Chapter 240 Never Marry

Ling Chu didn't expect that Ning Chuyi would let people protect him secretly, "Your Majesty, you are interested, but I have the means to protect myself. You should let them go back."

The two secret guards felt that there was no use in staying, and Miss Ling did not need their protection at all.

Just when they thought Ning Chuyi would take them away, they heard him say to Ling Chu, "It doesn't matter, you haven't hired any guards yet. They are idle anyway, so why not let them stay first?" I'll be your guard."

Ling Chu hesitated for a moment and then agreed, "Then I won't be polite to you."

She really wanted to hire some guards, but it was hard to find someone with good martial arts skills and loyalty.

Ning Chuyi signaled Wei Feng to send the flower picker to Dali Temple, and also told him, "Miss Ling captured Xia Liu, remember to take the silver reward and send it to her."

In order to catch the flower picker, the government offered a reward of fifteen thousand taels.

Originally, the reward offered by the government was not that much.

After the girls who were defiled by Xia Liu committed suicide, their families personally took the money to Dali Temple to ask for an increase in the amount of the reward in order to catch the flower picker as soon as possible.

After hearing what Ning Chuyi said, Xia Liu was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood.

When he came here this time, he failed to pick any flowers, was beaten half to death, and was even deprived of his descendants.

What made him even more angry was that this was equivalent to him personally holding sixteen thousand taels and throwing himself into a trap in front of Miss Ling.

Xia Liu was so angry that he couldn't help but suspect that the person who bribed him had a grudge not with Miss Ling, but with him!

Wei Feng glanced at him sympathetically, raised his knife and struck him unconscious.

After carrying it, he went to Dali Temple to exchange for silver.

Ning Chuyi also left with Yin Sha.

The two guards were left looking at each other helplessly. Thinking of the hammer that had just hit the flower picker, they felt cold again.

Miss Ling is a cruel person, they must be careful not to offend her in the future.

After everyone left, Ling Chu asked Mother Gong to take two guards to settle in the front yard, and then ordered the others to continue patrolling the night.

After everything was arranged, she went back to rest.

The next day, in the palace.

After the eunuch in charge announced his withdrawal from the court, the officials from the lower court walked out in twos and threes.

The second prince walked a few steps outside, suddenly stopped sideways, and said to the official walking aside, "Mr. Zhao, I heard that the eldest son of your family plans to take the eldest daughter of the former Minister of Household Affairs as his concubine. Is this possible? "

Zhao Guogong didn't know why the second prince suddenly mentioned this matter in front of so many people, and saw everyone looking at him curiously.

He could only vaguely say, "Well, Mrs. Dong did a favor to my wife a few years ago. She came to the door a few days ago and said that she couldn't bear the hardship of her eldest daughter following them, and begged my wife to accept her for Quanzi. .

My wife was soft-hearted, and seeing her crying so sadly, she couldn’t refuse. "

The second prince nodded, "I see, but...I heard that Miss Ling has been fostered in a Taoist temple since she was a child, so she has no rules and etiquette at all, and she often contradicts her parents and family members in the house.

Because she refused to obey the discipline, she even set up a female household and moved to Qintai Street with her maid and mother-in-law. "

Seeing Zhao Guogong's ugly face, the second prince felt satisfied and followed up, "I also heard from the purchasing manager in the mansion that there were rumors on the street that someone saw a man entering Miss Ling's house last night.

And according to people who saw it, the man looked very similar to Xia Liu who was on the arrest warrant posted by the government. "

As soon as the second prince finished speaking, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Duke Zhao.

Because Xia Liu's name is really special, many people still remember him as the flower picker.

"Mr. Zhao Guo, although your wife can't say no to Mrs. Dong, this matter... if you force the prince to accept Miss Ling, aren't you afraid of him making trouble?"

Zhao Guogong's face was gloomy, and he kept thinking in his mind. The second prince deliberately humiliated him in front of so many people. Could it be that he had done something recently to make him unhappy, so he beat him in public?

Ning Chuyi was walking behind, listening to the whispers of others, and said expressionlessly, "Second Prince, it seems that the steward in your house needs to be investigated carefully."

The second prince's face turned cold, "What do you mean, Master Ning?"

"As far as I know, before Xia Liu climbed up the outer wall of Miss Ling's house, she was beaten to death by the guards and maids in her house, and was sent to Dali Temple overnight.

Now, I'm afraid I'll even get the silver reward.

If the second prince doesn't believe it, he can send someone to see if Xia Liu is in the prison of Dali Temple. "

Unexpectedly, the second prince would know about what happened just last night so quickly.

The screams of the flower picker last night were so loud that many people on Qintai Street must have been guessing what happened to Miss Ling's house. Instead of letting everyone make random guesses, it would be better to directly reveal the truth of the matter.

Seeing the second prince's face turned black, Ning Chuyi kindly added, "There are many people who know about this matter. The person in charge of purchasing in your house actually dared to blatantly misrepresent the facts to you. It seems that there is nothing wrong with the usual deception." Do less.

The Second Prince should investigate this kind of slave and bully his master. "

"Thank you, Lord Ning, for reminding me." The second prince pretended to be grateful and thanked him.

Then he said with a playful expression, "I didn't expect Master Ning to know so clearly about Miss Ling. It seems that he pays a lot of attention to her."

"Master Ning, I heard that Miss Ling is pretty. Could it be that... you have a crush on her?"

"Mr. Ning, you are eighty-eight years old this year. People of your age have already started a family and have several children.

At your age, if you delay any longer, Duke Ning and his wife will be really worried. "

At the corner behind, the emperor was listening quietly with his hands behind his back.

As soon as the second prince finished speaking, before Ning Chuyi could speak, the emperor immediately turned his head and winked at the chief eunuch who was following behind.

The chief eunuch bowed and nodded, flicked the whisk in his hand, and walked out of the corner quickly.

Seeing that those officials turned around and looked at him anxiously, the chief eunuch turned a blind eye to them all.

He walked to Ning Chuyi respectfully, bowed his hands and saluted, and then said, "Sir Ning, the emperor summoned you, please follow me. "

Ning Chuyi frowned slightly, and seeing that everyone was looking at him curiously, he could only walk back.

The second prince looked at his back with a heavy gaze, clenched his fists for a moment, and then quickly loosened them.

He said that deliberately just now, in order to let the emperor hear it.

Isn't the father looking forward to the bastard getting married? It would be best to give Ling Chu to him.

In this way, the bastard can't think of marrying a helpful wife.

If he robbed the concubine of the prince of Zhao, he would definitely offend the mansion of Zhao.

This is equivalent to ending the alliance between the mansion of Ningguo and the mansion of Zhao.

Imperial study.

The emperor looked at Ning Chuyi, who was standing in front of him neither humble nor arrogant, and felt unspeakable in his heart.

After asking a few questions about the Jinyiwei, the emperor pretended to say casually, "You like Ling Mao's eldest granddaughter, do you need me to help you get married? "

Ning Chuyi had a blank expression on his face, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I don't have a favorite girl. I've said... I'll never marry."
