Chapter 296 Angry

Ning Chen looked at Li Zhixing and asked with a smile: "So, Lord Li has chosen to stand on my side?"

Li Zhixing looked resentful, "Do I have any choice?"

After serving as an official for twenty years, Li Zhixing is naturally not a fool.

Although he said so, he had already made up his mind.

The matter involved the fairy powder, and he knew very well the attitude of His Majesty towards the fairy powder.

Rather than saying that he stood on Ning Chen's side, it would be better to say that he stood on His Majesty's side.

Although Prince Duan was a prince of the royal family...but the previous prince, Prince Fu, was executed because of the fairy powder case, and even the queen was killed.

His Majesty has zero tolerance for fairy powder.

He has also seen with his own eyes the horror of fairy powder, which can turn a person into a ghost.

Although he cannot be called upright, he can distinguish right from wrong.

So, he stood on Ning Chen's side.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Master Li, don't look so sad... Cheer up, I'll treat you to dinner at the Music Bureau tonight!"

Li Zhixing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm old, not like you young people... If I were a few years younger, I would definitely go."

Ning Chen looked at him with a strange expression, "So Master Li has the will but not the strength?"

Li Zhixing's mouth twitched.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Master Li, I have a medicine here that can help men regain their dignity, become full of energy and blood, and be vigorous. He can have sex with several women at night without any side effects."

"Do you know Feng Qizhen from the Supervisory Department? This guy is so fierce that the girls from the Music Bureau can't stand him. They dare not do business with him. It's because of my medicine."

"Tell Master Li secretly that I am actually taking it myself. I used to do it once a night, but now I do it once a night."

Li Zhixing's eyes lit up, "Is there really such a medicine?"

Ning Chen nodded, "If Master Li doesn't use it, you can go and dig up my Ning family's ancestral graves, and I won't say a word."

Li Zhixing's face was full of excitement.

Men can tolerate anything, but they can't tolerate their own incompetence.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Master Li, please borrow the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I will write down the prescription for you."

Li Zhixing hurriedly said, "Ning Yinyi, please!"

Come to the room where Li Zhixing works.

Li Zhixing personally grinds it for Ning Chen.

Ning Chen picked up the pen and wrote down the prescription.

Li Zhixing held the prescription, his eyes were so hot that he almost burned the prescription in his hand.

Ning Chen put down the pen and said, "Master Li, this matter involves the prince. I will personally report to His Majesty and ask him to decide... You just pretend to know nothing for the time being."

Li Zhixing nodded repeatedly. He was now concentrating on the prescription, which made him happier than getting a thousand taels of gold.

After saying goodbye to Li Zhixing, Ning Chen came out of the Ministry of Justice, riding Diao Chan, and came to the Jiaofangsi.

"Ning Lang?"

Yudie was wearing a light blue dress, which made her skin more delicate... This was because she lacked jewelry on her head, which made her look a little plain.

Seeing Ning Chen, her little face was bright and charming, and she greeted him with joy.

Ning Chen just glanced at her lightly, walked over and sat down at the table.

Then, he glanced at Xiao Xing who brought tea.

Ning Chen's eyes were so sharp that Xiao Xing froze in place for a moment and looked at Yudie cautiously.

Yudie was also a little flustered, wondering what happened to Ning Chen?

"Ning Lang, what's wrong with you? Did I do something wrong?"

Ning Chen looked at her and asked lightly, "Where is the gold hairpin I gave you?"

Yudie trembled slightly, her face was flustered, and she stammered, "It's here, it's here."

"Where is it?"

"I... I couldn't bear to wear it, so I put it away."

Ning Chen looked at her expressionlessly, then took out a gold hairpin from his arms, "Does it look familiar?"

Yudie's face turned pale, and the whole person became panicked, subconsciously looking at Xiao Xing.

Xiao Xing also looked panicked. She personally handed this gold hairpin to Lord Zuo of the Ministry of Justice, how did it end up in the hands of Mr. Ning?

Ning Chen looked at Yudie, "Who is Zi Su?"

Yudie's face was pale, tiny beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and she knelt on the ground with a plop.

Xiao Xing was so scared that she fell to her knees.

"Ning Lang, listen to me and let me explain. I, I..."

Yudie was panicked and incoherent. She didn't know how to explain at all?

Ning Chen said calmly, "You don't know how to explain? Then let me tell you. You and Zi Su have known each other since childhood. Your fathers are old friends."

Yudie nodded in panic like a child who had made a mistake. "Yes, I... Sister Zi Su and I have known each other since childhood. I asked Xiao Xing to give the gold hairpin to Lord Zuo of the Ministry of Justice because I wanted Sister Zi Su to suffer less."

"I, I didn't hide it from Ning Lang on purpose, but..."

Ning Chen said calmly, "You are afraid of getting me into trouble and delaying my bright future, right?"

Yudie nodded in panic.

"Stupid! Zi Su's case involves the prince. Zuo Yaozu, a small chief, is useless. He doesn't even have the qualifications to ask questions."

Yudie panicked, tears like beads that broke off the string, "Ning Lang, don't be angry, I was wrong, I was stupid... I can't see the officials of the Ministry of Justice, I can only find Lord Zuo."

Yudie was terrified, with only one thought in her mind, Ning Lang was angry, he would definitely hate me and would never come again.

Looking at Yudie's cautious eyes, panic, crying, Ning Chen sighed deeply and couldn't pretend anymore.

He stood up and pulled Yudie up.

Ning Chen's voice became softer: "Yudie, I'm not angry because you found Zuo Yaozu and gave him money... I'm angry that you didn't tell me about such a big thing, but chose to believe an outsider."

Yudie lowered her head and said carefully: "Ning Lang has a bright future. I can't ruin Ning Lang's bright future because of my own selfishness."

Ning Chen said angrily: "If I can't even protect my own woman, what's the use of this bright future and high official salary?"

Looking at Yudie's red eyes, Ning Chen reached out to help her wipe her tears, "Do you know you are wrong?"

Yudie nodded in panic, "I know I am wrong!"

"Do you know what to do in the future?"

"I will tell Ning Lang the first time if I have something in the future."

Ning Chen pinched her little face hard as a punishment, "If you dare to hide something from me again, see how I punish you?"

"I will never dare to do it again!"

Ning Chen picked up the gold hairpin on the table and put it on Yudie's head.

Immediately, he took out all the gold beans on his body and gave them to Yudie, "Pay back all the money you owe? Our family is not short of money."

"I already know the matter. I will save Zi Su and redress your father's injustice."

Yudie stared at Ning Chen blankly.

"Why, don't you believe me?"

Yudie shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes like beads with a broken string.

Ning Chen pulled her into his arms distressedly and wiped her tears for her, "Why are you crying again?"

"I thought Ning Lang was angry and would never talk to me again."

She was really scared just now.

Ning Chen smiled evilly, "I am very angry now, Yudie has to help me calm down tonight."
