Nian Ruting's Confession (Second Update)

The martial arts finals are over, and formal awards will not be given until the top three in the civil examination are selected.

Muya invited Su Liang to go drinking with him, but Su Liang declined, and she did not force him.

Duanmu Yi called Su Liang over, praised him in public, and then everyone in the royal family left.

Lin Wei walked with Duanmu Che and looked at where Su Liang was for several times, but they didn't attract Su Liang's attention.

After that, the people dispersed, and Su Liang talked to Mr. Qin and Mrs. Xing for a while before walking towards her friends who were waiting for her.

Zheng'er, who was riding on Lu Yu's neck, waved her little hand, "Aunt! Aunt!"

Su Liang raised her chin slightly, smiled and asked arrogantly, "Who is the most powerful?"

Zheng'er's voice was loud, "My aunt!"

Qin Yujin and Lin Xueqing grabbed Su Liang from left to right, each of them was happier than her, and they couldn't stop praising her.

Lin Shuzhi and his two sons looked at Su Liang with smiles on their faces.

Lin Bojun, who just returned to Beijing yesterday, gave a thumbs up, "Xiao Liang is really good!"

Wan Hui said with a smile, "Let's go celebrate Sister Liang together!"

As a group of people walked towards the entrance of the competition venue, Lin Bojun looked at Qin Yujin from time to time.

But Qin Yujin's attention was focused on Su Liang today, and the two of them had not yet had a chance to speak.

Lin Xueqing mentioned Nian Ruxue, who asked her sister to be her substitute, "All the agencies have failed! The whole family has been harmed!"

Qin Yujin sighed, "Maybe this was not Nian Ruxue's own idea." It was the conspiracy of Nian's family.

Lin Bojun said seriously, "Others in the Nian family dare not say it, but General Nian was definitely not involved. After he saw Nian Ruxue's true face, he stopped protecting her."

Otherwise, Nian Jincheng would definitely plead for Nian Ruxue and Nian's family.

Lin Xueqing didn't expect that her second brother would actually speak for her "love rival".

As a result, Qin Yujin added, "If you do something wrong, you will be held responsible. There are laws to punish the emperor's decision. The Nian family's affairs have nothing to do with us."

After today, Qin Yujin hated the Nian family even more. Her illusory love for Nian Jincheng had long since dissipated.

Su Liang felt that no matter what happened to Nian's family in the end, Nian Jincheng could survive with his strength and still have a chance to start over.

At the restaurant, everyone toasted to celebrate Su Liang's victory in martial arts, bringing glory to the country and defeating the enemy's female general.

Zheng'er tried his best to lift his small teacup, clinked it with Su Liang, and said with a serious face, "When I grow up, I will also win the top prize!"

Everyone laughed.

Lin Shuzhi had nothing to do after arriving in the capital. Seeing that Zheng'er was smart and fond of him, he offered to enlighten him and teach him to read.

Wan Hui and Lu Yu were overjoyed and expressed a hundred yeses.

Halfway through the banquet here, Qi Yan brought a piece of news. He had searched Nian’s house inside and outside, but there was no sign of Nian Ruxue!

"She is the mastermind, and she ran away?" It’s clear. The substitute, Nian Ruting, cannot bear this serious crime.”

Nian Ruting wanted to take the responsibility, but the reasons she gave were simply untenable.

There are only two possibilities for this matter.

One is that Nian's family conspired to let Nian Ruting take part in martial arts to seek fame instead of Nian Ruxue.

The other is that no one else in the Nian family knows that Nian Ruxue secretly arranged for Nian Ruting to be a substitute.

If it was the former, Nian's family would be dead, and his life would not even be saved.

If it's the latter, at least Nian's family has a chance to save their lives.

But Nian Ruxue escaped, and she did not plead guilty. It was difficult for Nian's family to clear out the long mouths all over their body.

Lin Xueqing sighed, "That Nian Ruting is so stupid. She is willing to do anything for Nian Ruxue. In the end, she is still protecting Nian Ruxue. But Nian Ruxue is simply a selfish and shameless person."

Lin Bojun shook his head, "From the fact that Nian Ruting seriously injured Mr. Gao in the challenge, we can see that she is not a kind person."

Soon they learned that the royal family had sent elite soldiers to search and arrest Nian Ruxue.

…

In the afternoon, Su Liang followed Qin Yujin to Qin's house, while Ningjing went to the Fifth Prince's Mansion alone to give Duanmu Che acupuncture.

On the way, Su Liang smiled and said, "You don't miss Nian Jincheng at all?"

Qin Yujin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "No. What General Lin said may be true, but I don't care anymore."

"Then, do you want to consider Brother Lin?" Su Liang asked half-jokingly, "He has been looking at you!"

"Ah?" Qin Yujin looked surprised, "Lin...General Lin? Follow me? We..." Her voice weakened, and two red clouds flew over her cheeks, "Are we suitable?"

"It depends on how you feel." Su Liang said with a smile, "He must like you, there is no doubt about it."

Qin Yujin was stunned for a long time, then she hit Su Liang with her pink fist and said, "You sister Liang, are you here as a lobbyist?"

Su Liang nodded solemnly, "Indeed, Brother Lin asked me for help years ago, but he never had the chance before. I am a lobbyist, and I want to be a matchmaker. Let's see if you give me a chance."

Qin Yujin gave Su Liang an angry look, "You are not on my side. I'm going to be sad."

The corners of Su Liang's lips curled up slightly, "Is that so? Then, I'll propose marriage to Brother Lin for you. I'm on your side!"

Qin Yujin pinched Su Liang's cheek and said, "I won't give you this chance!" After saying this, his face turned even redder.

Su Liang smiled brightly, "It's fate, it's not important whether I am a matchmaker or not."

…

Su Liang left Qin Mansion and when he returned home, Ning Jing had already returned.

He handed Su Liang an exquisite and gorgeous invitation card, which was sent by the palace, inviting Su Liang to attend the banquet tonight to welcome the envoys of Yan State.

"Only invite me?" Su Liang looked at the name on it, and quickly reacted, "Tomorrow's palace examination, you are not the champion yet. Can I not go?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "No." Unless they plan to give up everything and leave the capital, but it is not worth it.

"Well then." Su Liang looked helpless, "It's a pity that Mu Ya invited Nian Ruting to dance with swords, so I can't see it. Where do you think Nian Ruxue will escape to?"

"I don't know." Ning Jing shook his head.

"Forget it." Su Liang temporarily put Nian Ruxue behind her, found a few skirts, and asked Ning Jing which one she would wear to the banquet tonight.

Since she had to socialize, she didn't want to look out of place.

Ning Jing pointed to a simple and generous one, which Su Liang also thought was good. After bathing and changing clothes, the sun had set, and it was almost time to enter the palace.

"Let's go." Ning Jing held a straw hat and Su Liang's medicine box in his hand.

Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "You're going to be my coachman? My salary is too high."

"It's not like I haven't been one before." Ning Jing said and walked out.

Su Liang caught up with him with a smile, "Next time it's my turn." The long skirt she was wearing was not convenient for riding a horse.

Su Liang got in the car, and Ning Jing handed in the medicine box, "Take it with you."

He put on a straw hat, covering most of his face, and drove away from home, heading towards the palace.

There was no trouble on the way. When he arrived at the square outside the palace, other royal nobles who were attending the banquet also arrived one after another.

Su Liang got out of the car with the medicine box and asked Ning Jing to go back first, not to wait for her, "I don't know how long it will take, I'll go back by myself after it's over."

"Okay." Ning Jing responded and drove the carriage away.

This was Su Liang's first time to the Qian Kingdom Palace.

Under the night, the towering palace walls were dark, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

The palace maid who welcomed Su Liang in lowered her head to a fixed angle, and her lips barely moved when she spoke. Her face seemed to be painted with white paint, with a pale complexion and a frozen expression.

There was depression everywhere.

Su Liang heard someone calling her, and turned around to see Xing Ji and Xing Yusheng, father and son, striding towards her.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and felt much better when she saw someone she knew.

"Marquis." Su Liang saluted Xing Ji.

Xing Ji nodded slightly, "You fought very well in the competition today."

Su Liang was traveling with Xing's father and son, and Xing Yusheng was also visiting the palace for the first time, and didn't know where to go.

Xing Ji would briefly introduce to them what the places they passed by were used for.

...

In the magnificent palace, refreshing incense was burning, and each palace maid had delicate makeup and light steps.

Su Liang didn't see the seat given to her, so she sat in the seat of the Marquis of Zhongxin's mansion.

The princes and princesses had all arrived, and Duanmu Ao appeared with his pregnant second prince's wife as if nothing had happened.

Duanmu Chen was not far from the Marquis Zhongxin's mansion, and smiled gently at Su Liang.

Duanmu Che came, and Lin Qi followed him, and his eyes lit up when he saw Su Liang.

The sixth princess Duanmu Qianqian was a little depressed, not knowing whether it was because her best friend was in trouble, or because her favorite Nian Jincheng was in trouble.

When Mu Ya appeared, she brought a fragrant breeze and came straight to Su Liang.

After Su Liang exchanged a few polite words with her, Mu Ya sat opposite Duanmu Sheng.

Just waiting for Duanmu Yi to come.

After waiting for a long time, Su Liang drank two cups of tea and a plate of two fruits. After eating, she waited for the dishes to be served.

Duanmu Chen took the opportunity to pass the fruit in front of him to Su Liang and whispered, "Nian Jincheng can't turn things around this time. Nian Ruting confessed that Nian Jincheng said in person that he had contact with Gu Ling when he went to Beijing on business a few years ago, and he knew where Gu Ling was hiding now."
