Initially, she thought that Nangong Qingyao would not come again when she returned, but things were completely out of Nangong Ning’s expectations. Nangong Qingyao came again and this time, she was not empty-handed.
She gave Nangong Ning a set of red jade noodles.
The housekeeper asked someone to carry the box in. Nangong Ning asked someone to open it and was instantly stunned by the beautiful jewelry inside.
Aunt Duan was the one beside the Empress. She had seen many good things and nodded when she saw it. “The quality of this jade is excellent. The craft of this noodle is also superior.”
Nangong Ning also thought it was pretty. Although it was a little too gorgeous, it should be worth a lot of money.
The housekeeper explained, “This is what Nangong concubine said to give to Miss Nangong. Kang, do you want to accept it?”
Nangong Ning subconsciously glanced at Aunt Duan. Aunt Duan sat by the table with a gentle smile and did not say anything.
Nangong Ning’s heart moved and he smiled. “Don’t do it for free. I accept it.”
The housekeeper responded and asked, “Then Nangong concubine’s side.”
“Where did you come from?” Nangong Ning smirked coldly and said without thinking.
The housekeeper responded and turned to leave.
By the front door of the mansion, even though she had mentally prepared herself, Nangong Qingyao still felt her heart sink when she heard the housekeeper’s words.
She clenched her fists tightly and suppressed her anger. She didn’t say anything else but thanked the housekeeper before turning to leave.
She couldn’t do it once but twice. She didn’t believe that the b*tch Nangong Ning was so shameless.
Soon, Nangong Ning opened a box of sea beads.
The pieces were round and the size was the same.
Nangong Ning was shocked.
Aunt Duan also nodded and said, “This box of pearls is not bad for the Imperial Consort to be an accessory in the future.”
Nangong Ning didn’t have much expectations for this, but she was shocked by Nangong Qingyao’s generosity.
“Consort, this servant heard that it was Nangong concubine who married on behalf of her sister. She took the princess’s original dowry and married into the Eastern Palace?” Aunt Duan suddenly asked with interest.
Nangong Ning was a little surprised by how Aunt Duan knew this, but he still nodded and said, “Yes, those dowry did follow Nangong Qingyao into the Eastern Palace.”
She guessed that with Jun Zixuan’s personality, dowry was probably one of the important reasons why he was willing to marry Nangong Qingyao.
Aunt Duan smiled and said coldly, “In that case, the consort will take this opportunity to bring back all the dowry.”
Nangong Ning blinked and looked at Aunt Duan.
This Aunt Duan is amazing, she likes it!
“Aunty says that, that’s how it is. Butler, go tell Nangong concubine that since she wants to send her, let’s send them all at once, every time, I’m tired!” Nangong Ning immediately ordered.
The housekeeper didn’t care if there were any twists and turns during this period, so she went back to Nangong Qingyao.
Nangong Qingyao was stunned. What did she mean by sending them all at once? However, she quickly understood that Nangong Ning was taking the opportunity to return to the ones she had taken before. It should be referring to the dowry she had brought to the Eastern Palace back then.
Nangong Ning was too ruthless!
However, Nangong Qingyao felt that Nangong Ning was ruthless, so she couldn’t consider her words carefully.
She returned to the East Palace and wanted to discuss with Jun Zixuan, but Jun Zixuan was not there. His personal attendant also said that Jun Zixuan might not come back at night.
Nangong Qingyao’s heart sank when she heard this. She wanted to find Jun Zixuan to give her an idea, but Jun Zixuan only came back the next day, so she could only make up her mind. Because Jun Zixuan said that he only gave her one day. If today passed and she didn’t finish it, she would never have to go back to the East Palace.
Her heart was cold and Nangong Qingyao didn’t dare to think anymore. She turned around and walked back to her yard.
After entering the courtyard, she called her attendant and ordered them to pack up everything in her private room.
She thought about it and made her decision.
If she couldn’t return to the Eastern Palace, it would be a devastating blow to her. She was not afraid that there would be no firewood. As long as she could complete what had happened today, it was necessary to lose something today.
The maid was frightened by Nangong Qingyao and wanted to ask more questions, but Nangong Qingyao was annoyed because she didn’t have much time. She just told them to shut up.
When Nangong Qingyao married in, some of the dowry had been taken away by Jun Zixuan. However, the items, including gold and silver jewelry, were still left in Nangong Qingyao’s private bank.
Of course, Jun Zixuan also had the idea of these things, but it was not long after Nangong Qingyao entered the house. He didn’t want to eat too ugly, so he didn’t move.
Nangong Qingyao used half an hour to move everything that could be carried into a carriage. Then she sat in another carriage and two carriages drove to Prince Regent.
When they arrived at Prince Regent, the butler of the Citadel seemed to have been prepared long ago. Without saying anything, he counted all the items and carried them into the mansion.
Nangong Ning had already ordered, so the housekeeper asked someone to carry everything into the warehouse of the mansion.
She endured the feeling of pain as she watched the people from the Citadel carry everything in. Nangong Qingyao took a step forward and quietly gritted her teeth. She tried to ease her tone and asked, “Butler, can I enter?”
“Enter?” The housekeeper was instructing someone when she heard her words and looked at Nangong Qingyao with surprise.
Nangong Qingyao felt a buzzing sound in her head, but she still endured her uneasiness and flattered her, “Yeah, I want to see Nangong… Miss, this thing has been moved in. I don’t miss it. Can I go in and see it…”
“Wait a minute,” the housekeeper interrupted Nangong Qingyao and said with a serious expression, “Nangong concubine, this old man has never heard of what you said. Namef4 just told me to send it all over once. Apart from that, Miss Nangong has no other instructions.
Nangong Qingyao’s face was pale and her body was topple. She felt like she had been blown up by lightning as her mind was buzzing.
“Then… Then, can you trouble the housekeeper to inform me again?” Nangong Qingyao didn’t want to accept the cruel truth, so she still had to struggle.
The housekeeper looked at her strangely. In the end, when Nangong Qingyao was about to collapse, she still responded and asked her to wait.
Nangong Qingyao forced an ugly smile on her pale face.
She hoped that everything wasn’t what she thought. Nangong Ning wasn’t messing with her. She hoped that it wasn’t like that. If that was the case, she had to die!
Nangong Ning couldn’t be so ruthless. She had always been the foolish and kind witch who let her and her mother, Yang Shi, deceive!
She comforted herself over and over again in her heart. Finally, she saw the housekeeper come out again.
Nangong Qingyao quickly made her expression look normal. She stepped forward and smiled at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper said softly, 'sorry, Nangong concubine, Miss Nangong is currently learning etiquette with Aunt Khai. She has no time to see Nangong Momef4.”
“Bang!” Nangong Qingyao heard the scariest sentence. She shook her body and retreated backwards. She felt a sweetness in her throat and a mouthful of blood spilled out!
“Mother concubine!” The maid beside her supported Nangong Qingyao.
Nangong Qingyao finally glanced at Prince Regent’s door.
Nangong Ning was really messing with her!
In despair, his vision darkened, his eyes closed, and he completely lost consciousness.
“You fainted after vomiting blood?” Nangong Ning raised his eyebrows with surprise after listening to the housekeeper’s report.
Aunt Duan smiled disdainfully. “With this little ability, you still want to bully the princess.”
Nangong Ning wanted to say that in the past, she had really bullied “her”, but now that the shell had changed, she was not the one to bully.
On this day, Nangong Qingyao acted as a ‘farce’ in the Regent’s Royal Consort. The people in the Citadel didn’t take it seriously. When she fainted, she only asked Nangong Qingyao’s maid to take her away. Although they were from the East Palace, the people in the Eastern Palace didn’t dare to find trouble in front of the Regent’s Gate, so they quickly dispersed.
In this regard, Nangong Ning ignored Nangong Qingyao’s ending.
At night, she decided to take the initiative to find Jun Qianye.
It happened in front of Prince Regent and Jun Qianye wouldn’t know, but before he could ask, she would take the initiative to explain herself. She should let Jun Qianye feel her sincerity, right?
Of course, Nangong Ning didn’t know what she wanted to do when she was in front of Jun Qianye.
When she reached Jun Qianye’s study, Wei Chu happened to come out. When he saw her, his eyes paused for a moment and said directly, “The prince is inside.”
Nangong Ning nodded and smiled at him gratefully. He took the dress and walked forward quietly.
“Is there something you need?” As she reached the door, she heard someone ask.
Nangong Ning put on a clever smile and walked in.
In the study, Jun Qianye was sitting in front of the case and seriously reading a booklet.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, the beauty of Jun Qianye’s long eyelashes could make people breathe tight. Nangong Ning secretly swallowed his saliva.
She calmed down and asked, “Does the prince know what happened during the day?”
Jun Qianye didn’t raise her head but let out an “Mhm.”
Nangong Ning thought to himself that his decision was correct.
“Grandfather Wang, even though I pitted Nangong Qingyao and sent her off, I don’t think it’s that simple. Moreover, when Nangong Qingyao was dragged out earlier that morning, she even shouted something.”
“What are you saying?” Jun Qianye’s tone could not hear any emotions.
Nangong Ning was a little excited just now, but his reaction was too faint.
However, she still said, “She shouted at the time that I wanted to marry the prince. At that time, she didn’t finish shouting. I don’t know what she was going to say, but I don’t feel that simple.”
