Quietly listening to the girl's narration, Ning Qingru's heart calmed down. He already had a rough guess in his heart, this guess was very unfavorable for Guan Ningjun, and for the Ning family, it was even more of a blow to the bottom of the kettle, but he believed in his father.

I also believe in the Ning family.

It's the confidence that comes with knowing over a long period of time, and there's nothing subjective about it.

By the time the conversation was over, the girl's contempt for Ning Qingru and the faint hostility had disappeared, and she was even a little shocked.

It is said that the eldest young master of the Ning family is a scoundrel, bullying men and women, rampant and domineering, and his cultivation has been stagnant, and he is a complete moth-eaten tumor.

But what the girl saw and heard today was completely inconsistent with the rumors, the man in front of her, gentle and polite, his eyes flashed with the light of wisdom, and the logical analysis was even more straightforward, without half a waste appearance.

This made her wonder, could it be that Ning Qingru was just pretending to be in disguise? But what was he pretending to do?

I don't understand.

"By the way, what's your name?" asked Ning Qingru.

The girl came back to her senses and said, "Shen Shuanghua." ”

"It's a good name. Ning Qingru chewed on those three words carefully and nodded.

"After I was born, my father asked Mr. the most learned private school in the village to give me the name, and in order to thank that gentleman, he caught and killed all the old hens that had been raised in the family to lay eggs, and stewed the soup to entertain him. Shen Shuanghua said, her eyes reddened slightly.

The Si people are gone, but the traces left behind are everywhere, and every bit can bring heartbreak and sorrow.

"In the future, follow me, I will go back sooner or later, back to the north, you and me, what unevenness, what dark tide, all crushed. Ning Qingru looked at Shen Shuanghua sincerely and said.

Shen Shuanghua was silent for a moment and nodded. She chose to believe Ning Qingru, not for anything else, just for the trace of righteousness revealed in his expression during the conversation.

Of course, it is a bit hypocritical to say this, but what Shen Shuanghua likes more is that he is willing to say a word for her family and for the thousands of Guan Ning soldiers who have been treated unequally.

It may be a small person's voice, but if he has this thought, it is enough.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Ning Qingru followed Shen Shuanghua to a ruined temple outside the city, and heard her say that her mother's body was left here.

After knowing the detailed location, Chi Dongyu went to find a special funeral team, and Ning Qingru arrived at the location with Shen Shuanghua first.

Ning Qingru didn't go in, she waited outside, and let Shen Shuanghua go in alone.

After waiting for a while, Shen Shuanghua came out, her face was surprisingly calm, Ning Qingru glanced at her, and obviously saw the tears in the corners of her eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Speaking of which, a large part of their family's situation is because of Guan Ningjun and the Ning family, which Ning Qingru can't deny and doesn't want to deny.

After waiting for a while, Chi Dongyu led the group over.

They are a dedicated funeral team, looking at feng shui, digging graves, entering the earth, filling in the soil, all in one go.

Shen Shuanghua kept looking at them, watching his mother being buried, with a calm expression. But just when Ning Qingru thought that her temperament had quietly changed, she suddenly knelt heavily and kowtowed deeply to the tombstone in front of the tomb that had been built, and did not raise her head for a long time, her body trembled slightly.

When she stood up again, all emotions dissipated.

Then, she turned away.

......

Shen Shuanghua lived in the small courtyard rented by Ning Qingru, in order to make her less restrained, Ning Qingru deliberately let Chi Dongyu simply stay.

He went back to the academy alone.

Ning Qingru secretly decided that he would also live outside in the future, after all, he had to cultivate with Chi Dongyu, although he no longer had the shackles of the realm now, but his cultivation was still not as fast as cultivating with Chi Dongyu.

He can't slowly cultivate by himself now, he needs to become strong quickly.

For the first time sleeping alone in the bedroom, Ning Qingru was a little unaccustomed to it, but after coming alone for so many years, he was not very attached to the feeling of being accompanied by Chi Dongyu.

Sighing, he lay on the bed, and before he planned to close his eyes and go to sleep, he remembered that he had said that he had climbed to the sky with Chi Dongyu to enjoy the scenery during the day, but he didn't expect to meet Shen Shuanghua, and he secretly planned to make up for today no matter what.

The relationship between him and Chi Dongyu has always been utilitarian rather than emotional, so he needs to be well maintained and carefully managed. Of course, even if two people really fall in love with each other in the future, these seemingly small things must be done, after all, love not only has wind and snow, but also firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, after Ning Qingru practiced the Hundred Refining Boxing, he took a bath, ate and went to the classroom.

In the classroom, because he came early, there were only two daughters, Tong Weiwei and Lin Zhiqing.

The three of them were alone in the room again, Ning Qingru frowned, ignoring the two women's eyes looking at his longing appearance, indifferently walked to his place and sat down, and then closed his eyes to recuperate.

Huang Xiejun's matter, the two daughters seem to know that it is probably because of them, or there are other reasons, but what can a simple girl like them know?

just felt that he seemed to be causing trouble to Ning Qingru, so he was no longer embarrassed to take the initiative to contact Ning Qingru.

They are very good girls.

Ning Qingru secretly thought in his heart, but thinking that such a good and simple girl would inevitably become a tool for marriage in the future, he gradually only had pity left in his heart.

After all, there was nothing he could do, what else could he do but pity them?

When class was about to start, Chen Xuedong hurriedly walked into the classroom, he saw Ning Qingru sitting in his seat, his face was slightly excited, and he hurriedly trotted to his seat.

Everyone around them felt strange, looked at him a few times, and did not see anything strange, so they withdrew their gaze.

After sitting down, Chen Xuedong gasped for a while, adjusted his rapid breathing, and then turned his head, looked around, and whispered, "Brother Ning, I have made a big discovery." ”

Ning Qingru opened his eyes and said indifferently: "What did you find?" ”

"I went back and went through their information, and I found something that I guessed or not, but I felt compelled to tell you. Chen Xuedong lowered his voice a little and explained.

Ning Qingru nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"Brother Ning should know the situation in Chai Xukun's family, so let's not talk about him first, let's talk about Yao Chen's family. Chen Xuedong said this, and once again confirmed whether anyone was paying attention here, but fortunately, they were in the corner at the back of the classroom, and no one deliberately turned their heads to look at them.

In this way, Chen Xuedong continued: "In Yao Chen's family, his grandfather and his father all work in the Finance and Taxation Department, and it can even be said that the Finance and Taxation Department is basically equivalent to the surname Yao. ”

When Ning Qingru heard this, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, he frowned, looked at Chen Xuedong, and said, "How can such an important department of the Finance and Taxation Department be controlled by his Yao family?"

Chen Xuedong said with a wry smile: "It is all due to the decentralization of the adults of the household department, there are two divisions under the household department, one is the finance and taxation department, and the other is the household registration department, which manages the finances and population household registration, but because the newly appointed Lord Shangshu is not very concerned about things and practices wholeheartedly, he has given the following two divisions great power." ”

Ning Qingru listened carefully, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, who was that Hubu Shangshu? Emperor Dayan did not remove him from his post in such a way, which was obviously a little strange.

But curiosity is curiosity, he didn't ask much, just listened to Chen Xuedong.

"I heard that half a year ago, your third uncle demolished the largest official residence of the Finance and Taxation Department in the Northern Regions, and injured the chief officer, I don't know why for the time being. ”

When Ning Qingru suddenly heard the news, her eyes suddenly sharpened.

Half a year ago?

What a coincidence!

But he held back the anger that rose in his heart and listened to Chen Xuedong continue.

"The Yao family has always been on the side of the Lord and the Liang Dynasty in the middle of the court and towards the Great Liang Dynasty. On their side, some people even radically said that even if they ceded land and paid compensation, they should not continue to fight with the Great Liang Dynasty, and only the Qin Dynasty benefited from the competition. It's just that the man touched His Majesty's rebellious scales and was degraded. Chen Xuedong said: "After that, their faction reined in a lot, and never mentioned the land reparation, but always persuaded His Majesty not to start a war again." ”

"And the main battle faction has always been headed by the Ning family, your uncle has been in the imperial capital all the year round, because of the court disputes, he has repeatedly threatened to kill all the misguided dog minions of the lord and the country, this move undoubtedly makes the smell of gunpowder between the two factions stronger. ”

When Chen Xuedong said this, the corners of Ning Qingru's mouth were already hooked into a sneer, he probably knew why Yao Chen was targeting him like this.

A few days ago, Chen Xuedong said that the gentleman couldn't find anything to do, so he was looking for trouble, that reason was too lame, he only believed two or three points, and today, Chen Xuedong's words, he completely believed it.

After all, the children of the gentlemen are also nobles, and seeing and scheming are innate, and not all the gentlemen are useless waste.

So in many cases, you can't just look at the surface of the incident.

Waving his hand slightly, Ning Qingru signaled that Chen Xuedong didn't need to say any more, and said with an indifferent smile: "These eleven classes are clamoring to teach me a lesson, and the family is probably from the Lord and the faction, right?"

Chen Xuedong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ning Qingru to see it so thoroughly and understand, and he had already analyzed it after giving a little information.

He has been hesitant to tell Ning Qingru about this speculation, after all, this can be regarded as involving politics, the matter is a bit big, and he is really not qualified to stir up trouble as a small idle heir.

However, since Ning Qingru has analyzed it, it is none of his business, he is just a person who provides information, if the Ning family is unlucky in the future, he will not be able to find him when he is liquidated.

However, what Chen Xuedong didn't expect was that he had been so close to Ning Qingru in the past few days, and in the eyes of outsiders, he had already been labeled as the Ning family.

In this world, there are so many good things without a little price.
