Mr. Zong grabs Nangong Ning, who is about to fall, and pulls her out. ”Naturally, you can see it,” he

With the help of and being pulled by Mr. Zong, Nangong Ning is walking out of the Mansion.

Before she reaches the gate, Nangong Ning finds something is wrong, because she hears a lot of noises outside the gate and her face changes.

When she steps out of the gate of the Mansion and sees a crowd of people in front of her, Nangong Ning suddenly understands the anger of Jun Qianye.

If she were him, she would be angry, too.

In front of the gate of the Regent Mansion is a wide main street. Because the Mansion occupies a large area, there are no other honorable residences around. It is always very quiet there.

But now, there are so many people there, just as the saying goes, there are mountain people, mountain sea.

As soon as Nangong Ning is outside the gate, the moderate lower noise suddenly increases its volume, becoming louder, like a wave of sea, sweeping everything in an instant.

“Look, Miss Nangong is coming out! It is true that she has been in the Regent Mansion all this time. No wonder the Lord of the Nangong family comes here to look for her!”

”Yes, it seems that Miss Nangong has been detained in the Regent Mansion since the Emperor bestowed her to the Regent in marriage.”

”Don't talk nonsense about being detained! Be careful not to be overheard by the Mansion guards in case you would be caught and spanked there!”

“Fie! Fie! I misused the word. It is the Regent who wants to cultivate feelings with his princess to be in advance. But it is inappropriate to keep her in the Mansion. After all they haven’t got married yet.”

”So, now the Lord of the Nangong family has come to get Miss Nangong back in person. It seems that the Lord loves Miss Nangong very much!”

…

Nangong Ning has a long face when she hears what they say. Her eyebrows are twisted. Now she has a deeper understanding of Jun Qianye’s anger。

She came to know the true face of Nangong Qingyao, the vicious woman, when she was on the cliff of the Toxic Abyss the other day. And therefore, she came to know better the so-called Lord of the Nangong family, her uncle, as well as his so-called love of her.

It is not because Jun Qianye “detains” her that she stays in the Regent’s Mansion, nor does she intend to hang on there herself. It is because force majeure keeps coming that keeps her stay there.

But why are these people saying that Jun Qianye detains her?

How come that they should talk about like that?

They must have been incited, or there must be somebody who deliberately spreads these rumors, which one passes to another, so that the crowds of people come to the gate of the Mansion in order to watch fun, which in deed “humiliates” Jun Qianye.

These rumors are very vicious, such as Jun Qianye detains Nangong Ning and cultivates feelings with her, targeting at Jun Qianye and the Regent’s Mansion.

At the thought of Jun Qianye's facial expression at that time, Nangong Ning suddenly realizes that it is very kind of him not to strangle her to death at that moment.

You know, he is the Regent of the State of Dongli, noble and honorable. But now, without a reason, because of her, he has got a ”stigma”.

It seems that she must solve these troubles caused by herself now, otherwise, Weichu won't let her go, let alone Jun Qianye.

Just at this moment, a middle-aged man gets off the carriage when the curtain of the carriage in the middle of the crowd is lifted.

“Ning!”

Hearing somebody’s calling her in an urgent tone, Nangong Ning feels a chill in her heart, a wave of memories coming into her mind which do not belong to her.

She is not the original Nangong Ning. Before she meets Nangong Luo, she knows the existence of this person, but her mind did not have a clear picture of the man. Now that he is in front of her, Nangong Ning feels that everything is clear.

Nangong Luo, aged 40, is the second son of the Nangong Aristocratic Family. Since the eldest son, Nangong Ze, is gone, he has become the master of the Nangong Family, and has to take care of Nangong Ning, his niece, who lost her parents' protection.

In the fragments of Nangong Ning’s memory, Nangong Luo has always been very ”caring” for her. But now on reflection, she finds that his purpose of “caring for her” is to mislead her and make her a disabled person. If not, how could she, as the crown prince’ fiancée, know nothing about the long sexual relationship between Nangong Qingyao and Jun Zixuan.

”Uncle, why are you here?” says Nangong Ning, standing up straight, looking at him coldly.

Nangong Luo knows that Nangong Ning may have learnt everything, but he feels that with his understanding of her, he still has a chance to hoodwink her again.

After so many years of caring and raising Nangong Ning, he knows very well how naive and simple she is.

However, when he sees Nangong Ning standing there, up straight with clear cold eyes, he feels his legs trembling a little.

”Ning, you are here as expected. Although you have been bestowed to the Regent in marriage by the Emperor, how can you live here before getting married?”

The surface meaning of what he says is his caring for Nangong Ning, but in fact he criticizes her for her improper behavior, and at the same time, he puts a label on Jun Qianye vaguely.

“Uncle, how do you know that I live in the Regent Mansion?” asks Nangong Ning indifferently, with her lips hooked up and her eyebrows lifted slightly.

Nangong Luo’s facial expression freezes. He seems not to keep up with the pace of Nangong Ning.

”I…, I saw you just coming out of the Regent’s Mansion.”

Nangong Ning’s lip line slightly curves with an evil smile on her beautiful little face which he has never seen before.
