Ning Er was stunned, and after a while she managed to utter, "Then, what about the Marquis?"
What is going on between the Marquis and Qingniang? Qingniang is interested in him, so what are his feelings for her?
How could a girl who never left her boudoir and was always well-mannered lose her virginity to Prince Rui for no apparent reason and end up getting pregnant before marriage?
Ning'er had a hunch that this matter wouldn't be that simple.
"My Lord should be very compassionate to his sister Qingniang, but there is no love between them."
Yan Ling touched his chin and said that he seemed to feel that the Marquis had no feelings for anyone, whether romantic or not.
Discussing the Marquis's youthful past with the girl behind his back, Yan Ling seemed to have felt the sharp pain of the military stick swinging on his body, but since things had come to this, he could only continue talking.
Shen Chongyan respected Qingniang's father who was loyal to the country. After Qingniang got into trouble, he was very sad and regretful. He negotiated with Prince Rui, who was the crown prince at the time, several times.
But Prince Rui already had a wife at that time. No matter how dissatisfied the Shen family was, they could not fight against the royal family. They could only watch Qingniang bid farewell to her adoptive father and brother in tears, and a sedan chair was carried into Prince Rui's palace.
"Qingniang only said that she was willing to get married and would experience the ups and downs of marriage. However, she failed the old marquis and his wife's earnest teachings and love, and made the brothers and sisters of the Shen family worry about her."
Ning Er was filled with sighs and asked, "What happened next?"
Yan Ling glanced at Ning'er and smiled, "Later, Qingniang gave birth to the second son of King Rui."
Seeing Ning Er completely immersed in the thrilling story, he reminded her, "It is precisely because of this reason that although the Marquis never makes friends with the royal family, he can't help but have some special feelings for the Second Young Master Chu."
The second young master Chu!
Ning'er finally came to her senses. She had originally wanted to ask Yan Ling about Mr. Chu's background, but her focus almost went completely astray.
Is this Second Young Master Chu Chu Huan?
She still couldn't help asking, "What about Qingniang? How did Qingniang become? Did she become a concubine?"
Yan Ling was silent for a moment. After entering Prince Rui's Mansion, Qingniang cut off contact with the Marquis' Mansion for a long time, but this was not just about the affairs of the rear house.
Yan Ling glanced at the itinerary and said to Ning'er, "If the young lady wants to ask about the young man with the surname Chu who has been in contact with the Marquis, it is most likely this Second Young Master Chu."
As he said this, he climbed onto his horse, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Two years ago, I had the honor of accompanying the Marquis to visit the Prince Rui's mansion. At that time, the Prince Rui was ill, and it was Master Chu who entertained the Marquis. He was truly a handsome gentleman!"
It took Ning Er a while to react. She was so angry that she said, "Yan Ling! That's not what I meant at all!"
Yan Ling laughed and gently pulled the reins. Her beautiful eyes turned into crescents again. "Zhi Mu Shao Ai is also a great man. What is there to be embarrassed about, young lady?"
"Don't worry, young lady. Yan Ling will definitely help you take another look at Mr. Chu if there's a chance."
Ning Er was embarrassed and annoyed by what he said, and she didn't know how to explain it, so she could only say, "Don't talk nonsense!"
He angrily pulled the car curtain tightly.
But Chuncao asked her young lady in confusion: "Miss, what does that mean? Brother Yanling, what does he mean?"
Ning Er quickly covered her mouth: "It means nothing at all!"
----
At this time, under the curtain of a carriage with red wheels and green canopy, an exquisite hand-held silver mirror with a double butterfly pattern was slowly put away.
Cai Tao, who was holding the mirror, was shaking slightly. She breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shen Ruyao, "Miss, what do you think?"
Shen Ruyao said disdainfully: "As expected, he is from a humble family, yet he hangs out with these slaves."
It turned out that a quarter of an hour ago, because Shen Ruyao felt uncomfortable with the stuffiness in the car, she ordered her maid to roll up the curtains to let in some fresh air. However, Cai Tao accidentally saw Yan Ling getting off the horse and talking to Ning'er through the car window.
When Shen Ruyao heard this, she immediately wanted to look over, but Cai Tao stopped her and advised, "Miss, if you look like this, it will inevitably alarm others."
She took out the small silver mirror from her dressing table, shone it backwards through the car window, and could clearly see the situation outside Ning'er's car behind her.
But because the carriage she was riding in was two or three carriages away from Ning'er, and the mirror was small, it could only see the person's movements but not their appearance.
Shen Ruyao felt that she had caught a big mistake of Ning Er. She said excitedly: "Grandmother raised her like a rich lady, but she talked to that servant in broad daylight."
"Wait till I tell Daddy, and see how long she can be so proud!"
Cai Tao heard this and advised:
"Young lady, you should be more cautious. If we are the only ones who witnessed this and tell the Marquis, Miss Ning will probably have an excuse and say that she just said a few words to the guard openly, and then she will accuse you of making groundless accusations."
Shen Ruyao spat: "What kind of girl is she? But what you said does make some sense."
She turned to Cai Tao and asked, "Then tell me, how should we deal with that girl?"
Cai Tao pondered for a while and said, "Miss, does that guard's figure look familiar to you?"
Shen Ruyao recalled it carefully, and suddenly she realized it. She said angrily: "Is it that slave Yan Ling?"
Because of the conflict between her and Ning'er last time, she was severely punished by her father, which made her lose face in front of the servants in the Marquis' Mansion.
Apart from the main culprit, the person she hated the most was Yan Ling, who followed her and forced her to run without showing any mercy!
Shen Ruyao gnashed her teeth and said, "Well, I was wondering how that servant dared to commit such a crime. It turns out that he has long been Shen Chaoning's lackey! He is here to take revenge on his personal grudge!"
In an instant, new and old grudges flooded into her heart. She was convinced that Ning'er and Yan Ling had been involved for a long time, so they sang the same tune, making her appear unfilial and unfraternal in front of her father.
She tightly grasped Cai Tao's arm and said angrily, "What a pair of bastards!"
Cai Tao didn't expect that her words would make the young lady so excited. She hurriedly said, "Young lady, be careful with your words! If the lady knows you talk like this, she will scold you again."
Moreover, it is not appropriate to hastily judge a girl's reputation based on this.
Shen Ruyao said angrily, "Why? It's obviously her fault. How can mother blame me? That girl did it. Can't I say anything? Even if she tells father about it, I'm still right!"
As she was talking, she suddenly remembered something and her anger turned into joy: "Caitao, you are right. If I tell Daddy now, he will at most scold her and tell her to be careful with her words and actions in the future. Wouldn't that be giving her a free ride?"
Shen Ruyao ordered Cai Tao to lean over and whispered a few words in her ear.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement and she chuckled twice: "Let her be happy for a while."
"They have a good relationship, right? How can I not help them? After all, a poor young lady whose mother has died and whose father is not around is paired with a military guard who was born into a family of slaves. That's truly a perfect match!"
