Chapter 16 She Hasn’t Yet Taken a Good Look at the Bustling Capital
After the Deng couple promised Han Qiongyue that she would no longer worry about the broken railing, Deng Youning helped Han Qiongyue back to her room to rest.
Grandma was also very tired after working all day today.
Looking at Han Qiongyue's wrinkled face, Deng Youning felt very distressed.
She is so unfilial that she cannot let her grandmother enjoy her old age in peace!
When Deng Youning returned to Qiuyue Waterside Pavilion, it was already the second watch.
As soon as she entered the room, she sensed a strong murderous intent.
"You guys step back first."
She dismissed several maids around her, and after they left, she used her inner strength to close the door.
The huge fluctuation of internal force caused a gust of wind to blow in the room instantly, causing the flame on the candlestick to sway continuously.
"Who is here? Come out and see me!"
Deng Youning asked in a cold voice.
As soon as she entered the room, she noticed that there was someone in the room.
The man had murderous intentions towards her.
And his kung fu is not inferior to hers.
But now, in such a short time, the murderous intent has disappeared.
Deng Youning quickly searched the room at the side.
There is no trace of human beings.
However, in Luo Yu's room, there was no movement of the doors and windows. How could this bold bandit disappear out of thin air?
She couldn't figure it out.
There are so many strange things happening in this Qiuyue Water Pavilion!
"Dong Dong Dong~"
"Miss, it's me."
There was a knock on the door.
Hearing Yingshi's voice, Deng Youning let her in.
"I just heard from the maid that you drove everyone out, but is there anything you haven't done well?"
With Yingshi's keen sense, she naturally saw that something was wrong.
Deng Youning shook her head.
What happened just now was too weird, and she didn't intend to tell anyone else.
"Nothing."
"It's getting late, you all should go down and get some rest."
Yingshi, who has work in mind, is very diligent.
"Miss, let me make your bed."
When it comes to serving Deng Youning, the maids appointed by the old lady must not be careless at all.
Deng Youning removed her makeup by herself.
While I was taking off my coat, a person suddenly flew in from the window.
Ying Shi swiftly stood in front of Deng Youning.
Deng Youning wanted to put on her clothes hurriedly, but after seeing who was coming, she just casually revealed her inner clothes.
"Hey, in the middle of the night, a brother breaks into his sister's bedroom. Do you want to do something?"
After hearing what she said, Deng Yi became furious and his face was full of different colors.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
He shouted loudly, and quickly stepped forward, wanting to fight with Yingshi.
Deng Youning hurriedly pulled Yingshi and turned around.
Deng Yi came up empty-handed.
He became even angrier, but did nothing more.
"Deng Youning, are you very proud now?"
"He hurt Lian'er so badly, and he also planned to destroy our entire Duke's Mansion."
"Mom and Dad told me everything that happened just now. It was clearly you who destroyed the railing!"
His eyes were filled with viciousness.
Because of anger, his facial features became hideous and distorted.
Deng Youning stood aside and looked at him quietly.
She had already thought about these things at today's family recognition banquet, even if Deng Zheng and Gu stopped causing trouble for her under the coercion of her grandmother.
Deng Yi, who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, will never give up.
After saying these harsh words, Deng Yi actually suppressed his anger.
"Deng Youning, I know my martial arts skills are not as good as yours and I can't beat you."
"I won't touch you these days, but we'll see after five days!"
Deng Yi said something harsh, glared at Deng Youning, and then climbed out the window to leave.
His kung fu is not as good as Deng Youning's, but it is not too low either.
It was normal that the servants didn't notice when I sneaked into the courtyard.
Five days later it will be the fifteenth of this month.
Deng Youning knew that her grandmother had the habit of worshiping Buddha and would attend the Dharma Assembly on the 15th of every month.
Gu’s parents’ home is not far from the Duke’s Mansion, both are in the capital city.
She would go home to visit her parents on the 15th of every month.
Seeing Deng Youning thinking, Ying Shi told her what she knew:
"I have learned that the palace will hold a banquet to send off the Nanxin envoys on the 15th of this month. I am afraid that the master will not be at home."
Deng Youning nodded.
She finally understood that Deng Yi was taking advantage of the fact that his parents and grandmother were not around.
But he was really too stupid.
Knowing that the other party had set an ambush, Deng Youning would definitely not sit in the mansion and wait for death.
She can also go out for a walk.
It just so happened that his martial arts skills were wasted in his previous life, and he was trapped in a deep mansion for two years.
She hasn't even had a good look at this bustling capital city.
*
fifteen.
Early in the morning, after seeing Han Qiongyue off, Deng Youning went back to her room and changed into a light dress.
She first asked Yingshi to use Qinggong to fly out of the house and rent a carriage.
Then he knocked out several doormen at the back door.
She wanted to move her one thousand taels of silver and some valuable jewelry out of the house and find a reliable bank to store them.
Ever since someone disappeared out of thin air in his room on the night of the family reunion banquet, and Deng Yi dodged many servants and climbed in through the window, Deng Youning had already planned to transfer the money.
How ironic.
She would rather trust strangers than her loved ones.
She had sneaked out of the house two days ago and found out about a reliable money house.
It is owned by the Qingzhou Mu family.
After saving the money, Deng Youning took Ying Shi to the most luxurious restaurant in Beijing for dinner.
Standing on the second floor, you can see the most prosperous street scenes in the capital and the winding moat in the distance.
"Girls, how about a pot of peach blossom Sanqing dew?"
“This is a seasonal special of our store.”
The waiter recommended the menu to them.
Deng Youning glanced at the diners around her.
It’s true. There is a bottle of pink fruit wine in a transparent glass cup on almost every table.
"Okay, let's try it."
Deng Youning agreed readily.
Only ten meters away from their seats, two men in gorgeous clothes and with extraordinary manners were sitting opposite each other drinking.
"Brother Yi is really bold. If a vassal king leaves his fiefdom without permission, he will be punished for treason."
Li Tianzhuo's tone was deep, like a compliment, but also like he was worried about the other person.
"So, I can only operate in the dark."
"Brother Lao Li will have to take care of my cousin and my great-aunt."
Jun Chenyi held the fan in his hand and bowed slightly to Li Tianzhuo.
Li Tianzhuo smiled indifferently.
Does he need to say these words?
"It's been fifteen days since Ningning came back. I'm sure the prince knows all about how the Deng family treated her and the old lady."
"I don't know, does Your Majesty have an answer to my previous suggestion?"
Jun Chenyi is the ninth prince of the current dynasty. In the royal family, he is almost an invisible person.
His mother died early, and he was not valued, so he was sent to a very poor fiefdom at an early age.
If it weren't for his maternal grandfather, the Han family, who had taken care of him overtly and covertly for many years, he would probably not have lived to this age.
His maternal grandfather is Han Qiongyue's biological brother, so if he meets Deng Youning, he should call her "cousin".
In his previous life, it was because of the matter between Deng Youning and Han Qiongyue that Li Tianzhuo went to find him and the Han family, and rebelled with them to avenge them.
In this life, Li Tianzhuo, who was reborn, contacted Jun Chenyi in advance before Deng Youning arrived in Beijing, trying to persuade him to make plans as soon as possible.
“Heh~”
Jun Chenyi chuckled and shook the landscape folding fan in his arms.
The next second, his face changed instantly.
Serious and exuding a solemn and murderous aura.
"I do want to fight for that position."
"But why should I cooperate with you?"
"Master Li is deliberately trying to get close to my cousin and my great-aunt. Why is that?"
