On the way back home, Ye Bingyu looked at the beautifully packaged beauty cream and asked uneasily: "Xinye, this beauty cream is not cheap, a box costs fifty taels of silver."
Yang Xin Ye was lowering her head to smell the beauty cream. Without raising her head, she replied casually: "How can the things Sister He sent me be cheap? This smells very good, Ayu, smell it."
Yang Xinye handed the beauty cream under Ye Bingyu's nose.
Ye Bingyu took a sniff and nodded: "Well, the fragrance is indeed very good, very fresh, very elegant, and not pungent at all."
Yang Xinye smelled it again, closed the lid with satisfaction, then carefully put the beauty cream bottle into the box, and finally held the box in his arms for a while before holding the box in his arms.
Ye Bingyu tried to ask: "We have collected Sister He's things, do we want any gift in return?"
Yang Xinye smiled and said: "No need, Sister He doesn't lack anything, and the things she uses are very exquisite. She doesn't like similar things."
Ye Bingyu wanted to say something, but Yang Xinye patted her hand and said before her: "I understand what you want to say.
Ayu, you don't need to take this matter to your heart.
Let me tell you, Sister He is very generous, and she has a lot of money.
In the future, if you interact with her more, you will understand."
On the other side, Ning He returned to the house and went directly to Lingyun Garden.
When Mrs. Zhao saw that she had come back early, her heart sank because she had not seen Miss Yang San.
Asked: "He'er, why did you come back so early? Didn't you see Miss Yang San?"
Ning He smiled and said comfortingly: "Mom, don't worry.
My daughter met Xin Ye, and besides Xin Ye, my daughter also met Miss Ye, the daughter of Ye Shaoqing of Dali Temple."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao's sinking face was immediately filled with a smile. She looked at Ning He with bright eyes and asked, "Liu Qiaomei's daughter?"
Ning He looked at Mrs. Zhao and asked in surprise: "Do you know Mrs. Liu?"
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "I know her, but she doesn't know me. However, she knows your father."
Ning He was even more surprised and asked: "Mrs. Liu knows Dad?"
Mrs. Zhao nodded and said, "Mrs. Liu, speaking of which, she has some connections with our family."
Ning He asked curiously: "Is it with our family? Why haven't I heard grandma mention it before?"
Mrs. Zhao smiled dryly and said, "It's not that I didn't mention it before, it was your grandmother who didn't allow it. In fact, when these relationships are combined, a lot of things can be done."
"Grandma won't let me? Does this Mrs. Liu have a problem with her grandmother?" Ning He became even more confused.
Mrs. Zhao said: "Do you know the Xu Mansion in Baoping Lane?"
Ning He nodded and said, "I know, isn't it the home of my grandma's cousin-in-law?"
Mrs. Xiao Zhao said: "Well, your cousin in Baoping Lane is called Liu Qiao'an, and the Mrs. Liu who lives in Ye Shaoqing's house in Dali Temple is called Liu Qiaomei. Their relationship is just like your relationship with Ning Wei."
"Oh, I see!"
Mrs. Xiao Zhao continued: "I didn't know beforehand that your father would complain when he came back from Baoping Lane that day.
Telling how the Liu Qiaoan brothers and sisters were abused by their stepmother, your father and your grandmother went to the Liu family to seek justice for their brothers and sisters, and also brought the Liu Qiaoan brothers and sisters to live in the Ning Mansion."
Ning He suddenly realized, thinking of the way Liu Qiaomei looked at her in front of the Yang Mansion, "Let me tell you, Mrs. Liu looked at me strangely, it turns out we are enemies."
Mrs. Zhao quickly corrected her: "Enemies don't count, it's just old things.
It's just that this person is hard to tell. Back then, your father always defended Liu Qiao'an, but now Liu Qiao'an not only doesn't remember his kindness, but also lets his servants beat your father until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen.
What an ungrateful thing.
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. What about the thing I asked you to inquire about? How about it? Will your grandmother and others go to the banquet? "
Ning He nodded and said: "I will go. Tomorrow, the disciples of Grand Scholar Yang will come forward one by one to congratulate Mrs. Qin on her birthday. Xinye said that she saw the second brother's name on the list."
Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I understand. You've worked hard too. Go back and have a rest."
Ning He thought about going to the kitchen to ask about pastry recipes, so he stood up and left.
After Ning He left, Mrs. Zhao asked Nanny Qin to deliver the letter to Changbao Road.
When Nanny Qin was about to go out, Mrs. Xiao Zhao warned: "Please help me tell Wanda, the head of the family, that only those two little bitches can be touched, and the old woman cannot be touched. Do you understand?"
Aunt Qin bent her knees and responded: "Yes, I have written it down."
Mrs. Zhao waved her hand and said, "Go."
In the study room of Xu Mansion and Yifeng Garden in Baoping Lane, Hu Rui said to Ning Wei: "The prince is already investigating the matter of the Lu family in Xiu Lane.
According to Daliang's law, selling counterfeit medicines is punishable by severe punishment. The drug store owner should be well aware of this.
The law clearly prohibits it, but Yiyuan Pharmacy and even two other pharmacies still have the audacity to do it, and the things involved behind it are not trivial."
Ning Wei fell into deep thought, and after a moment, asked: "Did Prince Shi say anything? How long will it take for you to hear from him?"
Hu Rui replied: "This matter involves a murder case. If it is really the cause of fake medicine, there will be many people involved. Therefore, you need to be cautious when investigating. You can only investigate secretly, otherwise you will alert the snake."
Ning Wei understood what Hu Rui meant, nodded, picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip of tea.
Seeing that she was silent, Hu Rui thought she was impatient and said with relief: "The prince is already investigating, and I believe there will be news soon."
Ning Wei put down the tea cup, leaned back, found a comfortable position for herself, and then said quietly: "I feel relieved that Prince Shi is doing things. Sir, tell me, are those two people still in the capital?"
Hu Rui said: "Their mission failed that day, which was extremely detrimental to their future transactions. Therefore, these two people should still be in the capital."
Ning Wei leaned back on her chair, looking at the front left, without saying anything, thinking about how to break the current situation?
Hu Rui held the tea cup in his hand and took a sip of tea, and said: "Many days have passed, and those two people have not appeared.
I mean, let's wait for two more days to see if there will be any movement from the other party.
Therefore, it would be better for the young lady not to attend the Yang Mansion’s banquet tomorrow.”
Ning Wei looked back at Hu Rui and said, "I have an intuition that if I don't move, those two people won't show up."
Hu Rui looked at Ning Wei and asked, "What do you mean, Miss? Is Miss going to a banquet tomorrow?"
Ning Wei nodded, "How about it? Is it okay?"
"It's a good idea. You can give it a try, but you have to make arrangements in advance." Before Hu Rui could speak, Shi Jingyang's voice sounded at the door.
Ning Wei looked up and saw Shi Jingyang walking towards the house, and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
When Hu Rui saw Shi Jingyang coming, he stepped back knowingly.
Ning Wei asked: "Why is Prince Shi here today?"
Shi Jingyang walked to the desk and sat down, and said: "I have thought of the same thing as you. These two days, those two people have no chance to make a move, and they will definitely wait for the opportunity to make another move.
Tomorrow is a good opportunity, and they will never let it go. Therefore, I came over to discuss countermeasures with you, and take advantage of this opportunity to deal with these two people."
With that said, Shi Jingyang sat down opposite Ning Wei and said politely: "Pour me a cup of tea. It's too hot and I'm very thirsty."
Ning Wei quickly took out a clean cup, picked up the teapot, poured a full cup of tea and handed it over.
"Prince Shi, please have tea."
Shi Jingyang picked up the tea cup and drank all the tea in one breath.
Ning Wei waited for Shi Jingyang to put down the cup and asked, "Do you want more?"
Shi Jingyang shook his head, "No, thank you, sit down."
Ning Wei sat down as he was told, looked at Shi Jingyang and asked, "What should I do next?"
Shi Jingyang raised his hand and motioned for Ning Wei to come closer.
Ning Wei understood and leaned forward.
Shi Jingyang also leaned forward, leaned into Ning Wei's ear, and whispered to Ning Wei.
After hearing this, Ning Wei looked up at Shi Jingyang and asked, "Is this okay? My grandmother and brother will be very worried if they find out. I don't want my brother to worry."
At the moment, what Ning Wei cares about most is Ning Yu.
In more than ten days, autumn will begin, and she doesn't want her brother to be distracted by these things.
Shi Jingyang met Ning Wei's gaze and said, "Don't worry about this, I will make arrangements for Yingzhe and Mrs. Qian here.
Tomorrow, at the banquet at the Yang Mansion, there will be a scene where Mr.'s disciples come forward to congratulate him one by one, and Yingzhe is among them.
Therefore, Yingzhe is going to Yang Mansion early tomorrow morning. Then I will bring someone to pick him up in person.
Therefore, you don’t have to worry about Yingzhe’s safety.
As for Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Zhao probably won’t attack her."
If something happens to Mrs. Qian, it will affect not only Ning Yu, Ning Wei, but also Ningyang, Ninghe, and Ninglei. Of course, Ning Guangyan and Zhao will be affected the most.
Ning Wei thought about Zhao's past and said uneasily: "That person has no lower limit for what he does and is very hard-hearted. You can't have any illusions about her. Grandma, you have to be careful as well."
Zhao refused to let her grandmother die, what if her grandmother was injured?
Shi Jingyang felt that Ning Wei was a little worried.
In his opinion, Mrs. Qian's accident would not be of any benefit to the Zhao family.
There is no need for Mrs. Zhao to attack Mrs. Qian.
Of course, Shi Jingyang kept his thoughts in his heart and did not tell Ning Wei.
"Okay, Mrs. Qian is here. I will send a few people to follow you secretly tomorrow."
Ning Wei leaned towards Shi Jingyang and said: "Okay, everything will follow Shi Shizi's arrangements. Thank you Shi Shizi! I... don't know how to thank you."
In the previous life, she was his wife, and it was only natural that he protect her.
Therefore, Shi Jingyang was unwilling to listen to Ning Wei's words of thanks and quickly changed the subject: "Let's settle this matter first. Next, I will tell you about the Lu family in Xiu Lane."
When it came to business, Ning Wei straightened her back and looked at Shi Jingyang expectantly, "How is it? Is there any progress?"
Shi Jingyang nodded, "Yes, there is progress."
Shi Jingyang reached out to pick up the tea cup and saw that the cup was empty.
Ning Wei quickly stood up and poured tea for Shi Jingyang, then put the teapot down and said, "Shizi Shizi, wait a minute."
After saying that, Ning Wei walked quickly to the door and whispered to Zaohua: "Bring me a pot of melon slices."
Zaohua bent her knees and responded: "Okay, wait a moment, miss. I have just boiled the water and will bring it over right away."
After saying that, Zaohua turned around to make tea, and after a while, a pot of melon slices came over.
Ning Wei took the tea, turned around and entered the room. While pouring the tea, she asked, "How is the Lu family? Will they file a lawsuit again?"
Shi Jingyang raised his head and looked at Ning Wei. He was curious about what happened to the Lu family in the last life.
So he asked: "What happened to the Lu family in the last life?"
After Ning Wei heard Shi Jingyang's words, her hands shook in fright and she almost threw the pot in her hand.
His eyes stared blankly at Shi Jingyang, unable to recover for a long time.
Shi Jingyang looked at the stunned Ning Wei, fearing that the hot water would burn her, he quickly took the teapot from her hand and said softly: "I scared you! I'm sorry, I thought you had thought of it."
He thought she had thought of all the things he had done these days.
Ning Wei came back to her senses, looked up at Shi Jingyang, met Shi Jingyang's gaze, and quickly avoided it, feeling uneasy and clenching her hands tightly together.
After being back for so long, she thought about many possibilities, but she never thought that Shi Jingyang would be reborn.
Shi Jingyang lowered his eyes and saw Ning Wei's panicked look. He blamed himself a little and was upset that he shouldn't have mentioned this suddenly.
Wen Yan said: "Sit down first. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
Ning Wei obeyed and sat down on the chair before.
As soon as he sat down, he thought that Shi Jingyang wanted to drink tea, so he quickly stood up and poured tea for Shi Jingyang.
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei's trembling hands and said, "Sit down, I'll do it."
How could Ning Wei let him come? He said solemnly: "Shizi, please sit down and let... the daughter of the people come."
Seeing that Ning Wei was so nervous that she even used honorifics, Shi Jingyang felt even more guilty. He picked up the teapot before Ning Wei, first poured her tea, and then poured himself a cup.
"sit down!"
Ning Wei saw that the tea was poured and replied: "Okay!"
The two sat down in their respective seats, no one spoke, and the room was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.
Ning Wei felt embarrassed and said: "You..."
"you……"
They both spoke at the same time.
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei and said, "Speak first."
Ning Wei looked up at Shi Jingyang and saw that he was smiling and his eyes were encouraging, so he didn't feel a little distracted.
In his memory, Shi Jingyang always had a dull expression...
"What's wrong?" Shi Jingyang asked when he saw Ning Wei looking at him in a daze.
Ning Wei came back to her senses, looked away awkwardly, looked down at her hands, and asked: "When did you know that the civilian girl was back?
Shi Jingyang could see Ning Wei's fear of him and couldn't help but frown. Did he make her feel scared?
In his last life, although he often lived in the military camp, when he returned to the house and faced her, he never lost his temper at her.
Of course, the number of times he has returned home is very limited. This incident still makes him feel guilty.
Shi Jingyang said: "I am not a grandson of the emperor, and your family is also a family of officials, so there is no need to call yourself a daughter of the people. Moreover, we have memories of two lives, so we can be regarded as... acquaintances."
Shi Jingyang wanted to say that he was a destined person, but the words came to his lips. But he was worried that Ning Wei would feel uncomfortable after hearing this and change the destined person to a mature person.
Sure enough, after listening to his words, Ning Wei relaxed a lot, raised her head and smiled at him, "I'm sorry, I was so shocked just now. So what..."
Having said this, Ning Wei paused for a moment, thinking about what to say next.
Shi Jingyang wanted to make the atmosphere more relaxed and took over the conversation with a smile: "I understand, you didn't expect that I would be reborn just like you."
