Chapter 122: Entertaining Prince Ning
As soon as she brought up the woman, Zhu Jinyou fell silent.
It’s not that they look down on women, it’s just the habitual thinking of people in this dynasty.
Today he also witnessed the way Miss Qin Luoqie handled things. She was calm, well-reasoned and at ease, and she was even more eloquent when arguing with people. Most men might not be able to compare with her.
Besides, the planning of the free library was her idea, and almost no one could match her vision.
If all of this was taught by her master, then their master must be a truly powerful person.
When Zhu Jinyou thought of this, he stopped pursuing the matter. No matter what, he needed to find this true hermit master.
No matter whether she is Concubine Ying or Miss Bai.
"This young master doesn't mean to look down on women. It's just that people are divided into men and women. In this dynasty, women are always less convenient than men in doing things."
Qin Bingrui smiled and said, "So, Your Highness Prince Ning, you are our strong enough backing. No matter what we do, the credit can be attributed to you."
Zhu Jinyou didn't dare to take credit for this great achievement.
"As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. You'd better keep quiet."
"Ok."
Qin Bingrui lowered his head weakly, which was not like his style.
But no matter what, they have already made their resolve clear. They are His Royal Highness Prince Ning's people, so this kid should finally be relieved, right?
"By the way, what's going on with White Tiger? You haven't answered yet?"
"Didn't I tell you before that my sister can speak animal language? She just happened to encounter a white tiger and communicated with it. The white tiger asked my sister to save her life, and she repaid the favor with gratitude."
Luo Yu continued, "I thought Bai Hu had done nothing wrong, and she's gentle and kind, so I planned to take her back to Qianzhou. If I could find my master, I could let her serve as his mount."
"..."
The bullshit is getting more and more ridiculous.
Luo Yu thought, since you won’t believe anything I say anyway, I might as well push the issue to the extreme point where you can’t find any logical rebuttal.
If you don’t believe it, then don’t believe it. What else can I do?
Then came a few cold dishes, several main dishes, and a fruit plate, all presented in an extremely exquisite manner.
The flavors of each dish are truly rare, with all kinds of flavors including sweet, sour, bitter and spicy.
You know what, it’s quite a taste.
After the meal, it was not late, so Qin Bingrui said goodbye to Luo Yu and arranged a one-stop service of foot washing and massage for Prince Ning. Only the prince thought this treatment was normal.
Return to Piaolingshe.
Luo Yu explained the matter to Xia Shi.
When Xia Shi heard this, he thought, it’s another handsome young prince. Isn’t this a big drama?
She really wanted to see his true appearance.
Qin Bingrui leaned against Xia Shi. It was almost the seventh lunar month, and the beginning of autumn was fast approaching. It seemed to be getting a little cooler at night. In ancient times, there was little environmental pollution, no particularly scorching summers or Little Ice Ages, and the temperature was relatively balanced.
"Sister, do you think Prince Ning will believe that you are not Concubine Ying? He must have inquired about your appearance and appearance."
"Of course he would think I was Concubine Ying. However, he took my signature today. If he compares it with Concubine Ying's previous handwriting, he would question his own judgment. Unless he captures me and hands me over to the Queen for a confrontation."
"Then you didn't leave any handwriting in the palace? Do you believe that he won't match your later handwriting?"
"When I left, I asked Xiaotao to hide the painting I gave her with her. I destroyed all the others and only kept the handwriting of the former noble lady Ying."
"Sister, you really have layers of defense. It's amazing. But aren't you afraid that he will really take you back?"
"There's no benefit to him if he takes me back, right? As long as I don't recognize the Queen's son as my own, then what's the point of arresting me?"
"Too."
Xia Liang was immersed in it instead.
"Sister Luo Yu, if your son really does become the crown prince and inherit the throne one day, I think we'll be close to changing the fate of this country!"
“How come you see?”
"Let the Emperor directly develop science and technology based on the technology we provide!"
"Xia Liang, your Tiger Head is so naive. He doesn't listen to the Empress who fought for the throne for him, but listens to a strange woman who claims to be his biological mother. Isn't he crazy?"
"Hahaha."
Luo Yu couldn't laugh. Even if the future emperor really recognized her as his biological mother, he might not listen to her.
Sitting on the throne of emperor, one cannot absolutely trust people and things.
If so, if he was brought up by me since childhood, would that not be certain?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately shook her head to get rid of it.
too frightening.
How could she come up with such a bold idea?
She is a weak woman now!
It is difficult for me to deal with His Royal Highness Prince Ning.
Although I can't die, I can't be free either.
Suddenly, Luo Yu said in fear: "If I can't die, then I can only complete the mission and wait until the day of natural death to return to my body?"
Qin Bingrui also reacted.
"Sister, if we accidentally die before you and we can't restart, can Xia Liang and I return to our original bodies?"
"So, you can't die before me. I can't go back, and if you go back, your bodies will just age naturally. That's absolutely not okay."
"So, we can only complete our mission here and wait until we grow old naturally?"
It sounds so sad. If I can't die, I can't leave either.
“So we just have to give it a try.”
The three of them fell into a deep sleep with heavy hearts, and soon they slept in a ball. Xia Liang had now learned how to control his claws and not move them around randomly.
The lackey opened his eyes and slowly moved to their side.
Zhu Jinyou couldn't sleep.
He kept his eyes open and went over what had happened during the day in his mind.
When he called Jiang Qiu Ning, did she really not react, or was she pretending not to hear?
In addition, she later found out that he was Prince Ning, and her surprise didn't seem to be fake.
If she had deliberately pretended not to know the name Jiang Qiu Ning, then her identity would have been somewhat doubted. After all, only a few people knew her identity as Jiang Qiu Ning, yet she had always acted calmly, as if she didn't know the name at all.
Or, she is not actually Jiang Qiu Ning.
Prince Ning thought of the signed book.
I took it out and looked at it for a few times.
I haven’t finished reading the story from the day yet, and I can’t sleep anyway, so I’ll continue reading to kill time.
……
It is said that Wenbo was invited to Panlong Village.
Nothing major happened in Panlong Village all year round. This time, a great detective was invited from Qingzhou City, and all the villagers came in droves to watch the fun.
Wen Bo went to the village in person, followed by a servant who was carrying a small handmade box.
When Wen Bo arrived at the scene, in addition to He and her two children, Zheng Dacai's parents, Old Man Zheng and Zhang were also there. The others were neighbor witnesses who discovered the fire in the Zheng family's firewood room.
Wen Bo first listened to one of the neighbors' account of what happened that day.
It was the early hours of the night (nine o'clock at night), and Zheng Dacai, having drunk some wine from somewhere, came staggering back home. He had already fallen asleep, but Zheng Dacai grabbed her and began to beat and scold her. He didn't put up much of a fight, but every time she resisted, the beatings and scolding only got worse.
Then the door of the next room opened and the voice of He's eldest son was heard again. Instead of helping his mother blame his father, he joined his father in condemning his mother.
Zheng Dacai was very satisfied with this son. He would often bring back delicious food and let his eldest son eat it first, and then give the remaining crumbs to his second son and youngest daughter. He Shi didn't even get to eat the crumbs.
After a while of quarreling, He was sent to sleep in the woodshed. The second son couldn't bear to see his mother suffer, so he asked his mother and sister to squeeze into his room. He found a way to let his eldest brother sleep on the small bed in his sister's room, and he went to sleep in the woodshed.
But for some reason, the fire in the woodshed killed Zheng Dacai and Zheng Yongan instead of the second brother Yongkang.
The villagers suspected that He, impulsively bullied by both her husband and eldest son, had simply swapped their rooms with her second son while they slept. Others said that He and her second son had committed the crime together, killing both father and son.
After gathering his thoughts, Wen Bo asked one of the neighbors, "Why did the eldest son of the Zheng family help my father insult my mother? When did it start?"
The neighbor thought for a moment before saying, "It should have started in March of this year. The Zheng family's eldest son used to help his mother, but he later resisted and was beaten by Zheng Dacai. The Zheng family's eldest son was only 15 years old, his body hadn't fully grown yet, and he was very skinny. Zheng Dacai was tall and strong, and he stepped on the eldest son's ankle.
The eldest son of the Zheng family had to lie in bed for a month before he could get out of bed. From then on, he began to complain that his mother was cowardly and incompetent, and that she would only be beaten and implicate the children. Later, whenever He was beaten, he would insult her more fiercely, scolding her for not resisting and saying that she deserved to be beaten.
But the more this happened, the more Zheng Dacai admired his eldest son and praised him for his masculinity.
