That afternoon, just after lunch, officials from the government came and knocked on the door of Ning's house.
When the guard of the Ning family saw the official, he immediately softened his legs and asked tremblingly, "Who are the two masters looking for?"
The official asked, "Is Ning Shuo here?"
The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, then straightened his back immediately, and said calmly, "The two gentlemen went to the wrong door. Ning Shuo is not from our Ning family, but from the Ning family over there." An officer pointed the way and told them to detour to the other side, where the Ning family also had a gate.
The two officials looked at each other and left.
As soon as the gate of Ning's house was closed, the gatekeeper immediately turned around and ran into the mansion.
"Madam! Madam!"
Jiang Yunlan got a headache from the noise: "You're shouting so loudly that people can't even fall asleep. What's wrong?"
"Ma'am, something is bad." The servant paused, then said, "It's Master Tang that's bad."
Jiang Yunlan's interest was immediately raised: "What happened to Ning Shuo?"
"Just now, two officials came to look for Young Master Tang. The youngest listened to them. It seemed that Young Master Tang had done something and wanted to arrest Young Master Tang."
Is there anything else related to Ning Shuo? Isn't it just about the leak of the imperial examinations that has been rumored recently? Jiang Yunlan thought about it, and immediately stood up and went outside to watch the fun.
Before she could go out, there was chaos in the second room.
Ning Shuo was still lying in bed recovering from his injuries. The sun was just right today and he was reading with a book. At this moment, two officials rushed in and pulled him off the bed by pulling his arms. Because he had a broken leg, Ning Shuo could only hop on one foot and barely let himself fall.
Ning Shuo was completely stunned. The second lady came to hear the news. Seeing his embarrassed appearance, she screamed and rushed towards him: "What do you want to do to me?!"
The official said solemnly, "We are following orders to take Ning Shuo back for interrogation."
The second lady stood in front of Ning Shuo and said angrily, "Then tell me, what crime did my son commit?"
The two officials glanced at each other before saying, "Someone reported that Ning Shuo was suspected of stealing the exam questions. We will take him back for interrogation."
"Exam questions?!" The second lady was stunned and looked at Ning Shuo subconsciously.
Only Ning Shuo's face turned pale, and he almost lost his footing.
Although he has been studying abroad for many years, the second wife and he are biological mothers and sons. Seeing his reaction, he doesn't know what it means. The second lady paused, then turned to look at the official, but she still looked unreasonable: "How could my son steal the exam questions, don't slander others for no reason, my son has always been smart, and he is outstanding in learning, where is it? You need to steal the exam questions, did you catch the wrong person?"
"Madam, if you have something to say, it's better to go to the government, but tell other adults." The official said: "We are also obeying orders, and I hope Madam will not embarrass us."
But the second lady stubbornly stood in front of Ning Shuo, unwilling to let go.
The two officials were not polite to her either. One reached out and dragged her aside, while the other went to Lanningshuo. The second lady couldn't move, so she could only roar at the maids: "What are you all doing? Rescue your young master soon!"
Only then did the servants react, and they hurriedly went to stop the official errand. But when the official raised his hand, the knife he carried with him was unsheathed, and a sharp and icy cold light flashed on the blade, which immediately scared all the servants back.
Ning Shuo's expression was sluggish, and he didn't resist at all. He didn't seem to have reacted from this incident, and let the official messenger drag him out.
After they were taken away, the other official released his hand, let go of the second lady, and followed him out. As soon as he let go, the second lady could no longer stand firm, and suddenly fell to the ground. The maids hurried to help, and the second lady calmed down her breathing for a long time, and then she finally reacted. She quickly grabbed the maid and said, "Quick, go and call the old lady."
The maid got the order and ran out quickly.
When Jiang Yunlan came out of the room, she saw the official officer take Ning Shuo away, she raised her eyebrows, and her face was full of surprise. Rao was a little mentally prepared, but seeing Ning Shuo being taken away by officers and soldiers, and knowing that Ning Shuo was indeed involved in buying and selling exam questions, Jiang Yunlan was also very surprised.
This Ning Shuo was really suspected of buying and selling exam questions, but where did he get the exam questions
Not to mention Ning Shuo, even Ning Yanting might not be able to get in touch. Nothing like this happened in the last life, Jiang Yunlan only felt that she recognized this nephew the first day.
Not long after Ning Shuo was taken away by the official, another little maid hurriedly ran over from the Ning's house over there. When she saw her, she suddenly stopped and timidly called out, "Madam."
Jiang Yunlan glanced at her coldly, but didn't answer. The little maid looked at her nervously, and seeing that she didn't show any objection, she took two steps into the Ning Mansion cautiously, and then ran in quickly.
After a while, the old lady hurried out without looking at Jiang Yunlan, and went straight to the Ning Mansion next door.
Jiang Yunlan waited for a while, and seeing that no one was coming, then signaled the gatekeeper to close the door, and then walked quickly into the house, heading towards Ning Nuan's courtyard.
"A Nuan." Jiang Yunlan suppressed the excitement in her heart and hurriedly said: "Guess what I saw just now, Ning Shuo was taken away by the official, it seems that he is really related to the leak of the exam questions, A Nuan, this time also You guessed it."
Ning Nuan frowned and asked, "Where did cousin get the exam questions?"
"Don't tell me, I'm also very strange." Jiang Yunlan said, "I know the details of their family, but Ning Shuo has been in Jiangzhou, and what happened to him in Jiangzhou, I don't know. It's clear, but after returning to the capital, I don't think he has been in close contact with anyone..."
"His friend in Jiangzhou." Ning Nuan reminded: "Cousin has said a lot of things like this. I guess he sold the test questions when he went out to meet friends."
Jiang Yunlan was stunned for a moment: "Where did the exam questions come from?"
"Maybe my cousin has any adventures in Jiangzhou." Ning Nuan said: "What did the father say?"
"Your father doesn't know either, he still has a headache about this matter. If Ning Shuo did this, your father would inevitably be suspected. But this time, my mother has already prepared the money, and she can sell the house next door to the second house. Bought it."
When the Ning family split up, no one wanted to leave, so they each lived in a part of the Ning family's old house, built a wall to separate them, and opened a door for each. Jiang Yunlan had disliked it more than once, but Ning Yanting was reluctant to move out of the Ning Mansion, so she could only endure it, and now she thought of a way.
"No matter whether Ning Shuo's matter can be solved or not, the second room will definitely cost a lot of money. How much money they have in their hands, and how much they split up when they split up, I also know in my heart that when they are short of money, they must be eager for me to give it to them. Money comes to the door." Jiang Yunlan's abacus crackled: "I'll buy it from her at the market value, and I won't take advantage of her in danger."
"Second uncle may not be willing to sell."
"Even if he doesn't want to, I have to make him want to." Jiang Yunlan complained: "This house is divided into three at once, where is the place where people live, and there is no place for guests to live on weekdays, if it weren't for your father , I have already bought another yard in the capital."
Ning Nuan smiled and did not echo her words.
This is the old house of the Ning family. As the head of the Ning family, why is Ning Yanting willing to move out of here
If what her mother said can really come true, then the mother will be happy, and the father will be happy too.
It's just about Ning Shuo, Ning Nuan was very concerned about it. Speaking of which, Ning Shuo was also related to their Ning family, let alone living next door. It would be bad if it affected their family. But how much Ning Shuo was involved in this matter, Ning Nuan didn't know, and even Ning Yanting couldn't tell.
When Jiang Yunlan was gone, Ning Nuan couldn't help but took out the letter that was placed at the door of her yard today, and read it again from beginning to end.
An Wang continued to babble about the recent events in the letter, but he did not mention a word about the imperial examinations.
Ning Nuan turned the letter over and over to read it several times, and even read it several times about the fact that he ate two more sugar cakes yesterday, but he didn't see a word about the leak of the test questions. If it was normal, An Wang had already told her everything in the letter, in every detail.
Ning Nuan held the letter and pondered for a while, then Xiang Tao brought the pen and paper.
Xiangtao stood aside to grind ink for her, and couldn't help but look over here and ask, "Miss, do you really want to write a letter to King An?"
Ning Nuan dipped in the ink, picked up the pen and wrote the first word on the paper, while writing, she replied, "I just want to ask something."
"But Miss, this matter of the imperial examination has nothing to do with you. If you let the madam know about it... oops!" Xiang Tao cried out in pain, put down the ink stick, and covered her head pitifully: "Miss, this servant is also Nothing was wrong."
"If you don't tell me, how would my mother know." Ning Henan calmly said: "Besides, I just want to ask some things. After asking about this matter, I will never write to him again. ... If you don't think it's right, why don't you run an errand for me again?"
Half of her letter has been written, I am afraid that before Xiang Tao can go out, the letter has already been written.
Xiang Tao pursed her lips, knowing that she was making fun of herself, so she had to continue to help her polish her ink.
She watched Ning Nuan finish writing the letter, put it in the envelope, and put the envelope at the door, always looking like she was hesitant to say anything. After a while, the letter disappeared from the door without knowing it.
Xiang Tao knew that it was irreversible, and her heart fell back to the ground, whispering in a low voice, pretending that she had never seen it.
But when she turned around and saw Ning Nuan reading the letter from the morning, she felt her head suddenly go up.
"Miss." Xiang Tao leaned over and asked tentatively, "Miss, what exactly do you mean to King An? Madam has said it countless times, so that you must not fall in love with King An, if you are really right An Wang is tempted, how should I explain it to my wife?"
"Who said I was tempted?"
Xiang Tao Xin said: Still say no
Their young lady even learned to lie
"Then you hold King An's letter and read it all day long. The servant said that it was burned for you and refused to do so. Isn't that considered to be tempted by King An?" Xiang Tao broke the jar and pointed it out directly: "The servant Helping you hide it for so long, I worry about it in my heart every day, for fear that one day I will accidentally say this thing as a dream while dreaming, and even my wife will not dare to see it. ."
Ning Nuan looked at her in surprise: "Just looking at his letter is called tempting?"
Xiang Tao said angrily, "If it's someone else, it's called a love letter!"
Ning Nuan opened the letter and pointed to the line above that Chu Fei bought a starling yesterday, but how could he not teach him what to say, and said, "Look at it, don't you think it's very interesting?"
Xiang Tao glanced at it and thought to herself: Isn't An Wang an idiot? Where would anyone say such a thing in a love letter
"I watch it every day, and I'm in a good mood." Ning Nuan said, "Since my brother left, I haven't seen such an interesting thing for a long time."
Peach: "… "
Xiang Tao Xin said: Their young master is also a fool.
"I didn't let you burn King An's letter, I didn't mean to keep it, I just looked at it and found it interesting." Ning Nuan said: "You only saw me stop you from burning it, when will Have you seen me stay here on purpose?"
Xiang Tao thought about it, but it really didn't.
The girls from other families received a letter from their lover, and wished they could find a box to keep them alive, but their young ladies were different. After a day, they took the initiative to burn them.
It sounds like this now, why does it sound like... Their young lady treats King An's letter as a pleasure
Xiang Tao was stunned for a moment and was speechless.
This... This King An is in the hearts of their young ladies, shouldn't it be a daily entertainment
Peach: "… "
For some reason, Xiang Tao suddenly sympathized with King An.
Ning Nuan looked at her and saw that she didn't mention it again, so she carefully put away the letter with a smile on her lips. She pressed all the creases of the letter paper neatly, and one corner was raised, and she reached out and smoothed it out.
Not long after, An Wang's reply was sent back.
This time Xiangtao didn't stop her, but took the initiative to help her bring the letter in.
In the letter, Chu Fei expressed the joy that Ning Nuan took the initiative to write to him, and then told her about Ning Shuo.
As mentioned above, Ning Shuo was instructed by others, and this time he was pushed out first. As for the result, he didn't know. In his heart, Chu Fei sighed that Ning Shuo was unlucky, but kept silent about the people behind him.
Ning Nuan read the letter over and over several times before realizing that he was asking himself to continue writing the letter to ask.
