It was late at night, and Ning Xue, who was tired from crying, finally fell asleep in a groggy state under the watchful eye of the four, making a slight sobbing sound from time to time.

The second lady wiped the tears on her face with a silk handkerchief, and motioned to the other three with her eyes to go out and talk, so as not to disturb Ning Xue.

Ning Zhenhai looked at Ning Xue, who had not escaped from his bad luck even in his dream, shook his head helplessly, sighed and walked away.

Ning Yue and Yu Mei quietly walked out of the room with the second lady.

After they gently closed the door, the second lady said slowly: "Suffering from this incident, I'm afraid Xue'er will not be able to sleep peacefully these days, I'm really worried." Fortunately, the two of you have been serving around Xue'er since you were a child, and I can feel much more at ease with you here. So from today onwards, you will take turns to stay by her side, take care of her, and don't go wrong! Her tone was soft, but her gaze was intimidating.

"Yes, Second Lady!" The two bowed their heads and replied submissively.

After a day of tossing, the two of them were exhausted, but Ning Yue, who knew Ning Xue's temperament well, was very worried that she would make an astonishing move because she wanted to disobey this matter, so she automatically asked Ying to stay behind tonight to take care of Ning Xue. Although it is impossible to change her mind, at least she can be comforted and calmed down, as long as the two young masters come back, things will definitely take a turn for the better...... Only by convincing herself can Ning Yue give her a firm belief when she wakes up.

When the second lady returned to the room, she saw that Ning Zhenhai was sulking in her room without saying a word. She walked up to him, poured him a cup of tea, and sat down gently.

"Master, isn't there room for negotiation in this matter? You are not the only one who has a daughter, and that Lord Duan clearly knows the relationship between our Xue'er and General An's beloved son, so why bother to be strong......" The second lady stroked Ning Zhenhai's arm with both hands and said softly.

"Hey...... You all blame me for the matter, but I am really helpless about this matter! The emperor's holy mouth has been opened, and at this time, it is like an arrow on the string, and he has to send it! Ning Zhenhai's anger had nowhere to go, and he hit the table with a punch, and the tea set on the table fell in response, breaking the silence of the night, like a roar in his heart. Why don't I cherish my own **! ”

The second lady was frightened by his sudden move, she had known Ning Zhenhai for more than ten years, but she had never seen him so angry, her heart hurt her pillow person, and even more heartache for her only daughter, and tears finally couldn't help flowing.

"Sir...... Don't be angry, we'll figure it out! The second lady gently helped Ning Zhenhai sweep his back with her hand, and looked at him affectionately. In fact, General An's power and fame are on par with Lord Duan, and he has already reached a consensus with us about Xue'er's life, if we invite him to speak to the emperor, maybe there will be a place for maneuver in this matter......"

"No way!" Ning Zhenhai flatly refused. "The holy will of this matter has been decided, our Ning family is deeply blessed with the emperor's grace, and we must not do anything that will make the emperor worried! That's it, don't mention it again! The second lady saw that Ning Zhenhai was angry with her, and she was so frightened that she lost her face, and Ning Zhenhai slowed down her tone and continued when she saw this: "Hey...... I'm going to put it off as long as I can to give Cher more time to stay with us, and that's the only thing I can do for her......"

The second lady leaned over to Ning Zhenhai meekly and said softly, "Hey...... Master, you are the only support of our mother and daughter, and everything is arranged by the master...... It's just that Xue'er was wronged...... but he was silently thinking about how to report to the two brothers of the An family for help.

For the next few days, it was rainy and the humid air was annoying.

Ning Xue still washes her face with tears every day, but she can't exchange it for Ning Zhenhai's compromise, although she wants to make a big fuss to vent the depression in her heart, but crying has already exhausted all her strength, plus she loses her appetite every day, and now she even feels laborious to smash the ground with a cup.

Ning Yue's comfort didn't work at all.

"Xiao Yue, Brother Xiang, Brother Qi and Uncle An are fighting far away now, and I don't know when I will come back, Yuanshui can't save the near fire, I'm afraid I can't wait! Woo woo...... "After speaking, Ning Xue buried her face in the quilt again and cried bitterly.

"Who said Cher couldn't wait for them!" The second lady walked slowly, followed by Fang Tao holding a plate of delicate snacks and a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

When Ning Xue heard the voice of the second lady, her crying and swollen eyes appeared from the quilt, as if she saw a glimmer of hope.

"Mother, do you think of a way to save Xue'er?" Ning Xue said with a sob.

The second lady looked at her lovingly, gently helped Ning Xue straighten out the messy green silk with her hand, and said leisurely: "Xue'er is the meat of my mother's heart, no matter how difficult it is, my mother will try her best to get you out of that marriage!" ”

Ning Xue sat up excitedly, took her hand and said, "Mother, tell me quickly, what can I do not marry that Duan Ming!" ”

The second lady smiled slightly: "Xue'er, don't worry, eat the porridge and snacks, and then tell you slowly." ”

Ning Xue drank the porridge in one gulp, then stuffed the dim sum into her mouth indiscriminately, and shook the second lady's hand to urge her to say without waiting to swallow it.

The second lady took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her mouth, and said unhurriedly: "In the past few days, my mother has asked around about the way to contact the An family brothers, and finally found that the generals who are fighting abroad will regularly send messengers to send letters to the emperor to report the military situation. If the military situation is serious, it will be one every three days, and if the situation is stable, it will be one every five days. Yesterday, the messenger of the An family army had already returned to his life, so we can only wait for the messenger who will come in three days, and ask him to bring a letter to the An brothers, and they will know about it in ten days. ”

Seeing that Ning Xue was listening attentively, the second lady continued: "Although the marriage with the Duan family has been approved by the emperor, your father has promised yesterday that he will delay as much as possible so that you can stay with us more, so no matter how fast you want to come, it will take several months to get it done." Mother knows in her heart that the An family brothers are very attentive to Xue'er, so after learning about this, they will definitely try their best to rush back quickly to help us tide over the difficulties. Just ......"

Ning Xue looked at the second lady with wide red eyes, for fear that something would happen again.

"It's just that your father has made up his mind to let you marry Duan Mansion, and we are not allowed to report to the An family to avoid extraneous complications, so the matter of the mother entrusting someone to send them a letter must not be known to others......" After finishing speaking, the second lady sent a stern look to Ning Yue and Fang Tao, and the two bowed down and replied knowingly: "Yes, the second lady ......"

Ning Xue stretched out her hand and took the hands of the two of them and said, "They have been with us since they were children, and they will never betray us!" ”

"There is another thing, Xue'er, no matter how aggrieved you have been in your heart in the past few months, you have to pretend to obey your father and please the Duan family a lot, only then will they take off their guard against you, and they will not be in a hurry to let you get married, so as to buy more time for the An family brothers......"

After hearing this, Ning Xue hurriedly nodded and said, "As long as I can not marry him, I will agree to whatever I want, mother, don't worry, Xue'er will pretend to be very similar!" ”

The second lady smiled when she heard this.
