Ning Wan felt that if the emperor heard what he said, he would be furious to death.
Also, if the emperor knew that he was so powerful and had the ability to ask envoys from other countries to choose him first, he would not have to wait for his princes to take action. He, the emperor, would have to kill him first.
The carriage drove back to the capital in a leisurely manner without incident.
In the capital, Ning Xian'er was sent back to the mansion two days earlier. Although the families didn't know the reason why she was sent back early, they knew that she was carried into the mansion when she came back.
In order to preserve her reputation, Ning Xianer claimed that she was ill and returned to the capital early. However, the people in the capital were not fools. The people who escorted her back were from the palace, which meant that she was
Escorted back to Beijing.
For a time, there were a lot of speculations in various houses. Many people who did not move around frequently on weekdays frequently passed by the house to test the situation under the pretext of visiting patients, but they were all blocked by the concierge.
Ning Xianer thought that as long as she insisted on not showing up, she would be fine until Ning Guogong returned to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, she forgot that there was Ning Heng in the house.
Last time in the east courtyard, in order to escape, she directly attacked Ning Heng. Ning Heng remembered clearly, so when he regained some consciousness, he became resentful towards this second sister.
Although he was young and could not find out the inside story, he secretly went to Caiyun Residence to see Ning Xian'er once and found that she was covered in injuries, so he quietly let the news out.
What good could a noble lady who was escorted back to Beijing with injuries all over her body do?
With just a little brainstorming, everyone can come up with a lot of exciting content.
For a time, the reputation of the female family members of Ning Guo Gong's mansion spread throughout the capital. When Ning Wan returned to the capital and learned the news, she started to ridicule Ning Guo Gong.
"Father has really taught a good pair of children. Even if his daughter is useless, he can't even raise his son well. At such a young age, his mind is full of such tricks and tricks as a stay-at-home woman. In the future, the reputation of this house's female family members will be ruined.
It’s bad, my father wants to make a good marriage for the sisters in the house in the future, but I’m afraid he won’t be able to do it.”
After saying that, she patted her butt and returned her things.
For her, reputation or not is not very important. After all, she has never thought about getting married.
As long as she has money in her pocket and a backer, as a person with modern ideas, she feels that her life can be very nourishing, but that may not be the case for others.
They deeply believe that a woman's life must be fulfilled by marrying a good man.
Ning Guogong's face was extremely ugly!
"Someone, bring me the young master!"
…
After Ning Wan returned to the east courtyard, she didn't care about the bad things in the front yard.
"Is Zisu back?" she asked.
"Miss, Zisu came back in the middle of the night last night. I will call her." Baozhu said, opening the curtain and going out.
Not long after, Zi Su came over, carrying a baggage in her hand.
"Miss, these are the medicinal materials you asked your slave to collect along the way. In addition, there are two wild ginseng plants picked on the cliffs. Even the snail semen you asked for, I have collected a small bottle of it. Take a look.
, is there anything wrong with anything?"
She handed over the bundle, and Ning Wan took out the things and placed them on the table one by one. After confirming that everything was in place, he nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work. There is nothing wrong with the things. You can go down and rest."
With these things, she could completely remove the toxins from her face. She ordered Baozhu and Banxia.
"Next, I'm going to refine some antidotes. You guys stay outside and no one is allowed in."
The two of them responded, respectfully retreated to the door, and closed the door.
After Ning Wan made sure that it was quiet outside, she carried the medicinal materials and entered the medicine house. Although there were many medicinal materials in her medicine field, the poison in the original owner was very special, and she did not have the most critical medicine guide.
Therefore, she could only send Zisu to find it for her.
Fortunately, she was lucky and could be found near the hunting ground.
This time, she stayed inside for a longer time. When she came out, she heard someone say that all the gold sent by the emperor to reward her was intercepted by Ning Guogong on the way.
She almost laughed out of anger. When she was in the hunting palace, she knew that the scumbag father was trying to get her money, but she didn't expect that he, a dignified elder, could do such a shameless thing.
"Let's go to the warehouse."
A quarter of an hour later, Ning Wan led the servants in the courtyard and rushed to the door of the warehouse in a hurry. The steward of the warehouse was a little frightened when he saw her, but in the end, it was Ning Guogong who had the final say in this mansion, so he again
He straightened his back.
"Miss, this is not the place you should come to. If you want to pay money, you need to get the approval slip from the Duke."
Ning Wan didn't talk nonsense to him, grabbed his collar and pushed him against the wall.
"Have the two thousand taels of gold that the emperor rewarded this lady been put into the treasury?"
The steward was a little confused: "What gold? I've never seen it before."
Zisu punched her lower abdomen with one punch, and the steward screamed in pain: "I've never seen it before. The gold was probably in the Duke's courtyard and was confiscated in the Duke's warehouse."
