Chapter 123: Foreign Prince
The young master of the Ningguo Mansion went to the imperial capital alone to take the exam.
This incident not only caused chaos in the Ningguo Mansion, but also alarmed the entire Tianqian Pass.
Along the way, even birds and beasts found it difficult to cross, not to mention the rampant bandits.
How can Young Master Ning go far alone?
In just one morning, the Ningguo Mansion sent out several waves of troops to pursue, and the entire Tianqian Pass was in an uproar.
Fan Wenchang had been depressed at home for a long time. When he heard the news that the little bully was missing, he ran out happily to watch the fun.
However, he never expected that he would become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.
Everyone was talking about how even a fool could take the exam, but he, a second-generation rich kid, couldn't even memorize the "Ritual Hall Records".
Fan Wenchang was so embarrassed that he couldn't even eat when he returned home.
Ever since he was humiliated in the street by Ning Jie that day, Fan Wenchang was scared to death.
Feng was afraid that he would be upset again, so she quickly asked her servants to find a doctor.
However, Fan Wenchang roared, "What's the use? I'm worried. Mother, even that idiot Ning Jie is taking the exam. I'm going to be a laughing stock in this natural barrier. How can I face leaving the house again?"
In front of outsiders, Fan Wenchang could still maintain some dignity, but when he returned home and faced Feng who doted on him, he was left with only his own bully ways.
When Feng heard this, she became furious. "Who dares to laugh at you? I'll take care of them for you!"
Fan Wenchang's face was stern. "It's all because of Su Shengsheng and that idiot. Now they're forcing me to leave the house because of the bet."
When Feng heard Su Shengsheng's name, she became even more furious.
Ever since her grandfather resigned from his post as the Imperial Censor of Salt, Fan Shan's attitude towards her and her son had become increasingly cold.
Now that Su Shengsheng is in power and has climbed up to the Duke's Mansion and King Xuanming, this time her son was humiliated in public and almost lost his life.
However, Fan Shan did not dare to stand up for her and locked her up, not allowing her to go find her grandfather.
When Feng thought of this, her anger could not help but rise. "Even if she is very capable, what does it matter? She is still just a little girl!"
When Fan Wenchang heard this, he knew his mother had made up her mind and immediately got out of bed. "Mom, do you have any idea how to deal with her?"
Feng looked at her son's face, which was filled with both anger and fear. She sighed in frustration and then said quietly, "I'll ask someone to propose marriage to her. How about marrying her to you?"
Seeing the Feng family gradually losing power, even her husband who used to obey her in everything was forcing her to behave herself. How could Feng swallow this?
"What? Let me marry that tigress?" Fan Wenchang turned pale with fright.
"What do you know?" Feng snorted coldly, "As long as you marry her into the family, you and I can control her."
Fan Wenchang's originally stagnant expression relaxed slightly after hearing this.
Feng's eyes turned cold. "Then just say you're going to marry a virtuous wife and urge you to study. I'm sure your father won't be able to say anything."
Fan Wenchang's eyes flashed with Su Shengsheng's jade-like face, and he suddenly felt bolder. "Wait until Ning Jie comes back. It's already a done deal. He'll have to bow to me when he sees me in the future!"
In fact, this was the path Feng chose after careful consideration.
My son is no longer capable. If he doesn't want to be despised by his father, he can only marry a capable daughter-in-law if he doesn't want to be despised by his father and have concubines and illegitimate sons so that he can't hold his head up.
The Su family had fallen on hard times, but now that they were in power, even her family was wary of them.
But if she marries Su Shengsheng, won’t those forces be a help to her son in the future?
not to mention……
Seeing her son was so frightened that he was out of his mind all day, she had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
At the very least, it can give my son some relief.
"But can the Su family agree to it?" Fan Wenchang is still frightened after being beaten up by Ning Jie, fearing that he will end up losing more than he gains.
Seeing that her son was no longer dodging, Feng said, "Don't worry about it. I will take care of everything."
…
"The Queen Mother went on a killing spree, beheading all the refugees who had intended to surrender to Nanling but were sent back."
After the subordinate finished his report, he glanced at the prince, who looked worried, and asked, "Do you want me to go back and wait for an opportunity to rescue the king?"
"Lian Heng and Hongbo both knew that if they wanted to survive, they had to join forces with Nanzhao. The Queen Mother was power-hungry and wanted Beirong to allow her to rule the country from behind the scenes, thereby balancing the nobles within the court and containing Nanling."
He chuckled, as if mocking the Queen Mother's stupidity.
The subordinate sighed.
If His Highness's bloodline was not impure and he could not inherit the throne, why would he have to watch the Baishang Kingdom fall apart now?
All the spies who infiltrated Nanling this time were eradicated by Xie Xuan, otherwise why would Your Highness have to take the risk personally?
I didn't expect that in just a few days, the domestic political situation would become so turbulent.
"This Xie Xuan, his skills are really amazing."
The man smiled after hearing this. "Heng Hongbo defected to Baishang Kingdom. The Queen Mother is suspicious by nature, and he simply took advantage of her weakness."
As he spoke, his eyes became dim, "The other person is more interesting."
Without waiting for his subordinates to ask, he stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time to go meet her!"
…
Until the convoy that was sent out successfully caught up with Ning Jie and sent a letter back to inform him that he was riding in Ji Yanli's car to the imperial capital.
Su Shengsheng, Duke Ningguo and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Shengsheng broke out in a cold sweat after being disturbed by Ning Jie's behavior. She walked a long way and naturally did not reach Prince Cheng's Mansion.
She was soaking in the hot spring to relieve herself, and just when she was feeling drowsy, Qing Ning said that someone had passed the level and wanted to compete with her.
In the last battle with Bai Shuo, he was able to complete many levels and almost piece together the map of Nanling Kingdom.
I didn’t expect that someone would get through the domestic checkpoints so quickly.
Su Shengsheng was feeling a little sleepy while soaking in the bath, but she still forced herself to stay awake and quickly got dressed to go to the competition.
There are very few people who can complete the domestic version!
If she could work together with them, perhaps it would help her complete the construction of facilities in the remaining towns of Nanling Kingdom more quickly.
When she walked into the teahouse, she was surprised to see a young foreign merchant sitting inside.
When the man saw her come in, he did not stand up to greet her, but picked up the purple clay teapot from the tea stove and elegantly poured her a cup of tea.
"I am so lucky to be able to see the true face of Shopkeeper Su."
He spoke extremely fluently, with no trace of an Indian accent at all. Instead, he sounded like a native of Nanling.
This made Su Shengsheng even more surprised.
She didn't care about the other party's behavior of taking the initiative. "Are you from India?" she asked tentatively.
The man had a handsome appearance, even more dazzling than Ji Yanli.
But it is not the masculine elegance, but a neutral beauty that is difficult to distinguish between male and female. She is as noble as an exotic prince, with a hint of charm.
"I travel all over the world, I have no fixed place to live and no fixed home." He stretched out his hand and motioned Su Shengsheng to sit down.
When observed up close, his beauty is even more breathtaking!
There was a faint blue light glimmering in his eyes, as mysterious as the blue-ringed octopus in the deep sea, and sometimes there were frightening colors flowing in them.
Her black hair was simply tied up with a string of jewels.
As soft as silk, with a slight red sheen, it hangs down to the waist, as dreamy as the interweaving of morning light and night.
His face was exquisite and flawless, his nose was high, and his lips were light in color but extremely seductive.
When the corners of his mouth slightly rise, it seems that he can easily captivate everyone and make them fall in love with him.
Such words may not be appropriate to describe a man, but his every move exudes an irresistible charm.
Even in her previous life, Su Shengsheng had never seen such a gifted person.
She couldn't help but ask a slightly stupid question: "Are you a man or a woman?"
Upon hearing this question, the man laughed instantly, and that smile was breathtakingly beautiful.
