Chapter 120: Mo Yu Yun Jian
"Second uncle, have the Ye family members arrived in the capital?" In Jiuning's memory, the faces of the Ye family were extremely blurry.
Either she was too young to remember anything when her mother was alive, or her kind stepmother told her many stories about the boy who cried wolf, causing her to regard the Ye family as a scourge and hurting their feelings.
"Yes, Ye Shijie is not convenient to come over, so he wanted me to ask you if you are free tonight?"
"Okay, Sister Xue, let's go together tonight!"
"Why should I go with you? Isn't this a family gathering? It's inappropriate for me to go."
"You always need a reason to leave the Jiang family. Look at your grandmother's reason. Isn't it just right?"
Jiu Ning smiled. From the way Sister Xue and Xue Zhao handled things, it could be seen that they must have been carefully taught. The person who could make a family of three handle all the affairs in an instant should not be underestimated.
Shen Yurong is still a little bit behind, and no one knows who is behind him. If he can convince his second uncle, he can also use the Ye family to protect Sister Xue.
At this time, Xiao Heng was meeting His Majesty with the letter he received from Princess Wan Ning.
"How bold! I have been so tolerant of my elder sister over the years, but in return, she has become even more aggressive."
When the border was defeated, the Dai Kingdom proposed that Dayan select a hostage to go on an envoy mission. The emperor thought about it and finally decided to send the eldest sister as an envoy and gave her the title of Wan Ning.
This decision made the emperor very sad. Everyone knew that this was a helpless choice. The emperor has been trying his best to let Wan Ning return to the country as soon as possible.
My father did indeed do it before he died, but the eldest princess had changed drastically when she returned home. She was no longer the gentle and virtuous girl she used to be, but had become extremely crazy.
Beating, scolding, and even beating palace maids to death had become commonplace, and everyone felt guilty about it, so they indulged in everything. However, what they got in return was not gratitude, but the other party felt that they owed them and took it for granted.
"You were too ruthless this time in the weapons shipment. Prime Minister Li has been severely injured by your bite. You shouldn't have kept harping on this. Do you know how many memorials have been filed against you these days? Wan Ning will not let you go."
"That's great. I want to see how she will touch me."
Xiao Heng smiled calmly. He had not yet avenged the kidnapping of Jiu Ning!
"I can't rule out killing you."
"I will be careful."
Zhao Ye was so angry at Xiao Heng's attitude that he was speechless. He could only change the subject and said, "The letter you brought today is very useful. With this, I can legitimately send troops to Dong County and reclaim the gold mine."
"Your Majesty, please make the arrangements. I will follow your orders."
"Regarding the selection of the Imperial Merchant, I have already chosen one... You should be more careful..."
Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and shrugged: "Don't worry, you won't die!"
In the main hall of the Princess's Mansion, there were all kinds of sounds of smashing, smashing and cursing.
Wan Ning was like a madman, holding a whip and smashing and knocking down all the ornaments within her sight.
"How dare they... How dare they."
"Xiao Heng, if you dare to ruin my business, I won't let you go. And that girl called Jiang Jiuning, I want her dead. Go inform Li Zhongnan, I want them all dead."
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner. Lanterns are already hung on both sides of the streets, the hawkers’ cries are endless, and people who come out to play fill the streets and alleys. It is really lively and bustling.
"Cousin, here!"
Ye Shijie waved from a distance, and Jiuning pulled Xue Fangfei and ran over.
"Hey! One for each of you."
The two rabbit lanterns of different shapes looked vivid. Jiu Ning took them and was about to say thank you when he saw his cousin looking at Xue Fangfei with an expectant expression.
What's going on? Something's wrong with my cousin! Jiuning stared at him with shining eyes.
"Thank you, cousin Ye. I really like the lantern."
Xue Fangfei thanked him politely, but Ye Shijie just smiled broadly.
"Thank you, cousin," Jiu Ning raised the lantern in his hand, looked at Xue Fangfei, and smiled maliciously.
I see everything, and you can't hide anything from me. Ye Shijie smiled awkwardly.
"Let's go! Second Uncle has booked a private room at the restaurant and is waiting for us."
Jiu Ning was nervous. She knew very well how excessive her actions were back then. The Ye family would not forgive her easily, and she was prepared to be scolded.
The door of the private room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man slammed the table and said, "Get out!"
Jiuning guessed that his uncle would be angry. Oh! Just bear with it!
"Didn't I tell you not to come in... Li'er? Is that you?"
What's going on? Jiu Ning stood at the door in a daze, not daring to move.
"Li'er~my Li'er~I am your second uncle..."
The man changed his furious attitude, his eyes filled with tears. He walked over, hugged Jiuning in his arms, and started crying.
"Wow, wow, wow~ My Li'er has suffered so much. You never sent a message home all these years. If I had known you would be in this situation, I would never have kept you in the Jiang family!"
"Uncle, don't you blame me?" Jiu Ning felt uncomfortable, and she was even more sad when her uncle cried.
"We're all family, there's no such thing as overnight hatred. Besides, you're still so young, who would hold a grudge against a child?"
"Wuwuwu~~~~Uncle, I'm so afraid that you won't pay attention to me anymore. Wuwuwu~~~I don't even dare to come see you. I want to write a letter, but I don't dare, uncle!"
The two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, which made the people standing next to them burst into tears.
"Okay, Uncle, it's rare for us to get together, so let's sit down and tell the truth!"
"Yeah, yeah, look at me. It's all your fault, you little brat, for not reminding me earlier! You made my Li'er stand there for so long."
After saying that, he hit him viciously. Ye Shijie felt a little aggrieved, but no one comforted him.
"Li'er, I've wronged you over the years. What are your plans for the future? Your grandmother misses you very much. Do you want to go back to the Ye family with your second uncle?"
Jiuning thought about the current situation. She wanted to stir up trouble, but she could do it anytime. Big things had nothing to do with her, but...
"Uncle, it might be a while until evening. My restaurant is about to open, so I might not be able to leave."
"Oh? Is my Li'er so amazing?"
Jiu Ning introduced his restaurant and dishes one by one, and then said that Xue Fangfei was going back to Luyang in the name of Jiang Li and asked his second uncle for help.
After the second uncle agreed, he decided to go to Jiang's house to negotiate peace the next day, and Xue Fangfei left.
Afterwards, she chatted with her second uncle for a while, and then they separated. Ye Shijie offered to see her off, but she refused.
It was a rare opportunity for her to come to this bustling market, and she didn't want them to spoil her fun.
Jiuning held a lantern in one hand and a sugar man in the other. Looking at others gathering in groups of three or four and guessing riddles, she suddenly felt a little bored.
Let's go out with Xiao Heng tomorrow! I saw a theater not far away. Hmm! This is it!
As soon as Jiu Ning entered the theater, he heard cheers from the crowd.
"Great!" Dong Qiang Dong Qiang, Dong Qiang Dong Qiang, they took turns singing, reciting, composing and dancing, it was really lively.
