The second time she sent an invitation, Mrs. Ning had to come.
But for the third time, even if she didn't need to send an invitation, Mrs. Ning still had to come.
Mrs. Nangong could imagine that the entire imperial capital was talking about Su Luo's unprecedented low score of 20. The Dragon and Phoenix Clan was indeed a bit embarrassed this time.
And Mrs. Ning will not miss this opportunity.
Ten days later.
The swordsmanship test begins.
Sure enough, as Mrs. Nangong expected, Mrs. Ning really came uninvited. Not only did she come by herself, but she also invited a strange lady to come.
Judging from the respectful manner she showed to that lady, one could tell that the other lady's status was not low.
Su Luo didn't know the serious-looking lady, but she knew Mrs. Nangong.
In addition to the royal family, the powerful families in the imperial capital are also divided into two major camps.
The two camps are the ancient nobles and the emerging nobles.
The ancient nobility were the four super hidden families headed by the Nangong family, the Su family, the Ning family, and the Leng family, followed by the eight powerful families.
Emerging nobles are families that were specially supported after the new emperor came to the throne. Although these families have no ancient heritage, they all hold important positions in the court, and their family strength is not low, so they develop very quickly, and are vaguely similar to the ancient ones.
The power of aristocrats to contend.
And His Majesty, the Emperor's scheming king, wants these two forces to check and balance each other. Only in this way can he sit back and relax.
Under normal circumstances, the ancient nobles interact with the ancient nobles, and the emerging nobles interact with the emerging nobles, especially the Nangong family headed by the ancient nobles.
But now, Mrs. Ning not only came by herself, but also brought Princess Jingbei with her.
By the way, when did she have such a good relationship with Princess Jingbei, one of the emerging forces?
Everyone had already arrived at the door, so naturally they couldn't turn them away. Mrs. Nangong could only welcome them in coldly.
And they arrived just in time, Mrs. Nangong was sending Su Luo off.
Su Luo smiled faintly at Mrs. Nangong: "Madam, there is no need to worry. You can ridicule Mrs. Ning as much as you want today. I will support you."
Mrs. Nangong, who was originally frowning, was suddenly amused by Su Luo: "You are not allowed to come back with another 20 points."
Su Luo immediately laughed: "How can that be possible? It must be one hundred and twenty points."
"You girl." Mrs. Nangong was amused by Su Luo.
Just as they were joking with each other, Mrs. Ning helped Princess Jingbei in, followed by a group of quite large ladies.
Mrs. Nangong frowned slightly.
Mrs. Ning was the first to break the silence: "Sister, we came uninvited, you won't drive us away, right?"
Mrs. Nangong snorted coldly in her heart, but she glanced at Mrs. Ning lightly: "What do you think?"
Mrs. Ning laughed: "Sister is so hospitable, why would you drive us away? When we were going out, we happened to meet Princess Jingbei. No, we won't get up. By the way, Miss Su is about to go out, right?"
Su Luo smiled faintly.
Mrs. Ning said to herself: "This time, we have made a special trip to watch your assessment. Please don't come back with another twenty points this time, otherwise you will really make others laugh, hahaha——"
Who can't hear such an obvious sarcasm?
Mrs. Nangong was about to have a seizure on the spot, but Su Luo took Mrs. Nangong's hand and whispered a few words in her ear.
