The first night they returned to Assistant Minister’s Residence, Nangong Waner tossed and turned in his bed until it was midnight, then said, ”I'm really speechless towards myself, I still can't sleep on my bed even after returning home.” Nangong Waner was very carefree and happy during those few days at the Duke Palaces. She thought that this was the beginning for her to completely integrate into this era, but she didn't expect that Assistant Minister’s Residence, who had returned to her mind, would be unable to fall asleep while tossing and turning.
It was only until almost dawn that Nangong Waner finally struggled to fall asleep.
During breakfast, Liu Ruo heard from Master Liu that Nangong Waner had returned to Assistant Minister’s Residence, and that in two days, Nangong Waner would be studying with him. Lord Liu continued, ”It's time for you to calm down. Although your mother and I only have one daughter, so your arrogance must have increased a bit, but you are also eighteen years old. I plan to arrange a good marriage with your mother in the next few days.”
”If that's the case, then Father and Mother would like to raise you for the rest of your life. However, your life is still very long, and you will need someone to accompany you for the rest of your life. Father and Mother will definitely keep their eyes open and help you find a good marriage.”
Seeing her mother speak with such sincerity, Liu Ruochen did not say what she wanted to say. She did not retort.
After finishing her meal, Liu Ru could no longer suppress the anxiety in her heart and quickly ran to Assistant Minister’s Residence to talk to Nangong Waner.
Liu Ru was speechless. At this time, Nangong Waner was still sleeping, but there was nothing she could do, she just sat there in Nangong Waner's courtyard flipping through books, and after looking at it for a while, she could no longer sit still, and kicked open Nangong Waner's door.
Nangong Waner muttered a few words, he was a little impatient, he frowned and turned his body, then went back to sleep.
Liu Ru did not have that kind of patience, she quickly walked over and pulled Nan Gong Wen's quilt, patting Nangong Waner hard: ”Wake up, wake up, I have something to tell you.”
”If you have anything to say, then say it tomorrow. Today, I'm going to sleep for a day.” Nangong Waner used all his strength to pull back the blanket in Liu Zhexiu's hands and turned around, leaving his butt and back to Liu Zhiran.
Liu Ruo slapped Nangong Waner twice, ”Miss, I can't wait until tomorrow. Get up quickly!”
Nangong Waner was slapped until he felt pain, and struggled up: ”Did you nail it with your hand? ”You killed me.”
”Hurry up and pack up. I'll go to the front yard to wait for you!” Liu Zhenbiao stormed out of the room.
”This girl, does she step on the Wind Fire Wheel all day long?” There was no choice, Nangong Waner could only stand up, and upon hearing the voice, Ju Xiang came in to help Nangong Waner wash and change.
Only then did Nangong Waner sit at the table and eat something, while Liu Ru also moved the chair over and called out to Nangong Waner in a fawning manner, ”Gale,” when Nangong Waner heard Liu Ru's sudden change in tone, he almost spat out the food he was eating.
”Speak human words.” Nangong Waner continued to take a bite of the porridge and rolled his eyes at Liu Zhe.
”Sigh, we'll have dinner this morning. My father and mother laid a trap for me, saying that they would find a good marriage for me in the near future. They said that I'm not young anymore, and that it's time for me to get married.”
That's a good thing. My father and mother didn't have Lord Liu's awareness. I'm not young anymore, and I don't want to find a good marriage for me. Really, I'm happy for you. If you get married, I'll definitely prepare a big gift for you.” As she said that, Nangong Wan'er realized that she could not take out any big gift, so she added, ”Prepare a small gift.
