Chapter 268 Did You Two Make an Appointment?
On the street, the Xie family's guards escorted Badshun, Wang Qiaoer and Deng Fugui.
Along the way, the guards were shouting: "These three people stole the princess's belongings and paraded them through the streets. I hope everyone will learn from them and not do this shameful act and bring shame to their relatives and friends!"
The people pointed and pointed.
"Hey, isn't that Mr. Ba?"
"They are capable of stealing things. They really deserve to be paraded through the streets by the princess."
"Is that Badshun's son next to you?"
"That's not his biological son. His mistress took someone else's son and married it into his family. I heard that the child abandoned his biological father and already recognized Mr. Ba as his father."
Everyone felt shameful.
Wang Qiao'er immediately became what they said was a woman who clung to power and was quick-tempered.
A few rotten vegetable leaves fell on Wang Qiaoer's head.
Deng Fugui was anxious and immediately stepped forward to protect Wang Qiaoer behind him.
With red eyes, he warned passers-by: "Don't bully my mother!"
When Uncle Deng saw this scene in the crowd, his heart became completely cold.
Even if he knew that Wang Qiaoer had done something wrong, Deng Fugui was still willing to follow her.
Deng Fugui is no longer his son.
Uncle Deng turned around and left sadly.
Later, Shen Ningning heard that Badshun had stolen her things and was not tolerated by the people.
I couldn't stay in the capital any longer, so I had to pack up my bags and go back to my hometown with my whole family.
Wang Qiaoer and Deng Fugui also left with him.
When the old village chief found out, he burst into tears and said, "I will never see wealth again in this life."
On the contrary, Uncle Deng's mood was not affected and he even comforted the old village chief with a few words.
"Dad, you still have me."
The weather is getting colder.
The sky is gloomy, and the cold wind is raging across the land of Cangyun Kingdom.
Many people have run out of firewood and want to go up the mountain to cut down trees.
But the previous snowstorm had frozen the trees on the mountain as hard as stone and made them wet inside and out, making it impossible to make dry firewood.
Fortunately, the imperial court immediately launched a disaster relief operation, giving away wood stacks for burning firewood, as well as rice and noodles.
Let the people breathe.
I even heard that it was donated by a mysterious Jiangnan woman. When people talk about this girl, they inevitably praise her for her generosity.
Shen Ningning went to attend Lu Shaoyuan's birthday party.
As soon as they reached the foot of Langshan Mountain, they saw Mo Lingwei getting off the carriage.
The young prince is dressed in a black fur coat, with black fox velvet lining, and his eyes are sparse and cold and handsome.
The moment he saw Shen Ningning, Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows, with a look in his thin eyes.
"It's such a coincidence that you came here specifically to pick me up?" He smiled faintly.
However, he was not happy yet.
The Lu family's carriage came from behind.
Lu Shaoyuan raised his head and waved to the little guy: "I'm here to pick you up, Shen Ningning!"
Mo Lingwei's expression suddenly turned cold.
The Black Wolf King, who was squatting next to Shen Ningning, looked at Mo Lingwei and then at Lu Shaoyuan.
The wolf's pupils were filled with impatience.
These two brats are here again.
When the Lu family's carriage stopped, Lu Shaoyuan was a little surprised to see Mo Lingwei.
"Why is His Royal Highness here?"
"Shouldn't I be like this?" Mo Lingwei's tone was cold.
He turned his thin eyes to Shen Ningning: "Have you two made an appointment?"
The little guy came over carrying a box of birthday gifts.
"Brother, before I had time to say it, today is Lu Shaoyuan's birthday. Last time Mrs. Meng made a special trip to invite me, so I agreed."
"Well, Lu Shaoyuan, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you. I wish you a happy birthday!"
Lu Shaoyuan took it and opened the box. He saw four ginseng tied with red rope!
He was quite surprised: "Such a good ginseng... looks like it must be hundreds of years old."
"Shen Ningning, where did you get this?"
The little guy muttered: "I dug it from the mountain."
Lu Shaoyuan's eyes widened.
Is Langshan such a treasure?
If you dig casually, you can find four century-old ginseng roots with all the beards and tails!
Lu Shaoyuan came to his senses and said, "Let's go quickly. Zhuangzi will be rushing to hold the banquet in half an hour."
Shen Ningning was about to nod when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Mo Lingwei looking at them with an icy aura.
The little guy remembered: "Brother, you come with us too!"
Lu Shaoyuan was stunned, then looked back at Mo Lingwei: "Prince, do you want to come with us?"
He didn't invite Mo Lingwei, not because he didn't want to, but because he wasn't familiar with Mo Lingwei.
Naturally, I didn't expect to invite the prince.
Mo Lingwei crossed his arms and sneered: "You two go to the banquet together, do you still have a place for me?"
Shen Ningning tilted her little head and didn't understand: "Brother, do you mean not to go?"
Mo Lingwei glanced at her, his face cold and white, his jawline tense: "Go."
The little guy suddenly beamed with joy and turned to touch the Black Wolf King's head.
"Wolanglang, please go home. I don't think I'll be back until tonight."
The Black Wolf King's ears twitched, indicating that he understood.
On the way to the villa.
Shen Ningning sat in the middle, and Lu Shaoyuan and Mo Lingwei sat on either side of her.
The little guy was very comfortable eating the pastries prepared by Lu Shaoyuan and drinking hot tea.
On the other hand, Lu Shaoyuan and Mo Lingwei, one felt uncomfortable and the other looked cold.
Lu Shaoyuan coughed lightly and said, "If you don't entertain me well at today's birthday banquet, please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Okay." Mo Lingwei responded coldly.
The carriage fell into silence, except for the sound of Shen Ningning eating melon seeds and reading a storybook.
Mo Lingwei suddenly asked: "Which villa are you going to?"
Lu Shaoyuan sat upright and replied, "My mother bought this hot spring villa three years ago."
Shen Ningning became interested and asked curiously, "Can I take a hot spring bath?"
Lu Shaoyuan finally smiled at her, "Yes, there are six natural hot springs in the villa, you can take any one you want."
Mo Lingwei's throat rolled up and down, his eyes cold.
"There are also in the palace." He said, not forgetting to emphasize, "The pool is very large, you can even swim in it."
Shen Ningning's eyes suddenly brightened and she clapped her hands, "Okay, okay, I like this."
Lu Shaoyuan hesitated for a moment.
He thought about it and took out a chessboard from a box beside him.
"Do you want to play chess to relieve boredom?"
Shen Ningning blinked, "But I don't know how."
Lu Shaoyuan smiled, "It's very simple, I'll teach you."
Seeing that the two of them were about to play together again.
Mo Lingwei frowned and pinched his string of Buddhist beads twice impatiently.
He simply stood up and forced Shen Ningning to the seat where he had just sat.
"I know how to play. I'll play with him. You watch and you'll learn it in a while."
Lu Shaoyuan's smile froze, and he could only agree reluctantly.
The chess pieces were made of the finest white jade and black jade.
The chessboard was set, with Mo Lingwei holding the black pieces and Lu Shaoyuan holding the white pieces.
The two played against each other, and Lu Shaoyuan said, "Your Highness, I'm not good at chess, so I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Mo Lingwei said in a light tone, "It's just to kill time, I'm just playing casually."
Although he said so, the two people became more and more serious.
On the chessboard, the black pieces fought and the white pieces counterattacked, and the chess skills of both sides were evenly matched.
But in the end, Mo Lingwei's black pieces still used a move to lure the enemy deep into the enemy and outflank the white pieces.
It determined the outcome.
Lu Shaoyuan's forehead was covered with sweat. Seeing that the white pieces on the chessboard were doomed, regret flashed in his eyes.
It was almost possible to be surrounded and killed!
The prince still has some cunning in him.
Mo Lingwei chuckled: "Thank you."
He turned to Shen Ningning and said: "Do you understand?"
Who would have thought that when they looked over, they saw that the little guy had already fallen asleep in the carriage with his back to them, holding the heater!
Mo Lingwei:...
Suddenly I felt that I was not very happy about winning.
When the carriage stopped at the gate of Yunwu Villa, Shen Ningning finally woke up.
Lu Shaoyuan got off the carriage first, and she was half-led by Mo Lingwei to walk down.
The cold air in the face hit her, but it could not hide the excitement around her.
Shen Ningning looked closely and found that there were many familiar faces coming to the banquet.
It turned out that Lu Shaoyuan had also invited other people from the National Academy.
The little guy glanced and saw Ye Shangyi surrounded by several noble ladies, whispering and looking in her direction.
