Chapter 124: Protecting My Sister
"Thank you for your help."
Xie Ning thanked the land, but the shopkeeper Du only shook his head slightly, and when he saw that she was busy with things, he inquired: "Miss, do you want to come here for dinner?" β
Xie Ning nodded, and said bluntly without concealment: "I did make an appointment with two friends today. But it's still early, and they must not have arrived yet. "Xie Ning is an hour ahead of schedule today, and Gu Qingyun is used to arriving at her unclear, but Wei Qingcheng has always arrived on time around the appointed hour.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Du naturally said with concern: "I don't know who the young lady has made an appointment with, if the other party arrives first, you don't have to wait here." β
That's right, not to mention that there are more and more guests in the lobby downstairs, and staying at the door will inevitably disturb Wangxian Lou to do business. She still went in and waited. Xie Ning made up his mind, so he told the other party with the hope that it was possible, "The person who met me today is a young lady surnamed Gu, and a young lady surnamed Wei. β
As soon as she said this, the shopkeeper Du flashed with thought in his eyes, and after a short memory, he looked up at Xie Ning and asked with a smile: "Is the surname Xie Miss?" Mr. Wei and Miss Wei are waiting upstairs. β
What the? Wei Qingyang is also here? The surprise that appeared in Xie Ning's heart was relieved in a moment. The birthday banquet of the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of twists and turns, and Wei Qingyang was anxious to protect his sister, how could he easily stay out of the matter.
Naturally, with a shocked look on his face, Xie Ning nodded slightly at Shopkeeper Du, and followed the guy summoned by the other party to walk upstairs.
From this guy's mouth, Xie Ning learned that the wing room they were in had been predetermined by Gu Qingyun, but she hadn't come yet.
"Knock knock". With two soft knocks, the door immediately opened, and after the man turned sideways to avoid it, Shainin walked in.
At a glance at the Wei brothers and sisters sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, Xie Ning couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and took the initiative to greet the two: "Master Wei, Allure." As soon as the words fell, he sat down in the seat next to Wei Qingcheng.
She didn't mean to put on a demure shelf, but after hearing about the marriage between the two governments from Mama Qin, no matter who came before or after. Facing Wei Qingyang. She deliberately maintained a detached attitude, in case Wei Qingcheng was cranky and came to match them again.
Seeing her sit down, Wei Qingyang brought a cup of tea from his hand. "This is the new dragon well this summer. Miss Xie might as well try it. β
Shainin smiled politely. I didn't twist it, I picked up the tea cup very happily and took a sip. Only then did he symbolically praise: "It is indeed sweet and sweet." β
Wei Qingcheng immediately smiled, raised his eyes to look at Xie Ning and said, "A few days ago, I happened to have a batch of new tea at home, if Sister Xie is free, would it be good to come and be a guest another day?" β
Although he heard the expectation in Wei Tingcheng's words, Xie Ning had concerns, so he couldn't respond directly, so he had to respond vaguely: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days, let's talk about it then." But she had made up her mind in her heart, if Wei Tingcheng invited her again, she would have to find an excuse to refuse the matter.
Wei Tingcheng didn't know what Xie Ning was thinking, so she just nodded lightly, and then continued to speak: "I listen to my sister, when my sister is free, when she comes to look for me." β
Seeing that Wei Chengcheng had no intention of forcing it, Xie Ning's heart was suddenly relieved. Unexpectedly, as soon as her voice fell, she got up suddenly, bowed to Xie Ning Yingying, and said in a solemn tone: "On the tenth day of the first month, thanks to my sister for arriving in time. Otherwise, Allure really doesn't know what to do in the future, and he hasn't seen each other afterwards, so Allure has to thank him in person today. β
It might as well be that Wei Qingcheng acted like this, Xie Ning subconsciously reached out to help her up, and said anxiously: "If you look into it, will King Xuan target you, or is it because of me." If you insist on thanking each other again, I will be even more ashamed. This matter started because of me, and if I hadn't affected you, how could you have suffered this unwarranted disaster? β
Seeing this, Wei Tingcheng immediately raised his head, shook his head heavily, his little face was flushed, but he didn't know what to say for a while, and it took a long time before he spoke, "It was my carelessness and negligence that I was taken advantage of, and it has nothing to do with Sister Xie." Don't blame yourself, sister. β
Xie Ning couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, while motioning for her to sit back in place, while secretly considering the wording, and was about to say something to explain, Wei Qingyang's voice came from his ears, and he couldn't help but turn his head.
But seeing a warm smile on Wei Qingyang's face, he slowly spoke: "Allure is very right, Miss Xie doesn't have to blame herself. At that time, I had heard Allure talk about it, if you didn't arrive in time, Allure and King Xuan would be alone, but I was afraid that the reputation would be difficult to protect. What's more, you covered her up many times afterwards, Miss Xie is so good-hearted, don't you still deserve a thank you from our Wei State Mansion? β
Not wanting to become the benefactor of the entire Wei Mansion because of this matter, Xie Ning felt a little helpless in his heart, but looking at Wei Qingyang's serious expression, he could only respond aloud: "I have always been good friends with Allure, although we have known each other for a short time, we are already sisters. It is really reasonable to relieve her, and Wei Gongzi really doesn't have to care too much. β
"Okay," as if seeing the discomfort in Xie Ning's heart, Wei Qingyang didn't bring her any more high hats, but his voice couldn't help but show a little joy.
Now that he had talked about this matter, Xie Ning couldn't help but think of Qin Xi's interlocking layout, and before Gu Qingyun arrived, he immediately asked: "By the way, I remember that Allure was called away by a servant girl in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, saying that you have something to inquire about, Gongzi." I wonder if this is true or not? β
Wei Qingyang's eyes flashed, as if he was hesitating how to speak. Seeing his embarrassed face, Xie Ning couldn't help but feel a stagnation in his heart, suspecting that the Prime Minister was involved. At this moment, I heard Wei Qingyang apologize: "It is true that I called someone to find Allure, but I didn't want to make her meet King Xuan and be frightened." β
Xie Ning's expression moved, and he comforted him: "Fortunately, it's just a false alarm, and it's not a big deal." β
"Yes," Wei Tingcheng also echoed, "Brother, look, I'm not doing well now." β
Hearing this, Wei Qingyang smiled slightly, reached out and touched Wei Qingcheng's head, "That's right, it's okay." You don't know how worried I was when I heard that you and King Xuan were by the lakeβ"
"Brother!" Wei Tingcheng shouted, which suddenly made her brother's voice pause, Xie Ning looked at the sudden change of expressions of the two, and couldn't help but skip an eyebrow, keenly aware that the situation was not good.
In her impression, Wei Qingcheng was in front of people, and she had never said anything so loudly, let alone her brother Wei Qingyang, who had always relied on her. What's more, the expression on her face will not be fake, the anxiety in her heart, Xie Ning can already see clearly.
There was an eerie silence in the room for a moment, Xie Ning didn't know what was going on, although he was suspicious, but because he was involved in the other party's family affairs, he didn't ask anything. (To be continued.) )
