Chapter Fifty-two: Sharp Edge

  Bai Cai Zhi was never one to speak much, but at this moment, she couldn't help but sigh beside him: "He's only ten years old, even if he wants to achieve great things, what's the hurry?"

  For the past two years, Shen Qianshan had become familiar with several young masters of the Ning family and often visited their manor to repay Ning De Rong for treating the eldest princess's illness. As a result, he would visit the earl's manor seven or eight times a year, occasionally stopping by to pay his respects to Old Lady Jiang and was acquainted with her sisters, although they didn't often speak, they were familiar with each other.

  Upon hearing Ning Che Bao say this, several girls became even more worried, and Ning Xian Yu also said: "It's said that on the battlefield, knives and guns have no eyes. Those Tartars are tall and big, riding horses, how formidable! Third Master is a precious treasure, shouldn't he be in a position where he wouldn't personally go to the front lines to kill enemies?"

  As soon as the words fell, Ning Xianhe said decisively: "Absolutely not, a young master of a wealthy family cannot be humiliated like this. What is his status? And he's only ten years old, who dares to put him on the battlefield?"

  The sisters were discussing something happily, when suddenly they heard a "heh" of laughter. Turning their heads to look, it was Ning Xianqiao, who had not spoken until then. Hearing her chuckling, Ning Xianyue couldn't help but add a few points of annoyance, and said in a sharp voice: "Sister, what are you laughing at?"

  Ning Xianqiao smiled and said, "I'm laughing at my sisters for being too idle. How did their hearts wander to a place ten million eight thousand miles away? Since Shen Daren let the third young master go on an expedition, he must have some confidence in him. Could it be that he would let his son die? The third young master is probably fine, but the hearts of my sisters here are in disarray."

  The girls were all blushing and lowering their heads, including Bai Cai Zhi. Although they were still young, they had already developed a subtle awareness of the opposite sex in their hearts. After all, it was common for girls in this era to be betrothed or married at the age of 13 or 14. Even if they didn't fully understand the concept of marriage at this time, they had already formed a vague idea of romance. Whenever the elders mentioned Shen Qian Shan, none of them failed to praise him, and the girls naturally developed a crush on that exceptional young boy.

  At that time, Ning Xian coldly smiled and said: "We are indeed worried about the third young master. Who can compare to sister's purity of heart? At least we have some friendship, even if it's just treating him like a younger brother, we should be worried about him. Sister is really heartless."

  Ning Xian didn't get angry, but instead glanced at Ning Xianbi who was sitting quietly to the side and smiled: "I still said something in the end. If it's true that you're heartless, then who can compare to Sixth Sister? I'm really curious, Sixth Sister, why does San Gongzi treat you differently from others and likes talking to you? Could it be that you truly don't care about his life or death?"

  Her eyelashes drooped, her face expressionless, she said: "Sister these two days are dedicated to refining a medicine, really can't listen to other words, if sisters feel that sister is bored, then sister will leave."

  Bai Cai Zhi hastily pulled her back, smiling softly: "Sixth sister, don't be annoyed, but I don't know which medicine you're referring to? Let us also listen, could it be that you have a mind to make the medicine yourself?"

  Sometimes fate is really speechless, in the previous life, Ning Fengbi was abandoned by Shen Qianshan and killed by Bai Caizhi. After rebirth, she wanted to avoid these two people the most, but God just liked to tease her, every time Shen Qianshan came, no matter how hard she tried to avoid him, he could always find a way to say a few words to her, even if it was just to mock and ridicule her, anyway, these few words had to be said, otherwise it would seem like the task was not completed.

  This Bai Cai Zhi also had to squeeze herself in front of her, if not for considering Jiang Lao Tai Jun's doting on this granddaughter and Ning Yu Lan that aunt, and treating the Yu family and the third house with a different look than before, let alone letting Yu Shi manage the household without any scruples, Ning Shi Bo could also make up his mind to study hard, and Ning Fen Bi would not care about killing off the enemy of the previous life.

  Actually, with her current abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to silently kill Bai Cai Zhi. However, she couldn't bring herself to do it, whether it was because of her kind heart or her merciful nature. Although she had lived two lives, Bai Cai Zhi was still Bai Cai Zhi, but she felt like they were two different people. Perhaps it was because many things had gone wrong, making it impossible for her to confuse this life with the previous one. Or perhaps it was because of the young girl in front of her, who was smaller than herself and suffered loneliness every day. Although she knew Bai Cai Zhi was ruthless and cunning, she still couldn't bring herself to harm her.

  In the end, it had to be like this. Ning Fengbi sighed inwardly and thought to herself, "Forget it, I won't have anything to do with Shen Qianshan again. Let Bai Cai Zhi fight with others, as long as she has nothing to do with me, that's all that matters. After all, she doesn't have a heart as black as Bai Cai Zhi's, who could take someone's life without batting an eyelid."

  Bai Cai Zhi said a sentence, seeing her distracted, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She was clever and naturally able to detect Ning Fen Bi's coldness towards herself. However, compared to the disdainful and contemptuous glances from several sisters, thinking about Ning Fen Bi's attitude towards other sisters, this aloofness made Bai Cai Zhi more at ease, and she was even willing to talk to her. It's just that many times Ning Fen Bi would be lost in thought, and Bai Cai Zhi would end up talking to herself.

  "Sister Liu, cousin is asking you something." Ning Xianluo noticed that Bai Caizhi was uncomfortable and pulled on Ning Xianbi's sleeve.

  "You haven't even touched medicinal herbs, so even if you say something, it's not like anyone would understand. It's just frustrating." Ning Fengbi came back to her senses and said lightly. Although the few girls all showed a look of discontent, they indeed had nothing to say. Medical knowledge isn't something that can be faked with random nonsense.

  Bai Cai Zhi smiled and said: "I've been watching Sixth Sister give Old Lady massages, it seems to be very effective... I was thinking of following her to learn a few moves..." Before she could finish speaking, suddenly there were footsteps outside, "thud thud thud", Bai Cai Zhi was startled and the rest of her words remained unspoken.

  Just then, an old woman rushed in and knelt down with a thud, startling Old Lady Jiang and Madame Curves. Old Lady Jiang loudly asked, "What's going on? Why are you so flustered?" As she spoke, her heart involuntarily skipped a beat.

  "Reporting back to the old lady, ladies, in the palace... someone has passed down an imperial edict saying that... Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill and summoned Third Master to enter the palace to treat her illness. Third Master wants me to ask Sixth Miss to go out with him, saying they need to enter the palace together."

  As soon as Ning Fengbi heard that the Empress Dowager had contracted a strange illness, she knew in her heart: this shocking event had indeed occurred. From then on, the Earl's residence gained many benefits and almost became a Marquis residence, only because the eldest uncle was impeached by the censor for going to the brothel and consorting with prostitutes after getting drunk, so the matter was dropped.

  However, what she didn't expect was that because of this life following Ning De Rong to learn medicine, she also got entangled in this matter, and didn't know if adding herself would have an impact on the history of her previous life.
