The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

When Ning Ziqing woke up again, the sky was dim, and his arm felt raw if he moved even a little bit.

She looked sideways and found Huo Yunjue's handsome face sleeping soundly against her pillow.

Under his thick eyebrows, his eyelashes are dark and long.On the delicate facial features, the scar on the left cheek is particularly eye-catching.

Ning Ziqing gently stretched out her hand to touch the scar, and then touched his eyebrows, feeling that this face was really beautiful.

She couldn't help laughing as she recalled her dream last night.

"what are you laughing at?"

Huo Yunjue, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and met her bright eyes.

His voice was deep and rich, slightly hoarse, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

Ning Ziqing retracted her hand in embarrassment and blushed instantly.

Huo Yunjue held his head with one hand and couldn't help laughing when he looked at her shy expression.He raised the corners of his lips slightly, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he laughed softly.

"You're hungry, do you want to get up and eat something?"

"I'm not hungry and I don't want to eat!" Ning Ziqing saw that he was making fun of her and turned away angrily.

"You haven't eaten anything since last night. How come you're not hungry? Be good, tell me what you want to eat, and I'll get it for you." Huo Yunjue coaxed her.

"I want to eat Fubaozhai's pastries, but you ate them all by yourself yesterday, and I didn't even get a piece." Ning Ziqing was still annoyed that he snatched the pastries Song Yu bought for her yesterday.

"This is indeed gone. I will buy it again when I return to the city to compensate you!"

"I want to eat now!"

Ning Ziqing was angry with him.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you right now. Don't be angry. You'll feel bad if you're angry."

Huo Yunjue had no choice but to go out of the room and call Wei Yu.

"Go and buy the pastries from Fubaozhai. I want all the flavors!"

"Your Highness, are you sure you want to buy so many?" Wei Yu was stunned. There are dozens of kinds of pastries in Fubaozhai. You have to buy every flavor, so you can't buy dozens of boxes.

"Just buy it when I ask you to, why do you ask so many questions!" Huo Yunjue gave him a stern look.

"Yes, this subordinate is going!"

Wei Yu quickly shut up, secretly guessing when Huo Yunjue started to like sweets.

After Huo Yunjue finished instructing Wei Yu, he raised his head and saw Su Yanqi standing at the door holding a bowl of medicine.

"Her fever has subsided and she is no longer a serious problem. She will be fine if she takes a good rest for a while!" Huo Yunjue saw Su Yanqi's haggard face, fearing that he was still worried about Ning Ziqing, so he quickly comforted her.

"Thank you, Your Highness. You must be tired after staying overnight. Go and rest quickly!" Su Yanqi nodded in thanks.

"I still need to write a memorial and report to the court what happened last night. Can you lend me Qirou-kun's study?"

"The study is in the front yard. Your Highness, please excuse me."

"Yansi, lead the way for His Highness."

"Yes, my lord!"

When Su Yanqi saw Huo Yunjue leaving, he turned around and walked into the room. Ning Ziqing heard the footsteps and thought it was Huo Yunjue and said coquettishly.

"I won't eat anything that isn't from Fubaozhai." After she finished speaking, Su Yanqi stopped.

"Third sister, it's me, you should take the medicine!" Ning Ziqing was slightly surprised when she heard Su Yanqi's voice. She turned her head and saw Su Yanqi in white walking to the bed.

He moved the stool and sat down, carefully raised her head, and put the medicine to her mouth.Ning Ziqing took a sip and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, is the medicine very hot? Su Yanqi took back the medicine bowl, put it to his mouth and took a sip to make sure the temperature was just right, neither cold nor hot.

"It's not hot!" He handed the medicine bowl to Ning Ziqing's mouth again.

"It's too bitter, can you not drink it?" Ning Ziqing frowned and refused with a sullen face.

"No, your wound is too deep. It will take several days of drinking to heal." Su Yanqi said lightly, his tone was not serious, but it gave people the feeling that he could not refuse.

Ning Ziqing had no choice but to muster up the courage to drink the medicine in the medicine bowl in one gulp.

"It's too bitter. Is there no sweet medicine? I really don't like the taste!" Ning Ziqing's mouth was full of bitterness and she felt very uncomfortable.She has not liked taking medicine since she was a child.

"That's why His Royal Highness went to buy you cakes."

Ning Ziqing was startled by his words. She saw that Su Yanqi's deep eyes seemed to contain some strange emotions.

She felt speechless, lowered her eyes, and looked at the bed curtain anxiously.

After a long silence, Su Yanqi spoke again.

"Do you want me to postpone the engagement because of His Highness the Fourth Highness?" His clear voice was laced with a hint of depression. He could clearly see that Huo Yunjue cared very much about Ning Ziqing, and even the look in her eyes was filled with emotion. Of tenderness.

"If you really like His Highness Fourth Highness, I can break off the engagement with you." Su Yanqi's eyes flashed with casual pain, but he still maintained a nonchalant look.

"No, it's not what you think." Ning Ziqing knew that he had misunderstood her and quickly explained to him, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to say them.

Do you want to tell him that it was because she died so miserably in her previous life? It was Huo Yunjue who gave her the last dignity and even killed her enemies for her. In this life, she had saved her many times. She just harbored feelings for him. gratitude.

However, she might not even believe this reason herself.

Ning Ziqing's heart beat a little, and she finally spoke slowly.

"I'm sorry, Shichiro-kun!"

She didn't want to explain too much, and felt ashamed and sorry for Su Yanqi, who had been engaged to her since childhood. Song Yu had obviously reminded her, why she still couldn't help but be attracted to Huo Yunjue.

"I understand. You don't have to be sorry to me. You were not born when we decided to get married, and no one asked you if you were willing."

Su Yanqi actually already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to wait for Ning Ziqing to say it himself.

There was an imperceptible loss hidden deep in his eyes, and a trace of bitterness welled up in his heart.

He didn't believe in fate before, but now he only felt that everything was fate. He tried his best to restrain the sadness in his heart and lowered his voice to speak softly.

"It's just that I can't give you the divorce certificate right now. Please wait patiently. Do you understand?"

Su Yanqi was still thinking about Ning Ziqing at this time. Not long ago, Ning Zilan had slandered her and Song Yu for having an affair. Although they had proven their innocence, if they gave her a divorce certificate at this time, it would be tantamount to confirming people's suspicions. Speculation will definitely damage her reputation.

When Ning Ziqing heard what he said, she couldn't help crying anymore. He was such a gentle and gentle man, a humble gentleman in the hearts of all the noble ladies in the capital, and a good son-in-law in their dreams.

But she hurt him deeply. She felt so much self-blame and guilt that she didn't even know how to face him.

Seeing her crying sadly, Su Yanqi put down the medicine bowl in her hand, gently stroked her head and comforted her.

"Don't cry. In this life, you always have to learn to choose."

Su Yanqi's expression became dull, recalling that when he was a child, he only wanted to obtain fame, become an official in the court, serve the country, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the family.

However, his father suddenly asked him to give up his studies and study business instead. He also swore an oath in front of the spirits of his ancestors that he would never be an official in the court in this life.

Unconvinced, he knelt in front of his father's house for three days and three nights, but his father still refused to change his mind.In the end, he fainted and had no choice but to compromise and accept the fact, gave up the books that had been with him all day long, and began to learn to do business and manage accounts.

He had already made a painful choice, and this choice was undoubtedly a shackles on him, which he regretted for the rest of his life.

He didn't want to see his beloved going against his own will like him, so he chose to let her go and let her pursue her own happiness.
