As An Shangning spoke, he bowed deeply to Xie Lingqin, “The capital is fraught with danger. The Emperor is putting pressure on us from above, Miss Li from the Minister’s Mansion is on our left, and we are surrounded by wolves on our right. In the middle, there is the imperial marriage in a month, and guests from all countries are eyeing us covetously. So, Sister Lingqin, be careful.”
"Wait a moment."
Xie Lingqin suddenly called out to An Shangning, who was about to leave, and sighed almost helplessly, "Which way are you going when you leave this time?"
"I'll go to the border; I'll wait for Zhuidamu there."
"Then, before you leave, go find Bai Yu and tell him that I asked him to buy some of the things last time. You'll definitely need them."
Although An Shangning was puzzled, he did not ask.
"A few days ago, a torrential rainstorm hit a remote city in Beirong." Xie Lingqin said only this much and then said no more.
An Shangning was incredibly clever. He nodded, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and left through the window.
Xie Lingqin sat down silently, picked up the tea that had gone cold on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
A chill spread from my throat to my heart.
Why is it that eight out of ten things in life are so unsatisfactory?
She simply liked a man and wanted to marry him, yet she refused.
An Shangning is such a good woman, all she wants is to avenge her father and clear her name, yet she must marry a barbarian to find what she desires...
Feeling depressed, Xie Lingqin sat there quietly, her whole body shrouded in frost.
What kind of world is this?
Was it right or wrong for her to save An Shangning back then?
If she hadn't saved her that day, could she have escaped this heavy shackle? Even if she died, at least she would have been at ease.
"broken--"
The teacup in my hand suddenly shattered.
Xie Lingqin snapped out of her daze, her eyes narrowing slightly as she looked at the exquisitely crafted teacup in her hand.
It turned out she was angry again.
"Miss."
Upon hearing the sound, Zihe and Tridacna entered at the same time. Looking at the tea stains and fragments on the table, the two exchanged a glance, clearly startled.
"Miss……"
Xie Lingqin raised her hand to stop them, "It's alright, you guys tidy up here, I want to sleep for a while."
"But……"
Zihe hesitated, but at Tridacna's prompting, she and Tridacna carefully cleaned up the broken cup fragments before closing the door and preparing to leave the room.
"Is something wrong?"
Xie Lingqin suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Tridacna immediately turned around, "Miss, it's Young Master."
"Didn't he come back last night and was supposed to go back to the academy today?"
"After you left the manor today, the young master was summoned into the study by General Xie and has not come out yet. Moreover, I just heard that the general has sent someone to Ning Xiucai's place to invite Ning Yi."
"This father is not taking the patient approach and is really going to resort to force?"
Xie Lingqin paused as she was about to undress and get into bed. The next moment, she turned around and said, "Leave the giant clam shell here. Zihe, come with me to take a look."
"yes."
...
---Aside---
Qin'er didn't want An Shangning to suffer any injustice, so the chapter title has a double meaning.
