Chapter 1235: Chapter 1235: Is ng Yunzheng the Suitor?
The two of them were standing at the doorway talking. The old lady noticed and lightly coughed, causing Shu Yu to imdiately press her lips and step back a few steps.
The old lady shook her head, leading ng Pei inside.
Xiao Family instinctively retreated, continuing until she reached the corner.
Then she saw betrothal gifts being carried in one after another, among those carrying them were Wang Hong and Hu Li.
Xiao Family’s gaze fell again on Shu Yu and ng Yunzheng, and in that instant, she noticed them briefly clasp hands before quickly letting go.
Yet, the two exchanged a smile, that sense of mutual understanding and the warmth that others might find hard to penetrate, causing Xiao Family’s body to sway slightly.
Nanny Gu was about to support her, but Xiang Weinan moved faster, holding her back with a hand to help her stand straight.
Following that, a cold voice was lowered to speak in Xiao Family’s ear, “Xiao Family, why are you here? I’ve warned you before not to look for Monarch Lu Xiang, yet you ca on your own accord?”
Xiao Family’s body trembled; she turned to glance at him, then instinctively looked towards Shu Yu and the others, suddenly feeling a wave of coldness.
She inexplicably felt embarrassed, mixed with envy, and, regrettably.
She didn’t answer Xiang Weinan’s question but pointed at ng Yunzheng, saying, “Isn’t he the Eldest Young Master of the Gong Family?”
Xiang Weinan’s face was steady, “There’s no Gong Family anymore.”
Indeed, there’s no more Gong Family.
Xiao Family recalled how Gong Qiu had attempted rebellion, and now t a tragic end.
She returned a month earlier than Shu Yu, back when Gong Qiu had yet to be executed, but the Gong Family’s case had already been investigated thoroughly.
Back then, the deeds of the Eldest Young Master of the Gong Family were widely circulated, his personally uncovering Gong Qiu’s cris garnered mixed evaluations.
Xiao Family, even as a child, had seen ng Yunzheng, who was distinguished and handso, looks surpassing even Xiang Weinan.
Consequently, his presence among the Capital’s noble ladies was profound.
However, he was an illegitimate child, foolish to the extent he couldn’t study well, aside from holding a pretty face, he had little talent, and later was poisoned into muteness.
So, three months ago, most people discussing ng Yunzheng spoke with a sigh.
Until ng Yunzheng overca Gong Qiu, the public realized that his perceived foolishness was a facade, silently enduring for years to exact revenge, akin to those protagonists in tales.
Many noble ladies, originally drawn to his attractive looks, started having thoughts.
But later, Xiao Family arrived in Jiangyuan County, unaware of subsequent events.
Unexpectedly, ng Yunzheng also appeared in Jiangyuan County, and… had such familiarity with Monarch Lu Xiang.
It turned out, the person Monarch Lu Xiang ntioned was him!!
Moreover, what surprised Xiao Family more was that Xiang Weinan and ng Yunzheng were quite familiar, familiar enough that when proposing marriage, he personally brought a goose, acting as a helper.
She glanced again at Xiang Weinan, “Husband, are you acquainted with Eldest Young Master Gong, no, Young Master ng?”
Xiang Weinan was silent, seemingly reluctant to converse with her.
However, in such a setting, maintaining a stern face seed inappropriate, he nodded scarcely, stating, “Acquainted since childhood.”
Xiao Family was stunned, she hadn’t known about this at all.
Acquainted since childhood, so their relationship must be cordial?
Then, was his care for Monarch Lu Xiang out of consideration for ng Yunzheng?
At this mont, Xiao Family wished she could bury herself underground.
