After the daughter was treated harshly by her family, everyone knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Chapter 1042 The Woman of My Dream

Following the method taught by Gu Yihe, Ning Yunxi took a wedding invitation and returned to Ning Mansion to visit Lan Tong.

When she first saw the wedding invitation, she thought it was the princess's destiny, and her blue eyes were delighted as she accepted it with both hands.

"Congratulations, princess. Congratulations, princess."

After Prince Di Jin was enthroned as emperor, he did not send out wedding invitations. I guess the son-in-law was someone else.

Lan Tong opened the wedding invitation, wanting to see which man was lucky enough to marry the princess, but when she saw the groom's name, her whole body stiffened and she stood there in a daze.

Ning Yunxi corrected.

"The village chief's congratulations are wrong."

"It's not me who's getting married, but Shopkeeper Tong who's getting married."

The blue pupils looked frozen in time.

"I have spoken carelessly and rashly, please forgive me, Princess."

Ning Yunxi smiled broadly.

"It's my fault for not making it clear in time."

"Shopkeeper Tong is about to hold a wedding and sent wedding invitations to Yuexi Mansion. I don't know if it was sent by mistake or what, but your name is written in the distinguished guest section on one of the invitations."

"I'm afraid it would be unlucky to send the wedding invitation back to him, so I'll deliver it on his behalf, sincerely inviting the village chief to attend their wedding."

Lan Tong forced the corners of his mouth to keep smiling.

"Yes, thank you princess."

She asked questions in a casual manner.

"I don't know this man named 'Qi Ren'."

"Excuse me, Princess, which noble family does she belong to?"

Ning Yunxi also spoke in a casual tone.

"She is a girl from Bingqingyuan. She is homeless and was taken in by Shopkeeper Tong."

"She's new here, you probably haven't seen her before."

Lan Tong looked lost.

“I still remember the shopkeeper saying that even though he was surrounded by thousands of flowers, his heart never fluttered.”

"Miss Qi must have some extraordinary qualities that made the shopkeeper unable to restrain himself?"

Ning Yunxi followed the plan, made up stories and praised them lavishly.

"Miss Qi is stunningly beautiful. Her portrait is only on display, and before her livestream debut, there's already a long line of people waiting to book a spot."

"I'm not exaggerating. In time, Miss Qi will become a popular anchor in Shengjing, and even famous throughout the world."

Lan Tong felt even more lost.

"Such an outstanding girl, no wonder the shopkeeper is attracted to her."

Ning Yunxi asked suddenly.

"Why don't you congratulate the couple?"

"Does the village chief have any other intentions?"

Lan Tong was stunned and unable to react in time.

"No...no."

"I just thought that I would wait until the wedding day to bless them in person."

After saying this, she pondered.

As the princess said, I don't seem to want to congratulate them.

But why?

Why do I feel sad instead of happy when I see the shopkeeper find someone he likes?

Could it be that I...

Seeing that she was thinking, Ning Yunxi paused for a moment and then acted as if he was having a sincere conversation.

"There's something I want to tell you, should I?"

Blue eyes are submissive.

"Princess, please speak."

Ning Yunxi looked somewhat distressed.

"Today, Miss Qi came to see me and confided in me that Shopkeeper Tong was trying every possible way to delay and was determined not to sign the marriage certificate with her."

"She asked for help and hoped that I could help persuade her."

"Afterwards, I summoned Shopkeeper Tong and asked him indirectly about the reason. By chance, I learned from him that the woman he was attracted to was not Miss Qi."

"The person who tied the bell must untie it. If I want to mediate, I must first find that woman."

"Excuse me, Village Master, do you know who the woman is that Shopkeeper Tong is attracted to?"

Lan Tong didn't understand what was going on.

"Unknown."

"The shopkeeper only said that the woman he liked was someone else, but he didn't say anything about what happened between them?"

"If there is something I have experienced, I might be able to judge from it who it is."

Ning Yunxi conveyed Manager Tong's words and recounted every detail of their time together.

"He said……"

After she finished speaking, she asked.

"Does the village chief know this person?"

Caught off guard, Lan Tong's expression showed a hint of embarrassment when he heard the shopkeeper's intention.

"I……"

"Didn't the shopkeeper reveal who she was between the lines?"

Ning Yunxi answered cautiously.

"I don't know many people in Bingqingyuan. Even if Manager Tong hinted at someone, I have no idea who he was referring to."

Lan Tong asked.

"You didn't ask him directly?"

Ning Yunxi frowned with worry.

"I asked."

"He didn't want to say it. He said that the woman already had a good partner, and he didn't want to intrude and disturb her peaceful life."

"It sounds like that woman is married. However, after carefully examining his words, I discovered that she is single. The reason he didn't dare to express his feelings is because he felt that he was not worthy of her."

"I think we should find that woman and ask her about her feelings. If they are interested, I will act as a matchmaker and bring them together. But if she is not interested, I will persuade Shopkeeper Tong to change his mind and be devoted to Miss Qi."

Lan Tong was uneasy and confused.

"Since they are in love, Princess, please bring them together. Then, what should Miss Qi do?"

Ning Yunxi expressed his views and offered solutions.

"A loveless marriage is worse than hell. Miss Qi will marry someone else."

"I will help her find a lover and bring them together."

Having said this, she pretended to be slow to react and startled.

"The village master is a little strange today, what's going on?"

"It seems that since I told Manager Tong my story, your expression has become increasingly strange."

"Could it be that the woman Shopkeeper Tong is attracted to is you?"

Lan Tong was at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"I……"

Ning Yunxi tested her heart.

"You can't answer correctly, I think so, almost right."

"No wonder Shopkeeper Tong is so tight-lipped and refuses to reveal who his dream girl is."

"It turns out that he didn't lie. The woman he likes is indeed not single."

"Don't worry, Village Master. I know you're devoted to my father and have absolutely no other feelings for him. Leave this matter to me. I'll persuade Shopkeeper Tong to put aside his delusions."

Lan Tong was worried.

"Princess, have you met Her Highness the Sixth Princess today?"

Ning Yunxi denied it.

"Your Highness came to look for me, but unfortunately, I was out on business and we didn't get to meet."

"Why did the village chief suddenly ask this?"

After some consideration, Lan Tong decided to confess everything.

"The princess has been so kind to me, I really shouldn't have hidden it..."

"That's just the way it is."

"I foolishly thought I was infatuated with Lord Lin. Fortunately, the princess enlightened me and I finally came to my senses."

Seeing her frankness, Ning Yunxi also opened up to her.

"I'm also hiding something, actually..."

Hearing the sincerity of the words, Lan Tong was moved from the heart.

"Thank you, Princess, for your trust. I am deeply grateful."

Ning Yunxi urged.

"Since you know 'Qi Ren' doesn't exist, what are you waiting for? Why don't you go meet Shopkeeper Tong?"

"He said, 'I long for you day and night, and seeing you is like a drought-stricken seedling longing for rain.'"

Lan Tong's eyes were filled with worry.

"How do I explain this to Lord Ning?"

"I'm afraid I'll cause you unnecessary trouble."

Ning Yunxi didn't care and just smiled.

"No trouble."

"I will ask for an imperial decree to allow you to move out of Ning Mansion."

"You two originally had no relationship. With King Di Jin protecting you, he wouldn't dare to get involved."

"Hurry up and go to Bingqing Garden. Manager Tong might be waiting anxiously."

Lan Tong glanced at the sky.

"It's just right. It's almost dinner time. I'll make a few side dishes and send them to him."

Ning Yunxi is enthusiastic.

"I'll give you a hand."

Lan Tong panicked.

"I am terrified."

Ning Yunxi smiled.

"You're welcome, Village Master..."

The imperial decree was issued, and Lan Tong and Ning Hanwang broke up.

At dinner time, Lan Tong walked into Bingqingyuan with a lunch box and saw Tong Zhe.

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling infinite warmth.
