My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

Chapter 331 Quarrel

This blatant disdain would have caused Feng Zizhou to argue with her long ago, but today he thought Zhao Ning was very brave and worthy of praise, so he didn't take it to heart and instead chuckled.

"Yes, you're the best!"

Zhao Ning waved her hand and said, "I'm in a good mood today. Come on, let's go have dinner."

Feng Zizhou immediately said, "I want to go to Zuixinlou. I've heard that their new osmanthus wine is amazing, and I haven't tried it yet!"

"The osmanthus wine has been on the menu for over a month now, and you still haven't tried it? I just don't believe it. Since we were kids, weren't you always the first one to try whatever delicious food the restaurant served?"

As Zhao Ning spoke, she pulled Gui Yuan along with a smile.

"You don't know, he can't hold his liquor but loves to drink. When he was a kid, he was tricked by the Cao and Du families. They brought up a few jugs of fruit wine, and he got so drunk that he passed out after only a few sips. He even had his pants pulled down and hung on a tree. He was so humiliated."

These fun things from childhood are things that only childhood playmates know clearly.

Feeling embarrassed in front of others, Feng Zizhou said with a flushed face, "How could I have a poor alcohol tolerance? They clearly did it on purpose. That fruit wine made me drunk in one cup. Zhao Ning, you only dare to talk about it, but do you dare to drink it?"

Zhao Ning made no attempt to hide his mockery: "Why wouldn't I dare? I'm not like you, who would get beaten up by your older brother when I got back! And your sister-in-law would have to rush to my mother to plead for you!"

Feng Zizhou gritted his teeth: "Zhao Ning, you're talking nonsense! When you were a child, your mother wouldn't let you touch a drop of alcohol, let alone a cup!"

The two of them bickering back and forth was quite amusing.

Zhao Ning said, "Yuanyuan, do you know that Zizhou was naughty and clumsy when she was little? She was always teased by other children, so she liked to follow behind Sister Ayun and let Ayun protect her..."

Seeing Feng Zizhou's anger, Gui Yuan quickly defended him: "That's because Princess Rou Shu has been gentle, sensible, calm, and generous since childhood. Everyone who knows her is happy to befriend her, right?"

Feng Zizhou clapped his hands and said, "That's right! I don't like hanging out with you bunch of barbarians. Xiao Yun never laughs at me!"

Zhao Ning laughed loudly: "Yes, you're right. Sister Yun is more than two years younger than you, and you still need her, a girl, to protect you. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Zhao Ning!" Feng Zizhou said angrily, "Do you think everyone is like you, not like a woman? Look at Xiao Yun, and then look at you? Let's not talk about Xiao Yun, Gui Yuan is younger than you, but she is much more sensible and dignified than you."

As they were talking, they arrived at Zuixinlou. The stairs were a bit narrow, and there were several burly men coming down from the top.

Feng Zizhou hurriedly walked up to Gui Yuan, shielding her behind him to prevent her from being bumped into by someone who wasn't paying attention, and carefully said, "Miss Gui, be careful."

Zhao Ning, who had been cheerful, suddenly frowned upon seeing this and headed upstairs. Fortunately, those men were just burly-looking and not truly rude.

Upon seeing a woman approaching, they quickly stepped aside to let Zhao Ning and his group go first.

Zhao Ning went upstairs and looked back. She saw Feng Zizhou carefully protecting Gui Yuan downstairs, as if she would fall even if she went upstairs.

For some unknown reason, Zhao Ning stomped her foot heavily and ran into the private room.

Gui Yuan is such a smart person, how could she not see that Zhao Ning was unhappy?

This further confirmed her suspicions: Zhao Ning's behavior was clearly due to jealousy because Feng Zizhou treated her better.

She narrowed her eyes, looking quite displeased.

I didn't think much of it before because I knew Zhao Ning and Feng Zizhou had a good relationship, but now I find Zhao Ning quite ridiculous.

She's already Prince Ning's fiancée, so why does she still want to take Feng Zizhou?

Guiyuan decided to give it a try.

As she entered the private room, she pretended to almost fall by accident, and Feng Zizhou quickly reached out and caught her.

"Second Miss, be careful!"

Gui Yuan smiled gently: "Thank you, Fourth Young Master."

As she walked forward to sit down, a breeze blew in through the window, and Guiyuan covered her mouth and sneezed, saying apologetically.

"Sorry, perhaps I'm not dressed warmly enough..."

Zhao Ning grumbled unhappily, "You're still wearing my mandarin jacket!"

Feng Zizhou immediately said, "The mandarin jacket isn't windproof. Second Miss, give it back to her and wear mine."

After saying that, he took off his coat and was about to put it on Guiyuan.

Zhao Ning was already angry, and seeing this, she couldn't hold back any longer. She stood up abruptly, pointed at the two of them, and said, "Don't you understand the principle that men and women should not touch each other? Feng Zizhou, aren't you ashamed to be so close to her like this?"

Gui Yuan knew her suspicions were true. She felt a chill, but she also understood that this was an opportunity.

She feigned fear and pushed away the outer garment Feng Zizhou offered, saying, "No need, no need."

Feng Zizhou was also stubborn. The more Zhao Ning talked, the more dissatisfied he became, and he insisted on doing it this way.

"I didn't do anything with her, it was just a piece of clothing. I did take off the clothing and hand it to you before, why did you accept it? Don't you consider yourself a woman?"

"Feng Zizhou!" Zhao Ning was furious.

Feng Zizhou insisted on moving closer to Gui Yuan: "Second Miss, you don't need to be afraid of her. She's the one who's being unreasonable!"

Gui Yuan's eyes reddened, and she quickly hid behind Zhao Ning, shaking her head as she said, "Fourth Young Master, please don't make things difficult for me!"

She seemed to want to speak but held back, her expression one of utter grievance and pitifulness.

Seeing this, Feng Zizhou's anger flared up. He glared angrily at Zhao Ning and said, "Zhao Ning, what do you mean? Why are you bullying a woman?"

"You! You!" Zhao Ning was so angry that he trembled all over, wishing he could rush up and beat Feng Zizhou up.

She reached out and grabbed Guiyuan: "Yuanyuan, you're not allowed to associate with people like that."

However, because she was so angry, her movements were a bit too forceful, and Gui Yuan somehow stumbled and almost fell.

Fortunately, Feng Zizhou reacted quickly and grabbed Gui Yuan.

"Zhao Ning, are you sick? Do you have to make her fall?"

Zhao Ning had felt somewhat guilty, but Feng Zizhou's words completely erased that feeling.

She stared intently at Feng Zizhou and said to Gui Yuan, "Gui Yuan, tell me, will you choose him or me?"

"I... County Princess... Please, don't hold a grudge against the Fourth Young Master because of me." Gui Yuan's tears streamed down her face as she looked at Feng Zizhou. "Fourth Young Master, the County Princess is right. Please don't worry about me."

After saying that, she felt wronged, covered her face, and ran out.

"Hey!" Feng Zizhou couldn't stop her, so he said to Zhao Ning, "Zhao Ning, don't be willful. She didn't bring any maids or her own carriage. We can't expect her to walk back."

Zhao Ning was furious and didn't care about any of that. He yelled, "You're so concerned about her, what are you up to? Why don't you go and deliver the goods, and marry her while you're at it!"

"You're being unreasonable, and I can't be bothered with you!"

Feng Zizhou was still a little worried, so he went downstairs to chase after Gui Yuan.
