Ning Shu indifferently walked to her side, bent down and whispered in her ear with a smile: "It seems that Miss Nianyu has not seen a ghost for a few days."
"You!" Qi Huaijin glared and was about to scold, but suddenly remembered the damn slap that night and inexplicably had some lingering fear.
Today, there was an important matter, so Ning Shu did not have time to stop and tease her. She took Forsythia and Hui Mo to the northwest corner of the Prince's Mansion, where the young masters preferred archery, equestrian, and polo fields.
When they walked halfway, Hui Mo suddenly gave her a look.
Ning Shu smiled.
The three figures quickly turned into the flower garden and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The figure that had been quietly following behind her immediately panicked and looked for her. Just like a headless fly, she saw the figure that just disappeared suddenly appear in front of her.
Ning Shu looked at her with a smile: "Are you looking for me?"
It was Qin Ji Chun Niang who was playing the zither in the corridor.
Chun Niang was startled and hurriedly curtsied: "I just saw Miss at the banquet and felt that you were very similar to the young master who came to find Niinu the day before yesterday. But I was not sure, so I followed you for a long time. Please forgive me."
Ning Shu said: "You are not mistaken, it is indeed me. Do you have anything related to that night to tell me? "
Chun Niang slowly shook her head: "I was not there that night, so I can't help Miss. But there is one thing that I am very sure of: Niinu did not run away with a man. "
Ning Shu asked: "Why do you say so?"
Chun Niang said: "At that time, mother was beside me, so I did not dare to say some words. In fact, Niinu personally told me that she came to the capital to find a good sister who grew up with her, not a lover. Her hometown, Qingzhou, is more than a thousand miles away from the capital. She had to travel through mountains and rivers to get there. You can imagine how difficult it was. So when the procuress said that she ran away with a wild man half a month ago, I did not believe it. She must have had an accident. And that night, she greatly offended that rich young master. I am really worried … "
Ning Shu said, "You want me to help you find Niinu's whereabouts?"
Chun Niang nodded her head and bent her knees deeply, "That's right. People like us are like duckweed, and our lives are worthless than paper. Even if we die in some muddy pit, no one will stop to look at us. Therefore, I beg Miss, if … if it's convenient for you, can you go to the yamen and ask around? Perhaps you can save her life. This servant kowtows and thanks Miss! "
Ning Shu helped her up: "Well, I'll help you ask the government. If I get the news, I'll send someone to tell you."
Chun Niang was overjoyed and bowed deeply again, "I can't thank you enough!"
After Chun Niang left, Huimo walked awkwardly like a woman and whispered, "There was a conflict that night. Mr. Cloud Leaf was poisoned and Niinu was missing. I think this matter must have something to do with the brother of the imperial concubine."
Ning Shu lifted the corner of her skirt and continued to walk forward. Soon, she stood on a small slope with a wide field of vision.
"Simple, just ask Ruan Chang 'an and you will know."
Her eyes fell on a heroic figure wearing a purple jade pendant on the archery field. He was holding a bow and arrow and shot through the target, hitting the bullseye. The onlookers applauded and the scene was very lively.
Although Ruan Chang 'an was famous for being a playboy, she had to admit that he had some ability. For example, his archery skills in the written test were indeed superb and ranked among the top in the capital. From the beginning until now, he had won three rounds in a row. Moreover, he was the youngest brother of the most favored Consort Nguyễn in the imperial court. Who dared not to give him some face? Everyone applauded.
Amidst the dozens of praises, a soft and light voice suddenly pierced through the crowd. The voice was extremely pleasant to the ears, but the content of the words was extremely hateful. "I've always heard that the Fourth Young Master of the Ruan Family has outstanding archery skills, and that he is able to shoot wild geese from the sky. That's why I specially came today to meet him. I didn't expect him to be so mediocre. It's more interesting to watch the ladies throw pots. "
