Chapter 149 - 149:149. Sister misses you so much (part one update)

Su Liang laughed outright.

Indeed. Back in Bei’an County, when Ning Jing went to take the exam, Su Liang prepared food for her, saying it felt like sending her son to sit for the National College Entrance Exam.

And now she was complaining that Ning Jing was being bossy like an old father.

“What do you think I really am like?” Ning Jing asked. She had let Su Liang say anything she wanted, one moment being like a son and another like a father? Could it still be possible?

Su Liang coughed lightly, “To be serious, we are brothers.”

As they walked, Ning Jing suddenly said, “If you don’t like me meddling in your affairs, just tell me.”

Su Liang shook her head, “No, I was just joking. We are living together, supporting each other, and taking care of each other, as we should. I just didn’t realize Lian Shun had feelings for me. If it’s true, I would have to use you as a shield to discourage him, just the same. But your behavior today… is too childish.”

Ning Jing snorted lightly, “Childish like your father?”

Su Liang was rendered speechless.

As they walked, Ning Jing asked again, “Why discourage Lian Shun? Just because you’re young?

Su Liang shook her head, “My physical age is indeed too young, but my mental age is older than all of you. That is a reason, but not the whole thing. I think his personality is quite good, and if his character is not a problem, he can be a friend. But love is not something I want to think about right now, no matter who it is, I would discourage it.”

“What if someone makes you fall in love?” Ning Jing asked.

Su Liang laughed, “Well, that would be a different story. I haven’t experienced love in either of my two lifetimes, so I’m looking forward to it. If there really is such a person, I might even take the initiative to pursue them.”

“What if they refuse?” Ning Jing asked.

Su Liang said with a smile, “If they don’t agree, so be it! The next person will be even better!”

Ning Jing nodded, “I’m looking forward to it. Which man will be able to make you fall in love.”

Su Liang laughed lightly, “I’m more curious about which girl will make the great Ning feel mortal love.”

When Lian Shun returned to the Fifth Prince’s Mansion, he went straight to

Duanmu Che.

Duanmu Che had just taken his medicine and felt groggy, about to lie down to rest. Seeing Lian Shun coming in, he sat up again and asked, ‘You’re already back? Were you rejected?”

Lian Shun shook his head and sat down beside the bed, holding his arms, lost in thought.

“Are you trapped by love?” Duanmu Che frowned.

Lian Shun knocked on Duanmu Che’s forehead, “What do you know about love traps? We’re grown-ups, what’s there to be stuck about? I just feel that I know too little about her to know how to pursue her.”

Lian Shun nodded, “On this point, I agree with you, but not completely. She does have a secret, but it’s definitely not that she’s being controlled by someone and acting as a spy.”

“What do you want to do?” Duanmu Che asked.

Lian Shun pushed Duanmu Che down, “What are you meddling in, Little Cheche? Hurry up and sleep! Oh right, that thing we talked about earlier, proceed as planned!”

“What thing?” Duanmu Che asked.

“On the day of the Military Exam finals, verify Nian Ruxue and Su Xiaoliang’s identities.” Lian Shun stood up.

Duanmu Che hesitated, “Didn’t you say Su Liang is real…?” His eyes narrowed,

“Could it be that Nian Ruxue is fake?”

“Aren’t you a patriot who hates spies the most? The opportunity to prove yourself has arrived!” Lian Shun grinned.

“Su Liang said Nian Ruxue is fake? How did she know?” Duanmu Che asked.

Lian Shun seemed deep in thought, “According to Old Huang, that day at

Huguo Temple, Su Xiaoliang hit that lewd Duanmu Ao, and as a result, Nian Ruxue was given as a marriage prize to Duanmu Ao the next day. Something must have happened between them, and it must be Nian Ruxue who was in the wrong!”

“With no evidence, you’re really blinded by Su Liang!” Duanmu Che said.

“Evidence? It’s easy, just wait for you to find out. Su Xiaoliang relied on her true ability to participate in the Military Exam. If Nian Ruxue is impersonated, which greedy person would resort to any means, and not be obvious at a glance?” Lian Shun snorted.

Duanmu Che’s drowsiness surged and he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Lian Shun scratched his head, “Su Xiaoliang is too mysterious, and that Ning Jing, he’s just rich and very good-looking, what’s there to be smug about? I wish I had known earlier to join the Military Exam too! I always feel that something is odd about those two…”

As Nian Ruxue rose to fame in the Military Exam, Second Prince Duanmu Ao grew even more enthusiastic about her, visiting her at the Nian Family every now and then.

The members of the Nian Family naturally didn’t dare to stop him, and had to take care of him carefully.

Today, when the servant reported that Duanmu Ao had arrived again, Nian Ruxue’s face changed drastically.

But when Duanmu Ao saw Nian Ruxue, she changed her previous polite and distant demeanor, dressing up carefully and smilingly stepping forward to salute.

Duanmu Ao quickly dismissed the servant and entered the room alone with Nian Ruxue.

“You’ve figured it out?” Duanmu Ao’s gaze was deep and mysterious, as he fixed his eyes on Nian Ruxue’s chest, his throat rolling.

Nian Ruxue smiled softly, “Second Prince, what kind of tea would you like to drink?”

“Beauty tea.” Duanmu Ao said, reaching out to embrace Nian Ruxue.

Nian Ruxue dodged and saw Duanmu Ao’s face darken. She hurriedly explained, ‘When marrying into the royal family, anyone’s body must be inspected beforehand. If they find out I am not pure, I’d have no face left to live.”

Duanmu Ao’s expression lightened slightly, “Fine, the wedding date is approaching soon.”

Nian Ruxue was somewhat surprised that Duanmu Ao gave up so easily. But she didn’t know that he suddenly thought about his physical frailty. He still had lustful desires but couldn’t let people find out about his hidden illness before taking her as his wife…

“Second Prince, with Su Liang around, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance to become the top scholar.” Nian Ruxue mentioned Su Liang.

Duanmu Ao’s expression turned cold, “That little bitch! She should have been ground to dust back then!”

Nian Ruxue sighed softly, “But now, who knows what kind of adventure she has had, she has completely transformed herself, becoming so formidable. I’m worried that she returned to the capital city to investigate the cause of the Su Family’s deaths. We all know that the Su Family committed suicide out of fear, but Su Liang may not think so. She dared to attack the Second Prince before, and she doesn’t bear good intentions!”

Duanmu Ao grabbed Nian Ruxue’s hand and forcefully pulled her onto his lap with a surprised cry.

“You want to use me to eliminate Su Liang before the final competition, don’t you?” Duanmu Ao sneered coldly.

Nian Ruxue’s smile was unnatural, “It would be beneficial for both of us.” Duanmu Ao laughed heartily, “I never expected this side of you! I like it!”

“Then…” Nian Ruxue stiffened her body, forcing herself to bear the discomfort, smiling gently and charmingly.

Duanmu Ao’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, “You don’t need to say it, I have already arranged everything for this matter! This time, she will undoubtedly die!”

Su Liang and Ning Jing stayed at Wan Hui’s house for half a day. Su Liang thought it was time to leave, but heard Ning Jing say, “You didn’t want to cook recently, didn’t you? Why don’t we stay at Zhengzheng’s house for a couple of days. ”

The most unexpected was Wan Hui.

She had already prepared rooms for Su Liang and Ning Jing, but they had never stayed before.

Su Liang guessed the reason and said with a smile, “That’s great, then we’ll mooch off Sister Wan’s house.”

Zhengzheng found out that he could sleep with Ning Jing tonight and cheered jubilantly.

Wan Hui instructed the maids to clean Su Liang and Ning Jing’s rooms again.

When Wan Hui and her husband Lu Yu left and Zhengzheng was playing by himself, Su Liang took the opportunity to ask Ning Jing in a low voice, “Who?”

Ning Jing looked at Zhengzheng and said, “Lu Yu.”

Su Liang frowned, “Is Li San going to kidnap the child again?”

Ning Jing could see the black fog in the center of Lu Yu’s brow, but his wife and child were by his side, and his days were peaceful. It was impossible for him to suddenly want to kill someone. That meant someone wanted to kill him or not just target him alone. But his life was in danger within three days.

The most likely person to target Lu Yu was Li Family Patriarch Li Chen.

If Li Chen firmly believed that Zhengzheng was his own flesh and blood, he would hate Lu Yu to the core, as well as Wan Hui, and Su Liang, who had ruined the blood test back then.

Moreover, Wan Hui mentioned two days ago that the partnership of Wan, Ning and Yan families had caused major problems for the Li family’s business. Ning Jing brought back Su Liang’s medicine box and the books they wanted to read.

Su Liang prepared herself to stay up all night.

Zhengzheng was tumbling on Ning Jing’s bed when he heard someone

Imocking on the door. He giggled and asked, “Who is it?”

There was no sound from outside, and Ning Jing walked over and opened the door, looking slightly startled.

Zhengzheng’s eyes sparkled as he called out, “Mom!”

“Wan Hui” entered the room, and there was no flaw in her demeanor, gait, or voice. “Why isn’t the baby asleep yet?”

“Playing with Uncle Ning!” Zhengzheng said.

But Ning Jing saw at a glance that this was Su Liang in disguise, because she didn’t change her clothes or hairstyle.

Just talking about the face, Su Liang’s disguise technique was indeed not bad, and it was unrecognizable at first glance.

Su Liang went to the bedside and hugged Zhengzheng who jumped into her arms. Zhengzheng sniffed, “Mom’s smell changed.”

Su Liang returned to her original voice, “Where did it change?

Zhengzheng widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at Su Liang, “Auntie?! “. He touched Su Liang’s face with his small hand, looking very puzzled, “It’s Mom!”

Su Liang laughed, “I’m fake.”

“It’s really Auntie! Auntie turned into Mom’s appearance!” Zhengzheng’s face was full of astonishment, “How did Auntie change? Can you change me to look like Uncle Ning?”

Su Liang nodded, “Of course, but we’ll have to wait until Zhengzheng grows up a bit, you are too young now.” She didn’t want to use medicine on a child’s face.

“That’s amazing!” Zhengzheng exclaimed again, “Auntie is the most powerful in the world!”

Su Liang played with Zhengzheng for a while more before returning to her room next door, without removing her disguise.

Before going to sleep, Zhengzheng was still telling Ning Jing that his aunt must be a fairy.

That night was calm and peaceful, with no incidents.

Su Liang stayed up all night, only going to bed when it was almost dawn. When she woke up, it was already late morning.

Since Su Liang and Ning Jing were around, Wan Hui and Lu Yu didn’t go out.

Wan Hui had the servants prepare breakfast and brought it to Su Liang, seeing the redness in her eyes, she advised her to sleep early at night and read during the day instead.

“Once I start reading a book, I always want to finish it all at once, otherwise, it’s always on my mind,” Su Liang said with a smile. “I’ll be more careful next time. Where are they?”

“They are all fishing in the garden!” Wan Hui laughed. “Zhengzheng said that his Uncle Ning likes to eat fish, so he wants to catch a big fish for him.”

Su Liang had removed her disguise before going to bed, so Wan Hui didn’t see it, but she heard about it from Zhengzheng and asked.

“I’ve been practicing disguise techniques recently, just playing with Zhengzheng last night, ” Su Liang said.

They couldn’t tell them about the danger Lu Yu was in because they couldn’t explain how she and Ning Jing had gotten the information.

“You’re really amazing!” Wan Hui exclaimed.

During their conversation, they brought up Yang Yu. In Wan Hui’s letter to Su Liang before the new year, she said she would come to the capital city after the new year, but she still hadn’t arrived. They wondered if she had encountered any trouble.

“I sent someone to the Yang Family at the beginning of the month with a letter. She should be back soon,” Wan Hui said. “Don’t worry too much, maybe she’s too busy with her business and hasn’t found time to leave. Yang’s sister is not like me who only manages a few shops in the capital city. She has to manage the huge Yang Family business. It must be very hard.”

By the time Su Liang finished her breakfast and went to the Garden Lake, she saw two adults and a child wearing straw hats fishing.

Zhengzheng was sitting upright, holding a small fishing rod that Ning Jing had made specially for him, looking very professional.

“Auntie has turned back into auntie!” Zhengzheng giggled.

Su Liang smiled, “Next time, I’ll turn your mother into me.”

Approaching noon, a guest arrived, who was now Little Monk Cheng Yun from Huguo Temple.

Previous time Wan Hui went to Huguo Temple, she wanted to bring back some vegetarian dishes, but there were none available at that time.

Today, Cheng Yun had specially brought some vegetarian dishes and took the opportunity to visit Zhengzheng.

“Little Yun Uncle!” Seeing Cheng Yun’s bald head appear, Zhengzheng called him happily.

Cheng Yun didn’t expect both Su Liang and Ning Jing to be there.

Wan Hui wanted to find a fishing rod for Cheng Yun to join them fishing.

Cheng Yun waved his hands repeatedly, “This monk is a man of religion; it is not appropriate.”

Fishing was for eating, which was a behavior of killing.

“Little Yun Uncle, I want to catch a big fish for Uncle Ning to eat! Little Yun Uncle, you eat too!” Zhengzheng’s little face was serious.

Cheng Yun kept chanting “Amitabha.”

“Thank you for the vegetarian dishes, I was just thinking about it. I’ll send you out, don’t make it hard for you to see this scene,” Su Liang said.

As if receiving amnesty, Cheng Yun bid farewell to Wan Hui and insisted that Su Liang didn’t have to send him off.

Still, Su Liang accompanied him out and asked him on the way, “Are you an orphan?”

Cheng Yun nodded, “Yes, someone left me at the temple gate, and my master picked me up.”

“Is it because you grew up in the temple that you naturally became a monk? Has your master ever said that you should devote yourself to Buddhist Dharma for the rest of your life?” Su Liang asked.

Cheng Yun shook his head, “No.”

“Has your master ever mentioned that you should return to lay life?” Su Liang continued.

Cheng Yun sighed lightly, “He has mentioned it, but he has not asked me to do so. He told me that no matter what, I should always stay true to myself.”

“Do you think being a monk is the most suitable path for you?” Su Liang asked.

Cheng Yun nodded, “Yes.”

“But if your Buddha nature wavers in the future, don’t be troubled and just follow your heart,” Su Liang said meaningfully.

Cheng Yun realized that Su Liang’s words had a hidden meaning. Initially, he thought she was trying to persuade him to return to lay life, but she didn’t.

As she watched Cheng Yun leave, Su Liang turned to walk back. She said those words because she thought of Yan Shiba when she saw Cheng Yun. Not that she thought Cheng Yun would end up with Yan Shiba, but she had a feeling that the handsome little monk would have some romantic entanglements someday. She hoped he wouldn’t take it too hard.

Zhengzheng didn’t catch any fish, but both Ning Jing and Lu Yu caught one each.

Su Liang, who stayed because she didn’t want to cook, made delicious crispy fried fish nuggets, which Zhengzheng and Ning Jing both loved.

After tasting it, Wan Hui thought that her restaurant could add a new dish.

In the afternoon, Ning Jing went alone to the Prince’s Mansion to give Duanmu Che a treatment.

Lian Shun said he had been to the Su Mansion, but no one else was there.

Ning Jing said that he and Su Liang were staying at a friend’s house these days. When Lian Shun asked when Su Liang would return home, Ning Jing also said, before the finals.

Lian Shun still felt something was off. He thought Ning Jing should have noticed his feelings for Su Liang, but to say Ning Jing had hostility towards him? Not at all. Although cold, he is very polite, and Lian Shun could always get a response when talking to Ning Jing, it seemed like Ning Jing treated everyone this way.

Compared to Duanmu Che, Ning Jing had much better manners…

That night, Ning Jing still slept with Zhengzheng, and Su Liang disguised herself as Wan Hui again.

The danger to Lu Yu finally arrived at the deepest part of the night when everyone was sound asleep.

Su Liang had not slept for two nights straight, and neither had Ning Jing, who hid in an old cypress tree near Lu Yu and Wan Hui’s lodging.

On the other side was Su Liang and Ning Jing’s courtyard, not far away.

Seeing someone approaching, Ning Jing threw a stone from his hand, hitting the stone table in Su Liang’s yard with precision.

Upon receiving the signal, Su Liang immediately got up and rushed out!

There were four people, all dressed in black and wearing masks, with a fierce killing intent.

Lu Yu was awakened by the sounds of fighting outside, hastily got up, leaving Wan Hui to hide and warning her not to come out.

When Lu Yu came out, he recognized Su Liang by her figure.

However, the assailants saw Su Liang’s face and thought she was Wan Hui, not realizing their plan had encountered unexpected resistance.

Two of them attacked Su Liang while the other two rushed towards Lu Yu.

Wan Family’s guards heard the commotion and came over as well.

Ning Jing aimed a homemade sleeve arrow at the back of the man fighting Lu Yu and fired!

By the time the man noticed, his body had already been pierced through.

The other three looked towards the tree where Ning Jing was hiding, and one of the two who were attacking Su Liang went over to deal with Ning Jing.

Ning Jing didn’t move from his spot or fire any more sleeve arrows. The man approached the old cypress tree, and moments later, he fell from the tree and crashed onto the ground!

Ning Jing had dealt with two of them, and the remaining two were rather powerful.

Su Liang could still manage, but Lu Yu was struggling, and soon he got injured.

Ning Jing fired another sleeve arrow, hitting Lu Yu’s opponent’s shoulder, weakening their strength significantly.

A quarter of an hour later, everything returned to calm.

After killing the third person, Su Liang went to help Lu Yu and knocked out the fourth.

Then all the guards left.

Lu Yu looked at the old cypress tree, but Ning Jing had already gone down, accompanying Zhengzheng to sleep.

“He couldn’t sleep, so he went out to admire the moon and noticed something was wrong and called me,” said Su Liang, “I hadn’t slept either, and was practicing my Disguise Technique.”

Although Lu Yu thought it was a bit too coincidental, he didn’t think much about it, “Thanks to you guys being here. My martial arts skills are still too weak.”

Wan Hui, still in shock, came out of the room and saw Su Liang’s face, she hesitated, “Xiaoliang, are you alright?”

Su Liang shook her head, “I’m fine, he’s injured. Zhengzheng is sleeping there, he doesn’t know anything. You guys need to interrogate this one left alive. If he was sent by Li Chen, he was definitely here to kill you and take the child.” Wan Hui and Lu Yu’s faces both turned ugly.

“The one thing you don’t lack is money, so why not hire Yanyun Building’s assassins, and kill Li Chen as soon as possible? Otherwise, he will do everything to kill you in his quest to steal the child,” Su Liang said. Wan Hui’s eyes flashed with determination, “Alright!”

Su Liang went back to her room, removed her disguise, and tried to sleep.

When she approached the bed, she noticed something was wrong.

Su Liang’s eyes were alert, she was about to draw her knife when a hand pulled open the bed curtain, and someone leaped towards Su Liang, “Xiaoliang, sister missed you so much!”
