Unfortunately, while others might genuinely fear Su Pingyun and the Prince of Huai'an behind her, Wang Mingyuan was completely unafraid. When those old guys set him up, all he got was exiled to this place to be a minor official in a remote area. As for Su Pingyun wanting to kill him, she might as well take a piss and look in the mirror.
Lin Changhe said, "Alright, Mr. Su, we've been talking here long enough. Let's hurry into the city and stop making all these people kneel here."
Su Pingyun changed her tone and laughed, "That's true. Then let's hurry into the city and get them all up. Kneeling for too long is not a good thing."
At this critical juncture when the Prince of Huai'an was entering the city, Ning Ye received an invitation from the Huang family.
Ning Ye looked at the gold-embossed invitation in his hand. It clearly stated that the invitation was simply to attend a banquet.
The invitation was delivered by the same butler as before, but Ning Ye didn't think it was a good thing.
The Huang family has been very quiet lately, but now I'm suddenly extending an invitation to them, even though we haven't had any dealings before.
After much thought, the only possibility is that the other party has probably discovered that I was the one who caused the previous incident, so they want to drag me into it. It might just be a trap.
However, since this place is within the Huang family's territory, Ning Ye isn't really afraid of the other party turning against him. If something were to happen to him in this city, it would be very difficult to explain later.
“Young Master Ning, our master is truly sincere. Please do us the honor.”
Ning Ye sneered, "What face does your Huang family have in my eyes? We were on the verge of war before, and now you want me to attend this trap? Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Young Master Ning, please don't say such things. Our master is a first-rate good man. How could he possibly set up a trap for you? Today's banquet is really to have a good talk with Young Master Ning."
"Hmph, a bunch of flesh-eating bastards, how dare they say such things? But I can give you face, I'll go tonight."
Seeing that Ning Ye had agreed, the butler did not linger and left immediately.
Wang Wu, who was standing to the side, spoke up: "Sir, do we really have to deal with the Huang family's matter first? What about the message that Lao Hu sent back?"
Just now, Hu Laosan finally sent back some useful information, but after reading it, Ning Ye had a big headache. Those who attacked Qu Fengling were none other than Jingyang Wang's men.
This is not good news. Ning Ye didn't want to provoke any powerful enemies, and now this matter happens to be related to King Jingyang.
Qu Fengling left a while ago, and now there's no way to find out what was being transported.
Ning Ye could only put this matter aside for the time being. After all, it was just a verbal promise back then. If there was an opportunity in the future, he could consider it. Otherwise, he would just be courting death.
Ning Ye thought for a moment and said, "Write a letter and have someone send it to Qu Fengling. Explain everything to her clearly. But we can't help with this for now, so tell her not to have any expectations. If she can figure it out herself, then let her try."
"Yes, sir. By the way, sir, Prince Huai'an has arrived in the county town. His procession is truly enviable."
Ning Ye didn't join in the fun, mainly because he didn't want to kneel like everyone else. A real man kneels to heaven, earth, and his parents, but Ning Ye didn't want to kneel to anyone else.
Speaking of the Prince of Huai'an, Ning Ye naturally remembered what had happened before. He wondered if that so-called retainer also had feelings for Lin Qinshu, otherwise it would be another troublesome matter.
Unfortunately, whatever you think about will happen to you. Ning Silang hurriedly pushed open the door and entered, saying, "Xiao Ye, a group of people have come outside and say they are looking for Qin Shu."
Ning Ye stood up and asked, "Fourth Uncle, did these people give their names and backgrounds?"
"They said they came from the capital and the leader was a Mr. Su named Su Pingyun, who said he and Qin Shu were old friends."
Upon hearing this, Ning Ye knew that trouble was on its way. After checking that his clothes were still relatively neat, he went out to greet the messenger.
Su Pingyun arrived with more than a dozen guards, each carrying gifts, indicating that she had a very good intention.
Meanwhile, the guards Ning Ye left behind were looking at the guards with great curiosity, after all, the guards were wearing very fine armor and had an aura of iron and blood.
This inevitably made Ning Ye's men subconsciously compare themselves to each other, wondering just how big the gap was between them, or whether it was possible for one of them to be stronger than the other.
Ning Ye strode over, his voice preceding his arrival, "I suppose you must be Mr. Su Pingyun. I never expected you would actually come to my humble abode."
Su Pingyun smiled slightly, "I'm just here to visit an old friend. Although Qin Shu is now your wife, I can't refuse to see an old friend who's visiting."
Ning Ye laughed heartily, "I'm not the kind of petty man. If my wife is willing to see you, I naturally won't stop her. But if she's not, I hope Mr. Su will know his limits."
"Of course, I have also prepared some small gifts, and I hope that you will accept them. They are just some ordinary things and will not cause you any trouble."
Ning Ye naturally welcomed him inside, saying, "This is a humble abode, please don't be shy, Mr. Su. It can't compare to the capital, and I'm sure you won't be staying here for long."
Inside the reception room, Su Pingyun and Ning Ye were already seated, while everyone else had to wait outside.
Su Pingyun went straight to the point, "Young Master Ning, my trip here was rather urgent, so why don't you send someone to invite Qin Shu back as soon as possible?"
Ning Ye poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Don't worry, I've already sent someone to invite him. Have some tea first, I'd also like to have a chat with Mr. Su."
Su Pingyun accepted the tea and said calmly, "This is our first meeting. I wonder what Young Master Ning would like to discuss with me?"
"That's of course my wife's past. Although we've known each other for a long time, we still don't know anything about what happened before. If Mr. Su is willing to talk about it, I would be very happy."
