When the lights came on, Mrs. Zhao saw Ning Guangyan leaning on the soft couch.
Then he looked at the untouched food on the table and told his servants: "Take these away and tell the kitchen to cook some porridge."
Shao Yang bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand."
Mrs. Zhao walked to the soft couch and reached out to hold Ning Guangyan's hand, "Master..."
Ning Guangyan raised his hand and avoided Mrs. Zhao's hand.
Mrs. Zhao looked at Ning Guangyan's hands that were avoiding her, and her face was a little worried, "Master, what do you mean?"
Ning Guangyan looked up at Mrs. Zhao and asked expressionlessly: "What did I tell you in the first place?"
Seeing Ning Guangyan settling old scores, Mrs. Zhao did not dare to look at him and avoided Ning Guangyan's gaze with a guilty conscience.
He whispered: "I have told Wan Zhentian everything I have been told by the master. I had no idea that I would be in this situation."
Ning Guangyan stared at Zhao and asked, "You really don't know?"
When Mrs. Zhao saw Ning Guangyan glaring at her ferociously, fearing that Ning Guangyan would hit her, Mrs. Zhao was so frightened that she quickly raised her right hand and promised, "I swear to God, I really don't know."
Ning Guangyan stared at Zhao for a long time, then looked away and said in frustration: "I have made Lao Wan miserable this time!"
Zhao secretly glanced at Ning Guangyan and asked in a low voice: "Master, is it really serious this time? We have money and are looking for someone to take care of it. Can't we let this matter go?"
Ning Guangyan turned to look at Zhao and said angrily: "Looking for someone to deal with? Who to look for?"
Tell me, who am I looking for? How did I tell you at the beginning?
Did I tell you that it is a big trouble and if Tianyue undertakes the construction, the quality and quantity must be guaranteed? Is this what I told you?"
Mrs. Zhao shrank her body back, lowered her head and said, "Yes! That's what the master ordered."
Ning Guangyan's eyes widened, he patted the table and said, "Then tell me, how did Tianyue do it?"
Mrs. Zhao lowered her eyes and replied: "The matter is over now, it's useless for me to be angry!"
Ning Guangyan glared at Mrs. Zhao and leaned back on the couch again.
Zhao asked: "Master, are you really unable to find a way? Where is the prince? Doesn't the prince have any way?"
Ning Guangyan perked up, sat up straight, and looked at Zhao expectantly.
"Yes, there is also Prince Xiaoman. I have to trouble you to go over this matter.
Tomorrow morning, you go to the palace to find the concubine and ask the concubine to beg the prince.
As long as the prince is willing to come forward, we can escape this disaster."
After hearing Ning Guangyan's words, Mrs. Zhao relaxed her tense heart. As long as the prince is willing to come forward, the matter can be solved and it is not a big deal.
"Don't worry, sir, I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning."
"Madam, the porridge is ready!" The servant came in with the porridge.
Mrs. Zhao said: "Bring it here. I haven't eaten for a day. Are you hungry? I've made some porridge for you, so I can eat some of it. Okay?"
Ning Guangyan had expectations in her heart and suddenly felt hungry, "Okay, let Madam worry about it."
As soon as Ning Guangyan picked up the bowl, Shao Yang came in and reported: "Master, I just received the letter that Liu Jijiu hanged himself from the beam."
With a "pop" sound, the bowl in Ning Guangyan's hand fell to the table, porridge foam splashed everywhere, and the porridge on the table flowed down the table and onto Ning Guangyan's feet.
Ning Guangyan stepped back, but had no time to clean the dirt on his feet. He stared at Shao Yang and asked, "How long did it take?"
Shao Yang leaned forward and said, "I heard that it happened in the evening, and the prime minister's office didn't start announcing the funeral until the end of the year."
Ning Guangyan waved his hand and said, "Go down."
Shaoyang leaned forward and exited.
Mrs. Zhao looked at Ning Guangyan and saw that Ning Guangyan's eyes were filled with joy. She asked excitedly: "Master, Liu Jiujiu has gone. It's a good thing for us, right?"
Ning Guangyan nodded, "Well, that's a good thing! Liu Jijiu went well. Remember, we can only blame Liu Jijiu for matters related to the teaching building. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Zhao nodded repeatedly, "Understood. I will go and tell them tomorrow. Do we still need to go to the palace?"
Ning Guangyan said: "Don't go for now. If something like this happens, the prince will not be free for a moment. If we go there at this time, we will only make people uncomfortable."
Mrs. Zhao was also afraid of offending Prince Chen, so she said, "The master is right. I will go to Changbao Road right now and give instructions to the head of the family."
"Okay!" Ning Guangyan nodded in agreement, and after some more instructions, his thoughts that had been hanging around for two days finally settled down.
On the second day, Ning Wei just got up and saw Hu Rui and Ruo Qing coming in carrying a coral tree half as tall as a man.
Ning Wei stared at the fiery red coral tree and asked in confusion: "Where did you two get this treasure?"
Hu Rui bent down and put down the coral tree, stood up and said, "Qiao Fei said that the prince gave it to me, and he asked me to use it to add makeup to Miss Jiang."
Ning Wei stepped forward and looked at the coral tree. It was bright red, dazzling and extremely festive. It was perfect for adding makeup.
She just mentioned it casually yesterday, but she didn't expect Shi Jingyang to remember it in his heart and prepare a gift for her.
Ning Wei was very moved by Shi Jingyang's thoughtfulness.
The jujube flowers and mulberry leaves stood around the coral tree for a long time, praising the prince for his good taste.
Ning Wei said to Hu Rui: "Sir, wrap up the coral tree and load it into the car. We will go to Jiang Mansion later."
Hu Rui bowed down and took Ruo Qing and the others to work.
Ning Wei washed up and went to the front yard to have breakfast with Old Man Qian.
Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Jiang thought that Ning Wei didn't know about it. After breakfast, they left Ning Wei behind and told her about the relationship between the Wei, Jiang and Shi families, and also the origin of the engagement.
Wei Yuan joked: "Ah Wei, you can no longer call me Uncle Wei from now on, you have to call me Brother Wei."
Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "A Yuan is Qing'an's cousin. A Wei and Qing An are married, so she has to follow Qing An to call A Yuan's cousin."
Mrs. Qian took the words and said: "It's just a title. No matter how you call it, A-Yuan is worthy of it. As for changing your name, it won't be too late to change it after A-Wei and Qing'an's marriage is finalized."
After the family sat together and chatted for a while, Ning Wei said to Mrs. Qian: "Zhangzhu's wedding is coming in a blink of an eye. We haven't gone to add makeup yet. Wei'er wants to go over today to add makeup."
Mrs. Qian nodded and said, "That's right." After saying that, Mrs. Qian turned to Yue Niang and told Yue Niang, "Take two of you to get my pair of blue and white Ruyi dragon-patterned plum vases."
Ning Wei hurriedly said: "Grandma, no need, Wei'er has already prepared a makeup gift."
Mrs. Qian said: "Zhangzhu treats you like a brother and sister, so let's add another one. Go and get it quickly."
After saying that, Mrs. Qian turned to urge Yue Niang.
Yue Niang bent her knees in response, bowed and walked out.
After Yue Niang left, Mrs. Qian said to Ning Wei: "The pair of blue and white plum vases with Ruyi dragon pattern were given by your aunt to your grandmother when she got married, and she has always kept them.
Zhangzhu's affection for you is comparable to how your great-aunt treated me. I took this vase to add makeup to Zhangzhu. I wish Zhangzhu and the King of Jin will have a happy marriage for hundreds of years."
