Dong Xing: "Fourth Prince, you saved him before, so you have some debt to him. Go and ask him, he might be willing to help."
Dong Xing’s words made Xun Niannian narrow her eyes.
Did the original owner and the Fourth Prince have an unusual relationship in the past? Did she save Chen Lianmo?
I don’t know if it’s because the original owner was just a cannon fodder in the book and appeared very few times, but Xun Niannian had never heard of any connection between the original owner and Chen Lianhe, and she was even less aware that the original owner had ever saved Chen Lianhe!
No wonder the Fourth Prince looked at her so strangely when they were in Fengxi Tower during the day.
She was puzzled at the time.
It turns out that the two of them are really involved!
"When did I save the Fourth Prince? Why don't I have any recollection of it?"
Xun Niannian seemed to feel dizzy and raised her hand to rub her temple.
Dong Xing was indeed startled and stared at Xun Niannian with wide eyes.
"Miss, you, you didn't hit your head and got something wrong, did you?"
Xun Niannian: "I don't know if I have any problems. Anyway, whenever I think about the past, I feel uncomfortable in my head. It seems that I can remember some things, but I can't remember some things..."
Xun Niannian felt a little guilty when she said these words.
She was just a listener to the book. The original owner was just an insignificant cannon fodder character in the book, and the author only mentioned her a few times occasionally.
To Xun Nian Nian now, she is completely clueless about the original owner’s past experiences.
In order to avoid being exposed in the future, I had to pretend that my head was hurt.
Otherwise, many things are difficult to explain!
"Miss, wuwu... No wonder I always felt that something was wrong with you after you woke up. It turns out that you really had a problem with your head. Wuwu, what should I do..."
Dong Xing hugged Xun Niannian and started crying again.
And once he starts crying, it won’t stop and it’s impossible to comfort him.
Xun Niannian pressed her forehead and felt a little overwhelmed. She really didn't expect that Dong Xing was such a crybaby!
"Be good, don't cry."
Xun Niannian is not the kind of person who is particularly good at comforting others, so she can only patiently touch Dong Xing's head and comfort her softly.
After she finally stopped crying, he continued to ask her about the "past" between the original owner and the Fourth Prince.
Dong Xing told Xun Niannian while sobbing.
Six years ago, one day Xun Nian Nian suddenly felt like going boating.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the lake, they suddenly saw a man lying on the shore.
The man was half on the shore and half in the water, and he looked to be dead.
Dong Xing was so scared that she immediately wanted to pull Xun Niannian and run away.
Xun Niannian shook off Dong Xing's hand and bravely went forward to take a look.
After going forward to take a look, I found that the man was not dead yet and was still breathing weakly.
Xun Niannian immediately asked the servants to carry the man ashore and gave him first aid.
After a while, the man woke up, but he was seriously injured and could not walk. Xun Niannian used her own carriage to take him back to the city's clinic for treatment.
In the carriage, the man learned that Xun Niannian was the daughter of Shangshu Xun's mansion, so he took the initiative to tell her his identity and asked Xun Niannian to hide the fact that he was injured.
Xun Niannian agreed immediately.
Later, the Fourth Prince asked people to send things to Xun Niannian several times, but the two never met again.
"So, we just met once?"
She was scared to death, she thought Xun Niannian and Chen Lianmo had some deep connection!
It turned out that he had just saved him six years ago.
"It's been so many years since this happened, maybe the Fourth Prince has forgotten it!"
Xun Niannian narrowed her eyes.
Dong Xing said, "The Fourth Prince will definitely remember it. After all, it was a life-saving favor!"
"Miss, let's go and give it a try. Maybe he's willing to help..."
Xun Nian Nian's mood is a little complicated.
It’s not that she is unwilling to ask the Fourth Prince for help.
Rather, this matter may be related to Chen Lianhe.
If the investigation leads to Chen Lianhe, Chen Lianhe's ambitions might be exposed in advance...
Hey, if Chen Lianhe's ambitions were exposed in advance, would her mission be considered accomplished or a failure?
Has Chen Lianhe already started planning a rebellion?
Shouldn't you have already started planning?
Isn’t it evidence that Huaimingyuan was used to embezzle the river repair funds?
Isn't the ultimate mission that the system wants her to do to stop Chen Lianhe from rebelling?
If Chen Lianhe's ambition is exposed in advance, wouldn't it be possible to directly prevent him from rebelling?
The Lingjun River incident has caused such a big stir this time. If it is revealed that the person who embezzled the river repair funds was not Xun Shangshu, but Chen Lianhe, his image in the hearts of the people will definitely plummet!
Besides, the emperor would surely be very disappointed in him! Even if he wasn't imprisoned, he certainly wouldn't trust him as much as before.
Maybe he would even be stripped of his position as governor-general of the three divisions.
Without the popular base and the trust and respect of the emperor, it would certainly not be easy for Chen Lianhe to rebel in the future.
Maybe he felt it was too difficult and simply gave up on the rebellion?
In this way, doesn't she win without any effort?
When she thought of this, Xun Niannian became excited.
"Okay, okay, I'll go find the Fourth Prince and give it a try tomorrow!"
Dong Xing was relieved when she heard Xun Niannian agreed to ask the Fourth Prince for help.
She rested her head on Xun Niannian's arm and muttered softly, "The master and the mistress are now locked up in a cell, and I don't know what's going on with them..."
Xun Niannian didn't say anything, but just squinted her eyes and looked at the moon outside the window for a while.
In the pavilion not far away, a man frowned.
Xun Niannian actually saved Fourth Brother before?
He didn't know they had such a connection!
…
Because she went to bed late, Xun Nian Nian woke up a little late the next day.
After cleaning up, she went back into the kitchen.
However, this time, she did not accept the task of cooking, but was preparing to make some food and take it to find the Fourth Prince.
However, she and Dong Xing had just about to leave the house with their lunch boxes when they ran into Chen Lianhe who had just returned from outside.
"Princess, are you going to leave the house?"
Chen Lianhe glanced at the food box in Dong Xing's hand, then his gaze fell back on Xun Niannian.
He smiled and said, "Princess, have you made something to repay me for my kindness?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Chen Lianhe's tone.
After hearing this, Xun Niannian just wanted to go up and kick him.
【You wish! 】
[If I hadn't accepted the system task before, do you think I would cook for you? I would rather cook for Ah Fu who lives in the mansion than for you! ]
Chen Lianhe: “…”
