Chapter 624: Run Away!
At night, Ren Si finally waited until Shen Ningning came back from outside. She quickly went to Shen Ningning's room and told her everything she heard outside Mrs. Ren's door today.
"You should leave quickly before the person they are looking for comes." Ren Si said, putting a bag on the table.
She said: "There is some pocket money here that I saved. I originally wanted to use it to escape from marriage, but now that you are in urgent need, you should get it as soon as possible. Although it is not much, about two hundred taels, it is enough for you to go all the way. Flee to the south, and my father won't be able to catch you there."
Ren Si finished speaking hurriedly, but saw Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei, one sitting at the table calmly and drinking water with a calm face, while the other blinked at her with bright eyes.
Neither of them spoke, but it was true that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was!
Ren Si shook Shen Ningning's shoulders: "Don't be in a daze, did you hear what I said? If you don't leave, my second sister and my mother will definitely ruin your reputation."
Shen Ningning finally spoke, her red lips parted slightly: "Why do you want to help us? Could it be that after you heard that the husband beside me is not Fang Huan, you won't be afraid that we have other motives and intentions?"
Mo Lingwei nodded lightly, and then added: "After all, she is your own mother, why should we believe you?"
Ren Si bit his lower lip, looked at Shen Ningning, and said after a while: "I thought we were friends."
"Of course we are." Shen Ningning nodded.
Ren Si's face looked better: "So, I don't want to owe you anything."
This confused Shen Ningning: "When did you owe me anything? Are you talking about the meal I sent you when you were kneeling in the ancestral hall?"
"More than that," Ren Si shook his head, as if he was hesitating to speak: "There are also some things that I just learned about. My mother did something bad. She was sorry for your mother, and I think she also owes you. , but she definitely doesn’t want to make up for it. I have no relationship with her, so I’m not afraid to reveal this news to you.”
When Shen Ningning heard this, she smiled and said with a beautiful face: "Thank you. After hearing these sincere words from you, I feel that Ren Mansion is not all bad people."
"You can still laugh! If Fang Huan's uncle arrives tomorrow, it will be over for you two. Let's go!" Ren Si stuffed the package into Shen Ningning's arms and pulled her, trying to get her to leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ningning smiled lightly, held her hand, and comforted Ren Si: "We don't have to leave, and we are not afraid. Let him cause trouble."
Ren Si was surprised: "You, do you know how cruel your father is? If your affairs are really exposed, he will not show mercy to you."
"I know, I don't regard him as my father. To me, he is not close to you yet." Shen Ningning replied calmly.
She raised her slender eyelashes: "Anyway, you can go back. Don't worry about me. I will treat you to a good show tomorrow."
Ren Siwan was extremely suspicious and was sent to the door by Shen Ningning. The girl did not forget to return Ren Si's package to her.
"Keep your money well. Don't worry. After this incident is over, Mrs. Ren and Prefect Ren will never dare to betroth you to anyone else without me saying anything."
After saying that, Shen Ningning said a sweet dream and closed the door.
Ren Si was dumbfounded with his bundle in his arms, and walked back along the corridor, muttering in confusion along the way: "Is there something big going to happen tomorrow?"
After the door was closed, Mo Lingwei looked sideways at Shen Ningning, with a gentle tone in his indifferent tone.
"Seeing as her attitude towards you is good, I will spare her life after this matter is over."
Shen Ningning chuckled: "Don't forget what I told you. Let your people help investigate whether Ren Si is Ren Pengyi's child. I always feel that something is wrong. She doesn't look like the Ren family. Like, you can tell at a glance, it’s..."
"What is it?"
"He is someone who is incompatible with the Ren family just like me." Shen Ningning said honestly.
Mo Lingwei stood up: "It's already late, go to bed early, Master Tomorrow Valley is coming."
When Shen Ningning sent the letter to the capital, she thought she would have to wait for Master Gu to reply, but she didn't expect that the other party would immediately set off to meet them on the day they received the letter.
Master Gu only left a brief sentence in the letter. He said that the matter was very important and he needed to explain it to Shen Ningning in person.
For this reason, he would travel by land and water. The letter sent from the inn yesterday said that he would be able to reach Lingshan City by tomorrow evening.
Shen Ningning waited for him to come.
The girl stood up and was about to go to bed when she saw Mo Lingwei walking towards the bed consciously.
"Stop!" Shen Ningning scolded in a coquettish voice, pointing to the bamboo couch next to her: "Where is your bed?"
Mo Lingwei turned around, his thin eyes were dark and cold, but seemed to be a little pitiful.
"It's uncomfortable to sleep there, my back hurts."
"Okay then, you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the bamboo couch." Shen Ningning said, going to pack her bedding.
How could Mo Lingwei really let her sleep on the bamboo couch? Seeing that pretending to be pitiful didn't work, he lowered his face and said, "I'd better go to bed."
Who told him that there was nothing he could do to her.
Shen Ningning snickered.
The lights went out, and the faint blue moonlight outside the window flowed all over the place.
Shen Ningning turned sideways, with her slender hands under her head. She looked at Mo Lingwei, who was lying on his knees.
A pair of beautiful eyes, showing bright clarity in the darkness.
"Brother? You're not asleep, are you?"
"Not yet." Mo Lingwei opened his eyes.
Shen Ningning lowered her eyelashes, a little shy and reserved, but still mustered up the courage to speak.
"Thank you for taking care of me these days. I know that without your help, things would not be completed so smoothly. I want to say that it's a good thing you came."
Let her have someone to rely on, so she doesn't have to fight everything alone.
Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows, and a chuckle escaped from his thin lips: "Now you finally know how important I am?"
Shen Ningning did not comment.
She turned over and turned her back to him: "So let's get engaged when we go back. When mother comes back, I can concentrate on being your wife."
Mo Lingwei sat up excitedly: "Really?"
Shen Ningning's cheeks were hot, and she hummed. Mo Lingwei wanted to ask a few more questions, but the girl covered her ears and said coquettishly: "Go to bed, it's late, I'm sleepy!"
Mo Lingwei then lay down again, his heart filled with a faint joy.
So this is the taste of getting what you want?
No... he hasn't married Shen Ningning yet.
Mo Lingwei's relaxed and happy smile froze in an instant.
He remembered that the day before the horoscope matching, he was also too excited to sleep, but the next day, he received the news that Shen Ningning ran away from the capital.
Although he got Shen Ningning's promise, he still wanted to marry her home as soon as possible to avoid more trouble.
The night was dark and fog was rising.
The thunder seemed to have opened a hole in the sky, and heavy rain poured down on the ground, crackling, like water pouring back from the sky, all falling into Lingshan City. (End of this chapter)
