Chapter 188 The meaning of giving a jade pendant
Wei Feng looked suspicious, "No way, how could the people from Dingyuan Palace rob?"
Ning Chuyi was also puzzled. He thought it was the second prince who sent someone to kill him again.
"What happened? How could the people from Dingyuan Palace rob?"
Wei Feng's face was full of curiosity, "Miss Ling, you are so poor that you have to earn copper coins by setting up a stall and telling fortunes. Is King Dingyuan crazy? Why does he let people rob you?"
“It's not the King of Dingyuan, but the eldest daughter of the Prince of Dingyuan, the head of Wen'an County.”
"County Lord Wen'an? What do you have on your body that is worthy of being robbed by her?" Wei Feng couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart. This girl Ling was so poor that she was almost begging for food. How could County Lord Wen'an let others rob her?
Lingchu saw Ning Chuyi and Wei Feng looking at her curiously, but she didn't hide anything, "I just bet with Wen'an County Lord in Cuiyu Pavilion and won a pair of bracelets from her. She asked the guards to come over and wanted to Take that bracelet and my jade away."
“It is said that there are no good things in Prince Dingyuan's palace, so what kind of bracelet is worthy of Wen'an County Lord sending people to **** it back regardless of his face?”
“I heard it was a congratulatory gift from the imperial concubine.”
It turned out to be a bracelet given by the imperial concubine. No wonder the Lord of Nawen'an County wanted to take it back.
Ning Chuyi glanced at the masked man who was standing aside tremblingly, then turned back and asked Ling Chu, "Do you need me to help you deal with it?"
Ling Chu was not polite to him, "Excuse me, please send someone to throw them back to Dingyuan Prince's Mansion."
Han Cun's face turned pale. Although he was not killed, King Dingyuan will definitely take heavy responsibility when he returns.
If it were only Miss Ling, he might even give it a try, but with Mr. Ning here, he has no chance of winning.
Ning Chuyi waved to Wei Feng, signaling him to send the masked man and the body to Dingyuan Prince's Mansion.
Ling Chu glanced at the masked man, and to prevent him from escaping, he waved his hand and rushed over with the small hammer, knocking him unconscious.
Wei Feng twitched his lips, walked over, put the man and the body on the horse, and sent them to Dingyuan Prince's Mansion.
Although Ling Chu did not kill the man, she asked Wei Feng to send him and the body back to the Dingyuan Palace, and the matter would definitely spread.
Han Yao bet on the bracelet given by the imperial concubine, and after she lost, she let her guards rob it. When word spread about it, she couldn't settle down.
“Master Ning, if you kill the guards of Dingyuan Palace, will it get you into trouble?”
“Don't worry, the people from Prince Dingyuan's palace robbed him in broad daylight and wanted to kill him. Prince Dingyuan didn't dare to have any objections if I killed him.”
"That's good."
Ning Chuyi didn't take this matter to heart at all. He glanced at the sky and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Ling Chu didn't dare to let the commander see her off. He shook his head and said, "If you have something to do, please leave first. Just leave me a guard."
“I went out today without any escort.”
Lingchu was dumbfounded, Xia Zhi had been knocked unconscious, and neither she nor Liu Xiangju knew how to drive a carriage.
"Then... could you please help me hire a driver from the carriage house?"
Ning Chuyi lowered his eyes and glanced at her, without saying anything, he walked directly towards the carriage.
Ling Chu sighed and could only bite the bullet and follow.
It seems that she will have to find an **** who can drive the car in the future. Otherwise, if she encounters this situation again, she may have to walk back.
After Lingchu got on the carriage, Ning Chuyi was about to drive when his hand accidentally touched the jade pendant around his waist.
He glanced down and simply pulled it off and handed it to Ling Chu.
Lingchu looked at the jade pendant in front of him, confused. After hesitating for a while, he said uncertainly, "Is this...given to me?"
“As the saying goes, you will lose nine times out of ten. If you want to cut out jadeite by betting on stones, the chance is very small.”
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I can't accept this jade pendant without merit." Not to mention that she could scan the jadeite through the system, even without this plug-in, she couldn't accept this jade pendant. Ning Chuyi frowned, "Take it, I still have a lot of this. It's of no use to me, so I might as well give it to those who need it."
Ling Chu also frowned. Could this person not know the meaning of a man giving a jade pendant to a girl?
He raised his eyes and glanced, only to see a magnanimity in the other person's eyes.
Well, she guessed it right.
“Do you know what it means when a man gives a jade pendant to a girl's family?”
Ning Chuyi was stunned. What does it mean to give a jade pendant?
Subconsciously, I searched my mind and found that I had not paid attention to this aspect of etiquette.
But he already had a bad premonition in his heart.
Ling Chu knew from the look on his expression that he didn't know the meaning.
“Jade pendants are generally used as tokens of love between men and women.”
Ning Chuyi's hand holding the jade pendant tightened suddenly, and she pursed her lips, "Sorry, I was abrupt."
He just thought that she would bet on stones, and it must be urgent, so he gave her the jade pendant.
Those jade pendants are just insignificant decorations in his eyes. The man had given him dozens of jade pendants like this over the past few years, and they were all piled up in his warehouse.
Instead of leaving them to gather dust, it would be better to give them to her and be of some use.
He didn't even know that men couldn't give jade pendants to girls' homes at will.
Ling Chu shook his head, "It doesn't matter, I know you didn't mean it."
Ning Chuyi glanced at her, said nothing, put the jade pendant back into her sleeve pocket, pulled up the reins and started driving.
After sending Ling Chu to the door of Ling Mansion, Ning Chuyi turned around and rode away.
Lingchu didn't even have time to thank him.
He and Liu Xiangju sent Xia Zhi back to the courtyard, and Ling Chu went to the main hall.
At this time, everyone in the Ling Mansion was preparing for dinner.
Since waking up from a coma, this is the first time Ling Chu meets everyone.
After the maid served tea, Ling Chu took a sip and said directly to Ms. Dong, "Mother, I want to break off the engagement..."
Mr. Dong put the tea cup on the table with a bang, and shouted angrily with a stern face, "Nonsense, marriage is a trivial matter? I don't want to hear you mention this matter again in the future."
Mrs. Tai also frowned and said, "Sister Chu, your mother is right. Marriage is an important matter ordered by the parents and the matchmaker. You can't just back out if you want."
“Sister Chu, don't be impulsive. Now that my father has lost his official status, if he withdraws from the marriage in Zhao Guogong's Mansion, he will never find such a good family again. You can only marry into an ordinary family like ours.”
Ling Chu glanced at everyone's faces one by one, "I'm not fooling around. This matter was a decision made after careful consideration. As I said last time, the master gave me a destiny, and my destiny is not suitable. Get married, otherwise your life will be in danger.
Since returning to Beijing, my health has been good. But last time when the nun from Zhao Guogong's mansion came to mention the marriage, I fell into a coma and almost died.
I don't plan to get married in the future, so you don't have to worry about me not finding a good family in the future. "
When she mentioned the last time she was in a coma, everyone looked unhappy.
Mrs. Tai wanted to say that the order was incorrect, but she could not find a reason to explain why she was in coma last time.
Ms. Dong said with a cold face, "You don't have to worry about this. I will go to the Taoist priest of Chongxu Guan to help you solve the fate issue another day. In short, you are not allowed to mention the issue of breaking off the engagement in the future."
Countdown to August is 1 day, crazy asking for votes and winning...
