MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 560 Shangsi Festival
Soon, Shen Ningning heard from Lu Shaoyuan that Pei Yin had regretted his decision.
“This Pei Yin, who is also the deputy commander of the imperial army, is so dishonest that he would rather pay double the amount of money than sell the house.”
Lu Shaoyuan was very angry when he told Shen Ningning.
He was very dissatisfied: "Pei Yin said that this house was given by the emperor, so after going back, he thought about it and felt that it should not be sold, so he regretted the agreement."
"But why didn't he say that earlier? I've even found the craftsmen and arranged the drawings. It's a good thing he made the trouble so suddenly."
At that time, Shen Ningning was practicing calligraphy and just wanted to have peace of mind.
She was not surprised at all after hearing what Lu Shaoyuan said.
It must be that Mo Lingwei did not allow Pei Yin to sell the mansion.
“Forget it, there are so many good houses in the city, why bother buying his.”
Hearing what she said, Lu Shaoyuan felt that his anger had dissipated a lot.
"You're right. My eldest brother also said that you shouldn't buy his house, otherwise there will be a lot of embarrassment and trouble in the future. Then I will go out for a walk in the next few days. When I see something good, I will take you to see it. ."
Unexpectedly, Lu Shaoyuan asked several houses that were for sale. They said they were good at the time, but after two days, they all changed their minds and said they would not sell them.
Even in the entire capital, no one dared to sell the house to him.
No matter how slow Lu Shaoyuan was, he still noticed something.
There are some clues as to who is obstructing this.
The prince did not want Shen Ningning to marry anyone else, and he certainly did not want them to build a new house.
Lu Shaoyuan was of course angry because he didn't want to make Shen Ningning suffer, but there was nothing he could do about it.
If it’s just someone else, that’s the prince.
Fortunately, Shen Ningning was open-minded, so she comforted Lu Shaoyuan: "It doesn't matter. Otherwise, we can live in the princess's mansion. My house is big enough. We can live in a courtyard each of us."
The sorrow on Lu Shaoyuan's face was wiped away, and he smiled brightly: "That's fine, otherwise, we can live in our own house. Fortunately, my mother bought a lot of land deeds in Beijing at that time, and took out a set at random for the craftsmen to start work. I change my accommodation every month and it’s never the same every year.”
Shen Ningning was amused by him: "Then I can live in a new house in three years?"
Lu Shaoyuan paused and said tentatively: "Maybe longer."
What if, he meant what if, Shen Ningning fell in love with him and wouldn't leave?
Shen Ningning didn't answer. She didn't want to give Lu Shaoyuan undue hope.
I learned that Shen Ningning and Lu Shaoyuan were not worried about the house, and their marriage had reached the stage of looking at each other's horoscopes.
Mo Lingwei's anger grew day by day.
He once left the palace and pretended to pass by casually at the gates of Xie Mansion and Xiangyun Village.
But he didn't expect that he would never meet Shen Ningning every time.
When he went to Xie's Mansion, she went to visit Ye Changyi's home; when he went to Langshan, she stayed back at Xie's Mansion.
It was such a coincidence two or three times, and Mo Lingwei gradually came to his senses.
She was deliberately avoiding him.
It is too easy for Shen Ningning to grasp his movements.
She is so good at communicating with small animals. She only needs to scatter a handful of food, and hundreds of birds will naturally become her intelligence spies.
Mo Ling was helpless for a moment.
Until, Meng Wan had the courage to find him and invited him to accompany her to the Shangsi Festival.
Naturally, Mo Lingwei would not go, but Meng Wan Ning said: "My daring invitation is not for myself, but so that His Highness the Crown Prince can resolve the misunderstanding with His Highness the Princess, so I made a special effort to find out clearly that Her Highness the Princess will be meeting her friends that day." If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can take this opportunity to get back on good terms with the princess during a beautiful trip, Wan Ning will also be happy about it."
What she said was conclusive, but Mo Lingwei didn't completely believe it.
He arranged for Wu Fang to inquire, and finally learned that Shen Ningning had indeed made an appointment with Ye Changyi, Qi Xiuwei and others to release paper kites during the Shangsi Festival.
Therefore, on the day of Shangsi Festival, Mo Lingwei followed Meng Wan Ning to the Shangsi Festival Gala.
Shangsi Festival is held in the peach blossom forest near the water in order to bring good luck to the spring outing.
The weather was sunny and cloudless. Under the clear blue sky, the peach blossoms were blooming, and the young ladies and gentlemen accompanying them formed a beautiful scene.
The paper kites are floating in the sky, and they are all different and colorful.
Meng Wan Ning was walking behind Mo Lingwei. She couldn't help but attract his attention and pointed at a blue butterfly paper kite in the sky.
“Your Highness, look, the shape of this paper kite is really unique.”
Mo Lingwei hummed perfunctorily and didn't listen carefully at all.
His cold eyes kept wandering around, and Meng Wan Ning could see it. The prince just wanted to see Shen Ningning as soon as possible.
Her heart sank, and she felt something indescribable.
Mo Lingwei's appearance made some young men and ladies who knew him have seen him stop and look at him.
When Mo Lingwei approached, they each said hello, hoping to take the opportunity to talk to the prince.
However, Mo Lingwei always looked indifferent. Meng Wan Ning, who was walking behind him, became the second focus of everyone's attention.
Many people whispered—
"It seems that the previous rumors are true. Miss Meng has the favor of the prince, and she is afraid that she will become the prince's concubine."
"Just her? Even though the Meng family's status is not low, she is still far from being a crown princess! The concubine is barely enough."
“But apart from Princess Funing, the prince has only taken her out with her. Have you ever seen the prince take other women with him?”
Everyone fell silent.
Meng Wanning felt the envy, jealousy or indifference of this group of people, straightened her body slightly, raised her head and followed Mo Lingwei's footsteps.
Suddenly.
Mo Lingwei paused and looked forward.
Meng Wan Ning followed his gaze and saw Ye Changyi and the others arranging paper kites under a peach blossom tree.
Next to Ye Changyi stood Xu Jingxi, Qi Xiuwei, Liang Yici, Jiang Zhi, and even Chen Shaobei. They even brought Wu'er, the boy from Shen Ningning's shop.
However, almost all of Shen Ningning's friends were there, but the only person he wanted to see was missing - Shen Ningning.
Mo Lingwei's eyes were slightly gloomy. When Chen Shaobei looked up, he saw it and was suddenly stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Shaobei whispered a few words to Jiang Zhi beside him, and then hurriedly ran towards Mo Lingwei.
Shen Ningning's group of friends stood there in the distance, whispering to each other, not knowing what they were talking about, but Mo Lingwei guessed that they must be talking about his unfortunate appearance and Shen Ningning's absence.
“Your Highness, you actually came to the Shangsi Festival to see the paper kites?” Chen Shaobei’s calm face also showed a hint of disbelief.
In previous years, Mo Lingwei found this kind of activity boring.
That's why Chen Shaobei didn't call him this year.
Mo Lingwei's sword-shaped eyebrows and thin eyes were very gloomy: "You were having a good time, and you came here carrying Gu on your back?"
Chen Shaobei smiled helplessly: "How dare I have fun behind His Highness's back? It was just Jiang Zhi who invited me."
Mo Ling snorted coldly, and asked casually, "Is it just you people?"
"Well," Chen Shaobei understood and guessed who he wanted to ask: "Her Royal Highness the Princess was originally going to come, but I heard that Grandma Qin cut her hand, so she stayed at home to take care of her."
Mo Lingwei pursed his lips.
Should he go to Xiangyun Village?
Perhaps she needs help?
But it seemed a little obvious that he would go immediately.
Chen Shaobei noticed Mo Lingwei's hesitation and took the initiative to invite him, "Why don't Your Highness come with us to look at the kites? If you get tired later, it's not too late to go back."
This step was just right. Mo Lingwei nodded immediately: "Just follow what you said."
He followed Chen Shaobei in the direction of Ye Changyi and the others. Meng Wanning thought for a while and followed.
Ye Changyi felt unhappy when he saw her.
Some time ago, she was clinging to Xu Jingxi, but now she thought she had a chance, and she was pestering the prince again.
Those girls who were close to Shen Ningning didn't talk to Meng Wan Ning very much.
Even Xu Jingxi just nodded towards her as a greeting.
Since Mo Lingwei was relatively familiar with them, these people did not dare to ignore him. Therefore, Meng Wan Ning was gradually squeezed out of their circle and could only stand not far away and watch them fly kites.
This was an opportunity she had finally fought for, so how could she be willing to be left out like this?
Meng Wanning stared at Ye Changyi's back, feeling quite angry.
These people must have listened to Ye Changyi's instigation.
Meng Wanning couldn't swallow this breath. She rolled her eyes and suddenly thought of an idea.
Ye Changyi held the paper kite and lowered the rope little by little.
Xu Jingxi gave instructions from the side: "Slow down a little, otherwise you will easily cut your hands."
Ye Changyi laughed: "I'm not that stupid. I'm the best at flying paper kites. In the past, every year during the Shangsi Festival, I would fly the highest paper kites."
Sudden.
When Ye Changyi stepped back, she stepped on something and heard a crisp cracking sound.
Meng Wan Ning's anxious voice sounded: "Ah! Miss Ye, why did you trample on the paper kite I wanted to bring to the princess!"
Ye Changyi just turned around. She had just been playing with the kite and didn't notice that Meng Wan Ning actually put her kite behind her and was winding the thread.
Looking at the paper kite with the names of Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei written on it, she trampled it to pieces.
The paper kite on the Shangsi Festival is of great significance, symbolizing the relationship between men and women and praying for it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a love-making festival.
Now, she has trampled it to pieces.
Over there, Mo Lingwei's cold eyes were already looking over. (End of chapter)
