Ji Chenglin originally wanted to deal with the two thieves and then leave quietly. After all, he had previously said that he never wanted to see them again. Now he appeared at their door in the middle of the night. Isn't this a slap in his face?
However, hearing the panic in the woman's voice in the house, he thought about it and pushed the door open to explain, so that she wouldn't be like a frightened bird and sleep restlessly every night.
He took a deep breath and pushed open the door whose bolt had been broken by the thieves long ago. He saw Danruo behind the door stabbing at him with a silver hairpin.
Ji Chenglin dodged lightly and effortlessly snatched the silver hairpin from her hand. He quickly said, "It's me, Ji Chenglin."
The moonlight tonight is not bright, and it is so dark that I can't see my facial features clearly.
Ji Chenglin felt her tense body relax all of a sudden, and she fell down limply. Ji Chenglin quickly caught her and carried her to the bed.
Dan Ruo's cold voice came from the darkness: "Your Highness, didn't you say you never wanted to see me again? Why did you break into a girl's room at night and scare me? Are you deliberately playing a trick on me?"
Ji Chenglin took out the night pearl from his sleeve and placed it on the bedside. Only then did he see the girl's pale face, red eyes, and messy long hair. It was obvious that she was frightened.
He suppressed the urge to hold the person in his arms to comfort him, and explained what had just happened with a cold face, specifically emphasizing that he just happened to pass by.
Tell her to make sure to have a maid keep watch at night in the future.
Knowing that he had wronged Ji Chenglin, Dan Ruo was filled with guilt and said in a daze: "Caiyue was borrowed by my fifth sister. Usually, Caiyue would sleep with me."
Ji Chenglin thought that it seemed that there was something wrong with Ning Danruo, the fifth sister. He had to remind her and then check it out himself later.
Just as he was about to speak, he noticed that Danruo's face had begun to turn red and her eyes had become blurred. Could it be that the fever she had a while ago had not yet healed?
He reached out to touch the girl's plump forehead, wanting to see if she had a fever, but unexpectedly the girl grabbed his right hand, put it on her hot face, and sighed, "It feels so comfortable."
His Adam's apple rolled and he thought the fever was too severe.
Until the girl followed his hand up her arm to find the cool feeling, and then fell into his arms. Because she could not get any relief from the coldness, the girl cried out in panic, sobbing and complaining.
Although Ji Chenglin had no experience, he had heard all kinds of jokes in the military camp before. Moreover, he knew that he had a fiancée at that time, so he also paid attention to these things.
Now I can see that it is traditional Chinese medicine. Maybe what the two thieves blew in just now was not a sleeping pill, but an aphrodisiac.
Looking at the girl moving around in his arms, his breathing became heavy, and he felt that the thing under him seemed to be awakening. However, when he heard the chaotic footsteps coming from afar, he took out a universal detoxification pill from his sleeve and fed it to the girl.
At the same time, he used cold water in the house to wipe Danruo's face to help her regain consciousness faster.
When the gate was knocked and they woke up, Ji Chenglin had already taken the unconscious thief to the roof.
Ning Rongrong, along with her two maids and Caiyue, stood outside the courtyard, her tone anxious: "Big sister, my cat is missing. I was wondering if it came to your place during the day and then mischievously hid in your room again."
Caiyue couldn't bear to have her girl disturbed in the middle of the night, so she was pulled over by the fifth girl to ask her all sorts of questions. At this moment, the fifth girl said that the cat was missing and she had to find it.
Caiyue said helplessly: "Fifth Miss, our girl has fallen asleep. Let's look for her tomorrow."
Cai He immediately retorted: "The cat was specially found by the master as a gift to the Fifth Miss. It is very important to her."
Looking at Caihe's expression, Caiyue was so angry that her heart was shaking. How dare this traitorous servant appear in front of our girl?
Seeing that Ning Rongrong was about to bring people to force her way in, Dan Ruo opened the door and said sleepily:
"Fifth sister, I was sleeping soundly when I heard a noise as noisy as a crow outside. What a big thing must have happened."
Ning Rongrong looked apologetic and almost cried, saying that she just wanted to go into the house to look for her cat.
Danruo opened the door and let a few people in. The room was simply decorated and there was no place to hide people. Caihe looked inside the bed curtains and under the bed.
After a while, Caihe's forehead was covered with sweat and she shook her head at Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong pretended to be impeccable, apologized to Danruo with an apologetic look on her face, and also presented him with a piece of fine white jade.
After everyone left, Danruo handed the jade to Caiyue and said, "Sell it for silver later."
Caiyue was puzzled. "This jade is of excellent quality. Now that the Queen Mother is going to take the young lady to the palace for selection, the young lady should have more items to show off."
Dan Ruo smiled. This jade was given to Ning Rongrong by the current emperor Ji Chengfeng. Ning Rongrong would secretly complain that he had stolen her things, making Ji Chengfeng continue to hate the original owner, so that the two of them could use the original owner together.
"Silly girl, do I need to bring anything to save face? The money I earn is the most practical."
Caiyue chuckled, full of pride:
"The girl has grown into a beautiful fairy. She looks good even in plain clothes. The fifth girl has been asking me all night what she usually does to take care of her skin. I said she doesn't use anything, and the fifth girl's face was so jealous that it was almost smoking."
Then his face was filled with anger:
"But Fifth Miss is going too far. She actually disturbed me so late at night. And Caihe is the same. Not only did she follow Fifth Miss, but she even dared to help her bully me. I must find an opportunity to teach her a lesson."
Dan Ruo smiled and said, "Just practice your skills first and don't let others bully you. Go to bed early. You've worked hard today."
This kind of thing did not happen in the previous life. Ning Rongrong came to pick up the original owner down the mountain. The original owner had practiced hard for three years and his character had long since changed. Ning Rongrong showed kindness to the original owner, and the original owner was very dependent on Ning Rongrong and obeyed her words.
But if it were me, I wouldn't want to be hypocritical with Ning Rongrong, so Ning Rongrong thought it was difficult to control me, which led to a different life from the previous one.
Ji Chenglin lifted the tiles on the roof and understood what had happened. Then he followed Ning Rongrong's steps and moved to Ning Rongrong's roof.
The wind was blowing coldly outside. Inside the house, Ning Rongrong was whipping Cai He, who was kneeling on the ground, with a barbed whip on her face full of hatred.
She went up the mountain to pick up Ning Danruo today. Seeing Ning Danruo's beautiful appearance, she was afraid that the emperor fell in love with her at first sight.
How could he still use Ning Danruo? I'm afraid he will really make Ning Danruo his queen. Then what future would he have? Would he be suppressed by his elder sister all his life?
She immediately wanted to have someone destroy Ning Danruo's innocence. No matter how beautiful a woman was, if she was unclean, the emperor would definitely not like her based on his character.
"You volunteered to arrange this matter today. Where is the person you arranged? How come Ning Danruo is still fine?"
