Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 413 Mission: Impossible

She finally understood why the Yan family had encountered trouble back then, and why they hated Zhou Yinzhi so much after they rebelled. It turned out that the root of everything lay here.

At this time, Zhou Yinzhi was actually very embarrassed. After all, how could he suddenly run into Miss Jiang Er? Although he felt helpless in his heart, he still had to smile and say hello.

"It's you. I was wondering if you looked familiar. Yan Lin told me that you have joined the Xingwu Guard. How are you doing? Are you doing well?" Jiang Xuening asked.
"Thank you for your concern, my life is pretty good." Zhou Yinzhi said hurriedly

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening nodded, and then stopped talking. After all, Yan Lin was present, so many things were not convenient to say. But now that she knew him, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

At this time, Cao Cheng also learned the news that Yan Lin had found Jiang Xuening. He was sitting behind his desk, frowning and thinking about something.

After a while, he got up and left the military camp, then went straight to Xingwuwei. The gatekeeper recognized him as his eldest son, so he didn't dare to stop him.

As soon as Cao Cheng came in, he found his confidant and asked about Zhou Yinzhi's whereabouts. When he learned that Zhou Yinzhi was not there, he knew that what was supposed to happen had happened.

However, there is no need to be afraid even if it happens. According to his estimation, Jiang Xuening will go to find Zhou Yinzhi in the next two days at most. She only has these two days.

And his guess was correct. Jiang Xuening really went to Zhou Yinzhi's house the next day and asked Zhou Yinzhi's woman to say that the horse was sick.

When Zhou Yinzhi came back and saw Jiang Xuening, he knew that what was supposed to happen had finally happened. He put on a smile and said, "Second Miss, why are you here? If you have anything, just send someone to call me."

"Why am I here? Why am I here? Don't you, Lord Zhou, know?" Jiang Xuening asked

"Um, Second Miss, I really don't know. I hope you can tell me clearly." Zhou Yinzhi said

"Haha, it seems that you have learned a lot in these days. Although I don't know the reason why you approached Yan Lin, I can guess a little."

"I came here today just to ask Lord Zhou to think carefully. The Yan and Xue families have been fighting for many years. There has been no change between the two families, but many of their pawns have died."

"Mr. Zhou, although you have received the Xue family's promise, it is just a promise. Let's not talk about whether you can survive to the end, even if you really survive to the end."

"Do you think that the Xue family still needs you after the Yan family falls? Haven't you heard that when the birds are gone, the good bows are put away, when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dogs are cooked, and there are no dead people in the living world. Can you keep a secret?" Jiang Xue Ning said

"Second Miss, I admit that what you said is right, but even if I help you, can you guarantee that the Yan family will not settle accounts with me in the future?" Zhou Yinzhi said

"Haha, I can't guarantee this. I can only guarantee that Yan Lin won't settle accounts with you. I wonder if this is enough?" Jiang Xue Ning said with a smile

After hearing this, Zhou Yinzhi stopped talking. After all, it was not his first day in the capital, and he knew how Prince Yan treated the second young lady in front of him.

"Okay, Second Miss, I can promise you that the Xue family asked me to come here to steal the handwriting and seals. I think you should know what the Xue family is going to do, right?" Zhou Yinzhi said

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening finally understood everything. It turned out that the Yan family was wiped out because of this, and even later on, Yan Lin still hated Zhou Yinzhi.

Is this the reason for all this? Now everything makes sense.

"Second Miss, I don't know what you want me to do?" Zhou Yinzhi asked
"What to do? Next time you see Yan Lin, explain everything to him. As for the rest? If there are any new tasks from the Xue family, tell us immediately." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Okay, Miss, don't worry, I know what to do." Zhou Yinzhi clasped his fists and said

Jiang Xuening nodded after hearing this, and then left. Sitting in the carriage, she recalled what Zhou Yinzhi had just said and shook her head helplessly.

He knew Zhou Yinzhi's character very well. He agreed so readily, seemingly being forced by himself, but in fact he was definitely deceiving himself.

He must have his own ideas, but it doesn't matter. As long as I can prevent him from working wholeheartedly for the Xue family, then my trip will not be in vain.

What she and Zhou Yinzhi didn't know was that their meeting today was seen by two groups of people with ulterior motives, but they were unaware of each other's existence.

"Hmm? You mean, they have already met, and Jiang Xuening has left?" Cao Cheng said
"Yes, sir. The second young lady of the Jiang family did leave in a carriage." said the spy.
After hearing this, Cao Cheng nodded, waved his hand to let the spy go out first, and then a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Xie Wei naturally also received the news.

"What did you say? Jiang Xuening actually met with Zhou Yinzhi alone?" Xie Wei asked back.
"Yes, sir, they did meet. When Prince Yan invited Miss Jiang to play yesterday, Zhou Yinzhi was also there." Shu Jian bowed and said
"Hmm? We just met yesterday, but today he went home alone. What is Ning Er planning? Go and keep an eye on Ning Er." Xie Wei said in a deep voice
"Sir, what about Zhou Yinzhi? Do you want to send more people?" Jian Shu asked

"We should also keep a close eye on Zhou Yinzhi to see what he is going to do." Xie Wei said again

After hearing this, Jian Shu clasped his fists and bowed, then left. After he left, Xie Wei's face became a little heavy, and he slowly said to himself, "Ning Er, can I really still trust you?"

Time quickly came to the next day, which was also the day when Jiang Xuening and the others returned to the palace. After all, although they were away for three days, they always had to go back on the third day.

And it was on this day that after Cao Cheng dismissed the court, he went directly to the Xingwuwei Yamen.

After arriving, he sat directly in the main seat and then asked someone to call Zhou Yinzhi over.

When Zhou Yinzhi learned that Marquis Dingyuan wanted to see him, he had a bad feeling and felt that something bad was going to happen.

In fact, he guessed it correctly, because as soon as he arrived there and paid his respects, he heard a sentence.

"I heard that the second daughter of the Jiang family went to your house yesterday? What did she say to you? Can you satisfy my curiosity?" Cao Cheng asked directly. "Um, Lord, I, Lord, no, please spare me, please spare me, I didn't want to see her. She played a trick on me, so I went back." Zhou Yinzhi begged for mercy.

"I know, of course I know. Isn't your horse sick?" Cao Cheng said with a smile

After hearing these words, Zhou Yinzhi's forehead instantly broke out in sweat. He knew that he had been targeted by this marquis from the very beginning.

"By the way, I heard that your horse died? It died in your own hands. I have to say that you are quite capable. You should be glad that you killed the horse, otherwise!" Cao Cheng said again

After hearing this, Zhou Yinzhi was naturally shocked again, and then he kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Okay, get up. Whatever you do, you are my adoptive father's man. I am overstepping my authority by taking care of you today." Cao Cheng said indifferently.

"I dare not, I dare not. Thank you very much for saving my life, young master. Thank you very much for saving my life. I will always remember your great kindness in my heart." Zhou Yinzhi hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"It's good that you know. Get up and tell me everything you said yesterday in detail. If there is any discrepancy, don't worry, I will be merciless!" Cao Cheng said
After hearing this, Zhou Yinzhi naturally stood up quickly and told the whole story in detail, but of course, he highlighted his helplessness.

However, Cao Cheng didn't care about these things. As long as there were no lies in general, he didn't care about the right or wrong.

There is no need for him to care too much about Zhou Yinzhi. For a villain like this, as long as he is always in a strong position, he will definitely be more obedient than a dog.

"Well, that's enough. As for you, tell Yan Lin as usual and do what Jiang Xuening tells you to do. But there is one thing. You have to get what my adoptive father wants as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I can make you a promise here. After I get the things, I will persuade my foster father and will not rush to take action against the Yan family." Cao Cheng said directly.
After hearing this, Zhou Yinzhi naturally hurried to express his gratitude, and finally left with many thanks. After he left, Cao Cheng did not rush home, but went straight into the palace.

After all, he hadn't seen his princess for several days. How could this be possible?
When he arrived, he was told that the princess was taking Xie Wei's class. He ignored the palace servants' attempts to stop him and walked straight towards the classroom.

When Dan Tart walked outside the classroom, he stopped immediately. After all, he just came to watch his future wife attend class, not to disturb her.

At the beginning, no one in the classroom noticed his arrival until Xie Wei raised his head and glanced outside. Then they noticed him, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped. The girls were all a little surprised. Then they saw Master Xie looking outside, so they looked over as well. Then they naturally found Cao Cheng standing there.

When Shen Zhiyi saw Cao Cheng, she was happy at first, then a little shy. She stood up and saluted, "Sir, I'd like to ask for your leave."

"No need, Your Highness. Let's stop here for today's class and continue tomorrow." Xie Wei said directly
After hearing this, Shen Zhiyi first looked at Xie Wei's expression, and then led the others to salute. Xie Wei nodded, and then Shen Zhiyi walked out.

Seeing the princess walking towards him, Cao Cheng naturally walked forward with a smile. When they walked to a place, they smiled at each other. Shen Zhiyi asked directly, "Why are you here? And you came directly here?"

"Of course it's because I missed you. I haven't seen you for several days. I missed you a little, so I came here. Someone tried to stop me before, but I didn't care." Cao Cheng said with a smile

"You, I really don't know what to say to you. Wait here for me, I'll introduce someone to you, wait for me." After Shen Zhiyi finished speaking, she turned around and walked back.

At this time, Jiang Xuening was sitting there, thinking about Zhou Yinzhi's affairs, and then she found that the princess had actually come to her side.

Just as she was about to stand up and salute, she heard Shen Zhiyi say, "Okay, Ningning, no need to be so polite. Come on, let me introduce someone to you. Come with me."

When Jiang Xue Ning heard this, she immediately became a little resistant. After all, she didn't need to guess who the princess wanted to introduce to her. After all, this person was already here, right?
She has always been very wary of this unexpected Cao Cheng. After all, in her opinion, Cao Cheng was the only person who was out of her control.

She had time to change the rest of the people, but she was not sure about Cao Cheng, so she didn't want to meet this person. However, since the princess had said so, she naturally could not refuse.

So he was pulled by the princess and came before Cao Cheng.

"Then, this is the one I told you about before, my good friend Jiang Xue Ning. I always call her Ning Ning. What about you?" Shen Zhiyi was suddenly stunned.

"My Lord, you can just call me Xue Ning." Jiang Xue Ning naturally couldn't let the atmosphere become dull because of her.

"Okay, Miss Xue Ning, I've always heard my wife mention you, but I've never had the chance to meet you. Now I finally meet you, and you're indeed extraordinary." Cao Cheng said politely.

"Haha, Lord Marquis, you are too kind. This is all because of the princess's favor. I am not as good as your highness said. I am just an ordinary woman." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Haha, Miss Xue Ning, you are too modest. How can someone who is favored by my wife be ordinary? The sun is about to rise here, let's go to another place?" Cao Cheng said
"Yes, yes, he is right, Ningning, let's go somewhere else to talk." Shen Zhiyi said hurriedly

Shen Zhiyi suddenly spoke, disrupting Jiang Xuening's original plan. She had already prepared to say goodbye, but now she knew she couldn't leave, so she could only nod and agree.

Then he was pulled away by Shen Zhiyi with a smile, and Cao Cheng naturally followed behind. The three of them came to a pavilion and sat down separately.

"Miss Xue Ning, you don't have to be so nervous. I have also heard about what happened between you and Yan Lin. I am me, and my adoptive father is my adoptive father. You don't have to be like this."

"I am now the princess's consort, not the adopted son of Duke Dingguo, so you don't have to be like this. You can be as casual as you like with the princess on a daily basis." Cao Cheng said
"Yes, he is right. There is only me and my husband here. There is no one else. Ningning, you don't have to be so nervous." Shen Zhiyi also advised.

"Thank you, Your Highness and Lord Marquis. I am much better now." Jiang Xuening nodded.

"Well, that's good, that's good. Actually, the main reason I came here today is to see my wife, and also to find out how long this class will last." Cao Cheng said
"Huh? Why are you asking this suddenly? I've only been in class for a short while?" Shen Zhiyi asked
