The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

On the way back, Ning Ziqing suddenly thought of the aide named Lu Heng beside Huo Yunhong.

She remembered that this man was a classmate of Su Yanqi. He was a talented person. If he took the imperial examination, he would have a bright future. Why did he stay with Huo Yunhong.

In the previous life, I only thought that this person was very deep and ruthless, and he helped Huo Yunhong plan many evil things.

Even I have to respect him three points.

Regarding the matter of Jing Gucheng, Ning Ziqing felt that there must be something wrong with this person. What was the reason that made him willingly stay with Huo Yunhong and serve him loyally?

Ning Ziqing bit her fingers and thought, then suddenly stepped forward, her eyes darkened.

Su Yanqi saw her expression was strange and asked her with concern what was wrong.

Ning Ziqing came to her senses and asked Su Yanqi about Lu Heng's past.

Su Yanqi sighed quietly and told Lu Heng's experience.

Lu Hengben was born in a scholarly family. He was smart and studious since he was a child, and he had an astonishing talent in reading.

At that time, Su Yanqi and Lu Heng studied together at Haochuan Academy, and agreed with each other to obtain honors together in the future, enter official careers, and serve the country.

Later, Su Yanqi was recalled by his father and asked him to abandon literature and engage in business to make a living.

The two also gradually lost contact.

Three years ago, Lu Heng's sister reached the marriageable age and was betrothed to a family with a good family background.

Lu Heng also rushed back to the Lu family from the academy to attend his sister's wedding.

However, on the wedding day, the bride was forcibly abducted and humiliated by the son of a local official on her way back from her husband's family.

Although the younger sister was rescued and returned home, she could not bear the humiliation and chose to hang herself soon after.This sudden tragedy plunged the Lu family into deep sorrow.

Lu Heng could not accept such a cruel fact, so he decided to go to the Yamen to sue the criminal.

However, we encountered every possible pushback and delay from officials.

After many interactions with officials, Lu Heng learned that the local officials were actually protected by the prince.

Officials once hinted that Lu Heng would pay for it, but Lu Heng decisively rejected it.

In anger, the official blocked Lu Heng's path and did not allow him to redress his grievances.

What is even more infuriating is that this official also received support from other colleagues, creating a situation of collusion between officials, making it impossible for Lu Heng to deliver justice.

Despite encountering many difficulties, Lu Heng did not give up and was determined to seek justice for his sister.

He resolutely decided to go to Kyoto and prepared to write a petition to file a petition.

Local officials discovered his actions, immediately sent people to chase him, and reported the matter to the prince.

After the prince learned about it, he privately sent a message to all the yamen in Kyoto not to accept Lu Heng's case, and arranged for people to monitor him and pay attention to his every move at all times.

In Kyoto, Lu Heng encountered all kinds of difficulties, and was even beaten and threatened by the prince's people.

At the same time, his family suddenly encountered a disaster and was massacred by a group of vicious bandits overnight.

When Lu Heng rushed home, he saw dozens of members of the Lu family lying in a pool of blood.

The tragic death of his parents, the darkness of the officialdom, and the prince's selfish desires, all these cruel experiences deeply affected Lu Heng, and he has never recovered since then.

When Su Yanqi met him again, he had become the second prince's adviser.

After listening to Su Yanqi's words, Ning Ziqing suddenly realized that the reason why Lu Heng helped Huo Yunhong was because he wanted to take revenge against the prince.

But why do people from Zhan Yuantang still appear next to Huo Yunhong?

What exactly did Huo Yunhong do using Zhan Yuantang?

Ning Ziqing frowned, thoughtfully.

Su Yanqi's eyes flashed with slight surprise, and he was puzzled by Ning Ziqing's reaction.

He was about to ask her about the assassination of Huo Yunhong that night.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past the mountain behind.

Flowers and leaves all over the sky slowly fall.

Ning Ziqing was slightly surprised and quickly ran back to the courtyard.

Jiang Quhan, Yaoyao and others also felt the strange movement in the back mountain, and they all stood in the courtyard and stared in the direction of the back mountain.

"The sword energy is so strong." Yaoyao sighed and wanted to rush to the back mountain to find out what was going on, but was stopped by Ning Ziqing.

"My master is imparting his secret knowledge to His Highness the Fourth Highness. No one can disturb him."

Yaoyao had a disappointed expression on her face, while Qingxu and Qianze both had expressions of pity.

Jiang Quhan asked Ning Ziqing which school of swordsmanship her master practiced that was so powerful.

Ning Ziqing laughed twice, found an excuse and went to the alchemy with Lotus in his arms.

Jiang Quhan and Su Yanqi looked at each other, and they were even more surprised to know that she was deliberately hiding it.

At lunch time, Bai Yifeng and Huo Yunchue came back from the back mountain.

Bai Yifeng kept praising Huo Yunchue in front of everyone that he was a martial arts prodigy and that given time, he would be able to learn his unique skills.

Ning Ziqing proudly praised Bai Yifeng for his vision, and Yaoyao took the opportunity to ask Bai Yifeng if she could learn his unique skills.

Bai Yifeng awkwardly rejected Yaoyao's request.

Yaoyao was frustrated, and Huo Yunchue told her that he would compete with her after he learned how to do it.

Only then did Yaoyao give up.

After lunch, Huo Yunchue went back to his room to rest with a tired look on his face.

Ning Ziqing followed him into the side room and informed Huo Yunchue about Bai Yifeng's departure.

Huo Yunchue was surprised and asked Ning Ziqing why he didn't stay with him and go back to Kyoto.

Ning Ziqing said that Bai Yifeng was used to being idle and liked to travel around, so he was unwilling to follow her back to Kyoto.

Huo Yunchue deeply regrets that he has just gotten acquainted with Bai Yifeng, and now that he has learned his true skills, he has not had time to get along well with him. He did not expect that Bai Yifeng is about to leave.

Seeing that he was a little sad, Ning Ziqing hugged him and comforted him, saying that one day Bai Yifeng would come to Kyoto to reunite with them.

Huo Yunchue could only sigh softly, hugged Ning Ziqing, and asked her to give Bai Yifeng a good farewell.

Ning Ziqing nodded in his arms and got intimate with him for a while before leaving the room.

After Huo Yunchue woke up from his nap, he went to Su Yanqi to discuss returning to Kyoto.

When he came to the alchemy, he found a portrait that looked like Ning Ziqing hanging on the wall. He hurriedly approached and took a closer look.

Su Yanqi put down the medical book in his hand, stepped forward and told Huo Yunchue that this was the portrait of Ning Ziqing.

Huo Yun couldn't help but sigh that they looked so similar.

At this time, he found the portrait of the woman next to him and asked Su Yanqi who it was.

Su Yanqi shook his head and said that he didn't know either.

Jiang Quhan walked in shaking his folding fan and said with a smile that it was a portrait of his mother.

Then he stepped forward and hooked their necks and said proudly: "Do you know why I like Ning Manman so much? Because I grew up looking at her mother's portrait. So when I first saw Ning Manman, That’s when I fell in love with her at first sight!”

The two looked at him coldly. Jiang Quhan patted their shoulders disapprovingly and raised his eyebrows:

"As long as Ning Manman doesn't marry any of you, I still have a chance to marry her. Let's see!"

"Give up!" Huo Yunchue scolded him through gritted teeth.

Jiang Quhan snorted and glared at him provocatively.He retracted his hand gracefully and caught a glimpse of several white gardenias placed in front of his mother's portrait.

Suddenly, my heart felt warm, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Huo Yunchue warned him with a stern face not to have any wishful thinking.

Jiang Quhan turned around and ignored him, and quickly left the alchemy pharmacy.

Su Yanqi looked at his back and said nothing. Seeing that Huo Yunchue was angry, she comforted him and told him not to argue with Jiang Quhan.

Huo Yunjue suppressed his anger, and then thought about leaving Yaogu tomorrow, away from the weirdo Jiang Quhan, and his mood suddenly brightened.

He hummed a pleasant tune and walked out of the alchemy with relaxed steps to tell Yinxiang and others to pack their luggage.

Su Yanqi smiled helplessly and shook his head, and continued to read the "Hundred Poisons Classic", hoping to find a way to cure "Ye Qianhan" before leaving.
