Chapter 175 Honghui Combo
Nian Sisi worked hard in the main courtyard for a day and returned to her residence in a huff.
"Why do they bully me like this?!" The tears that she had been holding back all day slipped from the corners of her eyes. Nian Sisi sat on the bed sobbing. Xiaodie quickly prepared hot water for her to soak her feet.
"Miss, I don't understand the truth, but I know that only those who endure hardships can become superior people." Xiaodie used just the right amount of strength to massage Nian Sisi's feet. "You have just hit a wall, what are you afraid of?"
"Well, you are right. This way doesn't work. Let's think of another way." Nian Sisi insisted on doing it to the end just to be able to hold her head high in front of Li.
Seeing that she had calmed her master down, Xiaodie did not dare to tell her that she had sent a message back to the Nian Mansion, but now no news has been sent back at all.
Whether it was that the concubine cut off their channels of communication with the outside world, or something happened to the second young master, it was not good news for her young lady.
I've been through enough today, so let's just take it slow and talk to her in a couple of days.
In this way, the master and servant, who were tired after a whole day, fell asleep early.
In the dead of night, she was suddenly awakened by a voice. Nian Sisi hugged the quilt and asked, "Who's outside?"
There was another crisp sound. Nian Sisi listened carefully and it sounded like the sound of glass breaking, and it sounded not far from her.
Could it be some movement from the Nianhulu clan? Thinking of this, Nian Sisi suddenly became excited. She had always wanted to find out about this mysterious princess, and tonight might be the breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Nian Sisi ignored Xiaodie's dissuasion, put on a cloak, and carefully walked towards the source of the sound with the lantern in hand.
"Crash!" There was another loud noise. Nian Sisi was completely sure that it came from the courtyard of the Niuhulu family. She moved closer to the gate and saw through the gap in the gate that there were female guards wearing soft armor walking back and forth, but there was not a single person who fit the requirements of a princess's attire.
If you listen carefully, you can tell what they are saying.
"How could the glass break?!"
“Who threw the big rocks here?”
"We must report to the master immediately!"
Someone pushed the door open in a hurry and left. Nian found a gap when no one was around and slipped into the yard. In the moonlight, she could see that although someone lived in the yard, it was not carefully decorated. She hid in the shadow of the trees and slowly approached the main house.
"Who's there?" Suddenly someone noticed the rustling sound here.
Nian held her breath and tried to reduce her presence, but was still found by the female guards. She was about to speak when the female guards pointed a sword at her and said, "What are you doing here so late at night?"
"I... heard the noise, and wondered if something had happened to Sister Niuhulu, so I came in. Your door was not locked, so I just came in." Nian felt the coldness next to her neck, and her speech was a little intermittent.
"Our princess got a little frightened, but now she's fallen asleep after drinking the calming soup. Princess Nian doesn't need to worry." The female guard did not let go of her sword, and the two of them just confronted each other until Yinzhen arrived with Yihuan.
Yihuan yawned loudly and looked at the tense atmosphere in the yard: "What's going on?"
The female guard then put down her sword and said, "In reply to the prince and princess, someone smashed the window with a stone in the middle of the night. The princess was frightened and now she has drunk the tranquilizing soup and is asleep. Princess Nian is acting suspiciously. I think the stone might have been thrown by Princess Nian."
"You are lying!" Nian Gege could no longer care about anything else and immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, I came here because I heard the voice and thought Sister Niuhulu would be fine. She actually had a knife in her hand. She simply didn't take Your Majesty and the Princess seriously!"
This was Yihua's first time walking into this place. Niuhulu had been ill for several years. Even Li would not easily mention this person in the mansion. Everyone was not stupid. This person must have violated the master's taboo to be under house arrest. Didn't you see that Wu Gege was still active outside? The door of the main house was closed, and the big lock on it could be clearly seen. There were broken glass scattered around, and there was indeed a big stone in front of the female guard.
Yihuan didn't quite believe that it was Nian who threw the stone. This delicate beauty shifted her thoughts away from the little wolf. No matter how strong her execution ability was, she should take a rest tonight.
If it wasn't Nian, then someone didn't want her to have a good life. As long as Nian was involved in the secrets of the Nian family, she would be an invisible person in front of Yinzhen for the rest of her life.
Li? Probably not. Although Li looked careless and full of thorns, she actually knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm. Except for being confused about the affairs of the eldest princess, she never stepped on Yinzhen's bottom line, so she lived a comfortable life these years.
Who is that?
While Yihuan was still thinking, Yinzhen became impatient: "Nian is under house arrest for three months and is not allowed to set foot here in the future. Someone will be hired to repair Niuhulu's house tomorrow. Okay, let's all go."
After saying that, he took Yihuan back to the main courtyard.
After all this trouble, both of them were refreshed, but couldn't sleep, so they warmed up some milk tea to drink.
During this time, Su Peisheng came over and whispered something to Yinzhen. Yinzhen took a sip of milk tea and said, "Honghui, this kid, is getting more and more presumptuous."
"Honghui?!" Yihuan almost spit out her milk tea. What does this have to do with Honghui?
"Xiaolang told Honghui about Nian's matter. Honghui wanted to get rid of her once and for all." Yinzhen became more and more angry. "This brat, not only did he smash the window, he also greeted the secret guard I placed there."
"He's determined to take me down!" Yinzhen said gritting his teeth.
Yihuan thought for a moment and defended her son: "It may not be just for this. A few days ago, Honghui said that he went to Yuqing Palace and seemed to see Niuhulu. It's just that they look similar. I just asked the child not to go to Yuqing Palace again in the future. The child should have remembered it."
"He watched the little wolf grow up little by little. He was too extreme in this matter. Just punish him." Yihuan quickly admitted her mistake.
"You don't need to test me with words. I will definitely punish him." Yinzhen twirled the Buddhist beads. He had finally caught the kid's tail, and of course he had to teach him a lesson.
"You have been wanting to ask me about the Niuhulu clan for a long time, right?"
Yihuan shook her head: "Although I am curious, I also know one thing. If Master wants me to know something, then I can know it. If Master doesn't want me to know something, then I have to not know it even if I want to know it."
"Hahaha." Yinzhen laughed a few times, "It's not that I can't tell you about this, it's just that I don't know where to start for the moment."
"Do you believe that a person has memories of his past life when he is born?" Yinzhen suddenly asked an unrelated question.
Yihuan's heart skipped a beat, and she blinked: "There are so many things in this world, maybe someone still has some memories."
"You should be open-minded. Once such a person is discovered, he will be a monster."
Yinzhen glanced at Yihuan and said seriously, "Evildoers do not exist in this world."
Yihuan was stunned. She nodded mechanically to show that she understood.
Yinzhen never mentioned anything more about Nianhulu. They turned off the lights and went to rest. Listening to the long breathing of the person beside her, Yihuan tossed and turned for half the night and couldn't fall asleep.
