Chapter 110: Seeking

After dinner, many maids with copper basins came out of the house, stood in front of each person, and then brought a cup of tea to rinse their mouths.

When everyone came out of the hall, the sky was like splashing ink, and only a few stars were left in the distance.

"It's getting dark, so you might as well stay and rest for the night before leaving." Jing Ning turned to face the group behind him, Zheng Anyan hurriedly smiled, "Yes, if you leave so late, it's always unsafe on the road." ā€

"No need." Just when everyone was hesitating, Xiao Rin stepped forward with his hands and said to Zheng Anyan slightly, "I still have important things to do, so I'll leave first." ā€

Zheng Anyan nodded, and it was not good to stay long.

"Then Lan Yao, Yan and my brother have to stay! You don't have anything to do! Jing Ning crossed his arms and smiled.

Lan Yao and Zheng Yanhe glanced at each other, and nodded with a smile, Zheng Anyan hurriedly instructed his subordinates to clean up the two good side rooms for the two of them to move in.

After everything was settled, watching Zheng Yanhe and Lan Yao enter the room, Jing Ning also took Wen Xing back to his room.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound in the sky, rolling thunder and lightning fell on the top of the mountain in the distance, and a gust of wind blew, forcing open the window behind Jing Ning.

"Miss!" Wen Xing was startled and hurriedly ran over, but Jing Ning was faster than her, turned around and closed the window and plugged in.

"It's raining so urgently." Jing Ning listened to the sound of the rain outside the house falling on Ye Xiao's roof, and brought himself a cup of tea.

"Suffered!" Wen Xing stood up suddenly, "I just hung the freshly washed clothes in the backyard!" It's raining all of a sudden, and I'm going to have to take it down! As he spoke, he turned around and walked quickly towards the door, Jing Ning hurriedly stopped, "It's raining so hard outside, can't you get sick!" ā€

Wen Xing took out an oil-paper umbrella from the cabinet and smiled at Jing Ning, "It's okay!" Less drying, soon back. As he spoke, he picked up the barrel and held up the umbrella, and stepped into the pouring rain.

Zheng Yanhe on the other side hid under the eaves, full of self-blame.

If he hadn't been greedy for the moonlight, hadn't gone out, and stayed in the house for a long time, he wouldn't have been half-drenched by the sudden heavy rain, and he wouldn't have been able to return to the room.

"Hiko and brother!" Zheng Yanhe was worried about how to go back, and suddenly heard a small female voice behind him.

"Xiuning!" Zheng Yanhe was overjoyed, he saw her at the dinner table just now, and he wanted to talk to her, but she was waved away by Zheng Anyan, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Hiko, brother, why are you here?" Zheng Xiuning popped out half of his head through the crack in the door and looked at him.

"I just saw that the moonlight was just right, and I wanted to admire the moon, but I didn't expect it to rain suddenly." Although Zheng Yanhe's body was wet and cold, he still smiled in the face of Zheng Xiuning.

"Come in and hide from the rain?" Zheng Xiuning smiled sweetly, Zheng Yanhe was overjoyed, Zheng Xiuning quietly opened the door, and while no one was paying attention, Zheng Yanhe secretly stayed in.

Zheng Xiuning hurriedly stepped forward, and his fingertips unintentionally touched Zheng Yanhe's body, "It's all soaked!" She withdrew her hand.

"Out of the way." Zheng Yanhe smiled, "It's really comfortable in the house, but it's cold and damp outside." He flicked his sleeves, and water dripped onto the floor.

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Zheng Xiuning's eyes, but he was quickly buried by a smile.

"Here, take a sip of hot tea." She brought a cup of tea for Zheng Yanhe, Zheng Yanhe took it and drank it all.

"Nothing to do, Xiuning?" Zheng Yanhe raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Xiuning with a smile.

Zheng Xiuning didn't dodge, but took out something from the small box behind him that he was holding with a handkerchief.

"This is a sachet I made for Sister Jingning!" Zheng Xiuning handed the sachet wrapped in a handkerchief to Zheng Yanhe.

"This ...... Since the sachet is for Jing Ning, what do you do for me? Zheng Yanhe was puzzled, "You also saw at the dinner table today, Sister Jingning doesn't like me, but I, I still want to try to get along with her, after all, everyone is sisters......" Zheng Xiuning said, threatening to cry, Zheng Yanhe was busy comforting.

"It's okay, I'll send it for you." Saying that, he took the sachet and was about to take off the handkerchief outside, but was stopped by Zheng Xiuning, "This handkerchief can't be taken off!" ā€

"Why?" Zheng Yanhe was a little surprised.

"Because...... Because when you take it down, the aroma will disperse! If I scatter and give it to Sister Jing Ning, she will definitely think that I am playing tricks on her again! Zheng Xiuning hurriedly said, "But don't tell Sister Jingning, I sent it." ā€

Zheng Yanhe blinked suspiciously, although he felt that something seemed wrong, he still wrapped the sachet in a handkerchief and put it into his arms.

The sound of rain outside the house gradually became quieter, Zheng Xiuning pushed open the window, reached outside, and found that the rain had stopped, so he took out an umbrella from the cabinet and handed it to Zheng Yanhe.

"This sachet must be handed over to Sister Jing Ning tonight!" She whispered, Zheng Yanhe turned around and smiled, and turned to leave.

"Wen Xing?" Jing Ning was waiting for Wen Xing in the house, but found that Wen Xing had been out for a long time and had not come back, so he held up another umbrella and prepared to go out to find her.

"Wen Xing." In a corner of the backyard, Jing Ning saw Wen Xing holding an umbrella and holding a wooden basin full of clothes, standing dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?" Jing Ning stepped forward a few steps, wanting to take the wooden basin in her hand, but Wen Xing suddenly turned his head, "I...... I just saw Zheng and Zheng Gongzi from the second lady's room...... Come out ......"

Jing Ning was shocked, hurriedly grabbed her hand, and walked quickly towards his house.

"Why is Zheng Yanhe in Xiuning's room?" Jing Ning was puzzled, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, and his eyes motioned for Wen Xing to open the door.

"Jing Ning!" The person who came was Zheng Yanhe.

"Hiko and brother." Jing Ning put away his doubts and put on a smile.

"I—I'm here to deliver something." Zheng Yanhe scratched his head.

"What to send?" Jing Ning pretended to be interested and asked, "It's this." Zheng Yanhe took out the sachet from his arms and carefully opened the handkerchief, "I gave it to you, I bought it at the market today, and I never had a chance to give it to you before!" ā€

"Thank you!" Saying that, Jing Ning also held up the sachet through the handkerchief.

"Then, I'll go first!" Zheng Yanhe smiled and turned to leave, Jing Ning also smiled, but as soon as he turned around, the smile was replaced by a chill.

She raised her head and said to Wen Xing, "Wen Xing, scissors." Wen Xing hurriedly handed it over when he heard this.

Jing Ning held the sachet through the handkerchief, cut it open with a pair of scissors, and then probed it in with a silver hairpin, and when he took it out again, the tip of the hairpin was already blackened.

"This, this ......" Wen Xing knelt beside Jing Ning in fright, his face full of nervousness.

"Didn't you say that Zheng Yanhe came out of Zheng Xiuning's room? This sachet may be what she asked Zheng Yanhe to pass on to me! Jing Ning slapped the scissors on the table, "I'm still wondering why I wrapped it in a handkerchief, it turns out that this sachet is a poison sac at all!" ā€

Wen Xing trembled his hands and brought a brazier.

"Miss, do you want to, do you want to burn it?" She asked in a trembling voice, placing the brazier gently on the ground.

"Nope." Jing Ning looked at the sachet and smiled thoughtfully.

"Since she wants to harm me, then I will be 'harmed' once." As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed the sachet in her hand.
