Chapter 44: The Marquis's Adopted Daughter and the Cold Prince 16
Ning Changwen fainted from the pain.
There were hurried footsteps coming from afar, and Cha Jiu looked over and saw that it was Ning Changting who had returned!
Oops.
Cha Jiu suddenly had an idea and immediately dropped the scissors in his hand. His mouth squinted, his brows tightened, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"Brother Changting!"
She cried and ran towards the familiar figure in the corridor.
System: "...Good acting."
Ning Changting had already returned to the Marquis' Mansion, but when he dismounted from his horse, he suddenly felt a palpitation and felt uneasy.
So he turned back to make sure Chajiu was safe.
Unexpectedly, something really happened.
His heart broke as he watched his wife-to-be, frightened and stumbling towards him.
He strode forward and took Cha Jiu's bloody hands without hesitation.
"It's okay, it's okay." Ning Changting hugged her tightly and kissed the top of her head to comfort her.
After Cha Jiu slowed down a bit, Ning Changting walked over with a stern face and kicked the person on the ground over.
"Ning Changwen."
The cold blade in Ning Changting's eyes seemed to take shape and cut the smelly humanoid maggots on the ground into pieces.
Cha Jiu sobbed softly, extremely scared: "I, I saw a lunatic walking towards me, but I couldn't see who it was, so in a panic, I used scissors..."
She couldn't continue speaking and threw herself into Ning Changting's arms, crying bitterly.
The system secretly used Cha Jiu's points to exchange for a bag of electronic melon seeds, and watched her passionate performance with his legs crossed.
At this time, footsteps were heard in the distance. It must be the servants who heard the noise and rushed over.
Ning Changting made the decision immediately.
He kissed away the tears on Cha Jiu's trembling eyelashes with a loving heart, and said seriously: "This is not your fault, it is Ning Changwen who has brought this upon himself. Yanshu, you must remember what I say next."
Cha Jiu looked up at him.
Ning Changting continued: "I was the one who hurt Ning Changwen. This matter has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?"
Cha Jiu was surprised: "You want to take the blame for me?"
Ning Changting scooped up water from the hot spring to wash the blood off her hands: "You are not guilty, and the blood of this kind of person is not worthy of being on your hands."
"But Ning Changwen also knows..."
"As long as I plead guilty, Ning Changwen will insist that I was the one who stabbed him." Ning Changting's thoughts were very calm and clear. "He has wanted the position of the Marquis's son for a long time, and he will not miss this opportunity to bring me down."
He was gambling with his life and future, betting that after guaranteeing Cha Jiu, he would be able to get away with it safely.
The emotions in Cha Jiu's heart are hard to describe.
After wiping Chajiu's hands clean, Ning Changting picked up the scissors, squatted beside Ning Changwen, and cut his hair completely.
Cha Jiu was stunned and said to the system: "Ning Changting is even more ruthless than me."
The system spat out the melon seed shells: "Hmm... why doesn't it count?"
The servants who rushed over were shocked when they saw the scene before them.
One of them shouted: "Murder, murder, report to the police!"
…
Ning Changting was imprisoned in the Dali Temple.
When Lady Ninghou heard the news, she fainted immediately.
When she woke up, Marquis Jingyuan had already brought a memorial to the palace to meet the emperor in order to rescue Ning Changting from the Dali Temple.
Mrs. Zou was still kneeling on the ground crying, and the old lady picked up a teacup and smashed her head with it, making it bleed all over: "You raised a good son! How dare you covet your sister-in-law and do something inappropriate!"
Ning Changwen was sent back to the Marquis' Mansion, and the imperial physician rushed over to treat him. Although his life was saved, his vitals were completely destroyed.
He woke up once in the middle of the process and insisted that it was Ning Changting who injured him.
Lady Ninghou wanted to skin Lady Zou alive, but the most important thing at the moment was to go to the Dali Temple and see Ningchang Pavilion.
Cha Jiu supported the Ninghou's wife, who was walking unsteadily, to the Dali Temple, but was stopped.
The wife of Ning Hou said to the gatekeeper: "We are from Jingyuan Hou's mansion, and we would like to see Prince Ning. I wonder if you can accommodate us."
Cha Jiu pulled out a heavy silver bag from his sleeve.
The clerk was about to reach out to take it when a familiar voice came from behind him: "What's going on?"
The clerk was so frightened that he retracted his hand. He was relieved when he saw that the person coming was Xiao Wen Ge.
When Lady Ning Hou saw Xiao Wen Ge, she was surprised and delighted: "Master Xiao!"
Xiao Wen Ge nodded: "Madam Ning Hou."
When Lady Ninghou saw that he still recognized her, she quickly explained her purpose.
I originally thought that Xiao Wen Ge was recommended by Marquis Jingyuan and was considered an insider of the Marquisate.
Who knew that after hearing the purpose of the visit, Xiao Wen Ge took out a selfless attitude: "Sorry, the case of Prince Ning is the focus of the Dali Temple, and outsiders are not allowed to visit for the time being."
Lady Ninghou was shocked and then furious: "Xiao Wen Ge! It was our Lord who recommended you as a jailer!"
Xiao Wen Ge smiled and said, "Yes, that's why I have to be more disciplined when doing my job. I can't make any mistakes that would bring trouble to the Marquis' Mansion. Madam, please go back."
Lady Ninghou was so angry that she was shaking all over.
At this time, Cha Jiu, who was standing by, spoke calmly: "Mr. Xiao is really an expert at crossing a river and then destroying the bridge."
Xiao Wen Ge then looked at Cha Jiu seriously.
She is indeed a stunning beauty. No wonder she could cause a murder between brothers.
"I learned all this from the Marquis' Mansion." Xiao Wen Ge's hypocritical smile faded, leaving only coldness.
"I risked half my life to save your Lord, but all I got in return was a low-ranking jailer. Now that your Lord is in trouble, you think of me again. Is there such a good thing in the world?"
Cha Jiu asked: "Ask yourself, was it really the right time for you to save Lord Hou? Was it really a brave act?"
Xiao Wen Ge's eyebrows jumped, wondering if Cha Jiu knew something.
Cha Jiu didn't want to argue with him anymore, so she turned around and said softly to Lady Ninghou, "Mother, you should go back and rest first. I'll wait for Changting here."
Lady Ninghou was overwhelmed with worry and could no longer bear it, so she had to be supported and returned home first.
Under the bright moon, Cha Jiu stood quietly at the gate of Dali Temple waiting. No matter how many strange looks were given to her by people around her, she remained firm and speechless.
Xiao Wen Ge walked into the dark and damp cell and looked coldly at Ning Changting who was sitting quietly on the straw mat with his eyes closed.
He really hated Ning Changting's aloof and untouchable look.
So he deliberately said: "Prince Ning, your mother is heartbroken, and your fiancée is standing outside the Dali Temple and being looked down upon by others. How does it feel?"
Ning Changting slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Wen Ge with calm eyes.
It seemed that in his eyes, Xiao Wen Ge was nothing more than an insignificant little clown.
Xiao Wen Ge was enraged, fiercely kicked over the food and water in front of Ning Chang Ting, and sneered: "Put away your noble appearance, from now on, if you don't beg me, I won't give you food or drink."
He wanted Ning Changting to kneel before him and lick the soles of his shoes and beg!
Ning Changting, ah Ning Changting, I never thought you would end up like this!
Xiao Wen Ge let out the anger in his chest, and when he saw these young masters from noble families suffering, he felt happy in his heart.
Ning Changting ignored him and continued to close his eyes and wait.
The whole evening passed without him making any requests to Xiao Wen Ge.
It was still foggy when officials from the imperial court hurried to the Dali Temple.
"Hurry, hurry, release Prince Ning!" the Dali Temple Minister urged.
Xiao Wen-ge was confused: "Why did they release him when the case has not been tried yet?"
