Ning Chen loves his wife

Chapter 750 Confidentiality

As soon as Zhuo Ran heard it, she immediately said with contempt: "Brother-in-law, how can you give away the things you picked up at will? Aren't you belittling General Situ?"

"What contempt?" Zhuo Nan countered: "That hairpin is exquisite in style, never seen before, and is more precious than any jewelry on my body. If it is not something I picked up, I would not be willing to give it as a gift."

Zhuo Ran: "..." Is it reasonable to give the things you pick up casually as gifts? !She couldn't believe how precious that hairpin was. These two people must have been stingy with presents, exaggerating and deceiving others!

Zhuo Nan stared at Zhuo Ran with sharp eyes, and continued jokingly: "...not to mention how did we despise General Situ? We prepared a congratulatory gift alone, and we didn't ask you to pay us money. Can I take it out for you to have a look at?"

Zhuo Ran: "..." sharp teeth!Unreasonable!

When the fifth prince saw his woman being squeezed by Zhuo Nan, his face was full of anger, he was speechless, and suddenly stared at Jing Rongyu with scorching eyes and said with reproach: "Jing Rong, the things you pick up should be returned to their original owners, how can they be taken away?" Do you want to give it as a gift for yourself?"

He must find out if the hairpin Jing Rong picked up is... the one he lost!
Impatiently, he continued to ask: "When and where did you pick it up? This prince will help you find the owner."

Jing Rong picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, looked up at the enthusiastic expression of the fifth prince, and said flatly: "The day the prince's mansion lifts the ban and holds a big banquet."

Fifth Prince: The time and place are right!His hairpin was lost in the Prince's Mansion!
The fifth prince suddenly looked at Zhuo Nan with a smile on his face and said: "Mrs. Jing, it is not appropriate to give gifts from the things you picked up. Why don't I give you a generous gift for Miss Qing, and you take that hairpin back. In case If you find a benefactor, you can return the original thing, and you will have a good reputation of getting money back."

Zhuo Nan looked at the fifth prince with strange eyes and asked, "I still have a good reputation?" Looking sideways at Jing Rongxiao, he asked, "I thought I only had a bad reputation."

Looking squarely at the fifth prince, he continued: "Since I only have a bad reputation, why do I want a good reputation? Return it to its original owner? I'm afraid it will be returned for real, and the owner will mistakenly think that I stole it. Haha! I won't do such a stupid thing!"

Fifth Prince: "..."

Zhuo Ran took the opportunity to schadenfreude and taunted, "Sister, it seems that you still have a little self-knowledge. If you find the owner of this thing you picked up, the other party will definitely think you stole it."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The fifth prince suddenly scolded Zhuo Ran with a serious face.

Zhuo Ran was stunned for a moment, looked at the Fifth Prince in disbelief, and lowered her head aggrieved.She couldn't figure it out, she had been helping her against Zhuo Nan just now, how could this change her face again? !
Seeing this scene, Jing Rong's mouth curled up like nothing.

The fifth prince tried his best to show himself a sincere smile, looked at Zhuo Nan and advised, "With this prince as your witness, who would dare to wrong you for no reason?"

Suddenly remembered something, he slapped his forehead with a loud laugh and said: "My prince was almost confused by you, this hairpin was not picked by you, but by Jing Rong."

Looking at Jing Rong, he said, "In the name of a gentleman, you won't have any troubles if you return the property to its original owner, and it will only increase your reputation."

Jing Rong's cold eyes met her and said: "My wife only has the name of a wicked woman. As her husband, how can I have a good name?"

The fifth prince: "..." If possible, he wanted to cut off the heads of these two people with a sword immediately, and then bury them on the spot!Oil and salt do not enter!He is also angry!
Zhuo Ran looked at Jing Rong and his wife with wandering eyes, and then sneaked a few glances at the Fifth Prince.Even though she was dull by nature, she could sense that something was wrong with the Fifth Prince.He is not a kind and helpful person, how could he be willing to give a congratulatory gift in exchange for a picked thing, and then return it to the original owner?
Although Zhuo Nan knew that the hairpin belonged to the fifth prince, he guessed that the real owner of the hairpin should be a woman.Staring at the fifth prince, he deliberately asked: "Could it be that the fifth prince knows the owner?"

The fifth prince retorted with a guilty conscience: "I haven't even seen the hairpin, how could I guess who the owner is based on mere imagination? This prince is not so powerful."

Zhuo Nan didn't intentionally make things difficult for him, instead he nodded cooperatively and said, "It's true, when I held a banquet in the mansion two days ago, I didn't hear any noble lady lost her hairpin."

Looking sideways at Jing Rong, he said intentionally, "That hairpin is obviously a valuable thing, but the woman who lost the hairpin kept it a secret. It's really strange." Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the expression of the Fifth Prince.

Seeing Zhuo Nan, the fifth prince became suspicious, so he had no choice but to let it go.Thinking that the hairpin had fallen into Zhuo Qing's hands and entered Situ's Mansion, he had plenty of ways to get it back!
The carriage stopped suddenly.

Quancai's voice came from outside the curtain. "Master, Princess, Lord Jing, Mrs. Jing, Situ Mansion is here, please get off."

The fifth prince and Zhuo Ran got out of the carriage first, followed by Jing Rong.

Zhuo Nan was the last to get out of the car.Looking at the cars coming and going in front of Situ's mansion, they were all guests who came to congratulate him.

Zhuo Nan looked up at the majestic building of Situ Mansion.

The guard at the gate is a guard with a long gun. It looks like he has killed people in hundreds of battles, with sharp eyes and evil spirit.Ordinary people will tremble with fear at the first glance, and their calves will tremble.

Standing beside Zhuo Nan, Jing Rong saw her looking at the guards of Situ Mansion and explained: "These guards are all Situ Weiguo's personal soldiers, and they fought with him no less than a hundred times. These people only listen to the commander Situ Weiguo, Even soldier talismans are useless."

Zhuo Nan nodded.She still couldn't figure it out, how could she collude with her father in the prime minister's mansion in her previous life to usurp the throne even though she was a general who defended her family and country!

Hearing Jing Rong's introduction to Situ's Mansion, the Fifth Prince said with deep eyes, "Let's go, let's go in."

Jing Rong nodded.The two walked up the steps side by side and walked towards the gate of Situ Mansion.

Zhuo Ran and Zhuo Nan walked side by side, closely following behind.

Quancai, Qingshang, and the two maids brought by Zhuo Ran were at the end.

The other servants stayed where they were, and moved the congratulatory gifts from the carriage to the bottom of the carriage.

Zhuo Nan hadn't entered Situ's Mansion yet, and with wonderful eyes, he saw a burly middle-aged man standing inside the gate, with a scar on his left face, greeting other ministers who came.

Zhuo Nan guessed that this person should be the housekeeper of Situ Mansion.

The butler of Situ Mansion has been guarding near the gate, welcoming the distinguished guests who came to congratulate him.Seeing the fifth prince and others, he saluted immediately, and then sent a servant to lead them the way.

Quancai and Qingshang froze in their footsteps, after posting the invitation with the gift list and handing it over to the steward of Situ's mansion, they hurried to chase after their master.

A group of people had just stepped into Situ's mansion, and the man in a fancy dress who walked towards him was none other than Tong Yuwen, whom everyone knew well.

After Tong Yuwen bowed slightly to salute the four, he looked at the Fifth Prince and said, "Your Highness, you are here. Huiyi has asked me many times, please." He led the way.
