Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 136
When Su Jingning returned to Xiaokuayuan, her face was already swollen.

Her skin was already fair and delicate, but it looked a little shocking when it was red and swollen.

"Miss, please bear with me." Nian Qing hastily went to get bruise ointment to apply on her.

"Hiss..." As soon as her fingers touched her face, she let out a gasp.

Immediately, I felt a coolness, and the hot feeling on my face disappeared a lot.

Su Jingning couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Nian Qing saw her miss was so distressed, she couldn't help complaining: "Second Madam is really, she did it indiscriminately, and made Miss suffer such a big crime for nothing."

Su Jingning was fine, she waved her hand indifferently and said, "It's just that this is already very good, if something happens to my fourth brother, what's the use of being slapped a few more times! But now, the second aunt knows Who is playing tricks, with her sharp and sharp temperament, she will definitely not let it go."

After hearing this, Nian Qing's mood became better, and she couldn't help asking curiously: "Miss, how do you think the second lady will deal with the West Mansion?"

The corners of Su Jingning's mouth curled up slightly. She didn't know how the second aunt would deal with the West Mansion, but if the other party dared to touch her lifeblood, then the second aunt would definitely not make it easy for them.

"However, thanks to Xianglan's adventurous reminder to us this time, it's hard for such a good person to have such a master. It's really bad luck." Nian Qing said again.

Su Jingning couldn't help but nodded, she didn't expect her unintentional act of kindness before to get such a reward. Sure enough, there are still people in this world who know how to repay their kindness.

Since Xianglan has helped her so much, then she must find a way to save people from suffering.

Su Jingning couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

It is not a trivial matter for the fourth young master of the mansion to accidentally fall off the rockery, and it is well known that the third lady of the mansion was slapped by the second wife because of this.

For a while, gossip was flying in the mansion, and there were different opinions.

Fortunately, the He family immediately sent Mother Jiang to Xiaokuayuan to express their condolences, and Su Cheng also sent someone to deliver good ointment to Su Jingning to make amends, so the matter ended in a misunderstanding.

After Su Jingning sent away Su Heng and Su Jingyan who had heard the news and came to visit her, it was already the second watch.

There were three familiar sounds of stones hitting the window frame by the window.

Su Jingning heard the noise, and calmly sent Feishuang who was still in the room to rest.

After a while, a figure quickly entered the room.

It was Shen Lingze.

When he entered the room, he was still smiling, but when he saw Su Jingning's red and swollen half of his face, his expression immediately changed.

"What's going on here?" He walked up to Su Jingning and said coldly.

Although Su Jingning's face has improved due to the application of the ointment, it still looks a bit miserable.

Shen Lingze stretched out his hand sullenly, as if he wanted to check it out, but Su Jingning turned his head slightly to avoid it.

"It's okay, I was slapped in the face, just apply some medicine." She was a little uncomfortable with the sudden closeness.

Shen Lingze paused for a moment, then let it go as if nothing had happened.

"What's going on here?" He looked at Su Jingning's face carefully, then relaxed his tone, and asked again.

"It's just some misunderstandings, you don't have to worry about it." After all, it's a family matter, Su Jingning didn't want to say more.

Shen Lingze was suffocated, feeling a little lost in her heart. She treated herself as an outsider, and was angry that others dared to bully her like this.

But after a long time, he still swallowed his sullen breath, and said quietly: "You know I'm worried!"

His voice was soft, and Su Jingning couldn't hear it clearly for a while, and couldn't help asking: "What did the prince say?"

"Nothing." Shen Lingze shook his head immediately.

Seeing this, Su Jingning didn't ask any more questions, turned around and asked Shen Lingze to sit down and talk about business.

"Today, the prince heard the news that the task of investigating the corruption case fell on my uncle?"

Shen Lingze had calmed down his mood at this time, he nodded lightly and said: "Lord Mu is not only the censor, but also has outstanding abilities, and is on the opposite side of the Seventh Prince, he is really the most suitable candidate. Therefore, the prince secretly urged the Lord Mu came forward to investigate this matter."

Su Jingning had long guessed that the prince must be behind this, so she was not surprised to hear that.

Mu Xiuzhu's trip was a foregone conclusion, and this was not what she wanted to ask.

Su Jingning spoke a little in her mind, and said: "Originally the Mu family was at odds with the Seventh Prince, and it must be dangerous for my uncle to go, so I am a little worried about his safety.

Moreover, this situation is extremely important to the crown prince, and he probably does not want to see any changes, so I guess the crown prince must have made preparations in the Hexi mansion, so can His Royal Highness please take care of uncle for a while? "

Shen Lingze nodded without hesitation when he heard the words.

During the recent period, Shen Lingze has been going to Taihe Province to make many arrangements in order to bring down Wang Chun, the chief envoy of Taihe Province.

In fact, Mu Xiuzhu was on the same front as them, if something happened to Mu Xiuzhu halfway, it would be very disadvantageous to them.

Even for himself, the prince will definitely help Mu Xiuzhu secretly.

However, looking at Su Jingning's voice, he unconsciously softened, "If you are really worried, I will send Xiaochi to protect Master Mu."

Su Jingning was taken aback, a little hesitant.

Originally, she just wanted to ask the prince to take care of her uncle more, but if Shen Lingze was willing to send Xiaochi there, of course she would be more willing.

Xiaochi is a capable general of Shen Lingze's subordinates. He is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has outstanding abilities. With him around, my uncle will be safer.

"Will sending Xiaochi out will delay the matter of the son?" she asked.

Shen Lingze chuckled lightly, and said casually: "Don't worry, Ah Ning, the matter over there is very important, and nothing can be lost. Originally, I also wanted to send a confidant to watch over it, and it's just right for Xiaochi to go."

Xiaochi, who was busy working in the other corner of the capital, didn't even know how long it would take, so his master assigned him another job, and in a few days, he would start running again.

Su Jingning felt relieved, and couldn't help grinning a big smile from the corner of her mouth.

But because he accidentally involved the swelling next to him, he couldn't help but let out a soft "hiss", and hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth.

Seeing this, Shen Lingze narrowed his eyes, and there was a gloomy look in his pupils.

Su Jingning didn't notice the change in the mood of the person opposite, she thought of another matter and asked again: "Is there any medicine that can make people temporarily extremely weak and look like they are seriously ill?"

Shen Lingze woke up, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Yes, there are, which one do you want?"

There was a hint of temptation in his tone, "I've used medicine that looks like a serious illness but doesn't really hurt the root cause, and medicine that looks like a serious illness and never gets better."

He paused and continued: "Don't worry, if the second medicine can't be found out by others, they will only think it's a natural illness."
