Chapter 55 Falling into the Trap
You know me.
"Miss, what are you saying? How could I possibly know someone from such a prominent family as yours?"
Fang Ya said, "It was just that young master said that if a girl came, she would be accompanied by a fat man."
"There might be another one with a bad temper, so let me give this to you."
Who are you calling fat?
"Who are you saying is charging in?"
Peony and Shen Ruzhi spoke in unison.
Fang Ya shrugged and slipped away. After all, he had already taken the money, so it was none of his business who used the house.
Jiang Wan Ning frowned slightly, opened the letter,
"Who is this? They want you to go to Shidinglou Restaurant, and you have to go alone?"
Shen Ruzhi glanced at the contents of the letter, "This old lady insists on going along."
"He robbed someone's shop and then acted all mysterious. I'll break his dog teeth!"
"How about we go to another shop?" Yu Hai said. "It's not safe for you to go alone."
“No need,” Jiang Wan Ning refused. “Choosing something else would just waste a lot of time.”
"Let's go see who it is first."
"It would be best to get the shop back."
"Then we'll go with you. We'll be right at the entrance so we can get there as soon as possible if anything happens."
Jiang Wan Ning hesitated for a moment, then said, "I know martial arts."
"I know, but what if they outnumber us..."
"What I mean is to have Peony take you back first. Zhizhi and I can stay here."
"But what if you..."
"When I said 'shameless,' Ningning meant that if a fight really broke out, I'd have to be distracted to protect you, understand?"
"Don't worry, my sister and I are notorious playboys in the capital, no one dares to mess with us."
Jiang Wan Ning's eyebrows twitched. "The use of the word '们' is quite brilliant."
She didn't even know when she had become a spoiled brat.
Yu Haiyi said righteously, "How can we let women always be at the forefront? I have to do something."
"You guys hold on for now, I'll go back to your prince and get reinforcements."
Since both of them are locals and hold considerable status here, I won't try to be a hero.
As Yu Hai spoke, he grabbed Shaoyao and started to leave, saying, "Little girl, how good are you? Can you protect me?"
Judging from this letter, someone knows about their plan and is trying to obstruct it.
There will definitely be an ambush if we go there; people in ancient times were really cunning.
Peony patted her chest and said, "Don't worry."
"I can take a beating."
"Hmm...hmm?" Yu Hai's eyes widened.
"His martial arts skills are not bad either."
Yu Hai breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't punctuate like that next time, it'll scare people to death."
On the other side.
"Ningning, look at him! What a coward! Whoever marries him is doomed."
Shen Ruzhi pointed at Yu Hai's fleeing figure.
Jiang Wanning smiled and said, "Let's go take a look."
The two arrived at the place mentioned in the letter and went up to the second floor, where a servant outside stopped Chen Ruzhi.
"Our young master said that he only wants to see Miss Jiang."
Shen Ruzhi clenched her fist, wanting to punch it, but Jiang Wanning gave her a reassuring look, signaling her to calm down.
"You stay here for now, I'll go in and take a look."
This is the capital city, and it's broad daylight. She is the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family; no one would be foolish enough to choose this place to attack her.
They were just too nervous.
Jiang Wanning pushed open the door and entered. A man dressed in white had his back to her.
"Your Highness?"
The man in white turned around. "Ningning."
Jiang Wan Ning frowned. "Why is it you?"
Pei Anqing stepped over the coffee table and strode to Jiang Wanning's side. "I want to see you."
"Did you sell that shop?"
"I heard it from the servants when I returned home last night. I was thinking of giving you a surprise today, Ningning. Why didn't you tell me you needed money?"
“I can give it to you.”
Pei Anqing reached out and grabbed Jiang Wanning's hand, saying, "I can give you everything."
Jiang Wan Ning took two steps back slightly to the side, avoiding Pei An Qing's outstretched hand, and said with disgust, "Your Highness, please have some self-respect."
"Ningning." Pei Anqing looked dejected. "Ningning, I know about Jiang Wanru. I was wrong."
"I shouldn't have succumbed to temptation; I've been thinking of you a lot these days."
"I swear, from now on I will only love you, okay? Will I ever touch Jiang Wanru again?"
Jiang Wan Ning sneered inwardly.
You've gotten so fat and made a fool of yourself. It's not that you can't, it's that you don't want to.
"Ningning, please stop being angry with me, okay? I know you have feelings for me, otherwise why didn't you go to see him at the Prince's Mansion yesterday?"
"But he passed by my yard several times."
Jiang Wanning: "......"
That's because Mom was on her way to the kitchen to catch a rabbit, and she was just passing by!
"Your Highness, please have some self-respect." Jiang Wan Ning's voice was distant and cold. "I am now considered your mother."
"What mother! He is not my father, you all already know that."
"He already said it in public, but he's only seven years older than me."
"Oh? Then why don't you ask the prince to change your position as heir apparent? Go and make your own contributions and earn fame?"
"Didn't the imperial edict already say that that day?"
"I...I..." Pei Anqing clenched his fists, then changed the subject, "Ningning, I came here today to tell you."
"Although he is not much older than me, he has been poisoned and will not live much longer."
"Don't listen to what the imperial edict says. He just got it to deceive you."
"After he dies, I will be the Prince of Langya, and you will still be the Princess of Langya. Wouldn't it be better if we continued as before?"
"His poison can be cured."
"Hmph, only you are so naive as to believe that," Pei Anqing said. "There is no antidote for the poison he was given."
Jiang Wan Ning was too lazy to explain to him.
She turned to leave, but was grabbed by the person behind her, "Ningning."
"I have already admitted my mistake, why are you still so stubborn?"
Pei Anqing admitted that she initially only wanted to make Pei Yanchuan uncomfortable, but after truly realizing the consequences of losing Jiang Wanning...
His heart ached slightly.
He used to have an affair with Jiang Wanru behind Jiang Wanning's back, and he found it exciting and wonderful.
But now, seeing Jiang Wanru again, I feel annoyed.
Every time I see Jiang Wan Ning, my heart flutters.
Jiang Wan Ning forcefully shook off Pei An Qing's hand that was gripping her arm, "Get away!"
"How dare you!"
"Hahahaha... Me, being presumptuous?" Pei Anqing said maniacally, "I haven't done anything even more presumptuous yet."
Do you think you can get out of here today?
"Smack!"
Jiang Wan Ning slapped Pei An Qing hard across the face, "How could the Prince have adopted such a beast as you, you ingrate!"
"I'll say it again: since you can't bear to give up this position as heir apparent, even if he's younger than you, he's still your father, and I'm your future mother!"
"What does age matter when it comes to adoptive fathers?"
Pei Anqing's expression suddenly changed. "You're just going to defend him like this?"
"I've already given you a way out several times, don't be ungrateful."
"Now that you've come, don't even think about leaving unscathed."
"I want to see if Pei Yanchuan would want a wanton slut!"
Jiang Wan Ning didn't want to pay attention to Pei An Qing and turned to leave, but her consciousness suddenly began to blur.
My whole body became burning hot, and my throat was unbearably dry.
Jiang Wan Ning noticed the incense on the coffee table and realized that she had been drugged.
