Because Mingjue was recuperating at Ning Hongze's home.
Jiang Cha moved in as well.
Fortunately, although the Ning family's house was somewhat dilapidated, it was large enough.
We could arrange another room for the three of them, mistress and servant.
Xiaoru was extremely dissatisfied with this.
However, the young lady was already very dissatisfied with her, so she dared not say anything more.
If the young lady really gets tired of her, then her life will be difficult after returning to the manor.
“Miss, the young master is all alone over there, with no one to serve him. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate? Perhaps I should go and serve him?”
Xiaoru suggested.
"The young master's servant is also not here."
Jiang Cha stared at Xiao Ru for a while before saying, "Alright, you can go and serve him. But let me make this clear: if you do anything to displease my uncle, I'll sell you off."
Xiaoru's heart skipped a beat.
"Miss, how could I dare?"
But what if you do something to please your son-in-law?
The young lady probably wouldn't be happy either—
Xiaoru was quite confident in her looks.
"Miss, Xiaoru, she—"
Xiao Guo looked somewhat embarrassed; she could see right through Xiao Ru's scheme.
"Let her be, she won't succeed."
Jiang Cha shook her head and was about to take off her coat—
But the next moment, an angry shout rang out, "Who are you?"
Jiang Cha's expression changed.
He hurriedly straightened his clothes, grabbed the fan from the table, and ran out.
Just as they stepped out of the room, they saw Ning Hong break the leg of a man in black.
Another blow landed, and with a crack, the man's hand broke.
A short while later, the three men in black collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.
Ning Hong then stomped on the head of one of the men in black, demanding, "Tell me, why did you attack our house?"
"If you refuse to talk, don't blame me for stomping your head on."
He used some force.
The man in black suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and his face, hidden behind the black cloth, changed instantly.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk. We didn’t come here to ambush you. We never intended to do anything to you.”
They weren't professional assassins to begin with, and they were already terrified by Ning Hongze's ruthless methods.
"So you sneaked into my and my brother's room in the middle of the night?"
"We've got the wrong room."
They originally intended to take advantage of the fact that Marquis Dingyuan was injured and kill him without anyone noticing.
Unexpectedly, the people who came to investigate were incredibly confused and ended up in the wrong room.
What surprised them even more was that the owner of this dilapidated house was so powerful.
They were beaten so badly that their arms and legs were broken in no time.
"Assassinate me?"
Mingjue slowly walked out of the room. To be honest, he wasn't surprised to be chased, but he was surprised by Ning Hongze's skills.
This person is definitely not an ordinary farm boy.
That ferocity is anything but ordinary.
He touched the wounds on his body that were still throbbing slightly. "Who was it? General Zhao, or General Li? And why? Did they collude with the Uyghurs?"
"We don't know that. Someone paid us to kill you. We don't know anything else."
"Search them and see if there are any clues."
Ning Hong then spoke, squatting down and groping the three men in black.
After touching it twice, Ning Hong wiped her hands away in disgust.
He pulled out a badge from his person, with the Li family's emblem clearly visible on it.
Mingjue's expression changed slightly.
But then Ning Hong said calmly, "So you're from the Zhao family."
"Can't you read? This clearly says it belongs to the Li family."
The man in black couldn't help but shout angrily.
The character "李" is so obvious above, doesn't he understand it?
"Oh, so you're from the Li family."
The man in black nodded.
His nod made not only Ming Jue realize that something was wrong, but even Ning Anuo, who looked completely bewildered, sense that something was amiss.
"This is such an obvious frame-up."
Jiang Cha covered her face, somewhat bewildered as to why the Zhao family would hire such a foolish person as an assassin.
The expression on his face was so obvious that it was immediately apparent.
Of course, they didn't know that these three people, although not professional assassins, were all extremely skilled. If they hadn't encountered Ning Hongze, they probably would have succeeded long ago, and they wouldn't have had this opportunity to interrogate them.
People from the Zhao family?
Mingjue frowned. He had always thought that he got along fairly well with the Zhao family, but there was still some distance between him and the young general from the Li family.
Unexpectedly, it was the Zhao family who attacked him.
"But why?"
"There are too many things one can do for power, fame, or profit."
Ning Hong then spoke calmly. He told Ning Anuo to bring over the rope and tied the three of them up tightly.
"Um—I don't really know who you are, but would you like to let everyone know that you're still alive?"
Of course, even if he knew the truth, he had to pretend he didn't. "Since the assassins have already been found, the person behind it all probably knows where you are. It's better to have your people protect you."
“You’re right.” His wounds hadn’t fully healed yet.
Besides, he didn't want to leave here anytime soon, so sending his people here was the best solution.
