The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

Chapter 239 Like a Galaxy

Yun Qing asked seriously, "What else has she done?"

Ning Haochen said, "Although there's no evidence, I'm certain she was the one who killed the original wife's children. The cause of death for the original wife and my grandfather is also very strange. And my youngest aunt disappeared for no apparent reason after the Su family broke off the engagement. Only a letter was found in her boudoir, saying she had eloped with a scholar!"

Good god! The Ning family, like the Su family, was also killed and their descendants were cut off. This is too cruel.

"Then, it's the turn of our Ning family's younger generation. My eldest brother was born mentally retarded and is practically useless. He can't inherit the family business at all. My second brother..." Ning Haochen sneered, "He's not even from the Ning family!"

What! This is truly a shocking piece of news. Mu Qingcheng is going to be full tonight.

Ning Haochen continued, "Since returning to the Ning family, I've been frequently targeted by assassination attempts. It seems the old lady wants to exterminate all descendants of the Ning family."

How deep is the grudge against the Ning family? She doesn't even spare her own children and grandchildren. This old lady is so vicious!

"Could it be that your father is not your biological son?"

Ning Haochen said, "That should be the case! I heard from an old gardener in the mansion that my grandfather doted on the old lady very much. When the old lady gave birth, my grandfather was with her in the delivery room the whole time. This can't be wrong."

Mu Qingcheng was puzzled: "But, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! This old lady even harms her own children and grandchildren. What on earth does she want to do?" Mu Qingcheng was puzzled.

Su Qingyan suddenly thought of something and asked, "But, as far as I know, the old lady of the Ning family is particularly doting on the second son of the Ning family. What's going on? Just because he is not a descendant of the Ning family, then whose child is he?"

Ning Haochen sneered, "This is what confuses me the most. Perhaps this Ning Haokun was brought back by the old lady herself. Or perhaps it's precisely because Ning Haokun isn't a descendant of the Ning family that she dotes on him so unscrupulously!"

Mu Qingcheng was thinking quickly in her mind. She felt like she was missing something. "Something's not right! There's no love or hate without reason in this world! Even though this old lady is so cruel, she can't possibly be so cruel to her own flesh and blood. There must be a reason."

Everyone felt that what Mu Qingcheng said made sense, but why?

Yun Qing said, "I will send someone to investigate Old Madam Ning. Don't move for now. We'll make a decision when we have more information. As for the Su family, I'll have someone investigate the Tang family to see who's behind them."

Ning Haochen and Su Qingyan knelt down at the same time and kowtowed to Yun Qing: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Mu Qingcheng quickly helped the two of them up!

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, a lantern stand more than ten meters high was erected in the open space in the center of Yongkang City. The lantern stand was filled with lanterns from the competition. Who will come out on top will be decided tonight.

At nightfall, you can see the tall lantern stand in the middle of the street from afar, shining brightly and dazzlingly!

The streets and alleys were bustling with activity, especially the stalls lining the streets, which displayed a dazzling array of goods and a wealth of mouth-watering snacks. Every stall was packed, some even packed. With no curfew today, residents were free to revel in the excitement. People from all over the county poured into Yongkang County like a tide, further congesting the already crowded streets.

Mu Qingcheng and the others were ready to go out and see the lanterns. Mu Yao couldn't wait any longer and urged her several times. Su Qingyan knew that Mu Qingcheng was waiting for the Crown Prince, so she kept reassuring Mu Yao not to be impatient.

Yun Qing had been very busy these past few days, and Mu Qingcheng hadn't seen her all day. She knew that with so many people pouring into the county, safety was paramount. If something went wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, Yun Qing repeatedly promised her yesterday that she would accompany her to watch the lanterns today, but unfortunately, in the end she only waited for Mo Yu to arrive in a hurry.

Mo Yu bowed to everyone and said, "The master can't leave, let everyone go and have fun first! The master will be here soon."

Mu Qingcheng was a little disappointed, but since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was working overtime, there was nothing she could do.

Everyone finally left the house and got on the carriages. Mu Qingcheng, Su Qingyan, and Mu Yao were in one carriage, while Liuliu sat outside. Zijin and Zipei Linglong sat in the carriage behind.

Of Yun Qing's three senior brothers, only Song Ming came; the other two were conscripted and temporarily assigned to guard the city gate. Mo Yu, Ning Haochen, and Song Ming rode on horseback, following alongside the carriage.

As a result, the carriage could not move forward as soon as it left the street corner. There were too many people. There was no choice but to get off the carriage and walk to the main street.

"Sister Cheng'er, Muyao, you guys better follow closely. There are too many people here, so don't get lost."

"Don't worry, Sister Su, the three of us will hold hands and we won't get lost."

"It's too crowded. I'm afraid it won't be easy to walk holding hands. Anyway, you can't let go of me. Especially you, Mu Yao."

"Humph! Sister Su has been nagging me over and over again. I'm so tired of it."

Su Qingyan smiled and tapped Mu Yao's forehead: "You are such a naughty monkey. If I don't nag you, can you remember it?"

Mu Qingcheng pulled the silk ribbon from Mu Yao's waist and tied it around her wrist: "Isn't this enough? This is called an anti-lost safety rope!"

Su Qingyan praised it highly and also pulled out a silk ribbon to tie around her wrist: "This is a good idea! Sister Cheng'er, let's go on either side and Mu Yao will go in the middle."

Mu Yao didn't care. She held Mu Qingcheng with one hand and Su Qingyan with the other. The three little girls walked excitedly in front, followed by four little maids. The girls plunged into the crowd.

Song Ming led the way, Mo Yu followed behind, and Ning Haochen accompanied him on one side.

The three girls wore masks when they went out. These masks were made of pure silver and were handcrafted by master sculptor Lin Zhong. Mu Qingcheng designed many masks with images of foxes, squirrels, butterflies, rabbits, tigers, monkeys, leopards, and more, and painted them with exquisite patterns.

Mu Yao couldn't let it go when she saw it. Mu Qingcheng thought she would pick a butterfly mask, but she actually picked a squirrel mask. What's more, after putting it on, it really matched her temperament very well.

Looking at Mu Qingcheng again, she chose a fox mask that seemed to blend in with her, adding a touch of elegance. Meanwhile, Su Qingyan wore a butterfly mask, which made her appear gentle and charming, like a fairy dancing among flowers.

Today, the three girls were all beautiful in their own ways, but they were all dressed in ordinary, ordinary clothes, without any flashy attire. Mu Qingcheng wore a dress as white as snow, with flowing sleeves, and the lotus hairpin on her head made her look like an immortal descending from the earth!

Su Qingyan was wearing a light blue dress, fresh and elegant, just like an orchid in a valley; as for Mu Yao, she was wearing a pink dress, the tender pink color made her look even more charming and lovely, as bright and beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.

The lights are on! The lights are dazzling, just like the stars falling into the world.
