Chapter 554 Failed Exit from the City

Zhou Chengxing thought about it seriously for a moment and said in a low voice,

"The Shen family boy."

Su Jingshu nodded, somewhat satisfied with Zhou Chengxing's answer this time.

"To tell you the truth, Yunrou mentioned it to me a few days ago. She said that Mu Yang told her that he was interested in Ning Bao."

Yun Rou originally planned to propose marriage, but Mu Yang said there was no rush. Ning Bao was still young and hadn't figured out about relationships yet, and he was afraid that proposing marriage directly would scare Ning Bao away.

He said he was willing to wait, to wait for Ningbao to realize her own feelings, and if one day Ningbao discovered she didn't like him, he was willing to let go.

Zhou Chengxing was fairly satisfied with what his wife said, but he didn't say it aloud.

"Hmph! That kid is all talk and no action. He always talks a good game. Anyway, I'm telling you this: if he ever bullies Ningbao or makes her sad, I'll skin him alive."

No one can bully my daughter, not even myself. But you can, my wife. You are her mother, and you suffered a lot to give birth to her.

But honey, please don't scold Ningbao too much. Girls are easily embarrassed...

Su Jingshu looked at Zhou Chengxing, who kept nagging on and on, and pointed helplessly outside.

"Husband, it's getting late. If you really can't sleep, go to the yard and practice a couple of sets of boxing."

Otherwise, you can go to the study to handle official documents, or if that doesn't work, you can find a few guards to practice with...

Anyway, I'm going to sleep now, do as you please.....................

Upon hearing Su Jingshu say she wanted to sleep, Zhou Chengxing quickly came over.

"Wife, how can your husband not stay with you when you want to sleep?"

As Zhou Chengxing spoke, he took off his outer garment and walked towards the bedside.

.........................

Inside Ning'an Pavilion.

Shen Muyang looked at Ning Bao intently.

"The Emperor vomited blood, and Consort Liu happened to see it. She will probably make a move."

Ning Bao was stunned for a moment.

When did this happen?

I didn't hear my dad mention it when I got home today!

"Perhaps the prince was too excited to see you and forgot to say it."

By the way, I just received news that... there might be some action over there.

"Talk to Aunt Su tomorrow and find an excuse to take her, my mother, and Aunt Xue to stay at a country estate in the suburbs for a few days."

Ning Bao thought for a moment and nodded.

“That’s easy. I bought a manor outside the city because I thought my grandparents wouldn’t be used to living in the city when they come to visit.”

I happen to have some free time lately, so I was thinking of going to stay at the estate for a while. I'll have someone tidy it up properly so my grandma and the others can stay there when they come."

Shen Muyang nodded.

"Alright, I'll send you more bodyguards..."

Ning Bao shook her head.

"Brother Muyang, no need. I have Leng Bing and the others by my side, and my mother and Aunt Gu also have bodyguards."

Don't worry, I'm here. I'll protect them.

If something truly happens in the capital, you and your father will need people by your side even more. Historically, changes of imperial power have always been bloody. Alas! I hope the casualties can be minimized.

Shen Muyang held Ning Bao's hand and comforted her.
