Concubine Mad Concubine: Fifth Miss of the Prime Minister's House

Chapter 280: Clever Lime
The old lady nodded, "So that's the case!"

"Speaking of the surname Zhao, I really think of a person named Zhao Yiming in a place less than ten miles away from Songshan Mountain."

Hearing Qing Ning's words, Zhao Ping's face changed, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

Qing Ning continued unhurriedly, "Speaking of him, he is really pitiful. He has no father and no mother, and lives alone in a dilapidated house. I went back to Songshan some time ago and happened to pass by there. He fell ill on the bed and no one cared about him, if I hadn't found out in time, he might have gone already."

Murong Jingxue clearly saw Zhao Ping's red eyes.

"Then he doesn't have any other family members?" The old lady sighed lightly and asked suspiciously.

Qing Ning looked at Zhao Ping, and replied softly, "I heard that he also has a sister. It is said that she went to the capital and never came back."

Murong Jingxue's gaze was on Zhao Ping all the time, and Zhao Ping was uncomfortable being watched by Murong Jingxue, she turned her face to look at the old lady, her voice was a little hoarse, "Old lady, why don't I serve you another bowl?" Soup?"

The old lady shook her head, and handed the bowl in her hand to Zhao Ping, "No need, I have to drink medicine later."

Zhao Ping took the bowl from the old lady's hand, "If there's nothing else to do, I'll leave first."

The old lady looked at her and saw that her eye sockets were red, and she couldn't help asking, "What's the matter with you? Why are your eye sockets red?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ping quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands, but her voice was still a little hoarse, "The wind blew the corners of her eyes just now, and they were a little rough."

"The weather is getting cold, put on more clothes, don't catch a cold." The old lady reminded kindly.

Zhao Ping nodded, "Yes, old lady, then I will take my leave first."

The old lady nodded, picked up the prayer beads she had put down, and began to chant.

Zhao Ping glanced at Murong Jingxue, smiled, turned and left.

After Zhao Ping left, the old lady wanted to recite sutras, so Murong Jingxue also left, and walked in the garden of the prime minister's mansion with Qing Ning.

"Qing Ning, did you see the appearance of Aunt Zhao just now?" Murong Jingxue asked softly.

Qing Ning nodded, she had been paying attention to Zhao Ping's eyes, movements and expressions just now, "When Aunt Zhao heard the word Zhao Yiming, panic flashed in her eyes, obviously she knew Zhao Yiming."

Murong Jingxue nodded slightly, "Continue talking."

"Aunt Zhao's eyes were red when she heard me say that Zhao Yiming was sick and no one cared about her. From this, it can be seen that Miss's inference was correct. This Aunt Zhao is Zhao Yiming's older sister, Zhao Ruping."

Murong Jingxue sat down in the pavilion in the garden, and nodded in agreement, "Qing Ning, you are right, judging from Aunt Zhao's appearance just now, it is true, so, Qing Ning, I want you to do it now one thing."

"Miss wants Qing Ning to stare at Aunt Zhao to see if she will behave differently than usual." Qing Ning said knowingly.

Murong Jingxue nodded approvingly, pointed at Qing Ning and said, "Qing Ning is more and more aware of my thoughts now, and it was the same when I was in Ruiyuan just now. I just said the beginning, and you will know what to do next , you are really getting smarter and smarter, and you are very good at observing words and expressions, Zhan Yuanxuan gave you to me, I really found a treasure."

Qing Ning smiled subtly, "Thank you for your compliment, Miss. This is not a little bit of superficial knowledge that I have been with Miss for a long time."

Murong Jingxue smiled and shook her head, "Okay, if you know what you should do, go for it!"

"Then I'll go now." Qing Ning cupped her hands.

Murong Jingxue nodded, watching Qing Ning's back disappear before her eyes.
