The two of them took a seat in a very prestigious restaurant in the city, An Ning immediately called Xiao Er and asked a few words before finalizing the meal, the breakfast in the prince's mansion was really not to her appetite, she could only barely drink a few mouthfuls of porridge, and now her stomach has made a serious protest. Now that Ah Yan and Ling Xiao are not around, she can only scavenge other delicacies to temporarily satisfy her stomach. And when the dishes were served, An Ning almost ate them with a gesture of impatience.

Ling Mowei watched quietly throughout the whole process, looking at the woman's leisurely posture, looking at her lively and not quite the same as the rumored, "County Lord...... Do you like food very much?" it wasn't that she asked too much, but it was really that the county lord of Qingning showed great interest in food, like a greedy child, which completely refreshed her perception of her.

An Ning looked up slightly and saw that the woman was looking at her with an extremely complicated gaze, saying that it was complicated because of ...... There are surprises, disbelief, doubts, and even regrets. Why do you have such emotions, An Ning is a little incomprehensible.

"It's just that you didn't eat enough in the morning, why don't you eat?"

"Oh, well, I'm not hungry, the county lord eats. Ling Mo hurriedly responded, originally thinking that he could finally start a conversation with this, but the next second, he saw the woman nodding and happily began to solve the food.

“……”

An Ning finally put down his chopsticks after killing a bowl of fresh and delicious shrimp meat, and looked at the person opposite who was silent for a long time and was about to collapse, "Say, you must have something to say." ”

Ling Mo glanced at the dishes on the table that had almost been swept away, his heart was full of shock, he couldn't believe that seemingly delicate woman could eat so much......!" Actually, there was a time when I didn't have a very good impression of you. ”

"It's normal, I've always believed that most of the people on the mainland hate me. An Ning replied unsurprisingly.

Mo Wei smiled lightly when he heard this, and his eyebrows were a little more relaxed, "At first, I still admired you very much, because I grew up in the praise and admiration of others for you since I was a child, I was thinking about how there could be such a perfect and powerful woman in the world, until I met you by chance in Mingguo a few years ago, I went to play, and you didn't seem to pay attention to the surroundings." ”

An Ning leaned back in her chair and listened carefully, her instinct telling her that the story would never be so simple.

"That chance encounter was a complete glimpse, and I began to believe the rumors, but then I started to hate you again, do you know why?" she smiled at An Ning a little embarrassed at this, "because everyone sees you alone, because you and the other women have become dull, and so am I." No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't catch up with you, and everyone said I couldn't compare to you at all, so I really hated you during that time. ”

An Ning just smiled and looked at her, this girl's eyes were clear and clear when she said those words, not at all jealous and hideous like hers, she was just complaining, and all she had to do was to be a peaceful listener.

"But when I see you today, I realize that I was too foolish to think before. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Huang Anning, you can't be hated at all. Mo Wei looked at her earnestly, this woman had a strange light on her, although not as warm as the sun, dazzling enough to be noticed at first glance, but enough to attract people to approach. She was amazed when she first saw this legendary woman in the temple, and when she looked at her with a smile, her heart was only satisfied.

This bright and warm woman, except for being amazed by her, can't be jealous at all.

"Then I'll take it as a compliment. An Ning smiled slyly.

Mo Wei also smiled, her face was full of relaxation, "Thank you for coming all the way to treat my queen mother." ”

"It doesn't matter. An Ning smiled indifferently, and then thought of something and asked, "By the way, do you know what else to eat here?"

"......" Mo Wei glared and asked with difficulty, "Hasn't the county lord eaten yet?"

"No, I'm a picky person, and I have two people around me who cook very good food, but unfortunately they are not there, so ...... You get the idea. An Ning smiled, "And you don't have to call me the county lord all the time, just call me by my name." ”

Mo Wei nodded heavily and smiled happily: "An Ning, we will be very good friends!"

Mo Wei's main purpose is to get to know Huang Anning better, after spending a good lunch, Mo Wei left the restaurant very satisfied, and An Ning obviously wanted to go around for a while, so he asked Qing Zhi to go back to the prince's mansion to inform him, and he took Lan Hui to play around the city. It happened that a ring was set up in the center of the market, and a row of people sat on the high platform, and they heard that it was a competition to recruit relatives. An Ning looked at a very delicate woman above, wearing a light purple dress, simple and elegant, willow eyebrows and green mist, dansha at the sandalwood mouth, a pair of autumn eyes with bright stars, and her demeanor was very elegant.

A few days ago, in the monarchy, it was to throw hydrangeas to recruit relatives, and now it is a competition to recruit relatives, An Ning thought that could it be that the recent women all hate to marry? It just so happens that there is a teahouse opposite the ring, and standing on the second floor can take the panoramic view into your eyes, and the voices of those people are also in your ears word for word.

"I'm not mistaken, is that Shen Qingru, the eldest lady of the Shen family?"

"That's right, it's her, there aren't many stunning beauties like her in the capital!"

"God, that's the eldest lady of the Shen family! The first beauty in the capital, how can she compete to recruit relatives?"

"With the identity and beauty of the eldest lady of the Shen family, it is naturally not necessary to do this, but I heard that the eldest lady doesn't care about the noble sons who come to the door to ask for marriage, but she likes a chivalrous man who wanders the rivers and lakes, and almost eloped with that person, the old man of the Shen family is angry but has to make this decision, you see, most of the noble sons in the capital are here!"

"Tut-tut, she is a different woman, but unfortunately she is in the aristocracy, and I am afraid that she will become a victim of marriage. ”

"Who said it wasn't, you see that Miss Shen has lost a lot of weight, and there is no smile on her face, I think she has suffered a lot for this, and she is pitiful......."

All the conversation was clearly in An Ning's ears, and she looked at the silent woman on the high platform, her eyes suddenly dyed with a little sympathy, and the saddest thing was that her happiness was in the hands of others.

Shen Qingru sat quietly in her seat, hanging her head slightly, the green silk slipped from her shoulders to cover most of her face, and she couldn't see her expression, but her hands turned white due to excessive exertion, and her bloodless lips all showed her sadness and helplessness. There were constant fierce fights and cheers in the ring, and her father was obviously in high spirits, but she didn't care about anything, and the only person she cared about was now unknown, and she was forced to marry another person, a stranger she didn't love at all.

Shen Rulin obviously noticed her daughter's abnormality, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Qingru, today is a good day, don't be sad, smile more!"

Shen Qingru clenched her fingers, her eyes were already full of tears, but she gritted her teeth to prevent them from slipping down. Taking a deep breath to force back her tears, she responded coldly, "Father, I can't laugh at it. ”
