Just to please Ning Zheng, I want to protect his mother's family's wealth and glory.

Emperor Ming attached great importance to Ning Nanyou back then, so he entrusted him to Master Lu to teach. Ning Nanyou's personality before the age of seven was not as gloomy and sad as she is now. She was young and intelligent, and she never remembered the books she read. She was also very kind, and was loved by Lu Yu and the old general of Yue. He had a long-lasting ambition and had the heart to assist the king. At that time, Ning Zheng had never shown his strength among the kings and ministers.

At the end of the second year of Jianguang, Emperor Ming passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne, and changed his reign to Yangjia. At that time, Zong Zheng happened to find out that Dongqin Gong bought and sold private land deeds outside his fiefdom, annexed land, expanded private government merchants and farmers, and secretly reselled private salt, accumulated hundreds of thousands of yuan of private property, and squeezed out the fat and ointment of the fiefdom.

In order to settle the matter for his mother's family and preserve the glory of the Li family, Li Xiangjun, who was young but precocious, chose to betray Ning Nanyou and ask Ning Zheng for help.

In the second year of Yangjia, Ning Nanyou happened to be eleven years old. Emperor An had only been ascended to the throne for about one year. Ning Zheng, the king of Huai, gradually gained power and stayed in Luoyang to participate in politics. His fiefdom was originally just a county in Poyang, and his land was surrounded by a small country and he did not guard the key points. However, later, this small Poyang country was gradually expanded by Ning Zheng into Huai State, and was granted the title of Qichun, Xindu and other places, and his status in the court became more and more prominent. At that time, Ning Nanyou, even though he endured his father's insult in the mansion and watched his mother madly and unscrupulously, he did not have such a deep obsession in his heart and could not change it. Thanks to Master Lu's belief that he always supported him, the young boy had the desire to continue to realize his ambitions and ideals.

But... it was precisely because he met Lu that the elder General Yue got closer and closer, and Ning Zheng also hated him even more. He had issued several orders to imprison him in the palace and refused to leave the palace to meet Lu, Yue and the other two.

At the end of the second year of Yangjia, it was because Li Xiangjun told Ning Zheng that he had left the mansion privately, which caused the eleven-year-old Ning Nanyou to be sent by Ning Zheng to the western desert far away in the sky, and was fed by hunger wolves. He was hungry and thirsty, and his life was hanging on a thread. It was also at this time that Dong Qingong, who had never participated in the affairs of the court, followed the officials in order to maintain the glory of the Li clan in this huge party struggle, and participated in the Lu family's Yue clan's crimes for rebellion. Like everyone at that time, he chose to pour this surging sewage on Chang Mengjun's head. Then he hurriedly moved out of Luoyang and returned to the fief Xiapi.

Li Xiangjun was left by Dongqin Gong in the Huai King's mansion in Luoyang. He saw with his own eyes that Master Lu was condemned by Emperor An and was sent to death.

However, she knew that Lu Yu was very important to Ning Nanyou, but she concealed the matter from Xiu and his letters, saying that everything was fine in the capital. Ning Nanyou was far away in the western desert. After being rescued, she came to her uncle Cao Yong's home and received Li Xiangjun's letter, so she did not rush back to the capital.

Who would have expected that when he followed his uncle's car to return to Luoyang, he got the news that Mr. Lu was killed by the enemy and the more strange the old general was captured by the enemy and died on the battlefield.

Li Xiangjun never told Ning Nanyou every word. Although she was only over nine years old at that time, her mind was terrifying. She knew that if she told Ning Nanyou about the capital, Ning Zheng would definitely abandon the Li family, abandon her, and never let her step into Luoyang. In order to stay by Ning Nanyou's side and at the same time, Li Xiangjun chose to hide it.

In order to take care of his sister, King Cao Yong of the Punishment asked Emperor An to stay in Luoyang for several months. Fortunately, Cao Yong was accompanied by Ning Nanyou at that time, and saved Ning Nanyou who wanted to fulfill his life repeatedly and supported him to find out the truth about the Chang Mengjun rebellion case, which made Ning Nanyou, who was already disheartened, feel a little desire to live.

At that time, Ning Nanyou never thought that his trusted friend or some of his favorite girls would help his father Ning Zheng hide it from him or even betray him.

At that time, when Li Xiangjun was worried about decadence and pain in Ningnan, he still pretended not to know anything, and was with Ningnan. He took care of him little by little, and read and talked with him every day.

Poor he knew nothing, and he still felt that Li Xiangjun must be his wife in this life.

Even King Cao Yong of the Punishment King realized that this woman was destined to be with him and intended to engage the two of them.

The ancestors of the Li family were related to the Cao family. After they passed on from generation to generation, they gradually became distant relatives. In terms of the relationship between the previous generation, Li Xiangjun should have called the Cao brother and sister, and they called the aunt and uncle, and they were the daughter of Ning Nanquan's cousin who was the crown prince at that time. Cao Yong felt that he was in a good match with Ning Nanyou.

Even Ning Nanyou himself believed that when he became an adult, he would marry Li, protect and respect her for the rest of his life, and be in love without doubt.

In the second year of Jiankang, Ning Nanyou was seventeen years old. While he was desperately pursuing the whole story of the incident of Chang Mengjun's rebellion and the truth behind the scenes, his relationship with Li became better and better.

Just when he thought that he would marry Li Xiangjun after performing the coming-of-age ceremony, and from then on, he had a small family of his own. By chance, he encountered Li Xiangjun and Wei Cao, who was a friend of his brother. Later, he heard Ning Zheng’s conversation with her, and then realized that for many years, the eyeliner that his father buried beside him turned out to be Li Xiangjun, who was determined to marry as his wife, and called him his wife.

The pain of being betrayed by the closest person made Ning Nanyou feel depressed for a while.

Later, Wei Cao was seriously injured in order to save Ning Nanquan, who had ascended the throne and became the new emperor, and was seriously ill in bed. Ning Zheng took the Li family and forced Li Xiangjun to marry into the Wei Mansion.

When Ning Zheng said this, Ning Nanyou stood beside him, watching his fiancée being forced by his father, but he didn't say anything, just because he felt desolate and ridiculous. Because the woman he regarded as his wife agreed without hesitation. He agreed to marry Wei Cao, who was seriously ill, and abandoned him.

Later, Li married into the Wei Mansion and had private messages with him, asking him if he had liked him over the years. In the letter, he apologized to him several times, explained the reason to him, and expressed his feelings.

However, Ning Nanyou lost the mood to get involved again, and from then on, he hated Li very much. So later, when he saw Li Xiangjun, who was one year younger than him in the Wei Mansion, he could no longer call him "Shuang'er" or "Madam Wei", but "Sister Jun." He completely distinguished him by his brother and sister-in-law.

In the autumn of the third year of Jiankang, Wei Cao died of illness.

Li Xiangjun moved out of Luoyang with the Wei clan and rushed to Xiapi.

After that, the two of them never met.

Ning Nanyou has been pressing down on these old past events and has never mentioned them to anyone.

Therefore, it seems that everyone thinks that although Ning Nanyou was more or less thinking about Li Xiangjun when he was young, it was just because of his uncle's connection, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words. They all think that he didn't like Li at all, so he forced Li Xiangjun to marry into the Wei Mansion in anger.

To this day, many people still feel that Ning Nan has let down Li and abandoned his fiancee who has been with him since childhood.

Even Ji Xianzhi believed that when Ning Nanyou heard that Ning Zheng wanted to marry Li Xiangjun into Wei Cao Mansion and marry him for this marriage, there were two reasons why he said nothing. One was that he did not like Li enough, and the other was that he wanted to clear the blame for the four sects of Lu, Yue, Lu, and Murong, and rehabilitate the unjust case, so he had no intention of thinking about anything else.

It was not until the seventh year of Jiankang that once, Ning Nanyou got drunk at the Yu Huanyilou, two brothers from Jianye and Zhou. After Ji Xianzhi helped him back to Ning's private house, he heard him talking nonsense after he was drunk and realized that there was such a thing between him and Li back then.

In the middle of the night, Ning Nanyou woke up and hugged him and burst into tears. It was the only time he saw him crying so heartbreakingly. He never shed tears, and his strength was so strong that it made people feel sad.

It was that time that he expressed all the pain that had been buried in his heart for many years and all his emotions for Li, and at the same time he also won his heart and completely gave up on Li.

After many years, Li now owns Xia Pi, Nanyang and Wei’s private property. When they meet Ning Nanyou, they are still so greedy, quarrelsome, and terrible, which makes people very annoyed.

Ji Xianzhi sighed.

Ning Nanyou didn't allow him to say much about these things, nor did anyone know them, as if he was trying hard to hide the fact that he had hope for Li and had good wishes. Or rather, he was hiding the fact that he once liked Li Xiangjun.

Later, no girl in this world could enter his heart and get close to him.

Ji Xianzhi knew that since Ning Nanyou was eleven years old, he had been looking for a girl who had depended on him in the yellow sand of the Western Desert in private. He also hoped that if Ning Nanyou could find this girl one day, he would regain a love that could accompany him for the rest of his life and lead him out of his obsession.

However, when Ning Nanyou found Yan Chunniang, who might have been the man of the past, Ji Xianzhi could not read a happy expression from his face. It seemed that even the woman who had saved him and had relied on him could not be compared with Li Xiangjun, who had lived in his heart for a long time.

Now, Ji Xianzhi finally saw that Ning Nanyou was moved by Jiang Chengjia and was looking forward to it.

I hope that Ms. Jiang can be with him, take care of him and treat him well.

Ji Xianzhi thought about a lot of past events, and as he thought about it, his eyes were wet without realizing it.

He stood up and cleaned up the room again.

Just as he was preparing to go to the laundry room of the Tingsi, Qianshan brought two maids with two crimson food boxes and walked in.

"I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Ji." Qianshan bowed slightly to him.

Ji Xianzhi held the clothes and glanced at the food box in her hand and said, "Why are you here?"

Qianshan smiled, but she lost her angry and anxious expression in front of the Dongchu yard. At this moment, she said to him obediently: "The lady sent me to deliver tea and soup cakes to Mr. Ji, as well as the squid cakes that were fresh in the city and the palace in the past two years."

Ji Xianzhi was stunned and asked, "The lady has made a meal and sent it to the South Courtyard and left another one for herself. Why do you still miss the old servant in the mansion? It really makes me frightened."

In this world, where can anyone personally cook fried rice, snacks and cakes for the servants?
