Hu Rui nodded, "When sending Gu Lan back, Jin Xin wanted to see if anyone from the Suiyang Mansion was hiding in the dark, so he asked Gu Lan and Hu Zi to go first, and we kept a distance from them. Guess
What's wrong?"
Sang Ye shook his head and said, "I can't believe that Second Master Shen's people haven't been frightened by Mr. and Jin Xin yet?"
Hu Rui swallowed what was in his mouth and said, "Those people seemed not to be afraid of death. As soon as Gu Lan left Yu Street, the people around Mr. Shen rushed up and tried to kidnap Gu Lan."
Sang Ye said in shock: "Abducted? These people are so lawless. They robbed people so openly in broad daylight! Have you, sir, and Jinxin taught those rotten people a lesson?"
Hu Rui looked at Mulberry Ye, raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you think?"
Zaohua laughed and said, "You don't have to guess? Those bad guys must have been beaten up by Mr. and Sister Jinxin until they cried for their fathers and mothers."
Hu Rui smiled and said, "Well, that's about it. This girl Jin Xin looks so soft and weak, but she's really capable of beating people up. Today, two people had their legs broken by her."
Zaohua said while cutting vegetables: "Jin Xin has done well, but there is no mercy to bad people. Only by beating him painfully can he have a long memory."
Ning Wei put the dishes in the pot and took over the words, "The one who needs the most care is Master Shen. Without his instructions, those boys would not beat people randomly."
"It smells so good. I came here looking for the aroma of the food. Is the meal ready? I'm so hungry." Wei Yuan entered the room and asked.
Ning Wei said with a smile: "There is one last dish, ready to serve. Uncle Wei, go and wait."
Hu Rui handed a plate of crispy pork to Wei Yuan, "Have a piece, it tastes so good, you can't stop eating it."
Wei Yuan looked around, looking for chopsticks.
Hu Rui said: "Whatever you are looking for, just get started."
Wei Yuan stretched out his hand, twisted a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth.
Hu Rui looked at him and asked: "How is it? Is it delicious? Let me tell you, eating like this is much better than eating with chopsticks and a bowl."
Wei Yuan nodded while eating, "It's really delicious." Although he always ate in a disciplined manner, he never ate like this once, but it was indeed delicious.
Zaohua turned to look at Ning Wei, "Miss, don't give Mr. chopsticks next time!"
Ning Wei looked at the two of them, shook her head and said, "Sir, don't lead Uncle Wei astray. Zaohua, prepare to serve the meal."
"Okay!" Zaohua responded, turned to Qingzhu and said, "Put the vegetables on the tray."
Qingzhu and Huiyi put the dishes on the trays one by one, and called Qiao Yi and Qiao Er to come in and serve them.
After dinner, Ning Wei, Wei Yuan and Hu Rui drank two cups of tea with Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't stay up late, so after two cups of tea, Wei Yuan sent her back to her room to rest.
Mrs. Jiang went to rest. Mrs. Qian felt very bored and went to rest early.
Wei Yuan followed Ning Wei to the study room, and the discussion lasted until the second quarter of the lunar month before stopping. "That's it for today. Next, we will do what we agreed on."
Wei Yuan nodded, "Okay, miss, please rest early."
After coming out of the study, Ning Wei turned around and headed to the backyard.
"Miss, the Crown Prince is here." Hu Rui reminded him in a low voice when he saw Shi Jingyang standing on the corridor with his hands behind his hands.
Ning Wei also saw Shi Jingyang, who was dressed in white. He was stunned for a moment, and then said to Zaohua: "Bring the tea set to the pavilion, and I will have a cup of tea with Prince Shi."
Zaohua and others bent their knees, then quickly left, went into the house, picked up the small red clay stove, tea leaves, teapots, teacups and other utensils, and brought them to the pavilion.
Ning Wei walked up to Shi Jingyang and asked, "How long has Prince Shi been here? Have you had dinner?"
Ning Wei had become accustomed to Shi Jingyang's arrival and was no longer surprised.
Shi Jingyang nodded, "After dinner, we had dinner with His Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace."
Shi Jingyang and His Highness the Crown Prince grew up together, and she knew their deep friendship.
In the previous life, when Shi Jingyang was away from Beijing, the Crown Princess would occasionally call her into the palace to talk, and it was because of the Crown Prince's advice.
Ning Wei nodded and asked, "Let's go. Come and sit over there."
The two of them walked to the pavilion one after another. Water was boiling on the small red clay stove. Ning Wei pushed the crisp beans on the table towards Shi Jingyang and said, "Try the crisp beans."
Shi Jingyang shook his head, "No, I don't like snacks."
Ning Wei didn't force herself, she leaned back and said, "Thank you for yesterday."
What happened yesterday was extremely shocking. If people from Jingzhao Mansion were allowed to enter the examination room, Ning Yu's subject would undoubtedly be abolished.
Ning Wei felt scared just thinking about it.
Shi Jingyang pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "You're welcome. By the way, this morning at the imperial court, there were a few officials who wanted to impeach Ning Yuanwai Lang.
After the emperor learned that Ning Yuanwailang had severed his relationship with his legitimate son and daughter, he was furious in the court.
The Ministry of Industry has ordered Ning Yuanwailang to suspend his duties and reflect. The matter of Miss Ning Er being the concubine of Prince Chen may change."
Ning Wei looked at Shi Jingyang in surprise, "How could the people at Yushitai know about this?"
It's only been one day, so the spread of teahouses and restaurants shouldn't be that fast.
Ning Guangyan was just a foreign minister, a fifth-rank official who was not even qualified to go to court. Even if the official at the Yushitai wanted to impeach him, he should not be so quick.
If Ning Guangyan dared to write a letter of renunciation, he was sure that the matter would not become public.
Shi Jingyang said with a smile: "Yesterday, when Qiao Yi went to the Yamen to set up a household for Yingzhe, by coincidence, he happened to meet the Crown Prince going to the Yamen for inspection.
Accompanying the prince was Mr. Qiu from Yushitai.
No, after the officials at Yushitai made a fuss, the news of Ning Yuanwailang severing relations with you brothers and sisters spread throughout the government and the public."
"Prince inspecting Jingzhao Mansion?" Ning Weiding looked at Shi Jingyang.
The prince didn't leave early or late, but he went on inspection yesterday. It was such a coincidence.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Is there Prince Shi’s handwriting in this?
Shi Jingyang was panicked by Ning Wei's stare and said truthfully: "The prince is my last resort to deal with yesterday's incident.
I was thinking that if Commander Xu had not stopped Shi Dianshi and others, or if Zhao had asked people from King Chen's group to take action, he would have taken Yingzhe away from the examination room.
We can only ask the prince to come forward and ask the prince to stop things from happening, and take the opportunity to expose Zhao's false accusation of Yingzhe, so that the world can see Zhao's face.
However, I never expected that Ning Yuanwailang would actually write a letter of renunciation.
This incident happened purely by accident."
"Thank you, Prince Shi, for everything you have done for your brother!" Ning Wei bowed and thanked him.
Shi Jingyang didn't like hearing Ning Wei's polite thanks, so he pointed to the steaming purple clay pot and reminded: "The water is ready."
Ning Wei picked up the handkerchief on the table and wrapped it around the handle, picked up the purple clay pot and poured water into the teapot.
Shi Jingyang was worried that Ning Wei was getting burned, so he reminded him: "Be careful!"
While making tea, Ning Wei said: "Yes, I know. Ning Guangyan has been suspended for self-reflection, and he may have to come to Mingyuan to cause trouble again tomorrow."
Shi Jingyang raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Yes, he is very likely to make trouble.
Ning Wei said angrily: "Why? If you say it out loud, can you take back the water that was thrown out? Do you still want to lose face?"
After saying that, Ning Wei sneered, and then said: "That's right, has he done enough to go back on his word?"
As he spoke, Ning Wei pushed the teacup in front of Shi Jingyang and reminded: "It's a little hot, let it cool down.
Ning Guangyan's behavior has always refreshed my understanding of the word 'shameless'. He is truly shameless and invincible in the world."
Shi Jingyang frowned slightly, thought for a while and said: "What he said and did before, even if he went to Baoping Lane to cause trouble, because he is Mrs. Liu's cousin, it can only be considered as your family's business.
Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite and others do not comment favorably on them.
Write a letter of severance and sever ties with your legitimate son and daughter.
This kind of thing is no longer a family scandal, it's a matter of dignity and concubine, it's a major matter.
He should wake up, this is not good for him."
Ning Wei said angrily: "It's too late to wake up now! The letter of severance was written by him himself, and the Ning clan members testified.
He has the nerve to go back on his word and is not afraid of people in the world laughing at him, and I will not let him get his wish."
After finally getting out of Ning Mansion, Ning Wei didn't want to go back.
Seeing Ning Wei grinding his teeth with hatred, Shi Jingyang comforted him and said, "Ah Wei wants to be more open-minded. Maybe Ning Yuanwailang is afraid of being laughed at and can't bear to beg the old lady. I beg you to forgive me, so I don't come."
Ning Wei smiled bitterly, "Humph, does he care about others making fun of him?"
Obviously not, Ning Wei is extremely disappointed with Ning Guangyan. "We will wait and see, we will see the result tomorrow."
Seeing Ning Wei's lonely and helpless look, Shi Jingyang felt very uncomfortable and asked: "A Wei, if Ning Yuanwailang really comes to Mingyuan to make trouble, what will you do?"
Thinking of Ning Guangyan, Ning Wei felt extremely irritable. She picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea, but was so scalded by the hot tea that she almost threw the cup away.
Shi Jingyang stood up in shock, stretched out his hand to hold Ning Wei's chin, and used the dim light of the air lamp to check Ning Wei's injuries.
"How's it going? Is it burned? You said you just reminded me to be careful and wait for the tea to cool down before drinking it. Why did you forget it? Is it burned? Is it foaming?
Does it hurt?"
Ning Wei's tongue was burnt and she stared blankly at Shi Jingyang. She was stunned by Shi Jingyang's series of desperate actions.
When Shi Jingyang saw Ning Wei looking at him stupidly, he thought she was in pain and wanted to cry but was holding back.
He quickly blew a few breaths into Ning Wei's mouth and kept comforting: "It's okay, it'll be fine in two days."
The warm breath spread on her face, and Ning Wei felt a little satisfied, a little shy, and more uncomfortable.
Ning Wei blushed, raised her hand to block Shi Jingyang's hand, and said, "It's okay, it hurt just now, but it's much better now."
Shi Jingyang stared at Ning Wei and asked, "Is everything really okay?"
Ning Wei nodded calmly, "It's really nothing. Prince Shi, please sit down."
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei and saw that her words were no different, so he sat down with confidence.
Ning Wei continued what she said before: "Ning Guangyan came to Mingyuan, and my grandmother is here. Who should I talk to?"
Ning Wei's words were filled with deep reluctance and helplessness, even a little discouraged.
Shi Jingyang asked: "Ah Wei, don't say negative words. Let's find a way together. As long as we find the crux, we can prescribe the right medicine.
If Ning Yuanwailang kneels down to beg for mercy tomorrow, will the old lady be soft-hearted and forgive him?"
Ning Wei thought for a while and shook her head. She really didn't know this.
“My grandmother passed away early in my previous life, and I didn’t experience any of these things.
Ning Guangyan is the only son of his grandmother, and it is only natural for his grandmother to forgive him.
Over at the Yamen, once the head of the household is established, can he be changed at will?"
Shi Jingyang nodded, "Household registration can be changed."
Ning Wei was a little frustrated, "If this is the case, the problem will be difficult. We finally got rid of Ning Guangyan and Zhao. But Ning Guangyan cried and made trouble and brought them back. Wouldn't it be a waste of happiness."
Shi Jingyang said: "It's so easy to become independent, how can you let him go back? Even if the old lady forgives Ning Yuanwailang, you and Yingzhe can't go back to Ning Mansion."
Ning Wei said worriedly: "If this happens, won't the world accuse me and my brother of being unfilial? I'll forget it, filial piety or unfilial piety won't affect much.
But my brother is different. He wants to join an official career, and he has a reputation of being unfilial. After his career, his career will be affected."
Shi Jingyang asked: "Then you will live back with Mrs. Qian back in Ning Mansion?"
Ning Wei raised her head and looked at Shi Jingyang, shook her head and said, "No, if I go back, I will have to face Zhao's endless calculations again. I can't go back. I have to find a way to prevent my grandmother from forgiving Ning Guangyan."
As long as Mrs. Qian does not forgive Ning Guangyan, she will not take Ning Yu and Ning Wei back to Ning Mansion. This is the simplest and most effective way.
Shi Jingyang nodded and asked: "Ah Wei, what does the old lady care about most?"
Ning Wei replied without thinking: "Brother's safety and future."
Shi Jingyang had an idea in his mind, leaned towards Ning Wei and said, "With Yingzhe's knowledge, he must have done well in this subject.
In this case, you go find Mr. Wei and tell him the whole story.
Ask Mr. Wei for help, and try to send the old lady to Baoen Temple to stay for a few days, avoid Ning Yuanwailang, and postpone the matter until Yingzhe Qiuwei is over, preferably after the results are released."
Ning Wei's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea, but right now, it's not an incense gathering, and it doesn't rely on years or festivals, so how can you excuse grandma to go to the temple?"
Shi Jingyang said: "Let Mr. Wei help, on the grounds that Mrs. Jiang went to Baoen Temple to fulfill her vows and to worship Buddha in the temple.
Mrs. Jiang has a deep friendship with the old lady, and she will definitely accompany Mrs. Jiang there. I asked Doctor Hu to go to the temple to find Master Jingkong and participate in meditation for a few days."
Ning Wei nodded repeatedly, "This is a good idea. I will go find Uncle Wei now."
With that said, Ning Wei stood up and said, "I won't drink tea with Prince Shi today. Prince Shi, walk slowly. Goodbye."
Ning Wei bowed to Shi Jingyang and said goodbye. Without waiting for Shi Jingyang's reply, she turned around and left the pavilion.
Shi Jingyang watched Ning Wei leave quickly, pursed the corners of his mouth, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
Ning Wei went to the study and asked Qiao Yi to invite Wei Yuan.
Soon, Wei Yuan hurried to the study room and asked after entering: "Miss, what happened?"
Seeing Wei Yuan's worried look, Ning Wei bowed apologetically and said, "Uncle Wei, don't be nervous, nothing serious has happened. I just have something to ask Uncle Wei for help."
After hearing Ning Wei's words, Wei Yuan felt at ease, walked to the table, sat down, and asked, "What's the matter, Miss? Please tell me."
