In a short while, Prince Ning had already arrived, dismounted and glanced at his second sister.

"Zizhou, who is this?"

Feng Zizhou quickly introduced: "This is my second cousin, the second daughter of the Si family. Cousin, this is His Royal Highness Prince Ning, Xiao Youchuan."

Prince Ning was originally nonchalant, but when he heard the name of the second daughter of the Si family, he immediately became solemn and bowed respectfully.

"I have long heard of Second Young Lady's great name, and I am delighted to finally meet her today. I hope Second Young Lady will do me the honor of inviting you to tea."

The second sister was completely stunned, staring at Prince Ning's every move. Tears welled up in her eyes when she heard his polite yet distant words.

Feng Zizhou was surprised and asked, "Cousin, what happened to you? What did I hear you shouting just now...who were you shouting?"

The second sister came back to her senses, took a deep breath, suppressed the doubts in her heart, shook her head and said, "Sorry, I... I suddenly feel a little unwell..."

"Ah? You're not feeling well? Is it because you got up too early?" Feng Zizhou said hurriedly, "Then... Your Highness Prince Ning, my cousin wants to borrow the set of 'Wen Taigong Xin'an'. I wonder if you can lend it to her?"

Prince Ning was also very surprised by his second sister's behavior, but he didn't say much, just nodded and said: "It is the second young lady who borrowed the book. Youchuan has no objection. I just ask the second young lady to agree that this book cannot be borrowed again."

After saying that, King Ning turned around and wanted Asong to get the book.

Unexpectedly, the second sister waved her hand: "No... no, I... I'm not feeling well. I can't read for the time being. I'll go back first."

She didn't care about Feng Zizhou, she ran away quickly with her skirt lifted up, got on the carriage directly, and urged the carriage to return home again and again.

Prince Ning was baffled and looked at Feng Zizhou in surprise: "What happened to your cousin?"

Feng Zizhou didn't know either. He scratched his head and said, "Maybe she's really not feeling well. Girls are shy sometimes, so it's hard for them to express their discomfort directly. Besides, if you go to get the book, you don't know how long she'll have to wait. She can't wait."

Prince Ning was helpless: "Okay, if she wants the book later, she can come and get it herself."

This meant that he was unwilling to give the book to Feng Zizhou or anyone else. Feng Zizhou spread his hands and followed him into the Dali Temple.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in books at all."

Prince Ning went to the library, where there were all the Great Zhou Law Code, as well as various case files, and various books on case resolution, etc. These were not sealed, and anyone who worked in the Dali Temple could borrow them after registering according to regulations.

Feng Zizhou took a look and sighed, "If my cousin could come in, she would forget about food and sleep and read day and night. She probably feels that she can't finish these books early because she doesn't know enough words."

King Ning thought of the girl's appearance. She was so beautiful and charming, which was different from his impression of her speaking for him through a wall.

To others, such a woman seems to be suitable for marriage and home, but she is too impulsive and reckless, and likes to study legal cases, which is not what a woman should do.

But he felt that girls could also have their own ambitions. It was a pity that the second girl was a girl. If she were a boy, even if she had no foundation, he could still let her work as a minor official in the Dali Temple.

The second sister didn't know how she got back home. After she got back, she went back to her room and lay on the bed, crying uncontrollably.

Her mother and maidservants were so frightened that they were silent. The personal maidservant hurried to Si Muyan's room and told her what had happened.

Si Muyan was free today, so she took Xiaoxia to play in the yard. Xiaoxia is almost two years old, and she can't walk steadily, but she refuses to be held. She insists on walking by herself, and she is very energetic, running all morning without stopping.

Hearing the second sister's maid talking, Si Muyan frowned and said, "Second Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable because you met Fourth Master Feng?"

The maid shook her head: "No, the Second Miss was quite polite to Fourth Master Feng. They talked for a long time and then went to the Dali Temple together. But when they got there, the Second Miss felt uncomfortable and insisted on coming back immediately."

Si Muyan called to Mother You and the people who served Xiao Xiaer: "You keep an eye on the young lady, I'll go see the second young lady."

When I went to my second sister's yard, my mother and the maids were all driven out by her. The doors and windows were closed on a hot day, and I didn't know what she was doing.

This is not like the second sister's style. Although she is stubborn, she is not the kind of person who makes people worry.

Si Muyan knocked on the door: "Second sister, I'm the eldest sister."

After waiting for a while, the door was finally opened. The second sister threw herself into Si Muyan's arms and burst into tears: "Sister, sister..."

She was surprised and aggrieved before, but she couldn't vent her feelings and could only cry silently. Now that she saw her relatives, how could she stop the sadness in her heart?

Si Muyan let her cry for a while before patting her shoulder: "Don't cry, if you have anything, tell your sister."

The two entered the house. The second sister forced herself to stop crying and told Si Muyan what happened today.

"Sister, Prince Ning... and Sanlang..."

Si Muyan asked, "Are you saying that Prince Ning and Jiang Jianqiu look alike?"

"I originally thought they just looked alike," the second sister choked up, "but when I got closer, I realized it wasn't just a resemblance, it was Sanlang. Big sister, Sanlang has three moles connected on the left side of his neck. How could it be such a coincidence that they look exactly the same and even have the same moles?"

Si Muyan pondered, "I heard before that His Royal Highness Prince Ning was only found a few years ago. He was brought to the common people by the cat-swapped prince and grew up there. I don't know much about him, though."

The Anle Marquis's Mansion had no dealings with the Ning Wang Mansion. Ning Wang's story was simply told by many people because his background was so bizarre. But the more this happened, the more diverse the stories became. They didn't know the specific circumstances.

The second sister said, "Sister, he really is Sanlang. I won't make a mistake. But he doesn't recognize me. He doesn't recognize me at all. Sister, how could he not recognize me? We are married and have been together through thick and thin. He...he...he is deliberately not recognizing me, isn't he?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild." Si Muyan held her second sister's hand. "If you don't know what the situation is, then let's find out. Let me ask someone to check the identity of His Royal Highness Prince Ning, and then we'll arrange a meeting with him."

The second sister wiped her tears and asked doubtfully, "Do you want to meet him? Do you want to ask him why he didn't recognize me?"

"We have to figure out why before we can make our next move." Si Muyan said, "Second sister, if it is confirmed that he is Jiang Jianqiu, but he cannot recognize you for the time being, do you still plan to keep him?"

The second sister's hands trembled uncontrollably. After a long moment, she shook her head. "Whether I was helpless or forced, since he doesn't acknowledge me, why should I want him? I... am not someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will."
