Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 24
"Then how are you going to help me?" Chu Ning knew that he would not tell the real reason. No matter how good they are, they still have different positions. How can Xiling and Dayu really live in peace?So she didn't force him, she just asked what he wanted to say.

As soon as this was mentioned, Mu Lianzhi got excited: "This is the purpose of my spreading rumors today. I want them not to underestimate you. I want people from the General's Mansion to beg you to go back."

"Then there will be King Lao Mu, please let me know if you have any news." Chuning stood up, yawned, and was about to go back.

"Hey, do you know someone named Linglong?" Mu Lianzhi asked suddenly.

"Linglong? Wei Linglong?" Chuning asked with a thought.

"How much do you know about her?"

"You can find out about her by just asking any of the people in the imperial capital." Chu Ning said calmly. alley.

"Has she ever left the imperial capital?" Mu Lianzhi frowned. He also checked Wei Linglong's affairs. For some reason, although the two Linglongs looked different, he still felt that they should be connected.

"As far as I know, at least in the past few years, she has never left." Chu Ning glanced at Mu Lianzhi's expression and asked, "What do you want to know about her? Could it be that she fell in love with her?"

Mu Lianzhi shook his head and said vaguely: "It's just curiosity, she is also a strange woman."

Chu Ning's eyes flickered, he stopped asking, and went straight out of the room.

"Hey, when are you going to walk around the imperial capital with me?" Mu Lianzhi chased him out and asked.

Chuning waved his hand: "When this girl is free, I will naturally come to you."

Mu Lianzhi curled his lips and muttered softly, "What can you do?"

As Chu Ning walked in the night, recalling what Mu Lianzhi said just now, he faintly felt that he came for her, not Chu Ning, but "Linglong".

Just about to leave Prince Rong's mansion, Chuning thought about it, then turned around and went to Xie Ziyu's room.

At this moment, Xie Ziyu was sitting under the lamp drinking tea, his expression was indifferent, like a beautiful woman in this cold night.

Chuning pushed the door open and walked in, smiling, "Why isn't Your Highness asleep yet?"

"Madam climbed the wall and didn't come back, how can I sleep as a husband?" Xie Ziyu raised his eyes and smiled lightly.

Chuning laughed, stepped forward, and frivolously lifted Xie Ziyu's chin, teasing, "Why do I smell sour?"

The wrist was suddenly grabbed, and with a force, Chuning fell into Xie Ziyu's arms. She raised her eyes and saw a beam of light shining in those pitch-black phoenix eyes, and she was immediately attracted by that light.

"You promised him to go back to the general's mansion?" Xie Ziyu lowered his head and asked.

Chu Ning nodded: "Don't you want to marry me again? If I'm not the daughter of the general's mansion, how can your majestic King Rong marry me openly?"

"So you're doing it for me?" Xie Ziyu finally smiled.

"You knew I was doing it for you, but you asked knowingly." Chuning pointed him out.

Xie Ziyu smiled slightly: "Yes, I asked knowingly."

He lowered his head, kissed Chuning on the forehead and said, "I only know now that waiting is so exhausting."

Chu Ning knew what he was referring to, and couldn't help but smile: "You have to wait, I didn't ask you to wait, alas, it's been a long night, Your Highness should stay up alone, the little girl is going home to bed."

Chuning broke Xie Ziyu's arm around her waist, stood up yawning, and walked away gracefully.

Xie Ziyu looked at Chuning's back, feeling a little annoyed suddenly.

Chu Ning started to work in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was not at all idle. Relatively speaking, after having her, the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs would be much more leisurely.

Just finished handling a case that day, when Chuning saw that Li Rui was still in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she recalled the doubts in her heart, and stepped forward and said, "Master Li, it's getting so late, why don't you go back home?"

"Going back home is also deserted, so it's better to be lively here." As soon as Li Rui said that, Chuning regretted asking such a question. Li Rui's original partner passed away in his early years, leaving only one daughter, who is also married. Man, he is also a person who attaches great importance to love, and has never continued.

"Master Li, in fact, I have always had a question in my mind."

"Do you want to ask me why I recommend you to be the servant of the Ministry of Punishment because I am not related to you?" Li Rui glanced at her and asked.

Chuning nodded in agreement.

"Because you have courage and resourcefulness." Li Rui squinted his eyes and said, "Ordinary people can't enter the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If the timid one enters the Ministry of Criminal Justice, then the Ministry of Criminal Justice will be destroyed."

Chu Ning was taken aback. She didn't expect Li Rui to be interested in this. The courage he said should mean that she dared to fight against the emperor for the case...

"Lord Ning, I believe that you will be able to make some achievements for the emperor to see." Li Rui smiled meaningfully.

Chuning twitched the corners of his lips, expressing that he was under a lot of pressure.

When Chu Ning returned to the mansion, Uncle Zhang had already prepared dinner, and Wei Linglong was waiting for her in the living room. Seeing her return, Wei Linglong asked, "I heard that General Chu is back?"

"Well, I saw him early this morning." Chu Ning nodded, feeling a little lost. She hadn't seen him for a long time, and he was still heroic, but a little gray hair had grown on his temples.

"Recently, the rumors that King Mu intends to marry you have intensified. I'm afraid Mrs. Chu can't sit still. Now that General Chu is back, I think you will be able to return to the General's residence soon."

Chuning didn't speak. He should have known that she was driven out of the general's mansion.Maybe he doesn't care at all, she is an unfavored daughter, so it should be dispensable.

In the general's mansion here, it was a completely different scene.

"Why is the general angry? Chu Ning has a bad character. I drove her out of the general's mansion for the sake of the general's reputation." There was a broken teacup lying on the floor in the hall. It is also not good.

"That's right, Dad, what's wrong with Mother doing this? Why did you get angry as soon as you came back?" Chu Yan stood beside Madam Chu and asked a little puzzled.

"What's wrong? She is the daughter of the general's mansion for a day, and she will be the daughter of the general's mansion for the rest of her life. What kind of misbehavior? Don't you think I'm an old fool! If someone didn't tell me about this, are you going to hide it from me? Forever?!" General Chu patted the table and said, he only cared about military affairs and government affairs in the barracks, and he rarely heard about the affairs of the imperial capital. in the dark.

Mrs. Chu was a little guilty, she hung her head and said nothing.

"But it is also true that she was divorced by the Hou Mansion. Why didn't Dad think about it? Why was she divorced? Wasn't it because she was ugly! If it wasn't for her, how could the General's Mansion be disgraced?" Chu Yan saw that Mrs. Chu was not happy. Speaking, couldn't help opening the mouth.

General Chu looked at Chu Yan and sighed: "Yan'er, Ning'er's appearance is indeed flawed. Even though outsiders humiliate you, you should never have such thoughts. You are sisters and should help each other."

"What sisters? Yan'er has only one eldest sister, she died a long time ago!" Madam Chu raised her head when she heard this, glared at General Chu bitterly, took Chu Yan's hand and said, "Yan'er, let's go back house!"

General Chu looked at Mrs. Chu's angry back, and knew that although 17 years had passed, she still hadn't let go.The existence of Chuning has always been a thorn in her heart, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Chuning has been so busy working in the Ministry of Criminal Justice recently that she hasn't slept well for several days. This morning, she went to the court a little sluggishly. Got drowsy.

"I've seen His Majesty the Emperor." Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from the Golden Hall, and Chu Ning's drowsiness was scared away by the sound. She raised her head, looked at Mu Lianzhi on the Golden Hall, and squinted her eyes .

"Prince Mu also stayed in the imperial capital for some time, how can he enjoy himself?" asked the emperor.

"Naturally, His Royal Highness Rong Wang has arranged it carefully and thoughtfully. This king is almost too happy to leave. It's just that I just received a letter from my father, saying that my mother and concubine are ill, and I want this king to go back immediately."

Surprise flashed in Chuning's eyes, she didn't expect him to go back so soon.

"Before leaving, I have something to ask His Majesty the Emperor for permission." Mu Lianzhi continued.

The emperor's eyes flickered, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

"This king wants to seek justice from General Chu for one person."

As soon as Mu Lianzhi's words came out, all the ministers in the court were shocked, and they all looked at General Chu who was also a little surprised.

Chuning suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, Mu Lianzhi continued: "On the way to the imperial capital this time, I met a woman who was pure and kind, but she was kicked out of the mansion by the evil mother at home, and she was left homeless. It was only later that I found out that she was the third lady of the General's Mansion, Chu Ning. Because of her flawed appearance, she was treated harshly when she was a child. This time, she was kicked out of the General's Mansion for no reason. Those who see it will be sad, and those who see it will shed tears."

Chuning's lips twitched.

"General Chu, is there such a thing?" The emperor asked after hearing this, looking at General Chu.

"My Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. It is all the fault of this minister. This minister has been guarding the border and rarely has the energy to take care of the family. This has caused Ning'er to suffer a lot. This time, this minister came back to make Ning'er Get it back." General Chu recognized it straightforwardly.

Chuning looked at him with a complicated expression.

"So what can I do if I find the General's Mansion? The General is afraid that he will leave the imperial capital soon, right? Once the General leaves, won't Chuning's situation go back to the way it was before?"

"The lower officials will not let this happen again." General Chu said solemnly.

"General Chu has allowed Mrs. Chu to treat Chu Ning like this for more than ten years. How can you convince me that she will be treated kindly after returning to the general's residence?" Mu Lianzhi looked at General Chu with a mocking smile on his lips.

"What King Yimu saw..."

"The king has admired Miss Chu for a long time, and is willing to marry Miss Chu as the princess. I hope that Your Majesty will make it happen, so that the two countries, Qin and Jin, can be good." Mu Lianzhi suddenly bowed to the emperor and said loudly.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the emperor, Chu Ning was also very frightened.

"The marriage between the two countries is a big matter, not to mention that Miss Chu has never appeared, and King Mu suddenly brought up this matter, how can the emperor make a decision?" Xie Ziyu's phoenix eyes shrank slightly, and he spoke lightly.

"Your Highness is right. Although King Mu is the prince of Xiling, the marriage is a matter of the daughter's life, and it needs to be decided again." General Chu said in shock.

"The third prince and General Chu are right. Now that Queen Mu and Concubine Mu's body is slightly ill, it's not a good time to discuss this matter. It's better to discuss it again."

When Mu Lianzhi heard this, a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes, and he glanced at the emperor with a smile that was not a smile: "It is true that now is not a good time to discuss this matter, but there is a lesson from heaven and earth to my king's love for Miss Chu. If you can’t get what you want this time, this king will look for another opportunity to discuss this matter with the emperor.”

After the morning court, Chu Ning hurried back to the house and changed his clothes. Mu Lianzhi had sent her the news yesterday that she was going to wait for him at the Prince Rong's mansion today. She felt strange yesterday that he was leaving.

Mu Lianzhi had already returned to Prince Rong's Mansion. Chuning found his room familiarly, and frowned as soon as he entered, "In broad daylight, do you want me to come to Prince Rong's Mansion because you want me to be arrested?"

Mu Lianzhi smiled: "It's an emergency, and I was forced to do nothing. I will leave today. I can't wait for Mrs. Chu to come by herself, so I expressed my heart to the emperor today. General Chu also knows that you are with me. I'm afraid Someone will come pick you up soon."

Chuning took a step forward and looked at him with burning eyes: "How did you show your heart? You said you wanted to marry me?"

Seeing that Chu Ning looked uneasy, Mu Lianzhi quickly changed the subject, "Come here, take Miss Chu to take a bath and change clothes." After speaking, he looked at Chuning again, "Your father is coming soon, you should hurry up and get ready."

Chuning pursed her lips, and didn't continue to ask any more questions. Anyway, he was going back to Xiling, and the marriage was probably impossible, so she didn't have to worry about it.

Not long after, General Chu and Mrs. Chu came, and Xie Ziyu was also with him. He brought General Chu and his wife into Mu Lianzhi's room, and said, "Prince Mu, Miss Chu is here with you? General Chu He and Mrs. Chu came to pick her up in person."

"Of course, it's just that I'm going back to Xiling today. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of Aning in the future, so I have to say something." Mu Lianzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at Mrs. Chu, "I have already begged His Majesty the Emperor to help This king pays attention, if Aning suffers any grievances in the general's residence, this king will definitely not let it go, and if it causes disputes between the two countries, the general's residence must not be able to bear it."

As soon as Mu Lianzhi said this, Mrs. Chu's face turned pale. After all, General Chu has been in the field for a long time, so he won't be frightened by Mu Lianzhi, but his face is a bit dignified.

"Miss Chu is here." While speaking, Chu Ning had finished changing, and followed the maidservant out.

But seeing her wearing a light blue skirt, with a veil covering her face, her eyes are clear and translucent, as beautiful as stars, she walks gracefully, swaying gracefully, implying a ray of extravagance in the invisible, which makes people feel unreasonable Don't dare to take it lightly.

A flash of surprise flashed in Mu Lianzhi's eyes, he had never seen her dressed up, although he knew that her face was still covered with red spots, but this demeanor was enough to make people's hearts flutter.

Seeing Mu Lianzhi's eyes, Xie Ziyu's eyes flickered slightly.

General Chu was stunned for a moment, and the astonishment in Madam Chu's eyes could be seen at a glance. She couldn't help but think of the cowardly and deceitful girl back then. Looking at it now, it is completely different.

Her initial premonition really came true, and this person finally returned to the General's Mansion in a way she had to accept.

"I've met my father, I've met Mrs. Chu." Chu Ning walked in front of the two of them, giving him a little blessing.

"Ah Ning, General Chu and Mrs. Chu have promised me that they will treat you kindly. If you are wronged, just write to me, and I will definitely make the decision for you."

"Thank you, King Mu." Chuning said, curling the corners of his lips.

She looked at Mrs. Chu, with a mocking smile in her eyes: "Chuning is not worried about asking Madam to pick her up in person, and I will ask Madam to take care of her in the future."

Mrs. Chu's expression was unnatural, but she still responded: "Isn't it because you were a mother before, from now on, you and Yan'er will be treated equally as mothers."

After hearing this, Chuning smiled slightly: "That would be great."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Madam Chu's eyes flashed a trace of unwillingness, but when the unwillingness came into contact with Chuning's eyes that seemed to know everything, she finally seemed a little powerless.
