Chapter 119: Mo Yu Yun Jian
While Xiao Heng was taking a bath, Jiu Ning put all the letters in his arms on the table.
He opened the letters one by one and found that one of them was from Dong County, which actually described the output of the gold mine.
How courageous she is to open a gold mine privately. Princess Wan Ning is really ambitious!
She was not unfamiliar with Dong County, having heard about it twice today. Jiu Ning put this letter on the top and then read her other letters.
Most of them were greeting letters from King Cheng of the Border, and they did not contain any substantial content. Jiu Ning was sorting the letters when Xiao Heng walked in, covered in dampness.
"I called Master Jiuyue over and asked her to check you out later."
Jiuning did not object, but handed over the letter from Jinkuang.
In fact, Xiao Heng also found out about Dong County in the past few days, which is why Li Zhongnan was anxious.
Li Zhongnan didn't want Xiao Heng to continue investigating, so he went to the princess's mansion today to ask the princess to exchange Jiu Ning for Xiao Heng's cessation.
But before the two of them mentioned Xiao Heng, Jiu Ning had already gone to the study and successfully interrupted their conversation with a fire.
"Next, I might have to go to the Ye family in Luyang. When I was kidnapped that day, I seemed to hear that Tong Zhiyang had already taken action against the Ye family. I'm a little worried."
Xiao Heng frowned: "Your Majesty has arranged everything you are worried about. Do you remember the imperial merchant? You raised this.
As for the gold mine, I originally planned to investigate it after I found you. Before, we only had clues but didn't know the details.
Now that you have this letter, Your Majesty has a legitimate reason to send people over and capture them all. You don't need to worry."
Jiu Ning listened to the other party's explanation and was a little curious about how His Majesty would solve the Ye family's problem.
But Xiao Heng didn't say anything, and she didn't ask. She just waited for the news.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Shouldn't you go and rest now?"
Jiu Ning asked with great concern, and Xiao Heng's eyes suddenly lit up. With Xiao Heng's coaxing and deception, Jiu Ning accompanied Meimei to sleep.
Over the past few days, my tense nerves were finally relaxed, and I slept until the next morning.
Jiuning stretched and just as she was about to get up, she felt an arm around her waist, tightly hugging her. When she moved, the other person frowned slightly and stopped moving.
Then, he slowly and carefully described the other person's face with his eyes. As he looked, he found that the corners of the other person's mouth gradually curled up.
"It's so good to have you around." Xiao Heng closed his eyes, but the smile on his lips deepened.
Jiuning was also happy to hear that, and gave the other person a good morning kiss on the lips, and before the other person could kiss back, he broke free from the embrace.
Xiao Heng pouted a little aggrievedly, changed her posture, supported her chin with one hand, and stared at Jiu Ning lazily.
Jiu Ning ignored the increasingly hot gazes behind her, changed her clothes and went out directly. However, the pink color on the tips of her ears betrayed her, and she heard a chuckle from behind her.
"Master, Madam Jiang Li is here to see you."
Xiao Heng was serving food to Jiu Ning, and each piece of food she picked up with chopsticks was her favorite. When she heard Li Shan's report, Xiao Heng glared at him fiercely.
Blame him for not having good manners. Can't he talk about it later? Just as he was thinking, Jiu Ning quickly stuffed the food on the plate in front of him into his mouth, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and stood up to walk out.
Before leaving, he did not forget to remind her: "If you have something to do, just go ahead and do it."
After saying that, he left without paying any attention to Xiao Heng's attempts to keep him.
Xue Fangfei walked around the room and sighed slightly when she saw Jiu Ning walk in.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I always feel like you've encountered something. But every time I ask Duke Su, he says nothing is wrong, but he doesn't say anything specific. This makes everyone very worried. Ye Shijie came several times, but he sent him back every time."
As soon as Xue Fangfei met him, she couldn't help but complain.
Jiu Ning just smiled faintly and did not tell anyone about her health problems. It was all in the past and there was no need to tell anyone about it and make them worry.
"It's my fault. I've made you worried these days."
"I came here today to say goodbye to you. The annual exam is over now. I happened to meet your second uncle a few days ago and was about to return to Luyang.
So I thought of borrowing your identity and going back with you to find out where my father's body is. After all, it's been so long, someone has to collect his body."
As he spoke, his expression couldn't help but become sad.
"Hey! This is indeed a serious matter, but my food restaurant is about to open, so I'm afraid you won't be able to make it in time."
Jiu Ning was expressing his regret when a man's voice sounded behind him.
"Is Madam Jiang here?"
The two people in the room looked towards the person who was speaking.
"A Zhao"
"Sister"
Two voices sounded beside Jiu Ning at the same time, which surprised her. Both of them had the surname Xue, but she was stupid enough not to ask any more questions. Fortunately.
Xue Fangfei couldn't help getting excited. She ran to the other person with tears falling down her face. She wanted to hug him, but when she saw his scars, she didn't know what to do.
Xue Zhao didn't care and hugged his sister in his arms, tears streaming down his face.
He thought he would never see his elder sister again, he thought he would never be able to leave that cell again. All the suffering he had endured these days no longer seemed like suffering the moment he saw his elder sister.
Jiu Ning did not disturb the two of them, but quietly retreated, leaving enough space for the two to reminisce about the past.
When the two men found her again, her eyes were swollen and she cried even harder.
"Jiuning, thank you for saving A Zhao. You've helped me so much, I'm afraid I can't repay you enough."
As she spoke, Xue Fangfei burst into tears again.
"Sister, it's okay, we can pay it back together."
Xue Zhao comforted Jiu Ning softly, and at the same time said: "Thank you for saving me and my sister. I will sign a contract to sell myself to you, and I will let you do whatever you want for the rest of my life."
Jiu Ning was very satisfied with the other party's attitude. "Forget about the indenture contract. Just help me out if I need anything in the future."
"How can that be..."
Xue Fangfei pulled him back at the right moment: "Don't argue anymore. Jiuning won't let you sign. As long as you and I remember this favor, it's fine."
"Jiuning, I decided to go back to Luyang with A Zhao, and then go back to Dong County to take a look."
Dong County? All these things happened in Dong County!
"Sister, I haven't asked you yet, who is your father?"
"The magistrate of Dong County, Xue Huaiyuan!"
The gold mine is in Dong County, and Xue Huaiyuan happened to be murdered. Could there be any connection between the two?
I'll ask Xiao Heng about it later, I always feel that things are not simple.
"Alright, be careful when you get there. Both Luyang and Dong County are in turmoil, so don't rush to find someone."
"Jiuning, Ye Shijie wants you to meet his second uncle, you..."
