Chapter 28: A Fool or A Cover-up?
Translator: Zhang Yuxin
Proofread by Men Shunde

With a loud “Bang”, Nangong Ning feels the world is spinning all of a sudden, and then feels the pain coming from all parts of her body, so painful that she does not have the strength to scream. And she feels she is going to die.

It takes quite some time before she returns to herself. She struggles to get up, only to be hit on her head by something with a “bang”, and then she feels everything is black in front of her eyes. Before she has time to cast a resentful look at Jun Qianye, who dropped her down, she closes her eyes, losing her consciousness completely

Jun Qianye does not expect the result of his dropping her down would be like that. He is stunned and then his legs start to move, and the next moment he is at the side of Nangong Ning.

“Nangong Ning?”

How can Nangong Ning, who is comatose, respond?

Jun Qiane feels somehow a kind of anger in his heart. It is a weird but seemingly regretful feeling that overwhelms his mind.

He knows very well that she just woke up from the outbreak of her toxin. Why did he drop her down so heavily? Trying to kill her?

“Nangong Ning!” He shouts again, but she is lying on the ground with no reaction at all.

Jun Qianye pauses and then calls out loudly, “Mr. Zong!”

For the first time, Mr. Zong has such a feeling that his Lord, who is always wise and powerful, behaves differently. No, it should be called abnormal.

While he feels her pulse and gives her an acupuncture treatment, Mr. Zong keeps talking, “My Lord, why did you drop her so hard on the ground?”

Jun Qianye ignores Mr. Zong’s question but asks, “Is she OK?”

“Her being dropped down hard on the ground is serious to her,” says Mr. Zong helplessly. “The toxin in Miss Nangong’s body has not been detoxified and she is extremely weak. You dropped her down, which causes her head to be hit. I am afraid …”

Jun Qianye stares at Mr. Zong, asking, “What are you afraid of?”

Mr. Zong replies, “ I'm afraid that it will take a few more days for Miss Nangong to recover.”

Jun Qianye’s cold eyes become even colder.

“Report to me when she wakes up!”

No sooner had Jun Qianye finished his saying than he was gone.

Mr. Zong looks up and then his eyes fall on Nangong Ning with a secretive smile on his fat face.

“Miss nangong, am I kind to you?”

Nangong Ning opens her eyes and gives him a faint smile, saying sincerely, “Thank you, Fat Old Man.”

In fact, she woke up long ago, but the more she thinks, the more she feels that she has been offending Jun Qianye too much. She is so scared that she dare not open her eyes to face Jun Qianye.

“Don’t call me Fat Old Man. Call me Mr. Zong!” Mr. Zong is a little unhappy and says, “Although you wake up, the toxin in your body has not been completely cleaned out yet, besides, you were indeed dropped down heavily. Therefore, you need a good rest. Don't move. I'll give you an examination.”


Nangong Ning nods her head.

She is now willing to take a good rest here, as long as she does not meet Jun Qianye.

When Jun Qianye comes to his study, his anger returns as he sees the mess inside the room.

But now it is not the time for him to punish Nangong Ning for it. Therefore, he has to give an order to have his study cleaned up.

When everything is in order, Jun Qianye finds that Nangong Ning touched something she should not have touched.

However, this thing is very secretive. Normally, Nangong Ning should not have found it, but she did.

He recalls that when he pushed the door open, Nangong Ning seemed to have found it, but she should have no time to move it.

When Jun Qianye thinks about Nangong Ning, there is a strange feeling about her in his mind.

“My Lord,” Weichu comes in at this time.

Jun Qianye gives him a glance and asks directly, “What have you found?”

Weichu takes out a pamphlet and says, “ All is in this.”

Jun Qianye takes it over and reads several pages.

"True as my brother, the Emperor, says that the dowry of Nangong Ning is only one tenth of Nangong family’s assets.”

Weichu nods, “Now that one tenth has already entered the warehouse of the East Palace.”

“The Crown Prince should be happy. Even if it is only one tenth, it is quite a lot,” says Jun Qianye with a faint ironic tone.

Weichu says in a low voice, “The Crown Prince has been secretly cultivating his own power, and this money just comes in handy. And as long as he tastes something sweet for the first bite, he will want a second. Therefore, the Crown Prince will certainly aim at the rest of Nangong family’s assets.”

Rolling his eyes, Jun Qianye asks, “What is the status of Nangong Ning in her family?”

Weichu replies directly, “She is a fool.” With a very low voice he adds, “Though she is the eldest daughter of Nangong family, she has been controlled by her uncle and aunt all these years without knowing the truth herself. If she goes out of the house, she has not a penny on herself. Miss Nangong in such a status is indeed not worthy of my Lord. The marriage bestowed on my Lord by the Emperor is pushing too far.”

Jun Qianye looks serious.

Weichu feels inexplicably that he should not speak at this moment.

After a while, Jun QIanye suddenly says, “She was a fool, but now she does not look like a fool. Maybe … it is a cover-up?”

“My Lord?” Weichu’s face changes. Is my Lord speaking for Nangong Ning? Doesn’t he want to accept the bestowed marrage? Weichu is shocked again. “Are you going to accept this marriage, my Lord?”

However, Jun Qianye doesn’t seem to hear Weichu’s words. With his eyes half closed, he says, “Maybe it is good to wait and see.”
