Chapter 49 The General Loves the Village Girl (19)
"My maid has a deep affection for you, Duan Xinghui. As the master, I really don't want to let my maid down. After all, she has been serving me for so many years. I hope you can treat my maid well."
Ning Shu said to Duan Xinghui. She could clearly see that Duan Xinghui's serious mask was cracked. He was stunned and seemed a little unbelievable. Even Mrs. Duan looked at Ning Shu strangely.
"Princess?" Yuan Dong was really surprised and scared. She was surprised that she could follow General Duan, but she was scared of the princess's attitude and her inner thoughts being known by the princess. In short, Yuan Dong's thoughts were complicated.
"I will not leave the princess. Please don't drive me away." Yuan Dong knelt in front of Ning Shu, looking like a master and servant with a deep affection.
It also depends on whether Ning Shu is willing to act with her. Ning Shu said lightly: "You are now a member of the Duan Mansion. You must serve the Duan family well in the future."
Yuan Dong finally kowtowed to Ning Shu helplessly and stood next to Duan Xinghui.
"Princess, I'm sorry I can't accept it. I already have a loved one in my heart, and I can't accept anyone else." Duan Xinghui even forgot the injury on his arm at this time, and bowed and clasped his fists to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu's expression was indifferent, "What does it have to do with me that you have a loved one?"
Duan Xinghui:...
I don't know why, Duan Xinghui found that the current Princess Jiahui is really difficult to communicate.
Ning Shu turned around and went back to the mansion, ignoring these people.
In the end, Duan Xinghui accepted Yuan Dong very reluctantly, and returned to the Duan Mansion with Madam Duan in disgrace.
When the group returned to the mansion, Erya was waiting at the door. She was wearing brightly colored silk and satin, which made her face look even darker. The civet cat didn't look like a prince in the prince's clothes, but rather funny.
Yuandong's eyes were filled with deep contempt and disdain, and he met Erya's eyes. Facing Yuandong's eyes, Erya's expression was a little embarrassed, and she turned around and ran into the mansion, crying while running, and didn't even notice the injury on Duan Xinghui's arm.
The woman keenly sensed Yuan Dong's hostility towards her, and her own vigilance and hatred towards Yuan Dong.
Duan Xinghui saw that his beloved was sad, and hurriedly chased after him, completely disregarding everything else, very reckless, just like a young boy.
"Xinghui, wound." Madam Duan shouted to Duan Xinghui. The two of them were chasing each other in Duan's mansion, and Madam Duan felt so annoyed.
"General..." Yuan Dong saw Duan Xinghui running towards the village girl without thinking. In addition to being shocked, Yuan Dong was also very jealous. Why did that ugly girl do that? Why?
Without Yuan Dong by her side, Ning Shu casually promoted a maid from the princess's mansion and asked her to follow her. In fact, Ning Shu didn't need anyone to serve her. Three meals a day were delivered by the kitchen staff.
Ning Shu was either practicing martial arts or practicing martial arts. She whipped her whip every day, thinking about practicing her whip skills to perfection. Ning Shu had a hunch that she might really go to the battlefield. She
had to show her value to Li Wen, which was more valuable than marrying a princess.
Ning Shu put away the whip, took the handkerchief from the maid, wiped the sweat from his face and hands, and asked the little maid, "What's the news from the Duan Mansion?" The maidservant was called Xiaohong. She was delicate and not very pretty, but she was very clever. When she heard Ning Shu's question, she said quickly, "Yuan Dong and Er Ya are having a big fight right now."
"Duan Xinghui is having a hard time being caught between two women." Xiaohong said.
Ning Shu smiled. This was the effect she wanted. Why should she take the blame in front? Without her, she would deal with Er Ya in front and see what Yuan Dong and Madam Duan would do.
It was funny to say that without her, a noble female partner, who would help them complete this extraordinary relationship. The love between Duan Xinghui and Er Ya was based on the reputation of the original owner, Princess Jia Hui.
Now Ning Shu will send Yuan Dong over directly, and you guys can go and play by yourselves.
Duan Xinghui had a really bad time during this period, and it was very bad. He felt very tired. Er Ya had become very sensitive and was more and more attached to him. Looking at her innocent face, he was full of anxiety and worry.
Duan Xinghui said many times that he would not let her down, but Erya was still uneasy. In addition, there was Yuandong fanning the flames. Duan Xinghui had never been so tired and felt exhausted.
But Yuandong was from the princess's mansion. He had no official position now. If he really listened to Erya and drove Yuandong out, Princess Jiahui would get angry and he would not be able to eat good fruits.
Erya saw Duan Xinghui's attitude and started to make trouble again. Erya came from the countryside and started to make a scene. The whole Duan Mansion was shocked. Duan Xinghui felt embarrassed and helpless.
Without the strong resistance of Princess Jiahui, the contradiction between Duan Xinghui and Erya, and the class contradiction, came out. Duan Xinghui was a nobleman who grew up in Kyoto after all. He was really not used to such a scene.
Erya was panicked. She abandoned everything and came to the capital with Duan Xinghui. Duan Xinghui was now the only life-saving straw in her life and must be held tightly. The more impatient Duan Xinghui was with her, the more panicked Erya was in her heart and the more she made trouble to prove her existence.
Duan Xinghui sometimes doubted, is this Erya the simple Erya? Duan Xinghui was heartbroken, but he still patiently comforted Erya, but he was a little tired.
Mrs. Duan originally wanted to watch Yuandong and Erya fight, but seeing Erya's unruly appearance, she had to find someone to teach Erya the rules. If this continues, I am afraid that the Duan Mansion will become the laughing stock of the entire capital.
The son gave up the princess and insisted on such a village girl. People outside said that Duan Xinghui's brain was full of lard. If this continued, Mrs. Duan would not dare to go to the Duan family's ancestors. It was a sin. Erya, who
was forced to learn the rules, made trouble again. She was very unwilling to learn. She had to pay attention to eating, sleeping, and even walking. These made Erya at a loss and felt very painful.
Erya grew up in the countryside. Some things are deeply rooted in her bones. It is extremely uncomfortable to learn the rules, just like breaking her wings. The painful process can be imagined.
Duan Xinghui was also in pain. In his heart, Erya was free and unrestrained, but now she had to become a product of rules and teachings like all the women in Kyoto. But on one side was his beloved woman, and on the other was his mother who had taught him since he was a child.
Duan Xinghui was too lazy to go back to the Duan Mansion. He would go out to drink whenever he had nothing to do. But as time went on, every time he went out, he had to face other people's strange eyes, as if they were looking at a fool.
Facing such eyes, Duan Xinghui couldn't help but waver in his heart. It was his fault to give up Princess Jiahui, especially since the person who used to be servile in front of him was now arrogant in front of him. He felt particularly strong at this time. Was he really wrong?
