Chapter 467 (1/2)

Chapter 467 – Reincarnation (2)

Seeing that Dengxin's hair was combed into a married woman's hairstyle, Ji Man had a lot of questions to ask her too. Once Marquis Moyu left, Dengxin spoke first.

“Liu Rufeng can be considered a good person, but he didn't know that Mistress Yun had already pa.s.sed away.” Dengxin rubbed her nose. “He had originally been planning to come here to see her.”

Seeing that Dengxin's face had remained fair and smooth, Ji Man could tell that she had suffered any grievances. Still, she sighed and said, “That's a satisfactory ending.”

“This servant heard that General Ning is getting married.” Dengxin pursed her lips, “Do you think Gancao would be happy or upset if she knew?”

“She would definitely be happy.” Ji Man smiled. “Gancao would only wish Young Master well. She was a kindhearted girl.”

“En.” Dengxin sniffled. “This servant wants to go see her.”

It seemed that the remaining people had moved on with their lives. It was only Gancao that remained lying in the ground alone. When she thought of it that way, it felt sorrowful.

As a pregnant woman, it wouldn't be appropriate for Ji Man to visit a grave, so Dengxin went there by herself.

Dengxin brought some fruit and paper money and walked to the place that Gancao had been buried.

In two more days, Ning Mingjie would be marrying Pengxin. However, there was someone sitting by Gancao's grave. The weeds and fallen leaves had already been cleaned up. A man, who was wearing a cloak, drank some wine and poured some onto the ground. He used the wine to write something on the tombstone:  Who know how many petals have fallen?

(T/N: This is a line from a poem mentioned in chapter 209. Ning Mingjie writes this poem and gives it Gancao.)

Dengxin pursed her lips and suddenly smiled.

She had thought that other than herself and master, no one else would remember the servant that had died in a fire. As it turned out, Ning Mingjie remembered Gancao too.

Ning Mingjie probably also remembered that this foolish girl had once bashfully praised his calligraphy. He had given her a coral bracelet and said he was willing to marry her.

Dengxin thought that Gancao probably felt happy too. At the very least, there would always be a spot in Ning Mingjie's heart that belonged to her.

With Marquis Moyu's a.s.sistance, the seven-year-old fourth prince was p.r.o.nounced emperor. Wearing his crown, the new emperor officially attended the imperial court secessions.

Ning Yuxuan would stand in the lower right corner's first spot. He would listen to each of the officials speak, then he would tell the emperor how he should handle the matter. Then, borrowing the emperor's mouth, his command would be pa.s.sed.

Ning Mingjie was bestowed the t.i.tle of General Protector of the Nation. Under his military command and his marriage to Yuzhen's princess, he had accomplished great meritorious service.

Someone put forth the suggestion to Marquis Moyu that the army under Ning Mingjie's command shouldn't remain so large. Even if they were close relatives, it was unavoidable that they would one day have conflicting views.

However, Ning Yuxuan didn't take any action. He even smiled and said, “If Mingjie wants something, he can directly come and take it. Yuxuan won't be stingy.”

Hearing these words at the doorway, Ning Mingjie loudly laughed. There were no other words that could have won his loyalty more.
