Chapter 123: Take it and let it go
Shen Ning was frightened to death by Xu Zhiyi, but suddenly she found that he stopped... After a pause, he pulled her clothes back in place, raised his head and stood up.
Shen Ning's throat was dry, and she tried to say something nice to appease him: "I said it, Third Master is a gentleman, how could he bully the weak? This is all a misunderstanding, Third Master misunderstood me..."
Xu Zhiyi looked up at her, his expression dark and inexplicable: "Shut up, I'll settle this with you another day."
He asked, "Are you going back now?"
Shen Ning felt that he was ready to kill her if she dared to say no.
She hesitated and said, "I haven't packed my things yet."
"What's the point of cleaning up your junk?"
After saying that, Xu Zhiyi raised his head and said, "Return to Pingning..."
Shen Ning asked tentatively: "Aren't you going in?"
"There are already people watching inside. Besides...someone just disrupted us and we lost the opportunity. Even if we go in, we won't see anything. Why bother?"
Shen Ning coughed lightly: "Then please ask the Third Master to ask someone to tell Doctor Ye at the Wounded Soldiers' Hospital that I'm leaving."
She didn't mention Zhao Nan, and Xu Zhiyi didn't ask.
When it was almost dawn, their boat docked at Pingning Ferry. Shen Ning was a little nervous at first, but Xu Zhiyi didn't show up all night, and he didn't even show up when they got off the boat. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The inconspicuous guard beside Xu Zhiyi said politely and respectfully: "I have been ordered to escort Manager Shen."
Shen Ning thanked him and got on the carriage to go back.
Yuan Yue had already received the news and came to pick her up halfway, and then followed behind the carriage.
Perhaps it was because she returned to a familiar place, or perhaps because she met a reliable person, Shen Ning finally relaxed.
When they arrived at the door, Qiyue came out to greet them happily, but when she saw the guard who brought Chen Ning back, she suddenly frowned and rolled her eyes at him.
The man pursed his lips, then arched his hands towards Qiyue: “Miss Shen.”
July snorted.
Shen Ning was somewhat helpless: "Isn't it just that you lost the fight last time? Why are you so ungraceful? People have already said hello to you."
July then turned around reluctantly and clasped his fists towards the other party.
The first thing Shen Ning did when she got home was to take a good bath. Qi Yue was behind her, washing her hair and chatting with her about what had happened during the days she was away.
"...Especially that Mu Yao, who comes to our house every few days. I told her that you haven't come back yet, but she won't listen. She's so annoying."
Shen Ning was amused by her and couldn't stop laughing.
At the same time that Shen Ning and Qiyue were chatting, a carrier pigeon flew out from Xu's mansion.
Xu Zhiyi sat at the window and watched the carrier pigeon disappear in an instant. His usually frivolous and casual face actually showed a bit of irritation.
He had already investigated and knew that Shen Ning was not born by the couple in Shihe Village, but was picked up from the water.
Could it really be such a coincidence that the person he met was the baby from that year?
Here, Shen Ning left the Xinzhou Navy Camp, and the Navy Camp is now under the full charge of Xie Yuncheng.
"Xinzhou Prefect Tao Yongnian has been tried separately from Zhou Chenglu, but he is also very stubborn and refuses to say anything."
Xie Yuncheng gritted his teeth and cursed: "I don't know what these people are thinking. These traitors are so stubborn. They won't cry until they see the coffin."
Xiao Nanchen's expression was icy: "That's because they haven't given up yet."
Xie Yuncheng suddenly realized something: "Do they have a backup plan?"
Seeing Xiao Nanchen remained silent, clearly agreeing, Xie Yuncheng suddenly became nervous: "Your Highness, will the Fengning Iron Cavalry come?"
That was the invincible weapon under Prince Ding's command, and it entered a silent period after the accident of His Highness Prince Ding.
They seemed to have disappeared suddenly, but Xie Yuncheng knew that Prince Ding was here.
In other words, if necessary, the Fengning Iron Cavalry will march towards Xinzhou...
Xiao Nanchen glanced at him calmly, and Xie Yuncheng quickly shouted, "I'm not a thief, I'm just asking out of curiosity."
He knew that Xinzhou was rotten to the core. Even the commander-in-chief had problems. Who could guarantee his innocence?
Xie Yuncheng was afraid that His Royal Highness Prince Ding had become bloodthirsty and would kill him as a thief.
He didn't dare continue the topic. He coughed lightly and deliberately tried to find something that Prince Ding would like to hear: "Hey, why don't you see Doctor Ning?"
Xie Yuncheng's tone was rarely filled with praise: "Thanks to that garlic extract he made, the wounded in the infirmary have improved a lot. That... Your Highness has a good eye for talent."
But as soon as he finished speaking, His Royal Highness Prince Ding's expression, which was already gloomy, became even uglier.
Just thinking that this was an area he wasn't good at and his flattery wasn't adequate, Xie Yuncheng pondered and continued, "Actually, this situation of a homosexual couple sharing a peach isn't a big deal these days. Your Highness is wise and brave, and has foreseen everything... If you like men, then you like men."
At least the Rabbit God is not a vixen, but a miracle doctor who can cure diseases and save lives. This is already very good.
Xie Yuncheng felt that he should have performed well, but in the end, he was met with three cold words: "Get out."
He was immediately frustrated: "Yes."
As expected, flattery is not his forte... Why does he get angrier the more he flatters people?
The noisy Xie Yuncheng was driven away, and Xiao Nanchen was the only one left in the room.
He knew that Chen Ning had returned to Pingning with Xu Zhiyi.
The scene of her throwing herself into Xu Zhiyi's arms and being carried away last night appeared in front of her eyes, and Xiao Nanchen clenched his fists unconsciously.
Xu San was indeed born with a devilish appearance, and many young ladies in the capital liked him... In fact, who she liked or what type she liked had nothing to do with him.
She just treated him as her brother-in-law and younger brother, just like Shen Qingbai.
Thinking of Shen Qingbai, His Royal Highness Prince Ding couldn't help but recall what he had vowed to Shen Qingbai: Your sister loves me very much!
It turns out that he was just being too sentimental.
His Royal Highness Prince Ding was so sad, desperate and embarrassed that he became completely withdrawn. After a long time, he managed to cheer himself up and comfort himself.
Actually, it’s better this way. He used to think that Shen Ning was so deeply in love with him that he couldn’t bear to reject her, so he made one mistake after another and got trapped. Now that he knows he was wrong, he can just get out of it.
It is better than him being tortured by his conscience every day and feeling sorry for Zhao Mu.
This is also good. After all, there is nothing wrong between him and Shen Ning. He can just withdraw in time... He is the King Ding, he can take it and let it go!
That’s right, let’s just leave it like this from now on, just treat her as your sister-in-law.
"Chengying."
Xiao Nanchen spoke.
Chengying immediately flashed in and asked cautiously: "Master?"
"Go tell Pingning's people to keep her well protected from now on. No need to report who she gets close to or... is with."
Chengying glanced at his master tremblingly, then clasped his fists and bowed: "Yes."
