Chapter 188 The Meaning of Giving a Jade Pendant
Wei Feng looked suspicious, "No way, why would someone from Dingyuan Palace rob?"
Ning Chuyi was also puzzled. He had previously thought that the second prince had sent someone to kill again.
"What happened? Why would someone from Dingyuan Palace rob?"
Wei Feng's face was full of curiosity, "Miss Ling, you are so poor that you have to make money by setting up a stall to tell fortunes. Is King Dingyuan crazy? What would he let people rob?"
"It's not King Dingyuan, it's the eldest lady of Dingyuan Palace, Princess Wen'an."
"Princess Wen'an? What on you is worth her robbing?" Wei Feng couldn't help his curiosity. Miss Ling was so poor that she was almost begging for food. Why would Princess Wen'an let people rob her?
Seeing that Ning Chuyi and Wei Feng were looking at her curiously, Ling Chu did not hide it, "I just gambled with Princess Wen'an in Cuiyu Pavilion and won a pair of bracelets from her. She asked the guards to come and snatch the bracelets and my jadeite away."
"Normally, there are all kinds of good things in Dingyuan Palace. What kind of bracelets are worth Princess Wen'an sending people to snatch back regardless of her face?"
"I heard that it was a gift from the Imperial Concubine."
It turned out that it was a bracelet given by the Imperial Concubine, no wonder Princess Wen'an wanted to snatch it back.
Ning Chuyi glanced at the masked man standing trembling beside him, and turned back to ask Ling Chu, "Do you need me to help you deal with it?"
Ling Chu was not polite to him, "Please send someone to throw them back to Dingyuan Palace."
Han Cun's face turned pale. Although he was not killed, the King of Dingyuan would definitely punish him severely when he returned.
If it was just Miss Ling, he might still fight, but with Lord Ning here, he had no chance of winning.
Ning Chuyi waved to Wei Feng, signaling him to send the masked man and the body to Dingyuan Palace.
Ling Chu glanced at the masked man, and to prevent him from escaping, he simply waved his hand, rushed over with a small hammer, and knocked him unconscious.
Wei Feng twitched his mouth, walked over, put the man and the body on the horse, and sent them to Dingyuan Palace.
Although Ling Chu did not kill the man, she asked Wei Feng to send him and the body back to Dingyuan Palace, and the news would definitely spread.
Han Yao bet with the bracelet given by the imperial concubine, and after losing, she asked the guards to rob. If this matter spreads, she will definitely not end up well.
"Sir Ning, will you get into trouble if you kill the guard of Prince Dingyuan's mansion?"
"Don't worry, the people of Prince Dingyuan's mansion robbed in broad daylight and wanted to kill people. I killed him, and Prince Dingyuan dared not have any objections."
"That's good."
Ning Chuyi didn't take it to heart at all, and glanced at the sky, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Ling Chu didn't dare to let the commander take her, and shook her head hurriedly, "Sir, you can go first if you have something to do, just leave me a guard."
"I went out today and didn't bring a guard."
Ling Chu was dumbfounded, Xia Zhi had been knocked unconscious, and neither she nor Liu Xiangju could drive a carriage.
"Then... can you trouble the lord to help me hire a driver at the carriage shop?"
Ning Chuyi lowered his eyes and glanced at her, without saying a word, and walked towards the carriage directly.
Ling Chu sighed and could only bite the bullet and follow.
It seems that she still has to find a guard who can drive a carriage in the future, otherwise if she encounters this situation again, she is afraid that she will have to walk back.
After Ling Chu got on the carriage, Ning Chuyi was about to drive when her hand accidentally touched the jade pendant on her waist.
She looked down and simply pulled it off and handed it to Ling Chu.
Ling Chu looked at the jade pendant in front of him, confused. After hesitating for a while, he said uncertainly, "Is this... for me?"
"As the saying goes, nine out of ten gambling loses. The chance of cutting jadeite by gambling on stones is very small."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I can't accept this jade pendant without merit." Not to mention that she can scan out jadeite with the system, even if there is no plug-in, she can't accept this jade pendant.
Ning Chuyi frowned, "Take it, I still have a lot of this thing. It's useless to me, so it's better to give it to someone who needs it."
Ling Chu frowned as well. Could this man not know the meaning of a man giving a girl a jade pendant?
She raised her eyes and saw a frank look in the other person's eyes.
Well, she guessed it right.
"Sir, do you know what it means when a man gives a jade pendant to a girl?"
Ning Chuyi was stunned. Is there any meaning in giving a jade pendant?
Subconsciously, he searched his mind and found that he had never paid attention to this aspect of etiquette.
But he already had a bad feeling in his heart.
Ling Chuyi knew from his expression that he didn't know the meaning.
"Jade pendants are generally used as tokens of love between men and women."
Ning Chuyi's hand holding the jade pendant suddenly tightened, and he pursed his lips, "Sorry, I'm abrupt."
He just thought that she went to gamble on stones, and must have urgent needs, so he gave her the jade pendant.
In his eyes, those jade pendants were just insignificant decorations. The man gave him dozens of jade pendants like this in the past few years, and he piled them all in the warehouse.
Instead of letting them gather dust, it is better to give them to her, so that they can still be of some use.
He didn't even know that men can't give jade pendants to girls casually.
Ling Chu shook his head, "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it."
Ning Chuyi glanced at her and said nothing more. He put the jade pendant back into his sleeve pocket, pulled the reins and started driving.
After sending Ling Chu to the gate of Ling Mansion, Ning Chuyi turned around and rode away.
Ling Chu didn't even have time to thank him.
After sending Xia Zhi back to the yard with Liu Xiangju, Ling Chu went to the main hall.
At this time, everyone in Ling Mansion was preparing for dinner.
This was the first time Ling Chu met everyone since he woke up from his coma.
After the maid served tea, Ling Chu took a sip and said directly to Mrs. Dong, "Mother, I want to break off the engagement..."
Mrs. Dong put the teacup on the table with a bang and shouted angrily, "Nonsense, is marriage a trivial matter? I don't want to hear you mention this matter again in the future."
The madam also frowned, "Sister Chu, your mother is right. Marriage is an important matter ordered by the parents and the matchmaker. You can't just back out if you want."
"Sister Chu, don't be impulsive. Now that my father has lost his official status, if he withdraws from the marriage in Duke Zhao's Mansion, he will never find such a good family again. You can only marry into an ordinary family like ours."
Ling Chu glanced at everyone's faces one by one, "I'm not fooling around. This matter was a decision made after careful consideration. As I said last time, the master gave me a destiny, and my destiny is not suitable. Get married, otherwise your life will be in danger.
My health has been good since I returned to Beijing, but last time when the grandma from Zhao Guogong's mansion came to mention the marriage, I fell into a coma and almost died.
I don't plan to get married in the future, so you don't have to worry about me finding a good family in the future. "
Hearing her mention the last time she was in a coma, everyone looked unhappy.
The madam wanted to say that the order was incorrect, but she could not find a reason to explain why she was in coma last time.
Mrs. Dong said with a cold face, "You don't have to worry about this. I will go to the Taoist priest of Chongxuguan to help you solve the fate issue another day. In short, you are not allowed to mention the issue of breaking off the engagement again."
