Chapter 415: Warning Xue Ning to Talk to Sisters

When Cao Cheng rushed to his wife's place, he happened to see her with Jiang Xuening.

"Oh, Miss Jiang Er is here too. What a coincidence. I have already talked to my sister. She will not trouble you again in the future." Cao Cheng said directly
"Ah, this, this, thank you very much, My Lord. Thank you very much, My Lord." Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue Ning naturally hurried to express his gratitude.

Cao Cheng waved his hand indifferently, then sat down next to his wife. Shen Zhiyi wanted to say something before, but didn't say it in the end.

She didn't want to embarrass Cao Cheng because of Ningning's matter, but Ningning was still here and she had just said it, so she naturally couldn't let it go, so she could only put on a cold face.

"Oh, okay, okay, my princess, it was my sister who did it, not me. Why are you so angry with me?"

"Besides, didn't I solve it right away when I first found out about it?" Cao Cheng advised.

"How dare you say that? Everyone knows that Ningning and I have a good relationship, but she still wants to cause trouble for Ningning? What does she mean? Is she trying to intimidate me?" Shen Zhiyi said

"Oh, Madam, what are you talking about? Even if you give her some courage, she wouldn't dare to do it. This is actually all a misunderstanding." Cao Cheng said
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could make her take action?" Shen Zhiyi asked

"Madam, what else could it be? Of course it's because of our second brother's marriage. You know what our mother is thinking. She is determined to bring Shu'er and our second brother together." Cao Cheng said helplessly.
"Of course I know this, but what does this have to do with Ningning? Who in the whole capital doesn't know about her and Yan Lin's affair?"

"Could it be that Xue Shu still suspects that Ning Ning has some kind of relationship with my second brother?" Shen Zhiyi asked
After hearing this, Cao Cheng could only nod helplessly, which was considered as his tacit agreement.

"What? She really has such doubts? Is she crazy?" Shen Zhiyi asked in surprise

"Madam, please don't be anxious. Let me tell you slowly. This is what happened. Before, Miss Xue Ning's handkerchief was found by Shu'er. It was exactly the same as the one in my second brother's hand."

"That's why she had doubts, and that's why the previous incident happened." Cao Cheng said directly
"What? How is this possible? Ningning, you are not really with my second brother?" Shen Zhiyi said

"Your Highness, this is simply not true. How could I have that kind of relationship with King Linzi? This handkerchief was prepared by our family." Jiang Xuening hurriedly explained.

"Hmm? Miss Xue Ning, it seems that the one who is really related to Second Brother should be your sister, right? Do you know about this?" Cao Cheng suddenly asked

"My Lord, to be honest, this is the first time I've heard of this." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Hmm? Since you don't know, Miss Xue Ning, it doesn't matter. I will explain it to Shu'er and she won't bother you again."

"By the way, I heard that you don't have a very good relationship with your sister? That would be the best. From what I know about Shu'er, she will definitely take action against your sister."

"So you'd better not get involved, otherwise no one will be able to save you when the time comes." Cao Cheng said
"Oh, why are you saying all this? You scared Ningning." Shen Zhiyi suddenly said

"Madam, you and Shu'er grew up together. Don't you know what kind of personality she has? From childhood to adulthood, there is nothing she cannot accomplish."

"You know how much my stepfather and stepmother dote on her. I'm not exaggerating. If Shu'er really takes action, no one can stop her." Cao Cheng said seriously.

After hearing this, Shen Zhiyi stopped talking immediately because she knew that this was true.

Jiang Xuening, who had listened to everything, didn't want to give up in her heart. But it was useless to say these things now, after all, she couldn't go back.

"Madam, anyway, I have resolved the matter this time. I think you should give Miss Xue Ning a day off and let her go back tomorrow to make arrangements."

"It would be best if we could persuade her sister not to get involved." Cao Cheng said with a smile

"Yeah, that's right. Why didn't I think of that? It's still early now. Send Ningning back. Ningning, you can come back the day after tomorrow." Shen Zhiyi said directly

"Ah? Your Highness, isn't this a bad idea? I haven't told the gentlemen yet." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Okay Ningning, don't worry about these. I will help you deal with it. You can go back with peace of mind. Persuade your sister. I know Xue Shu's temper."

"She won't be patient for too long. If nothing unexpected happens, she will take action within three days. If you go back too late, your sister will probably suffer." Shen Zhiyi said directly

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening stopped talking, and Cao Cheng then took Jiang Xuening to the palace gate.

"Miss Xue Ning, my wife has a simple personality and won't deal with complicated things, so don't bother her all the time about some things."

"Also, regarding your sister's matter, whether or not you want to give up is up to you. But I remind you that the mind of a younger sister like me is not simple."

"And this time the Queen Mother is also interested. I don't want my wife to be reprimanded and punished by the Queen Mother, so you'd better not make too much noise."

"I am very happy that my wife has a close friend like you, but friends are friends, and friends should not cause trouble to friends, don't you think?" Cao Cheng said.
"Please rest assured, my Lord. Xue Ning knows what to do." Jiang Xue Ning nodded.

"Haha, Miss Xue Ning is a smart person, I believe she will not let me down. Let's go. If we don't leave now, it will be late." Cao Cheng smiled, and then the two of them left the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of Jiang's house, Jiang Boyou was already waiting there. When he saw Cao Cheng coming, he hurried forward and said, "Your humble servant greets the Marquis. I am really sorry to trouble you."

"It's okay, it's all done conveniently. Besides, I have to listen to my wife. Well, it's getting late today, so I'll take my leave now." Cao Cheng said
After he finished speaking, he left without paying any attention to Jiang Boyu's attempts to keep him. At this time, Jiang Xuening had already entered the mansion and was being interrogated by her mother.

"What happened? Why did you come back all of a sudden? Did something happen? Tell me, are you trying to make me die of anxiety?" Jiang's mother asked.
"Okay, talk less, what could possibly happen? Our Xue Ning has a good relationship with the princess, so what's wrong with going home to relax? Talk less, talk less, let's go, Xue Ning." Jiang Boyou said

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang hesitated for a long time, but finally turned around and left without saying a word. At this time, Jiang Xuening also returned to her room alone.

After returning to the room, Jiang Xuening began to recall what Cao Cheng had said just now. Those words sounded fine, but they were just a warning to her. But after thinking about it carefully, it was not the case. After all, if he really wanted to warn her, there was no need to say more to her. What he had said before was enough.

It seemed that there must be something else. Cao Cheng must have a hidden agenda, so he used a double entendre. But what was it? What else could it be that was worth him warning me alone?
What else could it be? Wait, it can't be, it can't be? It's impossible, how could he know? Did Zhou Yinzhi leak it himself?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuening shook her head violently. Based on her understanding of Zhou Yinzhi, he would never do such a thing. He valued his life far more than she did.

If he really told others about it, he would be confirmed as a traitor and Duke Dingguo would not let him go.

Am I really overthinking it, and Cao Cheng was just simply warning me about his sister?
She thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Finally, she simply stopped thinking about it and forced herself to go to bed. After all, she had very important things to do tomorrow.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, she went straight to Jiang Xuehui's room. When Jiang Xuehui saw her coming, she couldn't help feeling a little strange.

Why would she come to her place for no reason? But since she was here, she couldn't chase her away, so she smiled and asked, "Why did you have time to come here today?"

"Of course I'm free. In fact, the reason I can come back this time is thanks to you. You must answer my next questions truthfully." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Xue Ning, what happened to you today? Why did you do this so suddenly? Just tell me what you have to say. I will tell you what I know." Jiang Xuehui said

"Okay, listen to me. Let me ask you, did you give your handkerchief to someone else?" Jiang Xuening said

"Ah? Xue Ning, what did you say? A handkerchief? Why are you asking this?" Jiang Xuehui asked
"Don't worry about what I'm going to do. Just answer me, did you give your handkerchief to someone else? You don't have to tell me. I can see that you did, right?"

"Let me ask you again, do you know the identity of that person?" Jiang Xuening asked again

After hearing this, Jiang Xuehui remained silent for a while, but Jiang Xuening looked at it and knew what was going on.
"Jiang Xuehui, do you know that you are about to face a disaster? That man has a special identity, and the Queen Mother has always wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Xue family to him."

"I don't care how you met him, or what you think of him. I just want to tell you that you have to be careful next time, because Xue Shu is about to take action."

"Before, because of your handkerchief, Xue Shu misunderstood me. Fortunately, I had the help of the princess, so I managed to escape it. But I had the help of the princess, but you didn't."

"I can't ask the princess to help you either, because when Dingyuan Hou sent me back yesterday, he specifically warned me not to bother the princess again because of this matter."

"He is the adopted son of Duke Dingguo. Since he has said so, I naturally dare not trouble Your Highness again, so everything that follows will depend on you."

"Xue Shu should talk to you first. You must give in as soon as possible. If you don't, she will definitely attack you. I don't want my father to be implicated by you."

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. You make your own decision. I'll be leaving first. By the way, be careful. After all, you are Wan Niang's only child." After Jiang Xue Ning finished speaking, she stood up and left.

Jiang Xuehui looked at the departing figure with a calm expression on her face, and it was obvious that she had already made a decision.

At this time, Jiang Xuening went back to her room. She felt very relaxed. After all, she had done everything she could. What would happen next was not something she could decide.

However, it is impossible to say that she has no worries at all. After all, she knows her father very well. If something really goes wrong, her father will never stand idly by.

But there is indeed another thing to do right now, which is to go and see Zhou Yinzhi. Although he had some vague guesses yesterday, she still has to go and take a look.

After all, the Yan family died so tragically in the previous life. She still remembers the scene vividly. She felt sorry for Yan Lin in the previous life, and she must stop all this from happening in this life.

When Zhou Yinzhi learned that Jiang Xuening had come, he was a little shocked. After all, according to common sense, Jiang Xuening should be in the palace at this time. How could she come out?
However, although he thought so in his heart, he remained calm and went straight to his own yard.

"Second Miss, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the palace now?" Zhou Yinzhi said

"Master Zhou, what's the matter? From what you said, it seems like you don't welcome me?" Jiang Xuening said

"No, no, no, Miss, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I didn't mean that. I was really curious. I was just curious. I didn't mean anything else." Zhou Yinzhi said hurriedly.

"Haha, well, I'll just assume you're curious. Given the relationship between the princess and I, do you think it's a problem if I come out for a day or two?" Jiang Xue Ning said

"Yes, yes, it is I who am stupid. I am stupid." Zhou Yin said

"Mr. Zhou, I'm not here to chat with you. Have you discovered anything recently?" Jiang Xuening said

"Second Miss, I have made some discoveries recently, but I didn't dare to tell you. I was thinking about how to tell you, but I didn't expect you to come." Zhou Yinzhi said

"Hmm? What exactly is it that Yan Lin can't know?" Jiang Xue Ning asked
"Second Miss, take a look at this, and you will understand." After Zhou Yinzhi finished speaking, he handed the piece of paper with the emblem of King Pingnan to Jiang Xuening.

"Second Miss, I just accepted the task from the Xue family to steal the letters and notes, but what I didn't expect was that the Yan family actually had a connection with the King of Pingnan." Zhou Yinzhi said

"Hmm? You said this was found in the Marquis' study?" Jiang Xuening asked
"That's right, Miss Second. This is a small fragment found in the brazier in Lord Yan's study. I haven't dared to tell the Xue family yet."

"But I'm afraid I can't hold on for too long. After all, if I don't make any progress for a long time, the master will definitely replace me with someone else. What will I do then?" Zhou Yinzhi said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry. When you go to the Yan family next time, ask Yan Lin to give you the two letters. This way, Duke Dingguo won't doubt you." Jiang Xuening said

"Okay, I understand, Miss Second, but you must find a solution as soon as possible. I don't think I can get away with it for too long. The Duke has a big appetite. I'm afraid two letters are not enough, right?" Zhou Yinzhi said.
