Ning Zheng's eyes were so terrifying that Ning Jun shrank in fear, lowered his head in despair, and left without saying a word.
Mrs. Shizi hurriedly chased her out, "Jun'er!"
Ning Jun paused and responded in a low voice, "Mother."
Mrs. Shizi walked up to him slowly and said softly: "Your eldest brother is just too sad, don't take it to heart."
Ning Jun responded, "I know, I don't blame brother."
The Crown Prince's wife smiled and said, "Good boy. Mom has neglected you these years. How about you cook your favorite hibiscus cake today?"
"good."
Ning Jun's voice was as inaudible as a mosquito.
Mrs. Shizi thought he was still sad because of Ning Zheng's cruelty to him, but she didn't know that it was her who really made him sad.
Hibiscus cake is not Ning Jun's favorite, but Ning Zheng's.
The study room of Duke Ningguo's mansion.
Duke Ning Guo and his wife sat opposite each other.
Ning Guogong poured a full cup of tea and said thoughtfully: "Since Princess Sun wants to get rid of the Princess of Duanyang County, we can help her."
Mrs. Ning Guogong looked hesitant, "But if Mrs. Sun hadn't come up with such dirty tricks, Zheng'er wouldn't be in this situation."
Ning Guogong glanced at her, "What do you think? Is it because Ning Zheng and Concubine Sun turned against each other?"
"That's impossible. Concubine Sun will not allow us to be enemies with her." Mrs. Ning Guogong retorted without thinking, "But we can pretend to be deaf and mute and retreat in order to advance. Susu is the queen, and the emperor treats her With so much love and affection, wouldn’t it be more secure for our Duke to be on the side of King Qi?”
"You know how much we have been on the side of King Qi since we took over the throne. You know how much we have done for this. Susu's ability to become the queen is her own choice and has nothing to do with us. We do not have the power of the dragon, but we are An ordinary relative. But if we support King Qi to ascend to the throne, we will not only have a title, but also real power."
He and Mrs. Ning Guogong are young couples who like to discuss everything. Even if they have differences, he is willing to explain patiently.
Mrs. Ning Guogong still felt sorry for Ning Su, "But Su Su, will the concubine really keep her promise and let her live?"
"Yes. Madam, the overall situation is more important. Ning Zheng is now reaping the consequences. If you want to blame him, you can only blame him for being stupid."
Mrs. Ning Guogong nodded, "I know."
She didn't see what Ning Zheng looked like just now. Ning Zheng never took the initiative to explain to them the dirty things he did, so they were caught off guard by what happened.
Although she felt sorry for Ning Zheng's experience, she still knew how important it was compared to the fate of the entire Duke's mansion.
Ning Guogong's mansion is a succession of nobles from generation to generation. As long as they don't make any big mistakes, their descendants will be prosperous and wealthy.
However, neither she nor the Duke of Guo were content to sit back and enjoy their success.
Nowadays, Ning Guo Gong's mansion is prosperous thanks to his in-laws. In fact, he does not have much real power in his hands. In the entire Ning Guo Gong's mansion, only Ning Guo Gong himself serves as an official in the government.
This is not what they want, which is why Ning Guogong cultivates Ning Zheng with all his heart.
Now that Ning Zheng is dead, fortunately they are still healthy and have time to cultivate Ning Jun.
"Go and make arrangements. Jiang Yuhuan can't stay anyway."
"Okay. But Mrs. Sun is trying every possible means to get rid of Jiang Yuhuan. Why?"
Ning Guogong took a sip of tea and said, "Wanwan mentioned that Concubine Sun intends to let Uncle Zhongyi's legitimate daughter Qi Xiaoyu marry into the county prince's palace."
Mrs. Ning Guogong was even more puzzled, "Qi Xiaoyu is a simple-minded person, how could the concubine choose her?"
"Simple minds are easy to control. Both the concubine and the queen mother want to plant people around the county prince, and they seem to be looking for something in the county prince's palace. But the county prince is cautious, and ordinary people can't get in. In the past, they wanted to target the county prince's concubine. It's just that the county prince killed her and refused to marry, so they had nothing to do. The county prince suddenly took a concubine, and they thought it was a good opportunity, so they wanted to grant a marriage. The queen mother took the lead and let Jiang Yuhuan take the position of the county princess, so the queen mother was naturally unwilling. "
After knowing the reason, Mrs. Ning Guogong also understood.
What they are looking for is very important, and they must not let the Queen Mother find it first.
"Then Jiang Yuhuan really can't stay any longer."
Duke Ning's mansion was thinking about how to get rid of Jiang Yuhuan, and Prime Minister Zuo's mansion was also having a heated discussion.
"Leave Jiang Yuhuan to me, I will make her cry and beg for mercy this time."
"Have you not learned enough lessons?!"
The left prime minister rarely cares about family affairs, so to be able to alert him this time is really a big deal.
If Zhou Zhe hadn't been wise enough to delay the case, we don't know how the matter would have ended.
The only good thing is that Sun Qi is clear-headed and calm enough, and does not make a fuss like Ning Zheng. During the trial of the case, the focus is rarely on him.
Concubine Sun was his daughter, but she had always had a good idea and was unwilling to discuss it with her. She didn't even tell him about using her nephew.
When his daughter-in-law learned that it was Mrs. Sun's idea, she wanted to argue with Mrs. Sun, but he had to come out to suppress it.
He blamed everything on Jiang Yuhuan and expressed the idea that Jiang Yuhuan must be eliminated.
Sun Qi responded immediately and said with a gloomy face that he would do it himself.
He just fell into trouble at the hands of Jiang Yuhuan today. How could the Left Prime Minister agree to him and let him mess up the matter?
"I underestimated the enemy today, but I won't do it next time."
The tone of the left prime minister left no room for doubt, "There will be no next time. Don't worry about this matter and stay well. If nothing happens, think about Sun Qi's heirs."
"Yes, we understand."
——
Jiang Yuhuan rarely has a moment of leisure, and Fu Shiju's attitude towards her has improved recently. Perhaps because she wrote the note, there is no longer murderous intent in her eyes.
Every day she thought about how to get Fu Lingyi to accept the concubine, and had servants do the errands for her, so she stayed at home all day long.
The news of Ning Zheng and Sun Qi's affair has been rampant these days. Although the case has no result, everyone has concluded that the matter is true.
Especially when the news leaked out that the women who complained were being kept in a villa by the Ningguo Duke's people, everyone went to the villa to confirm the news, which confirmed the two men's charges.
For a time, there was a strong call for Shuntian Mansion to arrest the two and imprison them, but Shuntian Mansion always had no choice but to take action.
It wasn't until Shuntian Mansion arrested several people into Shuntian Mansion for disturbing official business that everyone calmed down.
"The princess of the county."
Jiang Yuhuan was lying on the couch with his back spread out, holding a fan in his hand and fanning quickly.
It's so hot in summer that even if you put ice in the room, you won't feel cool.
"Is the matter settled?"
"Yes. When the slave came back, someone handed the slave a note."
Jiang Yuhuan paused with the hand holding the fan, looked at Sanqi, and said teasingly: "Sanqi, it's not bad, someone has already sent a love letter!"
"Princess Princess!"
Sanqi looked serious, and Jiang Yuhuan suddenly stopped smiling, "Okay, okay, I'm not kidding. Who gave it to me?"
"I don't know. I'm planning to meet the princess in the private room No. 1 of Shenshi Youyuan Teahouse today."
Jiang Yuhuan looked arrogant, "If he asks me out, I have to go?"
"The paper says, if you want to live, go ahead and wait until Shen Zheng. Don't wait until it's too late."
Jiang Yuhuan suddenly felt unhappy when he heard the threats. He threw his fan away and said, "I won't go if you are so arrogant."
Shen Shi.
Outside the Youyuan Teahouse.
"Sanqi, did you see that? Who is sitting in the box?"
Jiang Yuhuan hid in the corner of the teahouse and stretched his neck to look around.
She came after all, who told her to cherish her life?
Sanqi stood aside expressionlessly, much more stable than Jiang Yuhuan.
Those who didn't know thought it was a wealthy lady from some family and an inconspicuous maid.
"Close the window so I can't see you."
"He has a perfect character." Jiang Yuhuan straightened up, patted his sleeves, and said seriously, "Let's go and meet him."
She walked into the teahouse and went straight to Tianzi No. 1.
Sanqi stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then a clear young voice came from the room.
"Hold on."
Jiang Yuhuan looked at the sign on the box with confusion. It was "Tianzi No. 1", that's right.
Could it be that some little brat was playing tricks on her?
Just as she was hesitating whether to observe in the dark first, the door suddenly opened, and a handsome and slightly childish face appeared in front of her.
"Princess Princess, please come in."
Jiang Yuhuan pointed at herself, "Do you know me? I've never seen you."
"Come in and talk." The young man turned sideways to give up his position.
Jiang Yuhuan and Sanqi walked in. The young man looked around cautiously before closing the door.
He turned around and bowed his hands in salute, his manners were correct, and he looked like he was a child of a wealthy family.
When he reported out of his home, Jiang Yuhuan suddenly felt that things had become very interesting.
"You said you are Ning Zheng's biological brother, Ning Jun?"
"yes."
Jiang Yuhuan sat down slowly, resting his elbows on the table, dragging his chin with his palms, and tapping the index finger of his other hand, "Let me think about it, your brother should blame me for everything that happened to him. You know that he and I He has a grudge, but he still wants to meet with me in private and threaten his life."
Ning Jun explained unhurriedly, "The princess has misunderstood. I am not threatening my life, but I came here to inform the princess to save her life."
"tell me the story."
Ning Jun didn't mince words and went straight to the point, "My grandparents want to kill you."
Jiang Yuhuan laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke, "They don't want to talk to Concubine Sun for reasons, but they want to share Concubine Sun's worries."
"Exactly."
"What about you? What's your purpose?"
Ning Jun didn't answer in a hurry, but handed over a stack of paper first.
"This is evidence of Ning Zheng's misdeeds over the years. I have known his true face for a long time, and I have been waiting for the opportunity to kill him with one blow."
Jiang Yuhuan took it, glanced at it briefly and put it aside, "Did you let people do the rumors these days? Do you hate Ning Zheng so much?"
She thought it was Yun Duo's handiwork, but she never imagined that it was an internal fight in Ningguo's palace.
"I don't hate him. But I know that he has been trained as an heir. If my father really can't support him, my grandfather will bypass my father and directly make him the Duke of the country. Because he is valued by his grandfather, he can easily get what I don't have. Things. To be honest, I don’t care about those things. But since I discovered that without those things, I have no say in the house, let alone the ability to protect my loved ones, so I wanted to fight for them."
Jiang Yuhuan listened confused and didn't know the meaning of this confession. He said uncertainly: "You want to use me to suppress Ning Zheng until he has no chance to stand up, so that you can gain a foothold in the Duke's Mansion?"
Unexpectedly, Ning Jun shook his head, "No. I will impress everyone with my ability in the Duke's Mansion, but there is one thing that I have no power and power, and it is really beyond my reach."
"What's the matter?"
