Chapter 17 A good show
Having said this, Gao Jing clenched his fists in anger, veins bulged on the back of his hands, and he trembled unconsciously.
"Duke Ning is a noble and distinguished person, and Madam Ning holds great power. No matter whether it is Zhong Shuyi who has just ascended the throne, or the weak Prince Chen, they can't do anything to them."
"So, the third Miss Ning is the only one who has to bear the loss of the fake dowry."
"Zhong Shuyi was furious and blamed the incident entirely on Miss Ning San."
“Even though Miss Ning San said frankly that she was completely unaware, Zhong Shuyi was still furious.”
"Even Prince Lian Chen was unwilling to trust the man beside him, and falsely accused Miss Ning San of colluding with people in the Ning Mansion to plot against them."
"Afterwards, Zhong Shuyi discussed with Prince Chen and first used Miss Ning San to continue the family line, and then married Miss Ning Si as his wife, and let the child recognize Miss Ning Si as his mother."
"This way, we can not only maintain the support of the Ning Mansion, but also solve the problem of the fourth daughter of Ning being unable to have children."
"As for Miss Ning San, they naturally feel that it is their own fault."
"Fortunately, Miss Ning San woke up in time and burned it all away. Otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous."
A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of Yan Yu's mouth.
It would be good if we could wake up in time.
Poor her, she finally came to her senses after paying a lifetime price.
She is the kind of person who won't turn back until she hits the wall.
"Ning Mansion is not a place to stay for long."
"Go find a suitable house and renovate it."
"When the opportunity arises, I will let her move in."
Gao Jing couldn't help but suggest.
"There is a difference between men and women. Miss Ning San can at most be considered as the prince's lover. If the prince gives her a house as a gift, it may cause criticism and damage Miss Ning San's reputation."
"Besides, Miss Ning San just got divorced."
“Now is really not a good time to relocate.”
Yan Yu picked up the medical book again.
"This king knows the limits."
"You choose carefully and don't rush."
Gao Jing bowed his head and saluted: "Yes, I obey your command."
……
Xiangzhu Garden.
When Qiu Bi returned from delivering the letter, she saw Ning Yunxi holding a pair of small scissors, leisurely pruning flower branches.
"Didn't the girl say that she wanted to take a nap?"
Ning Yunxi's eyebrows are like a crescent moon and she has a brilliant smile.
"I lay there for a while, and I became more awake, so I got up."
"Is my brother awake?"
Qiu Bi nodded and smiled.
"The prince and the girl are in sync and get up at the same early hour."
"When I arrived, I heard the servants waiting outside say that at 5:45 am, the prince summoned Master Gao Jing to come in. I guess the prince also got up at 5:45 am."
"If you haven't gotten enough sleep, why don't you take a nap after noon?"
Ning Yunxi finished trimming the branches and put down the scissors.
"There's a good show after noon, I really don't want to sleep."
Qiu Bi couldn't help but be curious: "What's the show?"
Ning Yunxi kept the secret.
"Don't you think that Fourth Sister looks nothing like Father?"
Qiu Bi nodded.
"Not only does she not look like the master, the fourth young lady's appearance is completely different from the young masters and young ladies in the mansion."
"Many people say that it's because the fourth girl looks too much like Liu."
At this point, Qiu Bi got the hint and her pupils widened in surprise.
"Miss, do you mean that the fourth girl is not the master's biological daughter?"
Ning Yunxi smiled in surprise.
"It's so smart, it's so clear at first glance."
"You are much smarter than before. It's true that talented people learn things quickly."
Qiu Bi blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
"You're too kind, girl."
"I don't have any talent. It's all because of the good teaching you did."
"The girl said that there will be something interesting after noon. Could it be that... the girl is going to expose Liu?"
Ning Yunxi walked to the desk, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and handed it over.
"When competing for favor with Liu, it is natural that my mother will bear the brunt of it. As a daughter, I should not interfere."
"Write a letter to your mother right away and tell her that everything is fine at Xiangzhuyuan today."
Qiu Bi took the brush and did as she was told.
"Last night, the young lady's plan drove Shui Qing away, but it did not dispel the mistress's suspicion of me."
"I'm afraid the mistress will be suspicious if I send a message so suddenly."
Ning Yunxi smiled.
"I just want her to doubt."
"In Xiangzhu Garden, besides you, she also arranged an informant."
"But that person is not as old as you."
"I don't know if you remember her, but she works in the front hall of Xiangzhuyuan. Her name is Qiongfu."
"If mother hadn't suspected you, she would never have used her."
"After you write, act out a scene with me for Jonve."
"When mother asks her, she will report the truth."
Qiu Bi followed suit and smiled.
"I understand. The young lady is truly the smartest person in the world."
After he finished speaking, the ink on the paper was almost dry.
After Qiu Bi sent the letter, everything went according to plan and went very smoothly.
After lunch, Qiong Fu always had to pass by Ning Yunxi's bedroom on her way back to the front hall.
Qiu Bi seized the opportunity and deliberately raised her voice, saying, "The false news that the young lady asked me to deliver to Xian Yi Residence has been delivered."
As she spoke, Qiu Bi glanced curiously outside the door.
The rest of the servants had already been sent away by Qiu Bi.
Only Qiongfu was left, so she could eavesdrop on their conversation without worry.
Seeing that Qiong Fu had fallen into the trap, Ning Yunxi moved closer to the door intentionally or unintentionally, trying her best not to let Qiong Fu miss a key word.
"Did your mother reveal anything to you?"
"Has mother ever discovered my conspiracy with Aunt Liu?"
Qiu Bi looked contented, and only her lines were full of emotion.
"The lady didn't say anything."
"However, with the wisdom of the lady, I'm afraid she has already guessed the conspiracy."
Ning Yunxi also immersed herself in the play only through words.
"That's terrible. Aunt Liu wrote to me and asked me to help her hold my father back. I absolutely cannot let my father go to Jingzhixuan to look for her today."
"If mother really guessed the conspiracy, she wouldn't interfere, right?"
Qiu Bi pretended to be confused.
"Why is Aunt Liu doing this?"
Ning Yunxi told the story slowly and leisurely.
"Isn't it that the fourth sister is gone? The fourth sister's biological father knew about this and wrote to Aunt Liu, saying that he would come to Jingzhixuan today to ask about the details of this matter."
"You know, the fourth sister was born to a boy from another family, whom Aunt Liu had secretly conceived without telling our father."
Qiu Bi replied immediately.
"Yes, yes, yes. I remember that man's name seemed to be Yu Ze, from Pinxiang."
"In this case, there is no time to lose. Go and hold the master back, young lady."
"Otherwise, if something happens to Aunt Liu, the Madam will lose a big obstacle."
Ning Yunxi agreed.
"It makes sense."
"Father was summoned to the palace this morning and has no plans for the afternoon. He may want to visit Aunt Liu."
"I'm going to find my father now."
Hearing this, Qiong Fu outside the door quickly hid.
By accident, Joan of Arc kicked the broom, making a loud noise.
Ning Yunxi was speechless and had to cooperate by shouting to cover up the sound of the broom falling to the ground.
"what!"
Jonfu stiffened with fear.
Qiu Bi also reacted quickly, and immediately asked with concern: "Miss, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Upon hearing this, Qiong Fu heaved a sigh of relief and thought she was very lucky.
Inside the house, Ning Yunxi couldn't help but whispered in disdain: "This person is so careless that he can't even eavesdrop. I really don't know how my mother chose him."
