Chapter 236: Nothing to do with it
Hearing this, Gao Daonian couldn't help but hesitate to glance at Xie Ning, but seeing her firm, he didn't know what to say for a while, his eyes flashed slightly, and he sighed in his heart.
How stubborn Shainin is, he has long seen it in his eyes. Now that she had decided, he was afraid that it would be useless to say anything more.
And in Shainin's eyes, this is indeed the case.
What's the point of leaving.
She was not originally the cousin of the Jingyang Hou Mansion, and she did not have any real kinship with the Liu family and Gao Daonian. Since Liu felt that her existence would affect the safety of the Buddha, then she just left.
It's just that she didn't do anything wrong, and neither did her father.
Shain's conviction is firm.
But now, instead of explaining to Liu whether her father is innocent or sentimental about the other party's indifferent attitude, she might as well hurry up and do her best to find out the reason for this so-called defection to the enemy.
Xie Ning made up his mind, bowed slightly to the two people in the room, and without saying anything, he turned around and left.
"Wait," Liu suddenly spoke, calling Xie Ning from behind.
Shainin turned his head without any superfluous expression on his face.
The complicated feelings on Liu's face flashed for a moment, but seeing that her feet did not move, he said to Xie Ning from a distance like this: "Your father is in the battle to join the enemy, and you are now the daughter of a criminal minister." The old body cares about the friendship of the past, and will not be embarrassed by you, I hope you will cherish yourself in the future, don't be involved with our Jingyang Marquis Mansion again, and don't call yourself Miss Biao anymore. β
Rao had already expected Liu's attitude, but when he heard what the other party said, Xie Ning still couldn't help but feel a little cold.
She didn't expect that after such a turmoil, this elder, whom she really regarded as her relatives, instead of comforting her, was in a hurry to get rid of her involvement.
Mo said that her father's conviction is not yet known, even if he was really framed by a traitor, even if this matter really implicated himself, Liu should not be so ruthless.
During her months in Beijing, she did not socialize with others. But it's not ignorance.
The Marquis of Jingyang's Mansion is by no means a small family in Beijing, in addition to the hereditary title, there are also noble concubines who are favored by the emperor in the palace.
With this dependence, the Liu family does not have to tremble at all. Nor should she shy away from this matter as she did at this time.
The scene where the other party persuaded her to move back to the mansion was still vivid, but now she was "invited" out of the Hou Mansion by the other party.
Xie Ning didn't know why Liu suddenly changed his face, and he didn't know why Liu treated her like this.
It's ironic to think about.
There was still a sneer on the corner of his mouth that had not yet been put away, and Xie Ning responded with a faint expression: "Don't worry, old lady, Xie Ning knows what to do." β
Liu Shi looked at her deeply. A pair of slightly cloudy old eyes flashed with obscurity, "That's good." β
Xie Ning nodded slightly, didn't look at the two people in the room again, and went straight back to the small courtyard.
***
"Miss," Gu Sui happened to be standing at the gate of the small courtyard, and when he saw Xie Ning returning alone, he didn't think much about it, and went straight forward, and said with concern: "How is the situation in Shu Di now?" What did Master Hou say? β
Shainin glanced at her, but only replied, "What about Mingshuang?" You two go pack up your things, I'll go get the sketches, and we'll go back to the Yanwu Pavilion." β
"Huh?" With a mouth open enough to swallow eggs, Gu Sui looked at Xie Ning in extreme shock, and subconsciously asked, "Miss, what are we going back to Yan Wu Pavilion for?" It's not early, and it's very cloudy, so even if we want to leave, we won't be in a hurry. Let alone...... Aren't you afraid to meet His Royal Highness King An? β
In the last sentence, Gu Sui asked very carefully.
She has always been a big grin. At first, when Xie Ning decided to move back to the Hou Mansion, she didn't know why. It was only after listening to Mingshuang and Xie Ning that she realized Wang An's heart for her young lady in hindsight.
She had always thought about the problem simply, for such a situation. I didn't know how to help my own young lady, so I had to do what I could to share some of Shainin's heavy responsibilities.
She doesn't have any ideas, and she's not a clever person, so she knows to listen to Xie Ning when she encounters problems. But now that Shainin suddenly made this decision, she couldn't help but be a little dazed.
After all, she didn't have to be confused. After so many days, I can also see clearly that after learning the intentions of His Royal Highness King An, my young lady is simply avoiding the other party and is unwilling to meet the other party.
That's why she subconsciously asked.
Although Xie Ning didn't know what she was thinking, he was only stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and after a while, he said with a faint expression: "You guys go and clean up first, let's leave the house as soon as possible today." After that, I'll talk about it after I leave the Hou Mansion. β
"Oh," sensing Xie Ning's strange appearance, Gu Sui couldn't help but nodded in a panic, but his eyes flashed, and after he left, he hurriedly went to find Mingshuang, "Oh no! Miss wants us to pack up our things and leave the Hou Mansion! β
"What?" Mingshuang was shocked, subconsciously took three steps forward, grabbed Gu Sui's sleeve, and confirmed again: "Miss has returned from Songbai Courtyard?" Is that what she said to you? β
Gu Sui's little face was about to collapse, his eyebrows were twisted, and he nodded, "Yes." She also said that she wanted us to go back to the Yanwu Pavilion. β
Mingshuang's eyes flashed, and he immediately let go of the grain ear, and walked out without looking back, "I'll go and see Miss, you wait for a while." β
Gu Sui was a little stunned when he saw this, and subconsciously raised his feet to follow out, but he paused when he heard the words, and after some hesitation, he finally stayed where he was, and absentmindedly cleaned up the softness.
Searching for Xie Ning in the courtyard to no avail, Mingshuang went straight into the study. Pushing open the door, she saw Xie Ning's figure, she didn't think much about it, she had already stepped forward, "Miss." β
At this time, Xie Ning had already put the sketch he had drawn a few days ago in the painting tube, and when he heard the sound, he raised his head, and he didn't show any surprise on his face, but just instructed Mingshuang: "Have you packed up your things?" Let's wait to get out of the house, you go and pack your things first. Here I am. β
Mingshuang's heart moved, and he glanced at Xie Ning without a trace, and deliberately tried to say, "What about you, Miss?" Do you want the slave to clean up those clothes and jewelry? β
"No need," Xie Ning closed his eyes and said coldly, "I don't have to bring anything with me." β
Before entering Beijing, she had nothing else on her except a dozen taels of silver. Most of those clothes and jewelry were purchased for her by the Hou Mansion. Now that she is leaving the Hou Mansion, she should leave all these things.
She doesn't covet. I don't care anymore.
The people she once regarded as relatives, and the things she once regarded as caring, had nothing to do with her.
A tear suddenly slipped from the corner of his eye, but it was cold. Just like Shainin's state of mind at the moment.
Seeing this, Mingshuang couldn't help but feel a stagnation in her heart, although she didn't know what was happening, but seeing Shainin so low, she didn't want to stand by and watch. But only after the other party's mood calms down can he ask questions.
That's why after she narrowed her eyes slightly, she hesitated and responded: "The slave understands." But the young lady should go back to the room and clean up first, so as not to miss something. β
"Hmm."
Xie Ning slowly opened his eyes and responded expressionlessly. After Mingshuang left, he took the painting tube in his hand and went to the bedroom.
It's said to be packed, but in fact, there is nothing to pack.
What's more, she doesn't have this mood at the moment.
With just a pillar of incense, Xie Ning had already walked out of the door. In the bag she was carrying, in addition to the few clothes she often wore in Shu when she came, there were only two books sent by Qin Feng yesterday. There are several general ledgers of the property under their Xie name, as well as the tokens handed over to her by the Liu family and Gao Daonian when Wei Qingyang came to propose marriage, and nothing else.
Shainin's movements were fast, and Mingshuang and Gu Sui didn't delay too long. In just a few moments, the three of them had already packed their bags and bags and walked out of the small courtyard.
After walking through a gravel path and passing through a corridor, you will arrive at the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion. Stepping through the threshold of the Hanging Flower Gate, you will arrive at the outer courtyard.
Rao has not walked this road for many days. Shainin is also very familiar.
But that is now in the past.
Xie Ning smiled expressionlessly, raised his head again, and saw Steward Hu and Aunt Liang standing in front and back not far away.
She didn't take a detour, nor did she dodge the sight of the two. Just take the thing in his hand, hold his chest high, and walk forward, without squinting.
Until they pass by them.
"Miss Xie, be careful."
Before he could go far, Steward Hu's voice had already come from behind him, still as concerned as usual, but he had changed his name in an instant.
Miss Table. Thank you, girl.
"Huh." Xie Ning laughed unabashedly, his steps were not slow, but in a moment, he had left the two people behind.
Gu Sui and Mingshuang followed on either side, only slightly one step behind. The three masters and servants did not stop, and walked to the main gate of the Hou Mansion.
The porter did not take the initiative to step forward, let alone say hello or salute.
Xie Ning didn't care, he stepped forward with an expressionless face, and then opened the latch by himself and pushed the door out.
The heavy door was pushed open by her with a "squeak", which was not effortless, and she was not too nostalgic. Mingshuang stepped forward to help him, and Shainin walked out first.
Gu Sui and the others followed.
The door of the mansion happened to close at this time, indifferently as if it were treating an uninvited guest who strayed into the Hou Mansion.
"Miss," Gu Sui looked a little uneasy, "what's going on?" β
Xie Ning's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously bit his lip, but he didn't answer her question for a while, but said as if he hadn't heard it: "Let's find a carriage first, and go find a more affordable inn to live in." β
"Aren't you going to the Yan Wu Pavilion? Why-" Mingshuang gave him a look, and Gu Sui's questioning came to an abrupt end.
"I'm going to hail a taxi with Gu Sui," Mingshuang tugged at Gu Sui's sleeve, and after seeing Xie Ning nodding, he pulled her and walked in the direction of the opposite street.
It's a bustling place, and there is a market not far from the street, so it shouldn't be difficult to rent a horse-drawn carriage.
Xie Ning was not worried about this, turned his head and glanced at the stone lion in front of the Hou Mansion, then picked up the bag that had just been placed on the ground and walked a few steps to the side.
As the Liu family wished, now that she had left the Hou Mansion, after she stepped out of the gate of the Jingyang Hou Mansion, she had completely lost her relationship with the Hou Mansion. The people of the Hou Mansion don't have to worry anymore, lest they be implicated by her.
Leaving this place, yesterday is like yesterday's death, and today's things are like today's birth.
She has nothing to do with them anymore.
Xie Ning stood in place with his arms crossed, watching the figures of Gu Sui and Mingshuang go farther and farther.
There was a sudden sound in his ears, Xie Ning looked at it, and saw a carriage coming from the corner of the street, passing by Gu Sui and the others, and stopped.
The silk curtain by the window was lifted, and the figure of the person in the car could not be seen from the angle where Shainin was standing, but it did not prevent her from hearing the other party's voice - "Why are you two here?" Where's your young lady? β
The voice was quite arrogant, and there was something in the tone that no one was looking in. It's not Gao Yiyan, who is it.
Xie Ning's eyes flashed, although he didn't walk straight towards them, he couldn't help but move a few steps forward, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Gu Sui and Mingshuang, for fear that the two of them would suffer.
But seeing that Mingshuang was neither humble nor arrogant, he responded: "The two slaves and maids are here on the orders of the young lady. β
"Of course I know that you are on her orders," Gao Yiyan's voice was very impatient, "I'm asking you what you're doing here, what you're doing with your baggage." β
"Forgive the slave and the maid for not telling each other."
Mingshuang's voice fell, and the anger in Gao Yiyan's voice became a little heavier, "What about your young lady?" If you don't say it, I'll ask her. Who knows if you two thieves will steal the things of our Hou Mansion and sell them. β
"Yeon-a-"
"We are no longer from your Hou Mansion!"
The voices of Gao Yiyao and Gu Sui came at the same time, and Xie Ning, who was standing in the distance, did not look unusual, but the Gao sisters in the carriage couldn't help but change their faces.
"What did you say?" Even Gao Yiyao, who has always had a cold temperament, couldn't hide her surprise in her heart, and after asking, she lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
And when she was helped down, she also happened to see Xie Ning standing outside the Hou Mansion.
Gao Yiyao frowned, didn't look at Gu Sui and Mingshuang again, and walked straight towards Xie Ning, "What they said is true?" Are you really going to leave the Hou Mansion? β
"Not bad."
"Heh," Gao Yiyao glanced at Xie Ning up and down, but suddenly sneered: "My mother was robbed of the power of the family because of you, and because you were confined in the Jade Courtyard by your grandmother and father." Yes, I admit she did something wrong. But what about you, when the goal is achieved, you can walk lightly, right? Don't you feel sorry for our Hou Mansion? β
Gao Yiyao didn't know about it yet.
Xie Ning looked at her calmly, "I really don't feel sorry for your mother's business. If you do something wrong, you deserve to be punished. But if you are unhappy because of this, I will tell you something, which may make you feel betterβI have been expelled from the Hou Mansion. I have nothing to do with you anymore. β
"How come," Gao Yiyao looked at Xie Ning questioningly, but retracted under the latter's unevasive gaze.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Gao Yiyan walked from across the street and stood beside Gao Yiyao, looking at Xie Ning with a suspicious look in her eyes. (To be continued.) )
