Lingchu didn't expect that Ning Chuyi would let someone protect him secretly, "Your Majesty, I have intentions, but I have the means to protect myself. You should let them go back."
The two secret guards felt that it was useless to stay, and Miss Ling did not need their protection at all.
Just when they thought Ning Chuyi would take them away, they heard him say to Ling Chu, "It doesn't matter, you haven't hired any guards yet. They are idle anyway, so why not let them stay first?" I'll be your bodyguard."
Ling Chu hesitated for a moment and then agreed, "Then I won't be polite to you."
She does want to hire some guards, but it's hard to find people who are good at martial arts and loyal.
Ning Chuyi signaled Wei Feng to send the flower-picking thief to Dali Temple, and also told him, "Miss Ling captured Xia Liu, remember to take the silver reward and send it to her."
The government offered a reward of 15,000 taels for catching the flower-picking thief.
Originally, the reward offered by the government was not that much money.
After the girls who were defiled by Xia Liu committed suicide, their families personally took the money to Dali Temple to ask for an increase in the amount of the reward in order to catch the flower picker as soon as possible.
After hearing what Ning Chuyi said, Xia Liu was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood.
When he came here this time, he failed to pick any flowers, was beaten half to death, and had his descendants disabled.
What made him even more angry was that this was equivalent to him personally holding sixteen thousand taels and throwing himself into a trap in front of Miss Ling.
Xia Liu was so angry that he couldn't help but suspect that the person who bribed him didn't have a grudge against Miss Ling, but against him!
Wei Feng glanced at him sympathetically, then raised his knife and struck him unconscious.
After carrying it, he went to Dali Temple to exchange for silver.
Ning Chuyi also left with Yin Sha.
The two guards were left looking at each other helplessly. Thinking of the hammer that had just hit the flower picker, they felt a chill in their lower bodies.
Miss Ling is a cruel person, they must be careful not to offend her in the future.
After everyone left, Ling Chu asked Mother Gong to take two guards to settle in the front yard, and ordered the others to continue patrolling at night.
After everything was arranged, she went back to rest.
The next day, in the palace.
After the **** who held the seal announced his withdrawal from the court, the officials from the lower court walked out in twos and threes.
The second prince walked a few steps outside, suddenly stopped sideways, and said to the official walking aside, "Mr. Zhao, I heard that the eldest son of your family plans to take the eldest daughter of the former Minister of Household Affairs as his concubine. Is this true? "
Zhao Guogong didn't know why the second prince suddenly mentioned this matter in front of so many people. Everyone looked at him curiously.
He could only say vaguely, "Well, Mrs. Dong did a favor to my wife a few years ago. She came to the door a few days ago and said that she couldn't bear the hardship of her eldest daughter following them, so she begged my wife to accept her for Quanzi. .
My wife is soft-hearted, and seeing her crying so sadly, I couldn't refuse. "
The second prince nodded, "I see, but...I heard that Miss Ling has been fostered in a Taoist temple since she was a child, so she has no rules and etiquette at all, and she often contradicts her parents and family members in the house.
Because she was disobedient to discipline, she even set up a female household and moved to Qintai Street with her maid and wife. "
Seeing Duke Zhao's ugly face, the second prince was satisfied and said, "I also heard from the purchasing manager in the mansion that there were rumors on the street that someone saw a man entering Miss Ling's house last night.
Moreover, according to people who saw it, the man looked very similar to Xia Liu who was on the arrest warrant posted by the government. "
As soon as the second prince said these words, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Zhao Guogong.
Because the name Xia Liu is really special, many people still remember him as the flower picker.
"Mr. Zhao Guogong, although your wife cannot say no to the Dong family, this matter...if you force the prince to accept that girl Ling, aren't you afraid of him making trouble?"
Zhao Guogong's face was gloomy, and he kept thinking. The second prince deliberately humiliated him in front of so many people. Could it be that he had done something recently to make him unhappy, so he beat him in public? Ning Chuyi was walking behind, listening to the whispers of others, and said expressionlessly, "Second prince, it seems that the steward in your house needs to be investigated carefully."
The second prince's face turned cold, "What do you mean, Master Ning?"
"As far as I know, Xia Liu was beaten half to death by the guards and maids in Miss Ling's house before she climbed up the outer wall of Miss Ling's house, and was sent to Dali Temple overnight.
At this moment, I'm afraid I'll even get the silver reward.
If the second prince doesn't believe it, he can send someone to see if Xia Liu is in the prison of Dali Temple. "
I didn't expect that the second prince would know about what happened just last night so quickly.
The screams of the flower picker last night were so loud that many people on Qintai Street must have been speculating about what happened to Miss Ling's house. Rather than letting everyone make random guesses, it would be better to directly reveal the truth of the matter.
Seeing the second prince's face turned black, Ning Chuyi kindly added, "There are many people who know about this matter. The person in charge of purchasing in your house actually dared to blatantly misrepresent the facts to you. It seems that there is nothing wrong with the usual deception." Do less.
The Second Prince should investigate this kind of slave and bully his master. "
“Thank you, Lord Ning, for reminding me.” The second prince pretended to be grateful and thanked him.
He then said with a playful expression, "I didn't expect Lord Ning to know so clearly about Miss Ling. It seems that he pays a lot of attention to her."
“Master Ning, I heard that Miss Ling is pretty, could it be that... you have taken a fancy to her?”
“Master Ning is eighty-eight years old this year. People of your age have already started a family and have several children.
At your age, if you delay it any longer, Mr. and Mrs. Ning Guo may be really worried. "
At the corner behind, the emperor was listening quietly with his hands behind his back.
As soon as the second prince finished speaking, before Ning Chuyi could speak, the emperor immediately turned his head and winked at the **** in charge who was following behind.
The steward bowed and nodded, flicked the whisk in his hand, and walked quickly out of the corner.
Seeing that the officials all looked back at me uneasily, the manager turned a blind eye to them all.
He walked to Ning Chuyi respectfully, bowed his hands in greeting, and then said, "Master Ning, the emperor has summoned me. Please come with me."
Ning Chuyi frowned invisibly. Seeing that everyone was looking this way with curious faces, she could only lift her feet and walk back.
The second prince looked at his back with a heavy gaze, clenched his fists, and then quickly unclenched them.
What he just said was intentional, just to reach the emperor's ears.
In this case, that **** will not be able to marry a helpful wife.
If he robs the concubine of the prince of Zhao Guogong, he will definitely offend Zhao Guogong's mansion.
This is also equivalent to ending the alliance between Ning Guo Gongfu and Zhao Guo Gongfu.
Imperial study room.
The emperor looked at Ning Chuyi, who was neither humble nor arrogant, standing in front of him, and felt unspeakable in his heart.
After asking a few questions about the Jinyi Guardhouse, the emperor pretended to be unintentional and said, "You like Ling Mao's eldest granddaughter, do you need me to help you get married?"
Ning Chuyi's face was expressionless, "The emperor has misunderstood. I don't have a girl I like. I said... I will never marry for the rest of my life."
