Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 3 If I...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help coughing lightly, and said: "The chivalrous man is already safe, but should we leave now?"

The man in black heard the words and looked over, the colors in his eyes were hard to distinguish.

Su Jingning's heart skipped a beat, she forced a smile and said, "If the knight has other requests, my little girl will try her best to help."

The man in black ignored her, moved his feet, and walked straight towards her.

Su Jingning's face turned pale again.

She wanted to lift her foot to walk away, but her foot couldn't move as if it had been filled with lead.

Seeing the other party getting closer, Su Jingning's heart suddenly rose to her throat.

however,
The man in black just passed by her and walked to the wall with the dagger embedded behind it.

With a slight movement of the hand, the dagger was pulled out.

Immediately afterwards, Su Jingning heard a soft sound, and when she turned her head to look, the person had already left through the back window.

Su Jingning took a few breaths and couldn't help but patted her chest.

At this time, several members of the Meng family also returned to the house.

He was relieved to see the man in black leave.

Mrs. Meng recited "Amitabha" several times, but she still shed tears.

Su Jingning was also hugged by Nian Qing and cried.

After a while, after everyone finished crying and tidied up, they sat back in the room again.
"Good boy, if it weren't for you, Aunt really doesn't know what would have happened!"

Mrs. Meng held Su Jingning's hand, and her eyes were red again.

Su Jingning quickly comforted: "Don't say that, Jingning is also trying to save herself, and you have been dealing with those officers and soldiers for my safety. Everyone is safe and sound because of you."

Mrs. Meng just shook her head. She has lived for more than [-] years, so she is not stupid. Everyone is selfish at the moment of life and death. Everyone wants to survive, but Su Jingning was able to save her first. This is a real life-saving grace. ah!

At this time, Meng He just entered the room and heard Su Jingning's words.

"Sister Su doesn't need to shirk, how dare she shirk the kindness of saving her mother, Meng He must always take it to heart."

As he spoke, he straightened his clothes again, and suddenly raised his hand to bow to Su Jingning.

"Please accept a bow from Meng He, thank you sister for your kindness."

Su Jingning was startled and wanted to get up to avoid it, but was held down by Mrs. Meng.

"You sit, that's what he should be."

Su Jingning had no choice but to turn sideways to avoid it a little.

After the ceremony, Meng Hecai said to Mrs. Meng again: "My son has stepped up his patrol, and we have also sent more people to the weak spots on the ship. He also asked the guards to cheer up and be careful. After tonight, tomorrow morning we will Let's go."

After hearing this, Mrs. Meng recited the Buddha several times.

After going through this scare, she tossed and tossed for a long time, and it was estimated that she would have nightmares for several nights.

Su Jingning was also a little tired. Seeing that Mrs. Meng's face was also not looking well, she offered to leave.

Mrs. Meng hurriedly responded, and wanted to send Meng He back to send her back.

It was Su Jingning who declined. Mrs. Meng was obviously frightened, and she felt more at ease with her son.

She took Nianqing out the door, there were many lanterns lit outside, and everywhere was brightly lit.

Su Jingning looked around, and seeing that the guards were well-arranged, her sense of security immediately increased.

She withdrew her gaze and was about to step up when she suddenly looked towards a certain corner.

"Miss, what's the matter?" Nian Qing asked suspiciously, not knowing why she stopped.

Su Jingning didn't answer, she frowned and made a careful distinction for a while, then walked over there.

Go straight to the two logs over there and squat down.

There is an oiled paper bag sandwiched between the gaps in the wood.

Su Jingning looked at it for a while, then hesitated.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she quickly pulled out the things and stuffed them into her bosom, then rushed to her room with the stunned Nian Qing.

Once inside the house, Nianyu, another maid of Su Jingning, greeted her.

"Miss, why have you been gone for so long?"

She has been busy in the house, only vaguely heard that officers and soldiers came up to search for the thieves, but she didn't know exactly what happened.

This is why Mrs. Meng ordered her to keep her mouth shut.

"Talking speculatively with Mrs. Meng, I forgot the time for a moment."

Su Jingning answered casually.

Nian Yu didn't ask any more questions, and went out to ask someone to bring water for the young lady to wash.

Su Jingning took the opportunity to take out the things in her arms and hide them in the bedding.

When she turned her head and saw that Nian Qing was still in a daze, she told her to keep her mouth tighter, and didn't let go of her heart until the little girl nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

At this time, Nian Yu came in again to report to Mr. Meng.

Su Jingning was puzzled and had no choice but to go out with her maid.

Meng He was standing quietly under the lantern not far away with his servant, the red light reflected on his face, adding a touch of warmth for no reason.

When he saw Su Jingning come out, his brows and eyes became softer.

"Can Mrs. Meng take a break?" Su Jingning asked with a smile after saluting.

"It's already rested." Meng He nodded, looking at the pretty girl in front of him, his ears turned red quietly, "Mother is still a little worried, and asked me to come and see if this place is safe."

Su Jingning smiled lightly and said, "With Mrs. Lao Meng's concern, everything is fine here."

"That's good." Meng He nodded lightly, "I will ask the guards to patrol here more frequently."

He hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Don't be afraid, I will lead people to patrol at night."

Su Jingning agreed, and thanked again: "Thank you, Mr. Meng."

On the contrary, Meng He was a little embarrassed, waved his hands again and again, paused and said hastily: "There is nothing else, you can go back and rest."

Su Jingning nodded, saluted and turned back to the house with her maid.

On the other hand, Meng He waited until the door was closed before returning with his servant.

After Su Jingning washed, she guessed that the two maids in the outer room had fallen into a deep sleep, so she took out the oiled paper bag she had hidden before from under the quilt.

This should be where the man in black is hiding.

No one else on this ship would do that except him.

Su Jingning guessed that he should have stolen something from the government and was chased all the way here.

It may be that the pursuers were too tight. In order to avoid accidents, he hastily hid his things in advance.

She didn't expect Su Jingning to see it sharply and took it back.

She sat down and looked at the oiled paper package, which was shaped like a book. The outer layer of oiled paper was very common, and there was nothing special about it.

Su Jingning suddenly pondered.

There's a reason she took the risk to take this thing.

In the previous life, the grandfather's family was ransacked and exterminated for collaborating with the enemy and treason.

But Su Jingning knew that this was all unwarranted slander!

It's just that she is just a boudoir girl now, and her knowledge is really limited. If she has the opportunity to know some secrets of the government, she may have a chance to change the future.

Thinking of this, she immediately made up her mind, and opened the outer oiled paper with her hands.

Inside is a thin book with a blue cover and only the word "account book" written on it.

Su Jingning secretly said "Sure enough", this shape and size are most likely to be ledgers.

She glanced at the cover twice, and raised her hand to read the contents inside.

"If it were me, I wouldn't watch it."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in the quiet space.

Su Jingning's hairs suddenly stood on end, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

She paused for two breaths before slowly turning around.
