“You and Sister Yunzhu, you just want to marry me off…”

“Just drag me into it, don’t bring Yunzhu into this, she…”

“Anyway, you just think I’m getting old, and no one will want me in a few years. Even if you say it’s for my own good, that’s what you mean. I know that. Search: (Complete Book Divine Station) to read high-quality literature for free.”

In the room, Jin’er spoke stiffly, and Ning Yi frowned. “It won’t be easy to talk about this in a few years. You can be the first wife now, but in a few years, even if you like someone, you’ll mostly only be a concubine. Being a first wife is at least better than being a concubine, right? Su Wenyu is good, if you don’t like him, that’s fine. I’m not trying to force you, why are you getting so angry…”

“Sister Yunzhu isn’t the first wife either. She’s still kept outside by you.”

“You’re being a little unreasonable…”

Jin’er had been speaking coldly since she came in, and her words just now did have a bit of a sulky feel to them. Ning Yi was silent for a moment. “We hope you can be the first wife, you… don’t deserve to be someone’s concubine, but never mind, if you don’t like it, I won’t interfere, okay?”

Jin’er turned her head to one side. “Anyway, I didn’t come here to talk to you about this.”

“Then what do you want to say?”

“I don’t want to say it now…” She bit her lip, her voice small as if coming from her heart.

“…So all that I said was for nothing?” Ning Yi couldn’t help but feel discouraged.

Jin’er sniffed and looked at him. “Anyway, you said it very happily, a long speech. Ning Liheng, do you think you know why I came to you? You’re always like this, you know what everyone is thinking…”

“You can tell me if I’m wrong…”

“Why should I tell you? You know everything, you’re so amazing, why should I tell you! I just won’t say it, I just want to make you uncomfortable, I’m annoyed just looking at you, I just came here to pick a fight, why should I tell you!”

The woman, sitting there with her legs together, her hands folded on her lap, suddenly said all this in a tone that wasn’t loud but very fast. After she finished speaking, she just stared at Ning Yi. Ning Yi was also stunned for a moment. Jin’er looked a bit aggrieved. He also felt that he might have done something wrong that he hadn’t noticed. He had been calm and collected, and of course he wouldn’t get angry at this time, but he was just a little discouraged.

“Are you having your period…”

“Wh-what period…”

“Menstruation… Auntie!”

Ning Yi explained quickly. Jin’er’s face turned a little red with embarrassment, then turned pale again. “It’s… it’s none of your business, you’re shameless!” She paused, then raised her head. “You hugged me on the road, you said you’d give me an explanation, where’s the explanation?”

“What kind of explanation can I give? You know why that happened, you were Liangshan’s Yan Qing in front, I had no choice, what else could I do? Should I cut off my hand for you, do you want me to!” Ning Yi retorted, then tilted his head and breathed a sigh of relief. The night wind blew in from the window, making the flame of the lamp on the table flicker. Ning Yi reached out to block it for a moment, then put on the lampshade, and then continued to speak.

“I don’t want to argue with you. If I really did something wrong, I apologize to you. I know you’re in a bad mood, your family wants to sell you off, and I’ve been pushing you along a bit relentlessly. You’ve left Jiangning, where you’ve always lived, and you’re not familiar with this place at all. In the future, besides Yunzhu, you might not know anyone. You went out this morning and saw that corpse, and you couldn’t say anything about it. You’re annoyed and things are piling up, you want to vent your anger, I can understand. Just tell me what’s bothering you, how can I possibly guess everything that’s on you women's minds…”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Ning Yi took a breath. “Or are you upset about that dead woman? I’m not comfortable either. It’s clearly the doing of the Grand Commandant’s mansion. He’s one of the Three Dukes, what can we do if we’re not comfortable? Qin Si Yuan can’t even touch him. Or if you want to be happy, should I think of a way to kill that Gao Ya Nei? Do you want to… uh, you…”

“You don’t even know why I came to you…”

“…Don’t be like this.”

In the dim yellow light, tears streamed down the woman’s face. Ning Yi was speechless, and at the same time felt a little innocent. Jin’er sniffed, then pushed the stool away and stood up. With tears in her eyes, she turned to leave, and Ning Yi stood up as well.

“What do you want!?” Jin’er took two steps, and Ning Yi finally shouted. She stopped. “What are you getting upset about, what do you want to say, just say it frankly! You don’t even look like yourself right now, hesitating! We’re friends, Yuan Jin’er, take a look at yourself! I talk too much? I’m guessing blindly? If I didn’t think of you as a friend, would I need to be here joking and trying to liven things up like a clown? I’m not good at being a confidante at all! I don’t need more than two words to kill someone’s entire family…”

“Then kill me!” Jin’er turned around, crying and shouting.

“I’m not afraid of you, but why can’t we talk about things frankly? What’s so bad about Su Wenyu that you’re resisting so much? You can put aside whether you like him or not, you don’t need to get so upset. You can sit down and tell me clearly what you want to scold me for. If you’re willing to talk, I won’t say a word until you’re done scolding me, okay…”

“I came here to tell you, I like you…”

“…Jin’er, communication is…”

“…”

“Uh…”

The words “I like you” finally reached Ning Yi’s mind at this moment. He was a little surprised. His mouth just opened a few times out of habit. The room fell silent. After Jin’er said this, she turned her head back, facing away, wiping away tears, looking like she was about to walk out the door, but in the end she didn’t take a step. Ning Yi took two breaths, and didn’t wait too long before speaking again, his voice a little low: “If… if you just want to embarrass me, this joke has gone too far…”

“I also wish I was just joking with you…” She covered her mouth and nose with the back of her hand, sniffing. “I don’t want to like you at all, you’re the most annoying person…”

After she said these words, it took a long time before she turned her head back. Tears were still flowing, her voice choked up: "Negotiate? I just came here to negotiate with you, what negotiations? Ning Liheng, you’re just a *Son-in-Law*, meddlesome, annoying, irritating…"

Ning Yi didn’t know how to express himself, and raised his head slightly: "You motherfucker..."

The voice wasn’t loud, but it could still be heard. Jin’er tilted her head, and asked with a sob: “What did you say?”

“Didn’t say you…”

“You’re still cursing me…” She said crying, then hesitated, finally took a step forward, grabbed a teacup that Ning Yi had set up, took a step back, and threw it at him. The teacup wasn’t thrown with much force. Ning Yi blocked it casually, and it fell to the ground.

“…You’re the most annoying person, I hate your meddling, who are you, what are you to me. It’s none of your business whether I get married or not! I just don’t like Su Wenyu, you said it behind my back, I just don’t like him, what about it!”

“…I hate your shamelessness, you clearly said I liked Sister Yunzhu, you’re all messed up, you can’t even give Sister Yunzhu a proper status… You even hugged me, you said you’d give me an explanation, where’s the explanation, did you think you could just get away with a few jokes… I’m not an idiot, if I didn’t let things go, do you really think I’d just forget about it? Huh?”

“…I hate your smoothness, your jokes aren’t funny at all, you’re always talking and talking, what do you even know, do you think I’d be touched by what you say!”

“…I hate your self-righteousness the most, aren’t you very powerful! Aren’t you very impressive in front of others! You kill people’s entire families at the drop of a hat, those people from Liangshan are also being played by you, you always think you know what other people are thinking, but why can’t you guess anything now, why am I unhappy, why am I picking a fight with you, you can’t guess it. What does Su Wenyu have to do with it! You stole Sister Yunzhu, and you still want to push me to another man, I’m only angry because you’re the one pushing me! I hate you! I hate myself…”

“…I hate myself for liking you…”

She was crying softly, sobbing, throwing the teacups on the table one by one at Ning Yi. After she finished throwing them, she stood there crying and looking at Ning Yi, wiping away her tears. After a long time, she even choked on her saliva and coughed twice while crying. She reached out to cover her lips. But these two embarrassed coughs didn’t bring any joy. Ning Yi was speechless, not knowing what to say. Finally, the woman was about to turn and leave, but after taking a step, she returned, wiping away her tears.

“Negotiations…” She kicked the table, sobbing, “I hate you cursing me…”

That voice carried a bit of sorrow and even more grievance. The edge of the table slammed into Ning Yi’s thigh. Ning Yi reached out and pressed it. The tea tray on the table fell to the ground. Ning Yi grabbed with his other hand, catching the teapot from above, but the body of the purple clay teapot was smooth. The next moment, it still fell down. Ning Yi was left with only a lid in his hand. The teapot shattered on the ground.

On the other side, Jin’er pushed open the door and finally ran out crying. The crowd eavesdropping outside the door stirred. Ning Yi saw Yunzhu running past the door in a bit of a panic and embarrassment, chasing after Jin’er. As for the others, there might be Xiao Chan among this group, or even Su Wenyu, Su Yanping, and others, quickly scattered like startled birds when Ning Yi couldn’t see them.

“This kind of thing…”

He sighed, put the teapot lid on the table, stared at the lid for a while, then reached out and swept it off the table, letting it fall to the ground and break into several pieces.

The matter was still unresolved, and he was definitely embarrassed now. As he walked out of here, on the way back to the courtyard, he saw Su Wenyu and Su Yanping still talking at the door. When they saw him coming, they wanted to avoid him, but in the end they just stepped aside, greeted him, and then stole glances at Ning Yi’s expression with flickering eyes. Ning Yi walked past the two of them, then pointed at Su Wenyu.

“From now on… you chase your own girls…”

After saying that, he left.

The moon was rising over the treetops here. After Ning Yi’s figure disappeared, Su Wenyu and Su Yanping dared to continue talking.

“Aren’t you angry…”

“I saw it a long time ago… You know, Second Brother-in-law always talks about chasing girls… He’s really good at doing other things, I have to admire him, but when it comes to chasing girls…”

“What?”

“…Hehe, I don’t think he’s good at it at all…”

“That makes sense, let’s see what Second Brother-in-law will do now…”
