Just like the first time they met.
She was dressed in a white male outfit and her hair was tied up with a hair band. She didn't wear any complicated hair accessories and looked neat and tidy. At first glance, she looked like a suave and handsome young master from a rich family. But at a closer look, one could tell that she was a girl. Her facial features were too distinctive. She was bare-faced and clean.
This was the first time Han Yunxi saw Ning Jing. Hearing about her was not as good as seeing her in person. She suddenly wanted to see how Ning Jing would look like when she got married with a phoenix coronet and robes.
She would definitely be beautiful!
However, Han Yunxi didn't overlook Ning Jing's calm and experienced aura. The more she looked at Ning Jing, the more she felt that Ning Cheng and Ning Cheng looked alike.
She didn't know if it was because she knew about their relationship beforehand or because the siblings really looked alike.
Mrs. Tang was also meeting her future daughter-in-law for the first time. She whispered, "She looks like Li 'er."
Han Yunxi laughed secretly and didn't say anything.
They sized up Ning Jing, but Ning Jing treated them as air. She only had eyes for Tang Li and walked towards him casually.
Tang Li looked at this woman and the scenes of that night flooded his mind uncontrollably. His ears were actually burning.
Ning Jing stood in front of Tang Li and only then did Tang Li regain his senses. He wanted to stand up but Ning Jing was standing too close to him and blocked his way.
What was the meaning of this? She was going too far!
Mrs. Tang couldn't stay calm and was about to speak when Han Yunxi pressed her shoulder to calm her down.
Tang Li wasn't easy to deal with. He simply sat down and supported his head with his hand. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ning Jing with a frivolous smile. "Long time no see. Did you miss me?"
Ning Jing's hands that were hidden in her sleeves slowly clenched into fists. She almost punched him but fortunately, she controlled herself. She looked down at him from above and asked coldly, "You haven't answered my question."
Tang Li asked with interest, "How did you know that I didn't bring my heart?"
He placed one hand on his chest and hooked his finger at Ning Jing with the other. He smiled mischievously. "Come, I'll let you touch it. It's hot!"
In the silence, everyone present could hear the sound of Ning Jing's fists clenching. For the first time, Mrs. Tang knew that her son was so good at flirting with women! Han Yunxi's mouth twitched. She didn't know what was good about Tang Li.
They had achieved their goal of exploring the path today, so there was no need for Tang Li to pretend anymore! It was best to finish the discussion quickly and go back to prepare for the wedding.
If he wanted to tease Ning Jing, he would have plenty of time in the future. Why did he have to behave atrociously in Ning Jing's territory?
"Sure!"
Ning Jing smiled and leaned down. She placed one hand on the armrest of Tang Li's chair and reached for his chest with the other. Tang Li was stunned. He didn't expect that this woman would dare to do it in front of everyone!
Tang Li's hand pressed firmly on his chest and didn't move.
Ning Jing didn't touch his hand. Instead, she reached into his shirt and pushed Tang Li's hand away bit by bit. Tang Li's entire body tensed up. He was so nervous that he let go of his hand.
Soon, Ning Jing accurately touched his chest. She pressed it lightly and her lips curled into a sneer.
At this moment, everyone around them was on high alert. Even Han Yunxi, who didn't know martial arts, was frightened. In this situation, Ning Jing could kill Tang Li with just a thought.
However, Tang Li didn't feel threatened at all. He stared blankly at Ning Jing and smelled the pleasant fragrance on her body. He didn't look at her seriously that night. Now that he looked at her up close, he realized that she was really beautiful.
Han Yunxi pushed Mrs. Tang. Mrs. Tang quickly said, "Tang Li, don't be rude!"
Who was she teaching a lesson to?
Tang Li finally came back to his senses. He quickly pulled Ning Jing's hand away and pushed her away without a trace. "It was just a joke. Jing 'er, you don't mind, right?"
Jing 'er?
Her parents died early, and the elders in the clan never called her that. What right did he have to call her that?
Ning Jing's eyes flashed with disgust, but she smiled. "So it was a joke. So you don't want to marry me?"
Tang Li was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to answer her.
Ning Jing laughed. "It was just a joke. Young Master Tang, you don't mind, right?"
"Why would I?" Tang Li didn't want to argue with her anymore. When he married her into the Tang Sect, he would see how he could subdue her.
"Cough, cough. Ning Jing, don't be rude! Why don't you come and greet Mrs. Tang? "President Ouyang finally spoke.
Ning Jing quickly turned around and bowed to Mrs. Tang. She was natural and graceful, respectful and not humble.
"Get up quickly. Let me take a look."
Mrs. Tang held back her anger and was very enthusiastic. She took Ning Jing's hand and looked at her seriously. "What a beauty! Cuihua, don't you think so? "
Cuihua?
Han Yunxi almost didn't realize that she was calling her.
"Yes, yes! Young Madam and Young Master are a perfect match! "Han Yunxi said in a low voice. The wedding nanny also came over to praise them. Ning Jing just smiled and didn't say anything.
The matters of the marriage proposal were basically settled. Mrs. Tang didn't want to stay any longer. After chatting for a while, she got up to leave.
Ning Jing didn't go out to see them off. Tang Li stood at the door, looked back, and said affectionately, "Jing 'er, wait for me to marry you!"
Outside the door, the mountains were as dark as ink. Tang Li was a touch of white in the ink. His gentle smile was fixed in the ink painting and in Ning Jing's mind.
This scene was Ning Jing's deepest memory of Tang Li in her life.
After they left, Ning Jing began to count the betrothal gifts. She picked up the Pearflower Storm Needles and pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure out how to use it. She didn't know if it directly activated the mechanism or if there were other procedures.
Although she wanted to try activating the mechanism, she didn't dare to. She knew that the Pearflower Storm Needles were the core, which meant that there was a limit to the number of needles hidden inside.
This thing was what Ning Cheng wanted, so she shouldn't bother with it.
She looked at the other hidden weapons, but she couldn't understand them. "Come, give all these to the clan head. Be careful. If you break them … be careful of your heads! "
She checked the ten carriages of gold, silver, and jewelry one by one. Each carriage had ten boxes, so ten carriages had a hundred boxes. She estimated the value of these betrothal gifts.
"Miss, the Tang Sect is so generous! That wedding nanny was right. This is definitely the best betrothal gift in the world! "The servant girl smiled.
Ning Jing glared at her with a straight face, and the servant girl immediately shut up. However, Ning Jing's lips unconsciously curled up slightly. She originally thought that the Tang Sect wouldn't give any more betrothal gifts other than hidden weapons. She didn't expect them to give so many.
The betrothal gifts were the face of the in-laws, but it was also the in-laws' respect for her.
Her marriage to Tang Li was special, but no matter how strong Ning Jing was, she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart. After all, this was the only time in her life she would marry.
Ning Jing felt a little nervous as she gently stroked the chest of betrothal gifts.
She … was really going to get married!
At this moment, Ning Nuo walked out with a smile. "Ning Jing, you received such a large sum of betrothal gifts. How will Cloud Realm Trade Consortium give you a dowry now? "
"I said before, you don't need to worry about my affairs! Scram! "Ning Jing hated Ning Nuo more than anyone else, not Tang Li!
"I just came to remind you that Lady Tang said there was no need for a dowry. The Tang Clan can still support you!" Ning Nuo reminded her. "The Tang Clan gave so many betrothal gifts that it's obvious they don't lack money! That mother-in-law of yours is very formidable! "
Ning Jing understood that if she didn't bring enough dowry, her mother-in-law would eat her alive!
"Someone come, bring me the list of names of Cloud Realm Trade Consortium's arms dealers!" Ning Jing said Coldly.
Ning Cheng grew alarmed. "What do you want to do?"
"It's none of your business! Try spouting nonsense again! "Ning Jing warned Coldly.
"Ning Jing, I'm warning you now. If you give the arms dealers to the Tang Clan, big brother won't forgive you!" Ning Nuo grew serious.
"Who said anything about giving them away? Cloud Realm Trade Consortium accepted the betrothal gifts, but the dowry is mine to keep! The Tang Clan's assassination weapons have never been leaked to outsiders. As I see it, this is a chance! "
Ning Jing mused. Perhaps she could sell some of the Tang Clan's smaller weapons and weapons for a big business!
"This … is a good idea!" Ning Nuo understood her intentions …
After Lady Tang's group left the gorge, they didn't go far before turning off their pursuers. Long Fei Ye and Tang Li sat in the carriage as well.
"With Ning Jing's personality, her dowry wouldn't be gold, silver, or jewels. Besides money, Cloud Realm Trade Consortium's most valuable assets are their shops. They have a very complete business chain in all trades." Han Yunxi analyzed. "Ning Jing wouldn't marry into the Tang Clan for nothing. If she wants to gain benefits from the Tang Clan, she'll have to target their assassination weapons. The arms dealers are her first choice!"
"The dowry is in her hands, so there's a risk. Be careful not to lose the Tang Clan!" Tang Li said.
Although Cloud Realm Continent had gunpowder weapons, they were few and far between. Wars were still fought with cold weapons, so the arms dealers were a very sensitive trade. Ning Jing wasn't so stupid.
Long Fei Ye patted Tang Li on the shoulder and said Coldly, "She's already yours. Can't you get her things?"
He was entrusting the heavy responsibility to Tang Li. Tang Li looked at Han Yunxi under pressure. "Sister-in-law, is that so?"
"What's mine is the Duke of Qin's, and what's the Duke of Qin's is mine. So what's mine is still mine!" Han Yunxi grinned.
Long Fei Ye didn't have any objections. Tang Li exhaled and leaned weakly to one side. He was at a loss. How should he turn Ning Jing's things into his?
In a few more days, his carefree days would come to an end!
"Yunxi, that gold ingot …" Lady Tang asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. That gold ingot will be a pathfinder. At the very least, it'll lead us to the entrance of the main hall."
Han Yunxi's gold ingot had a lot of secrets. When the last day of the month came, Tang Li would come to marry his wife. She and Long Fei Ye would then come to rescue them!
Over the next few days, they had another important task to take care of, and that was to ferret out the Tang Clan traitor!
After returning to the Tang Clan, Long Fei Ye immediately found Chu Xifeng and Aunt Ru to understand the details of the investigation.
"There are still ten or so people we haven't interrogated yet. The rest can be eliminated as suspects," Chu Xifeng replied honestly.
"And if we can't get anything out of those ten?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Chu Xifeng found himself in a difficult position. "This subordinate doesn't know everything about the Tang Clan, so I'll have to ask Aunt Ru for advice."
"Interrogate them first. As I see it, the traitor must be among those ten or so people. If rat torture isn't enough, we can try something else. I don't believe there's anyone who doesn't fear death! Anyone who dares to betray the Tang Clan will die! "
Unlike her previous silence, Aunt Ru was back to her usual ruthless and decisive self.
A complicated look flickered past Long Fei Ye's eyes before he said Coldly, "Bring the rest of the people here. Your lordship will interrogate them personally!"
