Chapter 18
Near dawn, search and rescue officers and soldiers found two people by the stream. At that time, Nalan Meng was already in a coma and his life was hanging by a thread.Immediately sent back to the city for treatment.Since there were no clues, this attack put many sinners in Yangzhou City, Anfu and Nalan's family, at risk. It is not known whether the assassin's target was An Ningyu or Nalan Meng. The only thing that is certain is that Nalande was very angry and offered a reward. Jin Wanliang is bound to catch the gangster who shot and wounded his daughter.
There has been no progress in the case in the past few days. Ji Yu ran to Nalan Mansion every day. Anyway, he was the one who brought the man out. Now that he was injured, he was duty-bound and apologized to Nalande many times.
Haitang carried the medicine as before, and walked to Nalan Meng's bedside, "Miss, there is someone outside waiting to visit Miss, do you want to meet?"
"I don't want to see anyone, just say I'm asleep." The thought of Ji Yu coming here gave Nalan Meng a headache, who told him to come here more frequently than the doctor.
Haitang put the medicine she was carrying on the table, and deliberately replied to Nalan Meng, "Then I will let Master An and Master Bu go back."
"Who do you think is here?" Nalan Meng who was lying on the bed sat up and asked.
"Master Ning Yu and Master Brown."
"Then let them in."
"Miss, didn't you just say that you don't want to see anyone?"
"eventful."
Since Nalan Meng was sent back from the hunting ground, at the beginning, every time someone came to visit, she would be very concerned. Later, she found that it was Ji Yu every time, showing a disappointed expression. How could Haitang, who has been with her for many years, not know what Miss is thinking, " Do you need to let Master An avoid it?"
"Why do you want her to avoid it?" Nalan Meng didn't understand for a while.
"Miss, don't you hate Master An very much?"
"Who says I hate her?"
"Otherwise you have been blaming her for the past few days, saying that she doesn't know how to cherish flowers and jade, that she is cold-blooded, that she doesn't come to visit you at home when you are injured, that she has a heart of stone..." Nalan Meng, who was locked up in the house for rest, In Haitang's ear, she kept swearing about An Ningyu's faults, subtly making Haitang feel that An Ningyu was a bit heinous.
"Who made you talk too much, go and invite someone in." Jing Haitang said this, as if forcing Nalan Meng to face or admit some things or feelings that she wanted to deny.In the battle of the hunting ground, the heart-to-heart words of the two in the desolate jungle gave Nalan Meng a different feeling, and found that An Ningyu was not as indifferent as it seemed on the outside, but had a sensitive and fragile heart.
To be honest, An Ningyu didn't intend to come over on this trip. Considering Nalande's status in Yangzhou City, he persuaded himself to come to visit out of courtesy.Moreover, the government's incompetent investigation for many days has not found any clues about the assassin, so by the way, I would like to ask Nalande, who is always well-informed, who actually did the murder.
Walking into the room, the layout of the room is very elegant. Unexpectedly, Nalan Meng is still like this. She leans against the bed and looks weak, but it is obviously much better than that day. For a while, she doesn't know how to speak and stand aside. He asked, "Miss Nalan, how is your injury?"
"With Mr. Raub's concern, it's almost healed, and I can go down and walk around." Seeing that An Ningyu acted like nothing to do with himself, and put on that cold expression of refusal, I don't know why Nalan Meng Getting angry, he deliberately said, "Master An has a lot of things to do every day, how dare I bother you to come and see the little girl?"
As everyone knows, An Ningyu also responded politely, "The purpose is not to see you, but to ask Master Nalan if there is any news about the assassin. He will come in and take a look when he is not free." She would restrain herself a little, but she was still so unruly and self-willed, and it was only aimed at her alone, which made An Ningyu feel speechless.
Hearing her blunt admission that she didn't come to visit him on purpose, Nalan Meng's self-esteem was once again hurt by her success, and she didn't care about the image and said, "Who cares, you go, I don't want to see you."
The blinded Nalan Meng snatched the bowl of medicine in Haitang's hand, and threw it in the direction of Anningyu regardless of Sanqi 21. It hit the ground at his feet and scattered, and the soup splashed on Anningyu's white trousers It was particularly dazzling, An Ningyu frowned and said, "Just leave, it's really inexplicable."
"Mr. Bu, please stop, I have something to ask." Seeing An Ningyu leave without turning his head in anger, the feeling of guilt that was originally a little bit has become a matter of course, "You went out of the city to Suzhou to inquire about Miss Ye, right? Is she really the lady that An Ningyu pointed to her belly for marriage?" Before helping Mo Ni to escape, and nearly killing An Jinyan, Nalan Meng had lingering fears, worried and doing bad things with good intentions, so she also wanted to confirm Ye Fei's identity, besides Another reason she didn't notice was that she became nervous about An Ningyu's movements.
"I can only tell you that there is such a person. As for whether their family really had an agreement with the master, I am not very clear about how Ning Yu plans to deal with it. But, please don't interfere with it, the young master these years. It's not easy for one person to handle so many things, please don't make any trouble." Brown could see that Nalan Meng had brought many potential crises to An Ningyu, at least after he knew that An Ningyu was a woman, he had no doubts about the marriage. The matter became extremely sensitive, and he knew very well that An Ningyu could not get married, otherwise the secret that had been hidden for many years would be exposed, and the consequences would be out of control.
Watching Brown leave, those words lingered in her ears. It turned out that she was not the only one who could feel the loneliness of An Ningyu.In the eyes of others, An Ningyu is the mighty second young master of Anfu, the head of "An Ruixiang" in the future, the proud son of heaven who has no worries about food and clothing after a famous family, but she is burdened with pressure that even an outsider can feel.
After leaving the room, An Ningyu came to the hall, and happened to meet Ji Yu who came to see Nalan Meng, "Brother Ning, why are you here?" After learning that Nalande also intends to recruit Anning Yu as his son-in-law, Ji Yu said She had more scruples and was wary of her appearing in Nalan Mansion.
"Cousin." An Ningyu bowed his hands and saluted, "I came here this time to find out whether Master Nalan has any news about the assassin."
"They are very cunning, and they haven't left any clues. The government has been investigating day and night, and they haven't got a clue for a few days." To be honest, some people dared to break ground on the tiger's head, which made Ji Yu feel a little embarrassed, and his tone was a little angrily. Change the elegance of the past.In An Ningyu's eyes, the reason why he was so angry was because Nalan Meng was hurt and distressed.
"It doesn't matter whether they are coming for me or Ms. Nalan, if they can escape the checkpoints set up by officers and soldiers outside the hunting grounds, sneak in without anyone noticing, they are familiar with the process and have a clear distribution of our personnel. It seems that these assassins are not simple at all." In addition, there is no clue after the incident, and An Ningyu has to suspect that the person who planned all this has been planning for a long time.
"You suspect that there are people in the hunting ground cooperating with others, but who could it be?" Before, Ji Yu did not rule out this possibility, but the people who were invited to participate in the hunting that day were all famous people in the city, and there were many people in the officialdom. There is no direct conflict with Nalan's family and Anfu, so why take the risk of assassinating.
"It's definitely not for money. The assassin wanted to kill us. It's mostly a personal grievance. This makes me more sure that the assassin is most likely targeting me." Speaking of this, An Ningyu seemed to understand why he made a special trip to Nalan Mansion It is true that I want to see Master Nalan discussing the matter. The most important thing is that she is very worried about Nalan Meng's injury. The more she thinks about it, the more she feels that the assassin is after her, because Nalan Meng was hired by Ji Yu temporarily, and she had been injured early in the morning. on the invite list.
"Then I will instruct them to narrow the scope of the investigation, mainly to see who has any grievances with Brother Ning."
"Thank you." In fact, An Ningyu didn't have much hope. In the past few years, her self-willed character has offended many powerful people. Besides, it is not easy for them to check carefully. She often stands by the river There is a reason not to wet your shoes, anyway, just be more careful in the future.
"Whatever you say, they are all my brothers." After the two finished their business, Ji Yu patted An Ningyu on the shoulder and said, "Miss Nalan had an accident recently, and I also remember that I don't have time to take Ji Wu out to play. If it is convenient for Brother Ning, he will take Ji Wu to play around, so that she will not be bored in the mansion by herself."
Here, Ji Yu also seems to have made it clear that he intends to chase after Nalan Meng so that An Ningyu will not get involved, so An Ningyu has no choice but to reply, "Of course."
"Is Miss Ye still at your house?" Ji Yufeng mentioned Ye Fei in a detour.
"Ah."
"What are you going to do with it? You know, my father and king have long regarded you as half of his son, and you must be the county horse. Don't let him down." Matched Ji Wu and An Ning Yu to Ji Yu Saying Baili is harmless, not only saves energy for the future competition for the title, but also loses a strong enemy.
Nalan Meng, who couldn't sit still in the room, came down to the hall with Haitang's support, and happened to hear Ji Yu's last words verbatim. No wonder Brown asked her not to get involved in Ye Fei's matter, and An Ningyu was still reluctant. Acknowledging that marriage contract, he originally wanted to be the county matriarch, "Young Master An hides so deeply, I was really wrong before, why can't I fail to see that you are this kind of person."
Before, she thought that An Ningyu's repeated evasion of her marriage with Ye Fei was due to their lack of affection, but now that she heard Ji Yu's words, she suddenly realized that she was just a snob.The warm words of tranquility disappeared after appearing that night.
Except for Haitang, everyone present understood the meaning of Nalan's dream talk, but it was an indisputable fact. Who would stupidly give up a princess to choose a beggar? Even Ji Yu sympathized with An Ningyu, and walked to Nalan Meng said in front of her, "Miss Nalan, why did you come out? Did the doctor say to move?"
An Ningyu at the side glanced at them and then left without a sound. Who would understand her heart?
