Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 48 Guess
"Miss, what's wrong?" Nian Yu couldn't help swallowing.

"Nianyu, did you wake up last night?" Su Jingning asked.

Yesterday was Nianyu's night duty, sleeping on the imperial concubine's couch under the window.

Nian Yu thought about it carefully and replied: "The maidservant hasn't woken up yet, she slept very soundly last night, and it was dawn as soon as she woke up."

After she finished speaking, she also felt a little strange, she had always been a light sleeper, how could she sleep like this?

Su Jingning's heart sank again, and she suddenly remembered the situation when she met the man in black when she came to Kyoto.

At that time, Nian Qing and Nian Yu slept so unconsciously after being drugged.

Thinking of this, she shuddered a little. Someone stunned her and entered the room!
She stood in front of the table and calmed down before ordering Nian Yu: "Don't make a fuss, quietly find Nian Qing, and let's see if there is anything missing in the room."

Nian Yu's expression froze, could it be that the lady's room was burglarized?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly responded and went out to call Nian Qing.

The three of them checked the whole house inside and out together, and everything was there except for some traces of flipping.

Even the 2 taels of silver note that Su Jingning just got was placed in the box.

This is where things get confusing.

Su Jingning waved her hand to make the two maids stop, and they were all lost in thought.

Nian Yu pondered for a while and said, "Miss, did the servants mess up the house by not noticing the stray cats or something coming in?"

"What kind of cat is capable of opening the box by itself, it must be someone who sneaks in without knowing it." Nian Qing took the words, and cursed: "How dare you rummage through Miss's things, if I catch Feichou out of her hands."

Su Jingning shook her head.

If there is really something missing or even a little more in the house, it may be that the people in the mansion have evil intentions to play tricks again.

But the person who came only looked through the things and then left. It seemed that people outside were looking for something and hadn't found it yet.

But she is just a lady in the boudoir, what else can others want to plot?

Su Jingning really couldn't figure it out.

Her father was also a powerless son-in-law, and her grandfather's family hadn't fallen for a long time, and she only heard the news of her uncle's recovery today...

Thinking of this, a bright light flashed across her mind.

Is it related to my grandfather?

Someone was looking for something left by his grandfather and found himself here.

This is the greatest possibility.

Su Jingning closed her eyes, her mind spinning quickly.

My grandfather was an official and a first-rank cabinet scholar during his lifetime. He must have been exposed to a lot of court secrets. Could it be that he has mastered some important things that attracted others' coveting.

She even thought of her grandfather's retirement.

It stands to reason that my grandfather has a high position and a lot of students, so he shouldn't be suppressed by the Bo family so easily, but the fact is that the Mu family has fallen rapidly, and the Mu family has no choice but to return to Taixing Mansion.

Su Jingning's hands and feet were cold, and her heart was heavy.

And was the final downfall of the grandparents' family in the previous life really just because of the grievances between the Bo and Mu families?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was a man-eating black hole in the dark, dark and treacherous, hiding an unspeakable conspiracy.

Seeing that her young lady's complexion was getting worse and worse, Nian Yu exchanged glances with Nian Qing who was next to her, their eyes were full of uneasiness and worry.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Su Jingning came back to her senses, and when she saw them like this, she smiled reassuringly, and replied, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about things."

The two were relieved a little.

Nian Qing asked again: "Then shall we report this matter?"

"No, it's nothing but an incident without proof." Su Jingning shook her head.

The things in the house have only changed slightly, and nothing has been lost, so there is no use in making a fuss.

She thought for a while and then said: "Let's watch it more closely on weekdays."

Although she guessed that it wasn't done by the people in the mansion, she couldn't rule it out completely, and it wouldn't matter if she was more careful.

Nian Yu and the two heard the words and quickly responded.

Su Jingning was wondering if that person would come again tonight.

There are a lot of things in my house, and there are even a lot of books. If the other party wants to find some letters and account books, they will not be able to find them all in one night.

Thinking of this, her heart tightened and became clear again.

If the conjecture is true, then the enemy is not just the seventh princes on the surface.

Those who hide in the dark are the most difficult to deal with.

If the other party really came, she could take the opportunity to learn more clues...

Her eyes lit up and she beckoned Nian Yu to come over and give orders before letting people go...

At night, Su Jingning packed up early and lay down on the bed.

Unavoidably arousing the suspicion of the other party, the doors and windows were only closed as usual, and the maids on guard at night were replaced by Dan Yun, and no additional manpower was sent.

Su Jingning lay quietly with her eyes closed, but her heart was always on guard for the other party's arrival.

……

In Prince Rui's mansion, Shen Lingze was staying in Prince Rui's study, casually looking at a landscape painting on the wall.

On the grand teacher's chair behind the book case sat Prince Rui who had just returned from inspection at the guard.

At this time, his majestic face was a bit frosty, and he raised his hand and frowned before asking: "I heard that you came up with the solution to the flood?"

Shen Lingze asked back: "Where did father hear about it?"

Prince Rui didn't answer, but just snorted and said: "Our palace has always maintained neutrality, and will never favor any prince. You must remember your identity as the eldest son, and don't act willfully."

Shen Lingze looked disapproving: "The son just likes to do things according to his preferences. If the father doesn't like it, he can let the second brother take the position of the son of the world."

"Nonsense!" Prince Rui slapped the table, pointing at Shen Lingze, so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Shen Lingze only lowered his eyes, and didn't even move his eyebrows.

After a long time, Prince Rui leaned on the back of the chair slumped and waved to Shen Lingze: "Go out."

Shen Lingze bowed silently when he heard the words, then withdrew.

Chun Shui, who was waiting outside, greeted him immediately.

When the two of them left the yard, there was no one around, Chun Shui said: "Master, I have already found out where those people are staying, and Xiao Chi is personally leading people to guard over there."

Shen Lingze nodded and asked, "Do you know why they came? Who have you been in contact with?"

Chun Shui shook his head: "They went into hibernation as soon as they arrived in the capital. They had no contact with other people before, but someone went out last night."

Shen Lingze paused: "What are you going to do?"

Chun Shui was a little ashamed: "Our man lost, and we don't know the whereabouts of that man."

As he spoke, he added: "However, they still seem to be taking action tonight."

Shen Lingze closed his eyes and thought for a while and ordered: "Prepare your clothes, I'll go and see for myself."

Chun Shui agreed, and asked again: "Do you want to tell the prince about this?"

Shen Lingze glanced at him lightly: "What do you think?"

Chun Shui immediately fell silent.

He just owes his mouth, the master's face is so stinky and he dares to talk too much.
