As soon as La month arrived, three consecutive days of heavy snow collapsed some houses in the village.
Bai Xiaohu said that his father and uncle had gone to help repair the houses, and Ning Jing also brought tools to lend a hand.
Su Liang wanted to take a look, but a patient arrived just then.
Recently, there were many elderly people and children infected with cold, so Su Liang prepared a special, inexpensive, and effective medicine that even attracted buyers from neighboring villages.
After sending the patient away, Yan Shiba said that she wanted to move around a bit.
Since Su Liang’s return, Yan Shiba’s complexion had been visibly improving day by day. Su Liang carefully arranged everything from her diet to her medication and daily appropriate massages and exercises.
Yan Shiba felt this herself above anyone else.
Su Liang didn’t boast or ask for gratitude, but some things didn’t need to be said when they were already done.
The snow had just stopped this morning, and though the sun was out, the cold was still bone-chilling.
Su Liang let Yan Shiba lean on a crutch, and she supported her on the other side as they slowly walked from the bed to the window.
They opened half the window, and a cold wind mixed with bits of snow blew in.
The light outside was too bright, and Yan Shiba subconsciously squinted her eyes, but the corner of her mouth curved up into a smile, “I’ve been so comfortable lately that I sometimes feel like my past as an assassin was just a dream. ”
With a profound tone, Su Liang said, “Put down the butcher knife, and become a Buddha on the spot.”
Yan Shiba raised her eyebrows slightly, suddenly energized, “Little Liang, you asked before who saved me and sent me here, right?”
Su Liang countered, “So what?”
“I miss that beautiful young man so much,” Yan Shiba sighed, “I want to see him right away!”
Su Liang: .
Yan Shiba didn’t mention that the person who saved her was a monk at first.
It was Su Liang and Ning Jing who happened to meet Cheng Yun later, and Cheng Yun asked about Yan Shiba. But Yan Shiba didn’t know about this.
Of course, Cheng Yun was just kind-hearted and had no indecent thoughts about Yan Shiba.
But Yan Shiba, an assassin, had wicked intentions for the innocent little monk.
Su Liang thought it was not suitable, very unsuitable!
“Little Liang, I’m talking to you! Aren’t you going to ask me his name?” Yan Shiba’s voice was tender.
“You can say it or not.” Su Liang was calm.
“Well, I’m going to say it anyway. His name is Cheng Yun. Doesn’t it sound nice?” Yan Shiba resembled a lovesick teenager.
“What’s his surname?” Su Liang asked.
Yan Shiba snorted, “Who says everyone has to have a surname?”
Su Liang sensed that although Yan Shiba had voluntarily brought up Cheng Yun, she didn’t want to tell Su Liang that he was a monk.
“Do you plan to find him after your injury is healed?” Su Liang asked.
Yan Shiba nodded, “Of course. He saved me, and now that I have nothing, I can only offer myself.”
Su Liang frowned, “Would he even want that?”
Yan Shiba glared at Su Liang, “Do you think I’m not beautiful enough or my personality is not lovely enough?”
Su Liang coughed lightly, “Miss 29, I need to remind you that love has nothing to do with looks or personality. What if he doesn’t like women at all?”
“Then he can consider me not a woman, but…” Yan Shiba leaned her head on Su
Liang’s body and acted coquettishly, “a captivating fairy.”
Su Liang: … This woman is terrifying. Cheng Yun is in danger!
However, she had no intention to interfere with Yan Shiba’s and Cheng Yun’s matters, as helping others in need was only human nature.
She was about to have Yan Shiba go back and lie down when she suddenly heard a noise in the courtyard. Su Liang thought it was impossible for Ning Jing to return so soon, as Bai Xiaohu said that several houses needed urgent repairs.
She looked outside through the window and saw a tall white figure standing in the courtyard, almost blending with the vast snowy landscape. At first glance, it seemed like a snowman.
As Su Liang’s guard went up, she heard Yan Shiba grinding her teeth, “Yan Shiqi!”
The person was wearing a mask, and Yan Shiba recognized him at a glance. She must have been very familiar with him.
“Yan Shiba?” Yan Shiqi’s gaze penetrated the window, fell on the person Su Liang was supporting, and his eyes narrowed sharply!
Su Liang thought she should find Ning Jing.
Although Yan Shiqi had an agreement with Ning Jing and should have come to collect the “reward” after completing the mission, he might kill and seize the finger guard if Ning Jing was not home.
Then she heard Yan Shiba say, “Little Sister Liang, go back to your room.” Su Liang lowered her voice, “Are you sure? You can’t beat him.”
“I’m sure.” Yan Shiba nodded, keeping her eyes on Yan Shiqi.
Yan Shiqi did not move either.
So Su Liang helped Yan Shiba sit on the bed, walked out, and said to Yan Shiqi, “Please come in.”
Yan Shiqi glanced at Su Liang, “Are you… Ning Jing’s woman?”
Su Liang didn’t answer, and returned to her room.
Yan Shiqi waited for a moment before entering Yan Shiba’s room, and the doors and windows were quickly closed.
After reading three pages of a book, Su Liang heard Yan Shiba calling for her.
When she arrived at Yan Shiba’s room, there was no trace of Yan Shiqi, only a few shallow footprints in the courtyard, proving that someone had been there.
“You’re not his enemy?” Su Liang asked.
“I am.” Yan Shiba coldly snorted.
“Then why are you still alive?” Su Liang couldn’t understand.
“He’s Yan Suits confidant.” Yan Shiba said, then suddenly sneered, “It’s a shame, we were equals in strength, but he has a fatal weakness.”
Su Liang wanted to hear more about it.
Then she saw Yan Shiba with a smug expression on her face, “He likes me.”
Su Liang was taken aback, “If I remember correctly, you previously referred to him as a treacherous villain?”
Yan Shiba nodded, “That’s right. But he won’t do anything to me.”
“You, towards him…” Su Liang heard that Yan Shiba obviously has no interest
in Yan Shiqi. It’s Monk Cheng Yun that she likes.
“I like the pretty and tender ones, he’s old and ugly.” Yan Shiba was quite disgusted.
“But you gave him the MO Yu thumb ring.” Su Liang asked. The thumb ring used to hang by Yan Shiba’s bed, but now it’s gone.
Yan Shiba nodded. “I don’t have the convenience right now, so I let him manage the Yanyun Building for the time being, waiting for my return!” “So is the owner of the building you, or him?” Su Liang asked.
“Of course, it’s him. I just need to control him, so why bother managing the trivial matters of Yanyun Building? It’s a waste of my heart and mind.” Yan Shiba smiled, “Isn’t my sister very smart?”
Su Liang didn’t agree, “If there’s no possibility with you and Yan Shiqi, don’t deceive him anymore, be careful of retribution.”
Yan Shiba wholeheartedly didn’t care, “Xiao Liang, I’ll be good to you, but listening to your words depends on the situation. It’s nothing to do with you, there’s no need to lecture me. He’s more than happy to be!”
Su Liang shook her head, “Forget it, I’m being nosy. Don’t take the sistership seriously. Leave once your injury heals.”
They were destined not to walk the same path. Yan Shiba took the initiative, but she obviously hadn’t really changed anything because of Su Liang.
As Su Liang walked to the door, Yan Shiba wanted to stop her, but when the words were about to come out, she took them back.
She craves the warmth Su Liang gave her, which is undoubtedly true.
However, not long ago, Yan Shiba, who was talking about the past of an assassin like a dream, didn’t want to give up what she considered to be her
Yanyun Building.
“My injury won’t heal anyway, I won’t leave!” Yan Shiba thought.
Ning Jing went out in the afternoon and came back in the evening with a hard pancake in his hand, which was forced upon him by the woman from the last family whose house was repaired.
Ning Jing ate the pancake for dinner.
Only after Yan Shiba went to sleep did Su Liang mention to Ning Jing that Yan Shiqi had come and gone.
Ning Jing didn’t care and just said, “Let Yan Shiba get out as soon as possible.”
“You were the one who asked me to save her back then.” Su Liang sighed softly, then changed the subject, “Was the pancake delicious?”
Ning Jing nodded, “Delicious.”
The last family’s house hadn’t collapsed. Ning Jing was helping another family repair their house when he saw a middle- aged man with black fog appearing in the center of his eyebrows. He quietly followed him and saw him go home. After looking around the house, he felt that it wasn’t very sturdy and wouldn’t last long. If it suddenly collapsed in the middle of the night, it could likely kill someone.
However, he couldn’t go to their doorstep and tell them that their house would collapse soon; doing so would get him beaten up.
So Ning Jing figured out the right position, kicked the wall most likely to collapse, and didn’t hurt anyone.
Later, it was only natural to help fix and reinforce the house.
Su Liang didn’t know the reasons behind it, and Ning Jing didn’t mention it anymore. She suddenly asked, “Nian Jincheng and Duanmu Chen should have arrived in the capital city, right?”
Ning Jing nodded, “If they’re still alive.”
Su Liang snorted lightly, “You obviously care about someone very much, but your words don’t match the truth.”
“Caring doesn’t mean I have a responsibility to him. If he makes the wrong choice and pays the price for it, I can only say, ‘What a pity.”‘ Ning Jing’s expression was indifferent.
But often, this simple wish is not easy to achieve.
“If one day we go our separate ways, you’ll be the same with me, right?” Su Liang said with a light smile.
Ning Jing glanced at Su Liang. “You’re much smarter than Nian Jincheng. You won’t choose the wrong path, but you might run into trouble because of your lack of strength. Let’s continue practicing tomorrow morning.”
Su Liang silently got up and went back to her room to sleep, as she had to get up early the next day.
Capital City.
Late at night, after Nian Jincheng sent Duanmu Chen back to the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, he returned to the Nian Family’s residence.
After bathing and changing clothes, he was hungry. He was about to ask his servant to find some food when he heard Nian Ruxue’s voice, “Second brother?”
Due to Ning Jing and Duanmu Chen’s warning, Nian Jincheng’s brow furrowed instinctively. He got up, opened the door, and saw Nian Ruxue wearing a cape and a hood, holding a food box, and smiling brightly at the doorway.
Nian Jincheng felt a warm feeling in his heart and quickly let her in. “Why isn’t sister Ruxue asleep so late?”
Nian Ruxue entered, put down the food box, took off her cape, and smiled sweetly, “I told my servant to let me know when my second brother comes back, no matter how late. When I see that he’s safe and sound, I’m relieved! Are you hungry, second brother? I made your favorite dishes.”
“I am indeed hungry.” Nian Jincheng nodded, “Sister Ruxue, sit down and eat together.”
“I’m not hungry, eat more, second brother.” Nian Ruxue served Nian Jincheng rice and vegetables.
As Nian Jincheng ate, he listened to Nian Ruxue asking about the Fourth Prince.
“Everyone is safe.” Nian Jincheng said.
“Thank goodness.” Nian Ruxue clasped her hands together and curiously asked, “Recently there has been a lot of rumors in the capital about the mastermind behind the iron mine smuggling case, but there’s no conclusion yet. Second brother must know, tell me, is it Nanping Prince or Bei Jingwang? It can’t be the one from the west, right?”
Nian Jincheng shook his head, “This is a secret, Fourth Prince did not let me know.”
Nian Ruxue frowned, “That’s impossible. You’re with the Fourth Prince, how can you not know? Or you can’t tell me? I won’t tell anyone.”
“I really don’t know.” Nian Jincheng shook his head, “The Fourth Prince doesn’t trust me.”
Nian Ruxue was somewhat disappointed, “Alright.”
Nian Jincheng closed his eyes and suddenly said, “I have news about Gu Ling.”
Nian Ruxue looked surprised and then overjoyed, “Where is he? He’s really alive!”
“I’ve been thinking, if you stay in the capital, you’ll definitely be arranged to marry someone you don’t like. In that case, you might as well go find Gu Ling. You said that even if he doesn’t accept you, you’d be willing to be his slave or servant, doing laundry and cooking for him. I think when he sees you, he won’t drive you away for my sake.” Nian Jincheng looked up and said earnestly to Nian Ruxue, “I, your second brother, don’t ask for anything else, I just hope you can be happy.”
When Nian Ruxue heard this, her expression became unnatural, “This… is too sudden. Are you sure he’s really in the place you know? What if I go there and he’s gone?”
“No need to worry.” Nian Jincheng shook his head, “I’ve sent him a message, made an appointment, and he’ll definitely be waiting there. You don’t need to pack anything. I’ll send you away tonight to avoid any trouble.”
“But… I can’t bear to leave my grandmother and second brother…” Nian Ruxue
fiddled with her handkerchief.
Since Nian Jincheng mentioned Gu Ling’s name, he didn’t see any hesitation or real joy on Nian Ruxue’s face, only eagerness to find excuses to avoid his arrangement.
Nian Jincheng’s eyes were slightly cold, “Xue’er, you didn’t say that before, you even got angry with me because I didn’t support you. It hasn’t been that long, so has your heart changed, or did I misunderstand you?”
“Second brother, let him come to pick me up. As long as he comes, I’ll follow!” Nian Ruxue suddenly grabbed Nian Jincheng’s arm.
Nian Jincheng slowly pushed her away, his tone icy, “Let him come to the capital? You hired the assassin from Yanyun Building with a lot of money to find him, not because of love and longing, but to lure him out, right? I was so stupid to believe your explanation for such an absurd act. Do you think I’m easy to deceive? As long as he appears, you’ll inform the emperor, he’ll be captured, and you’d make a great achievement.. Am I right, Miss Nian?”
