Chapter 61 The Daffodil

After King Shu’s heir and his people left, the crowd scattered gradually. Then Xue Lingfeng asked Yang Ning, “Your Excellency, don’t you know King Shu’s heir?”Yang Ning replied carefreely, “Why should I know him? Those whose courses are different cannot lay plans for one another. Even if I know him, I won’t make friends with him.”Xue Lingfeng smiled. “Your Excellency, you and General are much alike in character.” Mentioning Qi Jing, Xue Lingfeng showed a gloomy expression in his eyes and continued before Yang Ning replied, “The city is heavily guarded recently. If you don’t have something important, please try not to go out.”Yang Ning was clear that Xue Lingfeng said that to do good for him and thought the Tiger God Camp was the resource left by the Marquis of Honor. He nodded. “Thanks for your concern, uncle. I will keep that in mind.”Xue Lingfeng looked relieved and didn’t say more. Then he led his men to leave.

Chapter 62 Enjoy Flowers

It was not that Yang Ning had improper thoughts towards the girl. He just remembered that he had bumped into somebody when he chased the elder in grey robe. He was in such a hurry that he didn’t have time to stop and apologize. That person seemed to be dressed in such green clothes. He planned to ask her, but he couldn’t come up right away as he saw the girl lowering her head.Hearing the girl inquire, the old man hurriedly came over. “Lady, are you interested in this daffodil?” He showed a thumbs-up sign. “You have great insight. You are an expert. You can look for such flowers on the street and it is hard to find daffodil at this season. On this street, there are no more than three plants of this.”The girl raised her head and responded, “I have checked shops on the street and found that you have this flower, so I want to ask how much it is.”“Girl, it appears that you really like it.” The old man laughed. “Since you are an expert, you must k

Chapter 63 The King of Flowers

The old man nodded. “Sir, you have great insight. The crape myrtle is the treasure of my shop and the most expensive.” He turned to Yang Ning, but the latter smiled at Xiaoyao before he spoke. Yang Ning asked, “Xiaoyao, which one do you think is the king of flowers?”Xiaoyao walked to a flowerpot and her eyes were soft. “I think this fragrans is top-grade.”“Oh?” The old man smiled. “Lady, why do you think so?”Yang Ning saw the fragrans with pure white petals, which were even crystal-clear. Compared with the crape myrtle, it was not dazzling, but it was simple and clean, elegant with charm.“The fragrans is spotless and pure. It’s not as noble as the crape myrtle.” Talking about the flowers, Xiaoyao displayed a serious expression on her pretty face. “But flowers are like people. A person’s moral quality has nothing to do with his family status. Only somebody who is innocent and experienced, without distaining his heart with selfis

Chapter 64 A Misunderstanding

The tree shadows in the courtyard in the mansion of the Marquis of Martial Arts were mottled, and there were a few big trees which could be surrounded by several people between the lawns. The winding path with bluestones led to a secluded quiet place. Compared with the mansion of the Marquis of Honor, this mansion was smaller evidently, but its style was much more luxurious. The furniture in the main hall was costly and elegant, and even several chairs were made of selected precious sandalwood. Every part in the hall was well-arranged. It showed that a lot of efforts had been made in the mansion of the Marquis of Martial Arts, both in the big structure and small pattern.But servants were not seen in and outside the main hall, which was unusual for a sumptuous mansion.Yang Ning was sitting in the main hall in the mansion of the Marquis of Martial Arts, and Yuan Rong sat next to him. After they entered the mansion, they didn’t see anybody except the servant

Chapter 65 Pay for It

Yuan Rong’s expression changed first, and he looked at Yang Ning in shock.He didn’t expect that Su Zhen would suddenly say that the engagement would be called off, and he had never thought that Yang Ning came to cancel it. And what frightened him more were Yang Ning’s last words.Yang Ning and Su Zhen were two of the four marquises in Chu Country. The two families were on good terms in the past. The two old marquises were even friends until death.No matter in the officialdom or society, generally, people would only express their resentment in an indirect way and seldom spoke ruthlessly.Su Zhen was arrogant and criticized Yang Ning, which made Yuan Rong think he was not like a gentleman, but Yang Ning’s last words were harsher.Su Zhen mentioned the other party’s name and insulted Yang Ning, while Yang Ning’s words were not as straightforward as Su Zhen’s, but under the situation, what he said was extremely incisive.

Chapter 66 The Raging Fire

They left the mansion of the Marquis of Martial Arts, and Yuan Rong still had cold sweat on his back. He thought they came to invite the heir of the Marquis of Martial Arts, Su Zicheng, to have fun in a brothel, but the result was like this. He was unhappy with Yang Ning, but what was done was done, and it would be useless even if he blamed Yang Ning and complained. He had to repeatedly tell Yang Ning to keep his word and ensure Steward Wu’s safety.However, Yang Ning was entirely free from worry. After returning to his mansion, he didn’t hurriedly tell his family about this matter.He thought he would sleep soundly tonight, and as he expected, he had a good sleep before midnight. But after midnight, he suddenly heard that his room door was knocked with loud sounds, which awakened him from his dream.He was unhappy and got up, about to lose his temper, but he heard Qi Feng’s voice, so he restrained his anger. He opened the door and found the an

Chapter 67 Ruins

The fire was finally extinguished at nearly 3 o’clock in the morning. After the fire broke out, the streets in the neighborhood were blocked by the workers on patrol from the Capital Bureau. And because the capital city was heavily guarded recently, there were no onlookers except the people who came to put out the fire from the neighborhood.More than ten guards from the Capital Bureau came to put out the fire. After the fire was put out, the guards checked immediately if there was anybody who died in the fire.Compared with the guards in the local governments, the ones from the Capital Bureau had been well trained. And during the curfew period, such a big fire should be dealt with cautiously.There was smog or fire in the broken walls and tiles, although the big fire was extinguished.After the fire was extinct, Steward Qiu quickly checked the workers in the shop with Manager Xu. The pawnshop was not small, and there were eleven w

Chapter 68 Pawn Tickets

Many people complained and sighed in sorrow, but Gu Qinghan calmed down and declared casually, “All of you, don’t worry. Since the fire started in the pawnshop, our family would compensate for your losses.”All people heard that and looked happy immediately.“You go back to check how much you have lost. After confirming, we will pay you every penny.” Gu Qinghan looked tired. “This big fire started all of a sudden and got you implicated. I am sorry.”Somebody laughed. “My Lady, since you said that, it will be easier to handle it. In fact, I didn’t lose much, at most three or four thousand taels of silver.” He looked back at the ruins and sighed. “A shop was destroyed by fire. It’s not easy to check.”“Right, Mr. Lu is reasonable. The account book was burnt, and it’s difficult to check the stock.” Another person echoed him immediately. “But everybody has an account book in the brain. It’s not easy to check it clearly, but each of us

Chapter 69 A Manipulator behind the Scenes

After Dou Lianzhong said that, not only Gu Qinghan but Yang Ning also changed the expression slightly.“Young Master Dou, are you kidding?” Gu Qinghan kept calm. “Lord Dou is the minister of the Ministry of Revenue. As far as I know, your family is wealthy and won’t pawn anything. And it is clear on the pawn tickets that the owner is named Zhao Xin. What does it have to do with you?”Dou Lianzhong laughed. “To be frank, Zhao Xin is here.” He looked back and called, “Zhao, please come over.”Somebody immediately stepped out of the people who followed Dou Lianzhong and came up. He was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked ordinary. It was hard to find him in the crowd.“Manager Xu, do you remember me?” Zhao Xin stepped forward and saluted Manager Xu. “Last time you helped me, and I always keep it in mind.” He spoke with an accent outside the capital city and seemed to come from another city.Manager Xu was an old hand i

Chapter 70 A Family Heirloom

The family of the Marquis of Honor was in trouble continuously. Gu Qinghan managed the big mansion and was mentally and physically exhausted though she still kept calm in front of others. She was extremely tired tonight. After they went back to the mansion, Yang Ning comforted her and she finally went to have a rest.Yang Ning was clear that if Qi Jing were alive, these successive things must not have happened, but after Qi Jing passed away, many people with evil intentions tried to add insult to injury.Although Dou Lianzhong showed up and Yang Ning found that he must have something to do with them, he didn’t think that the Dou Family was the manipulator behind the scenes.The minister of the Ministry of Revenue was a high official of the empire, but only the Dou Family didn’t have the strength to cope with the family of the Marquis of Honor.The family of the Marquis of Honor seemed to be declining, but the marquises of two gener
