Back at the inn, Ning Yujin has been feeling gloomy.
Ask why?
Damn it, where is the hundred taels of gold that was promised? Where is the generous prize that was promised?
If I had known that second place would be second place, it would be good to have Ji Leng Ruyue, the best in the world, perform a solo. At least she would have something to show off after returning to Beijing.
Now it's really all in vain.
She sat on the window sill, dangling her feet and said somewhat depressedly: "At first, I thought she was a beautiful woman with good looks and a good temper, but I didn't expect that she was actually a dominatrix! She has not yet reached this age.
She must have gotten married because she was too fierce and scared people away."
Thinking about it this way, Ning Yujin felt much more balanced.
Mo Jingxiao came over, stretched out his hand to twist her back collar, and pulled her off the window sill: "Do you want to fall down again?"
Ning Yujin became angry when he mentioned this, and hit Mo Jingxiao's chest twice with a pink fist: "What do you mean, it was already embarrassing enough for me to throw you in front of so many people.
He actually punished me by sweeping Tianmen Street! Humph, I will always remember this debt."
Mo Jingxiao let go of Ning Yujin with an expressionless face, turned around and said, "Is there any? I have no impression."
"Huh huh," Ning Yujin suddenly understood. She put her hands on her hips and snorted, "You are not impressed? Who are you kidding? You must be holding a grudge because I kicked you back then!"
Mo Jingxiao said with a sudden look on his face: "I have an impression of you kicking me."
Ning Yujin had a new understanding of Mo Jingxiao's rogue behavior, and was immediately made dumbfounded by him: "How can there be anyone like you?"
While the two were talking, they heard a knock on the door. The waiter said outside: "Two guests, Mr. Xu said he wanted to see you outside. The shopkeeper asked the waiter to come over and ask.
Do you want to let him in?"
"Xu Jinsong?" Ning Yujin and Mo Jingxiao looked at each other, waved and said, "Bring him over."
The waiter left in response and soon brought Xu Jinsong over.
Ning Yujin raised her eyes and saw Xu Jinsong, and said half-jokingly: "I said you were nowhere to be seen during the entire banquet. I thought you were arrested for breaking into someone else's villa."
"Xu acted carefully. Thank you for Mr. Ning's concern." Xu Jinsong came over and saluted the two of them, then said with a smile, "Xu has heard a lot about Mr. Ning's heroic deeds."
Heroic deeds? Bear deeds are the right ones!
What happened at today's banquet will definitely be like a prairie fire, and it will be known to all the states in less than half a day.
Ning Yujin thought that she and Mo Jingxiao had become well-known "celebrities" within two days of coming to the states. Why was there no joy at all, but a little bit painful?
Seeing Ning Yujin's sudden change of mood, Xu Jinsong seemed to know what she was thinking, and said quickly: "But Mr. Ning, don't worry, Xu also heard it by chance at Yunting Villa. So did those in the banquet hall today.
After being warned by everyone, I was able to leave Yunting Villa."
"Being warned? What do you mean?" Ning Yujin frowned slightly and asked.
Xu Jinsong looked at Ning Yujin with great interest and said, "That's what it means literally." Xu Mengsheng, the Thousand-Handed Scholar under Master Lu, and Xu Zhongsheng, the best scholar in the world, also known as Bai Xiaosheng, were at the beginning of the banquet.
We have thoroughly investigated the family backgrounds of everyone who entered Yunting Villa. If anything about today's banquet is leaked, they will all be involved. Of course, there is no need to detail the consequences. The third lady should be able to think of them.
?”
"So serious?" Ning Yujin was surprised, "This matter is embarrassing for me, right? Then Sister Lu Yunting is not such a protector."
Xu Jinsong opened his mouth to say something, but Mo Jingxiao shook his head to stop him, and immediately changed his explanation wisely: "Master Lu is famous for protecting his sister, so there is nothing unusual about it."
"But isn't Lu Yunting a good person among everyone? Doesn't he have a very good reputation among people in the world? Isn't he afraid of damaging his image by doing this?" Ning Yujin still didn't understand.
Xu Jinsong smiled and said: "Master Ning, you have to believe that with the manpower and material resources of Yunting Villa, it is very easy for a person to disappear silently from the world. And dead people will not speak.
How can you ruin people's image by talking?"
"That's true." Ning Yujin lowered her eyes and thought to herself, the water in the Lu family is too deep, so it would be better to have less contact with it.
What's more, she and Mo Jingxiao offended Lu Pingting so much, so Lu Yunting didn't know what to do with them.
However, if the soldiers come to block it and the water comes to cover it, it is useless to worry now.
She changed the subject and asked Xu Jinsong, "Have you discovered anything at Yunting Villa when you come to us now?"
Xu Jinsong sighed and said with some disappointment: "Mr. Xu has little power, and there are many masters of Yunting Villa who are heavily guarding him. Mr. Xu didn't even enter the inner courtyard, how can he find anything?"
"Hehe, it's easy," Ning Yujin said with a sly smile, "If you go and hook up with the eldest lady of the Lu family, of course you can go anywhere in Yunting Villa. She is grabbing random men right now. You can send her to her door, no?
Just right?"
Xu Jinsong's eyes lit up when he heard the first half of the sentence. When he heard the last sentence, he shook his head in horror: "I can't help it. Miss Lu has a distinguished status, and Xu thinks he's not worthy of her."
Is it because her status is not worthy of her or she just doesn’t want to do it? Looking at the fearful look on Xu Jinsong’s face, this Lu Pingting must be “famous” in the various states.
Ning Yujin still wanted to tease Xu Jinsong, but Mo Jingxiao asked from the side: "What are you doing here?"
This question was quite direct, and he immediately brought the distant topic back to the main business.
Xu Jinsong hurriedly explained the purpose of his visit: "It's like this. There have been incidents of young girls being murdered in various states one after another. You two must have known about this matter. Xu had no clue, so he wrote a letter to Brother Zizhan, and he mentioned the two of them.
I will come to Zhuzhou today and ask Xu to ask you two for help. In particular, I want to ask Mr. Ning for help."
As he said that, his eyes glanced at Ning Yujin.
Murong Xuan didn't mention why he had to ask Ning Yujin in his letter, but since he said that, he must have a certain reason.
A woman who can conquer the king of Ding, Mo Jingxiao, who is more powerful than anyone in the Ye Dynasty, should have something special about her.
As soon as Ning Yujin heard this, she understood that Murong Xuan wanted her to help Xu Jinsong examine the body to see if there was any abnormality.
This was not a difficult matter, but she was still confused about the whole thing, so naturally she had to ask everything clearly before talking about it.
