Chapter 31

At this moment, Ning Yongqiang, head of the village, hurried over with many villagers armed with knives, guns and sticks.Surprisingly, Mother Ye also came along. Seeing Ning Wanzhu in a state of distress and wearing a man's clothes, she became very anxious and slapped Ning Wanzhu hard, blaming her for ignoring her. The image of everyone's daughter, then pulled her into the room, helped her change the blood-stained clothes, washed her again, bandaged the wound on her neck, and then let her out.

In the outer room, Chang Shining was already sitting on the best armchair in Old Man Du's house, holding a pink porcelain teacup from an official kiln in his hand, holding the teacup in his left hand, and the gaiwan in his right hand, and gently fall.The tea cup made a very crisp "ding ding" sound.

Ning Wan Zhu Xindao: This person still can't change his old habit of enjoying comfort. Even in his previous life, Chang Shining always brought this fine porcelain and high-quality tea with him wherever he went.

However, Chang Shining didn't notice that she came out of the room. He was concentrating on the screen of the tiger descending the mountain that Old Man Du and Ning Wanzhu had painted together.Ning Yongqiang and others, together with Chang Shining's own entourage, waited quietly, waiting for Chang Shining to speak.

"Hey——" Chang Shining laughed, "The only thing that stands out from the whole screen is the oriole. Although the tiger is mighty, I love this oriole in the whole screen, it is unparalleled. , on the whole screen, the tiger seems to be specially designed to serve as a foil for the oriole. So, in this world, it may not be possible, whoever looks the most powerful can win." He turned his head and looked at Wu Yingjie. Said: "Brother Wu Shi, do you think so?"

Wu Yingjie knew that there was a deep meaning in Chang Shining's words, so he quickly lowered his head to think carefully, and after a while, he said solemnly: "The villain also thinks so."

"Haha!" Chang Shining looked up to the sky and smiled, and said, "Your name is Yingjie? You can follow me from now on. On the other side of the prince, I will go say hello to him."

Then Wu Yingjie saw that although Chang Shining was young, but he spoke and acted in a very orderly manner, and there were often deep meanings in his words, he bowed in his heart, knelt down and said: "I am willing to serve my son."

"My lord, what should we do with the remaining bandits and the injured old man?" Chang Shining's long attendant asked softly beside him.

Chang Shining's eyes turned to Ning Yongqiang, and asked in a superior tone: "You are from this Zhuangzi, what do you say?"

Ning Yongqiang made things difficult all of a sudden, he is not the head of the village, he is just the head of a big village, this time he brought people here, and he also heard that Ning Dayong came to send a message to protect the lady of Ning's family, how dare he be in Yongchunhou What to say in front of the prince.He saw that Ning Wanzhu had changed his outfit and came out accompanied by Nanny Ye, he quickly bowed and said, "The master of the villain is here, how can the villain dare to speak up?" He ran over and stood by Ning Wanzhu's behind.

Chang Shining was slightly taken aback, got up quickly, and came to Ning Wanzhu with his hands behind his back, and asked kindly: "I'm so sorry just now, I almost forgot about the second sister of the Ning family. By the way, you are the rightful owner of the Ning family right now." Son, how is it? Do you want me to send some soldiers to take you back to Nanyang City?" He pretended to be "ah" as he spoke, and said, "What's wrong with the Ning family? They are so relieved to leave you alone. In this country place?"

His handsome and harmful face is very close to Ning Wanzhu, and his face is extremely courteous.Ning Wanzhu glanced at him indifferently, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and said, "There are two important matters to be dealt with right now——Little Marquis, please listen to me."

Chang Shining didn't expect that Ning Wanzhu didn't appreciate his gallantry at all, but put forward his own idea instead. He couldn't help being slightly astonished, straightened his body, coughed lightly, and said, "Say it!"

"The first thing is the safety of Du's Village. This matter will fall on Mr. Wu... Mr. Wu." Ning Wanzhu Zhengse, staring directly into Wu Yingjie's eyes, said: "We always thought that Mr. Wu was The spies of the bandits came to explore the way, so there must be a large number of bandits still in the Funiu Mountains. For Dujia Village, it is always a serious problem. Mr. Wu, I don't know what your real intentions are, and I don't know what your real intentions are. Which side are you from? However, since you have voted for the little marquis, the Marquis of Changchun and my Ning family are old friends. Neither public nor private, nor the villagers can leave the banditry behind... "

When she said this, a big stone in Ning Yongqiang's heart fell to the ground, and he secretly praised his second young lady for her eloquence and responsibility.He suddenly thought, how did Second Miss become so smart now?

Over there, Wu Yingjie secretly looked at Chang Shining's face all the time, and seeing Chang Shining raised his eyebrows, as if he was about to echo, he knelt down with a "slap", and said to Chang Shining: "My lord, The little one is obliged. Earlier, the king of Han ordered the little one to find out the situation of the bandits in Funiu Mountain, so that the bandits can be stabilized, so that the officers and soldiers can catch them all in one go. Leave this matter to the villain, please rest assured." He looked at it again Ning Wanzhu clicked, and added: "Miss Ning, don't worry."

Looking at Wu Yingjie's eyes, Chang Shining praised him a little more.

"Second thing, the bandits who died here today are related to my Grandpa Du..." Ning Wanzhu showed a little embarrassment at this point, she couldn't say in front of everyone that she and Old Man Du worked together Killed, but since a life has been lost, it must be dealt with, "So, I would like to ask the young master to come forward and help me with this matter of negotiating with Nanyang Mansion." As she spoke, she solemnly saluted Chang Shining, please He helps. "Actually, this incident has something to do with the murder suspects that my Grandpa Du was carrying 30 years ago. I hope that the young master can help my Grandpa Du get rid of these official accusations as soon as possible and get my name cleared!"

Chang Shining immediately showed some flattered expressions, and quickly responded. In addition to agreeing to help Old Man Du deal with this official complaint, he also patted his chest and promised that the medical officer accompanying him would definitely heal the wound on Old Man Du's hand .Ning Wanzhu sighed in her heart, she knew how much she didn't want to get involved with Chang Shining, but for the sake of Grandpa Du's innocence, she couldn't care less about these things.

Old man Du, who was being treated by the military doctor, stared blankly at Ning Wanzhu with tears of gratitude in his eyes.

The villagers of Dujia Village who were waiting outside the door cheered when they heard that the young master who had brought soldiers from Beijing promised to cooperate with Nanyang Mansion to fight against the bandits in Funiu Mountain.Hearing this, Chang Shining glanced at Ning Wanzhu complacently, but seeing that she was only thinking about old man Du's injury, he couldn't help feeling bored.At present, the personal guards of the Chang Mansion are protecting Chang Shining, hugging Ning Wanzhu and the others and walking slowly. When they arrive at Dujia Village, all the soldiers will be stationed outside the village for one night, and they will go to Nanyang Mansion the next day.

Old man Du also took a big car and went to Nanyang Mansion to "surrender" under the care of the medical officer.Chang Shining assured Ning Wanzhu that the old man Du would come back soon, so Ning Wanzhu smiled at Chang Shining.

After three or four days, Cao Yue'e, under the protection of Cao Shijun, came to see Ning Wanzhu in a hurry.When Cao Yuee saw her, she hurriedly pulled her into the back room, and said, "Second Sister Ning, what's going on? What happened to the bandits a few days ago?" She looked up and down for a while, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? ?”

At this moment, Ning Wanzhu's wound on her neck was still not fully healed, and she was still wrapped in white gauze. At this moment, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled and said, "What can I do?"

"Didn't I be in Nanyang City two days ago? You know what I heard." Cao Yue'e listened to her and said something to Ning Wanzhu.

It turned out that in the circle of ladies in Nanyang City, there was a rumor that the second lady of the Ning family was robbed by bandits in Funiu Mountain, and was rescued by the villagers after a day or two.If Ning Wanzhu didn't listen, her face turned pale with shock.She didn't expect that the story of her being in danger at Old Man Du's place would spread so quickly, and it would be spread so badly.According to these rumors, if I was kidnapped for a day or two and then sent back, even if I was only a ten-year-old girl, my so-called reputation would be completely ruined.If this matter becomes serious, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue living in Nanyang for the rest of my life.

However, many people in Du's Village knew about the banditry incident. As long as some details were confirmed, regardless of whether the most important things were true or not, the whole thing would be spread out and become true.

Ning Wanzhu was very grateful to Cao Yue'e for traveling such a long distance, and came here from Nanyang City to deliver a letter to herself.At the same time, she is also grateful to this friend from the bottom of her heart for giving her unconditional trust and support.Ning Wanzhu thought to herself: Sure enough, I was right in my previous life, and I am right in this life as well.

She sent Cao Yue'e to the outer courtyard.Cao Shijun was waiting for her there, and when he saw Ning Wanzhu coming out, he also looked her up and down.Ning Wanzhu chuckled and said, "Brother Cao, I have never lost an arm or a leg, so don't worry about me so much!"

Only then did Cao Shijun feel relieved, and tried to squeeze a smile for her.When the two Cao brothers and sisters went out, Ning Wan and Zhu Yixi heard Cao Yue'e look up and say to Cao Shijun: "Second Sister Ning is really pitiful. She lives alone in Zhuangzi, so let's not talk about it. There are so many people spreading gossip about her and pouring dirty water on her. Brother, why don't we take her to live at home in the future!"

Cao Shijun didn't know what to answer, and the two went away together.

Ning Wanzhu turned around immediately, and asked someone to invite Mrs. Du, the head of the village, to come in.Mrs. Du hurried over, only to see Ning Wan and Zhu Duan sitting on the Arhat's bed drinking tea in silence.After a long time, Ning Wanzhu raised his head to look at Mrs. Du, and said, "Auntie, I have lived in this village off and on for almost three years now!"

Mrs. Du has a straightforward temper. Hearing what Ning Wanzhu said, she almost shook her hands and said, "Hey, Second Miss, you really want to call me that. If you have anything, please tell me."

At this time, Ning Wanzhu climbed down from the Arhat bed, with tears in her eyes, walked to Du's side, raised her face to look at Du, and said with a sob: "But auntie, it is rumored in Nanyang that I was born at auntie's place. It's over—" As she spoke, she told how Cao Yue'e came to pass the news, and how there were gossips about her in Nanyang City, all these things were said one by one.

Du's brows were upside down when she heard this, and said: "How can such a thing happen? Brother Qiang and Dayong are both witnesses. Miss Ning, don't worry too much. This kind of thing... this kind of thing..." She wanted to comfort Ning Wan Zhu said that there is no need to take this kind of thing to heart, but this kind of thing that ruins the reputation of her daughter's family, no matter how hard Ning Wanzhu seeks life and death at the moment, she will not be an exaggeration.

Ning Wanzhu whimpered and said to Mrs. Du: "I'm unlucky, so it's fine if people spread the word, but...but what happened to me on my aunt's Zhuangzi, I'm afraid it will hurt my aunt and Uncle Zhuangtou." !"
