The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

After thinking about it, Ning Jin held Xie Yu in his arms and strode out of the bamboo garden without saying a word.

Xie Yu blinked and said anxiously in his arms: "Brother Ning, don't leave yet! I... cough cough cough..."

"Tsk! Stop talking! Behave!"

"Cough cough..."

Xie Yu didn't say anything else, but kept coughing intermittently all the way back to Tongxin Garden.

The moment Ning Jin gently placed her on the bed, she heard the system prompt.

[The system has detected that Li Shu's luck has dropped by 100 points. I am now adding 100 points to the host. The total points the host currently owes the system are 50,100. Please work hard to earn points and pay them back as soon as possible.]

Fifty thousand and one hundred!!!

Xie Yu maintained a weak look on his face, but secretly he was gritting his teeth in hatred.

Because she heard on the way to Zhuyuan that Li Shu's luck points increased by another 100, she was anxious and borrowed 100 points to buy a teleport and flashed to Zhuyuan!

Now, even though Li Shu’s 100 luck points have been deducted, she still owes the system more points!

Damn Li Shu!

Why didn't he just follow the routine and start crying, making a fuss, and then threatening to commit suicide? Instead, he had to use this method that could control Ning Jin!

It really makes her mad!

……

Peacock Terrace is located on Yongle Street, the most prosperous street in Beijing, and covers a large area.

After entering the Peacock Terrace, Nanny Gui introduced herself to a waiter in the lobby and explained her purpose. She then showed the waiter the pair of peacock earrings. Then the waiter ran away in a hurry, leaving her waiting in the bustling lobby on the first floor.

This wait took an hour or so!

Although someone invited her to sit at an empty table and served her tea and snacks, she was still very anxious while waiting.

After much difficulty, she finally managed to get the waiter back. He led her around the Peacock Terrace for about quarter of an hour.

Finally, she was led into a room that was relatively quiet compared to the bustling lobby and filled with a strong aroma of medicine.

The room is decorated in a simple and pleasant style.

A man in black stood beside the bed in the room.

About sixteen or seventeen years old.

There was a chill all over her body, yet she looked stunningly beautiful.

Even though she was old and used to seeing all kinds of handsome men, she couldn't take her eyes off the man the moment she saw his face clearly.

It was not until the man became impatient with her gaze and turned away with a frown that she suppressed the slight embarrassment in her heart and looked at the bed.

On the bed lay a beautiful woman with a very pale face.

About thirty-five or thirty-six years old.

The look he gave her was filled with inquiry and a bit of...

happy?

Aunt Gui hesitated for a few moments before stepping forward and asking, "Are you Kong Sanniang?"

She thought that since the pair of peacock earrings were a life-saving item left to her by the general's wife, the beautiful woman in front of her must have a certain relationship with the general's wife.

Therefore, even though the other person was much younger than her, she still used a respectful title.

Kong Sanniang nodded at her.

She hurried forward and presented the pair of peacock earrings.

He said, "Old servant Guiyue, my wife is Li Shu, the wife of the prince of Dingbei Marquis Mansion. She asked me to bring this to you."

Kong Sanniang lowered her eyes slightly and stared at the peacock earrings for a long time before she spoke again, "Yuan'er, bring a chair to Madam Gui."

"Yes."

The man in black did as he was told.

After Nanny Gui sat down on the chair he brought, she couldn't help but look at him again.

I thought to myself that although Kong Sanniang was beautiful, she didn't look at all like this young man, and I didn't know if they were mother and son or master and servant.

Just as she finished thinking that, she heard Kong Sanniang say, "Yuan'er is an orphan I picked up from the mass grave fourteen years ago. We're not my mother and son, but we're better than mother and son. But to this day, he still refuses to call me mother, and instead calls me Sanniang like everyone else."

Nanny Gui felt secretly embarrassed again.

Fortunately, Kong Sanniang immediately changed the subject to the peacock earrings. "They were originally mine. Fifteen years ago, when I last visited your wife's mother, I gave them to her. She also asked me to protect your wife when the time was right. She also promised her that seeing them would be like seeing her in person, and that I would never let her down."

15 years ago?

Didn’t the general’s wife pass away suddenly and without any warning fifteen years ago?

So when Kong Sanniang said that the general's wife had asked her to protect her fifteen years ago, did it mean that the general's wife did not die suddenly without any warning, but had contracted some rare and difficult disease and had known that she did not have much time left?

But after the general's wife passed away, the general, several young masters, and his wife, who was just five years old at the time, did not seem to know in advance that the general's wife did not have much time left!

It couldn't be that the general's wife was seriously ill but hid it from everyone around her, right?

Nanny Gui was filled with doubts.

Before he could decide whether to ask, he heard Kong Sanniang say, "Because I never knew when the so-called ripe time would be, I never took the initiative to see your wife all these years. Now that your wife has finally come to me, I should have gone to see her immediately, but the miracle doctor I have been looking for for many years has finally found some news. I need to leave the capital immediately and go to where he is to ask him to treat me, otherwise I won't have much time left, so..."

Hearing this, Aunt Gui hurriedly asked, "When will you return to Beijing?"

Kong Sanniang shook her head. "This is an old problem of mine that has lasted for almost thirty years. Even that miracle doctor wouldn't be able to cure me in a short period of time."

"Then what should I do? My wife needs your help!"

"Help? What happened?"

Kong Sanniang's gentle face suddenly became solemn and serious.

But Madam Gui shook her head and said, "I don't know exactly what happened. I only know that when Madam entered the palace for a banquet yesterday, she and Miss Xie accidentally fell into the water. So I guess someone is trying to murder our Madam. Otherwise, Madam wouldn't have asked me to come to you with the pair of peacock earrings she claimed could save her life!"

"Miss Xie... is she the Xie Yu who saved Young Marquis Ning's life?"

"Exactly."

"..."

Kong Sanniang stopped talking.

After a long silence with his lips pursed, he suddenly said, "How about this, before I return to the capital, I will let Yuan'er go to your wife as a secret guard to protect her."

Hearing this, Nanny Gui subconsciously looked at the man in black again.

I thought to myself, this guy is not only good-looking and has a nice voice, but he is also a master?

It's a pity that he is an orphan.

If he was born in a wealthy family and was a young master, he would be like their prince, driving all the unmarried young ladies in the capital crazy!

Kong Sanniang added, "Yuan'er has studied martial arts diligently since he was young, and with the guidance of a master, his skills are not unmatched in the world, but he is ranked first in the capital. With him by your wife's side, she will never encounter an accident like falling into the water again. When I recover from my illness and return to the capital, I will go to see your wife immediately."

"it is good!"

"Then please return to the capital first. After that, Yuan'er will quietly go to the Dingbei Marquis's mansion to meet your wife."

"Yes, I will take my leave first."

After saying this, Aunt Gui stood up and looked at the peacock earrings still in her hand and said, "This pair of earrings..."

Before she could finish, Kong Sanniang spoke up, "Take it back to your wife. If she likes it, she can wear it occasionally. If she doesn't like it, she can keep it."

"Yes."

"By the way...Yuan'er's name is Linyuan."

"Old slave, I took note of it."

Nanny Gui nodded and said this, and couldn't help but give Lin Yuan one last look.

But his eyes were now clear and bright, and the coldness that had lingered around him just now had disappeared, making it even more difficult to look away.
