The first night they returned to Assistant Minister’s Residence, Nangong Waner tossed and turned in his bed until it was midnight, then said, "I'm really speechless towards myself, I still can't sleep on my bed even after returning home." Nangong Waner was very carefree and happy during those few days at the Duke Palaces. She thought that this was the beginning for her to completely integrate into this era, but she didn't expect that Assistant Minister’s Residence, who had returned to her mind, would be unable to fall asleep while tossing and turning.
It was only until almost dawn that Nangong Waner finally struggled to fall asleep.
During breakfast, Liu Ruo heard from Master Liu that Nangong Waner had returned to Assistant Minister’s Residence, and that in two days, Nangong Waner would be studying with him. Lord Liu continued, "It's time for you to calm down. Although your mother and I only have one daughter, so your arrogance must have increased a bit, but you are also eighteen years old. I plan to arrange a good marriage with your mother in the next few days."
"If that's the case, then Father and Mother would like to raise you for the rest of your life. However, your life is still very long, and you will need someone to accompany you for the rest of your life. Father and Mother will definitely keep their eyes open and help you find a good marriage."
Seeing her mother speak with such sincerity, Liu Ruochen did not say what she wanted to say. She did not retort.
After finishing her meal, Liu Ru could no longer suppress the anxiety in her heart and quickly ran to Assistant Minister’s Residence to talk to Nangong Waner.
Liu Ru was speechless. At this time, Nangong Waner was still sleeping, but there was nothing she could do, she just sat there in Nangong Waner's courtyard flipping through books, and after looking at it for a while, she could no longer sit still, and kicked open Nangong Waner's door.
Nangong Waner muttered a few words, he was a little impatient, he frowned and turned his body, then went back to sleep.
Liu Ru did not have that kind of patience, she quickly walked over and pulled Nan Gong Wen's quilt, patting Nangong Waner hard: "Wake up, wake up, I have something to tell you."
"If you have anything to say, then say it tomorrow. Today, I'm going to sleep for a day." Nangong Waner used all his strength to pull back the blanket in Liu Zhexiu's hands and turned around, leaving his butt and back to Liu Zhiran.
Liu Ruo slapped Nangong Waner twice, "Miss, I can't wait until tomorrow. Get up quickly!"
Nangong Waner was slapped until he felt pain, and struggled up: "Did you nail it with your hand? "You killed me."
"Hurry up and pack up. I'll go to the front yard to wait for you!" Liu Zhenbiao stormed out of the room.
"This girl, does she step on the Wind Fire Wheel all day long?" There was no choice, Nangong Waner could only stand up, and upon hearing the voice, Ju Xiang came in to help Nangong Waner wash and change.
Only then did Nangong Waner sit at the table and eat something, while Liu Ru also moved the chair over and called out to Nangong Waner in a fawning manner, "Gale," when Nangong Waner heard Liu Ru's sudden change in tone, he almost spat out the food he was eating.
"Speak human words." Nangong Waner continued to take a bite of the porridge and rolled his eyes at Liu Zhe.
"Sigh, we'll have dinner this morning. My father and mother laid a trap for me, saying that they would find a good marriage for me in the near future. They said that I'm not young anymore, and that it's time for me to get married."
That's a good thing. My father and mother didn't have Lord Liu's awareness. I'm not young anymore, and I don't want to find a good marriage for me. Really, I'm happy for you. If you get married, I'll definitely prepare a big gift for you." As she said that, Nangong Wan'er realized that she could not take out any big gift, so she added, "Prepare a small gift.
Liu Ru looked at Nangong Waner slanted her eyes, "Get down to business, you better be serious, you know what I do to them …"
Nangong Waner took a bite of his fried bun, and laughed craftily, "To whom? To whom? "
Liu Ruo's face immediately reddened, and said softly, "You know I have feelings for Xiao Ze, but unfortunately … Xiao Ze is interested in you. " As Liu Ru's voice grew softer and softer, Nangong Waner listened attentively, but he could still hear everything clearly.
"Why do you keep saying that Xiao Ze is interested in me? I still think that he is.
"That day at the Duke Palaces, what I told you before, it was completely true that Xiao Ze went back to the Palace a few days ago and mentioned to Master Xiao that he wanted to propose marriage to your Assistant Minister’s Residence. As the number one gongzi of Shangjing City, Xiao Ze, who had an overflowing talent and a pure personality, naturally would not treat marriage as a joke. "Xiao Ze must really like you. I've never seen him like this before." Liu Ruo's tone was calm, and the expression on her face was calm. Her eyes that looked at Nangong Waner did not contain the slightest bit of resentment, jealousy, or even sincerity.
Nangong Waner immediately felt a blockage in his heart, "So it's like this, you're really the best girl I've ever met."
When Liu Ru heard it, she laughed: "Then why don't you give Xiao Ze to me?"
Nangong Waner rolled his eyes and continued to eat, "I originally didn't have any feelings for him, furthermore, I have..." Nangong Waner suddenly realized that he was about to say the wrong thing and stopped.
"What do you have?" Liu Ru walked over and asked in confusion.
"Am I that blind?" Nangong Waner was embarrassed and quickly covered up.
"Xiao Ze is the most outstanding person in Shangjing City, how can he not have eyes? I think you are the one who does not have eyes."
Nangong Waner suddenly thought of something and went closer to Liu Zhe, "What do you think, why don't we force ourselves on him? If you directly cook the cooked rice, someone with Xiao Ze's character would definitely be responsible for you. How is it? "
Nangong Waner thought that Liu Ye was in agreement with him and said complacently, "If you think that Xiao Ze is strong, and that you are not strong enough, you can consider taking the medicine. Sigh, I will make a plan, what say it?" Liu Ru looked at Nangong Waner, a little speechless. This time, Liu Ru really believed that Nangong Waner had no intention to help her.
"Say something? This little girl is embarrassed, right? No problem, I'll go buy medicine for you, I'll set up a trap for you, I'll stand guard for you, what do you say? Isn't she a girl? " Nangong Waner thought that Liu He would definitely be moved to the point where he couldn't stand it, and then cry in gratitude while hugging him.
However, she did not expect Liu Ru to laugh, as she looked at Nangong Waner with shining eyes and said, "Wan-wen, love is not a matter of hard request or charity, it is only a matter of course. It should be as natural as the wind blowing under the clear sky, and it should be as full of hope as the light in the ancient city."
Lord Liu and his wife only had one child and they had always been treated as the apple of their eyes. Whether it was in public or in private, Lord Liu had always said, "Our family is the best child in the world." Liu Ruyue was very energetic and restless, and her personality was also very simple and straightforward. Although it could be considered a piece of jade, there were a lot of talented women in Shangjing, and she was "the best child".
It was not the first time that Nangong Waner lamented to Lord Liu, but today, Liu Zhe anxiously found an idea on how to marry Xiao Ze. After he came up with a rotten idea, Liu Zhe's reaction shocked Nangong Waner, "If she really is the best child in the world", Nangong Waner could not help but think in his heart.
