bastard returns

In response, Tong Baimei tidied up the things in the car, turned off the oil lamp in the car, then shook the coat that had just been sewed for Ning Yuan, and wanted to cover it for him, but before he got up, he saw Huyan Yuanchen made a silent gesture to her, took the robe from her hand, and then lightly covered Ning Yuan's body.

Seeing this, Bai Tan pursed his lips and smiled, nodded to Huyan Yuanchen as a thank you, then sat in the upper corner, closed his eyes and rested like Baimei.

Soon, there were only the sound of rolling wheels and the sound of horseshoes around. Huyan Yuanchen sat there but couldn't fall asleep. He opened the curtains of the car beside him a crack, and the moonlight outside was just right, giving the surrounding vast wilderness Silver plated.Suddenly, Huyan Yuanchen thought of those assassins just now, frowned, and called softly: "Yan Fei."

Yan Fei immediately rode the horse and leaned over, "What is the young master's order?"

"Go and do a few things for me, and come to Xianghe Town to look for me after you're done." After finishing speaking, Huyan Yuanchen gave him a few instructions in a low voice, and Yan Fei nodded immediately, pulled the rein of the horse and turned around, looking for him when he came. way to go.

Only then did Huyan Yuanchen lie down, seeing that Ning Yuan was still facing him with his head resting on the floor of the car, he couldn't help but softly said: "Brother Ning, is it uncomfortable for your neck to fall asleep like this?"

After waiting for a while, seeing that Ning Yuan didn't respond, he quietly leaned over to look at Ning Yuan's face. Under the moonlight, although Ning Yuan closed his eyes and tried to pretend to be asleep, he was still caught by Huyan. Yuan Chen noticed his constantly trembling eyelashes.Huyan Yuanchen held back his laughter, suddenly became playful, and said, "If Brother Ning doesn't mind, I can lend you my arm for a pillow."

Seeing that Ning Yuan still didn't respond, Huyan Yuanchen actually moved his hands, dragged his head to rest on his right arm, and at the same time wrapped his left hand around Ning Yuan's chest, putting on a posture of wrapping him in his arms , "It's cold at night, and there's not much room in the car, Brother Ning, don't mind sharing a squeeze with me."

"Ghosts don't mind." Although Ning Yuan kept pretending to be asleep on the face, but he had already scolded in his heart, but seeing Huyan Yuanchen stopped moving after finishing the exaggerated sentence, he presumably fell asleep, and his pillow Holding his arms was indeed much more comfortable than resting his head on the hard floor of the car, Ning Yuan felt awkward, but he didn't struggle, but accepted this sleeping position with a guilty conscience.

Moreover, leaning against Huyan Yuanchen's warm chest, Ning Yuan even had a momentary illusion, as if he had experienced it before.

When is it?

Yan Shi came out of the bedroom wearing a nightgown, Mama Xu immediately went up to meet her, and put on the outer robe for her. Through the gap in the door, one could see Ning Ruhai's strong body lying naked on the inner bed, naked all over. With Zeng's fine sweat, she didn't move at all, presumably she fell asleep from exhaustion, Xu's mother looked away, looked at Yan's rosy face again, and complimented: "Seeing that the master and wife are as loving as ever, this slave is really heartfelt." Happy for Mrs."

"Is that so, I think the master has never had a relationship with me, it's just that sometimes the random flowers become more charming." Yan smiled lightly, "Is the bathroom ready?"

"Get ready, servant girl will lead Madam to take a bath."

Yan Shi was lying in a huge bathtub covered with flower petals, holding a mirror in his hand and looking at his face carefully. The skin of the woman in the mirror was as smooth and soft as a goose egg. When he arrived, his cheeks would inevitably droop a little, but upon closer inspection, Yan Shi found that his face was much younger than what he saw a few days ago.

"Mother Xu, do you think I'm getting younger?" She asked in surprise to Mother Xu who was rubbing her hair behind her.

"Madam has always been young and beautiful." Mother Xu flattered her like a dog.

"Looking at it this way, this exercise is really effective. Your Highness is sincerely not deceiving me." Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, admiring the face in the mirror, "Since I practiced this exercise, not only have I regained my master's His love, actually really has the miraculous effect of rejuvenating."

"It's just, ma'am." Hearing what Yan said, Mother Xu suddenly showed a worried expression, "We took the things from His Highness the Fourth Highness, but what the Fourth Highness explained, Madam, look..."

Yan turned her head and said: "Didn't he just want to know what kind of background is behind that kid Ning Yuan? It's really ridiculous. What kind of background can a son born to a prostitute have? The Fourth Highness doesn't know who listened to someone's slander. Even such absurd things would be believed."

"In that case, why didn't Madam tell the Fourth Highness the truth, instead she tried to evade and investigate slowly, as if..."

"You make it sound like it's true?" Yan said with a smile, "Mother Xu, have you ever caught fish?"

"fishing?"

"You can hang all kinds of bait on the hook before the fish takes the bait, but after the fish takes the bait, will you continue to feed it the bait?"

"Madame means..."

"Our current relationship with His Royal Highness, to put it bluntly, is just fishing for each other. He has the bait I want, and I have the bait he wants, but if he finds out that I am not what he wants Will he still give me the bait for that fish?" Yan snorted softly, "Since he suspects that kid Ning Yuan has a background, I might as well pretend that that kid really has some secret background, since he wants my help The investigation will naturally give me all the bait I want, and if it happens tonight and that kid Ning Yuan dies, I can reply to him in a fair manner and say, I am really sorry, Your Highness, Ning Yuan died Well, the matter you explained may not be found out, I am the dignified wife of Wu Anbo, the wife of the third rank, and he can't do anything to me."

"It turns out that this is the case, Madam is wise, but this servant is stupid." Mother Xu bowed knowingly.

"At this time, Zhao Shan's kung fu should be over." Yan put down the mirror in his hand, leaned against the tub comfortably, and looked at the bright moon outside the window. If you push those thieves who are blocking the road and robbing, others will have no clue even if they want to investigate, in the wilderness, killing people and stealing goods is nothing more than a normal thing."

At this time, a servant girl walked into the bathroom, holding a square brocade box in her hand, and saluted Yan Shifu: "Madam, this servant found a brocade box at the door of your room. Who put it there."

"Brilliant box?" Yan was taken aback for a moment, and after hearing this, Xu's mother immediately said: "Madam, do you think it could be the master...?"

"Master, it's true." Yan Shi also understood what Xu's mother meant, and two bright red clouds flew on her face, which was already flushed from the hot water, "I'm an old couple and still do this. Ashamed."

"How can Madam say that? This is the master's love for Madam." Madam Xu immediately fetched a cloth towel, helped Yan Shi get up from the bathtub, changed her into a clean nightgown, and Yan Shi went to the maid , took the brocade box from her hand, waved her away again.

The brocade box is quite heavy, and the outside looks extraordinarily gorgeous. As you move, you can feel something rolling around inside. Yan can't help guessing, what could be contained in such a brocade box? , is it an antique from the previous dynasty, or a precious jade article?

While thinking, Yan opened the lid of the brocade box.

The bathroom was filled with mist, but the candle was bright, allowing Yan Shi to see clearly what was in the box at once. It was not an antique or jade, but... Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she let out a violent cry. With a scream, the box was almost thrown out like lightning.

The scream was so terrified that Mother Xu was taken aback. Mother Xu wondered, could it be that the box was not a gift from the master to his wife? With both hands grasping the front of his chest, his face was pale, his lips were trembling, it seemed that he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.As for the brocade box that he threw away forcefully, it hit the wall, and a black, round thing fell out of it, bounced on the ground twice, and then rolled to Mother Xu's feet.

Xu's mother lowered her eyes curiously, and immediately collapsed on the ground in fright, screaming like Yan Shi, while holding her feet hard, trying to kick the thing away, but the thing seemed to be alive, every time Every time I was kicked away by Xu's mother, I would bump into something and roll back until Xu's mother got up tremblingly and helped Yan out of the bedroom as if fleeing, the thing really stopped, only a pair of bloody eyes on it , still wide open, looking at the direction they left from afar.

It was a head covered in blood!

"Master, we are here."

Ning Yuan jumped out of the carriage refreshed, the sky had just brightened, and there was still a layer of mist in the surrounding air, Bai Tan took out a cloak from the salute and put it on Ning Yuan's shoulders, Ning Yuan stretched After being lazy, he turned around and said to the handsome young man who kept rubbing his neck behind him, "Is there something uncomfortable about you?"

Huyan Yuanchen didn't know how to answer. He originally wanted to make a joke with Ning Yuan last night. He thought that with Ning Yuan's character, seeing himself squeezed together with him would immediately stop pretending to be asleep and push him away, but Who would have expected that Ning Yuan not only didn't respond, but seemed to be very comfortable in his arms. He changed from pretending to sleep to real sleep in three or two strokes, and finally turned into Huyan Yuanchen riding a tiger. After waking up, he had no choice but to maintain that stiff posture, "entrusting" Ning Yuan to lie down all night, even if he was in good health, there was no reason why he wouldn't suffer from back pain.

Now that Ning Yuan asked the question clearly, he obviously wanted to tease himself for throwing a stone at his foot, Huyan Yuanchen could only smile wryly and shook his head, saying duplicity: "It's just that the carriage was too bumpy and I didn't sleep well."

"So, after all, His Royal Highness is delicate and expensive. I slept very well last night, and now I feel comfortable all over." Ning Yuan seemed to have something to say, and said this on purpose, seeing Huyan Yuanchen as if he had confessed. Without answering the same thing, he began to look at the surrounding environment with a triumphant smile.

In fact, in terms of the environment alone, one can see the barrenness of Xianghe Town at a glance. In the surrounding farmlands that can be seen, the land is not cracked, but it is full of withered crops, even the vegetation and trees growing by the roadside. , even if it is not withered, it is crooked, far less lush than other places.

A group of them walked on the stone road into the town. Even though it was still early in the morning, it was already time to get up and work in other places, but there was no pedestrian on the road, and many houses around were even vacant. The cobwebs at the door were hung layer after layer, presumably no one had been in or out for a long time.

"Master, that's the farm of our mansion." After turning around an intersection, Zhou Shi pointed to a well-built courtyard not far away. There was a huge "Ning" character on the plaque at the main entrance, which also indicated that they didn't come. Wrong place.

Ning Yuan glanced at Zhou Shi, Zhou Shi understood immediately, went up and knocked on the door, waited for a long time, with the creaking sound of the door opened, an old man who couldn't even stand up slowly moved out from inside, The protruding eyes sized them up and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

"Our young master is from Ningfu, Jiangzhou." Zhou Shi reported his family name, "Where are the people in charge in this village, why don't you come out to greet him soon?"

When the old man heard the words "Jiangzhou Ningfu", his eyeballs bulged out again, and he hurriedly bowed down tremblingly, "It turns out that it is the young master... Last night, the Zhuangzi received a letter from the master's flying pigeon." Alright, little Wang hunchback, see you, see you young master..."

"Okay, good man, I see that you can't stand still, so you don't need to be polite." Ning Yuan gave Zhou Shi a sign, and Zhou Shi immediately helped the old man up.The old man named Wang Luoguo coughed a few times before saying: "Master, please come in first, young one, young one, I'll go and inform the supervisor."

Ning Yuan nodded, ordered Zhou Shi to settle the carriage, and took the Bai sisters directly into Zhuangzi. Huyan Yuanchen followed behind like an outsider, and Ning Yuan ignored him.The yard is very spacious and the layout is decent. This kind of farm will occasionally serve as a temporary residence for the family members when they go out for an outing, so apart from being a little smaller, all the specifications are in accordance with the rules.Ning Yuan entered the main hall and sat down on the main seat. The Bai sisters wanted to make some tea for Ning Yuan, but they wandered around the room. Can stay on the side, waiting for the old man Wang to bring the manager.

One stick of incense, two sticks of incense, a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, a full half an hour passed, but the room was still quiet, not even half of people came to pay their respects.

"These guys must be trying to make faces for the young master!" Baimei couldn't hold back, "It's so presumptuous!"

Ning Yuan sat there with a calm expression, as if he was not surprised by the situation at all. At this moment, the old man Wang finally staggered back and said hesitantly: "Master, the person in charge, the person in charge said he was not feeling well, so he couldn't come here in person. I don't know if it's possible, but if I can excuse you..."

"Unwell?" Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows, instead of getting angry as Old Man Wang expected, he smiled instead, "Since the steward of the farm is unwell, it doesn't matter if I can't come, but I can send someone to bring him. In any case, this etiquette cannot be discarded, Zhou Shi."

Zhou Shi understood what Ning Yuan meant, and immediately took orders, and left the room with Wang Luoguo who hadn't understood yet.

In a spacious wing room on the south side of the courtyard, a fat man in the middle snorted, turned over with his stomach in his arms, and was sleeping comfortably.

His name was Li Shuan, and he was the steward of the Ning family farm. Because he was snobbish and cunning, he was nicknamed Li Snobby.

In fact, he received a letter from Jiangzhou last night, saying that a young master from the family would come over today, but he didn't take this "young master" seriously at all.In his opinion, Ning Yuan is just a 14-year-old doll, a doll who made a mistake and was sent here to think about it. The right to go up and down affairs, but Li Quan saw it as a joke. As the manager, he has been holding the up and down affairs of the farm firmly in his hands all these years. I'm afraid that kid's arms are not as thick as his own fingers.

Just now, Wang Luoguo also said that the young master has arrived, and it is ridiculous to ask him to pay his respects. Now that the farm has no food, and everyone has nothing to do, it is not uncommon to sleep until noon or even later. Get off the horse and let him see who is in charge in this farm. If you offend him, let alone the young master, even if the king of heaven comes, you have to kneel down to him in the boundary of Xianghe town!

Li Shuan was snoring loudly, and I don't know if he was dreaming of Ning Yuan kneeling at his feet begging for mercy, but at this moment, the door of the wing room was kicked open vigorously, and with the help of a vigorous figure strode in.

Li Shuan snorted again, he still didn't open his eyes in a daze, his instinctive habit had already made him open his mouth and shouted: "Which bastard is impatient with life, don't you know that grandpa is not allowed to disturb you when he is sleeping!"

But the person who came in obviously didn't intend to be polite to him, so he walked directly to the bed, grabbed his neckline and lifted his round body up, then raised his hands high, and waved his face vigorously with a "slap" Two slaps.

The man was very strong, not only woke up Li Quan's drowsiness, but also his cheeks on both sides quickly turned blue and purple, swollen and shiny.

079 Yan's Conspiracy

"You... who are you!?" Li Quan opened his eyes wide and looked at the sturdy young man who was carrying him, but the young man ignored him and dragged Li Shuan out of the room by his collar .

But Li Shuan is used to domineering, there is no reason for being treated like this, he couldn't break free from the young man's hand, but as soon as he left the room, he raised his voice and yelled, "Come on! Come on, get this Get me the little thief!"

As soon as Li Shuan's words fell, several disheveled men sprang out of the originally quiet courtyard. They were obviously burly men who had just gotten up from the bed. Seeing Li Shuan's miserable state, they shouted in unison. With a cry, "Let go of the steward!" Then he swung his fists and moved towards the young man to besiege him.

The young man is Zhou Shi. He listened to Ning Yuan's order and wanted to take the steward for questioning, so he couldn't be blocked here.He has been practicing kung fu for some time, not only learned from Ning Yuan, but also asked Huyan Yuanchen for a few moves, where these rough country men can deal with it with a few sticks, a group of them can almost beat Zhou Shi's He didn't even touch the corner of his clothes, so he punched and flew his legs, and he knocked him down in two or three hits.

Li Shuan, who was still high-spirited, was stunned when he saw this scene!Those strong men are the martial masters he has been supporting all the time, relying on these martial masters, not to mention in the farm, even in Xianghe Town, it is also the capital for him to do his best, and no one dares to provoke him. He was settled so easily, lying on the ground howling all over the place, as if unable to get up, who is this guy who is carrying him!

"Good man... good man, spare your life!" Li Shuan was frightened, his legs trembled, and he began to beg for mercy. Zhou Shi snorted coldly, "Forgive me? Do you want to spare your life? Go and ask the young master yourself!" After finishing speaking, Zhou Shi ignored him, carried the fat man back to the main hall with strides, and threw him to Ning Yuan's feet with a flick of his hand.

Li Shuan was thrown to the ground, and when he raised his head in embarrassment, he saw a handsome young man in a simple plain robe, who was sitting on the main seat in the room and looking at him with a smile. The young man who frightened him was standing behind the young man. He was not stupid. He rolled his eyes and immediately understood the background of these people. The young man should be the young master from Jiangzhou.

Damn it, he always thought it was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old doll. This farm is so high that the emperor is far away, and the servants are all his confidantes. Thugs, the two sides of this pinch and swing are actually reversed.He could only kneel on the ground doglegs, and said with a trembling voice: "Little man...Little man Li Quan, see, I have seen the young master."

"Are you the manager here?" Ning Yuan's tone was calm, and there was no trace of anger.

Li Shuan gathered himself together, nodded and said: "Exactly, villain, villain was unwell just now, so I didn't come to see the young master right away, and I hope the young master will forgive me."

"Are you feeling unwell? But I just heard Guanshi Li howling outside, but he is very angry." Ning Yuan stood up, walked to Li Shuan's side, and looked down at him, "Guangshi Li wants to The little thief you took down, but has it been taken down yet?"

"Oh, master, there is no such thing as a petty thief, I am talking nonsense." Li Shuan took a peek at Zhou Shi who was standing there, "I guess, I think it's because I was sleepy and talking indiscriminately, Don't take it to heart, young master."

At this moment, those strong men who had been beaten to the ground by Zhou Shi seemed to have had enough rest, and rushed to the entrance of the main hall with sticks in their hands, but seeing Li Shuan's dog-legged appearance, they looked at me, I Look at you, neither advance nor retreat for a while.

"A bunch of bastards, the young master is here, don't you know how to pay your respects?" Li Shuan already knew that Ning Yuan couldn't do anything with these brutes. The group of strong men immediately threw away the things in their hands and knelt down on the ground.

"Young master, this guy is really a jerk. You have been waiting here for so long. It's useless for this kind of slave to stay in the village. It's better to just call him out." Bai Tan said beside Ning Yuan.

Li Shuan was shocked when he heard the words, "Master, I was wronged!" He kowtowed his head several times in a row, "I didn't mean to make the young master wait, I'm really unwell, the young master can punish me, please don't drive me out! "

He has been the steward of this farm for many years, and almost all his belongings are here, so how could he leave willingly.

Ning Yuan still laughed, but did not speak. The more he did not speak, the more guilty Li Shuan felt. Even the big men kneeling at the door couldn't help but feel uneasy. Shuan is no longer in charge here, where are they going to get money?

"Forget it, Manager Li, I'll give you half a stick of incense." Li Shuan was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and finally saw Ning Yuan sitting back on the main seat, and said, "During the half stick of incense, I want to see all the servants in the farm, and I won't hold you accountable for negligence if you do it well, do you understand?"

"Understand! Understood! Don't worry, young master, I'll do it right away!" Li Shuan nodded his head, and immediately trotted out of the main hall, leading the big men at the door to disappear.

"Young master, you're too cheap for them." Bai Tan said: "This dog slave is clearly trying to show face to you, so he should be dismissed from his position in charge and sent out, what else should he do?"

Ning Yuan glanced at Bai Tan, "If you drive him away, then who will take over the position of manager, Bai Tan, will you do it?"

"Young Master, why are you making fun of me!" Bai Tan stomped his feet.

"I'm telling the truth." Ning Yuan said seriously: "That guy has always been the manager here, and he is the most familiar with the farm, and there are still many places where he needs to be used, and have you seen the group of servants acting as thugs? Everyone listens to him, presumably the other servants in this village are similar, if he is expelled, let alone other affairs, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to re-discipline the servants here. What's more, I just When I came to Xianghe, I withdrew the manager of the Zhuangzi. If this news is passed back to the mansion, some people will surely catch me and spread it, saying that I am a dude, which will further confirm my bad reputation in Jiangzhou. , it’s better to keep this guy so he can do things better, but he has to be alerted and let him know what his duty is.”

Bai Tan nodded half-understood, and Huyan Yuanchen who was sitting on the side also smiled, "Miss Bai, don't worry, with Brother Ning's intelligence, he will never let himself suffer."

Bai Tan didn't speak, Ning Yuan turned his head and looked at him, "I haven't asked you yet, how long are you going to stay here, didn't you say yesterday that you came to Xianghe for other things to deal with?"

Huyan Yuanchen was stunned, he just lied casually yesterday in order not to let Ning Yuan know that he deliberately chased after him, and now he looks at Ning Yuan as if he wants to push someone away, but look at this Xianghe The town looked deserted, so there probably wouldn't be an inn, and he didn't want to sleep on the street, so he said cheekily: "There is always something to do, but I think there should be a lot of vacant rooms in this village. Brother Ning won't mind calling Let me, the idler, live in the last room."

Ning Yuan didn't know what Huyan Yuanchen was planning, but he didn't expect this person to look serious, his face was so thick that he wouldn't even blush, so he didn't bother to poke it, and didn't make any more noise.

The time for half a stick of incense could not be harmed, Li Shuan had already dressed neatly and waited respectfully in the yard with all the servants in the farm. When Ning Yuan walked out of the main hall, he saw the servants standing in two rows in the yard. More, twenty or so in total, a dozen or so strong men I have seen before, there are also a dozen or so people who look like handymen and a few dark-skinned cooks. Li Shuan stood at the front, nodded and bowed to Ning Yuan. : "In the past, when grain was still produced in Zhuangzi, there were hundreds of servants and tenants in total, but in the past few years, something happened to the field and no grain was produced, and the operation of the farm failed every year. If you want to use the money subsidized by the mansion, you can’t afford to support that many people, so more than half of them are dismissed, and only these are left, which can be regarded as guarding the farm from being desolate.”

After finishing speaking, Li Shuan presented several stacks of thick ledgers, "Young master came here for the first time today, and I know that the young master will definitely want to read this, so I brought it together."

Ning Yuan didn't expect that Li Shuan would take out the account book so frankly, which surprised him a little bit. Originally, he saw that Li Shuan had a fat head and big ears, so he must have been greedy for a lot of oil and water in the village, but now he looked at him. Very frank.

"Understood." Asking Bai Tan to take over the books, Ning Yuan said: "This time I will stay here for a long time, you go and clean up the house we live in."

"It's just been cleaned up." Li Shuan was also quick in handling things, and immediately said: "The master's room behind the main hall has always been vacant. Naturally, the young master lives there, but there is only one vacant room left. The young master's few attendants If you want to stay here, you have to squeeze with us."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Tan immediately quit, "What nonsense are you talking about, there is no reason why there is no house in such a big village, isn't there a lot of houses in a place as big as the backyard?"

Li Shuan made a bitter face, "Miss, I don't know, the backyard of Zhuangzi was separated last year, and the criminals who were exiled from the capital came to work here. This is what the lady meant. Many houses are empty, and they are lent to the imperial court, which saves the government the expense of building additional houses."

Hearing this, Ning Yuan took a few steps to the side, walked around the main hall and looked towards Zhuangzi's backyard. Sure enough, he saw a row of tall wooden fences blocking the junction of Zhuangzi's front yard and backyard. Through the gaps in the fence, faintly You can see a lot of people in rags walking back and forth on the other side.

"But one room, how do we divide it." Baimei's small face was wrinkled, "How can my sister and I squeeze together with men."

"Of course you can't squeeze in with men, so the vacant room will be for you two sisters." After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Shi again, "I have been served by Zhou Shi in the past few days, Zhou Shi can live with me " Finally, his eyes fell on Huyan Yuanchen, "As for you..." Ning Yuan shook his head and looked at Li Shuan again, "Is there really no other room?"

Li Shuan didn't know Huyan Yuanchen's identity, he only thought that this stern little brother was also Ning Yuan's guard like Zhou Shi, and muttered to himself why he had to come out of the room again for a servant, but he still had a smile on his face He said: "Nowadays everyone sleeps crowded together, and it's really hard to get out. If this little brother doesn't dislike me, I'm the only one living in my room. Why don't you squeeze with me?"

Huyan Yuanchen's back shivered inexplicably, he didn't want to be with this fat-headed Guanshi Li, and immediately said: "How dare you trouble Li Guanshi..." But before he finished speaking, Ning Yuan interrupted Said: "This is impossible. My guard suffers from nocturnal excursions. When he is in a bad mood, he will get sick. If he gets sick, he will kill people. If he is in the same room as you, Li Guanshi, maybe tomorrow morning, you will become a corpse." dead body."

"What..." Li Shuan's face turned pale, "Then..."

"It doesn't have to be a serious room, you just need a room where he can stay alone." Ning Yuan gave Huyan Yuanchen a sideways look.

"This...there is a room." Li Shuan thought for a while, "The firewood room by the side door is only half full of firewood, and it can barely sleep a person."

"Okay, you can go to sleep there." Ning Yuan said to Huyan Yuanchen with a smile that was not a smile: "If you get sick in the middle of the night and have nothing to chop, you can also look at the firewood to relieve boredom."

Huyan Yuanchen's face was weird, he could see that Ning Yuan was teasing him about the assassin he killed last night, he thought that Ning Yuan would have forgiven him for wiping his knees with his own hands. Unexpectedly, he is still brooding about it now.

"Your subordinate obeys." Huyan Yuanchen shook his head helplessly.

Ningfu.

"Tell me! Who the hell put this thing at the door of Madam's room!" Ning Ruhai sat angrily in the main hall of Ruining Courtyard, and all the servants of Ruining Courtyard knelt down in front of him, all pressing their heads dare not speak.

"With so many servants, no one saw who did it!" Ning Ruhai's voice raised another level, shaking the lid of the teacup on the table trembling slightly, Yan Shi sat on him with a pale face. Beside him, he tugged at his sleeve and said softly: "Master, forget it, it's okay to be a concubine after all."

"No, this matter must be investigated and found out." Ning Ruhai snorted coldly: "Madam's surprise is the second thing, I want to see which heinous person has the guts to bring this kind of dirty thing to my Ning Mansion Come!"

In the middle of the night last night, the Da Furen received a head in a brocade box. The news that she was so scared that she didn't sleep all night has spread throughout the house. Yes, of course he wanted to thoroughly investigate this matter, but he asked almost all the servants in the yard, but he was still at a loss. No one could tell where the brocade box came from. It seemed that when someone found out, The brocade box is already there, as if it just popped out of nowhere.

"A bunch of waste!" Ning Ruhai became really angry. The deaths of Liu Shi and Ning Xiang and the rumors outside had already made him very unhappy. How can he not be angry about such troublesome things.

Compared to Ning Ruhai's anger, Yan's heart was more apprehensive than frightened.

The owner of the head, after the initial shock had passed, was still recognized by her. It was Zhao Shan who she sent to assassinate Ning Yuan.

Now, there is no news that Ning Yuan has been dealt with, but the head of the assassin Zhao Shan was sent to him. It is clear what happened. The assassination has failed, and Zhao Gao's head was sent to him. Coming to her is obviously a warning to her!

Who did it, Ning Yuan?No, that kid is only 14 years old, and he only brought one attendant and two maids with him, so it is impossible for him to have this ability. Who else, could it be the Fourth Highness?Yan's whole body trembled, there was indeed such a possibility, could it be that the Fourth Highness knew that he was perfunctory him, so he was warning her?But one thing that doesn't make sense is that she can see that His Royal Highness doesn't want to see Ning Yuan, so why should he protect him?

If neither of these two conjectures is true, then there is only the last possibility, which is what His Royal Highness said, does the mysterious backstage behind that kid Ning Yuan really exist?

This is so ridiculous!

Yan Shi didn't want to believe her conjecture at all, but the more she thought about it, the more she thought about it. Otherwise, why would she explain that Zhao Shan, an experienced assassin who had served her for a long time, would fall for a 14-year-old assassin? In the hands of the boy!

Yan pressed her chest and suppressed the exclamation in her heart. Now is not the time to worry too much about this, she must persuade Ning Ruhai, otherwise if the investigation continues like this, Zhao Shan's identity is very likely to be caught. If someone with a heart follows the vine and pulls out the relationship between Zhao Shan and her, once the dirty water gets on his body, it will be difficult to wash it off.

With Mrs. Yan at the side persuading her in a soft voice, Ning Ruhai finally calmed down a little after getting angry, and seeing that the servants in the courtyard really didn't know what to ask, and it would be difficult to get any results if he continued to ask. Under Yan's persuasion, he went into the house to take a nap.

After watching Ning Ruhai fall asleep, Yan Shi came out of the room. She thought for a while, and said to Xu's mother behind her: "Xu's mother, follow me to Xianglian courtyard."

In the Xianglian Courtyard, Tang was sitting under the sun to fix the soles of Ning Yuan's shoes. Ning Xiner spread out several sheets of rice paper on the stone table to practice calligraphy. Elegant and agile, it is obvious that under Ning Yuan's teaching, Ning Xin'er has achieved some success in calligraphy, and it is impossible to tell that those characters were written by a girl who is not yet ten years old.

Ning Xin'er practiced writing on several sheets of paper in a row, and finally got tired of writing. She stretched, rubbed her eyes and moved closer to Tang's side. She shook Tang's arm and said, "These days, my mother always I'm getting the soles of my brother's shoes, and I don't want to make new clothes for Xin'er, my mother is so far west."

Tang laughed, "Don't you girl like your brother the most? Why are you jealous of him now?" She stretched out her finger and tapped Ning Xiner's forehead, "You don't know, after the new year your brother will be so jealous."
