Chapter 1041 Come on, tell me
Ning Jiewei was very troubled because Ning Cangmo always discovered their plans.
Gao Mansion, with its two masters, Gao Ji and Gao Nan, in charge, was safer than Xu Mansion and Ning Mansion. Therefore, Ning Jiewei made a last-minute decision to go to Gao Mansion to discuss the next steps.
The two of them got on a carriage and went to the main gate of the second house of Gao Mansion.
The servant at the door reported that not long ago, Princess Yuexi sent someone over to ask whether the second young lady had returned home.
Qiu Bi spoke after careful consideration.
"The princess knew I was going to Ning Mansion to visit Lan Xiangzhu. It seems that she didn't see me return for a long time, so she hurried to look for me."
Ning Jiewei agreed.
"Sister may have gone to Ning Mansion to ask, and also searched Yuexi Mansion. She couldn't find you anywhere. She must be worried sick, thinking that you have met with an accident again."
"There's no rush to discuss this. Let's go to Yuexi Mansion first to report our safety and reassure our sister."
Fearing that the princess would be worried, Qiu Bi became anxious.
"Okay, Madam, please go first."
After taking two steps, Ning Jiewei stopped when she suddenly thought of something.
"No."
Qiu Bi followed and stopped.
"Why not?"
Ning Jiewei explained the reason.
"I'm trying to help my third sister vent her anger, but I haven't succeeded yet, so I can't meet her for the time being."
"Seeing us traveling together, my sister will definitely ask why. If I accidentally let slip the details of our plan, it would be disastrous."
Qiu Bi's eyes were misty.
"Madam, why did you hide this from the princess?"
Ning Jiewei elaborated.
"Sister values her family, and when she hears about my plan, she will definitely want to help me."
"Once she makes a move, how can I tell whether I care about her or she cares about herself?"
"My sister has suffered so much while trapped in this elegant house. As her younger sister, I must show my care and not add to her troubles."
"If my sister asks you about the plot against Ning Cangmo, you should pretend to be confused and never tell her."
Qiu Bi agreed.
"Well, I won't tell."
"Madam, please come to Nianhe Residence and rest. Your health is very important."
Ning Jiewei smiled.
"Okay, I'll take a break."
"When you come back, be sure to wake me up and we'll continue our plan."
Qiu Bi responded.
"Yes."
After bidding farewell to Ning Jiewei, Qiu Bi hurried back to Yuexi Mansion.
I thought that because of her "disappearance", the mansion was in chaos, but unexpectedly, the mansion was as quiet as usual.
Qiu Bi was puzzled and asked where the princess was, then walked towards the main hall.
After careful consideration of etiquette, Qiu Bi took a seat.
"Princess, don't worry. I'm fine."
Ning Yunxi's face was warm and gentle.
"I'm glad you're okay. I thought I'd put you in danger again."
"I came to you anxiously to ask you something."
Qiu Bi's eyes are clear and bright.
"what's up?"
Ning Yunxi was straightforward.
"Recently, your friendship with Lord Lan has deepened. You have become good friends, and perhaps you have time to talk to each other."
"Did the village head ever say that the person she deeply loves is not Lord Ning?"
Qiu Bi was in trouble.
"Ah? This..."
Thinking back to Madam Huisi's instructions, she was worried and unsure whether the princess's questions were related to the plot against Ning Cangmo.
"It's her private matter, and I can't say anything."
Ning Yunxi understood what he meant.
"That's it."
Qiu Bi was stunned and at a loss when her thoughts were seen through.
Ning Yunxi asked deeply.
"Is the person the village chief is interested in Lord Lin?"
Qiu Bi was startled and stunned.
I didn't say anything, so how could the princess guess?
"Uh……"
Seeing that her expression was different, Ning Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes were filled with worry.
"There are no outsiders here, why are you hesitating?"
Qiu Bi was embarrassed.
"Well..."
Gu Yihe said it all in one sentence.
"Perhaps Madam Mei instructed her to keep her mouth shut to prevent her from revealing their plot to eliminate Lord Ning."
Upon hearing that the prediction was as accurate as a god, Qiu Bi was completely stunned and dared not say a word.
Ning Yunxi told her the story with a pleasant expression.
"I know everything about Fifth Sister's plan. Don't try to hide it. Fighting against my elder brother is extremely dangerous. Once she has rested enough and recovered, I will find her, explain the situation, and persuade her to stop."
"Now, I need to know what Lord Lan thinks."
"You probably don't know, Village Master, that I was originally an informant arranged by His Royal Highness Prince Li in Ning Mansion."
Qiu Bi was surprised.
"what?"
"She is actually His Royal Highness Prince Li's informant?"
Ning Yunxi continued to narrate.
"Prince Li has already pledged his loyalty to Prince Dijin, so the village chief is naturally on his side."
"If she is trying to please others and stay in Ning Mansion, I must help her escape from this place of suffering."
"Don't listen to Fifth Sister's advice. Saving the village chief is the most important thing. Tell me what's going on quickly."
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Bi spoke.
"The village master's situation is particularly pitiful. Since he has to accompany Lord Ning..."
Tong Zhe listened carefully, and felt a dull pain in his heart.
I thought she was living a happy life, so I suppressed my worries and didn't disturb her.
Unexpectedly, her situation was so pitiful.
Gu Yihe expressed her opinion.
"I think the village chief doesn't admire Lord Lin, but respects him."
"She has respect for him because Lord Lin has been kind to her, and she is grateful for his kindness. This has nothing to do with love."
Qiu Bi was confused.
"Your Highness, do you mean that the person the village master truly admires is still Lord Ning?"
Gu Yihe talked freely.
"Mr. Ning, you are just a chess piece in the game, not worthy of the village master's attention."
"Just now, after listening to Shopkeeper Tong's description of how harmoniously they get along, I concluded that the village chief has a secret crush on Shopkeeper Tong without realizing it."
Ning Yunxi smiled faintly.
"I also feel that the village chief treats Manager Tong very differently. He must be showing some affection for him."
Tongzhe lost his usual confidence and became timid and humble.
"You two are so kind."
"The village master and I have only known each other for a short time. How can I express my feelings?"
"The Prince Chen's Mansion fell into decline, so I spent a large sum of money to keep her in Bingqing Garden and teach her how to be a host. She was kind to me, perhaps out of gratitude."
"Otherwise, how could she bear to leave me and live in Ning Mansion? During that time, we almost lost contact. She never asked about my affairs. It was as if we were strangers."
Ning Yunxi comforted her.
"Please don't be depressed, Manager Tong."
"I'm not joking. The village chief may indeed be attracted to you."
She looked at Qiu Bi.
"Did the village head ever mention Manager Tong during your conversations?"
Qiu Bi recalled and then answered.
“I don’t think it was mentioned.”
Tong Zhe is even more inferior.
"I hope the princess can help bring Lord Lin and the village chief together and fulfill the village chief's wish."
Gu Yihe disagreed.
"Manager Tong is wrong."
"She didn't mention it, but that actually shows that she cares about you."
"Otherwise, why would he deliberately not mention you? The answer is obvious. The village chief is afraid that mentioning you would reveal his true feelings."
Tong Zhe pointed out the unreasonableness.
"Your Highness just said that the village master has secret feelings for me but is unaware of them. Why is he afraid of being discovered?"
Gu Yihe explained.
"People's actions are mostly subconscious. She can't see into her own heart, and it doesn't mean that her words and actions are consistent."
"Deep down in her heart, she knew who she was in love with, and thus, she unconsciously acted in love."
Tongzhe still has a low self-esteem.
"Your Highness's words are not without reason, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the reason she didn't mention me is that she simply couldn't remember me."
Gu Yihe suddenly had an idea.
"Why not test your sincerity? Shopkeeper Tong will then know who Country Lord Lan truly admires..."
