In a dark corner of the abandoned yard, a pair of eyes shining with a strange light is silently watching Nangong Ning leisurely passing by.
Although he has no intention to rescue her, it is interesting for him to watch her doing self-rescue and putting her foot on the face of Jun Zixuan, which makes him feel how extraordinary the girl is!
Nangong Ning doesn't notice anything different. She walks around in the abandoned yard and finds the exit. However, when she comes to the street, she is lost.
After thinking for a while, she casually chooses a way to go forward.
Soon she is out of the lane and into a wide street.
Looking around, she decides to ask someone the way to get to the Regent's Mansion.
Since it is impossible for her to go back to find Mr. Zong,she decides to return to the Regent’s Mansion first, and then to have Mr. Zong rescued.
As she is thinking, a noise comes into her ears, and she turns her eyes to find a carriage coming.
Though the street is wide, there are no pedestrians to be seen exceptthe carriage.
Therefore, Nangong Ning rushes directly toward the carriage.
The coachman stops the carriage and stares at Nangong Ning angrily.
As the saying goes, “No one slaps the person who smiles at you,” Nangong Ning hurriedly wears a smile on her face and says, ”Excuse me, I just want to ask a way.”
The coachman is stunned.
A beautiful girl suddenly rushes on the street only to ask a way?
At this time, a clear female voice comes from the carriage, ”Old Man Zhao, our young lady askedyou, what is going on outside?”
NangongNing is happy to know that it is a female voice coming from the carriage, for a girl must be inside and would be easy to talk to.
The coachman respectfully replies, ”It's a girl. She wants to ask a way.”
At this time, the curtain is lifted from the inside, Nangong Ning looks up, but before she could see the people inside, the curtain is lowered.
”Where are you going?” A female voice comes out of the carriage, which is different from the clear voice before. Maybe it is the young lady, whose voice sounds a little indifferent.
Nangong Ning, of course, would not mind. She says politely, ”Excuse me, would you please tell me how to get to the Regent's Mansion from here?”
”You're going to the Regent's Mansion?” The voice inside is obviously a little restrained with surprise.
Nangong Ning’s heart skips a beat. She forgets that Jun Qianye has an extraordinary position in the State of Dongli. Anyone who hears her question asked in such a way will be surprised.
But she doesn’t want to explain, for it is hard for her to explain clearly.
”Yes, can you tell me how?”
”Coincidentally, I'm going to the Regent's Mansion, too. Get on the carriage, please,” says the female vocalinside.
Nangong Ning is surprised.
How can it be so coincident!
The memory and information that the original Nangong Ning left to her are not very much about Jun Qianye, but she does know that Jun Qianye does not seem to be fond of women all the time. How is it possible for a young girl to go to his Mansion?
Nangong Ning hesitates in action when she feels suspicious in mind.
Just then the curtain is lifted, a beautiful face appears and she says to her, ”Nangong Ning, don’t you come on?”
Nangong Ning is stunned and her suspicion increases.
Looking at the beautiful face, she searches in her mind, ”Miss An?” She says in a puzzled voice.
”What? Don't know me? ” An Suying looks at Nangong Ning with her eyebrows raised, and there is a trace of unfriendly light in her eyes.
Nangong Ning certainly can't say that. The original NangongNing is also a noble daughter born in the capital. Although she has no father or mother, she certainly knows the girl in front of her, An Suying, the daughter of the prime minister.
In her memory, Nangong Ning has no hatred with An Suying, but this An Suying is clearly hostile to her.
With deep hatred!
“Thanks, but I’d like to go back on my own if you show me the way,” says Nangong Ningsubconsciously.
An Suying smiles and says, ”But I don't want to tell you.”
”Then I'll ask someone else. Sorry to trouble you,” says Nangong Ning. She turns and leaves.
The smile on An Suying's face freezes and she is stunned.
She does not expect that Nangong Ning reacts in such a way.
She couldn't help screaming, ”Nangong Ning, don't have the dream to marry the Regent!”
Nangong Ning's back stiffens, but her step does not stop, she walks faster.
She guesses that An Suying might be angrier.
Sure enough, behind, An Suying is so angry that she gnashes her teeth and says,” Go and get the news out!”
Nangong Ning walks while curses.
She curses Jun Qianye.
She now understands that being bestowed by the Emperor on Jun Qianye in marriage is no good for her at all.
First, Jun Zixuan mentioned Jun Qianye in the case of the hijack. It is clear that he feels humiliated by her being bestowed by the Emperor on Jun Qianye in marriage. That is why her carriage was hijacked.
Second, An Suying is so hostile to Nangong Ning clearly due to her being bestowed on Jun Qianye in marriage.
The hostility comes from nowhere to her!
She looks up and forward, having no desire to ask the way, for fear further hostility may come up.
She could take time to look for the way back.
Maybe it is a good idea to go back to the Nangong Mansion?
