After a long and tiring journey, Su Rong and Fengling entered the Nanping Marquis Mansion and were naturally led by the housekeeper to settle in the arranged courtyard.
After the two left, Marquis Nanping looked at Ning Chi and lowered his voice and said, "Why didn't you tell me that you have a close friendship with Su Rong?"
Ning Chi looked at him, "Father, it doesn't seem to matter whether I have a deep friendship with her or not. I seek refuge in the East Palace."
When Su Rong talked about friendship, he thought that the only friendship she had with Su Rong was when Zhou Gu wanted to kill Jiang Yunying. He asked her to ask Zhou Gu for a favor, and later accompanied him to have a drink with Zhou Gu. , in terms of friendship, there really is no friendship.
But since Su Rong said they had a deep friendship, he would not refute it.
"How can it be the same? She is the princess of Nanchu, the heir to the throne of Nanchu, the daughter of Princess Zhenmin, his majesty's niece, and the prince's cousin." Marquis Nanping glared at Ningchi, "If I had known about your friendship earlier Shen Shen, why should I support that loser Yan Li?"
Ning Chi's face was expressionless, "I didn't know her origins when I went to Jiangning County. My father had chosen the eldest prince long ago. At that time, I hadn't gone to Jiangning County yet and didn't know her."
Nanping Hou choked up and said, "That's all, I am blind."
Who would have thought that Yan Li would be so vulnerable? He had been working for him for many years, but when he turned around, he was completely defeated in less than a month.
This Su Rong is really powerful. He has only been in the capital for a short time, but he has stirred up the situation and changed the situation in the capital.
He lowered his voice and asked Ning Chi, "Su Rong will personally send your younger brother and sister back to Nanping this time. What is her plan? Do you know?"
Ning Chi looked at Marquis Nanping, "No matter what her purpose is, will my father still regret it after seeing his eldest sister and second brother come back safely?"
Nanping Hou was immediately angry, "What are you talking about? How could I go back on my word? The prince has gained power and you defected to him early. Even if the eldest prince lost, he still kept the Nanping Hou Mansion from being implicated. How could I Are you looking for death again?"
"Father, it's good that you understand. The prince is kind, but he cannot be bullied." Ning Chi stood up, "Father, go talk to your eldest sister and second brother! They have been held in your hands since childhood and have experienced life and death. , I must be extremely wronged. I miss you so much that my son won’t accompany you."
After Ning Chi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Marquis Nanping opened his mouth and then gave up in silence. I thought that Ning Chi really had strong wings, so I dared to tell him now, but now although he still has the title, he has the final say in the entire Nanping Marquis Mansion, and he, the Marquis, has become an empty shelf, even if His words were disrespectful and there was nothing he could do about it.
He should be lucky that he didn't kill his father and mother.
Marquis Nanping really wanted to ask Ning Yao and Ning Ze what happened, so he hurried away.
After Ning Chi walked away, he turned around and looked at the back of Nanping Hou as he hurried away. He thought about his father, who loved his stepmother, loved his house, and loved the children his stepmother had given birth to. Hearing that the eldest prince's concubine had been exposed and that her younger brother had also been arrested, he suddenly became anxious and went to the Eighteen Villages. He thought at that time that if he was arrested, he would probably not be so anxious. After all, he did not have a biological mother who ran to his father dying and crying, begging him to save her children. If one of him dies, he will still have a son born to him by the woman he likes.
He no longer expected his father's love. As long as he truly settled down and passed the Marquis Mansion into his hands, he would let him spend his remaining years in peace.
Marquis Nanping hurried into his wife's yard and heard a group of people crying inside. Mrs. Nanping Marquis held her son and cried. Seeing her son's severed fingers, her heart broke.
Ning Ze was held in his mother's arms, and he cried loudly like a tired bird returning to its nest.
After Nanping Hou entered the house, he saw that the mother and son were crying profusely. It seemed that they could not stop for a while. He could only ask Ning Yao, "The news from Beijing cannot be transmitted. I sent people to the capital to find out. You made a big mistake and got into trouble, and you were captured. Now tell me carefully, what happened? How come it failed in the blink of an eye, when everything was going well and everything was going in a good direction?"
Ning Yao nodded and told Marquis Nanping how the eldest prince failed in a calm voice.
Mrs. Nanping Hou had stopped crying. When she heard that Prince Ruian's Xie Lin chopped off Ning Ze's fingers to force Ning Yao to plead guilty and reveal the eldest prince, she started crying again and stretched out her hand to Ning Yao, "Come on, Yao'er, Let me hug you too."
Ning Yao moved over and let Mrs. Nanping Hou hold her in her arms. At the same time, she advised her, "Mother, please stop crying. My brother and I have come back well, haven't we?"
Mrs. Marquis Nanping cried sadly, "It's over, it's all over. Now the Marquis has been ignored by your eldest brother. Even the servants in my yard obey your eldest brother. We used to bully your eldest brother a lot, but now he has gained the upper hand. , I don’t know how to bully him back..."
Ning Yao said nothing.
Ning Ze cried again, "Just outside the city, after I saw my eldest brother, I knelt down and begged him. He told me to get up. If I didn't get up, he would kill me. Oh my god, mother, I don't want to die. …”
Mrs. Nanping Hou cried and looked at Nanping Hou, "Master Hou, you have to protect Ze'er."
Marquis Nanping had no choice but to say, "Don't worry. Starting from tomorrow, I will hand over the title to the crown prince. For the sake of me, his biological father, he will always say something about blood and family ties. After all, Ze'er is his biological brother."
After hearing this, Mrs. Nanping Hou felt as if her heart had been cut out and started crying again.
Ning Yao patted Mrs. Hou and nodded, "Mother, father is right. We and eldest brother are a family after all. Broken bones are connected with tendons. Please stop crying. You are still sick and your health is important."
After she finished speaking, she added, "It's not easy for my brother to save his life. We are lucky to be able to come back alive now. Mother, you must be content."
Mrs. Nanping Hou cried and looked at Ning Ze.
Ning Ze nodded repeatedly, raised his hand and swore, "Mother, as long as I live, I don't dare to compete with my elder brother. I can't compete either. I don't want to die."
Mrs. Nanping Hou looked at her son. With his appearance now, he was really lucky to be able to come back alive. How could he possibly win over Ningchi? So, she nodded with tears in her eyes, "Then please beg the Crown Prince! Give us a way to survive."
Su Rong and Fengling took a shower and changed clothes. After washing themselves off from the cold, they sat in the room and talked.
Fengling whispered: "Sister, you were wrong. The situation in Nanping does not require our help at all. How many days can we stay?"
"Have a day off tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow." Su Rong said.
Fengling asked: "Would you like to go to the Eighteenth Village to see if Mr. Zhou's recruitment goes smoothly?"
Su Rong shook his head, "I won't go."
Fei Ling blinked, "He just went to the Eighteenth Village for three days. If we only stay for one day and then leave, it will be invisible."
Su Rong glanced at him and said nothing.
Monthly ticket, okay?
