Chapter 326 Encounter in Mahe Village
After his younger sister left with Ginkgo, Zhou Feng walked to the window and looked down, watching her figure recede into the distance, his heart filled with sadness.
Seeing this, the servant asked, "Young master, are you still thinking about the third young lady?"
"I will always remember her."
How could he forget the beautiful memories of his youth?
She was like a ray of light in his life, so vibrant and lovely. But he was too foolish back then, not even knowing who he truly loved.
Even though she was completely different from her older sister, he still managed to confuse the two of them.
It was his fault.
Later, he was filled with remorse for how recklessly she had acted, and for him...
The servant said, "Then why don't you chase after her, young master? Perhaps the third young lady still thinks of you."
“She doesn’t remember me anymore.” Zhou Feng gave a bitter smile. “I used to see her with my eyes and heart full of love for her, but today when I saw her, she had changed. She no longer had me in her heart or eyes.”
The servant continued, "We'll only know if we try, after all, you and the Third Miss have a past relationship."
Zhou Feng shook his head: "But how could I possibly be worthy of her? The Si family is a marquisate, and I heard that her mother was granted the title of princess. She is the only county princess among her three sisters. I... I am nothing. If I miss out, I miss out."
The servant didn't quite understand and just stared blankly at his young master.
Zhou Feng added, "But I will work hard and strive to achieve my goals. One day, I will pass the imperial examination with flying colors and be able to stand by her side again!"
"Young Master, Miss San is already seventeen. When you pass the imperial examination with flying colors, she will surely be..."
The servant glanced at his young master, then hesitated to continue, his words sounding as if he were cursing his young master, wishing him no immediate success.
Zhou Feng didn't care. He looked at the empty courtyard and said, "I'm willing to protect her forever."
After her fever subsided, the second sister planned to go to Mahe Village with her younger brother.
The younger brother was worried and said, "Second sister, you've just recovered from a serious illness, so it's best if you don't go around. I can go by myself; I don't think Wancheng's parents will blame me."
"No, I promised Rong-jie that once I've cleared her brother's name, I'll tell her in person."
Upon arriving at Mahe Village, before even entering the village, they encountered the three members of the Jiang family.
Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Jianchun were on their way to the county town. When they saw their second sister, they were stunned.
My younger brother has already heard that what the Jiang family did this time almost killed his second sister. What's more, there's the matter of the Jiang family abandoning his second sister and Xiaoxia'er two years ago.
Now that he has seen his enemy, he really wants to rush up and teach the entire Jiang family a lesson.
The second sister reached out and pulled her younger brother back, whispering, "Don't be impulsive."
Jiang's mother also showed a look of resentment, wishing she could bite the two little bitches in front of her to death!
The second sister spoke calmly, "Right now, I'm keeping to myself and have absolutely no connection with Prince Ning. If you cause any more trouble, the Si family will not let you off easily."
Jiang's mother was indignant, but when she heard that she had no connection with Prince Ning, she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but then became wary. Could this little bitch be lying?
Mr. Jiang asked, "Are you serious?"
"It's true."
Jiang's father's eyes darted around: "You won't tell Prince Ning about those things from the past?"
The second sister sneered: "He's forgotten the past. He can be his prince, and I'll be my noble lady. There's no need to dwell on it anymore. I have no intention of telling him about what happened before."
Jiang's father then made up his mind.
All they knew was that the Si family had come to the capital and had regained their marquisate, and that Si Mutong had returned to the Si family and was now the young lady of the marquis's mansion.
But they didn't know that the baby girl Si Mutong had just given birth to was still alive after they abandoned her.
Therefore, Jiang's father believed that the reason Si Mutong did not want to have anything to do with Prince Ning was because she was now the daughter of a marquis and wanted to climb to a higher social status.
Although Prince Ning was a prince, he had no biological father and no other brothers to support him.
Jiang's father was convinced that his second sister was trying to climb the social ladder, and his eyes showed disdain. He immediately said, "Of course we won't mention it, especially since the third brother is already engaged, and his fiancée is a county princess!"
The second sister lowered her eyes and made no comment.
Seeing this, Jiang's father was even more pleased with himself.
This Si Mutong not only wanted to climb the social ladder herself, but she must also understand that she was just a pretty face and could never compare to the county princess of the Princess's mansion.
Just then, a group of people rode up from behind, and the one in the lead was none other than Prince Ning.
He dismounted, looked at the people in front of him suspiciously, and nodded to his second sister: "What are you doing here?"
The group of people were somewhat stunned.
The second sister spoke first: "My younger brother and I came to visit Wancheng's parents and happened to run into them. They came to apologize to me because of the misunderstanding a few days ago."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, we were originally planning to go to the county town to buy some things. We just came out and saw this young lady. Remembering what happened before, we feel very bad. Please forgive us, young lady."
Jiang's mother also walked to Ning Wang's side: "Third son, we did something foolish last time, please don't be angry with us. Come on, let's go home, I'll cook you something delicious."
Prince Ning felt something was off between them, as if there was something he didn't know about.
But both sides said the same thing, and he couldn't get any answers from them when he asked.
Jiang Jianchun asked, "Third brother, what brings you here today?"
"The case is closed. Remembering what Madam Chiang said last time, I came to see you."
Prince Ning remained indifferent, as he always had, and no one seemed to care.
He ostensibly came to visit the Jiang family, but that wasn't actually his intention. He wanted to know the truth behind the Jiang family's kidnapping of Si Mutong last time.
At that time, he was busy investigating the Third Prince's case and didn't have time to deal with it. Now that he has some free time, he wants to investigate it properly.
The second sister bowed to Prince Ning and left with her younger brother.
Prince Ning, on the other hand, returned with the Jiang family.
Sister-in-law Jiang, with her two children, was very unhappy. She wanted to go to the county town, but her family wanted her to stay home with the children and wouldn't let her go.
I didn't expect him to be back so quickly.
Upon seeing Prince Ning following behind, Sister-in-law Jiang was taken aback for a moment, then called to her child, "Go, call your third uncle."
Sister-in-law Jiang has three children. The eldest is studying at a school in the county town, while the two younger ones are confused and will call out whatever they are told to.
Prince Ning nodded indifferently and said to Jiang Jianchun, "Are you getting used to living here? I've never lived here before, show me around."
Jiang Jianchun quickly said, "Okay, I'll show you around. Would you like to stay here for the night? I'll have your sister-in-law prepare a bed for you."
"No need," said Prince Ning. "I'll be busy with court tomorrow and need to go back early. However, I'm a little hungry."
