Chapter 321 The Gift of Life
"If that's the case, then that's my fate... I'm not from this era. Don't worry, if that day ever comes, I'll send you away and won't let anything happen to you..."
"All of this is my own fault..."
"What's more... I was already dead, I died on the day the meteorite landed..."
“I don’t know why I came here, but…”
Zhong Ning's voice choked slightly. "Every day here is a gift from fate. Even if it wants to take it back, it's right."
"Every extra day is a gift from this world. Since I have accepted this karma, I should repay it with the rest of my life..."
"At the very least, before I die, the entire Prince An's Mansion must be buried with me..."
"No, not just Prince An, but also all those scum who participated in the slaughter of those girls and boys... Even if I die, I will drag them to hell first..."
"If the law can't punish you severely, then I'll do it myself!"
Zhong Ning clenched his fists tightly and spoke in a fierce voice. Fang Ping stood there in a daze, shuddering silently.
Then he raised his head, wrapped Zhong Ning's hand in his palm, and said in a firm voice: "You are right, we are already dead..."
"Every extra day you live is a gift from fate."
"Since we have come to this world, we should do more for the people of this era."
“Let’s face the hard work together!”
"The worst that can happen is that I die again!"
"It's not like I haven't died before..."
Zhong Ning nodded heavily, then pulled her hand back, "You're all sweaty, and my hand is wet... Go wash it..."
Fang Ping:.......
He spoke so sincerely, but she didn't seem moved at all!
Oh! That’s all!
"Then please reward me, Princess!" Fang Ping smiled and raised his eyebrows. "I also want a new set of clothes..."
Zhong Ning smiled faintly, then stood up and said loudly: "Come here, bring some water..."
Su Xin and all the others waiting outside:........
Lady Ruan looked up at the dazzling sun in the sky and thought that His Highness was becoming more and more bold. In broad daylight...
This young Master Fang is really something, he came all the way here to seduce Your Highness!
I wonder if the prince consort will be so angry that he won’t be able to eat after knowing this!
Forget it, His Highness has his own plans, so just focus on your work!
Several servants carried hot water to the washroom, and Fang Ping walked in. Zhong Ning immediately ordered someone to bring a set of clothes that had been made for Zhou Ge in the mansion. Although there was a few years difference in age, their physiques were similar.
A quarter of an hour later, Fang Ping came out wearing a jade-green robe with a complicated expression on his face. His face flushed red as he wanted to ask who the clothes belonged to.
After all, Zhong Ning was a woman, and it was impossible for the mansion to make such men's clothing, but she was worried that her question was too direct and would embarrass her.
Zhong Ning seemed to see through his thoughts and said bluntly, "Does the clothes fit? These are the clothes of the young master I support in my mansion. He is currently studying at the academy and only comes back once a month. I'm giving them to you at a discount..."
Fang Ping's voice was slightly hoarse. "Is this the one you mentioned, the one who wanted to keep a concubine?"
"Well, that was originally the plan... but now, I'll just consider it as raising a younger brother! I owe them a debt, so I'll pay it back!"
Zhong Ning positioned Zhou Ge as her younger brother in just one sentence, simply because there were too many handsome men around her now and she was a little overwhelmed.
Zhou Ge is still too young, just be his younger brother!
When he grows up in a few years, I will use the treasures from his ancestors to buy him an estate and find him a wife, and the cause and effect will be resolved.
Anyway, the fact that the child could grow up to be a handsome young man under her protection could be considered as a reward for taking the Zhou family's treasure.
Fang Ping lowered his head, his mind flashing back to the two days she locked herself in the room and the young men standing outside the door.
Except for her future husband Gu Mingzhe.
There are also the Black Dragon Guard leader Si Qiyu and Ying Jibo Fu Yan.
Fang Ping opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but was afraid that Zhong Ning would say something he didn't want to hear.
Never mind, didn't he already know that?
Those two people must be the ones she likes.
She has always been generous to the people she likes, otherwise she would not have been able to attract so many outstanding young men to fall in love with her!
He is also...
Fang Ping hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask, "That day in the courtyard...Master Qi and Uncle Ying..."
Zhong Ning raised his eyebrows slightly and said bluntly: "Qi Yu was the first to express his feelings... As for Shen Yan, I haven't made up my mind yet. In terms of status, he is my cousin, so I haven't gotten over that hurdle in my heart yet..."
"He likes you too, right?" Fang Ping suddenly asked.
"I heard that when King Cheng rebelled, he sent out two private armies to capture me and Ying Jibo respectively."
"Yes, I like it very much... even though I know I come from another world... even though I know that sooner or later I might leave..."
Zhong Ning twisted the tea foam, a little dazed: "Although I don't know why I suddenly became such a charmer."
"But I have to say, he likes me so much that it hurts me. If it happens again, I'm afraid I'll just have to surrender."
"But, I still can't get over this hurdle in my heart right now... He is my cousin after all, even though it's normal for cousins to be together at this time."
"But in my heart, I still can't accept it..."
"But it doesn't matter... When it comes to love, just be happy at the moment. Don't ever have any expectations of being together forever..."
Zhong Ning's eyes instantly regained their composure. "Just like those men who tell me they like me now, if they like me today, they will like others tomorrow..."
"Even if they don't like other women, it won't stop them from seeking excitement..."
"That's just the nature of men... I've been mentally prepared for this."
Fang Ping hesitated upon hearing this and tried to defend himself: "I can't guarantee anything for others, but at least I wouldn't do that..."
"Tsk!" Zhong Ning laughed, his laugh quite ironic. "You actually know more about what you men think than I do. For you guys, love isn't important; what's important is desire..."
"For example, in this era, they demanded that their wives be dignified and generous, their concubines be unparalleled in beauty, their mistresses be delicate and charming, and when they went to a brothel, they had to see the most beautiful courtesan..."
"Back in our time, it wasn't uncommon for married men to keep mistresses. Anyone with a little money would want to find two 18-year-old models or female college students to satisfy their needs!"
"If there is a man in the world who can love his wife till old age, there are only three possibilities. The first is that he is not capable, and the second is that he has no money."
“The former has the will but not the ability, while the latter wants but lacks the capital.”
"And the third type exists only once in a million people. At least as far as I know, I only recognize that one person!"
