Chapter 16 Her Past

Chapter 16 Her Past

Gao Jing smiled with his eyes wide open, his lips slightly raised.

"No."

"When Lord Lin was a pharmacist in the Imperial Hospital, he was taught by the prince and grew up with us."

"The prince teaches students in accordance with their aptitude. Lord Lin has made great achievements in his studies and has been able to gain a foothold in the Imperial Hospital at a young age. How can they find out what is wrong with Lord Lin?"

This was flattery, Yan Yu could tell.

"They can guess that this was done by the imperial physician."

Gao Jing nodded.

"Lord Lin does things cleanly. I don't think he will leave any evidence behind."

"Even if they guessed it, they couldn't find out anything."

"But I don't understand. Liu has already been dealt with. Why did the prince use her name to leave a letter for Madam Ning?"

Yan Yu responded calmly.

"Liu Yan is still alive."

Gao Jing was shocked when he heard this.

"How could this be?"

"Duke Ningguo intended to do this?"

"Imperial Concubine Yi put pressure on him to deal with Liu, and he dared to disobey her?"

Yan Yu gave a brief explanation.

Gao Jing suddenly realized.

"So there's a hidden story behind the Xiangzhuyuan fire."

"How did the prince know this?"

"Is this what Miss Ning San said in the letter?"

Yan Yu picked up a medical book and flipped to the bookmark.

"She didn't mention that in her letter."

"I think it was just a moment, and the authorities were confused."

"But she should know now."

"Ning Hanwang wanted to protect Liu Yan, and he would tell her, either explicitly or implicitly."

Gao Jing nodded and continued to wonder.

"So, the plan of Mingxiangcao yesterday was not the work of Miss Ning San, but was the idea of ​​the prince alone?"

Yan Yu responded while reading a book.

"I am a bystander and can see things more clearly. Naturally, I understand some things faster than she does."

Gao Jing found an opportunity and immediately flattered him.

"Your Majesty is extremely resourceful. I am far from being able to match you."

Yan Yu was used to it and his expression did not change.

"Mu Rong is resourceful, Ning Fengzhe is suspicious, and Ming Xiangcao's plan will not provoke them to attack Liu Yan."

"At most, it just planted a little seed of impulse."

"If you want it to sprout, you need to find another way."

At this point, a report was heard from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Ning Mansion Qiubi wants to see you."

Yan Yu nodded, and Gao Jing responded: "Pass it on."

After a while, Qiu Bi walked in.

"Emperor Jin Wang Wanan."

"Young lady has something to say, I came to deliver it."

Having said that, Qiu Bi handed the letter over with both hands and left.

Yan Yu took the envelope and opened it:

Brother, why didn't you communicate with me in advance when you came up with this plan? But please rest assured, I discussed the countermeasures with Qiu Bi in time, and everything went smoothly. Thank you for your clever plan~

Looking at the signature of the letter, a playful expression of a spoiled child was drawn, which was totally unlike the way people in ancient times expressed themselves.

Yan Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled helplessly.

This is what he learned from his previous life, right?

It seems that he and her were very close in his previous life.

Even the identity of a modern man has not been concealed.

Yan Yu couldn't help but wonder, why?

Why was he completely defenseless against her in his previous life?

Is she so trustworthy?

Thinking of this, Yan Yu saw the second letter.

Compared with the first letter, the second letter seemed much more formal, with densely packed text, mainly describing Ning Yunxi's next plan.

After reading it, Yan Yu burned the letter and asked faintly, "I asked you to investigate the past of Miss Ning San. How is it going?"

Gao Jing reached into his sleeve, took out a few pages of paper, and presented them with both hands.

"According to the prince's instructions, I have compiled the information. Please review it."

Yan Yu put down the medical book and took it to take a look.

At a single glance, dark clouds appeared between his brows, and his expression became extremely solemn.

"So she has been treated with so much favoritism in Ning Mansion?"

His previous understanding of her was just the few bits of information Gao Jing had compiled about each person.

Now, I know the details.

When talking about Ning Yunxi's past, Gao Jing was also indignant.

"Rather than being partial, it's better to say that they don't care about Miss Ning San at all."

"What I have been able to find out may only be a tiny part of the story. Miss Ning San's life may actually be even more difficult."

"The ancestors of the Ning Mansion were merchants, and Duke Ning also had the heart to do business, but he was not up to the task, and in the end he lost money and even sold the Ning Mansion's house."

"Fortunately, Miss Ning San practiced medicine and earned a lot of money, which saved the Ning Mansion."

"In theory, the Ning Mansion should belong to Miss Ning San, but they schemed against it and finally put the name of Duke Ning on it."

"To the outside world, Duke Ning is honest and simple, and Madam Ning is gentle and virtuous. Those who don't know them all think that they are a gentleman, a match made in heaven."

"Who would have thought that he would be so heartless and disloyal to his people?"

"They even framed Miss Ning San. In order to obtain the Ning Mansion, they did not hesitate to scheme to make them lose money in business, and used this to seize the power to manage the family."

"I deeply believe that Miss Ning San was too naive and cowardly."

Yan Yu commented immediately afterwards.

"Her actions were not innocent, she just did it willingly."

"People always think that the most reliable people in the world are always family members."

"That's true, but it's not entirely right."

"There are all kinds of things in this world. Some greedy family members are even worse than villains."

Gao Jing agreed.

"What the prince said is absolutely true."

"Before, Miss Ning San lived in Ning Mansion. Not only did she not receive a monthly allowance, but she also had to pay a monthly allowance to Madam Ning for food and clothing. Otherwise, she was treated coldly and was not even given a pot of water."

"Mrs. Ning used the excuse that she had spent a lot of money raising her until she reached the age of marriage, so she had to return the money as soon as possible after she reached the age of marriage."

"After learning that Imperial Concubine Yi was unable to have children, Madam Ning started to think again."

"Mrs. Ning devised a plan to facilitate the marriage between Miss Ning San and Prince Chen, intending to use Miss Ning San's wisdom to get rid of Zhong Shuyi, who was of low status at the time."

"Taking advantage of Prince Chen's loss of power, Imperial Concubine Yi can easily adopt him as her son."

"After that, Miss Ning San will assist Prince Chen in accomplishing his mission and help Imperial Concubine Yi to be crowned as the empress."

"It was originally an exploitation, and Madam Ning wanted to profit from it."

"Zhong Shuyi is also greedy."

"Only Miss Ning San treated her sincerely, but in the end she was left penniless by the two families."

"When Madam Ning first proposed marriage, she pretended to be sincere and said that the betrothal gift was only one thousand taels of silver, and that she would return the full amount along with the dowry."

"When we were going to pick up the bride, Madam Ning suddenly changed her mind and asked for 1,000 taels of gold, and there were many customs and etiquette, and the price was sky-high."

"Madam Ning was so arrogant that she said she was just being polite. Getting married is a big deal, how can we treat her badly? However, the dowry she prepared will definitely be more generous than the betrothal gift."

"Zhong Shuyi and Prince Chen were in a dilemma, so they decided to target Miss Ning San."

"In the end, in the marriage, both families were rich, but Miss Ning San was the only one who was penniless."

"Mrs. Ning's dowry is as much as 10,000 gold bricks, but all of them are kept in Yuchang Bank."

"Yuchang Bank is thousands of miles away."

"It was a whole year later that Miss Ning San found out that the dowry was fake. Madam Ning knew the owner of Yuchang Bank and used his connections to forge the deposit slips and deceive everyone..."
