Chapter 10 The Shield(1/2)

Ning Fu was stunned.

Aunt Wang and Hutou mother and son were stunned.

The neighbors watching the excitement on the street were all confused.

Ning Fu is a celebrity on this street, and many people grew up watching Ning Fu.

If Ning Fu gets married, it's impossible for them not to know!

"You...who are you?"

Ning Fu finally reacted and asked immediately.

"Has the official forgotten the engagement with my Liu family?"

The bride replied softly. Her voice was clear and crisp, but also a little childish. She should be a young girl.

When Aunt Wang next to her heard the words "Liu family", her expression immediately changed and she said, "Are you the daughter of Liu Tuiguan's family?"

"Exactly!"

The bride nodded slightly.

Ning Fu frowned.

He had indeed been engaged to the Liu family before, but the engagement had been terminated a year ago.

Now that the other party suddenly comes to your door, it always feels like there is some conspiracy?

"Don't be stunned. Invite people in quickly. If you have anything to do, close the door and talk about it!"

Aunt Wang pushed Ning Fu who was in a daze.

Ning Fu has no parents. As the closest elder, of course she has to stand up and take charge of the overall situation.

More and more neighbors were watching, and Ning Fu could only nod.

Aunt Wang personally stepped forward to help him enter the door, and then told Hu Tou: "Close the door!"

Hutou agreed and hurriedly closed the door.

The crowd of onlookers could not see the excitement, and they all looked disappointed, and slowly dispersed.

In Ning Fu's two lifetimes, this is the first time that his wife has come to his door. At this time, he doesn't know how to deal with it?

"You guys wait here, I'll talk to the Liu family's young lady first!"

Fortunately, Aunt Wang spoke again, and after that, she took the bride into Ning Fu's room at the back.

"Brother Xiao Yi, is she really the woman engaged to you?"

Hutou couldn't control his curiosity at this time and asked.

"I've never met her, how do I know if she is real or fake?"

Ning Fu smiled bitterly.

Not long after Ning Fu was born, he made a marriage contract with the Liu family, which is what Aunt Wang calls Liu Tuiguan.

The official is a sixth-grade official. He is responsible for the trial of cases in Kaifeng Mansion and has considerable real power.

Ning's father was just a small noodle shop owner, and he was not supposed to have any interactions with senior officials of the sixth rank.

However, when Liu Tuiguan was still a poor scholar, he was poor and sick when he went to Beijing to take the exam, and he almost died in the capital.

Fortunately, Ning's father provided money and effort, and finally sponsored him to participate in the imperial examination, so Liu Tuiguan passed the Jinshi examination.

It was precisely because of such an old incident that in order to repay his kindness, Liu Tuiguan betrothed his daughter to Ning Fu regardless of the status gap.

Before, Ning Fu’s studies were funded by Liu Tuiguan.

"Then why did you break off the engagement later?"

Hu Tou asked curiously again.

"Last year, my father-in-law celebrated his birthday. When I went to celebrate his birthday, the elder brother-in-law of the Liu family looked down on me. Not only did he target me at every turn, but he also made sarcastic comments. I was so angry that I had a fight with him, which completely broke my skin.

So the engagement was broken off."

Ning Fu explained.

"Sure enough, none of these officials are good at anything!"

Hutou immediately said angrily.

Ning Fu smiled and said nothing.

In fact, there was a deeper reason why the Liu family broke off the engagement, and that was because Ning Fu was too unsatisfactory.

The Liu family supported Ning Fu's studies, but he had no intention of studying. After studying for so many years, he could not even memorize the Analects, let alone write articles and poems.

This also greatly disappointed the Liu family, so even without the conflict last year, the marriage would not have been possible.

"Since the engagement has been terminated, what is going on today?"

Hutou suddenly asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"God knows, let's wait until Aunt Wang comes out!"

Ning Fu crossed his arms and shook his head. Everything about today's matter was weird.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Aunt Wang finally walked out of the room.

Aunt Wang said with a happy face: "Xiao Yi, you are so lucky to have met such a loving and righteous woman!"

"Why do you say that?"

Before Ning Fu could speak, Hu Tou asked first.

"Miss Liu said that she didn't know about the cancellation of the engagement. She didn't know about it until recently when the Liu family wanted to arrange another marriage for her, but she felt that as a woman, she must stick to it.

She had a big fight with her family over this, and then she put on her wedding dress and came to get married!"

Aunt Wang replied happily.

After hearing this, Hutou also said in awe: "If you say that, the other party is really affectionate and righteous!"

Ning Fu was speechless. Aunt Wang and Hu Tou were indeed mother and son, just the same.

"Xiao Yi, since Mrs. Liu is willing to break up with her family and marry into the Ning family, you have to be nice to her and don't break her heart!"

Aunt Wang warned Ning Fu again.

"Oh, um, I know."

Ning Fu replied very vaguely.

"Since today is Brother Yi's big day, I'll go buy some red cloth and firecrackers and come back to make it lively!"

Hutou suddenly made an excited suggestion.

"No, I'm still in my filial piety period, so it's not appropriate to make a fuss. Besides, we don't know what the reaction will be from the Liu family, so it's best for us to keep a low profile!"

Ning Fu stopped him immediately.

"Yes, yes! Xiao Yi is very thoughtful, Hu Tou, please stop messing around!"

Aunt Wang immediately agreed. Hutou was a little disappointed, but still nodded.

Then Aunt Wang took Hu Tou and left, saying that she wanted Ning Fu and Miss Liu to spend some time alone. After all, if there was no accident, they would be husband and wife in the future.

However, after Aunt Wang pushed the tiger head out the door, she turned around and whispered to Ning Fu.

"Xiao Yi, Mrs. Liu is affectionate and righteous, but the Liu family is not necessarily so, so I think we can just turn the raw rice into cooked rice. It will be useless if they don't want to!"

Ning Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, so he could only say perfunctorily: "Don't worry, Aunt Wang, I know it myself!"

After sending Aunt Wang and Hu Tou away, Ning Fu turned around and came to the door of his room.

After Ning Fu hesitated for a moment, he finally opened the door and walked in.

Ning Fu's room had poor lighting, and it was covered in clouds outside.

The young lady of the Liu family was wearing a brand new red wedding dress, sitting in a dark room, and for a moment she felt like she was watching a horror movie.

Ning Fu stood at the door and had no intention of stepping forward and lifting the hijab off the other person's head. Instead, he asked directly: "Are you really the little lady of the Liu family?"

"If the officials are suspicious, they can directly go to the Liu family and ask. However, my father and brother will definitely be angry. If you go now, you will definitely suffer a lot."

The girl's clear voice came from under the hijab.

The girl's answer did not dispel Ning Fu's suspicion, but she chuckled and asked again: "Tell me, when did we cancel our engagement and what was the reason?"

"On my father's birthday last year, it was indeed my eldest brother's fault, but you also bit my eldest brother and it bled, so please don't worry about it anymore!"

Ning Fu blushed when he heard this.

Last year, Ning Fu had a fight with his uncle from the Liu family. He was not yet an adult, so of course he couldn't beat him.

As a result, Ning Fu bit the other person out of desperation.

Although this was all done by the previous Ning Fu, they are now one, so Ning Fu is also a little embarrassed.

"Ok, I trust you!"
