Chapter 287 Why Should I Believe in Him

Ning Yunxi frowned and sneered.

"How can a two-faced person be loyal? Big brother must be hypocritical."

Zhuang Shao disagrees.

"But, the prince suspected the man in black, and he helped his brother-in-law solve the problem."

Ning Yunxi was puzzled by what she heard.

"what?"

"How did you surround my elder brother and make him suspicious of my father?"

"Which path did you choose?"

"What happened?"

After Zhuang Shao gave a brief account of the incident, Ning Yunxi guessed the whole story. She stroked her chest lightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Uncle Shao forgot this crucial step, otherwise, my elder brother would have taken the lead and the situation would have been critical."

Zhuang Shao washed his hands, lost interest in snacks, and asked seriously.

"You mean to say that my forgetfulness has accidentally caused Lord Ning to rebel?"

The screen behind him, with its magnificent mountains and rivers, stood majestically, making Ning Yunxi's words and actions seem particularly decisive.

"The situation I'm referring to is the safety of Uncle Shao and the adults. It has nothing to do with Big Brother."

"My elder brother said himself that he would never abandon the emperor. He would never surrender sincerely."

Zhuang Shao was very confused.

"Then why did he help conceal the matter of the man in black?"

Ning Yunxi's answer was decisive and resolute, without any hesitation.

"Of course, it's to gain your trust. Uncle Shao is kind, so he took advantage of me."

Zhuang Shao was hesitant and wavered.

"He also helped deal with the informant."

Ning Yunxi raised a question.

"Where is the informant?"

Zhuang Shao answered truthfully and solemnly, recounting what had happened.

"It is the Chief Inspector, Mu Liao..."

After hearing this, Ning Yunxi remained suspicious and looked worried.

"Master Mu is so diligent and conscientious, how could he be an informant?"

Zhuang Shao added further explanation.

"Lord Ning said that Mu Liao secretly sought refuge with Brother Gu several times."

Ning Yunxi was surprised and couldn't understand.

"He said that? And you believed it?"

Zhuang Shao was stunned when he realized what was happening, and lowered his head in shame.

"Ah... this... seems to be the case."

Ning Yunxi held her forehead with her hands, wanting to cry but having no tears.

"Uncle Shao, you..."

Zhuang Shao was in a state of embarrassment, as if he had fallen into a sea of ​​clouds, and he didn't know what to do.

"What he said was so sincere, so I...Xi'er, I'm sorry, I was too hasty, what should I do now?"

After a while of confusion, he came up with an idea.

"Why don't you ask your brother? He might have a solution."

After thinking about it, he looked disappointed.

"It's just... if he knew about this, he would inevitably scold me again, alas."

Seeing his embarrassment, Ning Yunxi immediately refused.

"My uncle is hiding inside, so it's inconvenient for us to do anything. Let's find a way ourselves."

She continued to inquire about the situation.

"Big brother is fake after all, I'm sure you must be suspicious, right?"

Zhuang Shao was displeased.

"Your Majesty is convinced."

Ning Yunxi's eyes were shocked, she couldn't believe it.

"what?"

She ignored everything else and only felt annoyed, and slammed the table in anger.

"Brother is really confused. He doesn't trust his uncle or me, but trusts him instead."

Zhuang Shao gave a reminder.

"King Dijin is like a monarch, how dare Xi'er be rude?"

Ning Yunxi was not only unhappy, but also anxious.

"I'm not in a hurry."

"Why? I have gone through several lives and experienced the pain of death, and finally made him not doubt me. But my elder brother deceived him with just a few words, and he believed me without any suspicion. What is wrong with my brother's heart?"

Putting himself in her shoes and understanding her sadness, Zhuang Shao was kind and patient in comforting her.

"Flattering words are always pleasant to the ear; honest advice from a loyal minister is always unpleasant to the ear. That's why the prince trusted him so easily. Since ancient times, loyalty and flattery cannot coexist. Don't be upset, Xi'er. Why bother to compare with him? Is he worthy?"

Ning Yunxi understood the good intention and smiled slightly.

"Uncle Xie Shao, please enlighten me."

Her anxiety gradually faded, and she focused on her business.

"There are many doubts about this trip. Logically, they shouldn't have changed their direction. How could the elder brother understand the superficial meaning and go to Gandongshan?"

As she spoke, she understood the whole situation and was suddenly shocked.

"There is another informant in Emperor Jin's Palace!"

"That day, my brother invited me to have tea, and he took the opportunity to arrange for his followers to sneak in. So, no matter what the letter said, he would know your real whereabouts as soon as he asked the informant."

"Alas, in the final analysis, I miscalculated!"

"How can he be so omnipresent? It's so infuriating."

Zhuang Shao thought about what had happened in the past few days and decided to believe Ning Fengzhe.

"At that time, he had not yet assisted the prince, so he arranged the informant with this plan. Now, he has changed his mind, and I think the informant has been sent away by him."

Ning Yunxi understood what he meant and was shocked.

"Uncle Shao is willing to believe him and not me?"

Zhuang Shao denied it guiltily.

"No, why wouldn't I believe you? At most I just have a little doubt."

Ning Yunxi remained convinced.

"Then please ask Uncle Shao to accompany me to the Emperor Jin Palace. I will catch the informant and confirm his identity. Big brother's determination is self-evident."

Hearing her confident words, Zhuang Shao gradually became confused and half-believing and half-doubting.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Ning Yunxi recalled the scene of that day and guessed the courtyard where Ning Fengzhe's entourage was hiding, and indeed found the informant.

She did not take immediate action to avoid alerting the enemy. She chose the nearest door, left Prince Dijin's Mansion, and returned to Yuexi Mansion with Zhuang Shao.

"Uncle Shao, you should believe me now, right?"

"If he is sincere, he should send the people off the line. How can he stay here for so long?"

Zhuang Shao was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, and felt confused, but due to their uncle-nephew relationship, he still had a trace of trust in him.

"Maybe he was too busy to evacuate the informant."

"You don't know that Lord Ning has been very busy these past few days. First, Fourth Miss Ning asked him about the family affairs, and then the lords of the Supervisory Office tried to stop him. He couldn't help but be too busy."

"From what I have seen, Lord Ning is indeed sincere. I also abandoned Brother Gu, so I understand his state of mind. Perhaps you have wronged him."

Ning Yunxi was extremely anxious.

"Even after meeting the informant, Uncle Shao is unwilling to believe me?"

Zhuang Shao still said the same thing.

"Xi'er, don't be angry. It's not that I don't believe it, I just have a little doubt."

Thinking that Ning Fengzhe respectfully called him uncle, he put himself in his shoes and explained to him in a serious manner.

"Not only did the prince save my life, he also asked the lords to retreat 20 miles, which is equivalent to handing his life over to Lord Ning. The prince's sincerity is so sincere that I would be deeply moved if I were in his place."

Seeing that he suddenly said he was free, Ning Yunxi emphasized seriously.

"Big brother has never shown any disdain for saving my life and has never treated any lifesaver kindly!"

Zhuang Shao first comforted her and then continued to explain.

"Don't be impatient, Xi'er, just listen to me."

"The prince kept the matter secret and never made it public. I only knew the truth after hearing what Lord Ning said. The prince was so gracious that he issued two imperial decrees. One allowed you to restore your status, and the other conferred the title of Emperor Yue on Lord Ning."

Ning Yunxi was suddenly struck by a bolt from the blue.

"King Diyue? Brother, this is meant as a gift to me of my kingdom."

Zhuang Shao nodded firmly and analyzed it in a logical manner according to his own ideas.

"Yes, I asked the prince quietly, and that's exactly what he meant."

"I humbly believe that Lord Ning's ambition is nothing more than a high position and power. How could he remain indifferent when the prince promised him the importance of an emperor?"
