Chapter 870 Do You Underestimate Me?

Ning Jiewei received an anonymous letter inviting her to meet at a restaurant in Shengjing South City.

She did not dare to move rashly, and took the letter to Yuexi Mansion to ask for help from her third sister.

"Sister, look, this is a luxurious place. Can I go there?"

"Prince Li is very likely hiding in Shengjing. Could this letter be related to the government?"

Just looking at the content of the letter, Ning Yunxi did not find any traces of court strategy.

However, when it came to Prince Li, she was unsure and not very confident.

"Your concern makes sense. This may be King Li's plan."

Ning Jiewei became nervous when she heard this.

"What does he want to do? Arrest me and threaten you?"

Ning Yunxi racked her brains to find a breakthrough in the letter.

"Um……"

After thinking for a long time, she still had no idea and smiled awkwardly.

"Prince Li is unfathomable. With my dull intelligence, it is difficult for me to predict his plans."

Ning Jiewei firmly believed that her sister was the smartest person in the world, so when she heard something wrong, she immediately refuted it.

"Sister is not a dull person, so I have no idea. It must be because Prince Li is too sinister and sister is too righteous. The difference between the two is very clear."

Without allowing her sister to be modest, she quickly added her own words.

"Should we ask the prince to gather his trusted aides to discuss important matters?"

Ning Yunxi looked particularly serious and meticulous.

"It's not appropriate to rashly gather everyone together when the matter has not been decided. What if it turns out to be a false alarm? Wouldn't that be playing a prank on my colleagues?"

Ning Jiewei is ingenious.

"If I ignore it and just pretend that I haven't received this letter, will Prince Li's plan fall apart?"

Ning Yunxi disagreed.

"Prince Li's plan will not fail on its own. If you take a step back, it may be even more dangerous."

Ning Jiewei was shocked.

"Ah? He's so powerful?"

She suddenly realized.

"By the way, I heard you talk about meeting your fifth senior sister before."

"Sister, why don't you ask her?"

Ning Yunxi nodded.

"Well, I'll go ask."

Ning Jiewei then left her seat.

"I'll go as well."

Ning Yunxi gently pushed her back to her seat.

"You stay in Yuexi Mansion, it's safer."

"Wait until I come back."

Ning Jiewei was reluctant to agree.

"Ok."

After a while, Ning Yunxi came back and conveyed the words of the fifth senior sister.

"Senior Sister Gao Yan, this letter has no use in court scheming and should have nothing to do with His Royal Highness Prince Li."

Ning Jiewei smiled with relief.

"So maybe this is what my stepmother is thinking again."

"The former has been laid out. Yesterday, I have already started planning the next step, officially competing with my stepmother in wits and courage."

"Sister, you didn't see me, but I looked so proud when I won."

Ning Yunxi warned.

"Be careful not to hurt Madam Xu. Uncle Shao misses you every day and is extremely worried."

Ning Jiewei is almost certain to win.

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

She stood up and adjusted her skirt.

"Since everything is alright, I will go back and continue with my plan."

"Sister, please be busy. I will leave now and go to the luxurious and beautiful Nanshi."

Ning Yunxi suggested.

"I'll disguise myself and go with you."

Ning Jiewei was unhappy.

"Sister, do you underestimate me?"

"I am more than capable of dealing with my stepmother's thoughts."

Ning Yunxi spoke softly and made her intention clear.

"I'm afraid that Prince Li will use the dispute over the Xu family residence to cover up his real plan, relax our defenses, and take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in."

"I ask Master Guan to select a few guards, change into their regular uniforms, and come with me. They will sit near you and protect you."

Ning Jiewei understood and accepted it gladly.

"Okay, thanks, sister."

After everything was ready, they set off, one after another, and walked into the Nanshi Restaurant, which was filled with delicious food.

Ning Jiewei followed the instructions in the letter, sat down in the elegant seat by the window, ordered a pot of tea, and waited for the person.

Ning Yunxi wanted to book the private room opposite, but was told by the store owner that all the private rooms on the second floor were booked by a distinguished person.

In order to protect her sister, she had to find another way to sneak in.

Before she could think of a plan, she saw dozens of people, in groups of three or five, walking to the second floor of the restaurant and sitting in various private seats.

She immediately asked why.

"Didn't you say that it was reserved by a noble? Why were they able to dine in the private room on the second floor?"

The store owner answered truthfully.

"They are all relatives of that noble man. They were invited to come and have a meal together."

Ning Yunxi instructed Guan Ningjing to use a trick to invite one of the people sitting in the elegant seats on the second floor.

After questioning, it was learned that they were not relatives of the nobleman, but people hired by the nobleman to cooperate with the show.

Ning Yunxi gave him some silver and asked him to pretend that they were his relatives. In this way, he blended in with the group of "relatives" and sat near the fourth sister.

Soon, Xu Yingyuan and her brother came together.

Ning Jiewei was sipping tea and admiring the scenery outside the window, and did not notice the person coming.

Ning Yunxi recognized them at the first moment and secretly put on guard.

The group of "relatives" followed Xu Yingyuan's instructions and pretended to be ordinary guests, eating their meals and chatting leisurely.

Xu Yingyuan and her brother were sitting in a private room beside the stairs.

Xu Shuobo still couldn't wait.

"Where is the beauty?"

Xu Yingyuan pointed slenderly.

"Look, there she is sitting."

Xu Shuobo turned to look where his elder sister pointed.

In the corner, there were two elegant seats, with two women sitting alone drinking tea. One had an ordinary appearance, while the other had a stunning appearance.

He took a quick look and knew where the beauty was without asking any questions, and then he smiled with satisfaction.

"Why is she sitting so far away? Will she let me condescend to invite her over?"

"Wait a moment, elder sister. I'll be back soon."

Xu Yingyuan pulled him back to his seat.

"Don't worry."

"I've warned you many times to behave properly so as not to scare her."

Xu Shuobo shook off her hand, looking anxious.

"I remember that. I will behave myself properly when I get in front of her."

Xu Yingyuan held him back again.

"Don't leave in a hurry. Listen to me."

"She was madly courted by a playboy, and she couldn't bear the pain, so she had already become wary of him."

"If I had told her directly that I wanted her to meet you, she would definitely not come. So, I wrote an anonymous letter to arouse her curiosity and come to see the person who invited her."

Looking at the beauty, Xu Shuobo's lips were filled with frivolity.

"Haha, interesting."

Xu Yingyuan gave many warnings and instructions.

"You seize the opportunity, perform well, and try to win the beauty in one fell swoop."

"Remember, this is not a brothel. Don't scare her with your charming appearance."

Xu Shuobo's tone was somewhat perfunctory.

"Okay, I know. It's easy for me to win the love of such an innocent girl."

Xu Yingyuan made hidden plans and guided with words.

"I found out for you that she hates foolish filial people the most. Especially those who put their family and mother first, who only care about family affection and no love. They call themselves filial to their elders, but in fact they are hypocritical and deceitful, and they are just for show."

Xu Shuobo responded indifferently.

"Emperor Dijin once defined this as a mama's boy."

"I have met many women who hate mama's boys."

Xu Yingyuan smiled triumphantly.

"Yes, it's a mama's boy."

"You can show that you put her first in everything, care about her more, deliberately distance yourself from your mother, and stand out among the filial men in the world. You will definitely win her heart."

"I'm going to go back home first and give you some time alone."

Xu Shuobo was surprised.

"Being alone is good. Being alone is good. You are very considerate, eldest sister."

"You should leave quickly."
