In the middle of the night, Jiang Xue Ning was awakened by Qing He's soft voice.

"Something happened to the prince..."

Jiang Xue Ning suddenly woke up, "What happened?"

"Something happened to Master Jingyu." Qing He said as she helped her put on her clothes, "There was a fire in his residence and he was assassinated."

Jiang Xue Ning washed her face with a hot towel while saying, "This is a case of brothers turning against each other and killing each other to silence them."

"Fortunately, Bai Yu left quickly, otherwise Master Jing would have been doomed tonight."

After she and Bai Yu mentioned Jing Yu's matter, their secret sentries had been keeping an eye on him, so as soon as they saw something wrong, they immediately came back to report.

When she finished packing and went to the study, she saw the young man in black clothes under the bright light. There were traces of blood on his white jade face, which made him look even more charming.

Seeing her come in, the man who was originally emitting coldness, blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes aggrievedly, "I almost went to see the King of Hell, Your Majesty, please be kind and sympathetic to me."

Jiang Xue Ning walked closer and looked him up and down. Seeing that he was not seriously injured, she didn't bother to pay attention to his pretending to be crazy.

"When are you going to fight back?"

"You are so cold and don't even care about me." Jing Yu complained for a while, and finally said seriously, "Since he has killed me, I have nothing to worry about."

"The day after tomorrow is a good day. Please come to Jincheng to take charge for me."

Since it was about Jincheng's ownership, she would have to be there to feel at ease. "I will go."

Jing Yu touched the wound on his face and said, "Don't hit someone in the face. I make a living by my face. Jing Ye is too shameless."

Jiang Xue Ning silently ordered Qing He, "Prepare a room for the young master and let him rest."

"No, I want to go back to Jincheng overnight and kill him by surprise."

"Bai Yu, take your men with him."

The two men did not stay for long. After selecting the good people, they led their men to Jincheng overnight.

Hua Yan, who was awakened, leaned against the door, yawning and commenting, "Jincheng is developing very well. If I can come back, it will be icing on the cake."

Now that they were awake, they were no longer sleepy, so they just started chatting in the study about the future development plans of Xiangchu.

When it was bright and clear, and after breakfast, Jiang Xue Ning changed into a neat outfit, tied up her hair, and led her people to Jincheng.

Along the way, they stopped and walked, looking at the scenery while planning how to connect Jincheng and Xiangcheng. Because the two sides have always been trading, there are inns and small shops selling food and tea along the way.

Hua Yan was very satisfied. "It has developed naturally. If we give it a push, it will develop even better."

When we arrived in Jincheng, the sky was high and the clouds were light. People were walking leisurely on the streets, and the market was still bustling.

This place is far away from the capital, the emperor is far away, there is a city lord who is not bad, and the people live a stable life.

Jiang Xue Ning said objectively, "He's not a good father, but he's a good city lord."

"Men are amazing, but they tend to be particularly cruel to women."

The two chatted and went to the inn which was closest to the City Lord's Mansion and one of the best inns in Jincheng.

Bai Yu, who arrived earlier, was already waiting for them at the inn.

"The people we brought have already laid an ambush according to Jing Yu's instructions. They will take action as soon as the opportunity comes and we give the order."

"Tsk tsk, he looks like a playboy, but he is quite ruthless when he fights." Hua Yan commented.

They stayed at the inn and went to rest after dinner.

Jiang Xue Ning woke up, and Bai Yu came in and gossiped, "Jing Yu asked me to take you to see his mother. He wouldn't still have evil intentions."

She was in a daze and it took her a while to realize that her mother had died a long time ago and she must have gone to visit her grave.

"Whether you die or not, it won't affect anything."

Bai Yu, who was watching the fun, said, "It's good that he's not dead. I want to see him and the King of Yunzhou fight. He is shameless, and the King of Yunzhou is too noble and cold. He should teach him a lesson and make him feel a little more threatened."

Speaking of Shen Zhaoyan, Jiang Xue Ning said with some worry, "It's almost time now. I wonder if he has received the letter that was sent to him."

Yunmeng Prefecture is an independent prefecture and does not belong to the territory of Xiling, so it is geographically far away from here and communications are extremely inconvenient.

"Why don't you take Jing Yu in? He doesn't know about you since he's far away." Bai Yu made a random suggestion.

Jiang Xue Ning glanced at him slowly and said, "If you like him, you can keep him. He has a beautiful face anyway."

"Don't slander me, I don't like him..."

Jiang Xue Ning followed Bai Yu to the foot of a green mountain in a low-key manner. Bai Yu pointed to the stone stairs leading up the mountain and said, "Go up. He should be waiting for you up there."

Jiang Xue Ning climbed up the stone steps alone. Halfway up the mountain, he saw Jing Yu, dressed in white, waiting for him.

Jing Yu had changed his playboy behavior today and instead behaved a bit like a young master from an aristocratic family. She looked at him twice more with curiosity.

Perhaps her gaze was too obvious, he smiled bitterly, "If mother were still alive, this is probably what she would want me to look like, but unfortunately I disappointed her."

Jiang Xue Ning comforted her gently, "No matter what you become, she will love you very much."

Jing Yu led him deep into the mountains and soon saw a grave. There were beautiful flowers in front of the grave and green trees nearby, and it was obvious that it was well maintained.

He took out the exquisite food, beautiful handkerchiefs, rouge and powder he brought and placed them in front of the grave. He said with nostalgia in his eyes, "My mother was gentle and beautiful, she loved beauty and reading, but it's a pity that my father didn't understand her goodness."

Jiang Xue Ning did not go forward to disturb them, but stepped back and watched quietly.

Jing Yu sat in front of the tomb for a while, and said with determination, "Mom, when you left, you told me to endure whatever happened, and everything would be fine when I grew up."

"But it didn't get better when I grew up, so I decided not to bear it anymore." He reached out and touched the tombstone, "Mom, you won't blame me, will you? Please bless me in the netherworld."

He calmed down and said to Jiang Xue Ning, "Thank you for coming with me."

"Tomorrow is my mother's memorial day. I want you to do me a favor."

"You said."

Intense hatred burst out from his beautiful peach blossom eyes, "Many years ago, when my mother was dying in bed, he chose to accompany that woman."

"Today, many years later, I will give him one last chance to see what he chooses."

Jiang Xue Ning sighed inwardly and kindly advised, "A crooked heart cannot be turned back. I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"Heh, maybe I'm still a bitch." He covered his face and chuckled, "If he gives up on me again, then I can hurt him with peace of mind."

"Okay, let me help you."

After all, he is her biological father, and she understands the confusion and pain in his heart.

If he could ask for it again, and if he was still wounded and bleeding, then he could probably let it go completely.
