Chapter 233: Not Fighting, But Getting Beaten
Translator: 549690339
Madam Wenren saw how gentle and agreeable she was and grew more fond of her.
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for your letter then. Don’t disappoint .”
“I will seriously think about it.”
After seeing Madam Wenren off, Jiang Ning went to visit Wenren Zong.
Upon waking up, Wenren Zong opened his eyes to find Jiang Ning sitting by his bedside.
His heart felt ward: “I never thought that getting hurt could fulfill my wish so soon.”
With dicine in hand, Jiang Ning smiled and asked: “What wish does Thirteen have?”
“To wake up to the sight of Ningning every day.”
“One would get tired of it eventually.”
“Not .”
“At first, it might be fresh and exciting, but after a year or two, if soone doesn’t get tired of it, that person must be extraordinary.” Jiang Ning handed him a bowl, “Take your dicine first.”
Wenren Zong sat up, leaned against the pillow, and asked, “Has mother and the rest left?”
“They’ve all gone back.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Why are you apologizing to ?”
“You must have been frightened by them today, right?” Wenren Zong drank the dicine and put down the bowl, “They didn’t co here to bla . They just found it amusing that I fought for a woman, so they ca to watch.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “The Thirteen they ntioned is quite different from the one I know.”
Wenren Zong looked a bit embarrassed, “When I’m working outside as a governnt official, especially when I’m investigating cases, I must be authoritative to keep those under in line.”
“You really don’t know any martial arts?”
“I don’t.” Wenren Zong admitted, sowhat ashad, “Eldest Sister is right; I’ve never fought with anyone.”
“No wonder my sisters were so happy.”
“Today wasn’t really a fight, I was just beaten by the Prince of Yu.”
Jiang Ning chuckled, “You seem quite accepting of it.”
“What else can I do? Should I deny getting beaten?” Wenren Zong laughed, “Anyway, I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you.”
“There’s no folly. I’m the one who should feel guilty.”
“Ningning, don’t feel guilty.” Wenren Zong took her hand and held it, “I’m really happy that I could do this for you.”
Jiang Ning patted his hand and smiled: “You should rest well. It will take at least three to five days of quiet recuperation. Madam Wenren didn’t take you away because she wanted you to stay and recover.”
“I know what she’s thinking. Tell , Ningning, did my mother talk to you alone and pressure you to agree to the marriage?”
“She didn’t pressure , she just asked.”
“I knew it.” Wenren Zong frowned, “Ningning, I won’t use my family to pressure you nor will I force you to make a decision because I got hurt. All of this is my own choice.”
Jiang Ning smiled, “I know. You should just rest and don’t worry. Your smart brain must recover well; otherwise, Chang’an City will be short of a great detective.”
She pulled her hand from his grasp, watched him lie down, and then turned to leave in her wheelchair.
Wenren Zong lay quietly. A mont later, his servant Sanli ca in and asked respectfully, “How are you feeling now, sir?”
“It’s nothing, just a skin injury.”
Wenren Zong sat up, his expression cold.
Completely different from his gentleness and tenderness towards Jiang Ning earlier.
Sanli said, “As long as you’re alright, I can be at ease.”
Wenren Zong asked, “What’s happening outside?”
“The news of this incident has spread, causing quite a stir in the court. The imperial censors and ministers have denounced Prince of Yu, and His Majesty is furious. He has summoned the Prince of Yu to the palace for reprimand, and punishnt is inevitable..”
