After Tang Ning returned, she went to see Princess Cheng. Gu Helian was no longer in her courtyard.
She originally wanted to meet Princess Cheng, but she was afraid that Uncle Gu's mouth would be too sharp and would hurt someone if she quarreled with her aunt, but who knew that Mother Jiang said that Princess Cheng had already rested.
Tang Ning asked in a low voice: "Auntie, did you rest so early?"
Aunt Jiang looked back at the room where the lights had been turned off: "The princess was tired at night and went to bed early."
Tang Ning knew that she was not telling the truth, so he hesitated for a moment before asking directly: "Did Uncle Gu tell aunt about the matter at Prince Cheng's Mansion..."
"The girl also knows?"
Tang Ning nodded.
Seeing that she also knew about the incident in Prince Cheng's Mansion, Aunt Jiang's smile dropped uncontrollably.
She lowered her voice with red eyes: "Gu Langjun came to see the princess at night and told her about the prince. The princess refused to believe it at first, and the two started to quarrel. Gu Langjun and the princess had a grudge in the past. , there was a bit of arrogance in the quarrel, and the two of them had a very serious quarrel, and Gu Langjun slammed the door and left."
"What about her aunt?"
"The princess had fetal force. Fortunately, Mrs. Qin left some anti-fetal pills. After taking them, she recovered. However, the princess kept crying after Gu Langjun left. She didn't ask the old slave to go in, and she didn't allow the old slave to go. Looking for you."
Princess Cheng just locked herself in the room and refused to see anyone.
Tang Ning's eyes were full of worry when she heard this. She knew that Princess Cheng was an extremely strong person and had an even more fiery temper. She sincerely thought that she was Ruyilang's husband, and he had deliberately crafted a scam from the beginning to trick her into falling in love with him. He deceived her into entering the house, and even deceived her into delivering her sincerely for nearly twenty years.
How could she bear this tone?
It's just that Princess Cheng's pregnancy was not going well and her body has been weak. Can she really endure such a fuss?
Tang Ning asked in a low voice: "Will my aunt return to the palace tomorrow?"
"Return." Nanny Jiang lowered her lips and said, "The princess said that whether what Gu Langjun said is true or false, she has to go and find out."
If it was false, she would never allow Gu Helian to slander the prince, but if it was true, she would never spare Prince Cheng.
Tang Ning actually guessed that she would still go back even if she knew the past. Just like Brother A said, they couldn't stop her.
Tang Ning took Aunt Jiang's hand and whispered: "My aunt is stubborn. I'm afraid she may not be able to endure it for long after she returns. She won't let me go to the palace with her. But if Prince Cheng really deceives her, there is no guarantee that my aunt will not be able to make this trip." Someone takes action."
"Brother and I borrowed Ling Yin and asked her to accompany you back tomorrow morning. There will be two secret guards to act as female envoys. Mammy must let them follow my aunt every step of the way, providing food, clothing, housing, transportation, and meeting people. Grandma should pay more attention..."
She paused and then said:
"You can avoid the others by being careful, but you must be extremely careful with the ones related to Uncle Gu's family."
Mother Jiang's heart skipped a beat and she raised her eyes suddenly: "The girl is saying..."
Tang Ning said with a stern face: "I also heard about what happened between Uncle Gu and Auntie back then. Although I don't know whether it is true or not that King Cheng deliberately approached her, but Uncle Gu is definitely not the kind of person who would be scornful of Auntie and drug her."
"If there is really something wrong with King Cheng, then he must be the one who framed Uncle Gu back then. I'm afraid they will do the same thing again."
"How could it be possible? The princess is the prince's wife..."
"If he begged for this wife with all his heart, what if he harmed her reputation, could he free Prince Cheng's palace from trouble, make Uncle Gu restrain his hands, or even force brother and I to give in?"
"He dares?!"
Aunt Jiang's face turned ugly for a moment: "The princess and Gu Langjun are innocent, how can they tolerate being insulted? The old slave will guard the princess every step of the way. If they dare to harm the princess, the old slave will fight with them!"
Tang Ning comforted the furious Nanny Jiang, exchanged a few words with her, and lingered in Princess Cheng's yard for a while before leaving.
When she returned to her residence, she went to see Song Ru first. Song Ru was still asleep, but her face was pale compared to before, and her lips were slightly rosier now.
Xichun, who was taking care of Song Ru, told her that she woke up once before, drank some rice porridge in a daze and fell asleep again.
"When the little lady woke up, she called Auntie in a daze. She cried for a while and had a stomachache. The servant kneaded the acupoints for her according to Lady Qin's method, and also used Tang Pozi to apply hot compresses. Then the little lady felt better."
Tang Ning took Song Ru's somewhat cold little hand and put it back into the quilt, and carefully tucked the corner of the quilt: "She has just come to Guishui. She is not feeling well, and she is frightened and injured. She can't stay away from anyone. You should pay more attention to her." They take turns guarding her at night."
"Don't worry, girl, I know this."
Tang Ning touched Song Ru's forehead and told Xichun and the others to take good care of Song Ru before going back with confidence.
Hot water had been prepared in the room. After Tang Ning finished washing, Hua Wu stepped forward and took off the hairpin on her head. After her long hair fell down, she asked in a low voice, "Is Uncle Gu back?"
Hua Wu shook his head: "No, the head of the Gu family stayed over in the west courtyard."
Tang Ning felt relieved, knowing that although Gu Helian had quarreled with her aunt, she still couldn't let go of her. I'm afraid she would always pay attention to her aunt's affairs. Then she said, "Go see Uncle Gu later and tell him that after aunt returns to the palace, , no matter he sends someone to protect her or whatever, please pay attention to Nanny Jiang."
"Girl?"
In the bronze mirror, Hua Wu, who was combing her hair behind her, widened her eyes in shock.
Tang Ning whispered: "I don't doubt her. Aunt Jiang is my aunt's nanny. She has served her for many years. She would not betray her, but my aunt cannot make any mistakes."
She learned a lesson from her brother.
People's hearts are unpredictable.
Defenses can not do without.
Father, son and brother can still turn against each other and do whatever it takes to frame each other. There is nothing in this world that cannot be done.
She would not hurt anyone easily, but she still had to be on guard. It would be best if Nanny Jiang was loyal, but if...
She had to protect her aunt.
Hua Wu said in a low voice: "But I look at Grandma Jiang very loyally..."
"I also hope she is loyal." Tang Ning said, "That's why I asked you to tell Uncle Gu, not anyone else."
Gu Helian acted cautiously and understood the relationship between Nanny Jiang and Princess Cheng. Even if he was wary, he would not act rashly.
Hua Wu rolled his eyes and said, "I'll avoid the others and go quietly to see Master Gu later."
If there is no problem with Aunt Jiang, this matter can only be kept in the stomachs of the girl and the head of the Gu family, and no one else can know about it, so as not to make Aunt Jiang resentful in the future and make it difficult for the girl.
If it is true, the news must not be leaked, so as not to hurt the princess...
"You are the only one who is smart." Tang Ning smiled at her.
Hua Wu bent his eyes and chuckled: "I learned this from a girl."
Hua Wu combed her long hair neatly with hands and feet. When he put down the comb, he saw that Tang Ning's shoulders were a little green. He touched them and said, "The girl is a little green here. Mrs. Fu took other things away when she left." , but I still have the medicine Fu Langjun gave me, do you want to try it?"
Tang Ning refused: "I won't try."
Brother gave her medicine for her wounds and helped her draw blood. Fu Laiqing was not a military commander, so his medicine for wounds may not be as good as brother's.
She glanced at the boxes on the table, remembered what Mrs. Fu had revealed today, and said to Hua Wu:
"Tomorrow, take two ginseng plants and have them delivered to Mrs. Fu. When you go, give them directly to Mrs. Fu. Just say that I am grateful to her for helping her several times during this period, as well as the repayment of these medicines today. From now on, If the Fu family sends anything else, they will all be declined."
Hua Wu was a little surprised when he heard this and couldn't help but said: "Don't you like Mr. Fu?"
"Why should I like him?"
"But I think the Fu family is very good."
"How about the Fu family? That's their business. What does it have to do with me?"
"But……"
Seeing that the little girl still wanted to talk, Tang Ning turned around and looked at her seriously: "I know what you want to say. The Fu family is a good family, and Mr. Fu is also a good person, but I have no intention of being with him. , we can’t delay him by being vague.”
"Mrs. Fu intends to bring me and Langjun Fu together, but I don't have to do it. If I don't express my attitude early and let her mistakenly think that I am also interested in the Fu family, it will only hurt me if I say no at the end of the future. The friendship between the two families cannot be forgiven for Mrs. Fu’s previous defense of me.”
The old man was sensible and protective of her, so she couldn't hurt his heart by being vague.
Hua Wu thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Does that girl really not want to get married?"
Tang Ning shook his head: "No, I want to prepare for the establishment of the academy. I will be able to build a girls' school in the future. I want to read more books and find a few like-minded people to do my best to educate some girls. I also want to accompany Ah Brother, I want to stay in Jiuyun Lane..."
If she gets married, my brother will be left with only one person.
Tang Ning raised his head and said seriously: "I have a big heart, and what I want is not something that the ordinary world can accommodate. But if you find someone you like one day, just come and tell me openly, and I will definitely be happy." Marry you naked."
Hua Wu suddenly muttered: "I don't want to get married, I will accompany the girl."
Tang Ning laughed and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay in college. If one day I see a handsome man, I won't be able to cry and clamor to get married. Even I don't want him anymore."
Hua Wu glared: "I don't know how to do that."
"You really don't know? But why did my eyes go straight when I saw you looking at the black-armored guards practicing martial arts in the courtyard next door two days ago?"
Tang Ning imitated the way she hid behind the pillar and secretly held her face, pinching her throat: "Sister Nian Xia, the one who is good-looking and can dance with sticks..."
"Girl!!"
The little girl was still young and couldn't help but joke. Her face turned red with anger after saying a few words. Seeing Tang Ning looking at her teasingly, Hua Wu blushed and stamped her feet.
"I'm not going to tell you anymore. I'm going to find Master Gu!"
Hua Wu ran away in a hurry, almost kicking the door frame, which made Tang Ning laugh at the desk.
The candle shadow in the room swayed, and Tang Ning smiled because her stomach ached. When she raised her head and rubbed her hand, she saw a little girl with curved eyebrows and eyes, a small face as bright as a flower, pink cheeks and red lips in the bronze mirror.
The scars on her face have faded a lot, and her skin has returned to its former whiteness. The spacious pajamas she wears reveal her slender neck, her apricot eyes widen at the end of her eyes, and her cheeks are deeply sunken. There is no trace of the haze after rebirth on her face.
But only she knew that her state of mind was not what it used to be, and she would never be as innocent as she used to be when she was infatuated with someone.
In fact, Tang Ning was not against marrying, nor was she unable to let go of the past because of Lu Zhinian. She just always felt that after so many experiences, it would be difficult for anyone in this world to be able to amaze the years.
After all, she has already met the best man in the world. To make her fall in love, he must be better than her brother.
Better-looking than him, gentler than him, more noble and calm than him, and even more resourceful.
The sky is as bright as the clear moon, the phoenix eyes are twinkling, that face is incomparable, the figure is like a strong pine tree shining on the moon, the cliff is rugged, obviously when you wear clothes on weekdays, you look slim, but when you take off your outer clothes, your waistline looks like It’s the bow string that is tightly taut with hidden strength...
"Pooh!"
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Song Tangning spat loudly and reached out to pat his somewhat hot face.
Little Haitang, what are you thinking about?
That's your brother!
She reached out to touch the cup not far away and drank it all in one gulp. The somewhat cold water flowed down her throat and into her stomach. Tang Ning shook the water in her head as she was fascinated by the beauty and muttered while holding the cup. .
"It's all my fault, Sister Ayue..."
The lustful man led her astray.
She is not the kind of person who will be dazzled by beauty!
Qian Qiyue, who was being dragged into a "heart-to-heart talk" by Mrs. Qian at Qian's house, sneezed heavily. The snack she had just swallowed sprayed Mrs. Qian's face. She rubbed her nose and covered her mouth and muttered: "Who is talking about me?"
Mrs. Qian slapped her on the forehead: "Are you dirty when ghosts talk about you?!"
Qian Qiyue felt aggrieved.
…
There was no conversation all night, and early the next morning, Ayane led two young women who looked at Yansheng over.
After Tang Ning sent the person there, he saw Gu Helian leading someone in Princess Cheng's room. His eyes were black and blue, and he looked extremely haggard, but he had not forgotten the dazzling look on his face.
Except for her eyes being slightly swollen, there was nothing unusual about Princess Cheng. She did not refuse Tang Ning and Gu Helian, and took all the people they sent with her, and then led Nanny Jiang on the carriage back to Prince Cheng's Mansion.
"Uncle Gu, aren't you going?"
"What am I going to do? She looks annoyed at me."
Gu Helian snorted coldly and glanced at Tang Ning: "I heard that you are going to the Song family to move the grave. When the time comes, someone will tell me and I will go with you."
Tang Ning nodded: "Thank you, uncle."
Gu Helian nodded: "Okay, you go back, I'm leaving."
The Gu family's carriage was parked outside. After Gu Helian got into the carriage with a cold face, Mu Feng drove towards the place where they settled in Beijing. After they got out of Jiuyun Lane, Gu Helian directly raised the curtain.
"Follow Rong Yue."
Mu Feng was stunned for a moment: "Master, I'm afraid Prince Cheng's Mansion won't welcome us..."
It’s not that you are not welcome, it’s the kind of people who are afraid of getting beaten up if you go there.
Gu Helian's face was expressionless: "Nonsense, I'm not going to Prince Cheng's Mansion. I'm going to find a house nearby. As long as I can see the Prince's Mansion, move all the people I brought into the capital there."
Mu Feng said: "But I'm afraid there aren't such big empty houses nearby..."
"You won't buy it without me? If you don't have an empty house, just pay someone to move it. If a thousand taels is not enough, then ten thousand taels. If it's not enough, then one hundred thousand. The Gu family's treasury is not enough for you to buy a house?"
Mu Feng: "..."
Gu Helian said in a deep voice: "Call all the people over here, and take this guy with him. If that bitch like Xie Tianyu dares to do anything, I'll kill him."
Get Rong Yue back again!
Mu Feng looked at the gangster-like Gu Helian and was silent for a moment, thinking about whether to sway more people with Zuo Zhou. He was afraid that the family owner would go crazy and cause trouble.
When the time comes, I kidnap the princess and run away...
Will he be hunted down?
