Ning Wan curled her lips. She knew Ban Xia's temperament. The most timid guy would actually argue with others. It could be seen that what the other party said must be unpleasant, and it must have something to do with Ning Wan.
"Been beaten?" Ning Wan asked.
Zi Su nodded, knowing that this matter could not be hidden from Ning Wan, so she said honestly: "Nowadays, people in the capital are gossiping, and the people in the Duke's Mansion are also watching the eldest lady's joke. Miss, I don't understand, but you obviously
The benefactor of the regent, why did he... why did he go back on his promise and drive you out of the palace? "
Regarding the regent's affairs, Zisu and the others have not dared to mention a word in the past few days, for fear that Ning Wan would be sad.
Ning Wan originally thought that she should be sad, but after being ill for the past few days, she became calm. No matter Helian Mochuan pushed Ning Wan away with good intentions, or he really didn't like her.
To Ning Wan, these are no longer important.
"He is the regent, and he naturally has his own reasons for doing things. Whether it is weighing the pros and cons, or having a weak relationship, I was the one who found him in the beginning! Along the way, he has supported me a lot, so I have no feelings for him, Zisu.
Hatred. What's more, love between a man and a woman is a matter between two people. If he doesn't like it, is it possible that I have to rush him?"
"But I feel sorry for you, Miss. Without Miss's help, he would not be able to recover at all!" Zi Su also cried in anger, but Ning Wan wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"It was an exchange between me and him. I treated him, and he helped me secretly. It's a clean slate. There's no right or wrong. It just means that maybe in his heart, your lady
My weight is not heavy enough!"
In fact, the moment he saw Ning Wan leave, Helian Mochuan regretted it. When he returned to the room, he stayed up all night. He thought he had done something good for Ning Wan, but because of his own self-righteousness, in the near future
, paid a heavy price.
On the other hand, the emperor in the palace was very satisfied with the news. He did not want the Duke's Palace to get married to the Regent's Palace, but now that Ning Wan was abandoned, the Emperor was extremely happy.
"Your Majesty, now that Miss Ning is notorious, do you want to take back the jade pendant you gave me?" the eunuch asked tentatively from the side.
That jade pendant was of great significance, and Ning Wan's identity was not worthy of it at all, but the emperor shook his head and said: "No hurry, no hurry! That girl is not a soft persimmon, but I want to see what this girl will do when she encounters a dilemma.
Take your place. There will be a banquet for the prince to choose his concubine in a few days. You will personally choose a palace dress and send it there. I want her to attend the banquet without any mistakes!"
The eunuch nodded and hurried out to get ready. He went to the Shangyi Supervisor to find a palace suit, and then went to the Duke's Mansion in person with the edict, only to be told that Ning Wan did not live in the Duke's Mansion.
"Miss Ning is not in the mansion? What is the reason for this? She is not the eldest lady of the Duke's mansion. If she doesn't live in the mansion, where is she?" Facing the eunuch's question, the servants of the Duke's mansion didn't know what to do.
How to answer.
The housekeeper quickly reported it to Ning Qingyuan. When he learned that someone was coming from the palace, Ning Qingyuan quickly changed his clothes and went straight to the gate.
"Eunuch Jing is here to welcome you. The palace of the Duke of Guo is in full bloom! Please come in, Eunuch!" The Eunuch of the State greets you personally. It is said that Eunuch Jing wants to give you some face.
But he held the edict in his hands, but did not take a step. Instead, he looked at Ning Qingyuan with cold eyes and said: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Guo. The Za family came to announce the edict. It is for Miss Ning Wan. In addition, there are also the emperor's
Reward. Unfortunately, Miss Ning is not here, it seems that the Za family will return in vain!"
With that said, the eunuch turned around and was about to leave. Ning Qing saw the sight and hurried over to stop him.
"Father, calm down, calm down! The eldest lady is not at home because of something. I will send someone to invite the eldest lady back to the house. I also ask the father-in-law to wait for a moment!" After saying that, Ning Qingyuan winked at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper quickly took people to Wangyue Tower overnight, but Wangyue Tower was closed. In the middle of the night, the housekeeper banged on the door.
"Miss, Miss, I am Old Liu, the housekeeper. The Duke has something important to see the lady. Miss, please open the door!" Such a loud voice woke up the waiters in the backyard of Wangyue Tower.
Ning Wan hadn't slept at all. When she learned that the housekeeper, Old Liu, was here, she was a little surprised and asked, "Did the housekeeper say what happened?"
Zi Su reported back: "Steward Liu said that a father-in-law went to the Duke's Mansion to declare an edict, but the eldest lady could not be found. Now that the Duke is in the palace, he asked the eldest lady to return to the house quickly!"
Ning Wan was a little surprised that the emperor would actually issue an edict to himself, but the emperor's order could not be violated. Ning Wan changed her clothes, got on a carriage and rushed back to the Duke's Mansion overnight.
Before entering, I saw Ning Qingyuan, the Duke of the State, waiting at the gate.
"Why are you coming back so slowly? You made Eunuch Jing wait for a whole hour. Let me tell you, if Eunuch-in-law blames you later, I won't speak for you!" Mingming saw Ning Wan before, and it was like a mouse meeting a cat.
Now he has become so mean. Apparently he knew that Ning Wan no longer had a backer, so he started to behave like before.
"The father-in-law in the palace is not here to declare an edict to my daughter, and it has nothing to do with the Duke. It is really unnecessary for you to do this. What's more, it is an imperial edict. If it is really to blame, I am afraid it will bring harm to the entire Duke's palace, so
