Chapter 21~22 Old Fox, Little Fox | whisper
"What an old fox." Ning Xiang's cheeks bulged, and she stood up and circled around the table irritably.
Ouyang Shaoqian also sat there dullly, tapping his fingers on the table one by one.
Su Jingchen saw the upset appearance of the two, but he still didn't understand what was going on.
"What do you mean by saying that the Tunnel has become a place? I didn't even understand it. ”
"The silver treasury behind the account office of the Zhizhou Mansion was stolen, and the boxes of cash silver were gone in an instant." Ning Xiang muttered, "Someone also said that someone carried the silver out of the house, but I didn't expect it to be transported out along the tunnel long ago." ”
"What then?" Su Jingchen came to his senses and got up suddenly, "Recently, King Xiao's army training has been tight, and I see that the tunnel has been completed, and the silver taels are also sufficient, and I will send troops in the near future, how can I get this?" ”
"We know without you saying it." Ning Xiang glared at Su Jingchen, "Instead of staring here, it's better to think of ideas." ”
"What can be done?" Su Jingchen inexplicably started a fire, "This old fox has turned us around, I should be able to relax for a while." ”
"Why are you alone?" Ouyang Shaoqian smiled bitterly, "Are you better off with me?" ”
"You? You have your own father to protect ......"
As soon as Su Jingchen said half of his words, he was frightened back by the chill around Ouyang Shaoqian.
"What are you glaring at me for?"
Ouyang Shaoqian turned his gaze away and stopped looking at him.
Ning Xiang saw that the two of them were making trouble again, and couldn't help but have a headache: "Can't you discuss it well?" Now that we all know, it's not too late, let alone me. ”
"I'm very reluctant to get you involved." Ouyang Shaoqian said apologetically, "I was in a hurry to decide on the marriage before, and there was also because King Xiao was about to go to war, but now that I think about it, it is better to wait for the matter to end and take you away and fly away." ”
"What is flying away?!" Su Jingchen glared and said, "Xiang'er is the one who wants to be the helper." ”
"Yes, yes, not to mention that I can't fly, my Senior Brother Su." What Ning Xiang didn't dare to say was that Su Jingchen was glaring now, like a frog that couldn't eat insects.
Ouyang Shaoqian had never seen Su Jingchen like this, but he couldn't help it, and let out a snort, which made Su Jingchen even more angry.
"Still laughing, how is this good now?"
"Block the tunnel." Ning Xiang understated.
"How? Do you know where the exit is? ”
"I don't know." Ning Xiang smiled, "I didn't think about this before, of course I don't know, when I go back, Jiang Yueyue will help me." ”
The little girl smiled slyly, like a fox hiding a bad belly, and laughed hehehehe.
Ouyang Shaoqian and Su Jingchen glanced at each other, and there was no other way in their hearts, but Ning Xiang could only be happy.
"It's getting late, I'm going back, and if it's too late, the porter will only be suspicious." Ning Xiang was about to say goodbye as she spoke.
"But you didn't buy anything." Su Jingchen was a little worried, "This can't be justified." ”
Ouyang Shaoqian also nodded: "What's the matter, I want to buy something, it's still too late, I'll accompany you to the street." ”
"It's okay, no." Ning Xiang rushed to Su Jingchen with an arrow step, reached into his arms with a familiar handle, and brought out a bag of tea, "As soon as I entered the door, I smelled it, and it was really good tea." ”
"You!" Su Jingchen saw that the tea that was going to be secretly sent home was snatched by the little girl again, so he angrily pointed at her head with his hand, unable to speak, and was about to clean her up.
Ning Xiang made a grimace, ran to the inner room, and sent the paper bag containing tea to Li Yingzhong like a treasure.
"Hey, good granddaughter, I know that you love grandpa the most." Li Yingzhong has also been thinking about this bag of tea for a long time, but he is embarrassed to speak, since Ning Xiang has started, he doesn't have to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf.
Su Jingchen chased him to the inner room and found that Li Yingzhong had already taken the tea bag for himself, and he wanted to die.
"That's for my dad!"
"A teacher for one day, a father for life." Li Yingzhong cocked his white beard and said proudly, "What's more, your old man sent you to me, and he didn't give him a tie." ”
Su Jingchen angrily wanted to rush over to theorize, but Ouyang Shaoqian grabbed his two arms, cut them behind his back, and his mouth was blocked by him, so he could only make a "woo" sound.
When Ning Xiang went out happily, Ouyang Shaoqian let go of him, and disappeared like another gust of wind.
"The upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked."
Su Jingchen moved his arm sadly, but was kicked by the house doctor again.
"What do you say?!"
Ouyang Shaoqian chased out and followed Ning Xiang, but found that after not seeing her for a few days, her light skills had improved again, and she had some difficulty following her footsteps.
He looked at Ning Xiang's posture of flying on the wall from behind, and the more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became, he really had never seen anyone who would be so elegant and moving when he used light exercises, as if flying in the air.
Ning Xiang noticed that someone was catching up behind her, and when she turned around, she found that it was Ouyang Shaoqian, so she hurriedly slowed down.
"Why didn't you stop me?"
"How do you want me to shout? Let everyone here know that you're running on the roof at night? ”
Ouyang Shaoqian breathed a sigh of relief and followed beside Ning Xiang without hurrying.
Ning Xiang stuck out her tongue: "That's what I said." You're not in good health, you don't have to send me, I'll go back by myself. ”
"I'm not at ease." Ouyang Shaoqian showed a worried expression, even if he knew that Ning Xiang's martial arts could be ranked in the rivers and lakes, he still didn't worry that she would return alone in the middle of the night.
Ning Xiang's heart trembled, and she felt a trace of warmth slowly pass by, she pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly shyly, and the crimson on her face smeared straight behind her ears.
"Don't you really buy something under the guise of it?" Ouyang Shaoqian didn't notice Ning Xiang's expression, and looked intently at the road ahead.
Ning Xiang replied, "It's just marrying a butcher, what is there to buy?" ”
"Then I'll put on your makeup when the time comes." Ouyang Shaoqian's face was serious.
Ning Xiang was not lightly angry: "Makeup is a gift from a friend, let me use it as a dowry, you are my husband, what do you want to add makeup to me?" ”
"Who do you say I'm yours?" Ouyang Shaoqian grasped the point of Ning Xiang's words, and wanted to ask again.
Bi Ningxiang suddenly cooled down: "I'm here, you can go back." ”
After that, she suddenly increased her speed, and arrived at the corner gate of the Zhizhou Mansion in a few steps, and after knocking on the small door, someone poked her head out.
Ouyang Shaoqian hurriedly hid his figure, but he was still immersed in the words that Ning Xiang had just blurted out subconsciously.
Ning Xiang entered the house, and went back to the room to rest directly, after all, no matter how depressed and restrained Jiang Yueyue's voice in the house was, she could hear it.
The movement over there continued until the second half of the night, and Jiang Yueyue's crying could be faintly heard, and Ning Xiang knew that the two of them were probably unhappy today.
In the early morning of the next day, Ning Xiang counted the time when Jiang Yueyue was sleeping, and specially went to ask her to get up later.
Who knew that when the door was knocked, Jiang Yueyue immediately answered, sounding very sober.
As soon as she entered the door, Ning Xiang found that Jiang Yueyue's eyes were bruised, obviously because she didn't sleep well last night, and her face was so haggard today.
"Why did Miss wake up so early, why didn't she sleep a little longer?"
"Smack!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueyue suddenly bit her lip and raised her palm to hit it.
Ning Xiang could have avoided it, but she was afraid that Jiang Yueyue would not be angry and would have other actions to annoy people, so she took the slap on the spot.
Because the angle of avoidance just took advantage of the situation to weaken Jiang Yueyue's strength, although it sounded loud this time, it didn't hurt much.
"!" Jiang Yue was ruthless, screaming and scolding, her delicate face seemed to be about to crack, and she gritted her teeth and glared at Ning Xiang.
Ning Xiang immediately knelt down, supported the ground with her hands, and put her head on the back of her hand: "I don't know where Ning Xiang made Miss unhappy, please dissipate Miss!" ”
Jiang Yueyue's mind was already in turmoil, when she was in a relationship with Xiao Qian last night, she actually heard Xiao Qian muttering softly "Xiang'er" in a daze, she pushed Xiao Qian angrily, but accidentally folded the person to the ground.
Xiao Qian was immersed in the fragrance of Jiang Yueyue's delicate skin, and was slightly stunned, Xu met Ning Xiang when he came, and suddenly remembered her delicate neck as clean as porcelain, and couldn't help but call out her name.
Suddenly pushed to the ground, Xiao Qian was in pain, and then he realized what he had done, and then when he looked up and saw Jiang Yueyue's cold appearance, the guilt was swept away for some reason, and it was replaced by anger.
He stood up, took a step forward, pulled up his clothes directly, and quickly put them on.
Jiang Yueyue originally wanted to stop him and reach out to hug his arm, but he was forcefully broken free. She was thrown hard by Xiao Gan, lost her balance, fell off the bed with her upper body, and subconsciously supported her feet with her arms.
When Jiang Yueyue got up again, Xiao Qian had already walked out. By the time she reacted, everything on the bed had been thrown down by her, and her eyes were swollen like peaches from crying.
Ning Xiang thought that Jiang Yueyue had quarreled with Xiao Gan, but she never expected that it was actually for herself, and thought that Jiang Yueyue had done something to make Xiao Qian unhappy, so she beat her.
Jiang Yueyue thought about what happened last night, and the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help crying, causing everyone outside to gather around, wondering what was going on inside.
It didn't take long for someone to inform Mrs. Jiang, after all, the door of this room was closed tightly, and no one could see what was happening inside.
"Go, open the door."
Madame Jiang ordered coldly, and then someone went to push the door. Mama Pei scolded the people around the door and dispersed, after all, it was extremely unseemly for Jiang Yueyue to cry like this, and it was not good to be looked at by the girls.
The door creaked open, Ning Xiang curled up beside the tea table with her abdomen covered, and Jiang Yueyue was holding the vase that she had placed on the windowsill yesterday, threatening to smash it down.
"Go!"
Mrs. Jiang hurriedly pointed with her hand, and Mama Pei reacted instantly, rushed up and snatched the "murder weapon" in Jiang Yueyue's hand.
"Mother, don't stop me! Let me beat this to death! Jiang Yueyue seemed to be a little crazy, and she had to understand Ning Xiang with her own hands.
Mrs. Jiang's eyebrows and eyes instantly became a little fierce, and she said angrily: "How can there be a lady like you in Manzhuozhou?!" ”
"What a lady! I can't even keep my husband's heart! Jiang Yueyue covered her face with her hands aggrievedly, sat on the ground and cried regardless of her image.
Madame Jiang was furious, and stepped forward and bent down and grabbed Jiang Yueyue's arm, almost stretching her whole body.
"Are you married?! Husband-kun who opens his mouth and closes his mouth! Where's your face?! ”
"Mother!" Jiang Yueyue thought that Mrs. Jiang was looking at Ning Xiang, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, "Why do you always look at outsiders!" ”
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she was immediately furious, and she actually forced out a mouthful of blood.
Jiang Yueyue saw that her mother was angry like this, so she felt scared, and hurriedly helped the person up, and said, "Mother, what's wrong?" But what's uncomfortable? ”
"You're afraid you wish I was dead!"
The estrangement between mother and daughter is already very deep, no matter how worried Jiang Yueyue is about Mrs. Jiang, she must not be able to make up for her disappointment.
Since she was a child, she always gave Jiang Yueyue the best, invited the master when she taught, and the silver flowed out, and she didn't see a trace of distress, how did she raise a girl well, and she became such a crazy woman now, where is she so scheming in the past?
Jiang Yueyue really knew that she was scared, and she was at a loss for what to do with Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang was cold and didn't want to say a word more.
Ning Xiang looked at it very seriously from the side, knowing their respective thoughts, but she didn't have time to pay attention to the entanglement between the mother and daughter, so she just fainted and fell aside.
Mama Pei was really distressed by Jiang Yueyue, and stepped forward and said to Mrs. Jiang: "Miss may have any troubles?" Madame, why don't you listen to the young lady? ”
How does this mean? Xiao Qian came to spend the night yesterday, how can he tell Mrs. Jiang?
Jiang Yueyue was speechless for a while, and she didn't know how to explain, which made Mrs. Jiang even more puzzled.
"It's just a girl who wants to get married, why are you angry with her? Have you remembered your physique, your manners, all in the belly of a dog? ”
Mrs. Jiang only thought that the master and servant had a conflict, but they didn't know that there was still a Xiao Qian entangled here.
Jiang Yueyue didn't dare to say it explicitly, so she could only pull Mrs. Jiang's arm and say, "Mother, let her marry quickly, Xiao Lang will never forget her, and he will leave me behind." ”
"He dares!" Mrs. Jiang slapped the table suddenly, "All these years of my thoughts have been spent on your marriage, if he is unkind and unjust, he wants him to look good!" ”
At this time, Mrs. Jiang still didn't understand that Xiao Qian's temperament was following his father, and he was beautiful in front of women, but he was all bad behind his back.
And King Xiao found out about Qi Ying's death, although he was angry, he still did not cut off contact with him, Madame Jiang selfishly thought that she was extremely important to King Xiao, and naturally she would not doubt Xiao Qian's willingness to marry her own daughter.
Jiang Yueyue saw that Mrs. Jiang was so determined, but the uneasiness in her heart did not dissipate, she could only beg sadly: "Mother, I really can't bear it, why don't I pick a random day, quickly let her marry someone, cancel the slave status, Xiao Lang is not good for her reputation in the mouths of the people." ”
"Where is it that simple?" Mrs. Jiang remembered what King Xiao said to herself, and she was also melancholy, and the other party also asked Ning Xiang to follow Jiang Yueyue into King Xiao's mansion, but she didn't say the reason, but this matter is not so simple.
