Chapter 21 Burn more paper money for him
Shen Ning was silent for a long time, picked up the cold tea, and drank it sip by sip to quench his anger.
Her father, Shen Shuyuan, left the capital more than three years ago because of the Rongjiang Dam incident, and was killed by bandits on the way back.
This was an accident, an accident that everyone acknowledged, so the emperor sent troops to suppress the bandits, flattened the mountain, and posthumously conferred the first rank on her father, and gave him a grand funeral.
Shen Ning had never doubted it in his previous life, and had never even touched upon it at all, but from Li Shaobai's tone, it seemed that there was another truth here?
What is the truth? Was her father murdered?
Judging from Li Shaobai's tone, he seemed to suspect that this was a trap set by her.
He didn't think that she knew the truth and wanted to avenge her own father, did he?
I didn't expect that he thought so highly of her.
ridiculous.
Her father, the Minister of Works, a second-rank official, dared to kill him. How powerful, powerful, and ruthless must the mastermind behind this be?
She was an expired young lady from an official family, with a bunch of burdens following her. The only bargaining chip she had was the little money she had, and even then there was a group of jackals eyeing her covetously.
Asking her to avenge her own father is tantamount to asking a three-year-old child to kill a seven-foot-tall man. It is a fantasy and overestimating one's own abilities.
If she had known about this in her previous life... maybe she would have really plunged into it with all her passion.
She loved her father so much that she was determined to know the truth, even at the cost of her own life.
But now she herself has died once, alive or dead, it seems like that's all.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t care about her own father. She would definitely burn more paper money for him during festivals.
Yuzhu held Liuying's arm and looked at the figure upstairs worriedly: "Sister Liuying, the young lady has been sitting there motionless for an hour. Did something happen?"
Liuying also frowned: "Go and see if the dinner is ready. I'll go up with a basin of water."
Mo Xueer looked left and right, and no one paid any attention to her, so she simply walked over and sat next to Shen Ning.
Shen Ning looked at her and said, "Your brother said you can talk, how come I haven't heard you say a word in all these days?"
Mo Xueer blinked, as if she was thinking, and after a while she blurted out, "Follow the young lady and have dinner."
"..."
With a childish girl's voice, she is innocent, sweet and adorable.
What a waste of this face.
Seeing that Shen Ning didn't seem to like it, she became anxious and said, "I'm not stupid, Miss, I'm beautiful."
"Pfft."
Shen Ning was amused: "It turns out that he is not a little fool, but a little flatterer."
When she finally spoke, a switch in Mo Xueer seemed to be turned on all of a sudden. When Liuying came up with the basin of water, she ran over to take it, and imitated what Liuying usually did, wrung out the towel and gently wiped Shen Ning's face and hands.
Liuying was stunned: "This girl...is not stupid."
Knowing who to please and how to serve others, how can this be stupid?
Shen Ning smiled: "It's rare to have a pure heart. People who don't understand will naturally think she's stupid."
Before, I was a little fool; I praised her for being beautiful and having a pure heart.
----------
Shen Ning was normal as usual, as if he was really just in a daze for that hour.
The next day after breakfast, I unexpectedly received a letter from Princess Changle.
Princess Changle is the legitimate daughter of the King of Qi and one of the most noble ladies in the capital.
Shen Ning knew her, but she didn't know whether other people recognized her or not.
There were officials everywhere in the capital, and royal relatives and nobles gathered there, so Shen Ningke couldn't even get a number.
But since the post had been delivered, no matter what the intention was, she had to go there.
Whenever Shen Ning went out for a banquet, Liuying and Yuzhu were the ones who were busy. They hurried to prepare clothes for her and re-do her hair.
When meeting different people, one should wear different clothes and jewelry, especially when meeting royal relatives and nobles. Not only should one be decent, but one should also avoid other people's taboos.
For example, if the host doesn’t like the color red, but you insist on wearing red, then you will feel uncomfortable.
Liuying’s outfit was a good match, but Shen Ning thought about it and picked up a new one for himself.
"Miss, this is riding clothes."
What Shen Ning wanted was riding clothes: "Princess Changle is good at riding and shooting. There is a horse farm behind Fenglin Villa, so she should wear riding clothes."
Sure enough, when Shen Ning arrived, Princess Changle was competing in archery with others.
A bunch of people surrounded her, and Shen Ning identified them one by one. Well, they were all people she couldn't afford to offend.
Shen Ning dismounted and greeted everyone one by one. Many of them were regular customers of the Shen's shop and had some friendship with Shen Ning, so they all returned the greetings with a smile.
Walking to the center, I saw a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a red riding suit, looking heroic.
He put the arrow on the bow, bent the bow, and pulled hard. The arrow shot out and hit the bull's eye.
"Good! Princess, you have great archery skills!"
A group of people immediately clapped their hands, and Shen Ning followed suit and clapped his hands gently. It was not until Princess Changle turned around and looked over that he stepped forward and saluted: "Shen Ning greets the princess. It is an honor to be invited by the princess."
Princess Changle looked her up and down, her eyes were indifferent, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry. She re-rod the arrow and said, "I heard that your sister made you so angry that you vomited blood and fainted. Now you seem to be doing well."
Shen Ning: "I am angry, but I am done with it. I guess it is not my destiny. I can't force it."
Princess Changle shot an arrow and hit the bull's eye again: "You can't force it? What if someone insists on forcing it?"
Shen Ning raised his eyes, thinking: "Everyone has their own aspirations and their own destiny. I have a hard enough life myself, how dare I judge others."
"Take it."
A bow was thrown into Shen Ning's arms, and Princess Changle jumped on the horse: "Do you know how to use it?"
Shen Ning knew a little bit, but that was all she knew. However, it didn't matter. She clenched her bow tightly and said, "I dare not disturb the princess's interest. I have to accompany her even if it means sacrificing my life."
Princess Changle led her men into the woods to hunt. She was a good archer, and although she couldn't hit the target every time, the number of prey she caught was visibly increasing.
She forgot about Shen Ning's existence while playing, until she had enough fun and looked back, she found that Shen Ning had not shot a single arrow.
"Didn't you say you would risk your life to accompany this princess? I think you are just here to make up the numbers."
Shen Ning held the longbow, put an arrow on it, bent the bow, and shot the arrow at a tree not far away. However, her strength was too weak, and the arrow fell off the tree in less than two breaths. It was visibly weak.
Princess Changle showed her disdain without disguising it: "It's useless."
Shen Ning was not annoyed by being disliked. Instead, he looked at the bow with great interest.
"I overestimated my own abilities and wronged the princess's top-notch bow."
Princess Changle raised her eyebrows and looked Shen Ning up and down. She liked martial arts and disliked those delicate young ladies from aristocratic families who moaned without reason and were pretentious.
Shen Ning also looked delicate and frail, but her personality was not like that. She felt awkward as if she wanted to hate him but couldn't, yet she didn't seem to like him either.
Seeing that she really liked the bow, she said directly: "I'll give it to you as a reward."
Shen Ning smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Thank you, Princess."
It's not quite like that, but her attitude does seem a bit flattering.
Princess Changle pursed her lips and asked: "Why did Li Shaobai come to see you yesterday?"
Shen Ning instantly understood that this was the reason why Princess Changle sent her the invitation. With this attitude, could it be that she has a crush on Li Shaobai?
She remembered that the princess was already engaged.
Shen Ning thought for a moment and replied calmly: "Young Master Li was passing by and learned that I was recuperating here, so he stopped by to visit."
Without waiting for her expression to change, Shen Ning continued, "The Shen family and the Li family have some business dealings, so they can barely be considered to have a certain degree of friendship, that's all."
