Chapter 303 - Dogs that bite don't bark (2)

Holding Xi-er, Liu Hanyun stayed silent.

In contrast, Xis.h.i.+ walked forward with Haohao and said with an ingratiatingly smile, ”Mistress Yun is insisting on not getting along with me. She said that it was my fault that Xi-er ate something that he was allergic to. Marquis, you should be the judge. Haohao is already the heir, why would I want to harm her child?”

After Ning Yuxuan hearing the entire story, he frowned. Looking at Liu Hanyun, he said, ”Yun-er, go back to Linghan Courtyard.”

Eyes reddening, Liu Hanyun asked, ”My lord, are you really going to be this biased without even clearly investigating the matter?”

”We're one family. What's there to investigate?” Ning Yuxuan walked over and gently gripped Liu Hanyun's shoulder. In the pa.s.sing, he glanced at Nie Sangyu and said, ”Let's go back first and get Xi-er his medicine.”

Ji Man nodded too. ”All of the wet nurses need to be more careful in the future. If something like this happens again, you won't be so easily forgiven like today.”

The two wet nurses nodded.

Ning Yuxuan herded Liu Hanyun outside, and Ji Man followed after them and left Cailian Courytard too.

Walking at the front, with an arm around Liu Hanyun's wait, Ning Yuxuan asked, ”Why are you making life difficult for Xis.h.i.+? Once Xi-er grows up, I'll arrange a good future for him too.”

Liu Hanyun bitterly smiled and said, ”My lord, this servant isn't try to make her life difficult. If it's not something that should belong to Xi-er, I won't compete for it on his behalf. Xis.h.i.+ has an unclear background to begin with. Not only is she rude and crude, she's extremely ambitious. If you always indulge her and never discipline her because of the heir, she'll continue to be insatiably greedy.”

It was somewhat inevitable that Ji Man would think that Liu Hanyun was like a dog that had bitten someone and wouldn't let go. Other than being a bit too blunt with her words, Xis.h.i.+ hadn't done anything wrong. Actually, it was very easy for other people to frame her because she wasn't smart. This was the reason why she and Marquis Moyu were constantly protecting her.

It was obvious that she and Ning Yuxuan were of the same mind about this matter. And so, extraneous words weren't needed. After Liu Hanyun was brought back to Linghan Courtyard, a servant girl was sent to make the herbal medicine.

On the way back to Feiwan Courtyard, Ning Yuxuan turned his head to the side and said to her, ”It won't be long until Mingjie returns.”

It had only been a couple of months since Ning Mingjie had left. This war hadn't lasted long, but who knows how many people had died or been injured. However, based on the war reports, Ning Mingjie had been responsible for many heroic contributions. The veterans in the army had fully accepted Ning Mingjie as the commander of the army. It was rumored that the troop morale was high, and the soldiers had swore allegiance to him too.

Shen Bozhong, the a.s.sistant general, was Shen Youqing's, the first princess consort, cousin. During this war, he had also earned credit for his position. As a result, the emperor had even praised the first princess consort and allowed Zhao Zhe to become involved with part of the military affairs.
