Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 66 The Villain's Secret Love

The main gate of Furong Garden, which had been closed for a long time, finally opened. The plaque was wiped clean, and the servants stood in two neat rows, ready for battle.

"I'm coming."

A huge convoy drove over, and two carriages were clustered in the middle and slowly stopped.

The knights dismounted and bowed.

Four women with different looks walked out of a carriage decorated with green and red tassels. Some were reserved and quiet, some were elegant and dignified, and some were lively and pretty.

The most eye-catching person is a calm and composed woman in plain clothes, with a very strong aura.

"Welcome the master back to the garden, and welcome the three girls back to the garden."

Ning Zhiwei nodded slightly, "Everyone, get up."

She did not go in, but walked to another carriage and said softly, "Lord Rong, please get off."

The carriage was silent. After a while, a cold voice was heard, "I have been away from the capital for many days. The affairs of the government office are piling up. I'd better go back to the capital first..."

Rong Jing didn't even show up and insisted on returning to the capital.

Ning Zhiwei frowned slightly, "Has Doctor Li arrived?"

This is what she specifically asked the emperor for.

The butler replied respectfully, "We have been waiting for a long time."

Ning Zhiwei looked at the carriage and said, "Sir Rong, Doctor Li is best at treating external injuries. Your health is the most important thing. No one can bear the pain for you. Heal your body first."

"As for official business, have your subordinates deliver it to Furong Garden. It won't take half a day to go back and forth. I have also mentioned this to the Emperor. Your current situation is most suitable for staying in Furong Garden. If a major case occurs, it will not be too late to go back."

Her voice was steady and calm, but Rong Jing felt bitter when he heard it.

It is better not to meet than to meet.

Ning Liu also helped to persuade him, "Yes, Lord Rong, Furong Garden is very suitable for recuperation, and it will not interfere with your work."

After a long while, Rong Jing finally gave in, "Then... I'll keep nagging."

This time Ning Zhiwei brought Ning Wenyin, Ning Peilan, the fourth child, and Ning Wuhua, the sixth child. They will accompany her into the palace to watch the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Housekeeper, from today on, my eldest sister will take over the management of Hibiscus Garden. From now on, all matters concerning the garden will be handled by her."

"Yes."

"Big sister, I leave it to you."

Ning Wenyin had prepared herself mentally, and no matter what, she would help to bear some of the responsibilities. "Don't worry."

After all, she was the eldest daughter who was carefully trained, and as soon as she took over the household chores, she showed strong housekeeping skills.

Everything unfolded in an orderly manner.

As a royal garden, Furong Garden not only has picturesque scenery and colorful lake views, but also has unique architecture. Every courtyard is meticulously crafted and is breathtakingly beautiful.

When Su Mingjin moved out, he only emptied the yard of himself and his parents, and left behind the furnishings in the other yards. Everything was exquisite, which saved a lot of trouble.

There is a garden in the mountain and a lake in the garden, which is the biggest feature of Furong Garden.

As the head of the family, Ning Zhiwei naturally lived in the best main courtyard. Ning Wenyin lived in Fangcao Pavilion, Ning Peilan lived in Lanyuan, and Ning Wuhua lived in Fuwu Tower.

As for Rong Jing, he lived in the guest house, and Doctor Li moved in to keep him company.

Ning Wenyin equipped her with a small kitchen and a cook so she could cook at any time and also make medicine conveniently.

Doctor Li had a meal of six dishes and one soup, a combination of meat and vegetables, which was nutritious and delicious. After the meal, there were snacks and fruits, all of which were fresh and tasty.

He was very satisfied. "I didn't expect Miss Ning to cheer up so quickly. She is indeed a daughter of a general. She is so considerate and thoughtful in her work. The Qi family really didn't know how to appreciate a valuable asset."

Every dish was prepared with the tastes of the injured and the elderly in mind. There were two nourishing soups, one was a nourishing ginseng chicken soup specially prepared for Rong Jing, and the other was a nourishing bamboo shoot and old duck soup specially prepared for Doctor Li.

The thought is evident in the details.

"Of course, the most powerful one is Princess Jingning. The emperor has ordered officials above the fourth rank to bring their families to the palace to attend her coming-of-age ceremony. This favor is unique and unprecedented."

Rong Jing said calmly, "A raging fire and a blooming brocade, is that really good?"

Doctor Li drank some tea and picked up a piece of red bean cake to taste. He praised its delicate and soft texture.

Suddenly, he glared at Rong Jing in annoyance, "What's wrong with you? You're such a bummer, are you taking your anger out on Princess Jingning?"

"What?" Rong Jing was confused.

Doctor Li was once involved in a case, and it was Rong Jing who cleared him of the charges. The two had a very good relationship.

"I heard that you were injured because you were implicated? Be a real man, don't be so petty."

The corners of Rong Jing's mouth twitched, but he didn't explain, just let everyone think so.

Seeing that he was silent again, Doctor Li was used to it. "By the way, have you found out who did it? Going after the Ning family relentlessly is so unethical."

"I want to know too." A cold light flashed in Rong Jing's eyes. He would definitely get to the bottom of it.

For myself and for her.

He would never allow anyone to hurt Ning Zhiwei.

Princess Mansion, Study

Su Haozhi stood by the window, looking up at the moon, with his hands behind his back, a gloomy and uncertain expression.

The door was gently pushed open, Su Mingjin walked in and reported carefully.

"Father, the Ning family has moved into Furong Garden. They are accompanied by the Supreme Court Justice Rong Jing and the Imperial Doctor Li."

Closely monitor any movement in Furong Garden and follow up at any time.

Su Wuzhi didn't turn around, "How is Rong Jing's injury?"

Su Mingjin was very afraid of his father. "The injury to his shoulder blade seems to be quite serious."

"Where's Ning Zhiwei?"

Su Mingjin frowned slightly, "We can't reach into the inner courtyard. The youth battalion brought by Ning Zhiwei took over the guarding of the inner courtyard. The maids were also brought from home. The inner courtyard is decorated like an iron barrel, and water can't be poured in."

Su Haozhi turned back abruptly, eyes full of anger, "A bunch of useless people who are always causing trouble instead of being able to accomplish anything. Not only did they fail to kill Ning Zhiwei, they also offended Rong Jing, who is an expert in criminal cases."

Su Mingjin felt bitter. "I was very careful. I didn't leave any traces at the scene. The clues led to the princess. Given the emperor's temperament, he would definitely choose to stop here. If we can save the princess, we can retreat safely."

Su Haozhi's anger subsided a little, "Ning Zhiwei is really lucky."

Su Mingjin bravely asked, "Father, why do you suddenly want to kill her?"

Didn't we agree to make full use of her?

Su Haozhi realized something through testing, "She is smarter and more resourceful than I thought. I have a feeling that keeping her here will cause endless troubles."

"Pity."

Su Mingjin couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. She felt a little worried and a little sad. What happened to him?

"Are you afraid that Ning Zhiwei will discover the secret of Hibiscus Garden? No, it is hidden so secretly."

But, are things going as they wish?

In Hibiscus Garden, the rockery in the garden is stacked layer upon layer, staggered and winding.

Ning Zhiwei held a small lantern in one hand and walked towards the rockery holding Ning Wenyin's hand with the other.

Ning Wenyin's heart was in turmoil and she was extremely nervous. She subconsciously tried to find topics to ease the tension.

"Fifth sister, you dragged me to the garden in the middle of the night. Are you going to meet that secret?"

"Yes."

Ning Wenyin became more and more nervous. Suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out from the darkness, scaring her so much that she screamed. "Ahhhh."
