Chapter 600: Disloyalty

The grass is lush and the warblers are flying, the flowers are red and the willows are green.

Ning Fengzhe protected Ning Yunxi and returned to Xiangzhuyuan, and then returned home on his own.

Wen Jia was waiting anxiously in the front yard, pacing back and forth. When he saw that it was the young master returning, he ran towards him in two steps at a time.

"The young master is finally back."

Ning Fengzhe saw this and took a few steps to catch up.

"Why are you so impatient? Huixinju, what happened?"

The servants were cleaning the front yard, so it was not a place to talk, so Wen Jia helped the young man into the house.

"Nothing is wrong at home, but the master and the mistress are very worried."

"Last evening, the young master sent some snacks to the third young lady. Not long after he left, the young master and the eldest lady came to see you. I reported the truth to you."

"I didn't expect that the young master would never come back."

"Seeing that they were about to blame the Third Young Lady for being obsessed with you, I suddenly had an idea and made up an excuse that the Young Master did not go to Xiangzhu Garden, but actually visited the Xu Mansion."

"They quickly went to Xu's house to confirm. I tried my best to wink at him. Fortunately, Lord Xu understood what I meant and said that the young master had already gone to bed. I made an appointment with him to go up the mountain to practice swordsmanship together tomorrow morning."

Ning Fengzhe did not stay in the front hall, but pointed in the direction of the inner room.

"Do they believe it now?"

Wen Jia continued to support him and walked towards the inner room.

"In front of Lord Xu, the Duke and the Madam naturally had no doubts. They only showed their suspicions after returning home."

"Thank goodness, young master, before leaving the house, the whereabouts you left for the butler happened to be the Xu Mansion."

"The Lord and the Lady combined the two, and finally believed it."

Ning Fengzhe took off his coat and sat on the couch.

"Well, just believe it."

"Last night, things were urgent and I didn't have time to leave a message for you."

Wen Jia understood what was said and was pleasantly surprised.

"Could it be that the young master is so good at foreseeing things that he knew that the master and the mistress would come, and that I would find this excuse, so he wrote down where they were to cooperate?"

Ning Fengzhe allowed him to sit down.

"How can I predict the future? I am just taking precautions."

He twitched the corners of his mouth with great disdain.

"Oh, they are simply ridiculous. They still treat me like a child even though I am twenty-six years old. Are they afraid that I will get lost?"

Wen Jia remained moderate and tried to please and flatter.

"Parents love their children like this, and the young master is outstanding, so he is even more loved."

Ning Fengzhe gently rubbed his eyebrows to relieve his fatigue and pain.

"I'm really tired after a sleepless night."

Wen Jia proposed respectfully.

"I will help you to sleep, sir."

Seeing that he wanted to get up, Ning Fengzhe stopped him in time.

"not busy."

"I'll tell you about Xi'er's situation last night. After you understand a little, go to Xu's house and tell him to help me capture the two villains and put them in the secret room temporarily. I'll deal with them after I wake up."

Wen Jia nodded.

"Please speak, sir. I am all ears."

Thinking of what happened last night, Ning Fengzhe was still feeling agitated, so he poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it to calm himself.

"Last evening..."

After listening to his story, Wen Jia asked a question in confusion.

"From what I heard, there is only one villain, Lord Luo. I wonder who the other villain you are referring to is?"

Ning Fengzhe and Huo Chuo replied.

"The owner of Ruhua Rucha, Bian Jie."

Wen Jia was surprised and reminded in a low voice.

"Didn't you promise Bian that you would reveal the location of the third lady's entrapment and keep him safe?"

Ning Fengzhe's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.

"It's just an excuse."

"What kind of trust and loyalty should I have against my enemies?"

The young master was ruthless, and even though Wen Jia was used to it, he still felt a chill down his spine.

"My lord, you are wise. I admire you."

I would rather follow the wise man's eyes and the water would not cause any ripples.

"I heard him introduce himself as the owner of a teahouse, but I didn't verify the truth."

"We must be careful to prevent him from misrepresenting his identity. It's okay to kill innocent people by mistake, but we must not let the thief go unpunished."

"I will draw a portrait and you will report it to Lord Xu. We can also devise another plan to make sure they have nowhere to hide."

The raindrops are soft and the wind is gentle, floating in the Xiangzhu Garden.

Thinking back to the conversation with her elder brother last night, Ning Yunxi felt uneasy. She always felt that she was really sorry for her father and mother for hiding such an important matter.

After thinking it over, she left her seat and took out an umbrella.

Since it was a matter concerning a woman's chastity, it was not appropriate for her to tell her father in person, so she decided to ask to see her mother and tell her everything.

Without informing anyone, she went to Xianyi Residence alone, holding an umbrella.

It was raining, but Mu Rong did not go out. She sat at home, sewing clothes to pass the time.

Shui Qing's technique is delicate and gentle as she arranges the silk threads.

"Looking at the embroidered clothes of the lady is the most beautiful thing in the world. I am extremely happy."

Mu Rong glanced at her and smiled with relief.

"He's good at talking."

Shui Qing tries to please the lady as if he is showing filial piety to his mother.

"What this servant said is true, and I am not just talking."

"The clothes are almost finished. When the eldest master sees them, he will surely be pleased and praise them highly. He will wear them every day."

Mu Rong felt happy and cheerful as if she saw her son enjoying the product so much that he couldn't let it go.

"Wearing it every day without changing it, wouldn't it be slovenly?"

Shuiqing has a sweet mouth and keeps spouting sweet words.

"A mother's love is flawless. Even if you wear this dress for a lifetime, it will remain clean."

Thinking back to the past few years, Fengzhe had never worn the clothes she made, and Mu Rong became melancholy.

"I don't expect him to like it, as long as he doesn't hate it."

Seeing that his master was unhappy, Shui Qing quickly changed the subject.

"Speaking of clothes, I heard that the third lady has also been sewing men's robes recently, but I don't know who she plans to give them to."

Mu Rong predicted it immediately.

"Feng'er and her have never gotten along."

"No one else is allowed to sew the master's robes except me."

"Who else can she give it to?"

Shui Qing followed suit and ridiculed him.

"She's making clothes for the eldest son again? It's ridiculous. It seems like no one would look down upon her poor craftsmanship."

"The eldest son has a loving mother, why does she need to meddle in other people's affairs?"

When it comes to Ning Yunxi, Mu Rong feels so angry that her teeth itch.

"She had already found an excuse, saying that needlework was not good, and asked Fengzhe to sew clothes for her to practice needlework."

"Actually, isn't it just that she has a crush on him and wants to get closer to Fengzhe?"

"How could she hide her little thoughts from me?"

Shui Qing raised a question.

"But the third girl doesn't know her own life experience and thinks the eldest son is her brother."

"If this is the relationship between the two, how could she be secretly in love with him?"

Mu Rong insisted on her own opinion.

"With her thinking, she should have expected that there would be doubts about her background. Otherwise, why would she be constantly questioned since she was a child?"

"Feng Zhe is handsome and smart, enough to capture the hearts of women all over the world. She cannot be an exception."

Shui Qing was respectful and obedient, and expressed his own views.

"It doesn't look like that to me, so I'm taking the liberty to refute you, Madam."

"The third girl is old enough to know her feelings. Maybe she has someone she loves somewhere else. She sews clothes to express her feelings."

"Her marriage concerns the interests of the eldest lady and should not be taken lightly."

"If she falls in love with some poor guy and can't afford a betrothal gift, all the years of planning by the lady will be in vain."

"Qiu Bi is clumsy and inevitably fails to notice. I dare to suggest that the Madam should test the Third Miss herself and understand the situation in person before she can influence the situation."

At this time, the servant reported: "The third lady wants to see you."

Mu Rong put away her needlework, folded her clothes and put them temporarily in the closet.

"She happened to come, so I went to check it out."
