Chapter 272 What do you think?

After the matter was settled, Qiu Bi and Ning Jiewei left the governor's office and returned to the Ningguo Mansion.

Ning Jiewei relaxed a little, took off her embroidered shoes, and lay down comfortably on the bed.

"I can finally get some good sleep."

Qiu Bi's eyes were friendly and smiling.

"Fourth Miss, don't you want to change your pajamas?"

Ning Jiewei closed her eyes, feeling a heavy sense of relief, and smiled with pursed lips.

"I can't take care of it. Let's go to sleep first."

Qiu Bi gently covered her with a quilt.

"Well, I'll go light the incense burner for you."

Ning Jiewei responded wearily.

"You don't have to do it. Go back to the mansion and I will call the maid myself."

Qiu Bi smiled and bowed.

"Okay, then please go to sleep, Miss. I'll take my leave first."

Ning Jiewei was wandering in her dream, only half awake.

"These days, big brother is busy studying for exam questions, and third sister is not here, so you are bound to be bored. I see that you like Xiaohua very much, so take her to play with you for a few days."

Qiu Bi stopped and was confused.

"Little flower?"

Ning Jiewei turned over.

"It's the little cat in my yard."

As they were talking, Xiaohua came leisurely over. Qiu Bi leaned over and gently held it in her arms.

"Thank you, Fourth Miss. I will return it in a few days."

Ning Jiewei's consciousness became even weaker.

"If I miss it, I'll go to Gao Mansion to find you."

Qiu Bi stroked the kitten and smiled happily.

"If I'm not at Gao Mansion, I'll be at Yuexi Mansion, ready to greet the Fourth Young Lady at any time."

"Fourth Miss, go to sleep. I'm going back now."

Ning Jiewei fell into a light sleep.

"Be careful on the road..."

Qiu Bi hadn't taken two steps when she heard the maid say, "Miss, Lord He sent his attendant to tell you that the eldest master has finished thinking about the examination questions."

Ning Jiewei suddenly opened her eyes and was startled at the same time as Qiu Bi.

"So fast?!"

Ning Jiewei forced herself to stand up despite her sleepy body, furious.

"It seems that he had anticipated that we would have such a move and had been prepared for it. Humph, the most treacherous minister in history, his reputation is well-deserved!"

Qiu Bi was stunned.

"The most treacherous minister in history?"

Ning Jiewei pouted in displeasure.

"I am the Lord in bestowing the title upon him. Am I wrong in that?"

Qiu Bi smiled awkwardly.

"Whatever the fourth lady says is right."

Ning Jiewei threw back the quilt, furious.

"Let's go to the governor's office again and ask Lord He to arrange all the local and various levels of examinations for him. I don't believe that he can prepare tens of millions of examination questions in advance?!"

Seeing that she wanted to get out of bed, Qiu Bi slowly put Xiaohua down, took a few steps forward, took the initiative to help her put on her shoes, and patiently persuaded her.

"Absolutely not, Fourth Miss, don't be impulsive."

"This is against the rules and looks like you are mistreating your subordinates. It will easily give people a handle to accuse Lord He of deliberately targeting Lord Ning."

Ning Jiewei blocked Qiu Bi's hand and put on her shoes by herself.

"Then let Lord He find some faults, saying that there are major problems with his test questions and send them back for rethinking."

Qiu Bi sighed with regret.

"If you can find fault with it, Lord He would have done it himself. I think it's not okay to nitpick. I have no choice but to send someone to inform you of the result."

Ning Jiewei's eyes darkened and she was filled with resentment and anger.

"Damn it... I'm so smart, how can I not be able to control that idiot? Heaven is so unfair, so unreasonable."

Qiu Bi encouraged as he said.

"What the fourth lady said is absolutely right. He has the help of God, not talent. It is impossible for a person to be lucky all the time and have everything go smoothly. The fourth lady will calculate it again and it will definitely succeed."

In the blink of an eye, Ning Jiewei had another idea.

"Let me think...I got it!"

Qiu Bi seized the opportunity and started to flatter him.

"Such a rapid speed, the fourth young lady is indeed very clever."

Ning Jiewei narrated the strategy.

"Instead of getting in trouble, why not be more direct and get him into the Zhuang Mansion and lock him in under the pretext of an epidemic. When he comes out, Third Sister will also be out. With Third Sister here, let's see what tricks he can come up with."

Qiu Bi was approving at first, but then became puzzled.

"That's a good idea, Fourth Miss. But how do we get him in?"

Ning Jiewei's eyes sparkled and she raised her eyebrows and smiled at her.

"The Secret Service is in charge of the epidemic in Shengjing. Aren't you the Secret Service?"

Qiu Bi didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

"Lord Du, the Minister of Secret Affairs, is personally in charge of the epidemic in the Zhuang Mansion. I am several levels lower than her, so how can I have the authority to ask her questions?"

Ning Jiewei thought about it and then made a decision.

"Then I will go to the Tongshitai and ask Lord Xu for help."

Qiu Bi smiled and responded.

"Okay, I'll stay here and wait for your good news."

Ning Jiewei walked to the mirror and simply tidied her appearance.

"Just wait, I'll be back soon."

At this time, Ning Fengzhe had arrived at the Tongshitai before her.

Xu Mingqian stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"I feel really sorry for the trip to Dongshan and for causing Lord Ning to be frightened."

Ning Fengzhe showed signs of fatigue but remained polite.

"You and I exchanged only to break the situation. It's just a small scene. Why should we be alarmed? Sir Xu, there is no need to blame yourself."

"It was me who caused Lord Lou to suffer. I felt so guilty that I couldn't sleep all night."

Xu Mingqian's smile faded, and a look of contempt flashed across his eyes.

"The dead are the greatest. I should not comment on this, but seeing that Lord Ning regrets himself, I have to say something. Lou Xiuyu is a hungry eagle and a hungry tiger. He has been harboring malicious intentions for a long time. He is a man with ulterior motives. Even if he survives, he will be punished by heaven. Lord Ning, don't worry about him."

Ning Fengzhe smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Lord Xu, for your enlightenment."

"Why don't you see Lord An?"

Xu Mingqian answered truthfully.

"He was summoned to the palace and just left. Lord Ning is looking for him? How come I heard someone report that you came for me?"

Ning Fengzhe kept smiling, looking more gentle.

"I just asked casually. I am here to visit Lord Xu."

Xu Mingqian saluted and smiled back.

"Please take a seat."

"What can I do for you, Lord Ning?"

Ning Fengzhe responded with a few points.

"Well, thank you very much. Please take a seat, Master Xu."

After they sat down one after another, his expression changed and he smiled slyly.

"Master Xu did something so great that I was totally unaware of it. I only found out the truth last night."

Xu Mingqian was confused.

"What did I do?"

Thinking about Qianyan Snow Mountain and the dispute he had with Feng Yihe, he felt a little guilty.

"Did Lord Feng say something?"

"Master Ning, please do not believe me. Letting King Dijin go has nothing to do with me. My lips are dry and my tongue is parched. I have given you advice beforehand, but Master Feng is unwilling to listen."

Ning Fengzhe waved his sleeves casually.

"What I'm referring to has nothing to do with Lord Feng, but my fourth sister."

Xu Mingqian felt even more guilty, his brows turned complicated.

"Oh? Fourth Miss Ning?"

Ning Fengzhe fabricated facts and talked about them at length, hinting at something intentionally or unintentionally.

"Last night, I couldn't sleep well. I passed by my fourth sister's residence and saw the lights were on. She was also awake. I went in to show my concern, only to find out that she was secretly in love with me. I was depressed and often had sleepless nights."

Xu Mingqian subconsciously avoided the question and did not admit it verbally, but only asked implicitly.

"It should be a good thing to be at the right age to get married and have your heart set on someone else. Why are you so depressed?"

Ning Fengzhe looked calm, as if everything he described was what he had seen with his own eyes and was true and supported by evidence.

"She confessed that Lord Xu had different aspirations. If she followed him, she would be ashamed of her third sister. But if she was alone, she would feel lonely and unbearable. As a result, she was depressed and often missed her lover, and could not sleep. I asked a doctor to take a look at her. She was already weak. I was afraid that something might happen to my little sister, so I came to ask, what does Lord Xu think?"

When mentioning the word "determination", he emphasized it casually.
