Yunchang hasn't inspected the shop for a full half month.

That morning, as soon as she got up, she hurried to Yipinxian.

After she left, Yueyuan walked into the main courtyard and reported the situation to Ning Shangguan Haoyu.

Yue Yuan said respectfully, "My Lord, I have already found out about those assassins. They are from the Xuanjin Pavilion in the martial arts world. This sect seems to be a newly emerging assassin organization."

Shangguan Haoyu responded calmly, "Whether Xuanjin Pavilion is established or not is not the key point. What I care about is the person who is hiding behind and directing them."

Yueyuan continued, "Our people have already made it clear. However, they only accepted assassination missions, not kidnapping missions."

Shangguan Haoyu straightened his robes slightly, his eyes full of thought, and asked, "Two groups of people?"

Yueyuan nodded and said, "That's right, my Lord. According to what they said, the one who ordered the assassination was not a jianghu person. The one who came to discuss the business was just a woman. The woman's whereabouts were secretive. She went around most of the capital and finally entered the Shangshu Mansion."

Shangguan Haoyu couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and said, "Shangshu Mansion?"

"Noble Concubine Ning has always only wanted to harm the people around you, and has never thought of killing you."

Shangguan Haoyu pondered for a moment, then continued, "So, it's unlikely that she was the one who kidnapped Xiao Shang. It's very likely that it was someone else!"

Yueyuan nodded and continued, "We have also investigated the rumor clearly. It was first spread by the servants in the residence of the Minister of Justice."

Shangguan Haoyu's eyes narrowed and he said, "Isn't that Ning Xue's maternal grandfather's home?"

Yueyuan quickly responded, "Yes, my Lord."

Shangguan Haoyu tapped his fingers lightly on the table and asked doubtfully, "So, the one who wants to kill me is Ning Wan's mother?"

Shangguan Haoyu was completely puzzled. Why would Concubine Ning's mother do such a cruel thing to him for no reason?

He was playing with the teacup in his hand, secretly wondering: Could it be that Ning's mother discovered some of Concubine Ning's unspeakable secrets, so she pointed the finger at him?

"I have been quite busy before, but now I am a little more relaxed."

Shangguan Haoyu put down the teacup in his hand and spoke slowly.

Before, he spent all his time coaxing his wife, but now that he has coaxed his wife, he only needs to tease her at night! He does have a little free time.

"Isn't it that Lin is trying so hard to clear Ning Xue's name? If Ning Xue had already lost her virginity before marriage, then it would make sense for Huo Beixuan to take Wu Shi San and abandon his wife!"

Shangguan Haoyu looked calm, but his tone was a little cold.

Huo Beixuan said calmly: "Go check where the evil spirit is."

Before he had the chance to settle accounts with the Ning sisters, Ning's mother was not afraid of trouble and dared to take the initiative to cause trouble for him.

Yueyuan replied respectfully, "Yes."

After Yueyuan left, Fusha quietly appeared: "Prince, I have assigned more people to follow the Crown Princess as you ordered."

Shangguan Haoyu nodded slightly: "We must pay more attention to see if there are other unidentified people following her besides our people."

Fusa nodded and then stepped back.

Shangguan Haoyu returned to the room and saw that there was no one around, so he quietly took out the suspender dress from his bag and carefully put it in the closet.

Then, he took out the Twenty-Four Erotic Positions that Shangguan Haoxuan had given him from the cabinet, walked to the couch, and began to read through them with interest.

In the afternoon, Yun Chang came out of Yipinxian and was about to go home. Coincidentally, Ning Xue and her two sisters were also walking towards this side, preparing to have dinner here.

When Ning Xue saw Yun Shang alone, she habitually wanted to walk up to her and make a few sarcastic remarks.

But just as she took a small step, she was held tightly by the two sisters on her left and right.

One of the sisters said anxiously, "Ning Xue! We all know that you and the Crown Prince's Consort are not on good terms, but right now, you must not be foolish enough to go out and offend her!"

Another sister also quickly agreed, "That's right, our identities are different from hers now. If we anger her and offend the Shangguan Palace, our family will be in trouble!"

The two sisters advised Ning Xue earnestly.

Both of them felt pity for Ning Xue. In their eyes, Ning Xue was a woman who had to run a shop alone to make a living, was not accepted by her husband's family, and had difficulty returning to her parents' home. She was truly a pitiful person.

So, the two of them came up with the idea of ​​having a meal with her and relaxing, trying to enlighten this woman who was struggling in life.

However, the moment Ning Xue saw Yun Shang, her expression of wanting to vent her anger on someone revealed her inner hostility, and she showed no sign of repentance at all.

Ning Xue's face turned pale as paper in an instant. After hearing what others said, she knew in her heart that what they said was indeed reasonable.

I am just stubborn and keep avoiding reality.

"You two sisters are right. It was Ning Xue who was reckless." Ning Xue said softly, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in her voice.

"We are all married women, unlike unmarried girls. Ning Xue, life is but a blink of an eye. Don't always dwell on the past." These words hit Ning Xue's heart like a heavy hammer.

She slowly lowered her head, her thoughts racing.

Yes! I was completely confused by that illusory precognitive dream. I imagined that even if I really became the prime minister's wife or the imperial lady, I would be able to enjoy unlimited glory.

But now I think about it, even if my dream comes true, my status will be lower than that of the Crown Prince's Consort.

What's more, by that time, Yun Shang would probably have become a noble princess, and she would still be one level lower than him.

Ning Xue couldn't help but ask herself, why was she so blind to seeing things at the beginning?

She was deeply immersed in memories. At that time, she was infatuated with love and was convinced that Huo Beixuan was a true gentleman unparalleled in the world. She firmly believed that she was the best man.

Thinking about it now, I was so naive!

"My sisters are right. I only see the good side and ignore the bad side. Alas!"

Ning Xue sighed, her tone full of regret.

She raised her head and looked at Yun Shang who was walking away with a dazed look. She secretly guessed in her heart that in half a year, Prince Shangguan would be exiled to his fiefdom and would not be allowed to return to the capital without an imperial decree.

What kind of situation will Yunchang face then? Recalling her original choice, she resolutely divorced in the difficult situation and stayed in the capital.

But what will Yunchang choose? Will Yunchang stick with Shangguan Shizi, a sick husband?

Yun Shang had already seen Ning Xue and the two women leave.

Surprisingly, this incident seemed to have no effect on Ning Xue. She did not look haggard, but instead had an aggressive attitude as if she was ready to go forward and cause trouble.

Fortunately, he was pulled away in time by others, thus avoiding a disturbance.
