Shen Ning didn't expect Qin Zhuo to come to his house. There was no good topic for a while and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Qin Zhuo was calm and asked someone to bring a box to Shen Ning: "See if you like it."

Shen Ning opened the box and found a dagger inlaid with gems inside.

"Master Qin gave it to me?"

Qin Zhuo raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Don't like it?"

Shen Ning was silent for a while, and finally reached out to pick up the knife. He grasped the handle with a little force and pulled out the knife. The blade was shiny and white, with a cold glow. One could even feel the chill emanating from it.

A knife, no matter how big or small, is a weapon that can kill people.

Shen Ning had used a dagger to kill someone not long ago. Now Qin Zhuo gave her such a dagger. Without saying anything, she understood that it was a recognition.

She is this dagger, and she will be used to kill people in the future.

"I like it. Thank you."

Qin Zhuo: "Lin Shikai was demoted four levels. The Han family lost the position of the Minister of Justice in order to save Han Yin. You are a victim. They won't cause trouble to you openly, but you should not have too much contact with them."

It was obvious that these words were for her own good, and Shen Ning's expression softened a little: "I understand."

Qin Zhuo was so angry at her serious expression that he laughed: "What kind of monster am I? You were quite talkative just now, but now you become a yes-man in front of me."

I answered every question he asked, as if I was being bullied by him.

Shen Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Mr. Qin has helped me a lot, saved me twice, and this time he brought me back from the brink of death. I am grateful and respectful to you, so I dare not speak nonsense."

The word "you" made Qin Zhuo silent. He knew that Shen Ning wanted to express respect, but was he old enough to need others to use honorifics?

He looked at Shen Ning, and it seemed as if he saw the little girl through her.

"Master Qin?"

Qin Zhuo came back to his senses and stood up: "I have something else to do later, I should go now."

Shen Ning stood up to see him off, and the two walked towards the door side by side. Although Shen Ning's injuries were almost healed, she couldn't walk fast. Then she found that Qin Zhuo didn't take big steps either, as if he was trying to accommodate her pace.

Shen Ning couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Rumors really can't be trusted. In her eyes, Qin Zhuo's self-cultivation and words and deeds have surpassed many people, but the outside world has spread the word that he is hated by everyone and like a demon.

All the way to the door, Qin Zhuo didn't say anything more, and left with his men, as if he just passed by and gave her a dagger.

After watching Qin Zhuo's team leave and was about to go back, he saw three carriages parked nearby.

The curtain of the first carriage was lifted, and Du Yunzhi jumped down quickly, completely ignoring Ye Feiyan behind her, and ran quickly towards Shen Ning.

The person who got off the carriage next to Du Yunzhi was Princess Changle, and the person who got off the last carriage was Li Shaobai.

Shen Ning: “…” It’s so lively today.

"Aning!"

Du Yunzhi rushed over and wanted to hug her, but because of her injuries, she had to stop. She looked at Shen Ning with a worried look on her face, and then circled around her.

"Are you healed? Where is it hurt?"

"That damn Shen Ming should be torn into pieces and his bones pulverized and scattered into ashes."

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't called you, you wouldn't have walked out onto the street and he would have taken advantage of you and killed you."

"I'm very worried about you. Liuying said you were recuperating somewhere else, but you refused to tell me where you were."

"I'm sorry...it's all my fault..."

She walked around Shen Ning while talking, and when she stopped, she was already in tears, which showed that she must have been tortured these days.

"Yunzhi." Shen Ning wiped her tears gently: "Don't blame you. It's the bad guy's fault, not your fault. Don't torture yourself with the evil things that scumbag did."

She gently moved closer to hug her: "My stomach and shoulders are injured, you can hug me anywhere else."

Du Yunzhi held her gently as if she were holding fragile glass, but she cried loudly: "Wuwuwu... Aning... Wuwuwu... I'm so scared..."

The other three stood in a row, watching the two people hugging each other 'affectionately'.

Princess Changle had to admit that she was a little jealous. She glanced at Ye Feiyan beside her and said, "Miss Du loves Shen Ning more than you do."

Ye Feiyan smiled and said, "They grew up together and are as close as sisters. Naturally, they have a deep bond. I love my future wife and I will also respect her sister."

Princess Changle didn't expect that she was just joking, but she got hit by a boomerang, which stabbed her and made her bleed profusely.

He strode towards Shen Ning: "Aning."

Shen Ning patted Du Yunzhi, and after letting her go, she was about to salute Princess Changle, but Princess Changle held her back and said, "Alright, do you still have to be so particular about this between you and me?"

Shen Ning smiled slightly, nodded and greeted Ye Feiyan and Li Shaobai behind him: "Let's go in and talk."

Shen Ning looked at the sky and called the messenger, saying, "Prepare the food and wine. Make a mutton soup pot. Also, ask the kitchen to prepare the best river fish and fresh shrimp. Bring up the fresh fruits and candied fruits."

Princess Changle: "I just came to see you, no need to entertain you specially."

Shen Ning smiled and said, "I have escaped death and I am meeting good friends again, so of course I have to celebrate. However, I cannot drink alcohol now, so I will drink some milk tea later as a token of my company."

When Shen Ning was talking to Princess Changle, Du Yunzhi consciously lagged behind half a step. She had a good relationship with Shen Ning, but Princess Changle was of noble status, and she couldn't be ignorant of etiquette and cause trouble for Shen Ning.

Shen Ningwei stopped walking, turned back and held her hand: "Yunzhi, why don't you stick to me anymore? Don't worry, my injury has healed a lot, and I won't get hurt."

Du Yunzhi gestured to her that Princess Changle was nearby.

As if she hadn't seen it, Shen Ning pulled her over to face Princess Changle: "Princess, this is my sister Du Yunzhi who grew up with me. Both Du's Restaurant and Sande Teahouse belong to her."

Naturally, her good sisters have to introduce themselves openly.

Du Yunzhi was stunned, but she also said calmly: "I have always heard Shen Ning mention the princess. Nice to meet you."

Princess Changle nodded: "I have a good relationship with Shen Ning, you are Shen Ning's good sister, there is no need to be so restrained."

As he said this, he glanced at Ye Feiyan next to him and said, "Why didn't you mention him when you introduced him?"

Du Yunzhi was a little embarrassed, but Shen Ning didn't care: "That's Mr. Ye, the princess should know him. Oh, by the way, he is also Yunzhi's fiancé."

That tone is very concerning.

Ye Feiyan didn't feel that he was being neglected, and even smiled in a very worthless way.

Princess Changle couldn't bear to watch it, but Shen Ning dared to say it, which made him certain that Princess Changle was not the kind of person who couldn't bear to see others happy when she herself was unhappy.

Even though Princess Changle felt a little jealous, she was comforted by Shen Ning.

A few people went in, and the people behind them came in with a lot of items, all of which were medicinal herbs for nourishing the body.

Regardless of whether they were valuable or not, they had no intention of letting Shen Ning take a look and just casually pushed them aside. Shen Ning didn't have to be polite to them. He wanted to celebrate first and talk about the empty formalities of courtesy later.
