The Fourth Lady

Chapter 152 Safe and Worry-free

Ever since seeing Weisheng Minning in a dream last time, she would occasionally have that kind of

similar dreams again. She can hear their voices, can see their appearances, yet from beginning to end,

she is unable to touch them.

In the dream, she's like a wisp of spirit, when touched, the living would go through her. Under that kind

circumstance, did she finally realize she was only a ghost. And everything she witnessed was only but

the moon reflected in the water.

Weisheng Minning was groomed into a killer by Weisheng Junmo, a cold-blooded killer. But she knew

that deep down her Ning'er was still very kind, and he still has engraved in his heart everything related

to her, his Empress-mother.

And as for Jing'er, she was being well protected by him. Jing'er was still that innocent and carefree

young girl, and she doesn't know Ning'er is doing such dreadful things. In her heart, her eldest brother

is forever the one that has always loved and protected her.

When Qingyan thought to this point, she closed her eyes. There will be a day when she returns. Return

to that place, the place she was born and raised, the Nanchen that buried her entire youth, as Su

Qingyan.

"Master, the young General seems to wholeheartedly want to come to Donghe, however has always

been rejected by this subordinate." Yanmei thought of Qilian Qingyang's words previously and turned

his sight to Qingyan, "What should we do?"

"Let him come." Qingyan turned her head around and plainly spoke, "Some things, even if we want to

escape, doesn't mean we can escape. Little brother's age isn't small anymore. If he can come to rely

on aunty, perhaps it's not a bad thing either."

Qilian Yuran's weight in their hearts was still very important. Qingyan knew that Qilian Qingyang

wanting to come to Donghe at this time, was nothing more than to come rely on Qilian Yuran's help. He

must be thinking that he can get revenge on Nanchen through Qilian Yuran's help.

"Master, right now, the young General is also our organization's first, if not second, best person that's a

master of the Qi Huang technique*. If we let him come to Donghe to join the army, it's not necessarily a

bad thing." Yaochi looked to Qingyan and spoke, "Furthermore, the organization also has the special

firearms division."

(*T/N: It's medical technique relating to traditional Chinese medicine. The history of it dates back to

Yellow Emperor and his subject Qi Bo, who was a expert in medicine in early history. The details of this

technique is recorded in the 'Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon', a medical text from the 300BC.)

Qingyan looked to Yaochi and shook her head, "No matter. After all, although Donghe's throne is Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

passed on to the eldest legitimate son, the Crown Prince's body has been unwell since youth. I

suppose he won't be able to live long. The other various princes, although appear careless, in reality,

all want to seize the throne."

"Then who does master support?" Anying, standing to the side, slowly opened his mouth.

Qingyan, while listening to him, walked over to the table side and sat down, "Which prince do you all

think I'm supporting?"

"Probably the Fourth Prince, right?" Yaochi looked to Qingyan and faintly spoke, "The Fourth Prince is

born from the Imperial Noble Consort, if it wasn't because of that rule, I'm afraid the old Emperor would

be passing the throne to the Fourth Prince."

Qingyan listened to Yaochi's words and nodded, "That's right, the one we're supporting is Xuanyuan

Yuzhen." Qingyan held the teacup up and took a sip. "It's also precisely because of this that we need to

help Xuanyuan Yuzhen get rid of those people."

"Seems like the person Murong Shizi picked should also be the Fourth Prince." Yanmei looked to her

and faintly spoke, "I've seen the Fourth Prince privately meet with Murong Shizi many times."

Qingyan listened to their words and nodded, "That's right, it's exactly so."

"Master, then according to your words, we just need to quietly wait for an opportunity?" Anying said as

he accepted the tea Qingyan handed to him, "Thank you, master."

"Yes, I assume Zizhu should have already finished arranging your rooms. If you're tired, then go rest."

Qingyan looked to Zizhu who was heading in her direction with a smile.

"This subordinate understands." The three of them said as they headed to their own rooms under

Baizhi's lead. All their rooms were not far from Su Qingyan's room, probably only separated by one

room. And that room was even Qingdai and Chishao's room.

"Miss, Madam Jia has come." Huangcen's voice just dropped when Jia Yun's voice came through.

"Yan'er, there's something I want to tell you."

Qingyan looked to Jia Yun slowly walking over with a smile, "Aunty, why have you come? Zizhu, hurry

and serve tea."

Zizhu very familiarly poured a cup of tea for Jia Yun. Afterwards, she placed it in front of Jia Yun. Zizhu

knew that Jia Yun has words she wants to say to Qingyan, so she turned and left too.

"Aunty, what's wrong? What happened for you to be so alarmed?" Qingyan looked to Jia Yun and

faintly spoke, "Could it be that someone discovered your identity?"

Jia Yun looked to Qingyan, shaking her head, "It's not that, Yan'er look." Jia Yun said as she took out a

slip of paper and placed it in front of Qingyan, and the signature on the slip was precisely Ning Siyao's.

On the slip wrote, the Su Jia-shi of the Su manor is the real Su Jia-shi, so the people of the General's

manor were all lying to her.

"Yan'er, say, how does Ning Siyao know that I'm Su Jia-shi's blood related niece?" Jia Yun looked to

Qingyan and asked with a frown, "If I've caused trouble for you....."

"Aunty, no matter, looks like Ning Siyao has already stretched her hand into our General manor."

Qingyan interrupted her words and spoke in a chilling tone, "Guess, what do you think second aunt

wants you to do?"

Jia Yun looked to Qingyan and shook her head.

"Second aunt probably wants to let you seduce my dad." Qingyan look to her, still with a calm

expression, "But if it's really like that, then that means that there's Ning Siyao's people in our General

manor." When she said this, Qingyan tightly gripped her hands.

The people she brought from the Su manor, for the most part, were all people she was familiar with.

Even those she was not familiar with were all brought into the manor through the slave broker

afterwards, and were all confirmed to have clean backgrounds. Looking at it now, this Ning Siyao's

methods were indeed more useful than she'd imagined.

"How could I go seduce General Su." When Jia Yun heard this, she made a helpless expression,

"Moreover, I don't have any feelings towards the General either!"

Qingyan looked to Jia Yun and shook her head, "Aunty, do you know what 'the wickedness of the

human heart' means? Some things, just because you're unwilling, doesn't mean you don't need to do

them. This matter, just pretend you don't know for now. Let me think about how to deal with it."

Jia Yun looked to Qingyan and earnestly nodded, "If I can have Yan'er's assistance, then naturally it's

for the best."

Qingyan looked to Jia Yun and nodded smiling, "Aunty, don't worry."

After Jia Yun finished speaking with Qingyan, she turned and left. Seeing Jia Yun's retreating figure,

Qingyan's brows tightly creased. In this General's manor, just who is Ning Siyao's spy.

Just what should we do to catch this mole?

If we need to lure the snake out of the hole, then who should we use as bait? Besides, Su Yun

inherently isn't proficient with the matters of the back manor, so to tell this matter to Su Yun was

impossible.

"Miss, just now, what did Madam Jia come to say? Why are you frowning?" Baizhi said as she

appeared with a plate of red bean rice cake. "This is the pastry that just came out of the pot, miss have

a taste."

Seeing the red bean rice cake before her, the corner of Qingyan's lips delightfully hooked into a curve.

If she didn't remember incorrectly, that person seems to also like red bean rice cake the most too.

Tsk. This big surprise, Ning Siyao, will you like it?
