The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 83

Zuo Xiangning sat up from the bed and fidgeted in the room upset.

In the evening, when Zuo Yian returned home, everyone in the Zuo family gathered at Shi'an Hall for dinner.

Everyone in the Zuo family was surprised when they saw Zuo Xiangning.

"Is this Xiang Ning?" Mrs. Zuo looked at Zuo Yian.

Zuo Yi'an also looked at the slender, tall and graceful Zuo Xiangning in disbelief: "Ning'er has grown a lot and lost a lot of weight."

Zuo Ziteng looked at Zuo Xiangning and frowned secretly.

Zuo Xiangyu stared at Zuo Xiangning's beautiful little face, her eyes almost falling.

"Grandma, if I'm not Xiang Ning, who else could I be?" Zuo Xiang Ning took out the gift for the old lady and showed it to her, "This is the longevity hairpin that I asked the most famous carving master in Cangzhou to carve for you. .”

Old Mrs. Zuo took it, looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "Yes, the workmanship is indeed superb."

Zuo Yi'an said with a smile: "Now that Xiang Ning is back, her hair extension ceremony must be done quickly."

"That's what the master said." Jiang said with a smile, "The old lady and I have to choose a day carefully."

"Don't forget to send a message to the Gu family." Zuo Yian said with a smile: "The Gu family prepared a haircut gift for Xiang Ning. It was said that the uncle of the Gu family prepared it himself. It was a surprise."

Zuo Xiangning listened nearby and was secretly angry.

It was said that her father was a well-educated man, but he didn't know what was going on in his head. Even if he had a gift with the Gu family, and the Gu family's uncle had prepared a gift, it would be hard to tell him in front of the whole family, right?
"Master, we need to think more carefully about our marriage to the Gu family," Jiang said with a smile, "I'm going to ask Master Xuan Yi to show the horoscopes to the two children again."

"The Gu family has already checked with Master Xuan Yi." Zuo Yian said with a smile, "Master Xuan Yi said that it is a perfect match made in heaven."

Jiang's face changed slightly, and just when he was about to speak, he found someone tugging on his sleeve.

She looked at Zuo Xiangning beside her, who secretly shook her head.

Jiang opened her mouth and said, "Xiang Ning hasn't been feeling well lately. She has been on the road for another day today, so we'd better let her go back and rest early."

"I think Girl Ning doesn't look good," Mrs. Zuo said to Mother Wang, "Give Girl Ning a box of my new Yangrong Pills. If she eats well, I'll give her some next time."

"Thank you, grandma." Zuo Xiangning bowed respectfully to the old lady.

When she turned around and walked out, she saw Zuo Xiangyu glaring at her fiercely.

Zuo Xiangning sighed secretly. If Gu Zhiqing only wanted to marry a daughter of the Zuo family, he might as well marry Zuo Xiangyu to him.

Zuo Xiangning returned to the room, opened the door, and found a man sitting boldly at the table.

She quickly turned around to stop Panyu and Pancui behind her, and entered the room alone.

"Why are you here?" Zuo Xiangning asked in a low voice.

Ling Xiao looked at her with a gloomy face and forced a smile.

"What were you doing just now?"

"Our whole family went to my grandmother's yard for dinner." Zuo Xiangning sat next to her, "At this hour, there are people everywhere, and you are not afraid of being seen?" "I am not afraid of anything now!" Ling Xiao The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he looked at her with phoenix eyes, "I was just thinking, should I go talk to your father now?"

"What are you looking for my father for?" Zuo Xiangning looked at him strangely, "What happened?"

"What did you say?" Ling Xiao said angrily: "What do your family think? You are not at home, and you haven't even done the haircut ceremony. How can you arrange your marriage? Isn't it a big matter of marriage? Should I ask about your wishes? What's more, you are going to the border this time, but for the eldest son of their Zuo family..."

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly stepped forward and covered his mouth, "Keep your voice down!"

Ling Xiao looked at the woman in front of him with a livid face, his chest heaving violently. It took him a long time to take off her palm, and he bit his back teeth and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"What should I do?" Zuo Xiangning withdrew her hand, sat aside, and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"What do you mean?" Ling Xiao stared at Feng Xiao, "I see you are not in a hurry. Could it be that you have already decided to marry Gu Zhiqing?"

"How is that possible?" Zuo Xiangning's eyes widened as well, "What do you mean? You don't want to marry me anymore, right? I tell you, if you don't want to marry, just say it directly. There's no need to take it as an excuse. Excuse!"

"You don't know yet whether I want to marry or not?" Ling Xiao reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting her sit on his lap.

"You...what are you doing?" Zuo Xiangning was startled and pushed him to stand up, "Let me go!"

"Don't let me go!" Ling Xiao hugged her a little tighter and said in her ear: "I tell you, remember it! You are mine, I want to marry you, no one can stop me! I will go to the Gu family tomorrow and ask them to cancel this marriage for me as soon as possible!"

Zuo Xiangning bit her lower lip and said, "I'm afraid this matter can't be that simple."

"If the Gu family doesn't agree, I don't mind letting Gu Zhiqing disappear!" Ling Xiao sneered: "This matter must be Gu Zhiqing's idea!"

"But why would he do this?" Zuo Xiangning was puzzled. "There shouldn't be anything in me that he wants. Could it be that he wants to use me to get closer to the King of Chu?"

This is the most possible reason that Zuo Xiangning can think of.

"Gu Zhiqing might have been running for the gold mine before, but now the gold mine is no longer in my hands... Is it because of Liu Qian?"

Liu Qian helped Gu Zhiqing make a lot of contributions in his previous life.

"Xiang Ning, Gu Zhiqing may really be here for the gold mine." Ling Xiao said with an ugly face.

"What do you mean?" Zuo Xiangning said in surprise: "The gold mine has been sold to you. If he doesn't look for you, why should he look for me? He doesn't want you to trade the gold mine for me, does he? How does he know that you and My relationship? Even if he knew that we had some relationship, he wouldn't be so stupid as to think that you could exchange the gold mine for me, right? How much silver is the gold mine worth, and how much silver am I worth? "

"You are worth more than a gold mine." Ling Xiao hugged her and whispered in her ear: "I know what his reason is, and I know what to do. Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it. "

"You said I was confused. Why on earth did he insist on marrying me?" Zuo Xiangning asked curiously.

"That mountain with the gold mine... others thought it was yours." Ling Xiao said apologetically: "I thought that telling the outside world that the mountain changed hands would arouse others' suspicion, so I let those who work Everyone claims that the mountain is private property given to you by Zuofu."

Zuo Xiangning blinked and said, "Is that why Gu Zhiqing is so anxious to marry me?"

"That should be the reason." Ling Xiao frowned and said, "He wanted to join the King of Chu before, but he failed to catch the eye of the King of Chu. Later, he got a capable cousin, and the King of Qi wanted to pull him over, but he couldn't. I have never nodded, but this time I want to ask you to marry me. One is to increase my bargaining chip for the gold mine, and the other reason is that I know that you have a strong relationship with Princess Chu, and I want to get closer to the King of Chu."

In this life, Gu Zhiqing may have had this reason, but what about the past life?

In his previous life, Gu Zhiqing had a gold mine, his cousin, and a miracle doctor. He was the person whom the King of Chu and the King of Qi fought to win over. He could obviously marry anyone to that idiot Gu Er, so why would he marry himself?
After all, he was also the queen's sister. When he decided to do that, did he care about the emperor and queen at that time?
