Chapter 39 First Come First Served

"I was a little weak just now, but I'm feeling better now. Master Ning has thought carefully and prepared a carriage. It's okay to wait till Prince Jing's Mansion."

Ning Chuyi saw that her face was not red, she was lying with her eyes open and she was not out of breath. She was not as weak as before, and she was pretending to be pretty good.

Although he knew she was faking it, he didn't expose it, lest he become angry and throw away her hands. Where could he find someone who knew how to deal with puppet souls to help Prince Jing.

"Without further ado, please invite the girl to get on the carriage."

Ling Chu did not refuse, nodded and got into the carriage.

The group set off and rushed to Prince Jing's Mansion.

…

"Miss Ling, since you are in poor health, why don't you rest in the house and go to help people like Lu Maoye and Hu Batian collect debts?" Wei Feng followed on horseback, looking for words.

Ling Chu was lifting the car curtain and looking at the shops on both sides of the street. Hearing Wei Feng's words, he glanced sideways at him, "Why else, of course it's to make money! All my family's property was confiscated by your family, and even I don’t have a single coin left. If I don’t think of a way to make money, I’m going to drink the northwest wind.”

Wei Feng glanced at her speechlessly, "Miss Ling, have you forgotten that your home was ransacked by yourself?"

She is not old enough to remember what happened a few days ago, so there is no need to remind her of what she copied from her family.

Ling Chu rolled his eyes at him, "Your family came to the door with their royal guards. If I don't confiscate my house, will your family let us go?"

Wei Feng choked, indeed not.

If Miss Ling hadn't actively cooperated with them in raiding her house, more than a hundred lives would have been lost in the Shangshu Mansion, and the grass on the graves would have been several feet high.

It was hard to mention this again, so Wei Feng had no choice but to shut up angrily.

But he secretly thought that it was not easy for Miss Ling. She had been fostered by her family in a Taoist temple since she was a child. Unexpectedly, something happened to her family just after she returned home.

Now there are dozens of people in the family, and they still have to rely on her, a weak woman, to find ways to make money.

Ning Chuyi rode silently and walked aside without any rebuttal. After all, it was indeed his home that he led people to ransack.

The driver driving Ling Chu's carriage was the coachman from Prince Jing's Mansion. He drove the carriage very quickly, and after a cup of tea, it had already arrived in front of the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion.

The chief manager of Prince Jing's Mansion quickly came out from the door and said, "Master Ning, have you invited the real person?"

Ning Chuyi nodded, without saying anything more, turned around and handed the reins to the boy.

The chief steward knew that this man didn't talk much, so he didn't mind. He turned to the carriage expectantly.

When Ling Chu saw that the carriage had stopped, he lifted the curtain and stepped onto the carriage.

The chief manager had a look of astonishment on his face. Could it be that he was still in his dream and hadn't woken up?

Why is this real person a young girl?

Ling Chu's eyes swept across his face and he was silent. There was no surprise at all.

Usually people who meet her for the first time have this expression, and she is used to it.

Ning Chuyi knew that the chief manager was surprised, but he didn't say anything more. He just said quietly to Ling Chu, "Let's go."

When the chief manager saw that the two of them had already climbed up the steps in front of the door, he came to his senses and quickly walked a few steps to lead the way.

The chief manager, full of doubts, brought Ning Chuyi and Ling Chu to the main hall of Prince Jing's mansion.

The man and woman sitting at the top are very noble, they must be Prince Jing and Princess Jing.

When the two of them saw Ling Chu, their faces were slightly surprised.

Although they had heard Ning Chuyi mention this Miss Ling before, they didn't expect that she was so young.

Although the couple had some doubts about Ling Chu's ability, considering Ning Chuyi's character, they couldn't question it. But I heard that Miss Ling was taught by Master Xuan Yi. Maybe she has some skills?

Forget it, everyone has been invited, it’s not good to just let her go back, let’s let her try.

To Lingchu's surprise, there was a Taoist priest sitting in the main hall.

Ning Chuyi frowned slightly when he saw the Taoist priest, but he didn't say much. He just said hello to Prince Jing and Princess Jin and stood aside silently.

The Taoist Priest in Qingyi heard the movement and looked back. His eyes swept across Ling Chu's face. When he saw Ning Chuyi, he paused slightly and then looked away.

"Your Majesty, Princess, I wonder why you two have invited me here?"

"I invite you two to come here. I want you to help Quanzi see if there is anything wrong with him."

Prince Jing has a gentle attitude, but after all, he has a noble status and has the aura of someone who has been in power for a long time.

Princess Jin has a graceful temperament and is a rare beauty. However, her brows are slightly furrowed, she must be worried about Prince Jing.

The Taoist priest in Qingyi was Taoist priest Qingyang from Chongxuguan. When he heard Prince Jing talking about the two of them, he didn't think much about it and just thought it meant him and Commander Ning.

"Oh, I don't know Prince Jing..."

Qingyang originally wanted to ask Prince Jing if the crown prince had an evil influence, but considering that he had a noble status, he was afraid that if he asked this question, Prince Jing and his wife would be dissatisfied.

"I can't say exactly what the dog is like, so I'd better ask you two to go over and have a look."

Taoist Master Qingyang did not refuse and nodded in agreement, "That's fine."

Prince Jing and Princess stood up at the same time and walked to Ning Chuyi.

"Master Ning, Miss Ling, please."

Taoist Priest Qingyang felt a little unhappy when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that Prince Jing and his wife sent someone to invite him over, but they queued him at the back.

Commander Ning was nothing more than that. Although he was only a third-grade Commander of the Jinyi Guards, there were rumors that he was the illegitimate son of the emperor who lived abroad before he ascended the throne.

Although it is unknown whether this rumor is true or not, putting this aside, he is still the eldest grandson of the old Duke of Ning and the eldest son of the current Duke of Ning.

Even though he was in Chongxu Temple, he knew that the emperor really valued this Lord Ning. It is said that all the impeachment memorials against him in the court, no matter what they were, were suppressed by the emperor.

Regardless of his identity, this Lord Ning was not someone he could offend casually. It is understandable that Prince Jing and his wife regarded him as more important than him.

But he was very dissatisfied that Miss Ling was also ranked before him.

Judging from her clothes, she is just a girl from an ordinary family. Maybe Prince Jing and his wife saw that she came with Lord Ning, so they didn't want to be rude?

Ling Chu was a little surprised when she saw Prince Jing and his wife came to invite her first, but she didn't leave first. Instead, she smiled at Prince Jing and his wife, then stepped aside to make way, indicating that the Taoist priest in green should go first.

She did this not to please the Taoist priest in green, but because she thought that although she was invited by Ning Chuyi, she still had to follow the principle of first come first served.

Taoist priest Qingyang was stunned for a moment, but did not delay. He naturally walked past her and went to Prince Jing.

Ning Chuyi saw Ling Chu's actions, but seeing that her face was calm, he did not say much.

Turned around and walked towards the courtyard of Prince Jing's son with Prince Jing and the princess.

Taoist priest Qingyang immediately followed.

Ling Chu had no dissatisfaction with this, and followed slowly behind.

If she guessed correctly, Prince Jing might have encountered a big trouble, and the Taoist priest in green was just in front of him.
