"Miss, I see that your forehead is full and your cheeks are slightly red. You are going to have a lot of luck with men recently. Do you want to know when you will meet your destined one? You just need to give me some money and I will do it for you. "
As soon as Ning Shu arrived at the west market where Xunfang Terrace was located, she was stopped by a fake Taoist priest.
Hearing the words "luck with men", Ning Shu's forehead bulged and her molars became cold. She said coldly, "My face is red because I ran away just now. My forehead is full because I was angry. As for money, I don't have a single copper coin with me. If you want money, you can go to the Emperor or Duke Ning to ask for it. As for fortune-telling, I have learned it, but I learned to calculate people's lifespan. Taoist priest, do you want me to do it for you for free? "
When the fake Daoist Priest heard this, he hurriedly put away the fortune-telling banner and moved to the side with his tail between his legs. Then, he and the other passersby stared with wide eyes as she walked into the alley and into the Fang Seeking Platform that was tightly surrounded by officials.
He suddenly realized that no wonder she was so difficult to deal with. It turned out that she was the famous female general who brought bad luck to her husband and was sent by His Majesty to investigate the case of the envoy's murder, Ning Shu. It was said that the envoy's death really made people shiver … Although they didn't earn any copper coins, there was a good show to watch. It was not a loss.
"Lady Ning, there is water on the ground and the road is slippery. Please come this way." Hui Mo was very cautious along the way, but he still tried to please his wife.
Ning Shu, who had been silent all the way, finally stopped and gave him a look.
Hui Mo promised seriously, "Lady Ning, don't worry. I am the one who caused this trouble. I will explain it to His Highness!"
Ning Shu smiled bitterly. He could explain it clearly, but the engagement had been fixed. Even if he explained a thousand times, he couldn't turn back time and tear up the engagement.
Thinking of the silent figure of Xiahou Qing under the camphor tree and the scene of the carriage of Prince Nanping's Mansion disappearing in front of her eyes, she suddenly had a headache. However, due to the urgency of the situation, they could only put the matter of the engagement aside for the time being and wait for the case to end in five days before considering a solution.
Ning Shu took a deep breath and cleared her mind temporarily. She forced herself to calm down and deal with the current situation: "Let's talk about it later. Let's investigate the case first." She was indebted to Hui Mo. Now that things had come to this, it was meaningless to haggle over it.
Hui Mo was moved to tears, "Yes! I will definitely perform well! "
Hui Mo was responsible for observing the terrain around the platform. Ning Shu walked up the stairs and boarded the platform. She said to the officer who was responsible for guarding the platform: "Did you bring the brothel mother here? I heard that the First Young Master Tan was the one who arranged the banquet last night. I'll have to trouble you to make a trip to the Prime Minister's residence and say that Ning Shu invited you. "
The officer said: "The First Young Master heard that Lady Ning was coming to investigate the case early in the morning, so he came here to wait for you. He is now in the middle of the platform."
As soon as the officer finished speaking, a blue figure came out from the middle of the platform. Ning Shu looked up and saw Tan Sixian's iconic peach blossom eyes with his usual smile. But the smile was inevitably bitter today.
Seeing Ning Shu, he first bowed to her and said politely: "Greetings, Lady Ning."
"The First Young Master is too polite. My daughter Ning Shu greets the First Young Master."
After Ning Shu returned the greeting, Tan Sixian turned sideways and opened his hands to invite Ning Shu in. While leading the way for Ning Shu, he said apologetically: "Thank you, Lady Ning. Speaking of which, last night's banquet was arranged by the First Young Master at the request of the First Young Master. I didn't expect that such a thing would happen. The First Young Master … Alas, in the end, it's my fault. I didn't arrange enough guards in advance. I can't shirk the responsibility of the First Young Master's death. I'm sorry to have caused trouble to Lady Ning. "
Ning Shu also said politely: "The First Young Master helped because of the kindness of others. It happened so suddenly. How could the First Young Master know that someone would secretly kill the First Young Master? Please don't blame yourself."
Ning Shu and Tan Sixian had met a total of two times before. Her impression of this person was neither good nor bad. She only felt that this person was smooth and slick in dealing with people. No matter where she was, with whom she was with, she would be considerate and not offend anyone. For example, when the First Young Master stared at her hand and said something offensive, he was the one who smoothed things over.
Another example was the death of the First Young Master. There were so many Young Masters who attended last night's banquet, including the Seventh Prince. They all wanted to hide as far away as possible. However, he was waiting for her here early in the morning and even took the responsibility for it. He was smooth and slick, but he didn't lie. Coupled with his good looks, it was hard to dislike him.
