The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

Ning Ziqing and the other two understood and followed Bai Yifeng to his garden.

The three of them entered the main room, closed the door and asked Yuan Li and Xuzheng to guard the door.

Bai Yifeng took out two confessions and handed them to Ning Ziqing: "Qing'er, I have investigated all the things you asked me to investigate. The staff member named Lu Heng was killed and his family was destroyed. It is indeed related to the second prince."

Ning Ziqing didn't react much. Everything was just as she guessed. The Lu family's extermination was indeed instigated by Huo Yunhong.

Huo Yunjue was very surprised. He picked up the two confessions and read them carefully.

Bai Yifeng continued: "These two confessions, one was made by the former magistrate of Dan County, and the other was made by a subordinate who had been loyal to Yuan Que when he surrendered to me."

"According to him, the second prince met Lu Heng by chance in Kyoto when he went to Beijing to file a petition. At that time, he took the petition paper and went around to appeal to no avail. He was chased by the prince's people on the street and accidentally collided with the second prince's carriage. .The second prince picked up the paper he dropped and looked at it. He was deeply impressed by Lu Heng's talent and intended to keep it for his own use."

"However, Lu Heng directly rejected the second prince's kindness. So, the second prince colluded with Yuan Que and sent his henchmen to kill everyone in the Lu family."

"At the same time, they also bribed the magistrate of Dan County to forge evidence and frame the blame on the prince. Therefore, Lu Hengcai chose to be loyal to the second prince afterwards, advised him to deal with the prince, and even intended to seize the position of the East Palace."

After hearing this, Huo Yunjue cursed angrily: "Huo Yunhong was so cruel and ruthless, killing so many innocent people for his own selfish desires. Does he still think he has violated the law?"

Ning Ziqing sneered: "In order to get the throne, he will not care about anything. In his previous life, he even dared to poison His Majesty. In his eyes, everyone is just his pawns and stepping stones!"

Huo Yunjue was so angry that he raised the confession in his hand and asked Ning Ziqing: "Do you want to take this opportunity to make Lu Heng and Huo Yunhong fall out with each other?"

Ning Ziqing was silent, put away the confession and shook his head: "Let's put this matter aside for the time being. I will also force Yuan Que to hand over the few confidential letters in his hand. By then, I might be able to get the second prince and his gang together. Eradicate it completely!”

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Huo Yunjue had no choice but to agree: "Then you and Master Bai should be careful, lest Huo Yunhong discover that Yuan Que has fallen into your hands."

Ning Ziqing assured him: "Ah Jue, don't worry, we locked the people in a separate courtyard in the west of the city, and they won't be easily noticed. After Sister Cao and Cousin Song get married in two days, Master and I will I will personally interrogate Yuan Que!"

Huo Yunjue then remembered that he did not see Cao Yanyan and Song Yu coming to the banquet today.

He asked doubtfully: "Didn't you invite Miss Cao and Mr. Song today?"

Ning Ziqing complained: "How can the two of them have time? After I accompany my brother to the Lin family tomorrow to hire someone, I have to rush to the Cao Mansion to help Sister Cao. I didn't expect that getting married would be so complicated. "

Huo Yunjue pursed his lips and smiled at her: "You should accumulate experience in advance so that you can use it when you get married."

Ning Ziqing heard what he meant, glanced at him shyly, then approached Bai Yifeng and asked curiously: "Master, please tell me quickly, which sect is the illegitimate son of Master Ke?"

Bai Yifeng frowned slightly and said seriously: "How can a teacher leak other people's private affairs at will?"

Ning Ziqing refused to give up: "I don't care. You didn't tell me in the previous life, and you still want to seduce me in two lives. If you don't tell me today, I will take away your romantic encounter at Fudeng Mountain..."

Bai Yifeng suddenly covered Ning Ziqing's mouth, laughed awkwardly, and looked at Huo Yunjue: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, you must not listen to Qing'er's nonsense. How can I have any romantic encounters...!"

Huo Yunjue understood clearly and covered his lips with his fist to suppress his laughter.

……

About an hour later, Su Yanqi and Jiang Quhan still hadn't seen Ning Ziqing and Huo Yunjue return.

So they decided to go to Bai Yifeng's garden to find the two of them.

Along the way, Su Yanqi was silent and thoughtful.

When he reached the Chaoshou Veranda, Jiang Quhan finally couldn't help but raise his folding fan to stop him.

"Su Yanqi, are you curious about what secret things the three of them are talking about without telling us? How about we go up to the roof and eavesdrop."

Jiang Quhan pointed upward with the folding fan in his hand.

Su Yanqi looked at him calmly: "You are thinking too much. I just want to say goodbye to the three of them and return to the Su Mansion."

Jiang Quhan frowned: "Why don't you stay for the dinner before leaving?"

Su Yanqi explained: "I have something to go back to deal with, so I'll go ahead. I will arrange a carriage to pick you up later."

Jiang Quhan shook his head and declined: "No, when I went to check Mr. Fu's pulse just now, he asked me to stay in Fu's Mansion for a few days to catch up with me. I have been living in Fu's Mansion these days."

Su Yanqi chuckled and said: "That's good, Qingqing happens to be staying in Fu's house, so you can spend more time with her."

After that, he continued walking forward.

Jiang Quhan suddenly stopped him: "Su Yanqi, actually I think it's good for Ning Manman to marry you, but..."

He paused, sighed, looked at Su Yanqi's back, and said bluntly: "It's just that Ning Manman wants the position of queen, but you can't give it to her..."

Su Yanqi's eyes flashed slightly, and she tightened her cuffs with her fingers, but smiled: "Then help her fulfill her wish."

It's night, in Huiyue Pavilion of Ninghou Mansion.

Ning Zilan hugged her knees and sat on the bed in a daze with a dull expression.

The food on the table has been heated twice but has never been touched.

Danying once again persuaded Ning Zilan to eat something. Ning Zilan shook her head blankly and said angrily: "Just let me starve to death. It's better than being angry to death!"

Mrs. Song was standing at the door and heard her words, and walked in with a gloomy face.

She picked up the bowl and chopsticks and forced them into Ning Zilan's hands.

"You torturing yourself like this will only make that little bitch Ning Ziqing even more proud!"

Ning Zilan couldn't help crying anymore: "Mother, how can we fight against her now? She is already a princess, and her status is much nobler than ours. Even His Majesty values ​​her so much."

"Everyone respects her now. Mrs. Fu not only gave her a dowry worth a whole house today, but also made us lose face in front of so many people. I really have no shame in going out to see people anymore."

Hearing Ning Zilan cry so heartbrokenly, Mrs. Song's heart was twisted like a knife.

She sat on the edge of the bed, raised her hand to caress Ning Zilan's back, and comforted her heartily: "Lan'er, don't be afraid, we will always have a way to deal with her."

Ning Zilan was disheartened: "Forget it, mother, let's admit defeat. From now on, we will be careful in front of the third sister and eldest brother. They will always take your identity as the mistress of the Hou Mansion into consideration and not let you go too far. Embarrassing.”

When Mrs. Song heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across her face, and then she said angrily: "Lan'er, how could you say such a thing? It's absolutely impossible for me to bow to those two little bastards!"

Ning Zilan argued: "Mom, it's already this time, do you still want to fight to the death? Aren't you afraid that the third sister will retaliate against us?"

Song's eyes were shocked, and she suddenly remembered the scene of Zhong Jiu's tragic death, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Ning Zilan smiled sadly and said: "Not to mention that the sister-in-law that the eldest brother is about to marry has been granted marriage by His Majesty himself. She is also close to the third sister. When she marries into the Hou Mansion, she will never obey your mother's words. !”

"These two brothers and sisters are already very popular figures in Nan Yao Kingdom. They are powerful and have strong financial resources."

"Behind the third sister, there is even support from King Qian and the powerful Ye Bei. I am afraid that His Majesty will be afraid of three points now."

"If we offend her, once King Qian knows about it, it will not only be a family matter, but a state matter involving the relationship between the two countries!"

After hearing these words, Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment, and a bone-chilling chill surged in her heart.

She thought about Ning Zilan's words carefully, and felt a helpless sense of frustration welling up in her chest.

She opened her mouth, trying to persuade Ning Zilan to cheer up, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked, and she could not say a word.

The room fell into dead silence.

After a long time, Mrs. Song came back to her senses and held Ning Zilan's hand excitedly: "Lan'er, didn't the second prince like you? As long as you can successfully marry him and become the second prince's concubine, you will be with Ning Ziqing. If we are on an equal footing, you won’t be overwhelmed by her!”

Ning Zilan sneered and told the Song family the truth: "He just regards me as Ning Ziqing's substitute and wants to take advantage of me. Why should I look down on myself and ask him for the position of princess."

Mrs. Song was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her voice suddenly became stern: "Ning Zilan, you are extremely stupid!"

Ning Zilan was frightened by her voice, raised her head and stared at her helplessly: "Mother, what do you mean?"

Song's face was solemn, and she pointed at her face and cursed: "Being favored by the second prince is your best chance! You actually want to refuse to be the second prince's concubine! Are you willing to be stepped on by Ning Ziqing for the rest of your life? !"

Ning Zilan retorted: "The second prince has lost power. Your Majesty is very cold to him. Even the favor of the Concubine Yue is not as good as before. Qian Yeguo will not help him at all. I don't want to marry someone who no longer wants to be with him." The respected prince!"

Mrs. Song hated that iron could not become steel, and her heart was in chaos. She frowned and tried to regain her composure.

After a moment, she held Ning Zilan's shoulders tightly, and a bold idea flashed in her mind.

She tried her best to persuade Ning Zilan: "Lan'er, listen to your mother, you must marry the second prince. Ning Ziqing will not let us go. If we can help the second prince win the crown prince's position, you will She is the Crown Princess!”

"When he ascends the throne, you will be the future queen of Nanyao Kingdom!"
