The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Sickly Prince Strategy Manual

At lunch time, everything was ready, and Ning's father, Ning's mother, Ning Xue and Huo Beixuan sat around the dining table to eat together.

Ning's mother remained silent throughout the whole process, with a gloomy face.

The spies she had planted in the Huo Mansion had already reported everything that happened in the Huo family to her.

Huo's mother actually accepted Ning Xue's dowry, and in order to save face, Huo Beixuan borrowed money from an underground bank to buy five loads of dowry. The couple even had a big fight on their wedding night.

Ning's mother snorted in her heart and glanced at Huo Beixuan again. She thought she could see through the nature of this profit-seeking villain at a glance, but Ning's father believed that he was a promising talent.

Father Ning saw that the mother and daughter were eating silently and thought they were still in a bad mood.

The affairs at court had already troubled him greatly, and as for matters at home, he had always turned a blind eye and muddled along.

After dinner, Huo Beixuan stood up and said goodbye. He knew very well that Ning's mother was obviously unhappy with him, and the entire Shangshu Mansion was not particularly satisfied with him as a son-in-law.

Take this return banquet for example, neither the Ning brothers nor Concubine Ning showed up. In the Shangshu Mansion, the only one who can look at him differently now is Ning's father.

He knew very well that he had to work harder, make achievements in his work, and make Ning's father continue to think highly of him, so that he could have a foothold in this family.

After leaving Ning Mansion, Huo Beixuan just got on the carriage and said to Ning Xue angrily, "Are you and your mother-in-law having a quarrel?"

When Ning Xue heard this, she turned her head away coldly and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Huo Beixuan became even more annoyed when he saw this, and raised his voice: "Ning Xue, don't think you are still the pampered daughter of a wealthy family! You are now a wife of the Huo family, are you still so self-righteous that you don't even want to pay attention to your mother?"

Ning Xue couldn't hold it in any longer and retorted, "Why, you still expect me to go back to my parents' home to beg for money? Are you afraid that I can't eat these vegetables and tofu?"

"That will really disappoint Master Huo. Even if there is no food, I can still eat a bowl of rice!"

"Or is it that your Huo family is so poor that you can't even give me a bite of food?" After saying this, Ning Xue closed her eyes, leaned against the carriage, and no longer looked at Huo Beixuan.

Huo Beixuan was so angry that he threw his sleeves. In the past two days, Ning Xue and Huo's mother had a big fight. Every meal at home was just vegetables and tofu, without even a scrap of meat. He almost lost his appetite after eating so much.

He jumped off the carriage in anger, thinking to himself, since he had already returned home, it would not be a big deal if he did not go back to the Huo family for the time being, so he just let Ning Xue and Huo's mother continue to fight!

After Huo Beixuan left, Ning Xue also stopped the carriage and said to Hongdou, "Hongdou, let's walk back by ourselves."

The two of them got off the carriage immediately. Ning Xue walked with firm steps straight towards Cuiyu Pavilion. She had not inspected the store in the past few days and had no idea how the business was going.

As soon as she entered the Cuiyu Pavilion, Ning Xue instructed the shopkeeper: "From now on, when Huo Beixuan comes, don't let him enter the inner room, and don't let him buy on credit!" The shopkeeper nodded in agreement.

Ning Xue stood there, frowning slightly, thinking secretly in her heart.

Huo Beixuan had borrowed money from an underground bank again. With his meager salary, it was impossible for him to pay it back. She had to prepare for a rainy day and make plans early.

"Hongdou, go to the other four shops and tell the managers not to let the son-in-law sell on credit, nor to let him check the accounts and manage the shops." Ning Xue turned and said to Hongdou.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Hongdou responded and hurried away.

As soon as Hongdou left, the shopkeeper came in and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Miss, Yunshang is looking at something outside, do you think you should chase her away?"

Ning Xue frowned, and after a moment she said, "Forget it, ignore her."

It's not necessary to drive her away. Besides, Yun Shang is already the Crown Prince's Consort. How could I dare to drive her away!

Yun Shang was just strolling around! She would never spend money in the Jade Pavilion and let her money fall into Ning Xue's pocket. This was impossible. She came here just to try her luck and see if Ning Xue could inspect the store here.

After all, Ning Xue would not be back until three days later, and had been staying at the Huo's house for several days without taking care of the shop. She would always be a little worried. Maybe when she returns home, she will stop by to check on her.

Yun Chang spent a long time in Cuiyu Pavilion and finally saw Ning Xue.

Yun Shang walked forward with a smile and said, "Miss Ning, oh! No, I should call you Mrs. Huo now. Mrs. Huo is really a responsible boss! She even took the time to check the accounts on the day of her return. She is really dedicated!"

Ning Xue narrowed her eyes slightly and responded indifferently, "The Crown Prince's Consort's presence has brought honor to our humble place. I wonder if there is anything that the Crown Prince's Consort likes?"

But in his heart, he was secretly wondering, was she here to show off her power? Or did she want him to kneel down and worship her?

Yun Shang shook her head slightly and said, "I'm not here to look at the jewelry. Didn't I say before that I wanted to give you a big gift?"

"Now is the perfect time!" Yun Shang approached Ning Xue with a smile on her face, and before Ning Xue could avoid her, she whispered, "Huo Beixuan, there is a secret hidden in..."

After saying that, Yun Shang took the lead and stepped back, kindly suggesting: "If I were you, I would definitely go and take a look, and I'll make sure you don't suffer any loss!"

After saying that, she glanced at Ning Xue with a half-smile, then turned around and left with Liu Meir.

Ning Xue narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, what secrets could Huo Beixuan have? That bastard, even if he had a secret, what did it have to do with me?

But Yun Shang mentioned it this way specifically and claimed it was a great gift, which made Ning Xue very concerned for a moment.

After Hongdou came back, Ning Xue casually asked, "Hongdou, do you know this place?" Then Ning Xue gave an address.

Hongdou nodded and replied, "I know. That's a slum area, very remote, and the houses there are very shabby. However, the price is very low."

Ning Xue thought about it for a while, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity. After all, it wouldn't take much time to go and take a look.

So she said, "Let's go over there and take a look. You lead the way!"

Although Hongdou was a little curious, she didn't ask too many questions and led Ning Xue to the slums.

The further they walked, the paler Ning Xue's face became.

This slum area turned out to be right next to the desolate and dilapidated temple where he was humiliated that night!

When Hongdou brought Ning Xue to the door of the dilapidated temple that she would never forget in her life, Ning Xue could not help but turn pale and quickly reached out to hold on to the wall to steady herself.

It turned out that the reason Huo Beixuan knew about his experience that night was not by chance, but because he happened to come here.

But what on earth was he doing in this slum the night before his wedding?

Ning Xue felt a black screen in front of her eyes and a feeling of dizziness came over her. She leaned against the wall and rested for a while.

"Hongdou, how far is it?" Ning Xue asked weakly.

Hongdou pointed to the corner of the simple little house in the distance ahead and said, "It's right there. That's the end of the alley. It's the last one. Just turn the corner and you'll be there."

Ning Xue took a deep breath and said, "You wait here, I'll go over by myself."

"Yes, miss," Anko responded.

Ning Xue walked forward step by step with an uneasy mood.

She had a vague guess in her mind, but she felt that this guess was too absurd.
