Chapter Three Objectives
This thing Ning Xianbi naturally knew long ago, but in her previous life she had never had any thoughts about it, so she let the ready-made opportunity slip away.
Now reborn as a human being, she has already undergone a metamorphosis and been reborn. The return of Ning San's old master is of great significance to her.
"Grandfather's long-lost brother?" she asked in a soft voice. "It's strange, how did he find his way here? Grandfather is already gone, what can he do now that he's back?"
Yu smiled and said, "It can't be said like that. After all, we are one family. If we are separated, how can we not feel sad? Your grandfather used to mention this brother when he was alive. Who would have thought that this time your eldest uncle actually found him? This is truly the blessing of our ancestors. The young masters of the Ning family should not be wandering outside. Now, you should also drink your medicine obediently and recover your body as soon as possible, so that you can go pay respects to your third grandfather later."
Ning Xian thought that it was natural to meet him, not only to meet but also to get along well with him. As she pondered in her heart, the room suddenly fell silent.
In a moment, the maids and servant girls all brought over food, medicine, and soup. Ning Finbi took some of each, saying she was sleepy. Yu Shi hastily put her down, covered her with a small quilt, and sat beside her, smiling lovingly as she gazed at her, humming that lullaby she used to hear when she was young.
Ning Fengbi closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep. Before long, Yu Shi's voice stopped, and the soft footsteps started again. It was someone who had left, and Ning Fengbi heard her instructing the maidservants outside the room to take good care of her. The footsteps gradually faded away, and Ning Fengbi finally let out a sigh of relief.
What's going on here?
Finally able to calm down and think carefully about these things, unexpectedly, she recalled the message brought by Bai Cai Zhi's personal maid from her previous life before her death. At that time, her life was already at an end, and she didn't feel much, but now thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
Shen Qianshan is the Taizi's bosom friend, and they are about the same age. He is also the Taizi's cousin, so the Shen family has always been firmly **.
In the previous life, Rong Ning was confined to her home, but she often heard that the Empress Dowager and her son were not at peace. The sixth prince was not inferior to the Crown Prince in terms of literary and military strategy, and his family's power was no less than that of the Crown Prince. It is unknown why the Emperor seemed to be indifferent to the struggle for power between these two factions, and even deliberately allowed them to fight for power and interests.
All along, **the forces on this side have been slightly stronger**.
Because of Shen Qianshan, he was a famous general of the Daqing dynasty. In his own death three years ago, he went on an expedition to the border and returned triumphantly a year later. The emperor rewarded him with countless rewards, except for the title of Wang Ye, which he desperately refused, other rewards filled the four major warehouses of the Wang Fu.
How could such a brilliant and promising young man, a pillar of the state and a pride of heaven, suddenly be put under house arrest?
Ning Feng remembered that until his own death, Shen Qianshan was always one of the emperor's most favored and respected juniors, no less than a junior, due to the relationship between the Grand Princess and the Empress Dowager, the Emperor did not treat him as an ordinary subject.
It's just that such a junior who was treated like a child or nephew, was actually arrested and put under house arrest. What kind of huge crime is this? For the Wang family, this is a disaster, right? Why did it happen? How did Shen Qianshan offend the emperor? He actually brought about such a huge calamity.
Could it be... Could the Emperor want to change the Crown Prince?
With a cry, Ning Fengbi suddenly sat up in bed, her small hands clenched into fists.
That's right, apart from this, there is nothing else that can explain this sudden disaster: Shen Qianshan is not only the emperor's trusted minister, but also **'s pillar. The emperor's move against him is to remove the wings of the crown prince and support the sixth prince in power. Perhaps, after the Shen family suffered a disaster, even the crown prince and the empress would not be able to escape?
She furrowed her brow, although she had never left the house, but as for the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince's affairs, she had also heard some rumors in her previous life.
Although Shen Qianshan is indifferent to himself, there is no doubt that he is a great husband who is loyal to his family and country. The crown prince also has a moderate and peaceful personality, while the sixth prince seems to be somewhat ruthless and extreme in rumors.
To support such a prince and abandon the original crown prince is obviously unwise.
Ning Xian had never seen the emperor a few times in her life, and naturally couldn't guess his mindset. She just felt that such a wise and intelligent monarch shouldn't make such a muddled decision, or was it true that people became muddled as they got older? But wasn't that old man only in his sixties?
As for the queen, she had seen her before. In her impression, it was a dignified and kind woman. Although the emperor did not dote on her, they had been married for decades and had always been respectful to each other. What reason could have led the emperor to make such a big mistake?
But... no matter what the reason was, she had nothing to do with her again. Ning Fengbi slowly lay back on the bed, closing her eyes tightly: This life, she would never have anything to do with the Shen family again.
In the previous life, under the influence of San Lao Tai Ye, the family slowly faded out of the sight of those courtiers. This life should not be an exception either? Moreover, they are just a small earl's house, even if they don't fade away, it's unlikely that anyone will pay attention to the Ning family.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Feng's heart repeated the goal of this life: to put aside worries and live a joyful, peaceful, carefree and happy life.
It was a four-year-old little girl, although her mind was still very active, but her body was already exhausted, and she slowly fell asleep again. When Ning Fengbi woke up again, the room had already darkened, obviously it was evening.
Haitang quietly walked over, saw Ning Fengbi open her eyes, and smiled with joy: "Miss woke up? I was afraid to scare you. The master just came back, originally wanted to come see you, but was stopped by the madam, since Miss is awake, I'll go tell the master and madam now."
Ning Fengbi watched Haitang's back as she walked away quickly, thinking of her father's kind and gentle face, and her heart couldn't help but surge with emotion: since entering the Wang Manor, due to her weakness, she had very few opportunities to return home each year, to the point where until her death, she hadn't even seen her family members for the last time.
Originally, she only thought that she could recover from her illness, but it wouldn't come to this. But how could she have known that what was on her body wasn't an illness, but rather a chronic poison given to her by that heartless woman?
In an instant, a loud and clear laughter echoed from outside the room, followed by Ning Shi Bo, the third elder of the Ning family, walking in. Seeing Ning Feng sitting on the bed, he went forward and hugged her, while walking towards the outer room, he kissed her little face and chuckled: "Daddy's dear daughter, you scared Daddy to death, it's good that you're awake, from now on Daddy wishes you no illness or disaster, even if it means living ten years less..."
Ning Xi covered Ning Shi Bo's mouth with one hand, struggling to control her urge to cry. Originally, after crossing over, she didn't think Ning Shi Bo's paternal love was particularly hard to come by, as in modern times, her father had also been extremely doting on her, showering her with affection and pampering her excessively.
