"What are you thinking about?" Jian Ning came out of the inner room and saw him standing by the window, looking thoughtful. She went up to him and asked, "Are you worried that if Cao's public kneeling gets to Jiang's ears, he'll think we instigated her to beat the drum to protest the injustice done to her son, and he'll want to blame us for his son's murder?"
Ding Youtian sneered, "Even if my wife and I had done nothing, he would have sent people to kill us the night before, wouldn't he?"
"So, no matter what we do, the result will be the same. We can't avoid what's coming. But this man is too despicable. I think the person who kidnapped Ding Zhu and poisoned her is most likely him. In my opinion..."
Jian Ning swallowed the rest of her words. She wanted to say that it is better to strike first than to gain the upper hand. This Jiang guy is too sinister and despicable. Tolerating evil elements is tantamount to nurturing evil, and in the end, he will suffer the consequences. She had witnessed such bloody lessons in her previous life.
But she didn't say it in the end, for fear that Ding Youtian would think she was too bloodthirsty as a woman, so she just had to be on guard against him secretly. After all, she was a female special police officer equipped with modern weapons.
She didn't say it, but Ding Youtian said it.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. "I know what you mean, Madam. I think the same thing. A person who is so despicable, holds a high position, and condones his family's evil deeds, such a person really should not be allowed to remain in this world."
Jian Ning was a little surprised. His tone was very calm, and his expression was indifferent when he said this. When he said something like killing someone, it sounded as commonplace as plucking a rotten leaf, but it also carried a chilling chill.
She couldn't help but look up at him, and the scene of the first day when she traveled through time emerged in her mind. After the eldest brother Ding Youwang delivered the things allocated to them to the side yard, he felt that the things allocated to his father were too little, and he jumped up and down in the side yard and cursed his father, Old Ding.
Is this guy in front of me, who is as steady as an old dog, still the same person as before?
She expressed doubt.
I couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and reach out to pull his eyelids, "Let me see if you have changed your mind too. Give me back the old Ding Popi. I still want the original one."
He curled his lips and suddenly tickled her. He liked what Jane Ning said, "She still wants the original one." He hugged Jane Ning, who giggled as he tickled her. "So Ding the ruffian isn't that bad in Madam's heart, is he? Tell me the truth, huh?"
At this moment, his voice seemed to carry a demonic quality. Jian Ning had wanted to tease him, but she nodded involuntarily, meeting his smiling eyes. She tugged at his shirt and whispered seriously, "When I first received Xiu Gu's memories, I had almost no feelings towards you. But when I found myself unconsciously attracted to you and fell in love with you, I thought about it again, and realized that you were actually..."
"So what?" The smile on his lips deepened, vaguely bringing out some of the stinky taste of the past. Jian Ning suddenly didn't want to agree with him and pinched his chest with her fingers, "What's wrong? Don't you know what's going on?"
"Shameless!" Baimei's voice sounded from above.
"Guoguo!" As Ding Youtian finished speaking, Guoguo jumped onto the table and leaped towards the roof beam. His speed was as fast as lightning, startling Baimei so much that he fell headfirst. Fortunately, Jian Ning rushed out and caught him. He flew onto Jian Ning's shoulder and cursed at Guoguo: "Asshole!"
Just as it finished cursing, its body tensed up and it was caught by Ding Youtian. Just as Ding Youtian poked its head with his finger, Jian Ning suddenly cried out, "Uncle Liu, where did you come from?"
Master is here?
Just as Ding Youtian's eyes moved, he was hit on his arm. Baimei fell on Jian Ning's shoulder again. Jian Ning raised his hand and pointed at Ding Youtian and Guo Guo, "Let's see who dares to touch it."
Baimei started to tremble now, and stood proudly on Jian Ning's shoulder with a very majestic look.
Guoguo glanced at Ding Youtian, who pretended not to see anything, lowered his head and touched his nose. Seeing this, Guoguo stretched out his two front paws, straightened his body and lay down. Guoguo immediately flew over and stomped heavily on its back twice, then slipped away.
"Mom, what are you and Dad doing?" Sanniu asked loudly in the inner room. She and Erniu were playing crosses on the bed, a game Jane Ning had taught them before. She had tried several times but couldn't find a five-pointed star. "Mom, come quickly, help me find a five-pointed star."
Jian Ning went in and played with them for a while, then specifically instructed them, "Before we leave, you two are not allowed to run out to play. Even if you go to the toilet, you must ask your mother to accompany you. You can't go downstairs by yourself, understand?"
"Are there bad guys trying to harm us?" Erniu asked.
"Yes. Especially you." Jian Ning told Erniu, "If you ever fall into the hands of bad people, don't cry. No matter who of you is captured, Mom and Dad will definitely find a way to rescue you. So you must remember to learn from Sister A'man and be smart. Find a way to secretly leave your belongings. For example, the hairpins and beads on your heads, anything you have on you will be fine, remember?"
"Mom, I won't cry, and I'm not afraid. I will be as brave as Sister A'man." Sanniu spoke first.
Erniu refused to give in, "I won't cry either. I'm the older sister, I'm braver than my younger sister!"
Jane Ning touched their heads and said, "Mom believes in you. You are both my good daughters. As long as you are obedient and don't run around, you won't fall into the hands of bad people."
After Tong Bajin and Erlangzi came back, Jian Ning also gave them instructions. He stared at Erniu and Sanniu, and they both clasped their fists and responded seriously.
There was peace and tranquility for several days, no one came to cause trouble, and Ding Zhu did not come either. Ding Youtian asked Tong Bajin to go out and inquire, and found out that on the night when the second son of the Jiang family was imprisoned, Jiang Tongpan took a doctor to the prison, presumably to treat his son's injuries.
Two days later, Jian Ning went to remove the stitches for Xu Dali's wife. The news of Cao beating the drum to appeal for justice had spread to Xiahe Street in the south of the city. Her son had returned safely, and the neighbors had to ask her about the identities of Jian Ning and Ding Youtian. She remembered Ding Youtian's instructions and said that she didn't know either, and did not reveal their identities.
Xu Dali had a good physical condition, and Jian Ning prescribed him effective medicines, so he recovered beyond Jian Ning's expectations. When he saw Jian Ning, he struggled to get down and kowtow to her, but she stopped him.
"Madam, has Lord Ding come to the north with his family to take up his post?" Xu Dali asked. He was a bodyguard and had traveled all over the country for many years, so he had quite some experience. Since he knew that Ding Youtian was the new top scholar, he naturally thought that he was an official who came to the north to take up his post.
These days, he lay in bed and thought carefully about what happened in court that day. So many people came in to speak for him, but it was different from the scene on the street that day when no one dared to speak. He vaguely felt that Lord Ding must have made some efforts behind the scenes.
"Yes, tomorrow morning my husband will go to the provincial capital to see the prefect, and we will rush to Danyang County. It's still about ten days away. You should rest well and take your medicine on time. I estimate that you will be almost fully recovered in two months."
"Madam, were you talking about Danyang?" Cao's eyes lit up when Jian Ning mentioned Danyang. As Jian Ning finished speaking, she stepped forward and asked, "Is the new county magistrate of Danyang Lord Ding?"
