Chapter 725 Marrying Instead (1)
In the garden, Nangong Tsang sat quietly by the pool, absentmindedly throwing bait into the water.
Both Shuxiang and Moxiang were sent away by her. Although the two maids saw the unhappy feelings of their own girls these days, especially Shuxiang, they knew that they must have visited the master with His Royal Highness Prince Cheng that day. There was no news about it, but apart from the lack of verbal comfort, there was nothing she could do for the girl. Thinking that this is Fuzhong after all, and there should be nothing wrong, Shuxiang pulled Moxiang and retreated.
Because of the smell of the bait, a tail of koi in the pond gathered their tails and scrambled for food.
Nangong Tsang looked at the carp in the pond melancholy, and sighed faintly. The pond was like Nangong Mansion, and she was just a carp that couldn't live without water.
"Cousin Chen!" A familiar shout suddenly came from the front.
Nangong Tsang raised his eyes and saw that Bai Muxiao, who was wearing a plain dress, was walking towards her. Her fair face was full of powder, and she only wore a pair of pearls in her hair, looking so pure and graceful.
"Cousin Xiao."
Nangong Tsang hurriedly stood up to greet him. Bai Muxiao took Nangong Tsang with him and sat down on the carp-shaped stone bench by the pond. She frowns, but what's on her mind?" Although Bai Muxiao asked, in fact, when she saw Nangong Tsang's gloomy but sullen brows, she had long guessed that the other party was trapped by love.
Nangong Tsang made a smile, "Cousin Xiao, what else can I have on my mind."
Bai Muxiao's eyes flashed, and she simply asked directly, "Cousin Cousin, do you have a sweetheart?"
Nangong Tsang's expression froze for a moment, his slightly wandering eyes turned to Bai Muxiao, and he said in a more serious tone, "Cousin Xiao, please be careful." If even Bai Muxiao could see it, wouldn't the others...
Bai Muxiao wasn't annoyed either. She didn't expect Nangong Tsang to take care of herself all at once. Instead, she would doubt whether Nangong Tsang had any brains. She smiled silently, looked at the pool face, and asked quietly, "Cousin Chen, will you look down on me?"
Nangong Tsang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Cousin Xiao, how could it be? Why do you think so?"
Bai Muxiao gave a wry smile, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "When my father was alive, his wife and concubines were in groups, and they had a bunch of rooms. The news of death only smeared my mother's face... Even in the White House, my cousins and cousins were secretly laughing at me and my mother. Both my grandfather and grandmother were unkind, so that I, a dignified daughter of the White House, could only I can go back to the Nangong Mansion with my mother..."
"Cousin Xiao!" Nangong Chen hurriedly grabbed Bai Muxiao's hand and tried to comfort her, "You can stay at Nangong Mansion with peace of mind in the future. Nangong Mansion will always be your and your aunt's home."
"Cousin Tseng..." Tears flashed in Bai Muxiao's eyes, she took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, then said, "If you want to treat me as your own family, I know it was very rash when you asked me just now. , but I also care about you, cousin Cousin, so I take the liberty to say more."
Nangong Tsang lowered her head and did not speak, but her earlobes were already red.
"Cousin Chen." Bai Muxiao said calmly, "My mother was married to the Bai family at the behest of my parents, according to the matchmaker's words, but what kind of life did she live? If my mother could have been brave at that time. If you make your own choices, you will definitely be much happier than now... And cousin Yue, everyone saw that she was given marriage to the prince of Zhennan by the emperor, but Xiao Shizi's name as a dummy, who will be in the capital? No one knows? Is this marriage really good?"
