Chapter 240: The Cruel Truth
Ning Zhixuan snuggled on Shangguan Hanyue's shoulder, looked at the stars in the sky, and remembered that Ye Lanshuang had accompanied her to look at the stars like this when she was alive in the past.
The young Ning Zhixuan was trapped in a world of Yunxi Pavilion because of a strange illness, and she had never seen the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital, the only thing she could see was the stars in the sky, even if she didn't leave the house.
"When you're tired, take a nap. I'll call you when it's dawn. Shangguan Hanyue saw that Ning Zhixuan was a little tired, patted her back and said softly, "Sleep for a while, you can avenge Su Rui when you have enough energy." β
Shangguan Hanyue knew Ning Zhiwen well, and knew that she would definitely avenge Su Rui, no matter what the price was, she would not let go of the negative person who killed Su Rui.
Although Ning Zhixuan was very tired, she didn't feel sleepy at all, but now she had to force herself to close her eyes, she had to let herself be cold, she had made a big mistake because of her impulsive actions, and now she could only try her best to make up for it, and killing Li Zhong to avenge Su Rui was the top priority now.
There were no pedestrians on the street, only the voices of the watchmen occasionally sounded in their ears, and Ning Wanran in the carriage now felt that he had regained a little clarity.
Su Xin saw that Ning Wanran's eyes gradually became brighter, and only then did she dare to mention her: "Fifth Miss, although she is temporarily safe after returning to Zuo Xiang's Mansion, Fifth Miss still has to be awake all the time. β
"Do you know who wants my life?" If it is said that Fang Cai's Ning Wanran was frightened by the fall from the cliff, Ning Wanran, who is relieved now, has some courage because of the experience of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
Su Xin replied: "Presumably, Miss Fifth has already guessed who that person is?" β
She ...... Why do you insist on taking my life? Ning Wanran had probably guessed the reason, but he was afraid to admit it because the reason was too cold-blooded and ruthless.
"For the sake of the sixth son." For the sake of Ning Wanran's safety, Su Xin had already decided to tell the matter, so she said, "The fifth aunt is cowardly and obedient to the old lady, but the fifth lady is young in the end, and sometimes it is inevitable to do things recklessly." β
"That's why she wants to get rid of me?" Ning Wanran has always been the most gentle and gentle temperament, but now she doesn't even want to say "grandmother" to the old lady.
"The fifth lady should know that the sixth son is the future of the Zuo Xiangfu, and he will inherit the family business of the Xiangfu in the future." Although Su Xin was a little unbearable in her heart, she still broke through, "It's not like a few young ladies in the house, and a few young ladies will only have the difference between marrying well or not in the future." β
"If it weren't for the second sister's efforts to promote the sixth brother to go out of the house to study, I'm afraid I would have become a puppet in the hands of my grandmother in the future." Ning Wanran's words were full of hatred, but tears couldn't stop falling in his eyes, "It's okay if the sixth brother goes out, so as not to stay here and see the coldness of people's hearts." β
When he was in the Anguo Mansion during the day, Yuan Qingxuan had already proposed to Ning Fanzhi to let Ning Yucheng study in the mansion, but Ning Fanzhi's attitude was that he neither responded immediately, nor did he refuse, but just said that he wanted to go back to the house to discuss with the old lady.
Looking at Ning Wanran's tears, which were half hateful and half intentional, Su Xin actually understood her very well, and wanted to be relieved but didn't know where to speak, after all, what happened today could not be offset by one or two words of comfort.
"How sure is the second sister that Yucheng will enter the Yuan Mansion to study?" If Ning Wanran was still a little hesitant about Ning Yucheng entering the Yuan Mansion to study during the day, then now he is determined to send Ning Yucheng to the Yuan Mansion to study.
"If the fifth aunt doesn't come forward to stop it, let the old lady seize the filial piety and talk about it, and the sixth son will be able to study in the Yuan Mansion."
Ning Fanzhi's temperament Ning Zhixuan has already figured it out, and naturally knows that Ning Fanzhi values Ning Yucheng's ability to get Yun Qingxuan's support after entering the Yuan Mansion, after all, Yuan Qingxuan is the second rank in the imperial examination, and his future is unlimited.
"I'll definitely stop my aunt from doing something bad."
"Fifth Miss, Fifth Aunt only needs you to be patient and appeased, Fifth Miss should be careful to guard against the old lady's side, now the old lady's plan to send someone to get rid of the fifth lady has failed, Fifth Miss feels that with the old lady's strategy, can't you see that Miss Five, you have already guessed who is behind the scenes."
Su Xin's words were like a thunderbolt that struck Ning Wanran's heart, and it also shook her to slide off the soft seat.
"Su Xin, grandmother, won't she let me go?" Although the old lady pretends to be kind and kind on weekdays, she is not close to her grandchildren, and sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity, Ning Wanran naturally knew that the old lady was born with a cold and hard heart.
"Fifth Miss, don't panic yet." Su Xin pressed Ning Wanran's shoulders with both hands, hoping to calm her down first.
"My aunt told me a long time ago that my grandmother was a cold-hearted person, and now I have become a thorn in her side, a thorn in her flesh, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape again!" Ning Wanran experienced such a life-and-death scene as falling off a cliff in just one day, and he was already frightened in his heart, and now he was completely confused.
"Fifth Miss, if the old lady can justifiably get rid of you without any scruples, why wait until you are alone before you do it." Su Xin Weining analyzed the powerful relationship and said, "Even if you are a concubine, you are also the daughter of Xiangye, the sister of the sixth son, these are all bargaining chips that you can protect yourself." β
"Right...... Even if I am a concubine, I am my father's daughter after all, Yucheng's sister. Ning Wanran seemed to have listened to Su Xin's words, and forced herself to calm down slowly.
"Fifth Miss, if you really want to protect yourself and not involve the fifth aunt and the sixth son, when you return to the mansion, you must pretend that nothing happened, at least in front of everyone."
"Su Xin, are you sure that Grandmother won't send someone to kill me?" Because of the fear in his heart, Ning Wanran still asked with some uneasiness.
Seeing that Ning Wanran was so scared, Su Xin had to promise her: "Su Xin dares to promise Fifth Miss with her life that the old lady will never openly send someone to assassinate Fifth Miss in the mansion." β
"I know, I will never mention the fall from the cliff in front of everyone."
"Fifth Miss, you take this well, and if you have a premonition of any danger, take one quickly."
Ning Wanran took the porcelain vase and asked, "What is this?" β
Su Xin replied: "Poison Pill." It can temporarily alleviate all kinds of poisons. Su Xin then explained: "Although the old lady will not assassinate openly, the poisoning is unguardable. β
"Su Xin, thank you! Now Ning Wanran already grabbed Su Xin's hand with red eyes, "If it weren't for the second sister and Su Xin, I would be afraid that I would be in a catastrophe today." β
Su Xin could hear that Ning Wanran's words were heartfelt, and she also shook her hand and said, "Now the situation of the fifth miss and my young lady is very difficult, so naturally they have to support each other." β
"Second sister, she's going to be fine, right? Mother and eldest sister ...... "Now that Ning Wanran knows the old lady's evil intentions, she will naturally think that the Bai family and Ning Banghua are not good people, and if you start to do it, you will definitely kill the killer."
"If your second sister was so easy to deal with, she wouldn't be in the situation she is in today." In order to appease Ning Wanran, Su Xin naturally would not explain the danger of Ning Zhiyun's situation.
"Second sister is such an amazing person." Ning Wanran used to even think that Ning Zhiyun's idea was too shocking and regrettable, but now that she has suffered such a catastrophe, she knows how to endure everywhere and may not be able to steal her life.
Su Xin reminded Ning Wanran and said, "Fifth Miss, you have to pay extra attention to one person. β
Ning Wanran asked rhetorically, "Who is it?" β
Su Xin replied, "It's Miss Three." β
"Third sister." If it was Ning Wanran on weekdays, she would not believe that Ning Xinyu, who is the most kind, is also a person with evil intentions, but now that even her own grandmother can be ruthless to her, who is worthy of complete trust.
"I understand, I will be extra awake in front of the third sister."
Su Xin looked at the ignorant and naΓ―ve Ning Wanran, and saw the coldness of human nature and the sinister nature of the human heart overnight, which may be cruel to her, but it is better than Su Rui, who can only be at the mercy of fate from beginning to end.
Su Xin opened the curtain of the car, and saw that the carriage was about to drive to the gate of the Zuo Xiang's Mansion, and finally reminded Ning Wanran: "In the future, the only trustworthy person in the Zuo Xiang's Mansion is Wei Qiyi, and the fifth lady must not entrust important news to others." β
When the carriage stopped in front of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Xin was the first to get out of the carriage, and then walked quickly to the door of the mansion and knocked on the red door.
Soon, a maid came out, walked to the side of the carriage, and helped Ning Wanran off the carriage.
Seeing that the little maid in Zuo Xiang's mansion welcomed Ning Wanran into the mansion, Su Xin already expected that next, Ning Wanran would definitely face the Bai family's ill-intentioned interrogation, but fortunately, they had already unified their caliber in advance. In addition, Ning Yucheng is also fighting now, and Ning Fanzhi also remembered the benefits of the fifth aunt, as long as Ning Fanzhi did not pursue it, the Bai family would naturally not hold on to Ning Wanran's late return.
"Miss Suxin, it's getting dark at night, let's go back quickly." The coachman reminded Su Xindao, who had been looking at the direction of the left prime minister's mansion for a long time.
"The driver drove the carriage back to the elegant house in Six Feet Lane." Su Xin's voice landed on the deck of the carriage on tiptoe, and then lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Your Royal Highness......" Su Xin had just entered the carriage, and saw Shangguan Qingqiao sitting on the wooden couch, and hurriedly leaned over and saluted, "The slave has seen His Royal Highness Prince Heng." β
"Sit down." Shangguan Qingyu still had an indifferent tone, with a pair of unpredictable deep eyes.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness Prince Heng." Su Xin had already sat opposite Shangguan Qingqiao as he spoke.
