Chapter 224 The Lost Bra
Shen Nian ran directly to the edge of Shen Ning's hot spring pool. In the misty water, she couldn't see Shen Ning's face clearly, but she could see that there was only one person in the pool.
How could this be? This shouldn't be the case. Mu Huali had clearly understood the hints from her and Xu Wanqing, and had come early as promised.
Where are the people?
"Hey, what are you doing?" Xie Lingyue followed in and looked at Shen Nian.
"I, I went the wrong way. I was looking for Sister Wanqing."
"Then your eye problem is quite serious. You'd better go to the Imperial Hospital for a check-up as soon as possible." Xie Lingyue sneered.
Shen Nian glanced into the pool unwillingly again, then turned around and walked out.
The mist filled the air, successfully blocking Xie Lingyue's sight. Shen Ning only saw her standing there, with a smile on her face: "Are you ready? Do you need your cousin to help you get dressed?"
Xiao Nanchen in the water:?
Shen Ning smiled: "No need."
Xie Lingyue sighed, looking very regretful: "Then we'll wait for you outside. Hurry up, if you dawdle, don't blame your cousin for going in to help you."
Shen Ning: ...
Even if Xie Lingyue didn't joke, there was someone in the water, and Shen Ning didn't dare to bother. After all, whether Xiao Nanchen was discovered bathing with her or His Royal Highness Prince Ding suffocated himself to death, it was not what she wanted to see.
Summer clothes were thin, so Shen Ning couldn't just put her skirt on over her wet tube top. Seeing Xiao Nanchen hiding in the water with his back to her, she quickly tore off her wet tube top, changed into a clean one, and then put on her outer skirt. She threw the dirty clothes into the basket outside, and someone would pick them up, wash them, and send them back...
Shen Ning twisted her wet hair and walked to Xie Lingyue and Xiao Yu: "Okay, let's go out."
The sounds outside were getting farther and farther away. Xiao Nanchen emerged from the water, let out a long sigh, and leaned on the edge of the hot spring pool.
The shock of being almost frank with Shen Ning before was quite great. His Highness Prince Ding couldn't recover for a while. The moment he closed his eyes, he saw Shen Ning's white, soft shoulders and slender collarbone in the mist...
Just then, I felt something on the side of my neck.
Xiao Nanchen turned his head and saw a thin piece of moon-colored cloth embroidered with elegant bamboo.
It was the tube top that Shen Ning had taken off.
She was in a hurry to change her clothes just now, and she raised her hand to throw it away. In her haste, she didn't notice and dropped the bra here.
The moment he picked up the cloth, Xiao Nanchen's Adam's apple tightened slightly.
Just now, this small dress was wrapped wetly on Shen Ning's chest...
Holding Xiaoyi's hand, His Royal Highness Prince Ding sank into the water. He felt a little self-loathing, but he couldn't control himself. He leaned his head back on the edge of the hot spring where he had just bathed with Shen Ning, closed his eyes and took a long breath.
The water ripples slightly...
Chen Ning, Xie Lingyue and Xiao Yu left the Tangchi restaurant together. Before leaving, they turned their heads to look at Xu Wanqing and Shen Nian who were standing beside them, with a deep coldness in their eyes.
"What happened? Why didn't Mu Huali look for Chen Ning?" Chen Nian lowered his voice.
Xu Wanqing shook her head: "I don't know either. Perhaps Mu Huali is timid and afraid of Prince Ding."
But no matter what, the plan that the two had carefully planned ultimately failed.
Xu Wanqing thought about replying to Xiao Bi, and after separating from Shen Nian, she went to Concubine Xu's palace while thinking about how to tell Xiao Bi, or, should she put all the blame on Shen Nian?
Here, Xu Wanqing didn't bring Shen Nian to see Xiao Bi, and Shen Nian almost guessed something: if the Tenth Princess blamed her, Xu Wanqing would definitely push her out to take the blame.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him. It was Xie Lianyu, whom Chen Nian had not seen for many days.
When Xie Lianyu saw Shen Nian, his expression was very complicated, but the bottom of his eyes was still filled with unmelted affection.
“Nian Nian…”
Xie Lianyu walked towards Shen Nian.
The moment Xie Lianyu knew that Shen Nian was born out of wedlock, he was greatly shocked. He was in a daze for several days afterwards and could not understand how his daughter Nian Nian could be born out of wedlock and even wanted to harm Shen Ning and Shen Chengxi.
He couldn't accept Shen Nian's identity, and couldn't understand why the simple and weak Nian Nian could be such a person...
This kind of concubine with evil intentions should not be the one he likes. It would be better for him to take this opportunity to break up with Shen Nian.
However, as the days passed, Xie Lianyu could not forget Chen Nian. It was not until the news that Chen Nian was chosen to be the prince's concubine did he realize his true feelings: Even though Chen Nian had a poor background and evil intentions, he... still couldn't damn well forget her!
"Nian Nian."
Xie Lianyu said in a difficult tone: "I will take you far away. Let's leave the capital, leave these people, and find a beautiful place with clear water and mountains to live our own lives."
He said, "The prince is not a good match. You will regret marrying him... Nian Nian, I will take you away. I will treat you well in the future."
The affection they had for each other since childhood had long since made Shen Nian his future wife, and Xie Lianyu simply couldn’t extricate himself.
The prince is a dandy and absurd, and he also has a daughter from the Xu family as his principal wife. There will be no good results if Shen Nian marries the prince.
Xie Lianyu thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind to give up everything and leave with Chen Nian.
However, he was almost moved by himself, but across from him, Shen Nian’s expression was very cold: “Leave here?”
She twitched her lips and said, "Xie Lianyu, without the Xie family, what do you have left? What can you rely on to take me far away?"
Shen Nian had already abandoned Xie Lianyu and no longer pretended in front of him, so his words were very sharp.
"If I agree to go far away with you, I don't guarantee I'll be able to fly high. Without the Xie family, the biggest possibility is that I'll spend the rest of my life struggling in the mire, surviving like a mayfly... Tell me, why should I go with you?"
Xie Lianyu's eyes turned red: "Would you rather be Xiao Nanyu's concubine?"
Chen Nian's expression was indifferent. "What's wrong with being the Crown Prince's concubine? When he inherits the throne, I will be the high and mighty Imperial Concubine... If that's the case, why should I run away with you like a stray dog, letting those who abandoned me laugh at me?"
Xie Lianyu shook his head: "But, do you like the prince? Do you love him?"
"What is love?"
Chen Nian looked at Xie Lianyu and curled the corners of his mouth coldly: "My father also said that he loved my mother... and loved Xie Yunqing, but he still had a concubine outside and gave birth to us siblings.
Xie Yunqing said she loved me at first, but after she found her biological daughter, I became a piece of rags at her feet, kicked away by her. Tell me, what is love, and what is its meaning?
She sneered, "Rather than leaving your future and destiny to others and relying on their feelings to make a living, it's better to hold it in your own hands. Cousin, thank you for your kindness. There is no connection between you and me anymore. Don't come looking for me in the future."
After saying that, Shen Nian turned around with an expressionless face.
Xie Lianyu looked at her back and closed his eyes in pain...
Returning to the Queen Mother's courtyard, Shen Nian saw Shen Ning sitting and talking with the Queen Mother. Shen Ning whispered something, and the Queen Mother's face was icy and cold.
Seeing her, a cold light of disgust suddenly flashed in the queen mother's eyes, and Shen Nian's legs softened and she almost couldn't stand steadily.
A thought suddenly occurred to her: Perhaps nothing happened in the Tangchi Palace before, but it was resolved by Shen Ning.
Moreover, Shen Ning probably already knew what happened!
This conjecture was soon confirmed: after Xu Wanqing came back from Xiao Bi, she came to Chen Nian with a sullen face, and the first sentence she said was: Xiao Bi is a waste!
Then Shen Nian realized that Xiao Bi had actually gone to find Prince Ding Xiao Nanchen and told him everything they had done!
Shen Nian felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
She didn't expect that Xiao Bi was really so cowardly and useless. She was involved in it and even sold herself out?
How will this end?
Xu Wanqing is the Crown Prince's wife and has the Xu family's support, but what about her...what should she do?
Prince Ding and Shen Ning will not let her go.
Shen Nian was completely shocked by this sudden change, and then he just shrank into the house and refused to go out.
She was worried that Prince Ding and Shen Ning would retaliate against her... After all, this was the Queen Mother's courtyard. Even though Prince Ding was strong, he still had to consider the Queen Mother. At least it was safe here.
However, the incident happened faster than Shen Nian expected.
That night, a palace maid came to Chen Nian with a smile, saying that the queen had summoned her.
The palace maid looked unfamiliar, and Shen Nian had never seen her in the Queen's Palace... She pretended to be very weak and said that she was not feeling well and could not go out for the time being, and asked the Queen to forgive her.
The palace maid insisted that she go: "The Queen will send the imperial physician to treat you."
The uneasiness in Shen Nian's heart became stronger and stronger: "I, I can't go, I feel dizzy..."
As she said this, she backed away in a shaky manner, but at this moment, the palace maid suddenly laughed.
"Miss Shen, please come with me."
Shen Nian was startled. She only saw the other party suddenly reach out his hand, and then she lost all consciousness...
