Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 4 The situation is stronger than people

In the shadows in the corner, there was a person standing silently, looking towards this side with those indifferent eyes.

"I... I picked it up by accident." Su Jingning grinned with difficulty, looking at the man in black who met again not long after they separated.

The man in black didn't reply after hearing this, but just stood there carelessly, as if lost in thought.

Not far away was the sound of guards patrolling, and Su Jingning could even hear faint footsteps.

But she couldn't bear the thought of asking for help.

She knew that before she could yell out, the man in black would definitely finish her off first.

"Miss of the Su family...you are...Mu Changyun's granddaughter."

After a while, the man in black spoke, but what he said was somewhat unexpected.

Su Jingning was startled, feeling a little surprised.

Mu Changyun was indeed her grandfather.

But how did this person know?There are several girls around her age in the house, how can he be so sure?

but,

There's nothing to hide.

"It's the little girl's grandfather."

She directly admitted it openly.

The man in black nodded casually, and fell into his own thoughts again.

Su Jingning felt a little depressed.

Is this person here to collect the account book or is he here to run away?
But the situation is stronger than others, and there is no room for her to comment on what others think.

She simply waited patiently.

This person can guess her identity, and obviously knows the intricate relationship between the various families, so his identity must not be simple.

After a while, the man in black finally set his sights on the little girl opposite.

"Give me something."

Su Jingning shook her head, forced herself to be calm and said, "You promise not to hurt me, and I will give you the things."

The man in black glanced at her and said calmly, "You have no right to bargain with me."

Su Jingning choked for a moment.

She thought about it in her mind, but said quickly: "Why should a chivalrous man be so aggressive? I haven't seen the contents of this account book, and she's just a little girl. It really doesn't bother you. Why do you want to silence me?"

Speaking of which, Su Jingning glanced at the man in black, saw that he was unmoved, and hurriedly said: "Besides, if something happens to me, everyone will definitely think that it has something to do with you, and then they will chase after you Wouldn't it cause a lot of trouble if you didn't let go?"

"What's more, if you insist on killing me, I might accidentally knock over the candle or something out of fear. When the time comes, the account book will be burned, and it will be even more unsightly if it ruins your big business."

She took a breath and continued: "But if you let me go, not only will I not have these troubles, and I will get the account book smoothly, and I can also promise that I will never disclose what happened tonight to others.

After all, I am a girl, and my boudoir reputation is very important to me, are you right? "

The man in black seemed to sneer when he heard the words: "You are eloquent."

Su Jingning's complexion remained unchanged: "The chivalry is an honor."

The man in black gave her a sideways look, but said nothing after all, "Okay."

Su Jingning breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pushed the account book to the edge of the table, while she retreated far away into the corner.

Seeing this, the man in black stepped forward, picked up the booklet, flipped through it a few times, and then closed it.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then turned his head and said to Su Jingning: "You have no chance to overturn the candle, and, next time, remember to check if there is any tampering before taking other people's things."

After speaking, he turned over the window and went out quietly.

Su Jingning choked on this strong self-confidence, and suddenly realized in her heart.

She had heard that some incenses had a very mild smell but lasted for a long time, which were especially suitable for tracking.

It is estimated that a similar method was used in that account book, otherwise the man in black would not have found this place directly with so many people on board.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless, her knowledge was still too little, and she almost fell into a big somersault.

Su Jingning turned on the light and went outside to look at her two maids, seeing that there was nothing wrong with them other than sleeping deeply, so she went back to the room and turned off the light to rest.

I just lay on the bed tossing and turning but couldn't fall asleep.

She sighed faintly, and simply sat up and leaned against the head of the bed to think about her thoughts.

Today, Mrs. Meng's loving mother's heart in protecting Meng He really touched her.

But her mother can no longer protect her daughter like Mrs. Meng.

Thinking of this, Su Jingning felt a dull pain in her heart.

Back then, her father accidentally rescued Princess Cheng An who fell into the water, causing Cheng An to secretly agree.His mother, Concubine Bo, forced his father to divorce his wife and marry another on the pretext that the princess's body should not be desecrated.

His father refused, but when the court put filial piety first, under the pressure of his grandfather and grandmother, he was forced to compromise. Although he did not divorce his mother, he also married Princess Cheng'an.

Poor mother, who was pregnant at the time, gave birth prematurely due to sadness and depression. Although she struggled to give birth to her, she was still injured and bedridden all year round. She let go when she was seven years old.

Since then, she has never felt the love of her mother again.

Not only that.

Her grandfather was also violently suppressed by Concubine Bo's family. He was a first-rank cabinet scholar, and the emperor's own grand master had no choice but to resign from his official position.

Coupled with the loss of his beloved daughter, his body couldn't bear it any longer, and he went with it after a year of strong support.So far, the grandfather's family has declined.

Su Jingning tightly twisted the quilt on her body, the darkness couldn't hide the deep hatred in her eyes.

After a long time, she closed her eyes and let out a long breath.

In the previous life, the uncle was framed to frame the enemy and treason, which caused the Mu family and Manchus to be punished and beheaded. It was also the work of Cheng An and Bo Guifei.

But her grandfather, grandmother, and the Su family's beasts, because they were afraid of being involved, followed the advice of Cheng'an's mother and daughter, directly put her and her father under house arrest, and finally sent her to a brothel.

In order to be innocent, she could only commit suicide by taking poison in despair...

Fortunately, God has mercy on her, and she has come back to life again.

Su Jingning's mouth slowly curved into a deep smile.

In this life, she will do her best to protect the people she cares about, so that they can live a safe and happy life, and never end up in a tragic death again!

……

In the early morning of the second day, the Meng family's boat set off. Mrs. Meng thought she was really frightened, so she gave special orders to hurry, and the five-day trip arrived in just over three days.

It was noon at this time, and the pier in Kyoto was bustling with people everywhere, full of noisy sounds.

When Su Jingning got off the boat with the Meng family's mother and son, she saw her eldest cousin Su Jingyu and a nanny standing not far away.

They obviously noticed this side, and walked over immediately.

When they approached and met Li, Su Jingyu was the first to express his thanks.

"Mrs. Lao Meng will take care of my sister."

Mrs. Meng said politely: "It's not worth anything, but thanks to Jing Ning's company, she relieved me a lot along the way."

Su Jingyu nodded, then clasped his fists at Meng He and said, "When brother Meng enters the Imperial College, I hope you will give me some advice."

Meng He hurriedly returned the gift, and also said in his mouth: "When the time comes, I will definitely ask Brother Su for advice."

After a few polite words, Su Jingyu turned to look at Su Jingning: "Third sister, let's go home now?"

Su Jingning nodded slightly, and after saying goodbye to Madam Meng, she took her maid and followed Su Jingyu to her carriage.
