Xia Ning said, "Although Yu Qizhe is young, he is mature and shrewd, and he is also good at judging the situation. Yang Xu and his son may really fall on him."

Although he said this, he was thinking in his heart, "How could the governor be considered a teacher in the past? He just kept those two people around to amuse himself. Lu Jin has been in the Jinyiwei for many years, but he is still just a small Qianzong. He is really useless. Yu Qizhe does not have the stupidity of a scholar. He knows how to flatter, but his foundation is too shallow. It is not easy to shake Yang Xu and his son.

Cheng Ying did not comment. He did not care whether Yu Qizhe could bring down Yang Xu and his son. However, if Yu Qizhe's motive for targeting Yang Xu and his son was really as he guessed, that it was for Liu Yuning, that heartless girl, then it was worth pondering.

Cheng Ying tapped the table with his knuckles and asked, "I remember that the soldiers sent to Qingzhou to investigate the little girl from the Liu family said that she had married Yu Qizhe for a wedding, but the two were only in name only. Is that true?"

Xia Ning nodded, "The guard did say so at the time, but do you need me to go find the guard's note?"

Cheng Ying paused for a moment, "No need." He said with a half-smile, "You said Yu Qizhe wanted to overthrow Yang Xu and his son, is it to vent his anger on the little girl?"

Xia Ning had been with Cheng Ying for many years and had a quick mind. He quickly realized that Cheng Ying was referring to the incident in which Zhu Yu drugged Miss Liu San in the East Palace. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Cheng Ying sneered, "I didn't know that so many people were thinking about my adopted daughter. Do you think Gu Yun and that ungrateful little wolf are more suitable, or Yu Qizhe?"

Although Cheng Ying was moody, Xia Ning had been with Cheng Ying for a long time and could hear the coldness in his tone. He said expressionlessly, "Young Marquis Gu is sincere and open-minded, while Yu Qizhe is calm and good at scheming. Both of them have their merits, but whether they are a good match or not depends on who Miss Yuning prefers."

Cheng Ying fiddled with the sandalwood Buddhist beads on her wrist and pondered for a while. She always felt that the little girl seemed to treat Yu Qizhe better and was closer to him. She introduced Liu Yu to him and paid for the house. However, she treated Gu Yun with much coldness and courtesy.

In Cheng Ying's opinion, neither of these two people is a good match for the little girl.

Although Gu Yun pretended to be a dandy and foolish person to deceive Emperor Mingzheng, their Annan Marquis Mansion was not very smart. With the military power in their hands and Annan Marquis having guarded Lingnan for many years, he could have established himself as king in Lingnan long ago without being constrained by Emperor Mingzheng. However, Annan Marquis did not rebel for a long time and left his wife and children in the capital to suffer humiliation for many years.

Yu Qizhe is a man of vicious character, too scheming, and too greedy. The little girl has to suffer a lot following him.

Cheng Ying laughed at herself. What happened to him? He just adopted a daughter like a cat or a dog, but he really treated himself as an elder and worried about the marriage of that heartless little girl! The little ungrateful wolf was having a good time outside, why did he worry about it?

It's just that I can see some delicate shadows in that girl.

The ungrateful little wolf turned his back on him, so why should he keep thinking about him? It was just a shadow, and there were plenty of them if he wanted to find them.

The steward came to report that the luggage had been packed. Cheng Ying lifted up the hem of her scarlet dress and said, "Let's go."

Xia Ning followed Cheng Ying to the door, bowed and said respectfully, "I respectfully send you off, Governor."

Liang Wushuang, who heard the noise in the carriage, quickly lifted the curtain and called out happily but nervously, "Superintendent."

Cheng Ying glanced at her calmly and stepped into the carriage.
