Chapter 163 No matter how good they are, it's not her
"That's right." The eunuch looked at Mu Jingrui, who was about to faint, and said with a smile, "Then let me take Master Mu back to the house, and don't bother the Marquis."
Zheng Guoxun sighed in his heart, these people are just chess pieces in the hands of the emperor after all.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
The chamberlain eunuch winked at the accompanying young eunuchs, and the four young eunuchs immediately stepped forward to help Mu Jingrui.
Mu Jingrui's injuries were serious, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
"Jing Rui..."
Shangguan Wan Ning wanted to go see Mu Jingrui, but she could only watch as Mu Jingrui was carried away by the eunuchs.
She slumped on the ground helplessly, her whole body cold.
Now, the feud between the Zheng family and Mu Jingrui has been completely settled. How can we resolve it?
"Ning'er, get up and go back to the room." Zheng Binghong said softly.
He wanted to help Shangguan Wan Ning, but she pushed him away.
She climbed up with difficulty.
"Ning'er, how are you?" Shangguan Yue heard the news and hurried over. Seeing that his daughter was fine, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dad..." Shangguan Wan Ning felt aggrieved.
She never thought that in order to win this competition, her second uncle, whom she had always respected, would actually take advantage of her and completely ignore her safety.
"Dad, I want to go home."
After Shangguan Yue heard the informant explain the process of the competition, he was also dissatisfied with his second brother-in-law, but he just couldn't get angry in front of his father-in-law.
His face was gloomy, and he took his daughter and was about to leave.
"Ning'er, wait a moment." Zheng Binghang stepped forward, completely ignoring Shangguan Wan Ning's grievance and fright, and ordered, "Mu Jingrui is not a simple person, he is ruthless. You must never interact with him again in the future. I know
?”
Shangguan Wan Ning's originally suppressed anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed at this moment, and she sarcastically said: "No matter how ruthless he is, I'm afraid he can't compare to you, my second uncle."
"You girl...what do you mean by this?" Zheng Binghang scolded.
"What do you mean, second uncle, don't you understand? Did you care about my life when you threw me to Mu Jingrui just now? If Mu Jingrui doesn't save me, I will be half-cooked even if I don't die."
"you……"
"Forget it, Ning'er, stop talking and go back with dad."
Shangguan Yue glanced at Zheng Binghang, and he remembered this grudge.
For a whole day and night, Shangguan Wan Ning locked herself in her room without eating, drinking, crying or making trouble.
Others thought she was worried about Mu Jingrui.
In fact, in addition to worrying about Mu Jingrui's injuries, she was also worried that what she experienced in her previous life would happen again.
She originally thought that she could sit back and relax after Mu Jingrui's hatred for her father was resolved; but who knew that the hatred against the Zheng family would only become deeper and deeper.
"Have something to eat."
Zheng Binghong pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bowl of lily red bean paste in his hand. He stirred it a few times and said with a smile: "Do you know, when I was making this bowl of red bean paste just now, I kept thinking about how much sugar I should put in."
It’s suitable. Come and have a taste.”
Shangguan Wan Ning turned to look at Zheng Binghong and called softly, "Uncle."
"Ning'er, are you still angry with your second uncle?"
Shangguan Wan Ning lowered her head and said nothing. If she said she wasn't angry, it would be a lie. She didn't want to lie.
"You are right to be angry with him. I was also very angry. Your grandpa also punished him severely. Next time you see him, ask him to apologize to you."
Shangguan Wan Ning looked at the red bean paste and couldn't help but think of Zheng Zhixing.
"Zhixing also likes to eat the red bean paste you made, uncle..." Shangguan Wanning said, shedding tears, "Actually, I don't blame the second uncle, he just lost his only son, I can understand his mood. That day
I was also wrong for talking back to him. Forget it..."
Zheng Binghong sighed deeply, Shangguan Wanning's sensibleness made him feel distressed.
"Ning'er, you don't have to compromise so much. If you really want to marry Mu Jingrui, then..."
"Uncle, I don't blame my second uncle, it's because we are a family and we should stick together. Only in this way... can we not be bullied by outsiders. I do want to marry Mu Jingrui, but the current situation..."
Shangguan Wan Ning took a mouthful of red bean paste, and the sweet taste gradually spread in her mouth.
She stopped her tears and said, "Fate is destined and cannot be forced. I just hope that the hatred between the two families will not intensify... That's fine."
Zheng Binghong was speechless.
"I have inquired. After Mu Jingrui was sent home, the chamberlain summoned the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him. He is not in fear of his life."
"That's good." Shangguan Wanning put down the bowl and looked out the window, confused and sad.
Mu Jingrui woke up again, still lying on the original bed, and Mu Jingyan fell asleep leaning on his bedside.
He wanted to sit up, but with just a slight movement, the burnt wound seemed to be torn apart, causing severe pain.
He couldn't help but let out a "tsk" sound, which immediately woke up Mu Jingyan beside him.
"Brother, are you awake?" Mu Jingyan helped his brother sit up, "Just tell me what you want. Does it hurt? I'll get you some ointment."
Mu Jingyan turned around and took the ointment from the cabinet, then called the man waiting outside to wipe Mu Jingrui's wound.
Seeing him suppressing the pain without saying a word, she felt heartbroken and couldn't help complaining: "Brother, is it really worth it for you to do this...?"
"It's worth it." Mu Jingrui replied without hesitation.
He looked at his sister, whose eyes were red for him, and reached out to touch her head.
"Silly girl, don't worry, I'm fine. You won't understand. For men, no matter how hard it is for the woman they like, they should do it. What's more, I do owe them my life.
"
"What happens next?"
This is what Mu Jingyan is most worried about.
"If you lose the competition, they will no longer help you and Wan Ning."
"The reason why they were able to make me lose is because they know best what means they used. In fact, I did not lose. No matter what, I will not give up on Ning'er."
"Brother," Mu Jingyan pulled his brother's sleeve, lowered his head and sobbed, "How about... forget it. With your current status, you don't have to worry about marrying a famous lady, why do you have to be elegant? She is really that good.
Okay?"
Mu Jingrui lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
"There are too many women in this world who are better than her, but so what? No matter how good those people are, they are not her..."
Mu Jingyan suddenly became speechless.
She couldn't figure out how to untie the knot in her brother's heart, maybe...
It can only be Shangguan Wan Ning.
Mu Jingrui rested at home for a while. After his injury improved slightly, he went to the morning court.
When leaving the court, I walked out with my colleagues and saw Shangguan Yue from a distance. I was about to step forward, but someone beat me to it.
The conversation between them struck Mu Jingrui like a thunderbolt.
