Ning Ancheng, the new official, naturally wouldn't care about this warehouse.

All the previous profits of the gold mine were included in the 100,000 taels of gold. The money disappeared and the gold mine was later abandoned due to the consequences.

Work has only started in the last few days, so naturally there is nothing in the warehouse.

Moreover, Ning Ning said that Qingyun Zuoqi was personally sealing the hole in the warehouse and no one else was allowed to approach for the time being.

Ning Ancheng also knew the status of Qingyun Zuoqi. As a small official, he would naturally not challenge his authority.

However, Ning Ancheng cares very much about the relationship between Ning Ning and Shang Wenqi.

Finally, he couldn't help it, and when everyone was doing their own things and there was no one around, he finally asked again.

"What's going on between you and Shang Wenqi?"

Ning Ning blinked innocently.

"You don't have to hide it from me. I saw everything that night."

Ning Ning thought about it carefully and finally knew which night he was talking about.

That was the night when she and Shang Wenqi kissed.

Ning Ning felt a little embarrassed when she thought that Ning Ancheng saw them kissing under the moon.

"Have you identified him?"

"Hmm?" Ning Ning blinked. This question was a little difficult to answer.

Ning Ancheng sighed somewhat dejectedly: "He is the high and mighty Qingyun Left Cavalry, and he is also the commander-in-chief, a popular figure in front of the saint, and even the princess has to call him brother.

Such a person must be from a prominent family. Will his family allow you to join the family?"

"?" Ning Ning had never thought about this question.

However, my brother was a little too worried. After all, Shang Wenqi did hold a high position and had a prominent family background, but he was not favored.

His father didn't even care about his life or death, let alone who he married.

Maybe his father really doesn't want Shang Wenqi to marry a noble lady.

After all, this is an unfavored son. If this guy becomes rich, they will not be able to live a comfortable life.

It is already the best that he can be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Qingyun Left Cavalry.

Ning Ning was just thinking when Ning Ancheng spoke again.

“Even if you manage to get married, they will only give you a position as a concubine. But I don’t want you to be someone else’s concubine from the bottom of my heart. After all, if you are a concubine, you will be inferior to others, and your children will also be inferior to others. You will not have the opportunity to serve as an official in the future.

With your talent, my sister could have soared into the sky, so why did she have to become a delicate flower competing for favor in the inner palace? "

Ning Ning didn't expect Ning Ancheng to think this way. It was really a bit unexpected.

"Of course, if you really like this man, I will shamelessly ask for a wife for you, but I can only tell you that the chances of success are slim, so don't be too optimistic."

Ning Ancheng looked serious, and it looked like he would go to Shang Wenqi to discuss marriage right after the conversation.

She laughed and shook her head: "Brother, you think too far ahead. To be honest, I don't think that far ahead. After all, I am in deep mourning. And Shang Wenqi and I are not what you think. It can't be explained in a few words. I can only say, let it go."

"What?" Ning Ancheng's expression suddenly changed as he listened, and he looked at her angrily: "You mean, you haven't even talked about the future, and he doesn't want to take responsibility?"

This is even worse than making her a concubine!

Ning Ancheng immediately labeled Shang Wenqi a frivolous playboy who flirted with and deceived decent women.

Come to think of it, even an engaged couple should adhere to the principle of starting from love and ending with courtesy, and should not look down on the fiancée before getting married.

And he didn't care at all that Ning Ning was in heavy mourning, and he kissed her as he pleased.

Although it was dark at that time, there was no one around.

But there is a god above our heads. Even if people cannot see him, they can still see him.

But this guy still did it. Doesn't he know that if someone else saw it, the girl's reputation would be ruined.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Ning Ancheng wanted to go find Shang Wenqi to settle the score immediately.

Ning Ning quickly pulled him back: "Brother, you misunderstood."

"Then let me ask you, has he ever said he wants to marry you?"

"Well... not really, but..."

"I didn't even promise to marry you, but I did such a rude thing to you? You dandy! You flower thief!" Ning Ancheng became even angrier.

Ning Ning never expected that things would get worse and worse. She just felt extremely painful.

At this moment, the door burst open.

Shang Wenqi walked in with his straight back.

When Ning Ancheng saw Shang Wenqi coming in, he shrank back reflexively at first, but when he saw his sister, he regained his courage.

After all, this was a lecher who had flirted with his sister and taken advantage of her.

Now he only has his sister as a relative. Seeing his sister being bullied, shouldn’t he stand up for her?

Even if I have to sacrifice my life for my sister, I will do it!

In short, driven by an evil fire, Ning Ancheng rushed directly to Shang Wenqi.

"You! You scoundrel!"

Just when he was thinking about how to defeat this guy to vent his anger, Shang Wenqi spoke unexpectedly.

"I will marry Ning Ning, and I will marry her in a sedan chair carried by eight people as the ceremony for a wife."

"Huh?" Ning Ancheng was suddenly speechless.

Ning Ning was also confused. What was going on?

Shang Wenqi glanced at Ning Ning indifferently, as if expressing dissatisfaction with her words and actions just now.

"I am not a pervert, nor am I taking advantage of her, nor have I ever mentioned marrying her.

In fact, I had proposed to her as early as last month, but Ning Ning said that she was in deep mourning and could not agree for the time being.

So I kept the matter under control.

But I'm ready. Once things here are settled, I'll go back to Beijing and talk to the Saint about it, and ask him to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage.

This way, even if we can't get married right away, Ning Ning and I have an engagement, and Ning Ning and my brother won't have to worry about me abandoning them."

"Hey hey hey? Wait, what is this? Why didn't you discuss this with me?" Ning Ning looked confused.

She had known Shang Wenqi for so long, but this was the first time she heard him talk so much.

However, what was said was completely beyond her expectations.

This guy is quite thoughtful. He even wants the Queen Mother to grant him a marriage!

This way, she can't escape the marriage, is that what you mean?

However, before Ning Ning could finish her words, Ning Ancheng interrupted her and looked at Shang Wenqi with a serious face.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Shang Wenqi nodded: "Yes, if you tell any lies, you will be struck by lightning and die."

Daliang values ​​its promises. Since Shang Wenqi has said so, there is nothing to doubt.

Ning Ancheng also nodded slowly.

"In that case, I will approve your marriage on behalf of my parents. But I have to say this first. I only have one sister. If you betray her, bully her, or hurt her in the future, in short, if you make her unhappy, I will settle the score with you even if it costs me my life."

"Don't worry, if that's the case, I'm willing to be punished by my brother and will never fight back."
