Forsythia pushed open the door and came in, "Miss, dinner is ready, do you want to eat it now or when?"
Ning Shu's white fingertips casually pointed at the translucent screen. The translucent screen faintly outlined her beautiful figure. "You can put it there first. I'll use it after I take a shower."
"Okay." Forsythia put the food on the small table. When she tidied up her dress, she accidentally knocked over a wooden box inside. She quickly bent down to pick it up, but when she saw the shape of the wooden box, her expression suddenly changed.
"Miss, you rushed for a day and a night just to get this thing from Master Hui Ci's old residence?"
Looking at Forsythia's nervous expression, Ning Shu rubbed the tip of her nose guiltily, "You found out … Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything with it, it's just that Master's old residence has been unguarded for a long time, it's not safe to leave this thing there, I thought it would be better to keep it with me."
Forsythia's expression was unprecedentedly serious, "Miss, do you think I'm only five years old like second young master? This is a life substitution Gu! When Master passed away, you said that this thing was too evil, if you take this Gu, all the injuries, poison, and illness will be transferred to your body, exchanging a life for a life, it's against the laws of heaven. Master struggled before he died, but he still didn't use it, it's better to let it go back to silence and never appear in the world again. But now you deliberately took it out, what do you want to do?! "
Ning Shu smiled, "Are you afraid that I'll use it to exchange my life with Xiahou Qing? Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Xiahou Qing's life is very tough, he can walk around the gates of hell and come back, he won't die so easily. Even if one day he really becomes terminally ill and can't be saved, I don't have to exchange my life with him personally. There are too many criminals in this prison who have committed unpardonable heinous crimes to count. I don't care which criminal is going to be executed the next day, I will buy his life and compensate his family well. I am sure he will agree. Why would I put myself in danger for no good reason? I'm not that stupid. "
"Really?" Forsythia looked at her suspiciously.
"Good Forsythia, will I swear to you on the greatest pleasure of my life? If I'm lying, then I'll never be able to eat any delicacies in the future, nor earn a single copper coin. "She raised her hand and swore, her eyes wide open with sincerity.
Forsythia gradually dispelled her doubts and put down the wooden box.
Ning Shu thought of something and asked, "By the way, Forsythia, how has Tan Shaoqing been these days?" Before she left the city, she had specifically asked Forsythia to keep an eye on Tan Shaoqing's condition.
Forsythia frowned and sighed, "Sigh … He's not doing so well …"
Ning Shu frowned.
Ten miles away, after the sudden death of the envoy, Xi City returned to its usual bustle in less than two days. There were even many people who were itching to come here to pay their respects to the crime scene. It was as crowded as a marketplace and the limelight was unparalleled. In an inconspicuous brothel at the corner of Xunfang Terrace, Tan Siwei sat silently in the corner with unkempt hair and a dirty face. He poured cup after cup of strong liquor down his throat like a piece of wood that could move silently.
The drinkers around him pushed away the girls in their arms and looked at each other. They stood up and surrounded him with smiles.
One of them with slanted eyes smiled and said, "Aiyoyo, let me see who this is. So it's the high and mighty Second Young Master of the Prime Minister's residence, the youngest fourth-ranked official, Young Master Tan of the Supreme Court. Why are you in such a good mood to come to a brothel and drink wine with us, a group of ordinary people? This commoner is really flattered, hahaha. "
