Su Ningxin rode to the Chamber of Commerce, a little faster than usual. It was dinner time, the vendors on the street had closed their stalls, and there were very few pedestrians. She was not worried about bumping into anyone.
Just as she was thinking this, when Su Ningxin turned the corner, she suddenly saw a cyan figure appearing in front of her. She was so frightened that she immediately reined in her horse, causing the bay red horse to neigh. She flew up with her front legs to avoid knocking the man to the ground. .
Su Ningxin tried hard to hold the reins tightly to prevent herself from falling off. She was very angry. It would be fine if she encountered this situation because she was riding too fast. But she clearly saw that there was no one on the road, and the person suddenly rushed to the road. Central, are you seeking death? Don't look for her even if you want to die.
"You..." Su Ningxin calmed down the bay red horse. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the person opposite stopped instantly. How could it be him
Su Zhan, who was on the opposite side, stood up and patted the non-existent soil, then raised his head and looked at Su Ningxin. After a moment, he said, "If you ride a horse in the street, you must be imprisoned according to the law."
He said that he should be imprisoned according to the law, which gave Su Ning the illusion that what he said was that he should be executed according to the law.
Su Ningxin was stunned for a moment before arguing, "You think this is the capital. There are no such rules at the border."
Su Zhan's expression was as usual, "Oh? Su has just arrived in Xingyuan and doesn't know the rules here, but I can't believe your one-sided words. Why don't you and I go back to the government office to ask clearly? If it's true as you said, Su will definitely let go You leave and apologize in person.”
Su Ningxin: "..."
Seeing the two guards behind Su Zhan pulling out their swords in demonstration, Su Ningxin rolled her eyes helplessly. A court inspector wanted to arrest her, but she could still knock him over and escape.
There is a saying that a monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple. If she runs away, Su Zhan will definitely go to the Chamber of Commerce to find her. By then, beating the court officials will not be as simple as locking her up for a few days. She must be stupid to run away. Why is the guard opposite so nervous
Besides, she was not guilty at all, so it was nothing to go to the government office.
"You will know as soon as Master Su goes back and ask. Why not go with him?" Su Ningxin said as she got off the horse and made a gesture of invitation to Su Zhan.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the government office, the group met Ji Chu head-on. His eyes wandered around Su Ningxin and Su Zhan twice, as if he was exploring the relationship between the two.
[What are you looking at? Are you looking at old-fashioned jokes? I'll dig out your eyes.]
Chu Jihan withdrew his gaze and confirmed that the two people had nothing to do with each other, so he stepped forward to greet him, "I have met Mr. Su, but I didn't expect that Mr. Su and Brother Shen have such a good relationship?"
Su Zhan was noncommittal, "Why is Mr. Ji in the government office?"
Chu Jihan glanced at Su Ningxin, and then said, "Brother Shen has caught a Xixia spy. I will send him to the government office for interrogation."
"By the way, Mr. Ji, do you know if there are any rules in Xingyuan Mansion that prohibit riding horses in the street?" Su Zhan asked.
Chu Jihan thought for a while. Xingyuan Prefecture is the border. There are more horses than the capital and Jiangnan. Riding horses can be seen everywhere on the streets. There should be no such rules, so he shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
After hearing this, Su Zhan bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ji. Su has something to say to you."
When Su Zhan leaned over, Chu Jihan leaned over and returned the greeting, saying, "Master Su, just say so."
"Sometimes eyes can be deceiving, but the least deceptive thing is the eyes. Mr. Ji must see clearly."
Su Zhan said a few incomprehensible words, then turned around and looked at Su Ningxin meaningfully, bowed his head again, "Since Xingyuan Mansion has no rules against riding horses in the street, it means that Su has been offended, and I am here to punish Shen Sir, I apologize."
Su Ningxin avoided his courtesy and said, "Master Su is also doing it for the people. I don't blame you for not knowing the laws of Xingyuan Mansion when you first arrived in Xingyuan."
After saying a few polite words, they separated. Su Zhan and Chu Jihan returned to the Lu Mansion together, while Su Ningxin mounted the horse again and went to the Chamber of Commerce, this time at a much slower pace.
When they separated, Su Ningxin took a deep look at Su Zhan. She was not sure whether Su Zhan recognized the identity of the palace concubine, but she was sure that he knew that she was disguised as a man and was actually the eldest daughter of the Su family.
Su Ningxin learned the art of disguise from Feng Ying's leader. The leader was about the same age as Su Ningxin, and the secret guards usually called her boss.
Su Ningxin had a lot of contact with Su Zhan using the art of disguise, and many things happened. If she wrote a book, it should be called "Two or Three Things My Boss and Su Zhan Have to Say". It can be seen that the two people are deeply involved. .
If Su Zhan knew about the boss's disguise, it would not be surprising to recognize that Shen Qing and Su Ningxin are the same person through eyes that cannot be changed no matter how disguised they are.
But what did he remind Ji Chu to do? Are you worried that your evil intentions will be detrimental to Ji Chu? It's possible.
It's just that he didn't reveal his identity directly, probably because he didn't do anything extraordinary and hoped that Su Zhan would return to the capital quickly so as not to disturb her happy life.
Su Ningxin walked all the way and soon arrived at the Chamber of Commerce. The first person she met was Uncle Qin. Uncle Qin was very worried about her safety. He had been watching at the door since Ji Chu left in the morning. Uncle Qin cared about Su Ningxin. After a while, he was afraid that she would misunderstand Shuangbai, so he said that Shuangbai insisted on following her, but he stopped her.
"Uncle Qin, don't worry. I understand. Shuangbai is seriously injured, and he may even lose his life due to the bumpy mountain road." Su Ningxin said with a smile, but Uncle Qin didn't say anything.
When she went to Shuangbai's room to see her, she had already fallen asleep and quietly checked Shuangbai's pulse. It was true that the root was not hurt and it would heal after a few months of good care.
Uncle Qin didn't lie. Shuangbai's injury was not fatal now, but it had damaged his internal organs. If he moved around, it might really kill him.
There is definitely no way for Shuangbai to return to the Su Mansion, so she can only stay in the Chamber of Commerce to recuperate.
Su Ningxin went back to the yard and told Shuanghua a few words, to the effect that she and Shuangbai would be outside for a while and asked her to hide the news so that no one would find out.
She might be outside for a long time this time, so she had to go out for a while. Su Ningxin told Shuanghua that it would be better to report her illness to the outside world, and asked Shuanghua to put on a hat and pretend to be her and go to the nunnery to stay for a while. She thought of all the excuses. Mr. Su San was transferred to the prefecture of Jiangning, and the old lady was brought back, but she was still ill. It was obvious that it was useless for others to pray for her, so she had to stay in the nunnery to be sincere.
Shuanghua responded, and then said to Su Ningxin, "It's okay for others. Miss Wanxin comes very frequently. Even if she is rejected, she will still come and ask. Didn't the girl help her bring Aunt Mo back? She also What do you want to do?”
"Ignore her for now. There should be something hidden behind her. Otherwise, I won't be able to hire Dr. Zhan Rong. I will send someone to keep an eye on her." Su Ningxin comforted her.
