Madam Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Since we can't seduce the old one, then we can seduce the young one. As long as he marries our Ning family's daughter, we will become relatives with the Zhan Yi Marquis Mansion. Then, will they still have the nerve to keep Sui Sui locked up?"

After saying that, she ordered someone to bring a little girl to her.

She stepped forward nervously and saluted: "Yun'er greets the old lady!"

Madam Ning frowned and interrupted, "Why call me Madam? Shouldn't you call me Grandmother?"

Ning Yun'er knelt on the ground with a plop: "Grandma, please forgive me. Yun'er didn't mean to anger you!"

Madam Ning pulled her up and said, "Don't be afraid. Grandma used to have a lot of rules, but I think you are the most well-behaved child, so I allow you to call me Grandma. Are you happy?"

Ning Yun'er was so excited that she almost fainted. She knew very well that this seemingly kind old lady in front of her hated the illegitimate children and grandchildren in the mansion.

In her eyes, they were all servants.

She never allowed them to call her mother, or grandmother!

Now that she has won her favor, she naturally feels as happy as if a pie has suddenly fallen from the sky.

She quickly spoke up, "It's a blessing for me to be loved by my grandmother. I wonder if there's anything I want you to ask Yun'er to do?"

Old Madam Ning was very satisfied with her ability to understand the current situation. She felt that he was worthy of being the person she chose, as he saw through her plan at once.

She said in embarrassment, "Yun'er, you should know about your aunt, right? She's been imprisoned in the Northwest Military Camp!"

Ning Yun'er had naturally heard about it. The Ning Mansion was not a big deal, but any matter that happened would be spread privately the next day.

She nodded. "Grandma, do you want me to save my aunt? But I'm so young, what can I do to help you?"

Madam Ning grabbed her hand and urged, "The second son of the Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion is now in Lingyan Pavilion. Use all your skills to please him. If you stay with him for one night, our Ning Mansion and the Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion will become relatives. Then, won't you worry about not being able to rescue your aunt?"

Although Ning Yun'er is young, she understands that this is a great opportunity for her to make a name for herself and she must not miss it.

But she couldn't show it on her face, she wanted to make Madam Ning bleed more.

She said with some embarrassment: "Grandma, I would like to do this, but I don't have a single decent piece of jewelry on my body. How can the second young master of the Zhan Yi Marquis Mansion be interested in me?"

Madam Ning interrupted without hesitation: "I've prepared all the clothes and jewelry for you. In addition, as long as you complete the task and bring your aunt home safely, I will give you five shops to support yourself. Aren't you satisfied?"

Ning Yun'er narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Of course I am satisfied. Don't worry, Grandma, I will definitely use all my skills to please the Second Young Master Zhan!"

Only then did Old Madam Ning breathe a sigh of relief, and she quickly sent someone to take Ning Yun'er away to deal with her.

As night falls, the atmosphere in the elegant rooms of Lingyan Pavilion remains high.

Zhan Xuan drank a few more glasses of wine and felt a little dizzy.

He reached out and pulled Ye Li up: "Come on, help me to rest, I can't walk steadily, you can't ignore your good brother!"

Lin Yiwan slapped his hand away: "Ye Li isn't here to serve you. Why are you dragging him along when you go to rest?"

Zhan Xuan gritted his teeth, frowned at Ye Li, and then staggered out.

Ye Li said in panic: "Aunt, I'm a little worried about Boss Xuan, how about I go see him?"

Lin Yiwan shook her head: "No need, I can see that he is not drunk, he is just pretending. He dislikes me as a mother who talks too much, so he found an excuse to sneak away!"

Ye Li touched his nose awkwardly. He didn't expect Zhan Xuan to have such thoughts.

Then he would be even more afraid to escape!

Lest you be hated too!

Zhan Xuan had already arrived at the backyard. He frowned and muttered, "What a fool! No wonder the elders like him so much. Even when they ask so many questions, they don't seem annoyed at all!"

He glanced towards the private room again, not giving up, and then raised his eyebrows in frustration: "If you don't come to accompany me, I will go back to sleep!"

He walked towards the wing room, but he couldn't remember which one he was staying in.

Just then, a little girl walked by, and he subconsciously asked, "Do you know where the plum blossom room is? Why do all the rooms here look the same?"

The little girl tilted her head and replied, "Sir, Plum Blossom's room is on the second floor. Can I take you there?"

Zhan Xuan quickly waved his hands: "No, I can go there by myself!"

After saying that, he turned and walked into the corridor.

It was just that there was water spilled on the corridor, and he couldn't stand firmly for a moment, and he fell forward subconsciously.

A worried voice suddenly came from behind: "Young Master?"

Zhan Xuan was grabbed in time and almost caused the little girl to fall down with him.

He quickly asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

The little girl was obviously grimacing in pain, but she kept saying that it was okay.

Zhan Xuan grabbed her arm and found that the skin on her palm had been scratched by the column.

He frowned and glared at her: "You said you were fine, come on, go to my room first, I'll help you apply some medicine!"

The little girl didn't refuse and followed him obediently.

After the two of them entered the plum blossom room, a maid secretly replaced the mark.

Zhan Xuan was still kept in the dark. He was taking the medicine and asking the little girl to apply it on the wound.

The little girl's movements were a little clumsy, and the trauma medicine was all over her clothes.

Zhan Xuan couldn't bear to watch it and could only help her apply it.

The two were so close that he could smell a strange fragrance faintly emanating from her hair.

He subconsciously looked over and found a fresh flower stuck in her hair.

He asked curiously, "What kind of flower are you wearing? It smells so good!"

The little girl looked up and replied, "Hibiscus flower, I stole it from my sister and put it on. Please don't tell anyone!"

She looked adorable with her uneasy smile.

Zhan Xuan didn't say anything else. After helping her apply the medicine, he sent her out.

However, the door was locked from the outside and could not be opened no matter what.

The little girl was so frightened that she started crying: "What should I do? Why can't I open the door all of a sudden?"

Zhan Xuan whispered to comfort him: "Don't cry, don't you have a mouth under your nose? Just shout for someone to open the door!"

The little girl quickly and pitifully grabbed his arm and said, "No, don't shout for help. If they knew that you and I were alone in the same room, my elders would beat me to death!"

Zhan Xuan's expression suddenly became serious. He had not thought of this.

He reached out and tugged at the door, but it still wouldn't open.

He couldn't help but frown and ask, "What should we do? We can't just sit here and waste time, right?"

The little girl sobbed in grievance: "I beg you, can you wait until tomorrow morning to call for help? That way I can sneak out and won't arouse suspicion!"

Zhan Xuan shook his head without hesitation: "That won't work. It will be even more difficult to explain tomorrow morning. Now we have to find a way to break the door open!"
