After a few minutes of solemn atmosphere in the living room, Lu Mo broke it.
He calmly arranged: "Lu Hua, go to the dark web and offer a reward to see if you can catch the evidence that Ning Chengxu is the illegitimate son of the royal family. Leave other matters to the legal team. I will ask the legal team to draft a plan as soon as possible. Girl, you will follow the lawyer's instructions when the time comes.
Just follow the instructions."
Zhou Xiaoqing, who had been listening carefully, said: "His identity as an illegitimate child has not been exposed for so many years. It can be seen that the royal family of Europe and Africa has blocked information and evidence very tightly, and the black network may not necessarily have it."
She used "he" to call Ning Chengxu. On the one hand, it was because Ning Chengxu was her fourth brother after all, so calling him by his first name was disrespectful, but she couldn't say it out loud when he called her fourth brother.
Lu Hua turned to look at her: "Do you have any ideas?"
Zhou Xiaoqing nodded, "Maybe I can find evidence!"
Ning Chengen originally wanted her to return to the Ning family's ancestral home, so she could go back and help Shengge look for evidence.
Although her father has passed away, his study and bedroom are still there in the ancestral house. I heard that Ning Chengen has people clean them every day and keep everything intact. Maybe some clues can be found.
Lu Hua didn't agree with it and looked at her worriedly: "You have just been recognized as a relative by the Ning family. It is too risky to do such a thing. After all, Ning Chengxu is your half-brother and sister. Even if he is an illegitimate child, he belongs to the Ning family."
If Ning Chengen knew about this, he would not let you go!"
"No, my second brother is the best person to me in the Ning family. He always says he feels he owes me more than twenty years. Even if he finds out, he won't do anything to me. Don't worry!"
...
Because there were only three days and time was tight, Zhou Xiaoqing acted quickly and told Ning Chengen that afternoon that she wanted to return to the Ning family's ancestral home.
Ning Chengen was very happy that she accepted her new identity so quickly and was willing to come back and integrate into the Ning family.
In the evening, Lu Hua helped deliver the luggage and sent Zhou Xiaoqing to Ning's house in person.
Zhou Xiaoqing inquired about it and learned that apart from the servants, there are not many owners in the ancestral home today. The eldest brother passed away like his father, and the third brother was far away from home doing business and rarely came back.
Only Mrs. Ning, her mother, who stayed at home, and her unmarried seventh sister Ning Jingxuan were at home. The second brother Ning Chengen only came back occasionally.
I learned from the housekeeper that Ning Chengen has official business with the National Bureau of Investigation recently and may not come back to rest these two nights.
Zhou Xiaoqing didn't want to miss the best opportunity, so under the leadership of the housekeeper, she explored the entire large villa at night.
"Miss Fifth, the sixth floor is a restricted area. You are absolutely not allowed to go up there at night. In addition, you can go wherever you want in the entire villa during the day."
Zhou Xiaoqing didn't understand: "Didn't you just say that the sixth floor is my mother's residence, as well as my father's study and bedroom when he was alive? If that's the case, why can't you go up there at night?"
The butler looked embarrassed and could only lower his head and said: "This is an order given by Master En. You have just come back. There are many things about the Ning family that you don't understand yet. Master En will probably tell you in person in the future. You just need to obey them now."
Just follow my grace’s orders.”
Zhou Xiaoqing stared at him for a while without saying anything.
It sounds like the Ning family's affairs are more complicated than what Ning Chengen told her before, and more complicated than what she knows so far?
The housekeeper bent slightly and made a greeting gesture, "This is the room that has been prepared for you. You can go to bed early."
"good."
Zhou Xiaoqing closed the door, sat on the bed and thought for a while.
Why are you not allowed to go to the sixth floor at night when everything is fine during the day?
There was always an ulterior feeling here, and the more she was denied entry, the more her curiosity was aroused.
At three o'clock in the morning, the whole big villa was extremely quiet, and everyone was fast asleep.
Zhou Xiaoqing opened the door softly and quietly went up the stairs to the top floor from the fourth floor where she was.
Unfortunately, the top floor is locked.
I could only look at the dark corridor through the wire door.
The cold winter wind blows from the corridor late at night, making people shiver with coldness, and adds a strange and mysterious color to the cold sixth floor.
