The General's Mansion has always protected this little princess very well over the years.

Ning Wangshan: "Wanxi."

Ningguta. Wanxi

This name was personally chosen by Ning Wangshan.

"Oh my, what a wonderful name!" Yu Hualing exclaimed.

There was a beautiful woman, graceful and charming.

Homophones, meaning the same thing.

Just hearing the name made Yu Hualing like it very much. She thought that she must be a gentle and generous girl who could please people with every word and smile.

Thinking this, Yu Hualing became even more eager to meet this girl.

"I wonder when Wanxi will come to the General's Mansion. I hope the old general will let me know when she does. I really want to see her."

Although Yu Hualing knew that this young princess was in the general's mansion, she naturally couldn't say it outright.

Otherwise, the intention would be too obvious.

Ning Wangshan then said, "Hua Ling, you've come at the right time. My little granddaughter is here right now."

"Really?" Yu Hualing chuckled, her face beaming. "That's quite a coincidence."

Ning Wangshan naturally went along with Yu Hualing's wishes and called out, "Lan Ma, quickly go and call Wanxi here."

Lan's mother nodded and turned to leave.

At this moment, Yu Hualing brought up a few matters of internal affairs, and as she talked, the topic naturally turned to the position of governor. Ning Wangshan, of course, understood and asked about Jiang Yingchi.

Yu Hualing said, "It's quite a coincidence that Yingchi recently returned to Manzhou."

“That kid is busy all the time, and I haven’t seen him for almost half a year.” Ning Wangshan had a very good impression of Jiang Yingchi. In his eyes, Jiang Yingchi was a very capable and accomplished person.

The mere position of governor... In Ning Wangshan's view, Jiang Yingchi's abilities allowed him to hold a position even higher than that of governor.

However, women's vision is never that long-term, nor do they dare to look that far ahead.

Ning Wangshan then deliberately brought up the topic: "I heard that Ying Chi was in Beicheng, China before? Is he planning to quit?" Although it was impossible, Ning Wangshan asked this question on purpose.

Jiang Yingchi's position in Manzhou is not one that can be easily relinquished.

Yu Hualing maintained an appropriate demeanor: "The old general must have heard it from others; there's no such thing."

Yu Hualing wanted to avoid it, but Ning Wangshan wanted to urge her on: "I've heard that Yingchi and the Qi family are getting quite close."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hualing's smile froze, and her heart skipped a beat.

How did the old general know?

However, as long as she denies it, then it's not true.

He then said, "General, you jest. Yingchi has been so busy these past few years that I've hardly ever seen him. As for the Qi family? I've never even heard of them. There's really no such thing."

Ning Wangshan chuckled, picked up the teacup, blew on the tea leaves floating on top, tested the temperature with his lips, took a sip, let out a satisfied sigh, and put down the teacup: "It seems I was ignorant."

Yu Hualing's smile remained somewhat stiff.

His smile looked completely unnatural.

It seems the old general knew, but he didn't point it out directly to save face for her. This old woman, on the other hand, seemed a bit rude.

After careful consideration, I decided to tell the truth: "After all, he's a young man, and I don't know much about what Yingchi does outside."

This statement is an admission of guilt, and it also gives him a way out.

Then he said something to Ning Wangshan: "To be honest, the relationship between our Jiang family and the Qi family is that my grandson got close to the Qi family's youngest daughter that time, and it has nothing to do with Yingchi."

Ning Wangshan followed up with her question, "What do you mean?"
