Chapter 130: Go away, you look like you are sick!
"Stop chasing me, I'm really tired." Zhiyi was panting with exhaustion.
"Don't run, I won't chase you." The Minister of Rites was gasping for breath.
Ning Zhiyi was so angry at the old man that he laughed, "If you promise not to chase me, I won't run away."
"I didn't provoke you, why are you chasing me?"
Suddenly thinking of his face-blindness, Ning Zhiyi spoke up to prove himself, "Don't be mistaken, I'm Ning Zhiyi, the fifth child of the Ning family."
The Minister of Rites was stunned. "Are you Ning Zhiyi?"
Too bad, I really chased the wrong person!
Now he is directly chasing after the real owner. In this case, he can only make the best of it. He wants to ask this girl what information she has revealed about him!
"Beep——"
"Beep——"
"Beep——"
After three attempts, he failed to ask what he wanted to ask.
His mouth seemed to be sealed with glue and he couldn't utter a single word.
[It's over, Tong'er, the Minister of Rites seems to have really gone crazy. For my safety, I'd better run away first.]
After finally catching up with the person, the Minister of Rites was unwilling to let her go. He took a step forward to block Ning Zhiyi and stop her from leaving.
The system's voice was full of indifference, [Host, don't worry. Don't forget that you still have a protection mechanism. If it doesn't work, just summon the Shadow Army. The soldiers will beat the Minister of Rites like beating a child. It won't be a problem to beat ten Ministers of Rites easily.]
The Minister of Rites silently withdrew his foot. One must be able to bend and stretch. After thinking about it carefully, he was not in a hurry. It would be okay to ask his wife about the questions in his mind when he returned home.
This farce alarmed Emperor Mu Wu, who was worried that the Minister of Rites would pursue someone else if they had a disagreement, so he arranged for several eunuchs to send him back to the Minister of Rites' wife.
The Minister of Rites was so excited to see his wife that he burst into tears, as if he had seen a savior. His day had been like a dream, and he had to talk it out.
He wiped away his sad tears, grabbed his wife's hand, and choked up, "Madam, you don't know what I just went through!"
The wife of the Minister of Rites slapped his hand away and said angrily, "Go away, you look like you are sick!"
Minister of Rites:......
He: "I'll settle the score with you when we get back home. Where's Qingyan? You know your situation. You despise the servant who was assigned to you and send him away all day long."
Knowing that the Minister of Rites was face-blind, He specially trained a servant named Qingyan for him. Qingyan had only one task, which was to stay by the Minister of Rites' side at all times and act as his "eyes".
Qingyan was looking for a book in the study at this time.
The Minister of Rites said that he urgently needed a book and ordered Qingyan to go back to the study to look for it. He was not allowed to come back if he couldn't find the book. Qingyan searched for more than half an hour but still couldn't find the book. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Perhaps the Minister of Rites was too confident in himself, and he always didn't like Qingyan staying around him.
"Ma'am, I can do it alone. I just need to remember the accessories and behaviors that those people often use to distinguish who is who."
"Then why were you chasing after Miss Ning just now?"
The Minister of Rites was silent. He was speechless and got on the carriage like a bullied young wife.
There was nothing fun to watch, so the others left one after another.
The Second Prince's wife was still enjoying the melon today and didn't want to be separated from Ning Zhiyi, so the two got on the same carriage and decided to travel around the capital.
The Second Prince in the Prince's Palace glanced at three people not far away. The Sixth Prince and Zheng Wangyan were playing chess, the Prince was practicing calligraphy, and he was the only one doing nothing.
He encouraged himself in his heart that if he could hold on a little longer, he would be able to return home with his wife.
The Second Prince's Consort, who was sitting in the carriage leaving the palace, sneezed and said to herself, "Is someone missing me? Could it be my father?"
The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and a group of people were carrying red boxes towards the Duan Mansion.
"Reporting to the young lady, we have encountered the team from the Duan Mansion going to the Xia Mansion to propose marriage. There are too many people and we are worried that the horses will be frightened. Let's wait by the roadside first."
Ning Zhiyi had no objection and opened the curtain to watch with interest.
"Does the Duan family have such abundant assets? They just issued a betrothal proposal a few days ago, and today they are issuing a betrothal proposal to the Xia family, with so many betrothal gifts." The Second Prince's wife sighed casually.
"I'm not sure about that. I just heard that Madam Duan loves her niece very much. When it comes to marriage, she lets her niece win over Xia Wanqing in every way."
Ning Zhiyi replied that she heard it from the system.
"Loving your niece? That's not necessarily the case. Wan is just trying to make things difficult for Xia Wanqing." The Second Prince's wife felt it was ironic. "According to the rules, a concubine's daughter can never be ranked ahead of the legitimate daughter of the Xia family. But Xia Wanqing and her daughter are courting death."
"It just so happens that several young ladies of the Xia family are discussing marriages. The Xia family is in a special period and it is the time when they care most about their reputation. So no matter how Wan Shi behaves, the Xia family can only accept it with a pinch of their nose."
Ning Zhiyi suddenly realized that the system would only tell her what had happened, but would not analyze the form. Of course, the form of system analysis was not necessarily correct.
The two sides of the road were crowded with people watching the fun. A child was running around in the crowd picking up wedding coins. The child accidentally tripped a boy who was holding a box. The boy suddenly lunged forward, and the box fell to the ground, with the copper coins in the box scattered all over the floor.
The onlookers were shocked. The servants were holding boxes containing betrothal gifts. Usually, betrothal boxes contained gold, silver or silver notes. Few families would put copper coins in them.
At least ordinary officials and families don’t do that.
Among the crowd there were servants and maids from other mansions who were watching the fun. Some of them had something in mind and immediately turned around and left, preparing to report the news to their masters.
"Mrs. Duan is really courageous!"
The Second Prince's wife chuckled, "You are still young, and you have seen too few private things. Wan Shi has grasped the weakness of the Xia family and vented her dissatisfaction with Madam Xia on Xia Wanqing."
"Just wait and see, there will be no less jokes in the Duan Mansion in the future."
Ning Zhiyi nodded, "That makes sense."
[Today is a good day, what a good day. ] The system suddenly made a sound, and the tone-deaf duck voice startled the Second Prince's wife.
【Tong'er, what's wrong with you? 】
System: [Host, I am so happy. The task of "Wishing lovers to finally get married" has been completed, and the reward "Taming Mechanism" has been issued.
[Haven't you always wanted a pet? Let's look for a pet when we go to the hunting ground this time.]
Ning Zhiyi was so happy that she almost jumped up, [Wow, this is too good to be true, fluffy and soft little pet, here I come! ]
"Is that Miss Ning in the carriage?" The voice of an unfamiliar maid came from outside the carriage.
Tanchun's voice rang out, "But the Marquis's wife wants to see my young lady about something?"
The person who came was the maidservant of Wuning Marquis's wife.
