Chapter 337: Ambition is a good thing

After hearing Xie Zhuoning's question, Xiaolian did not panic. She lowered her head but looked neither humble nor arrogant.

"Who wouldn't be moved by such a god-like figure like you? But Xiaolian knows that I am of humble status and dare not covet the bright moon in the sky, so I will never cross the line. Please rest assured, Madam."

Every sentence seems to be within the rules, but every word clearly goes beyond the rules.

It's a good thing to be ambitious.

Xie Zhuoning looked her up and down, and seeing that she had a pretty face and a good figure, and seemed to be quite scheming, he became more and more satisfied.

“In fact, sometimes the bright moon seems to be hanging high in the sky, but if you don’t try to reach it, how can you know that you can’t reach it?”

"Ah?" Such an obvious hint confused Xiaolian.

She was about to ask if that was what she was thinking, but Xie Zhuoning yawned and said, "I want to take a bath. Go get me some water."

She gritted her teeth and suppressed her impatience, "Yes."

Soon, the bathtub was filled with warm water.

Xiaolian took off Xie Zhuoning's clothes and helped her into the tub.

Looking at her jade-white skin and her exquisite curves, she said sourly, "Madam, your skin is really good. Young Master must like it very much, right?"

Xie Zhuoning sighed and said to Gu Ying with self-pity, "What's the point of having good skin? You can't have children."

"Madam, you can't have children?!" Xiaolian stopped pouring water on her hands when she heard this.

"Yes, I was born with a cold and cannot get pregnant." Xie Zhuoning sighed heavily and said with a melancholy face, "To be honest, we went out this time to find a cure. But every doctor who saw me said there was no cure."

Xiaolian's heart skipped a beat, and she continued to test him, "Then the young master doesn't have a concubine?"

"He may be concerned about his promise to me, so he didn't dare to mention this matter, but I can't help but consider his future, so I have been looking for candidates for him, but there has been no suitable one. Until I met you."

Having said this, Xie Zhuoning grabbed Xiaolian's hand, looking very excited.

"You know what? When I saw you, I felt like we were familiar with each other, as if we were a family in our last life, Xiaohua!"

Although this was very touching, Xiaolian couldn't help but remind him, "My name is Xiaolian."

"It's not important," Xie Zhuoning asked relentlessly, "Are you willing to give birth to a child for me?"

Xiaolian was very excited when she heard this.

Even though we don't know the identities of these people, from their behavior, manners, conversations and appearance, we can tell that they are all decent people and must be from wealthy families.

Moreover, the young master is handsome and elegant, and the lady is kind and gentle, but most importantly, she is infertile.

If she becomes pregnant, she will be the biological mother of the future heir of the big family.

You will enjoy endless glory in the future.

She couldn't hide the smile on her lips, and said with a blushing face, "I don't know what you mean by that, young master."

Xie Zhuoning's lips twitched, "From what I saw today, he probably doesn't dislike you. I'll create some opportunities for you, and if you take the initiative, he'll be tempted. As a man, how can you refuse a beautiful woman's advances? Don't you agree, Xiaohua?"

Xiaolian: “…”

She felt that this person seemed to be a little bit mentally unstable.

But it doesn't matter, it's exactly what I want.

She lowered her head, her eyes flashing with brilliance, "Xiao Lian always listens to Madam."

Xie Zhuoning nodded, and then seemed to remember something, and asked in a low voice, "Oh, by the way, can you secretly get me some laxatives?"

Hearing this request, Xiaolian was stunned, "Madam, what do you want laxatives for?"

Xie Zhuoning looked embarrassed, "I haven't been feeling well lately. But you see, they are all big guys. I can't tell them about this hidden illness."

After saying this, he gave her a look that showed she understood.

Xiaolian said she understood, "Don't worry, Madam. I'll go ask the store if they have it later."

Unexpectedly, she acted quickly and found the things before going to bed.

Xie Zhuoning opened the paper package, took a look at it, nodded with satisfaction, and wrapped it again.

Xiaolian was startled, "Madam, aren't you going to eat now?"

With a slight smile, Xie Zhuoning carefully put away the medicine bag and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it tomorrow. You should go and have a rest too."

Looking back at the medicine bag, Xiaolian bit her lower lip and said, "Yes."

After the man turned off the lights and walked out, Xie Zhuoning took out the medicine bag again and looked at it.

Which inn always has laxatives available?

When she asks for it, people give it to her. Isn't she afraid that it will ruin the reputation of the inn if it is added to the food?

Not to mention the shadow guards around Ye Wuque, each of them has vicious eyes.

It's very interesting that Xiaolian was able to get some medicine under such circumstances.

What's more, it is still unknown whether this medicine is a laxative.

Xie Zhuoning chuckled and closed his eyes.

Tomorrow, there will be fun.

…

This day in the capital was not a peaceful day.

Even though Xiao Jinxuan already had a rough guess, Daye was so big, there were tens of millions of roads to Northern Qi and tens of millions of roads to Western Chu. Every day he had to pick out clues that were useful to him from the mountains and seas of information that flowed into the capital.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

When he couldn't find any clues, he sent people to look for trouble with the Yin family and the Sima family.

Even Empress Sima and Empress Dowager Yin who was far away in Fu'an Temple were not spared.

Emperor Zhaowen had also said before that it would be enough for him to do so.

But he always had complete evidence and never wrongly accused anyone.

As a result, Queen Mother Yin and Empress Sima have recently issued orders one after another, asking them to restrain their family members and subordinates and not let him get any hold of them.

However, these two tribes are deeply rooted in Daye and have flourished, and there are always places that cannot be managed.

On this day, the Sima family handed new evidence to the Yufu Division.

"Penang County Magistrate Sima Yi relied on his status as a branch of the Sima clan to do whatever he wanted and embezzle wealth. His brother-in-law Wang Ba even relied on his brother-in-law's power to bully the people in the village and committed many crimes."

"But it can be considered as retribution for their evil deeds. It is said that when Wang Ba was raping a woman, he met a couple who saw injustice and had their limbs cut off and put in an altar to be turned into a human pig. It's really satisfying!"

"Why did I hear that it was done by the Northern Qi people?"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I told you that any news about Northern Qi must be reported immediately!"

The two Feiyun Guards quickly sorted out the matter and brought it to Xiao Jinxuan.

Xiao Jinxuan looked at the few short lines of words, "A couple... a couple..."

That is, one man and one woman.

Could it be that Aning is among them?

He stood up suddenly and walked out quickly, "Prepare the horses, and go to Penang!"

Ling Xiao was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Heading to Penang now?

But it’s dark now!

But when he saw his master's majestic back, he swallowed all the words and immediately followed.

Ride as fast as you can and gallop all the way.

Finally arrived in Penang.

Xiao Jinxuan asked people to call the witnesses at the time and recalled the scene bit by bit.

"Oh my god, that young man is so handsome. I want to marry him when I see him."

"A woman? She's wearing a veil, so I can't see her face clearly."

"By the way, they were wearing the most expensive couple's outfits from our Penang Garment Shop. They looked like wealthy people."

"Yes, they bought clothes from me, and they were very generous. But the husband was so scary, like a madman. Oh, by the way, the young lady said that if anyone comes to ask about their whereabouts, let me say three words."

"Which three words?"

"The night is perfect."

As soon as these three words came out, Xiao Jinxuan immediately raised his head!
