Chapter 495 Lingling Comes to Bring Warmth
The surrounding chatter was heard not only by Ning Bao but also by everyone else.
Su Jingshu glanced at her 15-year-old daughter, her eyes turning cold.
"This is so heartless! He's almost in his grave and he's still messing with teenagers."
The most hateful ones are those officials; without their indulgence and greed, the Liu family wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
Ning Bao glanced at Mu Chengju and the others at the opportune moment.
"Brothers, you mustn't do this when you become officials. As the saying goes, if an official doesn't serve the people, he might as well go home and grow rice."
Mu Chengju nodded.
"Don't worry, Ningbao, we won't..."
Ningbao nodded, waved her little fist at them, and said in a cute but fierce way,
"I hope not, otherwise I don't mind putting the greater good before family."
Su Jingshu gave Ning Bao a loving glare.
"Alright, the children in our Izumo Village are all sensible, this situation will definitely not happen."
It's a pity your father and elder brother aren't here, otherwise they could have used their power to put pressure on the officials here.
However, I think all of this is caused by money.
Su Jingshu gave Ning Bao a meaningful look as she spoke.
"If the Liu family runs out of money, will they be unable to squander it or bribe officials?"
Hearing Su Jingshu's words, Ning Bao, who was eating heartily, paused for a moment...
Su Jingshu looked at Mu Chengju as if nothing had happened.
"Chengju, go and book a few rooms at a nearby inn. We'll stay here tonight, explore the city this afternoon, and set off again tomorrow."
"Okay, Aunt Su."
Ning Bao raised an eyebrow...
After dinner, everyone settled into the inn and then went out for a stroll.
Ning Bao inquired about the Liu family's residence intentionally or unintentionally, and even "coincidentally" passed by it.
She glanced into the Liu residence and exclaimed, "Wow, it's glittering with gold and overflowing with wealth!"
They were almost at the capital. Hearing that most people in the capital were cunning and shrewd, Ningbao had a sudden inspiration and bought a lot of the best cinnabar and yellow paper in Siping City.
She felt that intrigue and backstabbing were incomplete without some minor assistance.
I heard that her father, the Prince of Zhenbei, wields considerable power in the capital. There are people who admire him, and there must be many who are jealous of him, not to mention his enemies.
Otherwise, her mother wouldn't have had an accident when she gave birth to her.
Moreover, they encountered two assassination attempts on their way back.
However, those assassins were just small fry in her eyes.
.........................
Ningbao spent the afternoon shopping and bought a lot of things. After having dinner early, she went back to her room and put the little girls to bed.
Just as dawn broke, Ningbao, who had been fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and jumped out of bed.
Leng Xue and Leng Wu, who were sleeping on the ground, also sat up. Ning Bao glanced at them.
"Cold Snow, Cold Fog, it's still early, you two should sleep a little longer."
Leng Xue shook her head.
“Master, I will go with you.”
Ningbao gave her a helpless, coquettish glare.
"With your mediocre skills, what are you going to do?"
All four of you are my darlings, just with different strengths. You are good at makeup, meticulous, and good at needlework.
You manage my clothes and makeup perfectly, and Leng Wu is a skilled cook who arranges all my meals properly, so I've become quite plump and healthy.
Leng Bing and Leng Shuang are skilled in martial arts, so you can leave the safety to them. You and Leng Wu can focus on internal affairs, while Leng Bing and Leng Shuang can focus on external affairs.
"Sweetie, go to sleep."
