Bai Ziyun's eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief: "What, Ning'er is fake!"
Leng Qingqiu quickly covered her mouth and lowered his voice, "Shh, keep your voice down, don't alert the enemy. I am just speculating at the moment, but we must remain vigilant, there may be some ulterior motive hidden in this."
Bai Ziyun nervously grabbed Leng Qingqiu's hand, his eyes full of worry and confusion, "It shouldn't be possible, I also checked Ning'er's body, and didn't find anything abnormal? And, even if it's a fake, your sister is a mother, how could she not see it?"
Leng Qingqiu shook his head gently, his eyes firm and calm, "Have you forgotten that my life was given to me by Ning'er? Now there is a special connection between me and Ning'er. Although I don't know why Xiao Ning standing in front of us makes me feel so familiar, I can be sure that he is definitely not the Ning'er we know!"
After listening to Leng Qingqiu's analysis, Bai Ziyun was shocked and nodded in agreement. They realized the seriousness of the situation and decided to further investigate the truth.
In the magnificent palace, Dongfang Qinyin followed the eunuch's instructions closely, passed through the gorgeous corridors and courtyards, and finally came to a magnificent palace. This is a place specially used to entertain distinguished guests. The decoration is luxurious and elegant, showing the majesty and dignity of the royal family everywhere. Entering the house, she felt relaxed, and her tense nerves were finally relieved. She sighed softly, secretly glad in her heart: "This woman is not as terrible as I imagined, maybe she just looks a little harsh on the surface. But as the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. I still can't take it lightly and must always be vigilant."
Then, she took out the communication disc from her bosom and eagerly checked the messages on it. Three days had passed since she last contacted Xiao Ning. At that time, he said that he was repairing the broken sword in Da Chu, but she had not received any news from him since then. No matter how many messages Dongfang Qinyin sent, they were like a stone sinking into the sea, and she did not receive any response. She gradually became anxious and worried that Xiao Ning might have encountered something unexpected.
"Ning'er, where are you? Why don't you reply to my message..." She muttered silently, with worry and concern in her eyes.
As night fell and the lights came on, Chu Qian, Bai Ziyun, Leng Qingqiu and Xiao Ning walked out of the inn together, ready to go out for dinner. They chose an elegant restaurant and found a quiet corner to sit down.
Xiao Ning naturally sat next to Chu Qian, keeping a proper distance from Bai Ziyun and Leng Qingqiu. After the waiter handed over the menu, Leng Qingqiu handed it to Xiao Ning and said softly, "Ning'er, you order the dishes. You know the tastes of me and your master."
Xiao Ning took the recipe, flipped it a few times, then suddenly looked up at Chu Qian and said softly, "Mother, you should take care of it."
Hearing this, Leng Qingqiu couldn't help but frown, and the doubts in his heart became stronger. Chu Qian took the menu and ordered a few exquisite dishes. While waiting for the dishes to be served, everyone fell into silence, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Xiao Ning seemed to be staring at the tableware on the table intently, but in fact his thoughts had drifted to a distant place.
At this moment, Leng Qingqiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence. She looked at Xiao Ning, a hint of curiosity and doubt flashed in her eyes, and asked softly, "Ning'er, what exactly are you doing in Da Chu?"
Xiao Ning's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface. He smiled and replied, "I'm here to repair the broken sword. I heard that there is a highly skilled weapon master in Da Chu who can repair any broken weapon, so I came here specifically to seek help."
Leng Qingqiu nodded slightly to show her understanding. Then she asked, "Is the sword repaired?"
Xiao Ning took a deep breath and said slowly: "It should be repaired, I just haven't gone to get it yet."
Chu Qian suddenly interrupted at this time, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "Hey, kid, why don't you let Lao Wang handle this little thing? Why do you have to go there in person? And you even left a letter. I thought you went to find that bitch Nangong Luoyu!"
When Xiao Ning heard this, an uncontrollable impulse suddenly surged in his heart, but he still resisted it and said as calmly as possible: "Mother, I don't think she should be such a person."
"Hmph, what kind of person is she? First she competed with me for your father, and then she took you away from me. She is a complete bitch! She specializes in seducing men. She'd better not appear in front of me, otherwise I will never let her go and will teach her a lesson!" Chu Qian became more and more angry as she spoke, and her voice gradually became louder.
Xiao Ning clenched his fists, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, but then he stopped talking about Nangong Luoyu and changed the subject to other things. After all, he didn't want to cause unnecessary disputes because of this issue.
Soon, the steaming hot food was served on the table, and the four began to enjoy this sumptuous dinner. Chu Qian enthusiastically picked up food for Xiao Ning, and soon, his bowl was full and almost overflowing. Xiao Ning felt a little embarrassed, but he still politely accepted the kindness and began to concentrate on tasting these delicious dishes. However, Bai Ziyun on the side noticed something strange. She found that unlike usual, Xiao Ning did not take the initiative to pick up food for others this time, which seemed to imply some special situation. So, Bai Ziyun cast a knowing look to Leng Qingqiu, and then continued to eat.
