Chapter 137 Shen Qingbai was silent

After all, Xu Wanqing was the eldest daughter of the Xu family and had come to Pingning with his group. Xie Yunqing patiently asked, "How is Miss Xu Ying?"

Xu Wanqing pointed at Shen Ning and gritted her teeth: "Xu Ying was dragged away by those slaves. Shen Ning happened to pass by. She cried for help, but Shen Ning just sat there and watched, letting her be dragged away by the slaves... She was humiliated one after another. If she hadn't pretended to be dead, she would have died long ago."

She looked at Shen Ning viciously: "How could you do such a thing as watching someone die without helping them? Are you still human?"

Just as Shen Ning was about to speak, Xie Yunqing stepped forward and blocked her behind him: "Then may I ask Miss Xu, where were you when your sister Xu Ying was in trouble?"

"I……"

Xu Wanqing froze. "I, I had already left the Xu residence by then. If I had been there, I would definitely not have stood by and watched him die."

Xie Yunqing spoke in a deep voice, "We both know the situation at that time. It was lucky that everyone could take care of themselves. Who would have the energy to care about others? My daughter risked her life to save me, which has already made me extremely distressed. Do you still want her to take risks, abandon me as her mother, and disregard her own safety to save your unrelated sister?"

Xie Yunqing looked at Xu Wanqing: "Miss Xu, you were so anxious to escape that you didn't even bother saving your own sister, but you came here to blame my daughter, an outsider, for not saving your good sister. If my daughter isn't a human being, then Miss Xu, you are worse than a pig or a dog."

“Mrs. Shen…”

Xu Wanqing was furious and wanted to speak, but Shen Ning sneered, "What do you mean by 'you'? Don't you remember calling you here to make a scene? Why are you rushing to greet me? Get out!"

Xu Wanqing was about to retort when a figure approached like lightning and threw her out of the door without any explanation.

Qi Yue rushed in and said to Xu Wanqing coldly: "The village master told you to get out, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"you!"

Xu Wanqing was almost mad: "How dare you attack me."

As she was about to rush back into the house, July reached out and pushed Xu Wanqing down the stairs.

Xu Wanqing screamed and fell down. Qiyue looked innocently: "Ah, I'm sorry, Miss Xu. The county lord asked me to help you. Why can't you stand steadily? Is it because your mouth is too big and the burden is too heavy?"

Qi Yue kept calling Xu Wanqing "Country Lady" and forced her to the point where she couldn't speak. Finally, she glared at Chen Ning viciously and turned away.

Seeing Xu Wanqing leave, Qiyue turned around and rushed to Shen Ning, pulling Shen Ning and immediately burst into tears: "Miss, you have suffered, it's all because of my uselessness."

"Wuwu, it's my fault that I failed to protect you, young lady. I caused you to be abducted by that bitch Mu Yao. I deserve to die...Miss, hit me, slap me a few times."

Shen Ning comforted her gently: "Okay, don't cry, it was my own carelessness that led the wolf into the house, and I'm fine."

"That Mu Yao was so evil and ungrateful. Fortunately he is dead, otherwise I would have torn him into pieces."

Qiyue sobbed and cursed, "A grown man pretending to be a woman to deceive others' sympathy is so disgusting. He used the kindness of a young lady to harm you. He deserves to die without a burial place."

Shen Ning sighed helplessly, but her mood was a little complicated.

If it weren't for protecting her, Mu Yao wouldn't have been seriously injured and fallen... I can only say that human nature is really too complicated.

Thinking of that scene, she couldn't help but think of the arrows Xu Zhiyi shot at her mercilessly.

In that situation, not being threatened was the right choice, but she didn't expect Xu Zhiyi to be so cruel. She didn't want to be threatened, so she killed her herself.

The arrow was indeed shot straight at her...

Not wanting Qiyue to continue crying, Shen Ning changed the subject and asked her, "Are Yuanyue and the others okay?"

Qiyue pursed her lips and hummed, "It's okay. They were poisoned more severely than me and haven't recovered yet... They all feel guilty. We were supposed to protect the young lady, but at the critical moment, we did nothing. And now the young lady has to risk her own life to save us."

Shen Ning was helpless: "Don't let your imagination run wild. I've already said it. This time the fault is mine. I was too credulous and let the wolf into the house. I don't blame you."

After she finished speaking, she said to Xie Yunqing, "You should take a break too. Just have someone look after your sister. I also need to take care of my family, so I'll be going back now."

Knowing that Shen Ning wanted to go back, Xie Yunqing finally resisted the urge to dissuade her. He sent her to the door with reluctance in his eyes: "Ning Ning, go slowly and pay attention to your safety."

Shen Ning responded and got on the carriage. Wu Yue whipped the horse and the carriage slowly drove away.

The streets were silent, and every household had their doors and windows closed. The entire Pingning City seemed to have been killed by frost, as if the weather had suddenly become colder.

After returning to her home in Yongping Lane, Shen Ning breathed a sigh of relief. After tossing and turning all night, she was extremely sleepy. She went to see Yuan Yue and the others and confirmed that they were fine. Then she simply washed up and went to sleep with peace of mind.

In the evening, Xiao Nanchen arrived wearing soft armor.

Shen Qingbai was standing guard outside Shen Ning's room. Seeing Xiao Nanchen, his expression was a little complicated. He stood up and clasped his fists, "Your Highness Prince Ding..."

He never imagined that the Anang brother he had been with day and night was actually the famous Prince Ding!

Xiao Nanchen raised his hand to stop him from bowing: "Just call me the same as before, and keep calling me the same as before."

Shen Qingbai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Not wanting to wake up Shen Ning, they spoke in very low voices.

"That Chen Nian actually wanted to harm my sister... If you ask me, it's better not to go to that broken capital. These people are so bad, who knows what bad waters may come out of them."

But he knew that what he said was also an angry remark. After all, Xie Yunqing was Shen Ning's biological mother, and it was not easy for her to give up easily. Moreover, with Shen Ning's personality, she had been calculated by Shen Nian, and it was impossible for her to back down like this.

Maybe she hadn't originally planned to go, but after Shen Nian's incident, she insisted on going.

Xiao Nanchen didn't say anything. Shen Qingbai suddenly thought of something and suddenly became a little nervous: "Brother Anan, you...you don't want to kill Shen Nian, do you?"

“I have thought about it.”

Xiao Nanchen spoke slowly: "But Chen Ning won't agree to it. She has her own way of dealing with it."

Shen Qingbai breathed a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but say, "Brother Anan, you are a little different from what the rumors say."

The rumored Prince Ding is strong, cold-blooded, and self-centered. How could he be so considerate of others?

Xiao Nanchen looked up, and Shen Qingbai coughed lightly: "Well...does Sister know your identity?"

Without waiting for Xiao Nanchen's answer, Shen Qingbai hesitated and expressed his concerns: "Sister likes you. If she knew that you were actually His Highness Prince Ding, I'm afraid she would feel uneasy..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Nanchen's expression froze slightly: "You don't need to mention those words again in the future."

Shen Qingbai uttered an "ah," then suddenly frowned and turned cold. "Yes, you are now the high and mighty Prince Ding. My sister is naturally not worthy of you. I will never speak nonsense again."

Seeing Shen Qingbai's misunderstanding, Xiao Nanchen was filled with helplessness. Even though he didn't want to, he had to speak in a deep voice: "She doesn't like me."

The indifference on Shen Qingbai's face instantly turned into surprise and suspicion, and then Xiao Nanchen looked away and pursed his lips to hide the embarrassment on his face.

"I misunderstood before. Your sister...has no intention towards me."

Shen Qingbai was silent.

Shen Qingbai didn't know what to say...
