Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

The old lady's smile froze on her face, but she quickly smiled again: "Ran Ran is here, come, let me introduce you, this is your aunt, and this is your cousin."

"They have come from afar, and there is some unrest in the mansion right now. Please greet your cousin on their behalf and walk with him around the mansion."

Zhong Ran looked at her strangely: "You want me to accompany him for a walk around the mansion? Aren't you afraid that Prince Ning will come directly to your house and cause trouble for you?"

She is now the fiancée of Prince Ning, but the old woman asked her to accompany a strange man around the mansion?

The old lady's expression froze and her voice unconsciously turned cold.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is your cousin, and you are just walking with him in the mansion. What does this have to do with Prince Ning?"

The middle-aged woman also chuckled and said, "Aunt, Ranran is young and ignorant, so don't blame her."

"I heard she was raised in the countryside. Now that she's finally connected to Prince Ning, it's only natural for her to take advantage of the power of the powerful."

"Ran Ran, I heard that you've had a red birthmark on your face since you were little. Even though you're covering your face now, you can't hide it forever, right?"

"How can a woman with such a poor appearance be worthy of being the Prince of Ning's principal wife?"

"Besides, you're only fourteen years old now, and you keep talking about Prince Ning all the time. If this gets out, it will only make people laugh."

Zhong Ran raised an eyebrow: "Since you have heard about the birthmark on my face, have you heard of the reputation of the disaster star?"

"Anyone who gets close to me will end up in bad luck. At the very least, they'll just lose money, and at worst, they'll lose their lives."

"There's talk out there that the burglaries at the Marquis' Mansion and Prince Ning's Mansion were all related to me? Are you sure you really want me to accompany my cousin around the mansion?"

The middle-aged woman's expression changed completely, and the old lady's expression also looked very bad.

"Ran Ran, how can you take on such a bad reputation? What do the thefts at the Marquis' Mansion and Prince Ning's Mansion have to do with you?"

"Hurry up and take your cousin out for a walk."

Zhong Ran chuckled, stood up and said, "In that case, cousin, let's go."

The young man hesitated. Although the benefits given by his great aunt were great, if she was really a disaster, his losses would be even greater.

"Zhenwu, don't let Ranran wait for you too long." The old lady looked at him dimly and spoke with a hint of threat in her voice.

When Zhong Ran walked out of the living room, he looked back at the old lady.

It seems that she has been very idle recently and has time to plot against her.

Should she find her something else to do?

What are you looking for?

She looked at the young man who was following her but far away from her, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

Feng Zhenwu felt a chill down his spine when she looked at him, and a chill ran down his heart.

When he looked again, she was not looking at him anymore.

Is it my own illusion?

He followed her and was always three steps away from the old lady until they walked out of her yard.

If this girl is really a disaster, he should be safe if he is within this range of her, right?

Zhong Ran turned around and looked at him, his voice cold: "Cousin, should I stay at the mansion tonight?"

Feng Zhenwu shuddered for an inexplicable moment, then smiled. "Yes, it's a rare trip to Beijing. My great aunt asked us to stay for a while so my mother can talk to her."

After a pause, he continued, "Cousin, what you just said was all false, right?"

Zhong Ran looked at him calmly: "My words are never false."

Without waiting for him to speak again, she continued, "Cousin, you haven't seen Cousin Dai'er yet, right? She's a famous beauty in the capital. People who have seen her are so stunned that they can't even walk. I'll take you to see her."

Feng Zhenwu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but she had already walked away.

He had no choice but to follow.

Zhong Ran took her directly to Chen's yard. The servants who were watching from afar had their faces changing again and again, and hurried back to report to the old lady.

"Madam, the eldest daughter has taken the young master to the Madam's place."

Mrs. Zhong's face darkened. "What is she doing over there?"

The servant said cautiously, "She said to take the young master to see the second young lady."

"Ridiculous!" The old lady slammed her hand on the table and said coldly, "Why don't you stop her quickly?"

The servant said with a bitter face: "Old Madam, I can't stop you."

The middle-aged woman was silent beside him. After the servants left, she whispered, "Aunt, is there anything special about this young lady?"

They had received a letter from the old lady some time ago, asking her to bring her son to Beijing to see her and to find a good marriage for her son.

The prerequisite is to find a way to help her destroy Zhong Ran.

They had only heard of such a person, but did not know the legend about her.

Just now, Zhong Ran revealed that he was a disaster star, which made her frightened for a while.

"Humph, it's just that he grew up in the countryside and has become wild."

The old lady snorted coldly, "I'm not asking your Zhenwu to marry her, what are you afraid of?"

She had already asked people to invite many gossipy women to her home, just to let them see Zhong Ran being close to a strange man.

She has also arranged everything for the flower-viewing banquet the day after tomorrow. By then, a country girl with a chaotic private life and the reputation of being a disaster star will no longer be allowed to occupy the title of Ning Wangfei by either Prince Ning or the Imperial Concubine.

In addition to the many negative information coming out during this period, the imperial concubine will definitely ask for permission to cancel the engagement.

By then, if she works hard and transfers the marriage to Zhong Daier's name, there will be a chance.

The middle-aged woman's expression changed slightly, and then she smiled and said, "Aunt, I didn't mean that."

"Madam, Madam Chen is here to see you."

Lord Chen and Master Chen Wu have not yet been released from prison. During this period, the Chen family has been trying to find connections to rescue Lord Chen, but they have been unable to do anything.

The last time Uncle Chen and Second Uncle came to Zhong Qingshan’s house to ask for help, they didn’t get what they wanted.

This time it was Old Madam Chen who came in person.

Madam Zhong frowned and said impatiently, "Take them directly to Madam."

The servant quickly responded and walked out: "Old Madam Chen, I'm so sorry, my old lady hasn't woken up yet. How about I take you to see her first?"

Old Madam Chen did not come alone. She was supported by two young girls and accompanied by a haggard middle-aged woman.

After hearing what the servant said, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to walk towards Chen's yard.

Chen was still taking a nap when Zhong Ran brought Feng Zhenwu into the yard. When the servants saw her, they all became nervous but did not dare to stop her and hurried into Chen's room.

"Madam, the eldest lady is here." The nanny's voice trembled, and she reached out to push Chen anxiously.

Chen suddenly sat up, still a little confused: "What is she doing here?"

"I don't know. She brought a man with her. She seemed to be the old lady's cousin."

Chen quickly asked someone to help her get down from the ground. She hurriedly combed her hair and tidied her clothes.

Another servant came in, her voice tinged with tears: "Madam, please go and see! The eldest lady wants to take the young master into the second lady's room."
