Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 18 Zhao Ying Meets
"elder sister."

A familiar call suddenly came from behind, Jing Ning turned around, and saw Zheng Xiuning who was chasing after him.

Zheng Xiuning ran fast, sweating profusely. She looked at Jing Ning anxiously, "Sister, are you okay? I saw you fell into the water that day, and I wanted to call someone to come, but when you came back, you But he was rescued."

She said, her brows and eyes were full of annoyance: "It's all my fault, I should have stopped my sister when she went to the pond."

She had a look of regret and fear, Jing Ning looked at her, but a sneer appeared in his heart.

Her younger sister has always been like this.

In the past, she always caused all kinds of troubles, and then ran to her to pretend to be pitiful. When she caused all kinds of troubles for her early days, she also looked like this.

She sneered in her heart, but with a moved look on her face, she took her hand.

"What does this matter have to do with you? It's all because of my mischievousness. I want to see some mandarin ducks. Besides, am I missing now? The doctor said that I will recover in a few days."

Why didn't it poison you to death?
Zheng Xiuning resented in his heart, but on his face he looked pleasantly surprised: "Really? Then I can rest assured! Sister, you have not been in good health for the past few days, but you have to take good care of yourself and don't catch a cold!"

"Ah."

She still had that naive and somewhat stupid look, but she could see all the resentment from the other party in her eyes from the corner of her eye.

Jing Ning didn't want to act with Zheng Xiuning, and soon returned to the yard because he was unwell.

When she turned around, Zheng Xiuning's eyes finally showed an undisguised coldness, then turned around and went to Yang's Liuyue Pavilion.

"Mother, what does father's words mean today?"

As soon as Zheng Xiuning entered the room, she immediately spoke hastily. She is not an idiot. She has lived in the Zheng residence for so many years, and naturally heard something wrong in Zheng Anyan's words.

"He's suspicious of me."

Yang took a deep breath and sat down a little tiredly.

Zheng Xiuning was a little unbelievable: "What, how could it be? Didn't father always believe in you?"

"So what?" Mrs. Yang clenched the armrest tightly, with resentment in her eyes: "No matter how careful I am, no matter how cute you are, his heart will always only be that bitch's daughter, otherwise, how could the old lady and the old lady be together?" The steward came to divide my power because he was afraid of what I would do to his daughter!"

Zheng Xiuning's face was pale, and the hands under the sleeves were suddenly clenched.

That's right, my father only has Zheng Jingning in his heart, no matter how hard he tries, he can't compare to Jingning's star.

She had known this for a long time, but Zheng Xiuning still felt a little pain in her heart after being exposed at this moment.

She tidied up her mood and said coldly: "Mother, it's time for you to make up your mind."

Yang's hand trembled slightly.

I only heard Zheng Xiuning's voice coming coldly: "Father has already suspected you. When father returns from the front line, he will start to take back the power in your mother's hands. If we want to deal with Jing Ning at that time, it will be difficult. more difficult."

"Mother, I know you want to take your time and drive a wedge between father and Jing Ning, but I really can't wait any longer."

Today's Zheng Xiuning has not yet grown up to the city of her previous life, and she has been filled with unwillingness and resentment for years of humility.

"It's our last chance before father comes back, Zheng Jingning, she must die!"

"Whoa!"

With the sound of thunder, the window was blown open by the strong wind, and the papers in the house were scattered in all directions, awakening Jing Ning who was dozing off.

She opened her eyes and looked at the still dark sky outside the window. The wind chimes hanging under the eaves were turning tirelessly, making crisp and tinkling sounds.

A chill suddenly rose in her heart.

She was about to close the window when she suddenly saw a black shadow flash past outside the window. She was about to exclaim when a ball of paper was thrown in from outside.

Jing Ning narrowed his eyes, opened the ball of paper, and a line of words came into view——

"I'll see you at the Xieyang Pavilion in a quarter of an hour."

The signature is Zhao Ying.

Jing Ning smiled mockingly. She had walked hand in hand for several years and was connected with each other. Of course, she knew Zhao Ying's handwriting. This note was indeed written by Zhao Ying, but she never expected that the other party would come back after she explicitly refused. Come to the door!

She squeezed the note tightly, and called Bihua: "Go to Xiao's mansion, and tell Miss Xiao San, I will ask her to meet at Xieyang Pavilion, and tell her to come quickly."

"Yes."

Even though she didn't know why her young lady was so weak, why she still wanted to go out, Bihua still complied with Jingning's order, but looked at her worriedly.

"Miss, if you want to go out, you still need to add more clothes."

"I know, you go."

As Jing Ning said, he suddenly looked up at Fangliang, smiled and waved.

A black figure jumped down, it was the person Zheng Anyan gave to Jingning——Luohua.

"Take this note and do something for me."

Listen to the wind and rain in the wind and rain building, and watch the setting sun in the setting sun pavilion.

This is a poem written by Liu Yuan, a former doctor of Zhongsan Dynasty. It talks about the two most famous scenic spots in the capital, the Wind and Rain Tower and the Xieyang Pavilion. The former is an elegant place to listen to the sound of rain, and the latter is the best place to watch the sunset.

There is only one person in the Xieyang Pavilion today, that is a young man in black clothes, his face has not yet fully grown, but he has a tall and straight figure, handsome and slender, with long eyebrows slanting into his temples.

Zhao Ying looked down at the hairpin in his hand.

Will she come?
Ever since he learned that Jing Ning fell into the water and fell ill and was bedridden, Zhao Ying has been restless all day long, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to visit him. It took all his courage to climb the wall and enter Zheng's mansion a few days ago. , and Jing Ning's words have clearly drawn a gap between the two.

Just when Zhao Ying was feeling uneasy, a red figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

He suddenly stood up, staring at the figure closely, ecstatic in his heart.

She actually came!
"Jingning!" He said in surprise, unable to contain the ecstasy in his heart.

"Three Highnesses."

Jing Ning's voice was very cold, without the slightest emotion, the frost in his eyes froze all the joy in the other party's heart.

She said calmly, "Jingning came here today just to tell His Highness one thing. I hope that His Highness will not come to the mansion to disturb Jing Ning in the future. It will be bad for His Highness and Jing Ning's reputation."

Zhao Ying's expression changed, and the hand holding the hairpin in his sleeve was clenched suddenly.

He raised his head and stared at Jing Ning, his voice was a bit aggressive, "You think this is harmful to your reputation, so why did you give me a hairpin and meet me by the lake that day?"

Zhao Ying only felt that there was a fire burning in his heart, the atmosphere of being deceived and played, and he was also heartbroken for the other party's unfeeling.

Is there such a thing?
Jing Ning thought about it seriously, and finally remembered.

That's right, when she was young and ignorant, when she first fell in love, she did give Zhao Ying a hairpin, and she did meet him by the lake.

When she came back that night, the story of her being alone with Zhao Ying spread throughout the capital, and her reputation was damaged by this, and she was fined to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights.
