Chapter 169

"I'm not feeling well, so I won't go over." Yining stood up and smiled.

"Let's not talk about anything else. When Sister Lian goes to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, she must not forget us!" Xiao Zhou said with a smile. Everyone in the room was enthusiastically discussing what would happen after Luo Yilian got married.

After the wedding procession arrived, a maid brought in lotus seed soup, and everyone in the room drank a bowl. It was a symbol of good luck. At this time, the women in the family would go to have lunch, waiting for Luo Yilian and Aunt Qiao. Yining stood up and walked out, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was far away from her room. Zhenzhu supported her, but she saw that the old woman Wang hurried over from behind: "Third Madam, Third Madam, wait a minute! Our Sixth Miss has something to tell Third Madam!"

Yi Ning glanced at her: "What's wrong with her?"

"Sixth Miss has lost a pair of jade bracelets that she will wear when she gets married. Please come with me to take a look!" Mrs. Wang said in a very anxious tone.

Why is she so troublesome! Yi Ning was thoughtful and said to Zhenzhu, "Come with me." Then she let Wang Pozi lead the way. When the two of them arrived outside a wing room, Wang Pozi suddenly turned around and smiled at Zhenzhu: "Miss, is it inconvenient for you to go in?"

Before Zhenzhu could react, she was suddenly struck hard on the back of her neck by the old woman Wang. Yining took a step back and was about to call for help, as people were everywhere outside the wing room. But the old woman quickly caught up with her and covered her mouth. Yining struggled and kicked her, but she was not supposed to be trapped by the old woman. But for some reason, Yining began to feel dizzy and had no strength to struggle or even shout, and then she fainted.

Mrs. Wang picked her up, opened the door of the side room and hid her in it. Inside was a box for Yilian to take away, and she hid her in the box.

Wang Po's heart was pounding like a drum. She had been trained countless times. When she emerged from the wing room, she saw some maids approaching with smiles. Wang Po felt that everything was perfect. She was about to take the dowry box out. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. This Ningyuan Marquis was truly absurd. He said he wanted to marry the Sixth Miss, but he clearly said he wanted Mrs. Luo San!

She regained her composure and walked towards Luo Yilian's house to say goodbye.

The dowry box had to be sent out of the house first. After bidding farewell to Luo Yilian, Wang Po looked at the dowry and walked to the door of the hanging flower gate with the Luo family's servants carrying the box, but was stopped by the guards.

"Stop, where are you taking this?" the guard said bluntly.

Mrs. Wang said in a rather arrogant tone, "This is our sixth young lady's dowry. Why, you won't even let the dowry leave the house?"

"If it's just a dowry, she can naturally leave the house." A slow and unhurried voice sounded.

Mrs. Wang's face changed slightly as she saw two people approaching from a distance, one in front and one behind. She didn't recognize the young man behind, but the one in front was Luo Shenyuan, the Minister of Works! How could she not recognize him? Her heart was pounding, and she felt that she might have been discovered. She forced herself to remain calm, her expression showing no sign of what was going on. "What does this mean, Lord Luo?"

Luo Shenyuan smiled slowly: "This is the Luo Mansion, and the mansion is full of secret guards. Do you think your every move can escape the eyes of the secret guards?"

Luo Shenyuan waved his hand and said, "Open the box, tie up this woman, and tie up the other one for me as well."

Seven or eight boxes were opened, and Luo Shenyuan personally carried Yining out. She was hidden among a pile of soft and comfortable silk, and the box had a vent left for breathing. But she was unconscious, her head leaning weakly against his arm. This old woman was really capable. Luo Shenyuan walked up to her and asked, "I'm telling you now. If you tell the truth, you will suffer less. How did Madam faint?"

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and refused to answer, but the guards held her tightly with sticks. Someone raised his hand and slapped her twice, showing no mercy. Mrs. Wang felt dizzy and just as she raised her head, Luo Shenyuan asked again, "How did you faint?"

Old woman Wang still didn't answer, so Luo Shenyuan said, "Take her to the torture chamber in the west." After all, it wasn't convenient to torture her there. After they carried her there, someone came trotting over and said, "Sir, the old woman said she added medicine to the lotus seed soup. When she was serving the soup, she shook her handkerchief and it got in."

Cheng Lang watched silently from behind for a while and said, "Lord Luo has everything here!" He even prepared a torture chamber.

He came today specifically to remind Luo Shenyuan to pay attention to the dowry, but looking at Luo Shenyuan's expression, he knew it clearly even if he didn't remind him.

Luo Shenyuan curled his lips and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I have to thank Mr. Cheng this time." There was indeed something wrong with those two old women, although he had indeed expected it.

Luo Shenyuan took Yi Ning to Jiashu Hall. Knowing it was a drug, he fed her some soup, and she woke up soon after. Yi Ning opened her eyes dazedly and saw Luo Shenyuan. "Third brother?" She suddenly remembered, "It was that old woman who knocked Zhenzhu unconscious..."

Lu Jiaxue really wanted to kidnap her again!

"I know. Pearl has been found, and the two women have been apprehended." Luo Shenyuan said, "You should get some rest. The lotus seed soup contains a drug, so you might be dizzy for a while."

The drug did have some aftereffects. Yi Ning rubbed his temples, leaned against the pillow, and asked, "Third brother, you've been keeping an eye on those two women for a long time, right?"

"Well, but your cousin Cheng also came today. He said there was something wrong with Luo Yilian's dowry." Luo Shenyuan said calmly, "You haven't had dinner yet, otherwise I'll teach you how to bring it in?"

"No need. I probably didn't use much of the medicine. I don't feel anything." Yi Ning said, "There's a happy event in the mansion today, and there are many relatives visiting. If I haven't seen them for a long time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain if others ask."

Luo Shenyuan thought that since the two old women had been captured, he nodded and accompanied her to the front hall for lunch.
