It wasn't just General Geng's issue that troubled Jian Ning. She also had to tell Ding Youtian that Xiu Gu was the legitimate daughter of Prince Pingnan. Dingjia Village was relatively isolated, so how did General Geng find her and know that Xiu Gu was the legitimate daughter of Prince Pingnan?
"Have you ever mentioned to anyone else that Xiu Gu is Duan Xinning? That bastard knew she was the daughter of a general, and he didn't object when I deliberately mentioned the Prince of Pingnan's legitimate daughter. I wonder how this news got out?"
Ding Youtian had also thought about this. He heard everything when Jian Ning questioned Xia Ge. He had only mentioned the fact that Xiu Gu was the legitimate daughter of Prince Pingnan to his master, Blind Liu.
Blind Liu would naturally not mention this to anyone else, he was convinced of this, and Jian Ning had no doubt about it either. The two looked at each other and thought of the Taifu father and son and Wei Dong.
Over the past year, the village had only had outsiders like them, from the capital. After all, they were the only ones who had access to the Prince of Pingnan.
The palace had lost its legitimate daughter, and only they knew about it.
"It won't be too late to ask them in a couple of days when they arrive. What's important right now is your and Bao'er's safety. I'm afraid the Seven Jue Sect will send more assassins. This is really puzzling. If General Geng is really from the Pingnan Palace, why would he send assassins to take your and Bao'er's lives?"
"It might not be an order from Prince Pingnan. In my opinion, it's still unclear who General Geng is. If he were truly from Prince Pingnan's palace, he wouldn't have left such a clue. He could be an imposter. As for his intentions, it's hard to say at this point."
"Why don't you ask Brother Ma? He works in the government office and should know a little about the Seven Absolute Sect. You can also ask him to help inquire about the palace."
He mentioned Ma Fuquan, and Jian Ning remembered using the weapons from the armory. Ma Fuquan hadn't messaged her this time to ask about it. He, Tian Erge, and Yuechan had all stayed in the county town that night and hadn't returned. She checked the screen, and sure enough, there was no movement.
"Ask him in the morning. He's probably fast asleep by now. Brother Qiu is guarding the yard, so let's get some sleep too. We need to be alert at night these few days. Starting tomorrow, you sleep with Bao'er and I'll sleep in the west room. Let Guoguo and Brother Qiu guard the east and west rooms at night."
Ding Youtian nodded, "This is all we can do for now, let's go to sleep."
After the two of them lay down, he leaned over to look at Guoguo, who was sleeping beside him. Seeing that it was still sleeping soundly, he thought of asking Jian Ning, "Did Guoguo get drugged?"
"Yes, that bastard sneaked into our house and looked for things to do during the day. His goal was to get familiar with them so that they wouldn't be on guard when he fed them."
Ding Youtian thought about it and said, "It seems he knows quite a lot about our family. Even if Huo Jincheng and the others mentioned you to others, they might not tell us so much about our family. Also, they came to our house as soon as we returned from Zhuling County. Don't you think it's strange?"
"When we were still at the Qin Mansion, Brother Ma sent me a message asking if I knew General Geng, saying he had come to our house to look for me. Since he didn't tell me why, Brother Ma didn't tell him where we went or when we would be back."
"I guess he asked other people in the village. Everyone who works for us knows that we went to Zhuling County to celebrate the New Year. He can find out by asking anyone."
Ding Youtian thought about it and realized that it was true. If one person in Dingjia Village knew about a small matter, the whole village would know about it.
"I have to tell Guoguo tomorrow not to eat food given by strangers anymore and to tell him to stay close to Baoer. I only have this one son, and I can't let him get into any trouble."
He closed his eyes and muttered.
Jane Ning felt uncomfortable when she heard his words. What did he mean by only having one son? Did he mean he didn't plan to have another child with her, or didn't think she could have one?
Annoying!
Jian Ning turned over, feeling as if he had lost his temper. The scene of the two of them sleeping on the same bed on their first night at Qin's house came to his mind.
As she thought about it, her consciousness gradually became heavy. When she opened her eyes again, the morning light had already penetrated the window lattice and entered the house. She got up and saw that Guoguo was not in the inner room. It had long learned to push the chair and jump up to open the door by itself. It must have gone to the yard.
Since Guoguo was not around, Jian Ning released Baimei from among the herbs.
In this family, apart from Erniu and Sanniu who are good at fighting, Baimei and Guoguo are sworn enemies. They will make a fuss when they are together and will not stop until one of them is dead.
After practicing martial arts and having breakfast, Jian Ning went to the east room and bolted the door. She told Dabao everything that happened last night, including her childhood memories and the fact that Xiu Gu was the legitimate daughter of Prince Pingnan.
Of course, she wouldn't tell him she wasn't Xiu Gu yet. Dabao, no matter how mature and prudent he was, was still a child. She only told him to always carry the gun she'd given him, never go alone, and to be careful about who was watching him. In short, he needed to be more aware of safety precautions.
When Dabao heard that his grandfather was the King of Pingnan, he was only slightly surprised and did not show much expression on his face. He nodded respectfully and obeyed Jian Ning's instructions.
"Mom, since they are targeting us mother and son, you have to be more careful." He reminded Jane Ning in return, which made her feel warm in her heart. This child is so sensible.
"Don't worry, Mom. Protect yourself and don't get hurt. Be especially wary of strangers, whether they're old or young. Be extremely vigilant against any stranger. Even if they're acquaintances, especially those from your father's side, no matter who tells you someone's looking for you or where you're going, be careful and don't go there alone, okay?"
"Don't worry, mother. I'll save you some trouble."
"Well, your sisters are still young, so don't tell them about this for now. Mom and your dad will take good care of them."
Jian Ning didn't tell Dabao about Ding Sheng, thinking it would be better to let Ding Youtian tell him. She asked Dabao to close his eyes, then found a military knife in the armory and gave it to him, asking him to hide it in his boots and even put it under his pillow when he slept at night.
Jane Ning had a profound understanding of how difficult it was to raise a child. She just couldn't understand why her parents never worried about her, as if she had been dug out of a garbage dump and not their own child.
In fact, she is her parents' biological daughter. Because she had doubts, she went back to the small town to investigate after becoming a special police officer.
"You study hard, I won't bother you anymore."
The town school and the clan school will not start until the eighth day of the first lunar month. When school starts, Jian Ning wants to remind Mr. Ding San to keep a close eye on the carriages and be careful of someone tampering with the carriages. There are so many things to worry about, and Jian Ning has thought of everything he can think of, no matter how big or small.
For the rest, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate!
She closed the door and emerged from the east room. Tian arrived with the brothers Ding Yang and Ding Jian, and a moment later, Cui Gu joined them. Chang had sent Ding Sheng a message yesterday, saying she'd have the day off. Jian Ning arranged for Tian to take care of Yue'e, while she and Qiu Ge would manage the kitchen. Qiao Feng was to keep an eye on the clinic so she could visit whenever someone came.
When they started work on the first day of the new year, everyone was in a good mood. Because Tian stayed in the winery instead of going to the escort agency because Yue'e was easy-going, and Yue'e was easy-going, Tian became closer to her and taught her patiently.
Several people were working and talking and laughing. The first pot of wine had not yet been served when the eldest daughter of the Chang family came running over crying, saying that her father Ding Pingshun had passed away.
