Chapter 494 - Nie Qingyuns POV 1 (2/2)
---
Nie Sangyu wasn't favored by the marquis, so Nie Qingyun repeatedly went over there to stick his head out for her. Even if other people said his actions were inappropriate and even though he was only a few years older than her, he felt that Sangyu was still the child that he had raised. He couldn't bear to see her hurt, thus Nie Qingyun ignored what other people said about him.

However, later on, Nie Sangyu changed in a sensible woman that didn’t need his protection. Nie Qingyun felt somewhat lost, but he was happy. If she could happily live her life, then he could feel a bit more at ease.
After he had accompanied Sangyu in growing up for the past many years, his mother's sin could be considered paid off. And yet, he had the lingering mindset of a parent, he couldn't help but continue to worry about Sangyu.
Anyone would feel uneasy about her entanglement with Marquis Moyu. Ning Yuxuan didn't like her. It was pointless for her to forcibly keep him in a marriage, but because of the relationship between their families, their marriage couldn't be broken off.
At this time, Sangyu said to him, ”Errong is actually a very good girl.”
Ning Errong, he had known about this person before. She was Marquis Jingwen's junzhu daughter. He could see that Sangyu wanted to matchmake them, but he hadn't made any significant achievements yet. For him to marry a titled lady, he didn't have the confidence.

”Qingyun wants to establish my career first, then start a family,” he answered.
The faintly blushing young woman's eyes dimmed. She silently left. Nie Qingyun watched her back figure and had a tiny impulse to ask her to stay. He sighed. After all, he was already at this age.
However, he felt it wouldn't be right to call out to stop her. Even though everyone knew there would be many benefits to marry Ning Errong, he didn't want to rely on a woman.

As a result, Sangyu came over to act as the go-between. Nie Qingyun felt he was truly too shameless. Even though he had already assented a hundred times in his mind, he still showed a calm expression and hesitated. Finally, he used the excuse that he was doing this for Sangyu's well-being and agreed.
Too shameless.

Errong was so happy. Circling around him and smiling happily like a child, she asked him, ”You won't go back on your word, right?”
”This one won't. This one is willing to marry the junzhu,” he answered.
Errong gigled. She stuffed a handkerchief into his hand and scurried away. He calmly put the handkerchief away. Since that time, he always kept that handkerchief on him.
If they were together, it could be considered a good match? Nie Qingyun thought; it would be fine. He would work hard and rise to a fourth-rank official this year in order to not be a disappointment to the junzhu and her choice.
However, it seemed that Errong had misunderstood many things.
