Chapter 41 The Non-Existent Noble

Wei Yanhua couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up in a hurry and was about to leave.

But he had taken two steps before he stopped and turned back, saying, "I'll have someone prepare what you want."

Cheng Nianying nodded, and before she could even say a word, she watched Wei Yanhua disappear outside the courtyard gate. Madam Zou and the palace maids from the Prince's Mansion, who were standing guard outside, couldn't help but peek in.

Seeing that Cheng Nianying was still sitting there steadily, they looked away again.

"Don't you need to follow?" Cheng Nianying asked the girl from the Meng family.

The Meng family girl frowned and whispered, "No need, Yanhua has long been used to it. She never lets me follow her."

“Always on fire?”

"Not always. Sometimes I just smash things or scratch myself." The girl from the Meng family suddenly stopped talking when she said this.

Then she glanced at Cheng Nianying's expression and saw that there was no trace of strangeness on her face. Then she continued, "People outside always say that Aunt Jiang has a strange personality and some say she is possessed by evil spirits. In fact, she is just sick. Yanhua keeps a close eye on her and rarely shows her in public. But somehow the news got out, and as a result, no one wants to play with Yanhua anymore."

"It's mania." Cheng Nianying said.

"What?"

"It's mania, isn't that what the doctor said?" There were many people in the building who suffered from mania, especially those who had just killed someone for the first time, or those who had killed too many people. They were very susceptible to this condition. Cheng Nianying had seen it so often that it was no surprise.

"I don't know. I've consulted a doctor and he's prescribed some medicine, but it doesn't seem to be of any use." The girl from the Meng family shook her head.

"Why were you crying when I came?"

Miss Meng didn't expect the conversation to suddenly turn to herself. She wiped her face with a handkerchief shyly and said, "My family wants to arrange a marriage for me."

"You won't give you a dowry?"

"My mother did leave some for me, but... I'm afraid people will laugh if I tell you. I don't want to get married."

The Meng family girl sighed deeply, worry lingering between her brows and eyes: "Yanhua told me to be careful, I'm afraid the maids and servants around me stole my personal belongings and gave them to other men."

"Is there something like this?" Cheng Nianying secretly took note of it.

"But who can guard against thieves for a thousand days? What's more, my subordinates never listen to me, so I can't guard against them at all. Sometimes I think it's really boring..." The girl from the Meng family stopped talking after she finished speaking.

Cheng Nianying grabbed her wrist.

The girl from the Meng family stammered, "What, what?"

"Your bones are a little soft, your qi is deficient and your body is weak, so naturally you don't have the energy to take care of other things." Cheng Nianying commented.

The girl from the Meng family blushed: "I..."

Cheng Nianying: "Pinch me hard."

The girl from the Meng family lowered her eyes and glanced at her fair and smooth wrist. How could she dare?

Seeing that she didn't move, Cheng Nianying squeezed her hard.

The girl from the Meng family screamed in pain and stood still with her five fingers spread out.

Cheng Nianying was puzzled. "As the saying goes, even a rabbit bites when it's anxious. Why don't you just pinch me?"

"I dare not." Tears were hanging from the corners of the eyes of the girl from the Meng family.

Cheng Nianying: "I told you to pinch, so just do it."

The Meng family girl could only pinch Cheng Nianying with all her strength, leaving a light red mark. But Cheng Nianying didn't even frown.

"You're not very strong. I'll practice more when I get home."

"How do I practice?"

"If you're thinking of someone you hate, just pinch them."

Cheng Nianying reached out her hand to her neck and pressed it against her throat: "If you pinch here, you don't even need to use too much strength."

The girl from the Meng family's heart skipped a beat, and for some reason she felt extremely scared.

Like a mouse meeting a cat.

Cheng Nianying withdrew her hand and tapped her knuckles, ears, and other places with her fingers... "It's the same with these places. Try it."

Mother Zou looked in again at this moment, her throat choked, and she couldn't help muttering, "What's going on?"

Mother Zou simply walked closer and bowed, "Princess, Miss Wei hasn't returned yet. Should we stay here?"

Cheng Nianying: "Let's go." "Next time, if I don't call you, you are not allowed to come in without permission."

Mother Zou hesitated to speak, but she was obedient. She nodded and said, "Yes."

As she was about to leave, she couldn't help but take another look at the girl from the Meng family.

Miss Meng's eyes were still swollen, and she looked delicate and tearful. Most men in the world could not resist this kind of beauty.

But what's the matter with the princess touching me all the time?

Mother Zou held Cheng Nianying's arm, and the Wei family's servants immediately came forward to lead them out.

The Wei family's house was far smaller than the Prince's Mansion and had a simpler structure. After walking a few steps from Wei Yanhua's courtyard, they passed by her mother Jiang's courtyard.

The courtyard gate was wide open.

Cheng Nianying took a quick glance and saw neither Minghuo nor Wei Yanhua. It was just a crowded place with several people pushing and pulling each other.

The man's powerful voice rang out, "Your mother should have been sent to the temple long ago. She was possessed by an evil spirit and should have been saved by the Buddha long ago. How could she have ended up like this?"

"No need to say so much today. You must be sent there. Your family has spoiled you too much in the past..."

The words fell.

Two nimble maids were dragging a woman out, stumbling and bumping into Cheng Nianying.

The woman's hair was completely shaved off and she had no accessories on her body. If she hadn't been wearing women's clothes, it would have been difficult to tell her gender at first glance.

She let out a roar of anger, rushed towards the old woman on the right, and bit her neck.

The old woman hurriedly pushed her down and said, "Look at this! How can this person look like a human being?"

The people inside gritted their teeth and said, "He's tied up!"

Two more servants rushed out from the yard and jumped up, pulling the rope.

Mother Zou's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could almost pinch a mosquito to death: "Oh, how can you be so rude?"

The servants of the Wei family who led the way all had purple and red faces. They probably didn't want the princess to see such an embarrassing side of them.

So he quickly turned sideways to block it.

The noise here was also heard by the people inside.

The man asked loudly, "Who's outside?"

"Sir, a distinguished guest is here." The Wei family servant outside lowered his voice, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"A noble? Oh..." The man laughed. "Yanhua, is this the noble who no longer exists and is used to intimidate your grandparents?"

"I'd like to see..."
