Hope for luck

Chapter 354
In the attic of Xiangman Building.

Through the gauze curtain, Ning Yan was listening to Yang Mingchun's report.

"My lord, that person should have come from the capital. After talking with the young master for about a quarter of an hour, he took him back the same way..."

Gao Pan naturally didn't expect that his every move was under Ning Yan's control, and he always thought that he was hiding it well.

"In addition, in Sanfenzhuang, the young master had someone summon about 1000 local braves, and they are practicing day and night..."

Yang Mingchun told Ning Yan all of Gao Pan's actions. It seemed that even the village training, which Gao Pan thought was very hidden, was within Ning Yan's control.

"Hmph! There are only 1000 people, Gao Pan, Gao Pan, you still don't believe in Gu?"

After hearing Yang Mingchun's reply, Ning Yan snorted softly and muttered to herself.

Yang Mingchun was far away, so he couldn't hear clearly. He could only see that Ning Yan seemed to be murmuring something. After thinking about it, he still bowed and reminded:
"My lord, I think I still have to take precautions. Although the young master is the husband of the lord, he hasn't surrendered yet. I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Yan interrupted him:
"What are you afraid of? There is an army of 30 alone, and you are afraid of 1000 people? Let alone a thousand mud legs? Just treat it as a reward for his personal guards!"

After hearing this, Yang Mingchun's heart trembled, and he quickly bowed and agreed without further words.

At this moment, someone asked for instructions outside:

"Chen Ning Chengyi, please see me!"

After Ning Yan heard this, she slightly raised Yang Yu's hand, indicating that Yang Mingchun could step back, and then let Ning Chengyi come in.

"Uncle Chengyi, what advice do you have for coming here?"

After seeing Ning Chengyi coming in, Ning Yan asked calmly. The difference in status between the two of them was immediately revealed through the gauze curtain, which made Ning Chengyi extremely dissatisfied.

"Princess, I came here for the sake of the dog. I heard that the princess fined him twenty boards?"

Hearing Ning Chengyi's cold words, Ning Yan already understood why he came, so she calmly replied:
"Is it wrong for him to break into Gu's room and punish him alone without notifying him?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Chengyi bowed and said:
"The dog's actions are indeed wrong, but the circumstances are excusable. Hearing that Liu Yuanliang sent an urgent letter, it must be a serious matter. If the dog is in a hurry, he should be forgiven for breaking in!"

These words made Ning Yan's exquisite jade face instantly take on a bit of evil spirit, and she frowned and reprimanded:
"Nonsense! Even if Gu is a man, you should know that the dignity of the monarch and his ministers is a big matter. If you break in without permission, it is an offense and disrespect to Gu. It will become a love affair in your mouth." But why? Then what are the rules for?”

After a pause, Ning Yan then said coldly:

"What's more, Gu is a woman, so this room can be regarded as Gu's boudoir. Who allows him to break in? Huh?"

Ning Yan's strength made Ning Chengyi very suspicious. I don't know when did this princess become so powerful, with such sharp teeth and sharp mouth?

Ning Chengyi thought for a while before continuing to bow and reply:

"Princess, calm down. I just want to remind the princess that state affairs are important. Don't get involved with private affairs. The princess is still our master. Everything should be based on state affairs and not indulge in love between men and women!"

Hearing this, Ning Yan's jade face changed drastically, turning red, and she immediately stood up, her chest heaving up and down in anger, raised her jade finger, and reprimanded angrily:
"You bastard! What did you hear your son say? When did Gu get obsessed with love between men and women? Ning Chengyi, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it, Gu just listen!"

These words made Ning Chengyi's body tremble. Although the elders of the Ning family belong to the elders' team, after all, they belong to the courtiers after the incident. Ning Yan is the monarch, and they have no right to interfere too much. This is the family law of the ancestors, and it is also the rule of this world. Rules of conduct.

But when she thought of Ning Yu crying miserably and the scars on her back, Ning Chengyi hardened her heart and still bowed and said:

"Princess, calm down. I don't mean to accuse the princess indiscriminately. It's just the ancestors' rules. Before the country is completely restored, our elders have the right to advise the lord of the direct branch, and also have the obligation to help the lord to go on the right path!"

After hearing this, Ning Yan's pretty face turned frosty, her phoenix eyes stared at Ning Chengyi in front of the gauze curtain and said:

"Don't use the rules of your ancestors to suppress Gu. Don't think that Gu is not clear about the good deeds your son Ning Yu has done. Just when you came, Gu will tell you directly. Gu is going to transfer him away from Gu's side..."

"Ning Yu is becoming more and more presumptuous, without any rules. Gu feels that he is no longer suitable to be by Gu's side. What dissatisfaction do you have?"

Ning Chengyi didn't expect that Ning Yan would still have such thoughts. He is the elder of the Ning family, and even if the Great Yan Kingdom is completely restored, he will not be able to become an official.

Ning Yu is his eldest son, and they are all counting on Ning Yu to be an excellent minister!
Now, because Ning Yu didn't obey the rules, Ning Yan wanted to transfer him away. Wouldn't that stop his thinking?
"Princess, why are you so violent? Ning Yu is really careless, but after all, he has been with you for more than a year. Seeing that he still has some usefulness, the princess will spare him this time..."

Faced with her own expectations, Ning Chengyi had no choice but to lower her stance and pleaded with Ning Yan.

Seeing this, Ning Yan's eyes flashed a gleam, her mind slowly calmed down, she sat down, took out Liu Yuanliang's letter from the table, and asked the maid at the side to pass it to Ning Chengyi.

"Uncle Chengyi, first read Liu Yuanliang's letter..."

Ning Chengyi was very puzzled, why did Ning Yan suddenly let him read Liu Yuanliang's letter?

After reading the letter, Ning Chengyi's face changed slightly, she was a little stunned, and she didn't speak for a long time.

"How about it? Liu Yuanliang suggested that Gu stop copying the gentry's house, and said that he should curry favor with these gentry, give them power, and discipline the people in his jurisdiction!"

Seeing that he had stopped talking, Ning Yan asked him personally.

This made Ning Chengyi's heart suddenly startled. After realizing it, she quickly bowed and responded:

"Princess, I don't dare to comment on this moment. After all, it is a national political matter. For such a big matter, the princess has to find someone to discuss it!"

After hearing this, Ning Yan questioned:

"Isn't Gu just looking for you to discuss? Didn't you just persuade Gu not to indulge in the love between men and women? Why, you have no idea now?"

These words made Ning Chengyi speechless for a moment, he hesitated for a long time, but couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Ning Yan snorted softly:

"Hmph, you don't have the lonely husband to understand...Liu Yuanliang was bewitched by those gentry, and I was afraid that his mind would change. I was afraid that there would be changes in Jizhou City, so I thought of sending him a deputy. Your son Ning Yu It's just right, if it's done well, it's not impossible to take over Liu Yuanliang's position in the future..."

Hearing that Ning Yan actually asked Ning Yu to serve as Liu Yuanliang's deputy, Ning Chengyi's heart skipped a beat. Although she was transferred away from Ning Yan's side, it would be great if she could really take over Liu Yuanliang's position in the future.
