After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Seeing Li Jun's face growing paler, the visitor couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Master Li, why are you so worried?"

Li Jun's face turned pale and he remained silent for a long time.

The visitor was a little anxious and could only say, "Didn't Lord Li say that he had another letter for me to pass on to the prince?"

Oh, yes, letters.

He wrote a special letter last night and is waiting for the envoy to come and deliver it in the next few days.

Where is the letter?

"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency!"

Li Jun didn't care about much and went straight into the inner room of the study in front of the visitor. He opened the secret cabinet behind the paintings, but found that it was empty!

“Ah…” Li Jun screamed from the inner room, and then he rushed out with a pale face, “Someone, someone!”

The guards and the housekeeper rushed over after hearing the noise, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Li Jun rushed forward, grabbed the butler's shoulders and asked in a low voice, "Who entered the study last night? Who dared to enter my study without permission?"

Li Jun had already lost his usual composure at this time, and looked like a madman. The housekeeper was frightened by Li Jun's sudden questioning.

He only replied tremblingly: "There were guards waiting here last night. No one, no one has ever entered the study..."

"You're talking nonsense. How could my things be lost if no one had come in?" Li Jun's eyes bulged out, and the fear in his heart became even greater.

He had just received the news and had not had time to nip the last glimmer of hope in the bud. Unexpectedly, his biggest evidence of guilt had already been seized by someone.

Thinking of the fate of Prince An's mansion, Li Jun couldn't help but shudder, and asked again: "What about the stranger? Did any stranger come to the mansion yesterday?"

The housekeeper thought for a moment and replied, "Last night, as the sun was setting, the eldest young master brought a woman into the mansion and placed her in Jinxiu Pavilion."

"A woman?" Li Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling. "Do you know her name?"

The housekeeper shook his head slightly and replied carefully: "I only know that the young master calls her Miss Ning, and I don't know anything else..."

Miss Ning, Miss Ning!

Li Jun was at a loss. The surname Ning was extremely rare, but there was a family named Lin'an Ning, which was the representative of this surname.

Could it be that this girl is from the Lin'an Ning family?

No, that's not right. If he really came from a prominent family, how could he be interested in a guy like his son?

Li Jun always considered himself a smart man, but he still knew the moral character of his own son!

Oops!

I'm afraid the other party is well prepared.

The target was not his stupid son.

But it’s him, Li Jun.

"Where is that girl now?" Li Jun asked sharply.

"Just now, the young master led people to the main courtyard..."

Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Li Jun rushed out. Just as he was out of the courtyard, he returned in time and said to the visitor, "Sir, hurry up and leave the city. Now, immediately!"

The man didn't understand what was going on, but seeing Li Jun's expression he knew that things were not simple.

He just bowed and said goodbye quickly, leaving the place in a hurry!

Li Zhun asked the housekeeper to gather the guards in the mansion and quickly surround the main courtyard. He himself hurried to Jinghui Hall in the main courtyard.

Soon, Zhong Ning followed Li Huai'en into the gate of Jinghui Hall.

She was dressed in a light blue brocade gown and a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist. Her long hair fell to her shoulders and was tied into a bow with a turquoise silk ribbon.

The jade hairpin was lightly held, with a green bead hanging from the tip. Even though her body moved slightly, the bead did not move at all.

Her eyebrows and eyes are delicate, yet with a subtle indifference.

Under Li Huai'en's considerate entrustment, he came slowly.

When Wang first saw her, she thought that although this woman looked a little seductive, she had learned etiquette well and it was obvious that she had been carefully taught.

But when she saw her son gently holding her wrist, carefully supporting her like a princess, she immediately became furious.

When he came closer, Zhong Ning just nodded lightly, and then sat down on a high seat beside him.

Wang was furious when she saw this and shouted angrily:

"I heard you were from the Lin'an Ning clan. How could you be so unruly and not even know how to show respect to your elders?"

His sharp eyes pierced Zhong Ning directly, and his voice was like ice chips, which made Li Huai'en feel a headache.

What's wrong with mother?

Didn’t we agree not to make things difficult for Miss Ning?

Li Huai'en was a little anxious, so he could only look at Zhong Ning pleadingly, indicating that she should salute her mother.

"Hello, Madam Li!" Zhong Ning sat there and said this lightly, which immediately made Wang Shi furious.

"You, is this how you learn etiquette? You are so uneducated!" Wang was extremely angry and looked at Zhong Ning with a sullen face.

Zhong Ning only raised his eyelids slightly, and said in a slightly cold voice, looking over with a smile, "I can bow to you, but can you bear it?"

"You..." Wang sat angrily on a chair beside her, her face gloomy. The maid beside her understood and immediately stepped forward to accuse her, "Young lady, my wife is the wife of the county magistrate. How can you not bear this?"

"But you, girl, although you have a good family background, you are not a legitimate descendant..."

The old woman raised her eyebrows and spoke in a shrill voice, "When he gets married, he will have to respect me as your mother-in-law. In our Li family's backyard, we won't tolerate such unruly behavior!"

Zhong Ning's fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, looking at Li Huai'en with a half-smile. Li Huai'en received the warning from his eyes and immediately shouted at the old woman, "How dare you! Miss Ning is my honored guest. How can I tolerate your disrespect? Get out of here!"

The old woman trembled like a sieve.

Wang glared at her son fiercely and said with suppressed anger, "You go down first!"

Li Huai'en smiled brightly upon seeing this, and coaxed his mother, "Mother, this is Miss Ning!"

"Oh, she followed a man home after only meeting him once. People who knew she was Miss Ning would think she was a shameless wild girl." Wang snorted coldly, completely losing the intention of agreeing with her son.

After all, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. If she is suppressed today, it will be difficult to regain her power in the future.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Miss Ning was invited back by my son. You are not allowed to say that about her!" Li Huai'en retorted angrily while carefully watching Zhong Ning's expression.

But Zhong Ning was not angry, he just looked at him calmly.

Li Huai'en was afraid that the little ancestor would be angry, so he had to step forward to comfort her: "Miss Ning, my mother just said something wrong, please don't take it to heart!"

"You..." Wang pointed at her son, her whole body trembling with anger.

Zhong Ning smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. As Madam Li said, I came here on my own initiative..."

Before he could finish his words, a stern voice came from outside the door: "I also want to know, what exactly is your intention in sneaking into my Li Mansion?"

"I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be Lord Li who has returned!" Zhong Ning smiled faintly and changed his posture. He looked bold and confident.
