Seeing that the long knife was about to pierce the concubine's chest, the next moment, only a roar was heard, the stabbing attack stopped midway, and the long knife fell to the ground with a clang.
Princess Zhen was in shock and stared blankly as the sedan curtain was lifted open, revealing a pretty little face.
"Toffee, are you okay?"
An Zhining covered the injury on her shoulder, her face pale, "The bandits have been wiped out, the princess can rest assured."
Princess Zhen's eyes flashed, "Whose girl are you from?"
An Zhining paused, lowered his head and said, "The daughter of the people is the daughter of Prime Minister An Zhengqian."
Princess Zhen's eyes flashed, she turned to look at the nanny beside her, and said meaningfully: "Then, An Ruowan is your sister?"
Hearing this, An Zhining seemed not to know, and asked in surprise: "The concubine knows my sister, why haven't I heard her mention it?"
The concubine didn't say much, she just smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."
An Zhining said hurriedly: "I happened to be passing by and wanted to go to Qingshan Temple to offer incense. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. The concubine was not shocked, right?"
Concubine Zhen glanced at the wound on her shoulder that was still bleeding, turned her head and winked at Mammy. Mammy understood, got up and left.
The concubine then looked at An Zhining, "Since we are traveling together, I happen to have the imperial doctor with me. In order to save my injuries, you can treat me in my car."
Surprise suddenly flashed in An Zhining's eyes, but she endured it hard.
"Thank you, Princess."
When she came down from Qingshan Temple, it was already dark. Concubine Zhen specially sent An Zhining to the Prime Minister's car, then patted her hand.
"You girl and I are very close to each other. It happens to be my birthday a few days ago. I wonder if you would like to participate?"
An Zhining's eyes lit up, and after enduring it again and again, she managed to say solemnly, "It's Zhining's blessing."
After watching Princess Zhen and her entourage leave, the ambition in her eyes was clearly visible.
Lulu on the side also said happily: "Congratulations, Miss. I will definitely be able to meet the Prince at the birthday ceremony. Isn't it easy for the Miss to win the Prince's favor and become the future Prince and Princess?"
An Zhining rubbed the injury on her shoulder, a moment of cruelty flashed in her eyes.
"If it goes well, it won't be in vain that I put all my effort into making such a scene!"
An Ruowan has been running around the Duke's Mansion very diligently these past few days. Although the Prime Minister and his wife see it, they only care about their father-in-law, so they can't say anything and can only come and go as she pleases.
An Ruowan, on the other hand, came back a little late that day and was too lazy to walk through the front door to mobilize the crowd, so he simply turned through the back door. Without thinking, he saw Aunt Liu and Song Zhiming talking behind a tree.
She immediately found a corner to hide and listened carefully.
Aunt Liu's face was filled with blame, "What are you doing here! I warn you not to cause trouble for Zhining, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"
Song Zhiming couldn't listen to Nanny Liu's nonsense, so he took out a lot of money directly from his pocket.
Seeing this scene, Grandma Liu's expression changed, "Where did you get all this money?"
Although the words in his mouth were like this, the money had already been stuffed into his arms.
After pretending to be rich, he seemed to have just come to his senses, "Please be patient during this time! That little bitch has changed a lot since he came back. We can't hold our daughter back at this time."
"What are you afraid of? I've been very lucky these days. I won all these things. Don't worry, I know my own rules!" Song Zhiming didn't take Mother Liu's words to heart at all. Grandma rubbed her butt.
"Now that I have more money, I will only win more and more. When I win enough money, I will definitely take you and Zhining out of this Laoshizi Prime Minister's Mansion."
After saying this, Song Zhiming did not forget to spit on the ground.
But Aunt Liu gave him a slap, "Don't forget that Zhining still holds the title of the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If she leaves the Prime Minister's Mansion, who knows who Zhining's identity is! Never say this again in the future. carry."
Seeing that Aunt Liu seemed to be angry, Song Zhiming became more serious and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't say it, don't say it. I really don't know what's so good about a prime minister's residence. It can't compare to the freedom of the countryside!"
"What do you know? With Zhining's status as prime minister, do you know what kind of marriage you can get? Have you ever heard of Prince Rong?" Aunt Liu looked so happy that people who didn't know would think that An Zhining was already married. Entered the palace of Prince Rong.
Song Zhiming didn't expect that things would turn out like this. There was ecstasy in his eyes, and he grabbed Nanny Liu's hands, "What you said is true! Hahaha, then wouldn't I be the prince's father-in-law?" You can have as much money as you want from now on!"
When Grandma Liu saw Song Zhiming's appearance, she did not forget to warn her carefully: "Don't be too happy first. Even if this marriage can come true, Zhining is still a concubine, and there is still that bitch An Ruowan weighing on her head. ! We have to find a way for Zhining and get rid of An Ruowan as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Song Zhiming let out a cold snort, "Isn't it just An Ruowan? I am her father. It's not just a matter of words to deal with her!"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. That little bitch is different from before. If you are not careful, you will fall into trouble on her." Aunt Liu couldn't tell what exactly An Ruowan had changed, so she could only give her a few words of warning. .
Who knows that Song Zhiming still doesn't believe it, "No matter how cruel I am, she was beaten up by me. What's more, the last time I sold her to a brothel, although she escaped, but now she still has the contract of sale." In my hands, if you want to kill or cut into pieces, do you still have to listen to me?"
Nanny Liu breathed a sigh of relief. She had forgotten about this incident. With the contract of betrayal, she was not afraid that An Ruowan would stir up any trouble.
The two discussed for a long time how to deal with An Ruowan, and then Song Zhiming waved his hands impatiently and asked Nanny Liu to go back first.
After they all left, An Ruowan emerged from the darkness, remembering what they had just discussed, and raised the corners of his lips coldly.
In the previous life, it was because of that contract of selling oneself!
Once again, she was forced to live in a man-eating den. She was forced to resist and she miscarried a three-month-old child during the dispute!
That kind of heart-wrenching pain, she will definitely retaliate a thousand times on Song Zhiming's family in this life!
Early the next morning, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Madam, what a great thing, Concubine Zhen has sent a message to our young lady to attend the birthday ceremony!"
An Zhining, who had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, stood up suddenly and walked over quickly. Without waiting for the butler's reaction, he snatched the post from his hand.
When she saw that the name above was no longer An Ruowan, but An Zhining, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she couldn't hold back her joy.
The housekeeper looked at her uncontrollable joy and said hurriedly, "The concubine also specially asked someone to give the young lady a jadeite necklace, so that the young lady must wear it as a birthday gift!"
"Zhining, what's going on?" Meng Zhiyi was dizzy looking at the scene in front of her.
Since the things were delivered, they represented Prince Rong's Mansion, but when Qingfeng came over a few days ago, didn't he still swear that An Ruowan was the only mistress of Prince Rong's Mansion? So what's going on today?
Seeing the surprise in Meng Zhiyi's eyes, An Zhining spoke shyly.
"On the way to Qingshan Temple that day, I happened to encounter Concubine Zhen being assassinated. I took action in time and saved Concubine Zhen. Concubine Zhen was grateful, so she sent the invitation."
Hearing this, Meng Zhiyi was anxious and worried, and hurriedly scolded: "You silly boy, why didn't you tell your mother about such a big thing? If a girl has scars on her body, it will be bad after all."
An Zhining shook her head: "It doesn't matter, it's my daughter's blessing to be able to save the concubine."
Before he finished speaking, he heard an urgent voice outside.
"I heard that the Dowager Empress sent a message to ask Zhining to be Princess Rong?"
