"Go on." Nan Xianxian suppressed the resentment in her heart. She knew what she had to do. If she wanted to live a better life in the future, she had to carefully consider which way the road was leading!
Seeing that she wasn't angry, Nan Zhaoxue knew there might be a chance, so she quickly said, "As you know, a lot has happened in the manor recently. I actually suspect that it was all done by the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Princess. Right now, the only ones in the manor who haven't been harmed are me, you, and Fifth Sister. What I'm worried about is that their next target will be one of the three of us! Therefore, we need to unite and fight against the Fourth Princess together!"
Nan Xianxian was taken aback. She made Ji Wushang and the Fourth Prince sound like gods and demons! Clearly, all these things that happened in the manor were caused by Leng Ruolan alone! Of course, there was also that bitch Zhao Yirou! Now, she's blaming Ji Wushang and the Fourth Prince! Is the Fourth Prince such a villain? Hmph, of course not! At most, it's just that Ji Wushang is utterly wicked!
However, since it's about uniting against the Fourth Prince's Consort Ji Wushang, it's worth considering! If we can kill Ji Wushang, I'll directly become the Fourth Prince's official wife!
"How should we cooperate?" Nan Xianxian looked up.
"Tell me your purpose, and I'll help you achieve it! Then, we'll deal with the Fourth Imperial Consort and see what she does!" Nan Zhaoxue said calmly. Knowing your enemy is the key to victory! Nan Xianxian, don't blame me for using you. Everyone looks out for themselves! Once I'm safely married, I'll let you go!
Nan Xianxian sized up Nan Zhaoxue. This woman was extremely cunning! She had to be extremely careful! She absolutely couldn't let her know her thoughts!
"What ulterior motive do I have? I just want to live a peaceful life. If you hadn't suddenly come to me about this collaboration, I wouldn't have guessed what you were trying to say!" Nan Xianxian sneered. "If there's nothing else, you can go back now! If you need any help, just tell me, and I'll do my best to help you!"
"Fine!" Nan Zhaoxue gritted her teeth. This woman was her opponent! Not easy to deal with! She would have to take it one step at a time!
"Then please!" Nan Xianxian smiled and stood up.
Nan Zhaoxue said coldly, "I will always stay by my mother's side, so please take good care of the rest of the place! If anything happens, deal with it properly!"
"Fine!" Staying by that bitch Leng Ruolan's side, is that it? Hmph, you think this will save her from death? Dream on! Nan Xianxian cursed inwardly.
Nan Zhaoxue walked out.
It seems we still have to rely on ourselves. Since they're all like this, we might as well try to protect ourselves!
As dusk settled, Nan Zhaoxue immediately entered Lanruo Garden. She had to protect Leng Ruolan; if anything happened to her or the child, her family would have no place to stand in the future!
Without children, there is no way to survive!
She should find a good family to marry into!
Don't think I don't know! Nan Xianxian, you want to marry the Fourth Prince? Don't you even know who you are! But since you won't marry General Ma, I will! Nan Zhaoxue snorted coldly and immediately walked towards the study of the Prince of Jinnan.
Moxuan Garden.
Ji Wushang elegantly poured tea into his own cup. There was still about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before it got dark. He said he would be back by then. She would wait for him.
At this moment, a person hurriedly walked in from outside. Ji Wushang saw that it was the Shadow A Xu that Nan Xuzong had left for him, and immediately waved for him to come in.
Hongfei and Cuiwu quickly closed the door.
"What is it?" Ji Wushang asked authoritatively, sitting at the table.
"Fourth Imperial Consort..." Ah Xu immediately told Ji Wushang what he had just heard.
Ji Wushang's lips curled into a mocking smile. "As expected, none of them are easy to deal with!" She waved her hand. "Go down and continue to keep a close watch on them!"
"Yes!" Ah Xu immediately went down.
Hongfei and Cuiwu stepped forward, "Fourth Imperial Consort, what should we do now?"
"No rush," Ji Wushang chuckled. "Nan Zhaoxue guessed correctly. My next target is one of those three. But I don't want me to make the move; I want them to do it themselves! How can I let blood stain my hands? That would be terrible!" Ji Wushang sneered. "However, Nan Zhaoxue wants to marry General Ma Er, but I'll refuse to let her! Nan Xianxian wants to become Cong's concubine, but I'll make her someone else's lowly concubine! As for Nan Zaiqing, he's a complete idiot. His face is ruined, yet he still thinks he has the looks! Heh, there are plenty of wolves in sheep's clothing in the countryside!"
Hongfei and Cuiwu listened to her words with their heads down, remaining silent.
"Father is about to spread the word that they've reached marriageable age, so the next few days will probably be very busy." Ji Wushang took a sip of tea before continuing, "As far as I know, there's a family in Songcheng that sells pork, surnamed Hu. That family has a fierce butcher who likes to beat and curse people when he's drunk, and he's even more ruthless towards women! He's forty years old and still hasn't gotten married, haha!" Ji Wushang slowly revealed his words...
Hongfei and Cuiwu nodded and immediately went to do it.
The night was a bit chilly.
Ji Wushang stood in front of the gate, looking in the direction of the courtyard gate.
"Miss, why don't we go inside and wait?" Xian'er said as she brought in the soup.
“He said he’d be back soon, so I’ll wait,” Ji Wushang said. “Put it in.”
"Yes," Xian'er nodded.
Just then, Nan Xuzong finally stepped into Moxuan Garden. When he saw Ji Wushang leaning against the door, staring at him intently, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He quickly stepped forward and called out, "Wushang."
"I'm waiting for you," she said softly.
"I know." Nan Xuzong hugged her. "It's cold outside. You can wait for me inside from now on."
“No, I like watching you walk into this Moxuan Garden.” Ji Wushang looked up at him. “Something has happened at the manor.”
“I know,” he smiled.
...
Feeling somewhat exhausted, Nan Zhaoxue emerged from the study of the Prince of Jinnan and hurried towards Lanruo Garden.
Upon entering Lanruo Garden and seeing Leng Ruolan sleeping peacefully in bed, he felt relieved. After giving instructions to his maid Dingxiang, he went to the outer room to have his meal.
It's finally done! The Prince of Jinnan agreed to her request, saying he would go to General Ma's mansion the next day to inquire whether she could marry him to the Second Young General Ma. As long as he agreed, her matter would be settled. As long as she served the Second Young General Ma well, she would have plenty of good food and drink in the future.
As for the others, I don't care!
After midnight, Nan Zhaoxue couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep on Leng Ruolan's body.
The wind was blowing gently.
In the darkness, someone sneaked into the house, pressed Nan Zhaoxue's pressure point to put her to sleep, and immediately put her on the ground.
Leng Ruolan immediately opened her eyes, about to scream for help, but at that moment, someone silenced her by striking her pressure point! Then she was knocked unconscious!
Suddenly, several more men in black jumped in. Two of them quickly helped Nan Zhaoxue onto the bed, covered her with a brocade quilt, and arranged her so that she was facing the wall sideways, so that if anyone came in, they wouldn't be able to tell whether the person inside was Leng Ruolan or Nan Zhaoxue! Moreover, Nan Zhaoxue happened to bear a slight resemblance to Leng Ruolan!
After the men in black finished, they immediately retreated and remained in the darkness inside the house.
Meanwhile, another man in black carried Leng Ruolan directly into the secret room. After hurriedly walking through several passages, they entered a prison cell.
Ji Wushang was already waiting there, and behind her, naturally, was the peerless man who stood guard beside her.
"Put her in there, and make sure she cooperates!" Ji Wushang didn't mind using the same methods he used on Aunt Bai on her! But this time, it wasn't a trial in the underworld, but rather Jin Ruirui returning to claim his life!
Ji Wushang smiled slightly, and Nan Xuzong stepped forward from behind him, "Are you tired? Let's go sit down and watch the show. They are all trained by me, and I'm sure they will achieve the best results."
“Alright.” Ji Wushang smiled at him. “Let ‘Consort Jin’ decide whether to keep or not to keep the Cold Princess’s child.”
"Naughty." Nan Xuzong chuckled and flicked her nose. "Come here!" He then scooped her up in his arms and carried her behind the curtain.
☆、256 Doing good or evil will be punished a thousandfold!
Leng Ruolan didn't know how she woke up; it seemed she had been struck by a sharp pain.
She opened her eyes and immediately looked around. When she saw that she was in a cage, she panicked, wondering who had captured her and brought her here.
"I knew you weren't crazy, you were just faking it! Sure enough, Leng Ruolan, your acting skills are getting better and better!" At this moment, a clear and cold voice drifted in from outside.
Leng Ruolan's face turned deathly pale, and she backed away. "You, who are you?!" The feeling of being exposed was terrifying, especially in this situation!
The person opened the cell door and then floated in!
Leng Ruolan was terrified and tried to grab something to protect herself, but where could she find anything? At that moment, she saw that the person who had come was dressed entirely in white, and under the long robe, there was no pair of feet!
"Who do you think I am? Hahaha!" The newcomer laughed wildly. "Thanks to you, my corpse was chopped into mincemeat by the prince. Tell me, who am I? Are you still going to pretend?"
"Ah, you, you're Jin Ruirui!" Leng Ruolan fell to the ground, staring at the person in front of her. "You, the person who killed you wasn't me, it was the Prince, it was him! Go find him yourself, don't come looking for me!"
Damn it, I knew all along that suicide attempt she mentioned was fake, but it really scared me half to death! After hearing the whole story, I realized I'd been tricked. I knew someone was behind it all, but before I could find out who it was, this happened! I thought I could just pretend and it would all be over, but it's infuriating that they could see right through my act!
So, this one is probably just pretending to scare themselves to death, right?
But Jin Ruirui drifted in... Only ghosts do that!
Leng Ruolan tried to stay calm and discern the truth from falsehood, but before she could, Jin Ruirui floated forward. "You think I'm fake? Fine, very well!" Jin Ruirui said three times, each word more terrifying than the last.
"I...I didn't!" Leng Ruolan stared at the person in front of her, her face deathly pale. At this moment, Jin Ruirui stepped forward and grasped her wrist with her icy hand! The coldness made Leng Ruolan shiver!
"I'm going to kill you and make you pay with your life!" Jin Ruirui said hatefully, suddenly baring her white teeth at Leng Ruolan. Those teeth immediately grew larger and larger, turning into sharp, ghostly fangs! As she spoke, she bit down on Leng Ruolan's neck!
Leng Ruolan was terrified. What she saw was Jin Ruirui's gleaming white teeth, bloodshot red eyes, and icy hands gripping her tightly. How could Leng Ruolan not be scared to death!
"Ah!" Leng Ruolan was completely terrified by her actions and immediately pinched Jin Ruirui hard with both hands. "I, I'll kill you, kill you!"
"I'm already dead, how could you kill me!" Jin Ruirui said in a sinister tone, the blood in her eyes flowing down Leng Ruolan's chest, staining her clothes.
"Ah, no!" Upon hearing these words, Leng Ruolan's consciousness began to crumble! She desperately tried to grab Jin Ruirui's neck and pull her away, but Jin Ruirui just kept coming closer! When Leng Ruolan touched her neck, it was ice cold!
When Jin Ruirui licked Leng Ruolan's neck with her long, blood-red tongue, Leng Ruolan completely broke down. She screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted!
Jin Ruirui shook her head, then looked at it closely, shrugged, and said, "It's no fun anymore, that's all!" Then, she said to the person above, "You can put me down now!"
The people above cooperated to lower "Jin Ruirui" down.
Jin Ruirui removed all the things she was carrying. "My lord, Fourth Princess Consort, the matter is over!"
Ji Wushang and Nan Xuzong emerged from behind the curtain. Ji Wushang walked expressionlessly to Leng Ruolan, checked her breath, and said, "Drag her to the back garden. Nan Xianxian's people will definitely pass through the back garden when they leave Lanruo Garden. Then, hehe!" Ji Wushang sneered.
Nan Xuzong gave a signal, and immediately some men in black did as Ji Wushang said.
"Jin Ruirui" stepped forward and said, "I am Tie Feng and Tie Yi's younger sister, Tie Huafei!" She then bowed to Ji Wushang and Nan Xuzong, "Greetings, Fourth Prince and Fourth Imperial Consort!"
Ji Wushang glanced at Nan Xuzong. Originally, Tie Huafei lived in the countryside. Was it he who asked Tie Feng to bring Tie Huafei into the manor?
Nan Xuzong smiled and embraced Ji Wushang, "General Ma should be very satisfied with a woman with this kind of personality."
Ji Wushang nodded, then turned to look at Tie Huafei, "You did very well today. You'll work by my side, and I won't treat you unfairly!"
"Yes, thank you, Fourth Princess!" Tie Huafei immediately cupped her hands in thanks, then looked up and smiled, revealing a row of small white teeth.
Shortly after Leng Ruolan was carried away from Lanruo Garden, someone blew a sleeping incense into the house. Three or five people immediately went into the inner room, and upon seeing the sleeping woman inside, they exchanged glances.
One person took out a packet of medicine, poured it into the tea, stirred it a few times, and then walked towards the person on the bed.
Several people immediately positioned the sleeping person.
Under the cover of darkness, without any lights on, it was impossible to see what the person looked like. Moreover, the orders given to these men were directed at the woman lying on the bed, without them having taken the time to check whether she was pregnant or not!
The men in black on both sides captured Nan Zhaoxue. The man in black who was holding the tea immediately stepped forward, grabbed her chin, and poured the tea down her throat.
After watching the three finish their tea, they immediately arranged the teapot and teacups into a strange pattern before leaving satisfied.
Nan Zhaoxue remained in that darkness, and after being forced to drink the tea, she felt as if her heart was being torn apart...
The three of them left Lanruo Garden without stopping. They walked in a hurry, but unexpectedly, when they passed the back garden, they saw a person lying on the road!
The three men's eyes flashed with malice as they immediately drew their curved knives and walked toward the person lying on the ground. However, to their surprise, the person on the ground did not move.
