When Nangong Waner saw Uncle Wang running over with a head full of sweat due to his own shouts, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked politely, ”Uncle Wang, I heard that you had a nephew who was good-looking and talented, but it's a pity that he was jealous of the heavens and died young. When I heard about this, my heart really ached.”

Uncle Wang was confused. When did he have such a handsome nephew? The son of the Old Wang Family was very thin, and there weren't many males in the family. The only one with a similar age was still disappointing, could it be, ”Miss, are you talking about the one who was beaten to death at wanhua tavern?”

Ju Xiang could only laugh as he stood at the side, but Nangong Waner was actually acting very seriously, ”Aiya, Uncle Wang, I know, I even know about it. What a pity, isn't this what you call being jealous of the heavens?”

”Miss, it's not a pity that he died, but Miss still wanted to give me two taels of silver to collect his corpse. I felt that it was really shameful, and in the end, I heard that his corpse was carried away by wanhua tavern and was thrown into an unmarked cemetery.

Wang Burton paused before continuing, ”I wonder why Miss suddenly asked about this?”

Nangong Waner slowly drank a mouthful of tea, and spoke in a relaxed manner, ”Isn't this Ju Xiang? Originally, I wanted to marry Ju Xiang to that handsome nephew of yours, but who knew that I was a step too late. I called for Uncle Wang to come over, and wanted to ask you, does your hometown still have such an outstanding nephew for me to see? Don't worry, I don't have any requests. We can get married next year. ”

Although Ju Xiang knew that Nangong Waner was only teasing him, on the surface, he couldn't help but be a little afraid, afraid that the Young Miss would betroth some random person to him in the future.

The butler, Uncle Wang was a very simple and honest person, unable to grasp Nangong Waner's methods at the moment. He could only reply honestly, ”Even if my nephew is alive, he is not worthy to be with Ju Xiang, Miss. Furthermore, the son of the Old Wang family is always weak, other than the yellow-haired boy who was beaten to death in wanhua tavern, I heard that he is about to enter the academy, so it is not appropriate for him, Miss.”

Just as the butler finished speaking, Nangong Waner laughed happily and said, ”Six years old, he is not a popular child bride right now. I see that Ju Xiang is both knowledgeable and gentle, it is really appropriate for your Old Wang family to marry him. Ah, right, Ju Xiang even knows how to read words, he doesn't even need a reading partner anymore.”

Ju Xiang was really afraid now, the young miss was not speaking the truth this time, right? Looking at Nangong Waner's serious expression, his words sounded as if he was lying.

Ju Xiang felt more and more that Nangong Waner wanted to marry him out. Thinking of this, Ju Xiang became extremely terrified, he kneeled on the ground with a ”plop”, grabbed onto Nangong Waner's thighs and cried out loud, ”Miss, Ju Xiang is wrong, the person Ju Xiang talked about, Shangjing City is so brainless, Miss, you are so intelligent, from ancient times till now, no one can compare to you. Miss, you better not marry Ju Xiang off, it's really my fortune that Ju Xiang was able to serve such an intelligent lady. ”

Nangong Waner laughed complacently in his heart, ”Little girl, I can't play with you anymore, I am the ancestor of acting, the double responsibility of looks and acting.” As he thought about this, he turned to the butler, Uncle Wang, and said very seriously, ”Uncle Wang, Ju Xiang and I have a deep relationship with her, and suddenly, I can't help but marry her off to some child-rearing bride. Let's talk about this another day. If you have any other matters, you should go and take care of it.”

Hearing Nangong Waner's words and seeing Ju Xiang act out a scene, Housekeeper Wang seemed to understand, today was another scene where Nangong Waner dug and buried Ju Xiang, Housekeeper Wang quietly sympathized with Ju Xiang, ”Being able to serve the young miss, is truly not easy, not easy at all.”

After the butler Uncle Wang left, Ju Xiang told Nangong Waner a few more of the Prince Zhan's gossip, which Nangong Waner was not very interested in. Ju Xiang did not say anything.

Just as Nangong Waner was bored to death as he flipped through the drawing books and drinking the tea, Lord Assistant Minister proudly took an invitation and walked into Nangong Waner's courtyard. When Nangong Waner saw the invitation from afar, he instinctively felt a headache.
