Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 169: Do You Really Dare To Overlord?
Shen Ninghua once again cleaned up the unstable factors in the mansion, and she will focus on examining the remaining people. After confirming that there is no problem, she will bring them into the princess mansion that will be built in the future, so that the princess mansion can be turned into an iron bucket that cannot be poured into. .

Bai Zhi looked at the list in his hand and replied: "Miss, all the items in the warehouse have been registered, and you can check them at any time."

Shen Ninghua flipped through the thick stack of lists in her hand: "There are so many?" She only knew that there should be a lot of things in her warehouse, but she didn't expect there to be so many.

"Miss Zhi saved nearly 4 taels of gold one after another through her medical skills, as well as the dowry of the previous wife, plus the rewards from the emperor, and the most important income from Huajun's medicine shop..."

Shen Ninghua nodded, with these things, she will have the confidence to do anything in the future, after all, money can make ghosts turn around, right: "Put these away..."

"Miss, Miss Xiao is here." Hong Ling came in to report and interrupted her order.

"Xiao Huanxi?" Shen Ninghua's eyes lit up, she had been waiting for a long time, and finally came, "Please come in."

"I have seen the princess."

"Miss Xiao is a rare visitor, are you feeling better?"

Shen Ninghua looked at Xiao Huanxi, with a hint of sarcasm hidden in her eyes. When she saw Xiao Huanxi the night before yesterday, she was trembling and pale because of killing someone with her own hands, but now she has a rosy complexion and a calm expression. , this person's ability to adapt is really quite strong.

"Due to physical reasons, I was unable to deliver the invitation in person, so today I specially came here to deliver the invitation, inviting the princess to the banquet I held at Xiao's house, and thanking the princess for saving her life. Please be honored."

Shen Ninghua took a look at the red and gold invitation card, with a smile on her face: "Okay, I must be there on time."

Xiao Huanxi had a gentle smile, always with a just right smile on his face, he looked very decent and ironic: "That's great, I heard that Miss Yang, the princess' cousin, is also at the house, I wonder if it's not convenient for Fang to visit now?"

Visiting Yang Yingxue?Shen Ninghua's heart moved, and she agreed: "Cousin should be fine now, Bai Po, take Miss Xiao to cousin's yard, I won't accompany you."

"Don't dare to bother the princess, please leave." Xiao Huanxi stood up and bowed respectfully before leaving.

Seeing Xiao Huanxi retreat respectfully, Hong Ling couldn't help curling her lips: "Miss, why did this person suddenly become what he is now? What kind of medicine did you buy in the gourd?"

The smile on Shen Ninghua's face faded: "She has really learned to be smart. Xiao Fengjue's way of training people is really admirable. In just one or two days, Xiao Huanxi seemed to have been reborn."

"Then isn't she getting more and more difficult to deal with? Miss, why don't you act preemptively and take her on the way..." Hong Ling raised her hand and scratched under her neck, making a movement of wiping her neck.

Shen Ninghua glared at her: "Let Bai Ping see you. This action will pull you down again to teach her a lesson. If I can assassinate her directly, why should I bother now? The Xiao family's position in the court is too important. Looking at it now, Xiao Huanxi is the weakest link of the Xiao family. With her, I can find thousands of excuses to attack the Xiao family. Without her, the Xiao family will become impregnable. At that time, I'm afraid there won't even be a breakthrough point, so Xiao Huanxi must not die easily."

Hong Ling suddenly realized: "No wonder the miss tolerated her many times, but the slave thought that you were the only one who tolerated her because of Master Chu."

"Chu Junyi is one reason, but not the decisive factor."

Hongling secretly heaved a sigh of relief. When Miss was cold and indifferent before, they were worried that Miss would end up alone. Now that Miss has someone she likes, with a little more warmth, they are afraid that Miss will fall too deep and end up being hurt by love. .As slaves, the few of them can be considered heartbroken.

Shen Ninghua didn't want to see Hongling's awkward expression, so she sent her out: "Didn't Xiao Huanxi go to Yang Yingxue's yard, you go and have a look, if you can find out what they said, come back and report to me."

"Yes, ma'am."

About half an hour later, Bai Bao and Hong Ling came back to report.

Bai Lu: "Miss, the servant took Xiao Huanxi all the way to Cuizhuxuan, she didn't look or ask any more questions, and only drove the servant to the door when she arrived at Yang Yingxue's room."

Hong Ling was also quite strange: "Miss, this servant overheard the conversation between the two of you. Xiao Huanxi just sent the invitation to Yang Yingxue. The two of you didn't say anything unnecessary. Then, Xiao Huanxi sat for a while and then left."

Shen Ninghua's eyes sank: "There is nothing unusual about it, and this is the biggest abnormality in itself. It is impossible for her to do nothing after a lot of trouble."

Until the banquet started three days later, Shen Ninghua did not detect any abnormalities in the mansion, which made her relax a little, thinking that maybe she was thinking too much.

An hour before the banquet started, she brought Yang Yingxue to Xiao's house.

This time when they came here, everyone treated Shen Ninghua with more respect. She used to be the princess, but now she is a real princess. The difference in the last word is actually a thousand miles away, even Xiao Jingran. Important officials of the imperial court have to greet them at the door in person to be considered polite.

Yang Yingxue followed behind Shen Ninghua, feeling that Shen Ninghua calmly dealt with the people who came to salute, she couldn't help but marvel in her heart, noble but not lofty, courteous but not alienated, friendly but not profane, such a woman's every move It was so beautiful, no wonder her mother told her not to be jealous, because she had no right to be jealous at all.

After everyone took their seats one by one, Shen Ninghua looked around. This time, the people who came to the banquet were very complete, basically all the wives from every family were present.

Seeing Mrs. Su sitting in the female family's table, Shen Ninghua paused her gaze for a while, then smiled slightly. Speaking of too many things that happened recently, she hadn't seen Mrs. Su's aunt for a long time.

The fall of the Shen family and the suffering of the second prince have had a great impact on the second uncle's family. I heard that the second uncle Shen Liang was also demoted some time ago. In addition, Shen Xuanhua and the second prince had a close relationship before, so it is even more likely that they will be affected.She also acquiesced to Second Aunt's distant attitude, and she didn't expect to meet her today.

Xiao Huanxi's preparations for this banquet were extremely thorough, and the dishes were also exceptionally delicate, it was a scene of joy for both guests and host.

Chu Junyi sat in the seat, and next to him was Wang Wei, the son of the Minister of Rites.I don't know if it's because he drank a few more glasses of wine, but the prince actually held the wine glass to toast in front of Chu Junyi: "Lord Chu, I respect you!"

Chu Junyi paused, although he was bored, he didn't directly refute his face: "Please, Mr. Wang."

After the toast, the prince did not stop, but approached Chu Junyi directly, with a strong voice: "Master Chu, you will become a son-in-law soon, I really want to congratulate you."

Chu Junyi's brows and eyes became a little impatient: "Thank you."

Wang Gongzi lowered his head and chuckled twice, and some of the wine in the glass was spilled: "This Princess Zhaohua is really beautiful, tsk tsk, that face, that figure, that demeanor, really unique Superb!" He stared at Shen Ninghua naked from the beginning to the end, with a deeply salivating expression.

A murderous look flashed in Chu Junyi's eyes, he picked up the jug and filled the wine glass, turned around and looked at Prince Wang with a smile: "One more toast to you."

Prince Wang chuckled: "Hey, you also agree with me? People of the same way, people of the same way, come on, cheers! Haha!"

A sneer flashed across Chu Junyi's lips, and while Wang Gongzi was drinking with his head up, he moved his inner strength and hit him with the hand holding the wine glass.

Hearing a bang, the wine glass rushed straight into Prince Wang's throat, firmly blocking his throat!

"Hmm... um..." Prince Wang rolled his eyes in shock, and the people around him were startled.

"What's the matter? Why did you swallow the wine glass?"

The prince rolled his eyes on the ground, and directly overturned the table, spilling the wine and dishes all over his body: "Hmm... help..."

"What should I do, the wine glass has choked my throat, call the doctor, call the doctor quickly!"

When Shen Ninghua saw Wang Wei's embarrassed appearance, the breath in his heart calmed down.She was already sensitive to people's breath, how could she not feel the prince's naked gaze just now, and was thinking of finding a chance to take revenge, Chu Junyi vented her anger for her.Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Ninghua looked at Chu Junyi and gave him a little signal with her eyes.

If it wasn't for the Xiao family's banquet this time, he would have made Prince Wang choke to death.Chu Junyi glanced coolly at the embarrassed Wang Wei, got up and walked behind him, using the internal force in his palm, and directly hit him on the back.

"Wow!" Prince Wang spit out the wine glass at once, his face turned blue from suffocation, and his whole body was covered with greasy vegetables, "cough cough..."

Xiao Huanxi had been close to check on the prince's condition, but he didn't want to be spit out all over, so his face paled in shock.

Xiao Fengjue got up, and while instructing the maid to go forward to clean up the messy place, at the same time, someone took the dirty clothes to the backyard to change clothes.

Chu Junyi was also stained on the hem of his clothes, he secretly said bad luck, gave Shen Ninghua a soothing look, and went to the backyard to change clothes.

Seeing Xiao Huanxi and Chu Junyi walking out one after the other, Shen Ninghua held up her wine glass, her lips became a little colder. She thought it was just a coincidence, but now it seems that it may have been calculated long ago. If She remembered correctly, that Wang Wei's mother should be Xiao Huanxi's aunt.

What is Xiao Huanxi trying to create such an opportunity?
Xiao Fengjue looked at the lack of appetite of the crowd, and hurriedly said: "Everyone, it was my negligence, I didn't arrange the banquet properly, now a hundred flowers are blooming in the courtyard, everyone just take a walk in the courtyard, just to relieve your mood, wait for the hall When the interior is ready, I invite you to re-seat.

Xiao Fengjue is also a rookie in the imperial court now, he was personally appointed by the emperor as the first-rank Yuqian guard with a knife, and everyone would not give him face, and got up one after another and walked to the yard.

As soon as Shen Ninghua walked into the courtyard, a maid walked over quickly: "Princess, our lady asked the servant to give you a message."

"Xiao Huanxi asked you to speak?" Because of her status, no one around came forward to disturb her at will, so there was no way for this maid to block her words, she just lowered her voice slightly.

"Yes, our lady said that no one can take what she wants." The maid smiled secretly, and her sleeve moved slightly, revealing a piece of fabric from it.

Shen Ninghua's pupils shrank, the fabric was exactly the same as the one Chu Junyi was wearing just now, even with a trace of oil stains on it!
Did she really guess what Xiao Huanxi was going to do? Was she going to rape Chu Junyi?
