The prince is very cruel

A face, fair and rosy, without any blemishes.

"fine."

"You say it's okay, but I clearly saw it. What's there that I can't hear?" Yuan Xiang was dissatisfied.

The two have become very familiar with each other these days.

"Hey!"

"pain!"

"What the hell are you doing?" Guan Ning cursed, covering his ears.

Yuan Xiang put her hands on her hips and snorted softly, her face full of temper: "Who told you to hide it from me?"

Guan Ning was speechless. This girl definitely had a broken palm!

"It's Zheng's business!"

"Zheng family? Isn't everything settled? Is there anything else?" Yuan Xiang was curious.

"The dust has settled, but the Zheng family is so huge after all. When a whale dies, all things come to life. The huge fortune they left behind is a hot commodity." Guan Ning said.

"Tsk, those things will definitely be seized and taken away by the court. How can you have a share of them?" Yuan Xiang said disdainfully, as if they were a pair of bickering lovers.

Guan Ning grinned, a little mysteriously: "That's not necessarily true."

"I'm going out for a while."

"Hey, wait for me, I'll go with you!"

"Ning Que, you bastard, wait for me!"

"Okay, don't come back. Don't even think about coming back. I'm not done with you!!"

Compared to Yuan Xiang's stubbornness and willfulness, who pestered Guan Ning to play with her all day long, Tang Xiang'er and Cao Ziyan were much more ladylike, especially Cao Ziyan. Perhaps because she had no clue about the fate of Guan Ning, she was too embarrassed to take the initiative, and most of the time she could only look at Guan Ning from afar.

However, her existence has begun to be accepted by everyone, and the people in the palace are also tacitly aware of it. Only Guan Ning is still hesitant.

Ling County, an official office.

Because of the fiefdom of King Ping, there is no county governor here. King Ping is in charge of all taxes, land, and criminal affairs here, which is very different from other prefectures.

The office is very large, with more than a dozen rows of attics alone. It is majestic and can accommodate hundreds of officials to handle affairs.

But because King Ping went to Xingyang to suppress Zheng, he took away almost everyone he could, and the rest were just guards, so it seemed unusually deserted.

Coupled with the first snow in midwinter, the eaves of the government office were covered with white snow, and it looked desolate at first glance.

boom!

A wooden door was gently pushed open, and the cold wind rushed into the house.

The person inside turned around in shock: "Who?!"

Guan Ning raised the corner of his mouth and walked in slowly.

The two looked at each other, and the woman was shocked!

"It's you!"

She was none other than Zheng's second wife, Roland.

At this moment, she was far from her former high-spirited and noble demeanor. Although she was dressed neatly, she could not hide her panic and loneliness.

After all, when the nest is overturned, all the eggs will remain intact. She did not become a prisoner, sitting in a prison car, and suffering from the cold, all because Guan Ning got rid of Li Zhibao.

"It's me. I didn't expect that we would meet again in Ling County after our last separation. How is it, madam? Did they give you any trouble?" Guan Ning smiled, looking harmless.

"you!"

"What did you say?"

"You've caused so much harm to my Zheng family. Now the entire Zheng family has been burned down. Do you think I can get away with it?" Roland was angry, and his still charming face turned red.

If she had known that things would develop to this point today, she would never have believed Guan Ning no matter what she said.

Guan Ning seemed very calm and closed the door gently to prevent the wind and snow from rushing in.

"I admit, I took advantage of you."

"But the Zheng family deserved it. You should know better than anyone what the Zheng family did and how many people died because of their hegemony."

"In other words, if Zheng hadn't done those suicidal things, how would I have had the chance?"

Roland snorted coldly: "Hmph!"

He gnashed his teeth and said, "Stop using these high-sounding tricks! You're clearly colluding with Prince Ping to deal with the Zheng family together. It sounds so nice!"

"Why don't you say you're doing this for the common people?"

Guan Ning smiled and didn't argue.

"Do you know why you were treated as a special case and sent to Ling County for custody?"

Roland's eyes flickered. This matter also puzzled her. The entire Zheng family was now prisoners. They were either dead or waiting to die. There would be no courtesy at all.
