Chapter 128 Returning to the Prime Minister's Residence, Keeping Calm

Jiang Ning didn't listen carefully to what Liu Ming'an said afterwards, because she was thinking about something else.

"Liu Ming'an."

Jiang Ning raised her head in Liu Ming'an's arms, looked at him seriously in the bright moonlight outside the window and said, "I want to go back to the Prime Minister's Residence!"

Liu Ming'an's body suddenly froze, and before he could say anything, he heard Jiang Ning continue to say, "I have already found out that the person who hurt me was my second sister, Nangong Muyan, and the accomplices were the Prime Minister's Residence's housekeeper and my maid Dongmei, and the whole thing was caused by Rui Wang Yuwenxuan molesting me after drinking."

"A Ning..." Liu Ming'an called her, but didn't know what to say.

"I will take care of everything, and then marry you as the daughter of the prime minister. Trust me, okay?" Jiang Ning was reluctant to say anything more. There were too many killings in her plan, so she could only say this.

Liu Ming'an didn't speak for a long time. Just when Jiang Ning wanted to say something else, his voice mixed with sighs came from above her head: "A Ning, be careful."

"I will." Jiang Ning promised solemnly.

A gentle kiss fell on her lips. Jiang Ning could feel Liu Ming'an's sadness. After the kiss ended, she whispered: "The high wall of the prime minister's mansion can't stop me. I can secretly climb over the wall to see you."

"Be careful." Liu Ming'an still said so.

"Yeah."

The next day, after breakfast, Liu Ming'an asked: "Are you leaving now?"

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.

She didn't know when Nangong Muyan would come back, so it would be best if she could go back before them.

"Eat your meal well, don't mess around like you did before I came." Jiang Ning told her worriedly, she was really afraid that Liu Ming'an would start eating porridge all the time again.

"Okay." Liu Ming'an nodded in agreement, looking at Jiang Ning with deep reluctance in his eyes.

Jiang Ning pushed the door open and left. Liu Ming'an stood there in a daze. After a moment, he put his hand on his beating heart, only to feel that it was empty. At

9 o'clock, Jiang Ning walked to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Looking at this mansion again in the daytime, it seemed even more solemn and dignified. Eight steps of bluestone platforms led to a wide area in front of the gate, followed by a dark red door with a thumb-thick copper ring on it.

Without any pause, Jiang Ning stepped onto the steps, walked to the door, stretched out her hand to grab the copper ring and knocked on the door.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The copper ring hit the wooden door with a dull sound. After waiting for a while, a voice came from behind the door: "I'm here~"

Jiang Ning listened to the person behind the door taking off the bolt, and then the heavy door was opened from the inside, and the face of a middle-aged man appeared behind the door.

It was the "Old Zhong" who opened the door for Butler Ma last night.

Old Zhong slowly opened the door, wondering who came to ask the adults for help again. He was thinking about how to get rid of him, but when he saw the face of the person outside the door clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Third, Third Miss!" Old Zhong was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

Old Zhong vaguely knew something about what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion last night. It was related to the Third Miss, but he didn't know it completely. Anyway, the Prime Minister was furious, and Steward Ma had been locked up in the dungeon. Old Zhong turned misfortune into fortune, and now he is the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Seeing the Third Miss who had disappeared for half a year standing outside the door, Old Zhong held the door and just stared at her blankly.

"Are you going to stop me outside?" Jiang Ning asked Old Zhong, who was hesitant to move.

"No, no!" Old Zhong quickly opened the door and respectfully made way: "Third Miss, please come in, please come in..."

Jiang Ning stepped over the high threshold and entered the mansion, and asked again: "Where is my father?"

"The master went to court. If there is nothing, he should be back in an hour or so." Old Zhong replied hurriedly.

"Where is Jin Yao?" "

Master Jin Yao went out early in the morning and is not in the mansion."

Jiang Ning nodded, indicating that she understood. Jin Yao should have gone to find her along the line of Wei Fangxiong.

Jiang Ning only knew the way to the study, and had no idea about the layout of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. After entering the door, she took two slow steps and asked knowingly: "Where is Dongmei?"

"Uh...that..." Lao Zhong smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. It was not until Jiang Ning asked again that he answered hesitantly: "Miss San, Dongmei made a mistake and can't serve you in the future."

"Oh, so, then find me another maid." Jiang Ning followed suit.

Lao Zhong was afraid that Jiang Ning would ask more questions, so he nodded hurriedly when he heard her say this: "Of course, of course, then Miss San, you wait here, I'll call a few maids over for you to choose."

Jiang Ning said "hmm", watched Lao Zhong go to the side, walked to the wall by herself, and looked up at the blooming red plums.

She has no memory of Nangong Ling, this is a fact that cannot be changed no matter what. But as long as the degree is well grasped, "amnesia" can also be a means, a means to explore people's hearts.

Jiang Ning waited for about a quarter of an hour, and Lao Zhong came back, followed by seven or eight maids with lowered eyebrows and obedient eyes.

"Miss Third, please pick one to serve you personally." Lao Zhong asked the maids to stand in a row, and walked behind Jiang Ning and said.

Jiang Ning raised her hand casually and pointed to the one at the edge: "Let's pick her."

Lao Zhong said "Oh", walked over and waved his hand: "You guys go and get busy!"

The others dispersed, and the maid at the edge was brought to Jiang Ning.

Old Zhong introduced: "The third young lady, her name is Xiaoru, she has been working in the kitchen before."

Xiaoru raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Jiang Ning, then immediately lowered her head and bowed to her: "I have seen the third young lady."

Jiang Ning turned to look at Old Zhong and said: "I will go back to my room to rest first, and you can come to me when my father comes back."

Old Zhong nodded and said "yes", and then heard Jiang Ning tell Xiaoru: "Lead the way."

After the master and servant walked away one after another, Old Zhong looked at the graceful third young lady and realized it was a little strange.

How can the master follow the servant?

In addition, the third young lady always kept her head down and spoke timidly and softly to others before, but now she has an indescribable sense of majesty that makes people dare not ignore her. This is a very familiar feeling, but Old Zhong couldn't remember it for a while.

When Lao Zhong saw Nangong Ya returning home from court at noon, he looked at the Prime Minister in his official uniform and with a stern expression, and a thought flashed through his mind: the Third Young Lady just now had a very Prime Minister-like demeanor!

Jiang Ning followed Xiao Ru to a small courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was also full of plum blossoms.

After entering the house, Jiang Ning looked at the house that had been empty for several months but was still spotless, and realized that someone cleaned it regularly. Jiang Ning

asked Xiao Ru for confirmation: "After I left, was it my father who arranged for someone to clean the house?"

Xiao Ru nodded and said, "Yes, the adults also told us not to mess around with things here."

"Well, you go down, I'll take a rest." Jiang Ning wanted to get Xiao Ru out of the way and take a look at where Nangong Ling lived.

After Xiao Ru left, Jiang Ning got up and walked around the house slowly.

On the dressing table, there are a few jade hairpins, earrings, pearls, and bracelets, all of which are simple and inconspicuous. In the closet are all kinds of dresses, shoes and socks, for spring, summer, autumn and winter. The colors are mostly plain and light, and the styles are simple and conventional.

From the style of dressing, and then thinking of Yuwen Yan's impression of Nangong Ling, Jiang Ning guessed that she was a relatively closed person. She didn't want to attract attention in the crowd, and she has been trying to minimize her presence.

There is a pile of books on the bookshelf. Jiang Ning went over and saw that the outermost row was filled with the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Classics, History, and Miscellaneous Works. In the inconspicuous place inside, there is a pile of miscellaneous books.

Jiang Ning picked up one of the books and saw the words "Legend of the Red-Clothed Fox Demon" on the cover. She couldn't help but chuckled: "You and I are very different, but we have the same hobby. We are destined to be together."

It was still early and Nangong Ya had left court at some point. Jiang Ning had nothing to do, so she lay down on the couch with a book to kill time.
