Chapter 241: Fighting the Autumn Wind
It's no wonder that after she reacted, she couldn't restrain herself for a while and screamed out in a hurry.
Xie Ning understood her mood very well at this time, so he didn't say anything after hearing the movement, just turned to the side slightly and silently motioned for Wei Qingyang to leave.
As for how the other party would react at this time, she was not worried.
Anyway, it fell, even if Wei Qingyang wanted to settle accounts with her, this jade pendant would not be able to repair it as before. According to Shainin, he might as well stop there, so that he can still leave a reputation for generosity.
But...... It's really wrong to smash someone's ancestral treasure. If Wei Qingyang insisted on asking her to compensate, she could only dare to act.
Even if this Raush Zifeng blood mandarin duck is worth a lot of money? It's a big deal, she went to all the gambling houses in the capital.
After all, she was indeed impulsive, and her actions were really a little inconsiderate, but now that she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she knew her mistake in her heart for what she had just done, but she had no regrets.
If she had been told to do it all over again, she would have done it again.
Xie Ning glanced at Wei Qingyang, and took advantage of the other party's kung fu to bend down to pick up the phoenix-blooded mandarin duck, and quietly moved his hand behind his back twice.
It wasn't until he stood up again that Shainin stopped.
Gu Sui and Mingshuang had been discovered, so they no longer deliberately hid behind the door to hide their figures, and seeing that Xie Ning didn't say anything, they became bold for a while, but in the blink of an eye, they walked in tacitly, but they stood in front of Xie Ning, with a protective posture.
Xie Ning couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart: with her skills, it was naturally more than enough to deal with Wei Qingyang, so why did she want the two of them to stand in the way.
"Sister Ning," Wei Qingyang held the brocade box in his hand, but his eyes looked past the two of them to Xie Ning, frowned and sighed: "If you have something to say, why do you bother ......?"
When Gu Sui heard this, he couldn't help glaring at him fiercely. Subconsciously choked: "My young lady has nothing to say to you!" ”
Wei Qingyang didn't look at her, his eyes still fell on Xie Ning, as if he insisted on getting a verification from Xie Ning.
Xie Ning shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and turned calmly to meet the gaze of the other side. He nodded straight and said, "She's right, there's really nothing to say between you and me." As you said before, in the future, the two of us will return to the bridge and return to the road, and we will not disturb each other, how about it? ”
It's not that she's decisive. It's just that in the current situation, Xie Ning really can't tolerate making friends with Wei Qingyang anymore.
After all, she didn't want to hate each other because of her acquaintance. One separate and two wide, it can be said that it is the best choice for the two.
Wei Qingyang's hand holding the brocade box tightened, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes for a while, but he ignored the grain ears and Mingshuang in front of him, and went straight forward three steps and said: "Sister Ning, although it is the order of the elders in the family to cancel the marriage contract, I can't stand you in this matter after all." Don't worry, if you encounter any difficulties in the future. Come and find me. ”
Who wouldn't say nice words, but now that her father has not been condemned, the Duke of Wei is in a hurry to come to her door to withdraw from her relatives. It is common sense for people in the world to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but Wei Qingyang's attitude is inevitably too cold. After the token arrived, he was righteously coming to help her. This is ridiculous.
Having completely seen the other party's personality, Xie Ning didn't feel cold at the moment, but glanced at Wei Qingyang with a faint expression, and didn't say anything.
"In that case, I'll go first."
When Wei Qingyang saw this, he only thought that Xie Ning had already seen it. couldn't help but look relieved, holding the brocade box that he wanted back from Xie Ning's hand with one arm, and went straight out of the door.
He had just stepped out of the door with his front foot, and he had not yet gone far. Gu Sui jumped up suddenly, lowered his head, and spat heavily outside, "Phew! ”
Seeing this, Xie Ning couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, "Okay...... I scolded him just now. Still not angry? ”
"Of course I'm not angry," Gu Sui's eyes widened excitedly, "Miss, you're too light." According to me, we should smash his precious jade pendant to pieces. Retire! Tell him to quit! ”
She said happily, but Mingshuang couldn't help but stagnate in her heart when she heard the words, and immediately pulled the corners of the clothes of the people around her, secretly glanced at her, and whispered: "Gu Sui!" ”
"Uh......"
Gu Sui happened to talk about Xingtou at this time, and when he heard it at first glance, he was a little confused.
But although she has always been open-mouthed, she is not indifferent to people's eyes, and after a little thought, she came back to her senses and covered her mouth in a curt.
Xie Ning saw the annoyance on her face, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she couldn't help but smile and comfort: "It's okay, it's just a retreat, I don't care." ”
"Really?" Gu Sui was a little less apprehensive on his face, but he couldn't help but ask.
Xie Ning was about to answer, but raised his eyes to meet Mingshuang's gaze.
But seeing that her eyes flashed slightly, she didn't hesitate at all, so she said directly: "Dare to ask why Miss is so indifferent?" ”
When she said this, she stopped Shainin. Xie Ning was stunned for a moment, then began to think about it, and only after a moment did he say slowly: "Maybe it's because I didn't have any expectations for this family business." There is no hope, so why disappointment? ”
Mingshuang's eyes flashed, and she asked again: "What does Miss mean, in your eyes, this family business is dispensable?" ”
“……”
was so straightforward, Shainin couldn't help but be a little speechless. In fact, when Fang Cai was answering Mingshuang's question, there was actually some hesitation in her voice that even she didn't notice.
In fact, from beginning to end, the family business of the Wei State Mansion came too quickly and too easily, just like a piece of pie, suddenly one day it fell from the sky and happened to hit her head.
It was a rare good thing, and she had never expected it.
Before she knew it, the elders of the two sides had already exchanged Geng posts. Before she came back to her senses, Wei Qingyang had already come to the door to propose.
This family affair came so suddenly, so fast that Xie Ning didn't even prepare for it.
At the beginning, Wei Qingyang indulged her in every way, and she felt so good. But now that the other party wants to break off the marriage contract with her, she doesn't feel so sad.
Although it is still a little sad.
Xie Ning lowered his eyes to hide the complicated look in his eyes, and responded in a low voice: "Probably." ”
"Little ...... Miss," Gu Sui couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw this, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay," Xie Ning didn't want to talk about it anymore, and after subconsciously pulling the corners of his mouth, he quickly changed the topic. "Actually, he came today, and it's okay to say that the marriage contract was dissolved, I'm afraid that their Wei Mansion got some news from the court in advance, so I can't wait."
It's not a big deal to get married or something. In addition to her father's safety, the only thing Xie Ning is worried about at the moment is her father's innocence.
Now Wei Qingyang came straight to the door and asked her to return the Ding's belongings, such a move really made Xie Ning unable to think about it - the Jingyang Hou Mansion had already dissociated itself from her. Now even the Duke of Wei doesn't want to be involved with her anymore......
Could it be that her father really angered Long Yan because he was framed this time?
Thinking of this, Xie Ning's face became more and more solemn.
Seeing this, Mingshuang couldn't help but think: "If Miss is worried about this, why don't you let the slave go to Xiao Gongzi to ask first, how about it?" ”
Although she only clicked to the point, with Mingshuang's intelligence, how could she not guess her thoughts?
Xie Ning was about to speak out in agreement at the moment, but suddenly his heart moved again, and he hurriedly said, "Let's go together." ”
"It's fine." Mingshuang nodded, "Miss has also been tired for a day, and Shangshu Mansion is in the east of the city, so the slave maid should go out and hire a small sedan chair first." ”
I almost forgot that they were in an inn on the west side of the city. Xie Ning frowned, and subconsciously frowned.
They have limited money and can't afford lavish expenses, and they can only travel in a small sedan chair that can only accommodate one person. And this trip to Shangshu Mansion, to say the least, will cost a dime of silver.
Xie Ning understood what Mingshuang meant, and she would be uneasy in her heart if she didn't ask about this matter. But she wanted to watch Mingshuang accompany her to half the city......
She couldn't accept it.
Alas, it's really a penny that is hard to beat a hero.
Xie Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Supposedly, she had just won a lot of silver from the gambling house, and she should not have been so frugal and stingy, but the silver was of other use to her. I can't take it out for a while.
Her expression changed several times, Mingshuang could see it clearly, and naturally it was not difficult to guess what Xie Ning was worried about, and after thinking about it for a while, she said with a smile: "Miss, don't think too much, the slave's legs and feet are very good." If it's not early today. Our master and servant are together, so that we can take care of it. ”
"That's not necessary," Xie Ning subconsciously shook his head, and said resolutely: "I'd better go by myself." Anyway, I also have kung fu in my body, so I can't help it. ”
Mingshuang couldn't help but hesitate, "This ......"
"Oops," Gu Sui saw this, so he couldn't help but pull Mingshuang, winked and persuaded: "Mingshuang, are you still worried about our young lady's skills?" I see that it doesn't hurt for the young lady to ride in a sedan chair alone, the two of us stay in the inn, and you also take the opportunity to teach me the female red. ”
Now that the three masters and servants have left the Hou Mansion, in order to make a living, they naturally have to plan carefully. Xie Ning went to the gambling house today, she and Mingshuang were not idle, as soon as you said a word to me, I thought of a good idea to make some female red subsidies to supplement the family.
Now that there is a method, Gu Sui is naturally in a hurry to implement it.
It doesn't hurt to get late, and the lamp oil in the inn doesn't cost money anyway.
Where did Xie Ning know Gu Sui's ghost idea, and when he saw her speak out, he also took the opportunity to say: "That's it." I don't like female red, Mingshuang, you just stay with Gu Sui as a companion, and I'll go back. ”
Since the day Qin Feng went to Yandi, they have always been protected by the secret guards of King An's Mansion, which Xie Ning didn't know, but Mingshuang knew it.
Therefore, she was not very worried about Shainin's trip, and after a little hesitation, she also agreed, "Okay then." ”
***
When we arrived at Shangshufu, twilight was already shrouded, the sky was dark, and there was no starlight to be seen.
Xie Ning only glanced up when he got off the sedan chair, and then his gaze fell on the gate of Shangshu Mansion.
After instructing the coachman to wait here, Xie Ning stepped forward and knocked the knocker, but there was some apprehension in his heart.
After all, Xiao Yan's temperament also knows that she doesn't like to go back to Shangshu Mansion on weekdays. She took the liberty to ask each other this time, but she didn't know if she could see each other.
is also a person who knows the news, but she can't ask Qin Feng, not because she still has a grudge against the previous "past" between the two, but because Qin Feng's identity is sensitive, even if he didn't tell Xie Ning that the two should keep in touch temporarily, Xie Ning didn't want to cause trouble to the other party because of this.
After all, even the Marquis of Jingyang Mansion and the Duke of Wei Mansion avoided this matter, and Xie Ning really didn't want to make Qin Feng innocently affected.
The door of the mansion opened, Xie Ning settled down, and then looked at the person who came up, deliberately lowered his voice, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The little surname is Ning, on the order of my master, I ask to see the eldest prince of the house." I don't know if the eldest prince can be in the house? ”
Xie Ning had already thought about it along the way, so he deliberately kept an eye on it here. It's not that she doesn't want to show her real name, it's just that the situation is special now, and it is inevitable that Shangshu Mansion will not let her in, so she might as well be a nonsense identity.
It's not that she can't believe Xiao Yan, it's just that Xiao Yan won't mind some things, but Xiao Shangshu and Mrs. Xiao may not be like this.
What's more, she was already wearing a gray robe today, and she looked like a little girl.
The person who came couldn't help but glance at Xie Ning, and asked without a trace: "Dare to ask your master's surname, how should you report it?" ”
"My master's surname is Ning," Xie Ning said nonsense without blinking, "It is the one who had an appointment with the prince of the mansion three days ago." Please also ask this eldest brother to mention it to Xiao Gongzi, he will know. ”
"Okay then," Maybe Xiao Yan did too much out of tune, and the person who came didn't suspect it, after a little nodding, he nodded at Xie Ning and said, "Little brother, wait here for a while, I'll go and go back." ”
"Okay."
Seeing the other party's figure disappear at the door, a real smile appeared on Xie Ning's face. She didn't wait stupidly there, but turned around and paid the car with the coachman, and informed the other party that she could leave.
Ask her how to get back?
Just kidding, she is in a tight situation right now, so she can naturally save a little bit, and she is finally going to see Xiao Yan, she came to Shangshu Mansion from half a city away, and she must take a little autumn breeze here in Xiao Yan before leaving.
Not to mention Xie Ning's calculations, after half a pillar of incense, the door of Shangshu Mansion opened again.
"This little brother, please."
It seems that it was Xiao Yan's entourage who came to greet him, and he didn't say much, but he looked very clever.
Inevitably embarrassed on the road, Xie Ning wanted to talk to him, but when he thought of Xiao Yan's temperament of never bringing a follower when he went out, he couldn't help but feel distracted and dispelled his thoughts.
Qin Feng once vaguely mentioned to her that Xiao Yan's situation in Shangshu Mansion was not good. Mrs. Xiao is not his mother, and it is not impossible to place some of his own people around him.
But for her, instead of worrying about these things for now, she should think more about her own situation and her father's situation. (To be continued.) )
