Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 25
But in eight months, she returned to the General's Mansion again, but it is not what it used to be. Looking at the Orchid Fragrance Garden specially arranged for her by Mrs. Chu, Chuning smiled mockingly. Although this garden is not as good as Chu Yan's garden is much better than the one she used to live in.

"If you still need anything, just tell me." Mrs. Chu followed behind Chuning and said.

Chu Ning turned around and looked at Madam Chu. Madam Chu's eyes clearly contained reluctance, but she still forced herself to be kind to her. Chu Ning could probably guess why she changed her attitude. In the final analysis, it was for General Chu, but, Now that Mrs. Chu knows that she has changed her attitude for the sake of her husband's future, why couldn't she be less harsh on her before?
"Madam has worked hard, I know Madam doesn't want to see me, and I don't want to see Madam either, so please don't come in Lanxiangyuan, Madam and Second Miss, so that we can live in peace without interfering with each other, don't you think?" ?” Chuning said with a slight smile.

Mrs. Chu's complexion froze slightly after hearing this. This girl is really different from before. Her confident voice, bright eyes, and the faint nobility revealed in her gestures made her unable to distinguish this girl from the past. Chuning from the former general's mansion contacted him.

But she didn't say anything after all, just walked out.

Not long after Mrs. Chu left, General Chu came in. Chu Ning was making tea for herself. Seeing General Chu, she smiled slightly: "Daddy, would you like a drink?"

General Chu looked at Chu Ning's appearance. She was not wearing a veil at this time, and her face covered with red spots was clearly visible, but she didn't care at all, and only looked at him with a smile.

General Chu sat down at the table, took the teacup from Chu Ning, took a sip and said, "I have wronged you all these years."

The smile on Chu Jiang's face remained unchanged: "Why did Dad say that? Everything my daughter got today was given by the General's Mansion, so why should I be wronged?"

"Ning'er, you will know in the future, father, father..." General Chu sighed, but after all he didn't say any more, he put down his teacup and said, "You should rest well, your mother won't make things difficult for you anymore, from now on you just Live at ease in the General's Mansion."

Chu Ning looked at the back of General Chu leaving, and her clear eyes seemed to be covered with mist. After so many years, she finally heard him say "I have wronged you", but now, what's the use of saying it now? ?No matter how big the grievance was, she had swallowed it alone, and no matter how difficult the day was, she had already gone through it.

She is no longer the lonely little girl who longs for her father's mercy when she is wronged. She is strong enough to handle all kinds of tribulations in this world with ease.

Chu Ning closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the mist in his eyes cleared away, leaving only clarity.

At night, the moon was thin, and Chuning sat lazily in the garden by himself, holding a jug of wine in his hand, drinking while looking at the moon in the sky.

The figure outside the wall flashed, and Chu Ning looked at Mu Jian who appeared in the garden, and smiled slightly: "Mu Jian, do you want to have a drink together?"

"Drinking hurts your health." Mu Jian looked at Chuning and frowned.

Chuning laughed: "To be happy in life is to have fun, Mu Jian, why are you always so rigid?"

"Should I continue to stay in Prince Jin's Mansion?" Mu Jian asked without being affected by her words at all.

"Yes." After hearing this, Chu Ning calmed down, and said seriously, "I want you to help me find out whether it is the Third Prince or the Ninth Prince who is supported by Prince Jin's Mansion."

On the surface, Prince Jin's mansion and Xie Ziyu have a very good personal relationship, but after experiencing the incident with the uncle of the country, she knows that under the court, things are turbulent, and everything can't be seen on the surface. Sometimes, the people closest to you may The one who hurt you the most.

After Mu Jian got the order, he turned around and was about to leave, but Chuning hurriedly called him back; "One more thing, help me find a trustworthy person to replace me."

After Mu Jian left, Chu Ning suddenly felt a little bored, threw the flagon in his hand, and staggered towards the room.

Suddenly, she sensed a voice behind her, turned around slowly, and saw the man in white clothes standing quietly under the moonlight, just like the first time she saw him, but it was different from the awe-inspiring murderous look at the bottom of the valley that day. For a moment, she could feel the warmth like the spring breeze.

Chuning couldn't help smiling, she just felt that this world is really wonderful, people who once thought they were out of reach are now within reach.

She was about to walk towards him, but drunkenness surged up, her feet were weak, and she was almost unable to stand, he stepped forward a few steps, and supported her.

"You..." He sighed lightly.

Chuning simply leaned against him, smiled lazily and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Ziyu was silent for a while and said: "Father is going to hold a banquet in a few days, and I want you to attend by name, I'm afraid it's to marry you."

Chuning raised his head suddenly: "What did you say?"

"Xiling looks at Dayu covetously, how could the father agree to the marriage? Especially the marriage partner is you. If the two countries go to war in the future, General Chu will inevitably be distracted when you are in Xiling." Xie Ziyu said slowly.

"So he wants to stop Mu Lianzhi's thoughts and just point me to a marriage?" Chuning narrowed his eyes.

"That's right." Xie Ziyu nodded.

Looking at Xie Ziyu, Chu Ning suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand to hook Xie Ziyu's neck, put his red lips close to Xie Ziyu's ear, and said in a rare and soft voice, "Then my lord, do you want to watch me marry someone else?"

It was the first time Xie Ziyu saw such an active Chuning, his eyes dimmed, his hands around her waist tightened, and even his voice was hoarse and charming: "Of course not."

As soon as the words finished, Xie Ziyu picked up Chuning by the waist and walked towards the room.

Chuning looked at her quietly, with stars shining in her clear eyes, and his breath lingered in her nostrils, as if it was more intoxicating than the fine wine in the pot.

The door was closed, and everything outside the door seemed to be cut off. Inside the door was a closed world, and only the rapid breathing of each other could be heard.

Xie Ziyu put Chu Ning on the bed and leaned on her. Ru Mo's eyes firmly locked her eyes, and his slender fingers caressed her neck, tearing off her mask easily.

"It's a pity that Ma'am is so beautiful, she has the instincts to captivate everyone, but I am the only one who appreciates it." He only heard him speak slowly, and his voice was tinged with a smile.

"You really think it's a pity?" Chuning blinked playfully, obviously not believing his words.

"Of course not." Xie Ziyu smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to caress her face, he was extremely gentle, but also extremely domineering, "It's better to pour all my heart into the city and the country."

Chuning couldn't help laughing, she stretched out her hand to hold Xie Ziyu's face, and pressed a kiss on his lips, with a soft and charming voice, "Your husband is right."

When Xie Ziyu heard this, her phoenix eyes were covered with a layer of confusion, and before she left, she pressed her lips heavily, turning back in an instant.

Chu Ning was caught in Xie Ziyu's kiss and couldn't extricate herself, the clothes on her body gradually fell off, his warm body pressed against him, skin to skin, ear to temple rubbing, she couldn't help closing her eyes.

The red silk tent is warm, a moment of spring night.

On the second day, before dawn, Chuning opened her eyes in a daze, and felt that Xie Ziyu was kissing her brows and eyes, she turned her head to look at the sky outside the window, stretched out her hand and pushed him: "Um... you time to go."

"No rush." ​​Xie Ziyu kissed her on the forehead, his voice a little hoarse.

Chu Ning's drowsiness dissipated, she looked at him and said, "Now that my father is back, if you don't leave early, he will definitely find you."

Xie Ziyu frowned slightly after hearing this, and after a while, bowed his head and kissed her, and said in a low voice, "It's better to marry you into the palace as soon as possible."

For a few days, Chu Ning stayed in the General's Mansion and did not go out. The Ministry of Punishment temporarily asked for leave, but Wei Linglong sent news that Ye Qingyan went to Ning Mansion to find him several times. Ning didn't ask for leave again, and went directly to court.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he ran into Ye Qingyan who was galloping towards him on a horse. Chuning raised his eyebrows: "Why is Lord Hou riding a horse today? Where is your carriage?"

Ye Qingyan jumped off the horse, walked up to Chuning in a few steps, and said with a smile: "I just got this horse, it's a top-quality breed, take a look."

Chuning looked at it for a while, then nodded: "It is indeed a good horse."

"Since you like it too, I'll give it to you." Ye Qingyan said, putting the rein in Chuning's hands.

Chu Ning was taken aback for a moment, and then heard Ye Qingyan continue to say: "Look at your majestic servant of the Ministry of Punishment. Every time you go out, you walk. You have neither a sedan chair nor a carriage. It's really shabby."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "It turns out that Lord Hou gave this horse to me specially today?"

"Of course, haven't you been sick these few days? You must be too tired from walking on weekdays." Ye Qingyan said as a matter of course.

"..." Chuning twitched the corners of her mouth, she had never seen a person who was tired from walking...

"It's rare for you to show up today, why don't we get together tonight." Ye Qingyan put his hand on Chuning's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Okay." Chuning didn't take it seriously, and just smiled lightly.

"Hey, isn't that the carriage of His Royal Highness? What a coincidence today."

Chuning followed Ye Qingyan's gaze, and a brown luxury carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, the curtain was lifted, Xie Ziyu walked down, seeing Ye Qingyan and Chuning's shoulder-to-shoulder appearance, his eyes flickered slightly Shen.

"Your Highness, I heard that Concubine Li Gui has received the emperor's will recently and summoned many ministers' daughters. Could it be that His Highness's wedding is approaching?" Ye Qingyan asked enthusiastically.

When Chu Ning heard this, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows. She didn't know about it. She had heard of Concubine Li Gui, who is the birth mother of the Ninth Prince. She was said to be a low-key person, but she had never seen her before.

She looked at Xie Ziyu, only to see him smile lightly, and asked back: "I heard that Lord Ye has been busy with your life-long affairs recently, and Lord Hou's good deeds are probably coming soon."

Ye Qingyan's face turned pale immediately, he curled his lips, and said, "I haven't curled my horoscope yet, if the old man dares to force me, I'll run away from home!"

Chu Ning chuckled: "Who doesn't know that Ye Laohou is in a hurry to hug his grandson, if you run away, he can still catch you back!"

Ye Qingyan's complexion became even worse, he simply hugged Chuning and did not let go, put his head on Chuning's shoulder, and said: "If I'm in a hurry, I'll show him my sleeve! Ning Chu, you won't dislike me, will you? "

Ye Qingyan suddenly sniffed, the breath on Ning Chu's body is quite pleasant!

Xie Ziyu's eyes darkened, and before he could move, Chuning had already kicked Ye Qingyan away: "I hate you."

Ye Qingyan looked desperate.

In the evening, Ye Qingyan rented a cruise ship and called Chuning, Xie Lingran, Huo Heng and others to have fun together.

There was a game of gambling on the boat, fine wines were served in turns, Ye Qingyan led the crowd, had a great time, and even found a beautiful woman for everyone to accompany, even Xie Lingran was dragged into the water, Chu Ning looked at the group of young men playing with things and losing their minds I feel deeply distressed, so I can only squeeze some people's fat and people's anointing from them unceremoniously.

After a while, Chuning's eyes were already full of money. Among the group of people, she almost won alone.She is a person who accepts money as soon as she sees it, she put the money in her pocket, and said with a smile: "There are three urgent things in people, I will leave for a while!"

"Ning Chu, if you dare to win the money, run away, don't blame us for throwing you into the river." Ye Qingyan, the most experienced, was the first to warn.

"Don't worry! I haven't won enough yet!" Chuning waved his hand and walked out slowly.

As soon as she got to the deck, the cool spring breeze rushed towards her face. She looked at the Yujiang River, large and small cruise ships were floating on the river, and melodious music came from the painting boats not far away. Chuning felt that the smell of copper all over her body suddenly It was diluted.

She looked at the painted boat, which belonged to Fengyue Tower, and all the beautiful and enchanting women played and sang on the boat, adding a different kind of beauty to the Yujiang River.

"Help!" Suddenly, a sharp female voice rang out from the boat, and on the second floor of the boat, two figures were entangled with each other, and there was a "bang", and someone fell from the second floor, directly falling. Entered Yujiang.

Seeing someone struggling in the water, Chuning hesitated for a while, then leaped over, picked up the person flopping in the water with one hand, and was about to jump onto the boat, when the person suddenly raised his head, Chuning was startled, As soon as the strength was released, the person fell back into the water, and was dragged down with himself.

"Ninth Prince? Why are you here?" Chuning asked in a low voice, hiding the surprise in his eyes.

Xie Zicong was obviously afraid of water, he hugged Chuning tightly like an octopus and did not let go, and said anxiously in his voice, "I'm not going back to the boat, take me ashore quickly."

Chu Ning squinted her eyes, didn't say any more, and leaped ashore with Xie Zicong in her arms. She purposely found a place where no one was around and put him down. Seeing his distressed appearance, she said softly, "The Ninth Prince came out late at night. Palace, if the emperor knows, he will be worried."

Xie Zicong suddenly raised his head, stared and said, "Don't tell Father!"

Chuning shrugged: "Ninth Prince, don't worry, I haven't seen anyone today, but it's getting late, Ninth Prince should go back earlier."

After Chuning finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Xie Zicong suddenly called her: "Do me a favor!"

Turning around, Chuning saw him squinting at Huafang, with a look of ruthlessness flashing across his face: "Help me deal with a person."

"If the Ninth Prince is not good enough, he wants to kill people to silence him?" Chu Ning asked lightly. An uncooperative Qing Guan wanted to force him but accidentally threw himself into the river.

Alas, thinking about it, I really feel sad for this little kid.

"What do you know? She tore off my mask and saw my face! If you don't help me, I'll find someone else!" Xie Zicong stared at Chuning. After being poked in the center, he didn't feel guilty at all.

Chu Ning smiled: "In many cases, the only way to kill people is not the only way. If the Ninth Prince believes in the subordinate, he will rest assured to leave this matter to me. The subordinate promises that there will be no news about today's incident."

"Are you sure you don't want to kill her?" Xie Zicong asked suspiciously.

Chu Ning smiled slightly: "Sometimes, things that can be solved without killing people are much less troublesome than solving things by killing people. If there is a little bit of information leaked, the next official is willing to come and see."

"Okay, my prince will trust you once." Xie Zicong hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

It was Hanxin from Fengyuelou who was molested by Xie Zicong.At this moment, Chu Ning was sitting in the room of the painting boat, while Han Xin knelt in front of Chuning, and narrated the ins and outs of the matter.

"Hanxin, you've done a good job." Chuning stood up, helped Hanxin up, and smiled.

"Hanxin would like to obey the master's instructions." Hanxin raised her head, a flash of determination flashed across her beautiful and pure face.

Chu Ning looked at the incense burner on the table, the incense inside had been burnt out, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, from the moment she heard what the emperor said at the ancient well, she had already decided to help Xie Ziyu, Since then, I have done some research on Xie Zicong. He is still young, no matter how deeply he was trained by the emperor, he still has a youthful heart, and he has no ability to resist this colorful world. She knew early in the morning that he was tonight Will come to draw boats.

Therefore, what happened tonight was just a trick set up by her. Even if he wasn't looking for Hanxin, he would still be hit by the enchanting incense, would still attempt to moles him, would still fall into the Yujiang River, and would be rescued by her in the end.

Although Xie Zicong is the devil king of the world, he never dared to let the emperor know about such scandals.

Chu Ning stepped out of the boat, looked at the moon above her head, and sighed suddenly. She was never willing to use tricks, but in this court, if she was a little careless, she might lose everything. It doesn't matter if she loses, but she can't let Xie Ziyu loses!

Chu Ning went back to Ye Qingyan's cruise ship wearing wet clothes. Ye Qingyan's eyes widened when he saw her: "I thought you really ran away? I dare say you went swimming in the river!"

Chuning smiled bitterly: "Someone fell into the water just now, so I went to help."

"Lord Ning is truly a bodhisattva." Xie Lingran smiled softly.

"Come here, prepare hot water for Master Ning." Ye Qingyan yelled, turned to Chu Ning and said, "There are clean clothes upstairs, you should go and change them soon, your illness just happened, be careful and get sick again!"

"Hey, Qing Yan, why is the treatment of this person so different from others? I remember last time I was drenched in water to wait for you, but you didn't even say a word of concern! I asked you to lend me a set of clothes. Borrow!" Hearing this, Huo Heng said a little unbalanced.
