The rebirth of the first daughter is not easy to mess with

Chapter 864 The Tip of the Iceberg (Touching the Core)

Shangguan Yue was suddenly agitated, her face flushed a little, Shangguan Ning looked at Shangguan Yue in confusion, even Yan Mushang felt a little surprised.

Shangguanyue has always been calm and demure, without changing his face when Mount Tai is overwhelmed, when has he ever experienced such mood swings.

"Auntie, is there something wrong with this chain?"

Like Yan Mushang, in Shangguan Ning's impression, her aunt has always been a gentle person, she always speaks softly and unhurriedly, and there is always a faint smile on her lips. Thick or not.

"This chain is a token from the ancestors of the Xia family to the ancestors of Shangguan. The original intention was to make the two descendants marry Qin and Jin, and pass it down from generation to generation. However, at that time, the eldest son of the Xia family had already married and started a business, while the daughter of the Shangguan family had just been born. , so this token was shelved."

Shangguan Yue spoke in a hurry, so she had to stop and drink two sips of water.

"The ancestors of the Shangguan lineage attached great importance to the friendship with the Xia family, so they promised in front of the ancestors of the Xia family that this item will be a family heirloom of the Shangguan family and passed on from generation to generation to the eldest daughter of the Xia family. If you are a man, you can ask to marry the daughter of the Shangguan family, and the Shangguan family has nothing to say, the two families clapped hands and signed a written agreement."

Shangguan Ning was a little confused, wondering who the Xia family was?She had never heard of a famous family in Dayong whose surname was Xia!
"Auntie is talking about the lineage of Lushan King?"

Yan Mushang's white palms were placed on the corner of the table, making the texture of the table a bit rough, but it made Yan Mushang's hands more tender and smooth like jade.

"good."

It was only then that Shangguan Ning remembered that Yan Mushang had once told herself that the original surname of Lushan King was Xia, and now this Lushan King is named Xia Hu, and it was this Lushan King who handed over a post to Shangguan's mansion a few days ago, He said he wanted to see Shangguan Jin.

Shangguan Ning's palms were slightly wet with sweat. The King of Lushan had never had any contact with the Shangguan Mansion. It was the first time Shangguan Ning had heard of the story between the two ancestors that his aunt told about. After so many years, What does Lushan King want to do?
Shangguan Ning knew the reason why he should not go to the Three Treasures Hall if there was nothing to do. The king of Lushan's visit was definitely not as simple as drinking tea and chatting with Shangguan Jin.

Thinking of the previous life, the death of his parents was the result of this Lushan King and Helian Muning's hands and feet, and maybe the Shangguan's destruction of this Lushan King also contributed.

"Before, the king of Lushan wrote to his mother to propose marriage to his son."

As soon as Shangguan Yue's words fell, Shangguan Ning felt her heart beat violently. Grandma never mentioned this matter, not even a word.

Shangguan Yue's face was also very ugly. When she returned the chain to her mother, she said that this chain is a curse, as long as it is kept well, it must not be thrown away casually, and it must not be passed on to Shangguan Ning, but she didn't want her mother He simply ignored his own words.

Shangguan Ning looked at her aunt in puzzlement. Her aunt and Shangguan's mansion rarely moved around, and she had never heard of any rumors about this matter. How did aunt know about it?
Yan Mushang's face was very ugly, it was the first time he had heard of this matter today, and he looked at Shangguan Yue with a little bit of displeasure, but Shangguan Yue was a little embarrassed for a while.

"I originally thought there was nothing special about this matter. When I returned the chain to my mother, I also specifically asked my mother not to pass it on to Ning'er, but I didn't expect that my mother would go her own way and not listen to my advice."

Shangguanyue was really wronged. She returned the chain to the Ning family first, and after receiving the news of King Lushan's marriage proposal, she did not know until today that her mother actually passed the chain to Shangguan Ning behind her back. dragon.

"Auntie, is there anyone in Shoukang Garden?"

Shangguan Ning used a question, but her tone was affirmative. In the past few years when my aunt returned to Qingyun City, she only went to the Shangguan Mansion once, and had very little contact with people in the mansion. Usually, only Nanny Jia would accept Ning's words. He entrusted Laiyouheyuan to visit Shangguanyue.

Nanny Jia has been by Ning's side for decades, so she will definitely not send a letter to her aunt behind Ning's back, so who is this person?
Shangguanyue took a look at her niece, this child is really sensitive, she only said a few words and the child noticed something abnormal, it is no wonder that Yan Mushang has a deep affection for this child, but in her mother's yard Putting eyeliner is really not a very easy thing to export.

"Is it Qingping?"

Shangguan Yue sat in a chair in a daze, and looked at Shangguan Ning who was only 15 years old in disbelief. Even Yan Mushang was surprised.

"Auntie, are you wondering why Ning'er guessed it all of a sudden?"

Shangguan Ning smiled slightly, her face was delicate and charming, her eyebrows were curved, and the liveliness and beauty of a girl were fully displayed.

Shangguan Ning didn't think there was anything wrong with her aunt's behavior. Her aunt was now a widow who separated from her husband's family, and her subordinates were in charge of Dayong's largest bank. As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to guard against others. Not only did Shangguan Ning not feel wronged by her aunt's behavior, but she agreed with it very much.

If a woman wants to live well in this world, she can't live without some means.

"To tell you the truth, Auntie, I have investigated several girls in my grandmother's yard, and I know that Qingping's native place is Jiangyang, and even Qingping's mother-in-law, who was born in a tooth shop, was moved by Jiangyang."

Shangguan Ning said softly, and Shangguan Yue's expression slowly changed from shock to calm.

"The most important thing is that among the big girls in Shoukangyuan, only Qingping has the opportunity to go out of the mansion frequently. Ning'er once asked someone to follow Qingping, and found that Qingping would always go to the East Street area every time he went out of the mansion, but Qingping was cautious. Every time she cleverly got rid of the follower, Ning'er originally wanted to find time to investigate further!"

Shangguan Ning spoke lightly, as if she was just talking about the weather and what to have for dinner, but Shangguan Yue's face was full of approval.

Originally, she was also worried that Ning'er, a little girl who was in charge of affairs in the mansion, would inevitably be bullied, and that she would inevitably suffer grievances when she married. Looking at it now, she worried too much. I don't know how much stronger I am.

"What Ning'er said is absolutely right, that girl Qingping was indeed arranged by my mother's side. Before that, I just wanted to put someone of my own by my mother's side and inform me of her health status at any time, but very few contacted her. , it was only after returning to Qingyun City that the contact became frequent, I don't want Ning'er to see the clue at a glance."

When Shangguanyue said this, she didn't feel annoyed at all. On the contrary, she was a little happy to be caught by Shangguan Ning's words.

Yan Mushang's expression was always gloomy, which made Shangguan Ning a little strange. Even if his aunt was hiding something about this matter, Yan Mushang shouldn't have such an expression. After all, this matter is a family matter. The person in charge is Yan Mushang's subordinate, so he doesn't even have to report the family affairs!

"Shang, I can't blame my aunt for this matter, after all, my aunt didn't know that my grandmother gave me the chain..."

Before Shangguan Ning could finish her sentence, she saw Yan Mushang glance at her. She and Yan Mushang had known each other for many years. The subordinates including Liao were afraid of Yan Mushang, but to himself, Yan Mushang was always as gentle as the spring water in March, so that Shangguan Ning would often suspect that the person standing in front of him and the rumors in the rivers and lakes Su Ye, the host of Zhushang Building, is not the same person.

It was the first time Shangguan Ning had seen Yan Mushang's cold eyes. Although she knew that the eyes were not for her, she felt a little wronged in her heart.

"Yueniang, don't you know what King Lushan is thinking?"

Shangguan Ning was stunned, Yan Mushang turned his face faster than turning a book, didn't he just call his aunt as affectionately as himself, and in the blink of an eye, he called her name with a sinister tone, it really was Banjun Like a tiger, but Yan Mushang is just a prince, he is still several levels behind the one in the palace, Yan Mushang is like this, let alone Yan Mujing.

It was rare for Shangguan Ning to think so wildly, and he didn't even realize how unreasonable Yan Mushang's question was. Two days ago, two people mentioned the matter of Lushan King, but Yan Mushang didn't mention it. It's not like Mu Shang didn't know.

It's just that Shangguan Ning was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice anything unusual about it.

"The landlord's punishment is due to Yueniang's negligence."

It has been several years since Shangguanyue joined Zhushanglou, and she has some understanding of the temper of this landlord. Because of Shangguan Ning, Yan Mushang's attitude towards him is completely different from other subordinates, but Shangguanyue is not Shangguan Ning, clearly understood her position and identity, and also understood the reason for Yan Mushang's gloomy expression.

"It should be punished."

Shangguan Ning didn't know what charades the two of them were playing, but when she heard Yan Mushang say that she wanted to punish her aunt, Shangguan Ning couldn't help but speak up.

"Shang, I have said that I don't blame my aunt for this matter, and it's not a big deal. The imperial decree for you and me was written by the emperor himself, and the imperial decree with the seal is now enshrined in the main hall of Ningyu Pavilion. Although the Shangguan Mansion has an agreement, the agreement between the courtiers must not violate the imperial decree!"

Shangguan Ning respected her aunt, Shangguan Yue, and was extremely close to her. She didn't care if her aunt was a subordinate of Zhushanglou. In her eyes, her aunt was her aunt. Since Yan Mushang was her future husband, she should treat her kindly. aunt.

Shangguan Ning's calmness and intelligence seemed to have been discounted in front of Yan Mushang. In his previous life, Shangguan Ning spent every day trying to help Helian Muning's so-called big plan, and worked cautiously. coquettish.

"Ning'er!"

Shangguanyue was moved in her heart, but she still lowered her face and shouted, what is Yan Mushang's identity? He is Dayong's King Shengyang and the Empress Dowager's heart. Although Yan Mushang loves her niece very much, But is a man's love so reliable?

However, what Shangguan Yue never expected was that Yan Mushang, who was still cold just now, immediately changed when he saw Shangguan Ning's expression.

"Ning'er, I'm just talking, why do you take it seriously!"

Shangguanyue looked at Yan Mushang in disbelief, her face was so tender and soft that water dripped out, Yan Mushang knew that Ning'er doted on her, but she never expected that Ning'er doted on her to such an extent.

Seeing that Yan Mushang's face returned to normal, and her tone was as gentle as ever, Shangguan Ning felt a little better, but the little grievance just now was still there, so she lowered her eyelashes and ignored Yan Mushang, and sat back in Shangguan Yue's seat. around.

Yan Mushang didn't feel annoyed when his face was pressed against a cold bench, but his eyes fell on Shangguan Ning's body, and he couldn't pull them out. Seeing this, Shangguanyue's eyes rose slightly, as thin as willow leaves. Ning'er met her in this life Beloved, as an aunt, I am really happy for her.

"Auntie, what's going on?"

Shangguan Ning ignored Yan Mushang, but was still very curious about the conversation between the two just now. Since Yan Mushang was able to get angry, it proved that the matter was not trivial. As frightened and angry.

Shangguanyue subconsciously glanced at Yan Mushang, and saw that the man who was domineering just now, like a rakshasa from hell, nodded at her helplessly.

"The king of Lushan not only has such an agreement with the Shangguan, but also has a close relationship with the royal family. The relationship between Xiahu, the king of Lushan, and the current emperor is extraordinary. The host only got the news a few days ago. Wan Tiejun expanded privately, and now there are probably [-] people."

After hearing this, Shangguan Ning felt a chill rushing up from the soles of her feet. The King of Lushan really belonged to the Emperor.

The majestic Shangguan Mansion is full of the emperor's eyeliner. What's ridiculous is that his father, the general, let the guards in the mansion let them treat the Shangguan Mansion like a vegetable market. The news is like walking on plains.

"Was the blocking force you encountered when you first entered the mansion also belonged to the emperor?"

Yan Mushang nodded. This incident can be regarded as his biggest mistake in recent years. He didn't even check out the people who blocked him. However, he also gained something from this. This cousin of his is far from what he appears to be It seems so simple, but his means and scheming are much better than his own uncle's.

Those who prevented him from entering the mansion and interfered with the guards' tracking were not as skilled as Yun Suo, and even he himself could not guarantee that he could enter and leave the Shangguan mansion without being discovered.

Shangguan Ning suddenly felt that the chill on her body was getting stronger and stronger. She couldn't help shivering the most red. The rabbit fur cloak on her body was not warm at all. She felt that her hands and feet were a little stiff, and the blood on her body seemed to be slowing down. slow solidification.

She remembered the day when Shangguan's house was ransacked in the previous life, the north wind howled, and it hurt people's cheeks like knives, the strong wind stirred up the dust on the ground, and the gravel and dust swarmed into people's collars and eyes .

She hid in the crowd of onlookers and was pushed forward by the crowd, unable to exert any strength at all. She saw that her mother was dressed in coarse cloth, there were a few bloodstains on her face, and her usually black and shiny hair was messy. The shoe was trampled off by someone, and he walked barefoot on the gravel-filled road.

She desperately wanted to rush up, but her mouth was pinned down, her hands and feet were pinned down, and she could only watch helplessly as the mother who regarded her as her sweetheart left her sight step by step. , There is no chance to meet each other on Huangquan Road.

No wonder the family members of the Shangguan Mansion went out, and the officials from the Yamen then went to search the mansion. It turned out that they wanted to clean up the mansion so that they could find things!

Shangguan Ning remembered again that half a month after the Shangguan Mansion was destroyed, Lushan King took over the Qingyun Army, replacing Shangguan Jin as Dayong's new God of War, and Helian Mu Ning became Dayong's first-rank official, ranking Standing in the court, the power is approaching Prime Minister Wang.

Everything was connected in series, and Shangguan Ning discovered that Helian Munning was just a small role in the incident of the destruction of the Shangguan Mansion, and the one who really controlled all of this was the superior emperor.

But why, regardless of how Shangguan Jin is as a husband and father, as a courtier, he is extremely loyal, not to mention anything else, the victories he has won in these years are enough to explain everything, Yan Mushang doesn't seem like a faint king, why would he? do something like this.

Both Yan Mushang and Shangguan Yue noticed that something was wrong with Shangguan Ning. Just now, the girl was having a quarrel with Yan Mushang. Although she was angry, she was very vivid, but at this moment, the girl's face was pale and she was shivering uncontrollably. What do you think? They are all unwell.

Yan Mushang didn't care about Shangguan Yue's presence, so he flew to Shangguan Ning's side, pulled Shangguan Ning into his arms, and held Shangguan Ning's pale face, only to realize that Shangguan Ning's eyes were also empty, Thoughts do not seem to be in their own body.

"Ning'er?"

Shangguan Ning didn't feel that she was being held in someone's arms at all, her heart was still immersed in the pain of the day when the government was destroyed in the previous life, the grief that hadn't surged up for so many years was as irresistible as a tide at this moment overwhelmed her.

"Ning'er, what's wrong with you, don't scare auntie!"

In the past few years, Shangguan Ning had either been poisoned or bewitched, so that the relatives around her became terrified because of this, and their hearts trembled with fright if there was anything abnormal, for fear that Shangguan Ning would fall asleep again if she was not careful.

Shangguan Yue's tense palms were covered with sweat, and even her back was covered with cold sweat. She had heard that there was unrest in the mansion, and she specially invited Master Changhong from Qingyun Temple to open the altar. Ning'er wouldn't Provoked those unclean things!
Yan Mushang hugged Shangguan Ning, and the panic in his heart rapidly expanded, no, he couldn't wait, he had to look at the elements.

"Auntie, Shang, I'm fine...".

As soon as Shangguan regained his senses, he heard Yan Mushang tell his aunt that he would take him to Suyi's place. It was Yan Mushang who made a fuss out of a molehill, which made him feel blushing every time and had nowhere to hide.

"Really okay?"

Shangguan Yue had lingering fears, and her face was not much prettier than Shangguan Ning's.

Yan Mushang's hands were still around Shangguan Ning's slender waist, and Shangguan Ning could feel the heat and tension in Yan Mushang's hands through his clothes.

"It's really okay, I just felt a little dizzy just now, and it made you worry!"

Shangguan Ning was indeed a little embarrassed. Seeing the two of them getting so nervous because of him, he couldn't help but feel guilty and uneasy.

After a false alarm, Shangguan Ning still brought the topic back to King Lushan. In her previous life, she only regarded King Lushan as an accomplice. Now it seems that King Lushan's role in this whole incident should not be underestimated, even considered The above is leading behind the scenes.

"Auntie, what is the relationship between our Shangguan Mansion and the royal family?"

　Well, do you feel it, Jiu'er is wielding a small shovel these days, filling the pit diligently every day, the hidden lines that have been buried before are about to be dug out one by one!Beauties, wait patiently, the truth will be revealed soon!happy weekend!
