness, please stop joking. The Empress Dowager has given me the day off, and I am fortunate to be back to reunite with my family. It is getting late, so please do not disturb us."

“Lan Zhi, I’m not joking. I really want to marry you. Even if you’re already married, looking at him like this, you two won’t be able to consummate your marriage. Why don’t you remarry me? I promise to give you a life of luxury and let you enjoy the happiness that a normal woman should have.”

His words made Mo Ning's face beneath the mask turn extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth, gathering all his anger at his fingertips.

His fingertips gripped the wheelchair armrests, veins bulging on the back of his hands, as he nearly snapped the armrests in two.

Lan Zhi sensed his unusual change and immediately gave Wei Jian'an a cold look.

“Wei Jian’an, I’m letting you off the hook because you’re the Crown Prince. Even if you say something outrageous, I won’t hold it against you. But please don’t go too far. Mo Ning and I are a couple who have been through thick and thin together. Whether he’s paralyzed or lame, even if he can never stand up again, I will stay by his side. Please, Your Highness, don’t make such jokes again. Otherwise, don’t blame me for chasing you away with a broom.”

Her tone was firm and carried an air of authority that commanded respect.

Wei Jian'an was stunned. He didn't expect that Mo Ning would remain calm, but Lan Zhi would get anxious.

To avoid making the atmosphere too awkward, he immediately tilted his head back and laughed.

"Hahaha, I was just joking with you. Why are you getting so worked up? I am the Crown Prince of Northern Wei. What kind of woman can't I find? Why would I come looking for a married woman like you?"

"In that case, Your Highness, please do not set foot in my house again, and do not come here to make such pointless jokes."

As she spoke, she strode to the door, opened the half-closed door wide, and said expressionlessly:

"Your Highness, please."

Wei Jian'an felt that his test today had failed, and not only that, he had also lost all face in this courtyard.

He awkwardly covered his mouth and cleared his throat, then looked at Mo Ning, whose eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"You are fortunate enough to marry Lan Zhi, which is truly enviable. However, you must keep a close eye on such an outstanding woman, lest someone else snatch her away."

"Hahaha……"

Leaving behind this sarcastic remark, he walked towards the door with his hands behind his back, laughing loudly as if trying to cover up his embarrassing situation.

As he passed Lan Zhi at the doorway, he whispered something in her ear.

"I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Lan Zhi snorted disdainfully.

"Your Highness, it's best to avoid making jokes like that. It's beneath your noble status and makes people look down on you."

This……

Wei Jian'an pursed his lips, strode out the door, and left quickly. The guards waiting outside hurriedly jogged to keep up with him.

Lan Zhi closed the door, turned around to look at everyone, and shrugged helplessly.

"Today's meal was a mess. Xiangxiu, go and reheat the food with Aqi."

After Xiangxiu and Aqi agreed, they carried the stir-fried food to the kitchen. Lanzhi then came to Mo Ning, looked at his eyes which had returned to their original color, and softly comforted him:

"Mo Ning, he is the Crown Prince. We can only listen to whatever unpleasant things he says, but please don't take it to heart."

Mo Ning gently shook her head, a tender smile in her eyes.

"You know my situation best. As long as you don't mind me, I have nothing to worry about."

At this moment, Yu Jie walked out of the storeroom, clenching her fist with one hand, muttering angrily.

"He's usually very serious and rarely jokes around. What's wrong with him today? This isn't like him at all!"

Mo Ning could certainly see Wei Jian'an's unusual behavior, which was why he had refrained from taking action despite being very angry.

However, this also made him extremely worried. If Wei Jian'an's words were meant to test him or provoke him, then it meant that he had begun to suspect him.

He had been constantly reminding himself that he absolutely could not reveal his identity before the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration; he had to keep a low profile. He wondered if his reaction just now had dispelled Wei Jian'an's suspicions.
