Chapter 416: Don’t Be Afraid of Alerting the Enemy, There Is a Back-Up Plan
Shen Ningning's eyes were moist and red when she heard this.
"But you obviously have a chance. No matter whether it's Aunt Qingdai or Second Uncle, they will definitely be happy if they know your identity!"
Xu Jingxi smiled palely: "Are you really happy? My identity and Liang Yici's identity are not open to the public. Once people know that we are not General Liang's children, how will my mother deal with it?"
Shen Ningning was silent.
When Fang Qingdai left the capital, she was pregnant.
But Fang Qingdai has a proud personality and naturally will not forgive Mr. Xie for sleeping with other women.
She will not let herself be trapped in the inner house and share her husband with other women.
So she left the capital in silence.
Shen Ningning: "You don't blame them?"
Xu Jingxi lowered his cold eyes: "I have already regarded my parents as dead."
So, he didn't value the crescent jade. It didn't matter who gave it to. He didn't care. Even when Grandpa Xu was sick, he wanted to pawn it for silver.
It's a pity that others knew it was something from the Xie family and didn't dare to accept it.
"Then your surname wasn't Xu originally, did you change it later with Grandpa Xu?" The little guy was curious.
Xu Jingxi nodded: "My original name was Liang Zhengyuan."
Shen Ningning suddenly remembered something.
"But the servants in the mansion all said that the crescent jade that should belong to Xing San was accidentally lost. Don't you know that it was Aunt Qingdai who took it?"
Xu Jingxi looked at her: "You don't know about this?"
Shen Ningning was stunned: "Should I know?"
Xu Jingxi smiled helplessly: "The jades of Liang Yici and me were taken by your mother Shen Siyi, and given to my mother before she left Beijing."
"Ah!" Shen Ningning was surprised: "Mother actually knew that Aunt Qingdai was pregnant!"
Xu Jingxi nodded: "The wet nurse said that my mother insisted on leaving, and my aunt couldn't persuade her, so she could only give her the jade pendant that symbolized the identity of the heir of the Xie family, and told my mother that if the child wanted to recognize the Xie family in the future, at least there would be a certificate, and it wouldn't be unclear."
Shen Ningning thought of her own mother and couldn't help but admire: "Mother is really smart!"
Unfortunately, mother didn't expect that Xu Jingxi didn't want to recognize her, and Liang Yici probably didn't know that she was the daughter of the Xie family.
Shen Ningning counted with her little fingers and frowned cutely.
"Oh no, if I count this way, I shouldn't be the fifth child, but the sixth child!"
Xu Jingxi was stunned and laughed: "Liang Yici and I are twins, so it's not wrong for us to be the third child. I won't let you delay."
Shen Ningning stamped her feet anxiously: "If only my mother was here, I would ask her to give me a brother, and I would not be the youngest. I can't be the sixth child!"
Xu Jingxi couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, he thought of Liang Yici.
"It's been so long, why hasn't she come yet?"
Shen Ningning proudly put her hands on her hips: "Of course, because, how could I really let Xie Yuanjiu succeed? I had already arranged for people to invite Laizi's family and Liang Yici away."
"Not only that, I also arranged for people..."
Before she finished her words, the voice of the secret guard came from a distance: "Your Highness, we caught her!"
Shen Ningning smiled happily and grabbed Xu Jingxi's hand: "Let's go and see!"
They entered Laizi's yard and saw two secret guards knocking out a masked gangster and tying up the other two thieves who were pinned to the ground.
After tying them up, the secret guard walked up to Shen Ningning: "Filt and steel were found on them."
The little guy looked at them and stared at the three men in black.
"I already know who sent you here. Now you come with me to the palace and identify her together. I promise to spare your lives."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the man in black moved his jaw and looked vicious.
Xu Jingxi noticed something was wrong and shouted, "Be careful, they are going to take poison!"
The secret guards rushed back to the men in black and removed their jaws immediately.
It was too late.
The three men in black died one after another with blood flowing from their seven orifices.
Shen Ningning was a little stunned and was pulled out of the yard by Xu Jingxi.
"It's just a fire, but you don't even want your own life?" Xie Yuanjiu could ask such a loyal assassin to help her?
Shen Ningning was very surprised.
Xu Jingxi frowned and looked at the three bodies in the yard.
"There must be other forces behind her to help."
Shen Ningning originally planned to wait and see, and after catching the assassin, send him directly to the palace and ask the emperor to punish him.
Before Xie Yuanjiu could do it completely, she strangled her plan in the cradle.
However, she underestimated Xie Yuanjiu's cruelty.
She actually asked the assassin to set the fire. It seems that she was going to kill Laizi's family.
Shen Ningning reacted: "Once they die, Xie Yuanjiu will definitely know. We have alerted the enemy!"
Xu Jingxi followed with a deep look: "What should we do? What else does she want to do?"
The little guy turned his crystal eyes and thought for a while.
"Then I will deal with her in another way. Evil cannot prevail over justice. She can't succeed!"
After this incident, Xie Yuanjiu really behaved for a while.
In the National Academy, she lowered her head when she met Shen Ningning and never met Shen Ningning.
Even if she met Liang Yici, she would no longer conflict with her.
Her silence made Shen Ningning feel that there was another conspiracy.
And Liang Yici didn't understand it even more. That night, Ye Shangyi and Lu Shaoyuan actually dragged her to count the books in the National Academy!
At first, she was impatient, but Ye Shangyi and Lu Shaoyuan said that they were too busy. Liang Yici was not a cold person. She would never refuse to help others.
So, she could only stay to help them count the books. Unexpectedly, the collection of the National Academy was so large!
They didn't finish until the evening.
So she had to go to confront Laizi's family the next day.
Unexpectedly, Laizi's family disappeared.
According to neighbors, Laizi learned that there was free official silver in the nearby town. He only needed to take ten pieces of cloth to exchange for ten taels of silver.
So he set off with his family last night.
Liang Yici still didn't know that it was Shen Ningning who helped her to avoid her being charged with arson and murder.
Time passed in a flash, and half a month passed.
On this day, the blue sky was cloudless, and Master Han organized all the students to sketch and paint.
Everyone sat in the wide courtyard in the sun, talking and laughing.
At this moment, the book boy came running in a panic with a yamen runner.
The book boy lowered his voice and said a few words to Master Han, who immediately raised his head with a serious face: "Fourth Miss Xie, you go with the yamen runner first, your mother is in trouble in prison."
Xie Yuanjiu's brush fell to the ground, her face was pale and panicked, she stood up quickly, and hurriedly left with the yamen runner.
The classmates around her talked about it all at once-
"Why is it the jailer who came to notify?"
"Don't you know? Madam Xie killed a maid in Xie's house before and was imprisoned!"
"The maid is not the master, I have never heard of the master killing the slave and going to jail."
Shen Ningning listened quietly.
She was painting Mo Lingwei holding her hand to appreciate the flowers.
But her ears were always paying attention to the conversations around her.
Everyone didn't know the truth, but just sympathized with Xie Yuanjiu.
This was exactly what Xie Yuanjiu wanted.
When Xie Yuanjiu rushed to the cell, she saw a corpse covered with white cloth.
"Mother! Mother!" A trace of success flashed through her eyes, but she cried and rushed over.
I went on a spontaneous trip... I'll leave tomorrow, and I'm working hard on the manuscript now. I'll post some photos on VB when the time comes...(*^▽^*)
