“I hope so. Are you going into the palace early tomorrow morning to look for grand empress dowager’s jade pendant?” Ning Yue asked Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying nodded. If it weren’t for the fact that it was inconvenient to go at night, he would have already left.
“In that case, rest early. Go to the palace tomorrow to check on the situation,” Ning Yue said.
Jiang Ying nodded. The two of them continued chatting for a while before returning to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, after Ning Yue woke up, she did not see Jiang Ying again. He must have entered the palace.
Ning Yue brought the two children to the dining room and saw that Old Master Ning did not look too good.
She asked, “Did something happen to Grandpa? 1 think you look a little pale.”
“Do you know? Everyone says that the Grand Empress passed away after visiting our family so it has something to do with our family,” Old Master Ning told Ning Yue.
Ning Yue’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Grandpa, where did you hear that?”
“I was going to go outside in the morning for exercise, but I didn’t expect to hear those people whispering behind my back.”
“I vaguely heard the Ning family, so I went forward to eavesdrop. 1 didn’t expect them to really be talking about our family. They actually pinned such a big crime on us. They’re really cruel!”
Seeing that Old Master Ning was angry, Ning Yue quickly said, “Grandpa, don’t be angry. We all know that this has nothing to do with us.”
“What’s the use of knowing? Even the emperor knows. I’m worried that the emperor will believe such rumors,” Old Master Ning said worriedly.
Hearing this, Ning Yue smiled and told Old Master Ning, “Grandpa, don’t worry. The emperor is Jiang Ying’s cousin. No matter what, he will take care of him. Besides, if he didn’t trust us, why would he confer you the title of Marquis Dingyuan?”
“Our family still trusts the emperor to a certain extent. Besides, the emperor is a wise monarch. He won’t accuse people casually. These groundless accusations will never be imposed on us.” Ning Yue kept comforting him, hoping that the old man would think it through.
Otherwise, Old Master Ning would get sick from holding it in.
Hearing Ning Yue’s comforting words, Old Master King’s expression softened a little. He took a deep breath. “What you said makes sense. 1 was thinking too much.”
Seeing this, Ning Yue couldn’t help but laugh. “How can that be? All Grandpa’s considerations are for our family’s own good. Why would we say that you’re thinking too much?”
“By the way, 1 forgot to tell you something. Jiang Ying went out early this morning. He said that you should bring what he needed when you woke up,” Old Master Ning said.
Ning Yue was stunned. He wanted her to go to the palace? Couldn’t he have just said it last night? The two of them could go together today. Also, the old man had said that she would bring what he needed. He should be referring to the two jade pendants given by the Empress Dowager, right?
Seeing Ning Yue’s stunned expression, Old Master Ning thought that he had misunderstood and said to her in frustration, “Look, 1 was so angry that 1 almost forgot about serious matters.”
Ning Yue came back to her senses and said to Old Master Ning, “Grandpa, don’t worry.
It’s fine. Jiang Ying told me last night. I will go over later.”
“Since Jiang Ying has already instructed you, go on time. Don’t be late. There might be something important. That’s the palace. It won’t be good for you to be late,” Old Master Ning said.
Ning Yue nodded. “Alright, Grandpa. 1’11 remember.”
With that, Ning Yue handed the two children to Aunt. “Auntie, 1’11 have to trouble you again.”
Aunt smiled at Ning Yue and said, “We re all family. There’s no trouble. Besides, the two babies are very obedient. 1 like them very much.”
Recently, Madam Liu’s stomach had been getting bigger and bigger. Calculating the time, she was about to give birth. Ning Yue did not want Madam Liu to work too hard in case she hurt the baby, so if anything happened these days, Xiaobao and Xiaobei would be entrusted to Aunt. Aunt was also willing to take care of the two children.
“Thank you, Aunt. 1 still have to go to the palace to look for Jiang Ying,” Ning Yue said..
