Chapter 9: A Night of Panic
"What do you mean by the general's cooperation, aren't you not interested in me?" Jing Ning secretly rejoiced in her heart, this was a rare opportunity, maybe she could really have a chance to regain her freedom. After all, with the ability of a general, it is still very simple to hide the existence of a person in the Jin Kingdom, just like he wants to find a person.
"Naturally, I'm not interested in you, but I don't want anyone to speculate about my life, including the relationship between you and me, so you should understand how to play a good lady, and I will give you a good ending."
"What do you mean by a good lady?"
"It's up to me." Listening to the general's words, she understood that things were really not so simple.
But does she have anything to lose, and then think about it, the general didn't have to negotiate terms with her, although he was so domineering now, but being able to come and negotiate conditions with her was a place to scruple about her.
Scruples about the left family? No, now that he is no longer fighting, he is gradually hiding his edge, and his brother doesn't have to hold on to him, and the contradiction between the two was only limited to the court, and his brother's power was not enough to balance him.
It seems that this matter has something to do with the king, does the general think that he is the king's eyeliner? There is only this kind of statement, Jing Ning is a little happy, she can make good use of this suspicion, and others, she thinks that she should prove her innocence at this time, and for her, it is not necessary, whether it is meticulous or not, she can't escape his prejudice, it is better to use this as a check, talk about the conditions, and protect yourself first.
"I don't have an opinion on what kind of wife I will become as the general's decision, but I want to have everything that the general's wife should have, protect and respect, and I won't do what the general doesn't let me do within three years, but if I am hurt in any way, you have to remember that you are my husband and wife in the past three years, in addition, we are just a formal husband and wife, my request is very simple, I will not spy on the general's life." Jing Ning endured the look she wanted to dodge, and her gaze poked straight up. What did the general not want the king to know?
"Your request is not excessive, yes, I can accept it, but do you really know where the boundaries of my life are?"
"Why did the general say that?"
"When you enter the Yanzi Garden today, you should know who this once belonged to." The general's rebuke made Jing Ning's just calm mood shake again, and he had invisibly broken into the general's memory.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't think it was so thorough, the collection of books here is really beautiful."
The general didn't expect that the woman who was still vibrating just now, now he immediately softened, and he became more and more curious about this woman, and he couldn't bear to be fierce, looking at his low-eyed appearance always felt that this was still a child, a child who had taken on too much, and the past also came to mind.
"This used to be Chu Nian's favorite place, you may not know her, she is ......"
"Mrs. Xian, when I was a child, I heard others praise her, she is a rare talented woman." Jing Ning really knew this general's wife, and she deliberately looked for the words she had written when she was young, and the words were full of tenderness, but later learned that she had unfortunately died, and often regretted that she had not been able to meet her.
Looking at the general's puzzled expression, she added: "I had the privilege of reading the master's work by the general's wife when I was young. “
"Oh?" Jing Ning and Chu Nian still have such a fate, which is amazing.
"At first, I didn't know who this article came from, but I knew that the text was delicate and sincere, not as sharp as what those ink writers wrote, although it made people gain knowledge, and she was inexplicably tired after reading a lot, her words were always so warm, but how did you know that it was from a woman's hand at that time." Memories of Jing Ning's regret.
"And how do you know who it came from?" The general remembered that in order to satisfy Chu Nian, when she was pregnant with You'er, he thought about it again and again and decided to give Chu Nian a pseudonym to pass on her most proud words, and slowly everyone This book really became a topic of conversation after dinner, and he also promised that after You'er was born, he would take her to the Qinglou to listen to others talk about her book, but this is just a promise.
"It's a secret, the general can rest assured, it's just a coincidence, and the slave family has never talked to anyone."
