Ning Yue stayed in the room for a long time before coming out. She looked at Jiang Ying tiredly. “No matter what, thank you for today.”
“Disciple, why don’t you stay here and rest tonight? We’ll go back when your grandmother wakes up. I’ll think of a way to deal with your parents,” Gu Yu said.
Ning Yue nodded and didn’t say anything else.
She was really too tired. She was both mentally and physically exhausted.
After eating and resting for a while, Ning Yue finally calmed down.
Sometimes, dreams were very accurate. If not for that dream, she might not have found peace today.
When Ning Yue calmed down, she recalled something. Her face suddenly turned red, and she stood up.
At this moment, Uncle Su arrived.
“Miss Ning, my master asked me to prepare these clothes for you. Do you think they’re suitable?”
Looking at the clothes in Uncle Su’s hand, Ning Yue’s expression darkened.
Instead of answering, she asked, “Where is Jiang Ying?”
“Master is in the study. He…”
Before Uncle Su could finish his sentence, he felt a gust of wind blow past him, and Ning Yue disappeared.
“What a fiery young lady.” Uncle Su shook his head. He placed the clothes on a chair and turned to leave.
No matter what, he was a servant, and Ning Yue was still a young lady. It was better for him not to stay in a young lady’s room for long. It wouldn’t be good if word got out.
Ning Yue arrived at Jiang Ying’s study and kicked the door open.
Jiang Ying, who was evaluating documents, was stunned by the commotion. He looked up at Ning Yue in confusion.
“Jiang Ying, let me ask you. Why are you investigating me?” Ning Yue asked.
She had long known that Jiang Ying was investigating her. At that time, she had thought that Jiang Ying was only investigating her because he was worried that she had a motive for getting close to him.
However, Jiang Ying had investigated too many things. He had even found out what was wrong with the general’s residence. This was not as simple as investigating her.
Jiang Ying’s face turned red. “I… I…”
How should he explain to Ning Yue that he wanted to investigate the biological father of Ning Yue’s two children?
Stop fooling around. With Ning Yue’s personality, if she knew his motive, she would probably be so angry that she would greet him with her fists.
Speaking of investigating the child’s father, Jiang Ying thought for a while and decided to ask Ning Yue directly.
“Have you been to a brothel?” Jiang Ying asked.
A brothel?
Ning Yue, who had initially planned to come and interrogate him, was stunned when she heard this.
Soon, Ning Yue came back to her senses and punched Jiang Ying so hard that his eye turned black.
“You’ve just been to a brothel. Your entire family has been to a brothel!” Ning Yue said through gritted teeth.
What kind of joke was this? A grown man was actually asking her if a woman had been to a brothel?
“You’ve misunderstood me. You’ve misunderstood!” Jiang Ying said.
Was there a misunderstanding?
An image suddenly flashed in Ning Yue’s mind. She seemed to have gone to a building hung with a red lantern, then opened a door and laid down.
Finally…
She suddenly recalled the missing memory of the Host.
She looked at Jiang Ying with a complicated expression. Could Jiang Ying be that man?
At the thought of this, Ning Yue took out a jade pendant and handed it to Jiang Ying. “Can you help me investigate who the owner of this jade pendant is?”
The jade pendant was of high quality, and there was a traditional Chinese character engraved on it.
The identity of the owner of this jade pendant should be extraordinary. Jiang Ying should be able to find out soon.
Seeing the jade pendant lying quietly in his hand, Jiang Ying’s heart couldn’t help but race.
He asked Ning Yue, “Where did you get this jade pendant?”
“Something happened to me. A man left it here,” Ning Yue said.
“This is my jade pendant,” Jiang Ying replied.
It was also because of Jiang Ying’s answer that Ning Yue’s fist met Jiang Ying’s other eye.
Jiang Ying was beaten up like a panda. His eyes were dark.
“I told you not to mess around. I told you to be responsible!” As she spoke, Ning Yue reached out to hit Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying’s muffled groan rang out, causing the hidden guards in the dark to cover their ears.
They couldn’t be blamed for not doing anything. Their master had once said that if Ning Yue came to his study, they shouldn’t stop her.
Now that the two of them were in the study, who knew if there would be any whispers or movements? They shouldn’t get involved.
Ning Yue punched Jiang Ying a few times before he explained, “My cousin drugged me.”
Drugged?
Then didn’t she hit the right person?
