Chapter 166 Returning to the mansion to question, she suddenly fainted.
"Ding~Ding~Ding~"
The copper ring knocked on the wooden door. After a moment, with a drawn-out "Here she comes~", the heavy door opened from the inside. Lao Zhong saw who was coming and was very surprised.
"Third Miss! What are you doing..."
Jiang Ning stepped in, leaving Lao Zhong's voice behind, and walked straight to Nangong Muyan's yard.
Halfway through the walk, two more exclamations came from the side: "Third Miss!"
Jiang Ning turned her head and saw that it was Jin Hui and Sheng Jing.
After nodding to the two of them, Jiang Ning kept walking and continued to walk towards that yard.
"Third Miss is back, I'm going to tell the adults!" Jin Hui left Sheng Jing and hurried to the study.
Before Jiang Ning approached the yard, a melodious piano sound came from inside. It was a very familiar tune. She carefully identified it and found it was "Fishermen
's Song at Dusk". It was a song from the 20th century, a special BGM for weather forecasts. It was obvious who was playing the piano.
Jiang Ning walked into the yard, and as expected, she saw Nangong Muyan playing the piano in the small pavilion in the yard. Outside the pavilion stood Xiaoru, the maid who had served her before.
The moment Jiang Ning entered the yard, Nangong Muyan raised her head and glanced at her.
Seeing her walking towards the pavilion, Nangong Muyan said lightly: "Xiaoru, you step back."
Xiaoru turned around and saw Jiang Ning. She nodded and respectfully called: "Third Miss."
"Go down and get busy." Jiang Ning looked at Xiaoru and said.
Nangong Muyan played the piano by herself, and she didn't stop even when Jiang Ning sat opposite her and stared at her.
Her ten fingers plucked the strings, and the melodious piano sound poured out, making people seem to see the endless blue waves under the setting sun, the fishermen on the river rowing leisurely, and the fishing boats drifting away with the waves.
"You are in a good mood!" Jiang Ning listened for a while and said indifferently.
Nangong Muyan raised the corners of her lips and smiled charmingly: "If you give me an old-fashioned computer that can play Tetris..."
Jiang Ning was silent, she also wanted to play.
Nangong Muyan glanced at her again, smiling somewhat helplessly: "Now I finally understand why the ancients had lofty aspirations. They were so idle playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs all day long."
"That's the truth." Jiang Ning agreed.
"Do you regret it now? When I taught you, you had neither talent nor patience. How do you pass the time in this ancient time? You can't have sex every day, right?"
After Nangong Muyan finished speaking, he saw a blush on Jiang Ning's ears, and immediately laughed so hard that his body trembled.
"Don't talk nonsense! Just play your piano, I have something to ask you after you finish playing."
Jiang Ning hated Nangong Muyan teasing her with words, making her feel like a child.
"Okay~"
Nangong Muyan responded, stopped talking, and concentrated on playing the piano.
When the song ended, Nangong Muyan withdrew her hand, picked up the teapot and poured herself a glass of water, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Ning stared into her eyes and said straight to the point: "You and Zhou Yi--"
"Bang!"
Jiang Ning looked at the teacup that shattered in Nangong Muyan's hand. Before she could say a word, she saw that the smile on her face had disappeared. Her eyes were murderous and her voice was cold and frightening: "Did he tell you everything?"
Jiang Ning hadn't seen Nangong Muyan with this expression for a long time. She was stunned for a while, and shook her head after a while, and told the truth: "He didn't say anything, he just drank every day to drown his sorrows. I saw that he was not in a good condition, so I asked him about it. I knew that the matter was related to you, so I came to ask you."
Nangong Muyan let out a breath calmly, her expression eased a little, poured herself a glass of water again, and said lightly: "Don't ask, and don't mention this person in front of me in the future."
"What did you do to him? Zhou Yi would never take the initiative to provoke you, you must have done something to him!"
The more Nangong Muyan tried to cover up, the more Jiang Ning wanted to get to the bottom of it. At least after understanding the facts, she could prescribe the right medicine and not let Zhou Yi continue to be so depressed.
"Heh!" Nangong Muyan sneered with an ambiguous tone: "N, I taught you not to meddle in things that you shouldn't meddle in."
Jiang Ning narrowed her eyes and then smiled.
Nangong Muyan called her "N" at this time as a warning.
But this kind of warning was also a kind of cowardly guilty conscience.
They knew each other too well. When Nangong Muyan saw Jiang Ning's expression, she knew that she had failed to scare her, so she made a prompt decision and got up and left.
"Zhou Yi's matter is not a trivial matter. He is my brother and I will take care of it!"
Jiang Ning stood up and grabbed Nangong Muyan's shoulder, trying to stop him.
Nangong Muyan dodged her hand by leaning aside. Anger appeared between her eyebrows. She gathered her strength in her arm and elbowed Jiang Ning in the abdomen. At the same time, she raised her leg to sweep her across the face.
Jiang Ning knew that this set of moves was to force her to retreat. Unfortunately, Nangong Muyan's body was not as fast and strong as before, and it was not a threat to her at all.
So Jiang Ning did not retreat but advanced. She stretched out her hand to block the hand that attacked her abdomen, clamped Nangong Muyan's arm, and pulled him to the side with force.
Nangong Muyan's center of gravity was unstable immediately, and the attack from her leg missed. She fell to the ground under the force of Jiang Ning's hand.
"Ling'er, Yan'er! What are you doing?" Nangong Ya's angry voice suddenly rang out from outside the pavilion.
Jiang Ning ignored him and just stared at Nangong Muyan on the ground and said, "I don't want to fight with you, tell me the truth."
Nangong Muyan frowned and tried to get up by holding onto the ground, but suddenly a sharp pain came from her abdomen. She felt her eyes go black and her consciousness was uncontrollably pulled into the abyss.
"Hey!"
Seeing Nangong Muyan's face turn pale as paper in an instant, Jiang Ning was startled and quickly squatted down to support her in her arms, but she saw that she was frowning tightly even in a coma, and she looked very painful.
"Hey! What's wrong with you? Wake up!"
Jiang Ning patted Nangong Muyan's face anxiously, but the person in her arms didn't respond at all.
"What are you doing? What on earth are you doing? What's wrong with Yan'er?"
Nangong Ya rushed into the pavilion with Jin Yao and Jin Hui, shouting at the top of his lungs, his voice trembling with anger, not showing any of the maturity and composure he showed in front of outsiders.
Jiang Ning picked the person up and walked into the bedroom, saying in a cold voice: "What's the point of you shouting louder? Why not go get a doctor for her?"
Nangong Ya was so breathless by this nonchalant attitude that he almost fainted.
He heard Jin Hui say that the third young lady was back, and he was originally happy to come to see his daughter and ask her why she left without saying goodbye and ran to Qushui City. But who knew that when he came in, he saw the two daughters fighting, and then the second daughter was pushed to the ground and unconscious, and the third daughter didn't take him seriously and left with the person.
Nangong Ya stood there, feeling his head "buzzing", as if he had been hit by a club.
"Sir, I'll go call Li Jiu."
Seeing that Nangong Ya was about to get angry, Jin Hui ran to the side hall where the guards lived without waiting for his order.
Seeing this, Jin Yao also hurriedly spoke to comfort him, with deep sympathy in his eyes: "Sir, don't worry, go into the house first, wait for Li Jiu to come over to see the second lady, everything will be fine."
Nangong Ya took a few deep breaths and calmed himself: "Let's go."
