Ning Wei tried hard to suppress the shock in her heart and said, "I didn't expect how you knew I was back?"
Shi Jingyang took a sip of tea and said: "That day, Yingzhe and I were playing chess on Yangshan Mountain in Ning Mansion. I saw Zhao Yongqing going to the back garden of Ning Mansion, but you avoided it with your maid."
Ning Wei looked at Shi Jingyang in astonishment, "Did you come back that day too? I mean, the day you came back was also May 25th?"
Shi Jingyang nodded, "Well, when I open my eyes, I go back to May 25, the 20th year of Yongping."
It has been almost two months since he came back, and he still feels like he is in a dream.
Shi Jingyang paused slightly, then continued: "That day, I went to Ning Mansion and played chess with Yingzhe on Yangshan Mountain.
Ask Qingshan to guard the entrance of the corridor in Ningfu Garden, and ask him to remind you to choose another way to Mrs. Qian's yard.
As a result, you escaped on your own. I initially concluded that you are back too.
Furthermore, that night, Lu Er and I had a small gathering at Yue Ke Lai and saw Yingzhe going to Guangmingtang.
When I learned that Yingzhe took the food to Dr. Hu for identification, I became even more sure of my conclusion."
After listening to Shi Jingyang's words, the turmoil in Ning Wei's heart gradually subsided, and her rationality returned little by little.
Soon, Ning Wei sorted out two realities. One of them was that Shi Jingyang was reborn like her.
Secondly, her grandmother went to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion to cancel the engagement, and Shi Jingyang happily accepted it. This meant that, like her, Shi Jingyang did not want any more entanglements between them.
Thinking of this, Ning Wei immediately felt relieved. She felt relieved and a little bit lucky at the same time.
Fortunately, I had the self-awareness to let my grandmother go to the Hou Mansion to cancel the engagement.
Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to face Shi Jingyang when they meet today!
Shi Jingyang stared at Ning Wei. In just a moment, her face changed from shock to calmness, and then from calmness to happiness. There was still a little bit of freedom and ease in the happiness.
What is she thankful for? Glad that he is also reborn?
Shi Jingyang asked: "What are you thinking about? I'm so fascinated by it!"
Ning Wei came back to her senses and smiled at Shi Jingyang, "It's nothing..."
Ning Wei suddenly thought of something, looked up at Shi Jingyang, and asked: "By the way, how did the prince get reborn?"
After hearing Ning Wei's question, Shi Jingyang's face became solemn and he said: "I went into the palace to meet the Holy Empress and returned home. I went to the backyard to pay my respects to my mother, and I happened to meet you throwing yourself into the lake..."
When Ning Wei heard this, she interrupted Shi Jingyang's words, "What did you throw into the lake? Did the prince see me throwing into the lake? I was pushed into the lake, okay?"
Shi Jingyang's brows knitted and he asked, "Are you sure you didn't throw yourself into the lake, but were pushed down?"
Ning Wei met Shi Jingyang's gaze and nodded firmly, "Of course! Good luck, what lake should I throw into?"
Shi Jingyang narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched his teeth. Sure enough, things were more complicated than he thought.
Seeing that he was silent, Ning Wei asked: "How did you come back again? Did you also fall into the lake?"
Shi Jingyang lowered his gaze to Ning Wei and nodded, "Well, I saw you fell into the lake, so I jumped down to save you in desperation. I didn't want a few water ghosts to grab your ankles and drag them down... When I woke up,
It’s already this life.”
Ning Wei's eyes widened in shock, "Someone grabbed your ankle? Who ordered these people? Also, how did you know the person in the lake was me?"
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei with deep eyes. He didn't expect her to react so quickly.
Shi Jingyang replied: "That day, when I just walked to the lake, I heard someone shouting that the Crown Prince's wife had fallen into the lake. Then I saw someone splashing in the lake, so I jumped in without thinking much."
After speaking, Shi Jingyang asked: "Where is Hu Rui? Why isn't she with you?"
This is something Shi Jingyang has never thought about. He once ordered Hu Rui to follow Ning Wei and protect Ning Wei.
Ning Wei said: "A few days before your class returned to the capital, Mrs. Hou had just returned to the capital.
That day, Mrs. Zhao came to the mansion to visit Mrs. Hou. Mrs. Hou received Mrs. Zhao in the parlor next to the flower hall, and I took Hu Rui to the parlor to accompany her.
During this period, Mrs. Hou asked Zhao to have lunch, and Zhao agreed. I asked Hu Rui to go to the kitchen and take a look.
Not long after Hu Rui left, Mrs. Zhao said some unpleasant words. I didn’t want to stay in the living room any longer, so I found an excuse to leave. I walked to the lake, but ended up falling into someone else’s trap.”
Shi Jingyang said: "The other party must have planned all this for a long time."
"Maybe." Ning Wei responded calmly. The matter is now here, what's the use of thinking about it anymore?
Shi Jingyang didn't know what Ning Wei was thinking, so he continued: "I pushed you into the lake and killed me. They had planned it for a long time, and they succeeded."
Thinking about the ending of that life, Shi Jingyang's heart was filled with panic.
Ning Wei looked at the lonely Shi Jingyang and said guiltily: "I have caused you trouble."
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. If you want to be implicated, I am the one implicating you. Don't blame yourself."
Ning Wei raised her head and looked at Shi Jingyang.
Seeing her confusion, Shi Jingyang continued to explain: "There is a party struggle behind this matter, and the water is deep."
Ning Wei understood, it turned out to be like this, could he be any more stupid? He died so confused.
Ning Wei asked: "Is there Zhao's handwriting here?"
Shi Jingyang didn't nod or shake his head, "I don't know yet. Even if there is, Zhao is just a chess piece."
Ning Wei nodded. When it comes to party struggles, Zhao can really only be regarded as a small chess piece. What the other party wants is the country and the country.
When Shi Jingyang saw that Ning Wei was silent, he just said that he had scared her, and he comforted her in a low voice: "Don't worry, since God has given me a chance to live again, I will not let tragedy happen again. I will definitely protect you in this life.
"
Ning Wei looked at Shi Jingyang, smiled bitterly, and said: "I am as small as dust. The only thing in this world that hinders Zhao's eyes is that the prince only needs to help me solve the problem of Shuangyang in Lingnan. I can do the rest myself."
Shi Jingyang said: "After solving the problem of Shuangyang in Lingnan, if Zhao calls on Shuangyang in Beijing, what about Shuangyang in Youzhou? Can you solve it yourself?"
Ning Wei was left speechless by Shi Jingyang's question, which she did not expect.
But she also knew that Shi Jingyang was telling the truth. Zhao had a lot of money. If she could pay for a murderer once, she could do it a second time.
Ning Wei didn't expect Zhao's conscience to find out, and she would be merciful to their brother and sister.
Shi Jingyang said: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you!"
Ning Wei didn't want to owe Shi Jingyang any favors, nor did she want to get too close to him.
But in the current situation, she is as weak as an ant. Facing Zhao, she is like flesh and blood, and Zhao is like a knife.
The weak have no choice. What she has to do is to be aware of the current situation and hold on to the great Buddha Shi Jingyang.
Ning Wei leaned towards Shi Jingyang and said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. Ning Wei will remember His kindness in his heart.
In the future, if the prince is able to use Ning Wei in any way, Ning Wei will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Shi Jingyang didn't need her to repay any favor, so he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll note it down. Let's arrange tomorrow's schedule first."
Ning Wei said: "I definitely can't leave tonight.
Don't tell me that I have nowhere to go. Even if I have a place to go, my reputation will be ruined if word spreads that I don't come home at night."
Shi Jingyang thought for a while and said, "I was wrong.
That way, when I come to pick up Yingzhe tomorrow morning, you and Yingzhe will leave together.
From Baoping Lane to Yang Mansion, you have to pass by Sanpinxuan. You go to Sanpinxuan to rest. At the end of Chen, Qingsong and Qingyun will escort you from Sanpinxuan to Yangmansion.
Sanpinxuan is only about seventy feet away from the Yang Mansion. Xu Chaoyang and Ran Wuyang are involved in a murder case, so they shouldn't dare to attack here."
Ning Wei thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay! Everything will follow the arrangements of the prince."
Seeing Ning Wei agree, Shi Jingyang said, "Then it's settled."
Ning Wei poured another cup of tea for Shi Jingyang and asked, "Where do you think they will start?"
Shi Jingyang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said: "From Baoping Lane to Yang Mansion, there are mostly bustling and lively streets.
Only the section between Baoping Lane and Suijin Street, and the section from Suijin Street to Wujia'ao.
These two sections of road are close to the Penal Department Prison. There are no houses and no trees planted on the roadside. There are not many people coming and going here, so it is very possible for the two of them to do something here."
Ning Wei then asked: "Master, do you think the other party will take action when we go? Or do you think we will do it when we return?"
Shi Jingyang said, "It's all possible. Don't worry, I've made several plans. As long as they take action tomorrow, there will be no return for him."
Ning Wei nodded, "Okay, thank you, Prince!"
Shi Jingyang stood up and said, "Sir asked me to inform Yingzhe about the process of congratulating Yingzhe at tomorrow's birthday banquet. I will stay soon."
Ning Wei stood up and said, "Okay, I'll see the prince off."
Shi Jingyang said: "I have to climb over the wall to get out first, and then enter through the front yard. So, no need to send him away!"
Ning Wei smiled slyly and said crisply: "Then I will send the prince to the wall."
Shi Jingyang had never seen Ning Wei look so playful and couldn't help but take another look at her.
Ning Wei met Shi Jingyang's probing gaze and hurriedly avoided it.
Shi Jingyang caught Ning Wei's movements in his eyes and involuntarily pursed his lips, "Okay."
"Miss, the second master is coming this way." Zaohua hurriedly came in and reported.
Ning Wei turned pale with fright after hearing this, and hurriedly pushed Shi Jingyang out, "Your Majesty, please leave quickly."
Shi Jingyang was pushed forward by Ning Wei and asked: "A Wei, are you sure you want me to go out now?"
Ning Wei said: "Leave quickly, don't let brother see you."
Zaohua was stunned by Ning Wei's actions. After hearing Shi Jingyang's words, she came back to her senses and said quickly: "Miss, there's no rush.
When the servant saw the second master, the second master had already entered the courtyard. By now, he should have entered our courtyard."
Ning Wei was so anxious that she muttered: "What should we do?"
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei with a smile and said, "How about I confess to Yingzhe?"
"What are you confessing? Stop talking nonsense and let me think about it." Ning Wei quickly stopped her.
Ning Wei turned around and pushed Shi Jingyang to the next door. As he walked, he said: "Master, I have wronged you today. You go to the house to rest first, and then you leave after your brother leaves, okay?"
"
Shi Jingyang lowered his eyes and looked at Ning Wei's slender little hand pushing him, turned around and said: "It's okay, I'm not wronged, don't worry, if Yingzhe finds out, I will confess to him."
Ning Wei whispered: "Master, please don't talk nonsense. What happened between us is too mysterious and cannot be explained clearly. Even if you explain it clearly, my brother will not believe it."
Who believes in such a thing as rebirth?
Ning Wei pushed Shi Jingyang into the boudoir, pushed him to the table, made him sit down, and said flatteringly: "Master, you sit here for a while, I have wronged you! Thank you!"
Seeing that she was really anxious, Shi Jingyang said with relief, "It's okay with me, don't worry.
I will listen to you and sit here obediently until Yingzhe leaves before leaving."
Ning Wei nodded and walked out and said: "Thank you, there is tea in the pot. If the prince is thirsty, you can pour some water yourself. If you are bored, there are books on the table. You can read whatever you want."
Shi Jingyang looked at the door that Ning Wei had casually closed, sighed slightly, and pursed his lips again.
Unexpectedly, people who are usually so quiet that their presence is not felt can also be anxious sometimes.
Shi Jingyang looked around, thought about it, and shook his head helplessly.
Regardless of his past life or this life, he never thought that one day he would hide in the girl's boudoir because he wanted to avoid people.
The layout of Ning Wei's house is very simple, except for a canopy bed, a dressing table, a chest of drawers, and the square table next to her.
The house is kept clean, tidy and spotless.
There were several books on the desk, and Shi Jingyang flipped through them casually.
Ning Wei returned to the outside, her heart still beating wildly.
Ning Yu entered the room and saw Ning Wei's face flushed, and asked: "A Wei, what's wrong with you? Are you infected with the cold?"
Ning Wei quickly shook her head in denial, "No, no, it's just that it's hot and the room is a little stuffy. Why are you here? You're not using crutches today? Can you use your feet?"
Ning Wei was afraid that Ning Yu would continue to ask questions, so she quickly changed the topic.
Ning Yu did not doubt that he was there, nodded and said, "The doctor came to see me this morning and said that he is recovering well and that he can walk without crutches in the future."
Ning Wei looked around Ning Yu, asked Ning Yu to take a few steps on the spot, and then said: "Congratulations, brother!"
She was really happy for Ning Yu.
Ning Yu smiled at Ning Wei and said, "I came here today to ask Ah Wei about the banquet at Mr. Ming'er's house. If Ah Wei doesn't want to see those people, she doesn't have to go to the banquet tomorrow.
When the time comes, I will just apologize to my wife."
Ning Wei has big plans, how could she not?
Ning Wei shook her head, "Old Madam Qin treats Wei'er very well on weekdays. Tomorrow is a good day for the old lady. It would be rude for Wei'er not to go and congratulate her.
Wei'er has already decided, brother, there is no need to say more."
Ning Yu saw that Ning Wei had made up her mind and didn't say anything more.
He only warned: "Then Ah Wei must stay close to your husband tomorrow and don't be left alone.
By the way, bring the date flowers and mulberry leaves with you tomorrow. If you have more people, you will have more pairs of eyes. Don’t be too troublesome.
You have to follow your lady closely tomorrow. Do you understand?"
After Ning Yu finished telling Ning Wei, he turned to tell Zaohua.
Zaohua bent her knees and responded: "Yes, I will take the Second Master's advice to heart."
Ning Wei smiled and said with relief: "Brother, I was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.
Mrs. Zhao is a face-conscious person. At the banquet tomorrow, in full view of everyone, how could Mrs. Zhao do anything that would harm her reputation?"
