Chapter 121: He's Not Biological
"Qianqian and I just have similar personalities, so we want to be friends. It's okay with everything else, and I don't want to have no friends because of these things. ”
Li Yinhong pursed her lips, reached out and rubbed Xue Ning's head: "It's okay to do what you're happy about, I'll send you home." ”
"Good. Xue Ning nodded, and the two of them walked together in the direction of the Guogong Mansion, "What did you do today, why did you appear here at this time?"
Li Yinhong stopped at the vendor on the side, picked up a hairpin, and sent it to Xue Ning: "Try it?"
Looking at the hairpin in front of him, Xue Ning nodded and sent his head over: "You can wear it for me." ”
Li Yinhong smiled dotingly, and reached out to put the hairpin on Xue Ning's head: "It's very beautiful, buy it." ”
As he spoke, Li Yinhong paid the silver. Xue Ning fiddled with the hairpin on his head, in a good mood, and forgot the question he asked before.
Back at the Guogong Mansion, Xue Ning had just walked in, and saw the Duchess Huguo sitting in the pavilion next to her, drinking tea. Xue Ning smiled and walked over: "Grandmother, why did you come out today?"
"It's boring to stay in the house, so I just go out for a walk. Where have you been, coming back so late?" saw her granddaughter with a loving smile on her face.
Xue Ning sat down opposite the Duchess of Huguo, picked up the teapot, and filled the teacup in front of her: "I went to the restaurant today and had a meal with Chen Qianqian. Grandmother, do you know Chen Qianqian?"
"Chen Qianqian?" Hearing Chen Qianqian's name, the Duchess of the Protector's face froze slightly, "Why did you suddenly get so close to the people of the Chen family?"
Looking at the face of the Duchess of Huguo, Xue Ning suddenly felt as if he had done something wrong, and the smile on his face suddenly retracted: "I met by a coincidence before, and I became familiar with it as soon as I came and went." Grandmother, am I doing something wrong?"
"I didn't do anything wrong, it's just that the status of this Chen family is extremely high above the court, I'm afraid that if you get too close to the Chen family, people will think that you are deliberately approaching the Chen family. ”
After listening to the words of the Duchess of Huguo, Xue Ning understood what she meant, pursed her lips and chuckled: "Chen Qianqian and I are only closer because of our similar personalities." It has nothing to do with anything else, grandmother, don't worry, I will be careful in the future and let these things happen. ”
"You have always been careful in what you do, and grandmother is relieved that you will handle these things yourself. After observing during this time, the Duchess of the Protector also found that her granddaughter was a very smart person and very measured.
In this way, in the future, the property of the Guogong Mansion will be handed over to her and Song Hong, and the Duchess of the Protector will be able to feel more at ease.
"Grandmother, I still have one thing in mind today, and I want to discuss it with you, would you like to talk about it with my grandmother?"
Xue Ning nodded, with a puzzled look: "What does grandmother want to tell me?"
"Your brother Hong'er is now at the age when it is time to get married. Although he is not the biological child of the Guogong Mansion, he has also been raised in the Guogong Mansion since he was a child, and has done a lot of things for the Guogong Mansion.
If there was no Xue Ning, the Duchess of Huguo would naturally find an excellent marriage for Song Hong, which would also make Song Hong more comfortable in the court in the future.
But now that Xue Ning has returned, she must consider Xue Ning's situation. If Song Hong finds an excellent marriage, this granddaughter-in-law's family background is too good, I am afraid that it will cause some shackles to Xue Ning in the future. But if it is not good, the Duchess of Huguo also feels sorry for Song Hong's efforts for so many years.
"Grandmother, granddaughter thinks that there is something wrong with what you said. Xue Ning pondered for a while and spoke.
When the Duchess of Huguo heard this, she thought about what she had just said, but she didn't realize that she was saying something wrong: "Then tell me, what did grandmother say wrong just now?"
"Although Brother Song Hong is not the biological child of the Guogong Mansion, his surname is Song, and he is the child of the Song family. Since his grandmother wanted to choose a marriage for him, she should choose the best one. ”
Duchess Huguo didn't expect Xue Ning to say this, and she was a little surprised for a while: "Do you know, why does grandmother consider what kind of marriage to choose for your brother?"
"Grandmother is afraid, in the future, my brother will hold the Guogong Mansion in his hands, and it will not be good for his granddaughter, right?"
The Duchess of the Protector did not deny it, and nodded: "Now the property of the Guogong Mansion is in the hands of Hong'er, if his wife has a good family background, I am only afraid that in the future, you will not be able to take everything you deserve from the Guogong Mansion." ”
"Actually, I think that this Guogong Mansion should be my brother's, not mine. Over the years, the Guogong Mansion has been able to be so good, all because of my brother, and I have never done anything. As soon as I came back like this, I took the Guogong Mansion back into my hands, which was unfair to my brother. ”
Duchess Huguo frowned slightly: "Ning'er, you are the only descendant of the Guogong Mansion, and this Guogong Mansion is naturally for you." You have been suffering outside for so many years, and your grandmother will never let you continue to suffer in the days to come. ”
"Grandmother, I have already married the prince, and I will be the princess in the future. The princess's life, no matter how it is, will not be uncomfortable. And my brother has been with you for so many years, what kind of person he is, can you still not know?"
The Duchess of Huguo watched Song Hong grow up, so she naturally knew what kind of person he was. If it weren't for this, the Protector would not be so relieved to hand over the property of the Guogong Mansion to Song Hong.
But even when she looks at the children who have grown up, the Duchess of the Protector still can't be completely relieved. After all, Xue Ning has already wandered outside and has suffered so much, she will definitely not be able to let Xue Ning suffer a little more in the future.
Xue Ning's face froze slightly, and she opened her mouth to say something, but in the face of the Duchess of the Protector, she didn't know what else she could say.
This is because she was exiled outside before, suffered, and felt guilty in her heart, so she wanted to arrange Xue Ning's future days, so that she would no longer suffer and could live a carefree life.
Although Xue Ning understood that Song Hong would not do bad things, but looking at the Duchess of the Protectorate, she didn't know how to justify. After all, no matter what, no matter who it is, the Duchess of the Protector will not be completely at ease.
Xue Ning sighed lightly, pursed his lips and smiled, and didn't say anything more. Turning his head slightly, Xue Ning saw Song Hong standing not far away. He was standing behind a pillar, hard to spot, but not far from here.
Her heart was filled with some bad thoughts, but I was afraid that Song Hong had heard all the words of the Duchess of Huguo and her just now.
"Grandmother, I still have something to do, so I won't drink tea with you, I'll go first. After speaking, Xue Ning stood up and walked in the direction where Song Hong was standing.
