91. If I can save one, I will save one
An Ning originally wanted to discuss with Ling Moxing how to deal with this matter, to see if he could find Pei Xu, whose whereabouts were unknown, through his forces, otherwise it would be okay to mediate directly, but he was the crown prince here, and no one should dare to disobey his orders. However, when she took people back to the Prince's Mansion, before she could explain to Ling Moxing, she saw him sitting in the hall, and sitting next to him was Shen Rulin, father and son, and several entourages.
"Ahh
Shen Rulin glanced at them, his eyes flashed slightly, very good, the man in Tsing Yi was not there.
Ling Moxing looked at the woman who was coming slowly, and immediately put down the paperwork in his hand and walked in front of her, but before he could ask, he saw the woman raise his eyebrows slightly and look at him and asked, "That person has already told you all the situation?"
"Yes. Ling Moxing bowed his head, lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly, "But I want to hear your words more." β
Shen Rulin's face changed suddenly, "His Royal Highness the Princeβ"
Ling Moxing raised his hand to signal him to be quiet, but An Ning laughed softly, the laughter was very joyful, and the brilliance flowing between his eyebrows made Ling Moxing reluctant to look away. She clasped her hands behind her back and said lazily, "I think he has already said it, so I don't have to emphasize anything, the rhetoric is very simple, that is, you don't believe what he says." β
Ling Moxing instantly laughed, turned sideways and asked her to sit down first.
"Don't slander the old man in Qingning, what the truth is, the county lord must know it. Shen Rulin narrowed his eyes, and his gloomy gaze shot straight at the woman opposite.
"Parents just want their children to be happy, but in my opinion, you don't think so, Shen Rulin. An Ning sat upright in his seat, his slightly raised eyes with a little more chill than usual.
Shen Rulin's heart was shocked, and he was a little more scared than he had ever been, thinking that he had been crisscrossing the mall for many years, what kind of wind and waves, bloody scenes had never been seen, he had always faced it calmly, so he was feared by many businessmen, but now he was afraid of the eyes of a delicate woman.
Huang Anning, what kind of woman is this?
Shen Qingyuan coughed lightly, looking at the woman who had made him think about it for many years, his longing eyes were a little more complicated at this time, he had imagined countless possibilities for their encounter, but who would have thought that in the end they would meet in this way?" "County Lord, you may have some misunderstanding about this matter. β
"Tell me about it. β
"Since I was a child, my father has doted on my sister very much, because she is the only woman in the family, my father has an almost doting attitude towards my sister. Shen Qingyuan looked at her and said slowly in a calmer voice.
"Even so, you should respect her own ideas, forcibly arrange a marriage for her to marry someone she doesn't love, you don't call the woman Chengfeng, you are forced to buy and sell!" Ling Mo said indignantly, her delicate face flushed.
Shen Qingyuan glanced at her and frowned slightly, but because of the woman's status as a princess, he didn't say anything after all.
"A woman must obey her father or brother before leaving the court, and after she marries, she must obey her husband. Here, women are nothing more than an accessory to power, a victim of marriage. An Ning said lightly, raised her eyes and looked at them indifferently, "That's all you want to say." β
Everyone looked at the indifferent woman in a daze, and couldn't say a word, they didn't seem to have paid attention to this, but she was right, the status of women was indeed very low and there was no freedom, and it could even be said that they were at the mercy of men. But no one has ever mentioned this in public, except for her, this woman's focus is always to the point and unique.
Ling Moxing looked at her gloomily, although her temperament has always been gentle and shallow, and she is basically shallow and detached from outsiders, but she will never sit there quietly like now, the smile on her face is extremely alienated, making him feel an unprecedented sense of distance, and a hopeless despair suddenly hits his heart. Suddenly thinking of the name she had muttered in her dream, her eyes became dim, what would she look like in front of Feng Lingxiao? Would she also show an ethereal, unpredictable look like this in front of that person?
"County Lord, we have a marriage contract with the Gu family first, and Qingru herself is also willing, and now that we have blatantly breached the contract and swept the face of the Gu family, we can't afford this consequence. Shen Rulin spoke heavily, quite warningly.
"Dad, the reason why I agreed to get married, don't you know the reason?" Shen Qingru gritted her teeth and spoke, her eyes were faintly filled with tears, which made people feel pity when they saw it.
Shen Rulin's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Qingru, now is not the time to mess around! Hurry up and go home with us!"
Shen Qingru shook her head with a bleak expression, and said a little choked: "No, you never know what I really want. β
Shen Rulin obviously didn't want to talk nonsense, so he looked directly at Ling Moxing in the upper seat, and said in a very earnest tone: "The old man also asks His Highness to be the master!"
Ling Moxing glanced at the man in front of him who bowed his hand, turned his gaze to the woman with an indifferent expression, pursed his lips and asked, "An Ning, what do you think?"
An Ning raised his eyes slightly and looked at him and said lightly: "Mo Xing, if I can save one such a woman, I will save one." β
She is not so great, to be the savior of all beings, she is not an omnipotent hero, but she can still do more or less with the help within the scope of her ability.
The first time she called his name, he couldn't help but feel a little more distressed while he was happy. Although her face was light, she was powerless, and people couldn't help but want to hug her into her arms and comfort her, and the scale in her heart had inadvertently tilted towards her. "Go back first, and the temple will give you an answer later. β
This sentence was said to Shen Rulin's father and son, and the tone was resolute and did not allow a trace of resistance, and their expressions changed greatly when they heard the words, and they were just about to speak, but they were interrupted by Ling Moxing's cold voice, "Okay, send off!"
In desperation, Shen Rulin had no choice but to leave with someone, and after leaving the prince's mansion, Shen Qingyuan was worried: "Dad, what should we do now?"
I didn't expect the two of them to have such a deep friendship. Shen Rulin narrowed his eyes and looked at the front deeply, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had always been empty-eyed and resolute, would listen to Huang Anning's words, that attitude was obviously biased in favor of her, what a mistake......!
"The queen has been in a coma for many days, and it was the county lord of Qingning who rescued her, and this prince alone must be treated with courtesy. Shen Qingyuan thought of something again, his eyes flashed and he whispered, "Besides, the Qingning County Lord is extremely charming, I don't know how many people in the world love her, and I heard that even a few of the Canglan Six Absolute People are the same." Dad, I think the crown prince should be one of them. β
Shen Rulin's pupils were shocked, and he groaned, "Judging from Fang Cai's situation, it is very likely, it seems that we still underestimate Huang Anning's ability." Shen Qingyuan was silent, Shen Rulin didn't notice, and just said to himself, "In this way, the prince is very likely to help the emperor be peaceful, and our situation will be very dangerous." β
"What is Father going to do?"
"Let's go back and discuss the countermeasures with the people of the Gu family first, and this marriage will be completed if it doesn't work. Shen Rulin suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, and his eyes flashed with light, "After all, that kid from the Gu family is infatuated with Qingru." β
