Princess He Xin blinked her eyes and quickly recovered her usual warmth. She released her: "That's right, the Yun family's young master returned to his hometown a few days ago. Your marriage has also been canceled. Your father has asked someone to look at a few people. There may be some clues. You should prepare early."
A single sentence caused Ning Shu's vision to instantly darken.
There were only five months left until her seventeenth birthday. Her three husbands had failed one after another. Her father was so anxious that he began to think of ways to find a fourth husband for her. It scared all the young masters in the city so much that none of them left their houses. They were afraid that the Duke would take a fancy to them. If that happened, they would have eight lifetimes of bad luck.
Although not long ago, she solved the Phoenix Terrace case in front of three hundred thousand people and fiercely made a name for herself. But under her deliberate spread, the common people slowly thought that she had an expert to guide her. Because of this, her reputation as a heavenly cursed star continued to spread.
Her first husband died in battle. Her second husband died of illness. Although her third husband was lucky enough to survive, he lost his memory. He was full of poems and amazing literary talent. He had to learn everything from scratch. Heavens, for most people, this was worse than death.
So: "If you want to keep your life, stay away from Ning Shu." These six words were hung on the bedside of countless young masters in the capital. Every day when they got up, they would read it before going to bed. They would remember it in their hearts to keep them safe.
She thought that her father should have given up. She didn't expect him to still be so tenacious. It really made her cry out in grief.
"You said before that you would never marry into the imperial family. Your father and I will not force you. Among these people, Prime Minister Tan's son, Young Master Tan, I think he is quite good. Although he was a bit unreliable in the past few years, he became more and more decent after entering the Supreme Court. Mother will go to see Mrs. Tan and sound her out. I must find the best home for my baby Shu. " Princess He Xin thought about it. She didn't have time to find trouble with Ning Shu. She stepped out of the door and prepared to find the Prime Minister's wife to talk about old times.
Behind her, Ning Shu hurriedly called: "Mother! Mother! "
Princess He Xin's figure was already gone.
"…" Ning Shu had a headache and held her forehead. In the end, she could only lie on the bed helplessly. Forget it, forget it. Let's take care of the present first. As for the rest, we can only deal with it as it comes.
He slept soundly all the way until noon. Ning Shu sat in front of the table and tasted the Cloud Dream Chicken and Lotus Seed Tofu that had just been made in the kitchen. They were all dishes that the kitchen maid had just learned and were very suitable for Ning Shu. Yun Meng Bao 'er, in particular, brushed the tender suckling pig's front thigh with a special honey sauce, then slowly roasted it over the charcoal fire. When it was sixty to seventy percent dry, she took it down, wrapped it in oil paper, and served it. This kind of food was fresh, sweet, and elastic. It wasn't so dry that it couldn't be chewed. It was just right. If he got tired of it, he could use a cup of Lotus Seed Tofu, and he would instantly feel refreshed.
As Ning Shu enjoyed the food, she thought about whether she should start with the imperial astronomer, the wolf demon nine years ago, or the death of Wen Cairen. An unexpected person came to Duke Ning, interrupting Ning Shu's short period of leisure.
"May Imperial Concubine Qi have good fortune and peace."
It was an octagonal palanquin. The curtains were airtight. Obviously, they didn't want to be seen by others. In the palanquin, Imperial Concubine Qi wore a scarlet peony on her head with three six-tailed phoenix hairpins. She looked at Ning Shu, who was kneeling and saluting, with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Half a month ago, the Empress gave Ruan Qingzhang's case to you. The result was very good. Now, this concubine will also give Zhangyu's case to you. What do you think? "
