Chapter 577 Jade Lock Collection
Ning Yunxi corrected with a faint smile.
"The elder brother I'm talking about is not my brother, but the brother I just met outside."
"This brocade box belongs to my elder brother."
"It's a long story, let me tell you slowly when I have time."
Qiu Bi smiled along with her master.
"Girl, you are happy to see this. I guess this big brother must treat you very well, right?"
Ning Yunxi tightly grasped the jade lock, feeling warm in her heart.
"Well, he is very nice to me."
"I was worried about his safety and was originally very unhappy, but now that I see his possessions, I finally feel relieved."
Qiu Bi asked in confusion.
"The girl is crying because she is worried about her brother?"
Ning Yunxi replied.
"Not entirely."
Qiu Bi helped the girl and sat down.
"Girl, look, there is a letter in the brocade box."
Ning Yunxi picked up the letter and saw banknotes neatly spread out under the envelope.
She opened the envelope and read the letter with her eyes lowered: I happened to hear about your identity, and I knew that you should not leave Beijing with me, so I used a trick to return you to your brother. Don't worry, I am safe and sound, and I have not been appointed as the Yinsi Office. All the banknotes in the box are given to you, you can use them as you like, please accept them with a smile, Miss Ning San. The spring rain is continuous, the friendship is long, and there is a long way to go, we will meet again.
Qiu Bi roughly scanned the number of banknotes, and Hong and Yan were shocked.
"Oh my god, girl, your big brother is really financially strong."
"Did he give you these banknotes, or did he leave them with you temporarily?"
Ning Yunxi finished reading the letter, put it away carefully, and placed it together with the concentric jade lock in a secret compartment.
"Give it to me."
Qiu Bi was shocked.
"What? That's too much."
Ning Yunxi held up the brocade box with both hands and handed it to Qiu Bi generously.
"Have you had any troubles recently? If so, take it and use it. Just consider it as a reward from me."
Qiu Bi waved her hands repeatedly and refused in panic.
"Everything is normal for this servant. There is no difficulty."
She gave stern advice and expressed concern.
"Girl, you should buy yourself some necessary things."
After repeated questioning, Qiu Bi actually had no difficulty, so Ning Yunxi changed the subject and continued to explain.
"I am content with the status quo, I don't want to make progress, I don't need anything."
"Brother's kindness should not be used recklessly."
"Let's go to the ticket office secretly and store them. I will return them to my elder brother when we meet again someday."
She was thinking about Qiu Bi's situation and added this sentence deliberately.
"If you encounter any difficulties during this time, you can go and get it. Just let me know when you have time."
Qiu Bi had no intention of using it, but just kept it in his heart.
"Thank you for your kindness, young lady."
Ning Yunxi untied her belt and was about to take off her coat, but suddenly she stopped while thinking.
"Just in case, this is my brother's plan to comfort me."
"I'll go to Yinsitai to see if there are any related matters and confirm my brother's safety."
Qiu Bi was startled when she heard this.
"Yin Sitai?"
"How do we get in?"
Ning Yunxi straightened her clothes and fastened her belt.
"I have a plan. Maybe I can sneak into Yinsitai and look through the books."
If the plan failed, she would be held accountable. She couldn't bear to see Qiu Bi get into trouble, so she gave the order immediately.
"You stay in the mansion, no need to follow."
Qiu Bi was worried that the girl would be in danger, but she was also afraid that she was incompetent and would only cause trouble for the girl. So she was in a dilemma.
"Will it be dangerous for the girl to be alone?"
Ning Yunxi answered firmly.
"will not."
She soothed softly.
"You don't trust my strategy?"
Qiu Bi was thrown to the ground with a loud bang, praising it with all his might.
"I trust you. Your talent and strategy are second to none in the world."
Ning Yunxi covered her lips and smiled.
"Then you wait for me to come back."
After taking two steps, she thought of something else.
"My brother will probably come to look for me when he returns home. Just tell him that I am asleep."
"Remember, don't tell him in person, lest he find out. Find a few servants who don't know about it, and have them clean the yard. Tell them that I'm going to sleep and take a nap, and ask them to keep their voices down and not make any noise."
Qiu Bi responded.
"Yes."
Thinking that Ning Fengzhe was going to Yinsitai, Ning Yunxi chose a secluded path after depositing the banknotes to avoid running into his elder brother.
Her actions violated the law, and she was solely responsible for her actions. She was determined not to drag her brother into this.
At the same time, Wei Chushuang brought a food box and asked to see Yin Sizhong Xiang Teng Yuru under the pretext of delivering food.
When the lady arrived, Teng Yuru naturally agreed to see her.
"I am not on duty tonight, why did Madam send me dinner?"
Wei Chushuang sat down casually and put down the food box.
"I have something important to tell you, so I came here on some pretext."
Knowing that she was on leave at home, Teng Yuru thought that the Teng family was in unrest.
"Oh?"
"What happened in the mansion? Is your madam in good health?"
Wei Chushuang looked solemn.
"It's not a matter of the palace."
"Lord Gao Nan, send a confidant to report that Miss Ning San will be arriving soon. Please cooperate with us secretly and let her check Yin Sitai's books at will."
Teng Yuru was pleasantly surprised.
"Before that, Lord Gao plotted the incident in the western suburbs to lure Prince Li to come and investigate, and to introduce Miss Ning San to him in preparation for future plans. I thought they would need to get along for at least a month before they could get along well."
"I didn't expect Miss Ning San to return home so soon?"
Wei Chushuang's expression was serious, but a hint of admiration flashed across his face.
"The beloved daughter of Masters Yun and Fang is extremely intelligent."
Teng Yuru responded.
"Madam, you are right."
Wei Chushuang talked about the matter at hand.
"This plan has really made Master Yun suffer. He has to raise his sword and stab his beloved daughter with his own hands."
"Alas, Lord Fang, why don't you consider common sense?"
Teng Yuru clarified doubts and answered questions.
"This plan is of great importance. If it goes wrong, it will arouse the suspicion of Prince Li. Lord Yun is unrivaled in martial arts. No one else can be competent except him."
"After not seeing each other for a long time, I am glad to see my beloved daughter again and escort her all the way to the western suburbs. I think Lord Yun must be very happy."
Wei Chushuang was filled with emotion.
"The Fang and Yun tribes have devoted all their efforts to Emperor Yan and his subjects. Their loyalty is truly heartbreaking."
Speaking of Yan Huang, Teng Yuru asked.
"How about King Dijin?"
Wei Chushuang smiled ashamedly.
"I have just been promoted to the position of the Minister of the Guards. My position is low and my position is not stable. I am not trusted and I hardly see the prince. However, I heard from Lord Gao that everything is fine."
Not wanting the lady to belittle herself, Teng Yuru gave up his seat and asked the lady to sit on the upper seat, expressing his feelings with his actions.
"Your Majesty still wants to know when the auspicious sign of the Purple Star will appear and where to go to observe it?"
Encouraged by him, Wei Chushuang smiled happily.
"Over the years, I have been trying to explore it frequently and tirelessly."
Teng Yuru delivered the message solemnly.
"Lord Tang of the Imperial Observatory will soon finish his hibernation and will defect to King Dijin."
Wei Chushuang asked curiously.
“How do I switch?”
Teng Yuru shook his head.
"I am not sure."
"From what Lord Tang said, it seems that he has a plan to stir up a dispute between Lord Zhuang and Master Ning, and then switch sides."
Wei Chushuang regained her composure.
"It's a pity that the Zhuang family is full of loyal and brave people, but Zhuang Shao and his son are disloyal and untrustworthy. It's great that they schemed to use him. This is all retribution from heaven."
"Lord Tang is on good terms with you. Remember to inform him and tell the prince about the astrological signs in the 30th year of Shengping. His words are crucial and must not be wrong. Otherwise, all our efforts will be wasted."
Teng Yuru smiled.
"Madam, please be at ease. I will make it clear again and again."
Wei Chushuang pushed him gently.
"It's almost time, go and cooperate with Miss Ning San in her plan."
