Chapter 408 Shocking Secret
Ning Chuyi saw that she looked unnatural and stopped talking.
He could see that she wasn't in love with him yet, but it couldn't be rushed.
"I know you have no plans to get married for the time being. Between you and me, as it was in the past, it can be the same in the future. You don't have to worry about anything, just do whatever you want."
Although he liked her, he would not force her to do anything.
Ling Chu had a headache. She didn't expect that she didn't give up Ning Chuyi's idea, but was almost convinced by him.
Ning Chuyi was confident in her physical condition and felt that she would be able to find a doctor with skillful medical skills to take care of her.
But Ling Chu was not as optimistic as him.
No one knows better than her what her own body is like.
Her second senior brother could be called a miracle doctor, but he could not cure her.
It's not that his medical skills are not good, it's that if she wants to survive, medical skills alone are simply not enough. She has to rely on herself to continuously accumulate merit to survive day by day.
She didn't know why Mr. Ning was so pleased with her. Maybe it was because he hadn't often come into contact with those ladies before. Now that he often interacts with her, he regards his good impression of her as happiness?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Ning Chuyi thought she was shy, "It's a cool and windy night, so go back and rest early."
"Okay." Ling Chu looked up at the sky and agreed softly.
Mr. Ning is independent-minded and tough-minded. Since I can't convince him for a while, I can only let it go for a while.
Maybe it wouldn't be long before, without her further persuasion, he would realize that his feelings for her were just an illusion.
Ling Chu raised his hand and prepared to stand up.
Unexpectedly, when I was halfway up, a voice mixed with anger suddenly came from the distance, "Let me ask you, is Ning Chuyi my son?"
Ling Chu was frightened when he suddenly heard this shocking secret.
Unable to control his body, he fell forward.
"Be careful." Seeing that she was about to fall off the rockery, Ning Chuyi whispered, quickly reached out to grab her arm and pulled her back.
Ling Chu's back instantly felt as if he had hit an iron wall.
But she couldn't care less about the pain.
The person who asked the question in the distance probably didn't hear the other party's answer, so he asked angrily, "Why don't you answer? Ning Chuyi is my son, isn't he?"
Ling Chu didn't want to pry into other people's secrets, but at this time they were on the rockery and couldn't escape. She could only tense her heartstrings, stand stiffly, and sit back motionless.
Ning Chuyi was beside her, pursed her lips and lowered her eyes in silence. You couldn't see any change in his expression, but the air pressure around him was like a solid ice cave.
"No. Ning Chuyi's surname is Ning, so he is naturally the son of Wei Chen." Ling Chu had never heard this voice before. But along the way, she has become very familiar with it.
That was Ning Guogong's voice.
"I don't believe it. You have lied to me for so many years, and now you want to continue to lie to me. How brave you are."
"Wei Chen doesn't dare."
"If Ning Chuyi is not my son, how come his appearance is so similar to mine?"
"The world is full of wonders. There are people in this world who are not related by blood but look alike. Your Majesty does not need to care."
"Don't think that I don't know that your wife has always disliked Ning Chuyi. If he was your son, how could Mrs. Ning Guo not want to see him at all?"
Duke Ning Guo was silent for a while and then said in a deep voice, "It's not that my wife doesn't like Yi'er. It was Wei Chen who told her that Yi'er is the eldest son and will inherit Duke Ning's palace in the future, so she has strict requirements on him in everything."
"As far as I know, Mrs. Ning Guogong is never close to her eldest son, but she is always considerate and considerate to her second son."
"This is a fact. I don't deny it. But it was Wei Chen who stopped me from doting on my eldest son. Only then did she transfer her love for my son to Shaoxuan."
Although he suppressed his voice, it was inevitable that the volume would be a bit high during the argument. What the two said was clearly heard by Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi.
And the information revealed by these words is not just what the two argued about.
That was Ning Chuyi's life that was criticized.
"I don't believe it."
"You don't want to admit it, right? Well, I will set off tomorrow and ask Ning Chuchu personally."
Duke Ning Guo frowned so hard that he could kill a fly, "Your Majesty, your fever has just subsided. You must not rush out now. You should stay at the inn and rest for two days."
The emperor had a cold face and didn't want to listen to Ning Guogong at all. He turned around and left with a puff of sleeves.
When Ning Guogong saw this, he could only follow up quickly and try to persuade him again.
The two of them drifted apart.
Ling Chu sighed secretly and raised his eyes to look at Ning Chuyi.
There was a strong sense of loneliness in his straight back, and his handsome face had no warmth at all. The sword eyes were lowered, although she couldn't see what he was thinking.
But he also knew that he must feel uncomfortable at this time.
Ling Chu didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only stay by his side silently.
I don't know how long it took, but Ning Chuyi suddenly raised his eyes and said hoarsely, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Ling Chu nodded and said softly while walking down the stone steps, "Although a person cannot choose his own origin, he can definitely choose his own life.
I heard that from the time you entered the officialdom, to where you are today step by step, it was all due to your own efforts. "
"The excellence of your Excellency is obvious to all. You are still so young, and you will definitely have many great achievements in the future. You should look forward in life."
Ning Chuyi walked slowly beside her, listening to her trying to think of words to persuade him, the light in her eyes turned from dark to bright.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Although he did feel bad when he first heard the emperor questioning the Duke of Ningguo.
As far as he could remember, he knew that his mother didn't like him. At first, he thought that he was too naughty, ignorant and not obedient, which made his mother unhappy.
But later, he was obedient in everything, studied hard and practiced martial arts. He made a lot of efforts and was praised by everyone, but his mother still didn't smile at him at all.
He was confused and puzzled. At a young age, he even asked his mother in person why she didn't like him.
But his mother didn't say anything, just treated her coldly.
He was sad and ran to ask his father because he couldn't get an answer.
His father didn't ignore him and listened to him carefully. But he only told him that he was very good and it wasn't his fault.
He seemed to understand, but he didn't understand anything.
His father was very good to him, but also very strict, but his mother ignored him everywhere.
He didn't understand, and he was unwilling to accept it. The harder he tried to be better, the less his mother looked at him.
His temper became silent day by day.
Later, when he grew up, he heard his mother questioning his father why he passed off his illegitimate child as his own. He then realized that his mother didn't like him because he was not her own child.
Knowing that he was not the eldest son of the Ningguo Mansion, but the son of a concubine, he became more and more taciturn and even inferior.
He was sad and painful, but there was nothing he could do except accept this cruel fact.
But he didn't expect that as he grew up, many people would openly and secretly point fingers at him and talk about his appearance, whether in the mansion or in the academy.
He asked around and found out that others were saying that he was the emperor's illegitimate child.
