The rain outside the house has stopped.

Inside the house, Yang put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the maid standing in front of him, hanging her head, with a fierce gaze: "Did you hear clearly, did the eldest lady really say that?" Did you say anything else? ”

The maid hung her head and looked respectful: "Yes, the slave can hear it clearly, the eldest lady really only said this." ”

"I see, let's go down."

A trace of doubt crossed Yang's eyes, then he waved his hand to let the other party go down, turned back to the room and asked, "Mama, what do you think of today's events?" ”

A man walked out of the room.

The man was extremely young, with skin as white as snow, but he was such a young girl, and his voice was extremely hoarse and rude, like the sound of the wind blowing through the Gobi.

"It's just that the girl was lucky enough to escape."

"But I always felt that something was wrong."

Yang frowned, looking at people's eyes over the years, she has developed an extremely keen eye and perception, if she was still convinced of Jing Ning's stupidity before, many things that have happened in the past few days are enough to make her suspicious of Jing Ning.

However, it was also because of the fact that Jing Ning had been played with in the palm of her hand in the past four years, and this idea was only vaguely fleeting.

"That's it, maybe I'm thinking too much, she's just a poor worm who lives on the favor of the master."

Thinking of this, she shook her head.

She didn't want to admit that Jing Ning had such intelligence.

Jing Ning closed the door.

She lay down on the bed as usual, pretending to be very tired, but when she turned sideways, she had already opened the note in her hand quickly.

It was densely packed inside, and it was all written down by Fang Cai Bihua.

She glanced at it cursoryly.

What happened later was similar to what she guessed, it was nothing more than that after Bihua and the old lady left, the other party suddenly shot at her, but fortunately she was stopped by Luohua who rushed over, and the knife did not hurt the vital point.

After reading it, she pinched the note in her hand and lay quietly.

Until someone came to tell her that the second lady of the Xiao family invited her to the mansion as a guest, she hid the note in her sleeve and took it to the Xiao mansion together.

Shaw House.

The Xiao family is the home of military generals, and the mansion built is naturally not like the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is full of elegance and beauty like the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is atmospheric, vaguely revealing the cold wind of military generals.

At this time, Xiao Er's Miss Xiao Kite was catching insects in her back garden.

Knowing that Jing Ning was coming, she immediately threw away the willow branch that teased the ants in her hand and ran out in a hurry.

Yes, Jing Ning had just stepped into the Xiao Mansion, and his hand was already pulled by Xiao Kite.

"Jing Ning, why did you come so slowly, slowly."

As she spoke, she pulled Jing Ning towards her yard.

She's been bored for a long time.

The father is fighting abroad, the mother is a broken mouth, the brother who has always been close went to the southwest battlefield, and the rest of the other brothers and sisters are either martial arts idiots who love martial arts like life, or love rouge gouache, and there is little common language, so it is even more difficult to play in one place.

However, a few days ago, when she wrote a letter to her brother, she specifically mentioned that the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was assassinated by a hired assassin, and she quickly got a reply.

The letter was written only a few short words-

Protect her!

Sure enough, if you have a fiancée, you don't want a sister, and I haven't seen him mention himself!

Jing Ning did not let the maids follow into the courtyard, but let them stay outside, and when she walked into Xiao Kite's room, the first thing she did was not to sit down, but to walk to the lamp and burn her note.

She took this note with her so that she could find a suitable place to destroy it.

Xiao Yuan looked at her actions and slowly raised her eyebrows: "It seems that you are not here to say something considerate." ”

Jing Ning sent his hand away, and the note fell instantly, and it was engulfed by the dazzling firelight in an instant, and the firelight gradually dimmed, and the things inside turned into a pile of black ash.

"Of course, I'm here to listen to you talk about yourself, but I'm just dealing with some things by the way."

She chuckled.

I have to say that Xiao Yuan's invitation to herself was at the right time, she was worried about how to deal with this thing, after all, her every move was monitored by the Yang family, even if she could escape the surveillance, it was difficult to guarantee that no trace would be found.

In this way, it can be said that there are no worries at all.

Xiao Yuan didn't care.

After all, this is Jing Ning's own business.

She poured a cup of tea for Jing Ning and herself, held the tea, and said, "These days, your sister is famous, and the whole capital is discussing the matter between her and the county lord of Danyang." ”

Jing Ning took a sip of tea, and a fragrance filled the tip of his tongue.

After the fragrance dissipates, the bitter taste spreads.

"Said that she offended the county lord of Danyang, and Princess Danyang wanted to take revenge on her, so she framed her at her birthday banquet, slandered the other party for lying for the past few years, and finally forced her out of the capital?"

Xiao Kite's eyes widened, and the tea in his hand was almost spilled in surprise.

"Jing Ning, how do you know?"

Jing Ning smiled and casually placed the teacup on the table.

How do you know? It's just to be expected.

She deliberately mentioned the Yang family, saying that Zheng Xiuning's reputation would be damaged because of this incident, so she naturally couldn't sit still, and would think of ways to whitewash her daughter.

But if you want to whitewash Zheng Xiuning, you must take the county lord of Danyang as a name.

How could the county lord of Danyang suffer such a breath?

When the time comes, the two of them will inevitably fight in the dark, and with the strength and background of the Yang family, it is not enough to see it in the eyes of the people's palace.

But it was naturally impossible for her to point this out: "I guess, after all, the reputation of the county lord of Danyang has been put there for so many years, whether it is her or not, people will always subconsciously favor the weak." ”

Xiao Yuan nodded, with a look of emotion.

"Also, the county lord of Danyang is also aggrieved this time, if she did it herself, it would be fine, obviously she didn't do it herself, but everyone thought she did it herself, she had to be mad."

She didn't ask Jing Ning when she saw Zheng Xiuning clearly, nor did she ask what was going on at the birthday banquet that day.

This is also the reason why Jing Ning likes to get along with Xiao Yuan, not only because the other party has a bold personality, but also because the other party will stop at the point and will not interfere with you too much.

She chatted with Xiao Yuan for a while, and the two of them chatted from the sun to the west.

After about an hour and a half, Jing Ning stood up and said to Xiao Yuan: "It's not early, I'll go back first, and we will get together again if I have time in the future." ”

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Wow, but next time, it's best to make an appointment in Furong Ju, I've wanted to eat hibiscus cake there for a long time." ”

The two glanced at each other, and they all agreed-

"You're in for a treat!"
