C271 (2/2)
Steward Zheng felt that something wasn't right. Under Jingjing's ”fervent” gaze, he could only brace himself and say, ”Esteemed wangfei, he passed …”
Jingjing looked at that fatty with disbelief, feeling more and more uncomfortable and weird inside.
She, who had always felt uncomfortable towards Manager Zheng, felt even more uncomfortable when she saw that the fatty had passed the test so easily.
However, she couldn't deny it in front of everyone.
Taking a deep breath, he looked over and said, ”Alright, it's temporarily over.”
There were still so many exams ahead of them, Jingjing didn't believe that this damn fatty wouldn't be able to make things difficult for her.
She was determined to knock this fatty down.
”Thank you esteemed wangfei, thank you esteemed wangfei …” The fat guy fell to the ground and kept talking.
The instant he lowered his head, he caused others to miss a trace of light that flashed in his eyes …
Jing Jing looked at this plump man in front of her with annoyance, she glanced at Manager Zheng and said: ”Don't be happy too early, there's still a checkpoint at the end, you just passed this trial.”
”Yes, yes. This one will do my best to live up to esteemed wangfei's love!”
The fat man's words from the Central Plains were rather unfamiliar.
When Jingjing heard this, she became even more annoyed, ”Go down, who dotes on you.”
The fatty hurriedly retreated to the side. When he raised his head again, he had a humble appearance.
Jingjing glanced at the fatty, only to see him retreat with a smile on his face. No matter how she looked at him, he was still annoying her.
In his heart, he secretly calculated how he would be able to get rid of him.
As he thought about it, he lost all interest in the upcoming elections.
Furthermore, from the looks of it, Nangong Xiu would not be coming today.
If the person who was chased away by Manager Zheng today was really Nangong Xiu, hmph!
Jing looked at everyone present again, then said to Manager Zheng, ”I'll head back to the Puzhen Park first. Choose seriously, I'll come back tomorrow for the second time.”
Manager Zheng nodded his head and looked at Jingjing's nod. He said to himself, ”No wonder the wangfei is called 'Super Protector'. It's really troublesome, I've never chosen it that many times in the past …”
After Jing Jing returned to the Pu Zhen Yuan Garden, she was extremely depressed in her heart.
He thought for a while and called Ye Chong over for a discussion.
When Ye Chong arrived, Jingjing told Manqing to leave.
”Ye Chong, do you know Nangong Xiu?” Jing Jing went straight to the point.
Although Ye Chong did not know the exact details of the recent events, he had heard a little about them.
Although she was surprised that Jingjing would directly ask him, she still nodded and said, ”I know this person.”
Jingjing nodded and said, ”Then you should know that the Crown Prince's consort, Beitang Bingying, is my senior sister. I want to find her, but it's not convenient right now. I need to practice until Nangong Xiu. Help me find her, okay?”
”Looking for him?” Ye Chong raised her eyebrows. ”I don't think so.”
Jingjing quickly said, ”Why don't you have this responsibility? Since you have the responsibility to protect me, you have the duty to listen to me. ”
Thinking about that, he lightly frowned and said, ”Nangong Xiu has already arrived in the Western Region. When he receives the news, he will disguise himself as a member of the Protector's Hall and come to the palace. However, he is not here yet … ”He was probably driven away by Manager Zheng. You should immediately go and search around. See if there are any people who have been expelled from the protective guards. Find him and bring him here to see me immediately.”
Ye Chong smiled wryly, ”But, Laiyue …” It seems like I have specially instructed you to be careful of Nangong Xiu! ”
Jing Jing's expression changed, ”Are you going to listen to me or to him?”
Ye Chong could only sigh helplessly. ”Fine, I won't take responsibility if something happens.”
”Alright!” Jing Jing nodded, then said to Ye Chong, ”If anything happens, I will take responsibility of it.”
”Wait for my news!” Ye Chong replied after a moment of silence.
With that, he tapped the message and disappeared from the window.
”Hey …”
Jing Jing called out to Ye Chong, who had already disappeared at the door. Where was he now?
Jing Jing muttered, ”I originally wanted to show you Nangong Xiu's portrait, but why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that you know his …”
He then looked at the door and said, ”Why are you not leaving?”
While he was speaking, he heard Manqing's footsteps from the door, followed by a knock on the door. ”Miss, Miss Ling'er has arrived.”
Only after hearing Manqing's anxious voice did Jing Jing react. She rejoiced that Ye Chong had flown away from the window just now. Otherwise, she really didn't know what would have happened.
Jingjing let out a light breath, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, ”What is she doing here again?”
Jing Jing had just finished speaking when she heard a burst of light laughter coming from the door.
Before Jingjing could say anything, the door was pushed open.
Ling'er looked at Jingjing with a smile and said, ”Big sister, little sister misses you. Why don't you come and take a look?”
Jingjing's face fell.
Ever since Ling'er had come back and changed her plans …
She knew that she shouldn't give Ling'er any opportunity to take advantage of it.
There was no need to pretend to be polite to her anymore.
At that time, Jingjing immediately pulled down her face, looked at Ling'er and said, ”I'm very well, I don't need you to look.”
After she finished speaking, she nodded to Manqing, who only served Jingjing tea.
