96: Duan Zhengchun has arrived! (Seeking full subscription)
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Dao Baifeng also encountered Ning Yuan, who had just left Li Qingluo's room.
She could tell at a glance what Ning Yuan had been doing.
"It seems you've already finished."
Ning Yuan asked with a smile.
Dao Baifeng snorted, her face a little unnatural.
After all, she had been angry and sought revenge because Duan Zhengchun had been unfaithful to her everywhere.
Now, she had to actively help another man find women, and this contrast caused a great conflict within Dao Baifeng.
Ning Yuan, however, took Dao Baifeng's hand. Dao Baifeng blushed and could only be led forward.
When they arrived at the courtyard where Gan Baobao and Qin Hongmian lived, Dao Baifeng stopped, "You go in, I'm going back to rest."
"What, don't you want to see Gan Baobao?"
Ning Yuan turned and asked.
"No."
Dao Baifeng snorted and said coldly.
Although this might vent some anger, it would also be more awkward.
Dao Baifeng still had some reserve and couldn't bring herself to do such a thing.
It was only because Qin Hongmian saw her before that she had no choice but to act that way.
Ning Yuan smiled and didn't insist, turning to enter the room.
At this moment, Gan Baobao was tossed onto the bed, while Qin Hongmian stood beside her, arms crossed over her chest, staring coldly at Gan Baobao.
Seeing Ning Yuan enter, she snorted, "I've handed her over to you. It's up to you to handle the rest."
"Aunt Qin is indeed straightforward and decisive."
Ning Yuan gently clapped, while Qin Hongmian took a deep breath, glanced at Gan Baobao, and exited the room.
"Junior Sister, Junior Sister, I was wrong, let me go."
Gan Baobao quickly shouted, but Qin Hongmian only paused for a moment before leaving without looking back.
Then Gan Baobao looked at Ning Yuan, forcing a slightly stiff smile, "Young Master Murong, Junior Sister is just being foolish. You come from a prestigious family; you wouldn't do something like this, would you?"
"You are Ling'er's good friend, and I am Ling'er's mother, your elder!"
Gan Baobao quickly said.
"Madam Zhong, your words are mistaken. Aunt Qin is also my mother-in-law!"
Ning Yuan approached with a smiling face, "Didn't you also see what Aunt Qin did for me?"
At these words, Gan Baobao was speechless.
But Ning Yuan hadn't finished speaking and continued, "Duan Yu and I are also sworn brothers. Now his mother is also my lover. I presume you've guessed, haven't you?"
"This..."
Gan Baobao opened her mouth. Seeing Ning Yuan closing in, Gan Baobao knew it was a foregone conclusion and couldn't help but say angrily, "Murong Fu, we misjudged you. We thought you acted openly and honorably, a renowned hero of your generation, but you are so despicable, even more so than that vicious pervert Yun Zhonghe..."
Before Gan Baobao could finish, Ning Yuan choked her throat.
"Madam Zhong, some things shouldn't be said carelessly. The Princess, Aunt Qin, and I are truly in love; they offered themselves to me voluntarily."
Ning Yuan said coldly.
Gan Baobao's eyes widened, showing a trace of fear, but she still insisted, "But I don't love you."
"Madam Zhong, isn't that an incorrect statement?"
"What do you mean?"
Gan Baobao was startled.
"Did Madam Zhong forget that night in the Wanjie Valley room, when you were secretly intimate with someone, but called out my name?"
Ning Yuan's finger traced Gan Baobao's cheek.
Gan Baobao's pupils suddenly constricted upon hearing this, then she looked up in horror at Ning Yuan and said, "You, how do you know about this?"
"Were you also secretly listening then?"
Gan Baobao was nervous and quickly said, "Brother Chun made me call out then; I don't have any..."
"Madam Zhong, saying these things is meaningless now. Aunt Qin entrusted me with this matter, and I cannot disappoint her, so I can only offend Madam Zhong."
Ning Yuan stepped forward and untied Gan Baobao's belt.
Gan Baobao wanted to struggle, but having been affected by Bei Su Qing Feng, she had no strength left to resist.
"Murong Fu, Young Master Murong, you must calm down!"
Gan Baobao struggled and shouted.
But everything was in vain.
Early the next morning.
Gan Baobao awoke from her sleep, saw Murong Fu beside her, and tears immediately streamed down her face. Then, with murderous intent in her eyes, she tried to move, but a tearing pain came over her, leaving her powerless. She softened and fell into Ning Yuan's embrace.
"Madam Zhong, are you already thinking about it again so early?"
Ning Yuan opened his eyes and pulled Gan Baobao into his arms.
"Let go of me!"
Gan Baobao angrily slapped Ning Yuan's chest.
Everything from last night made Gan Baobao almost want to faint, unwilling to recall any of it.
"It seems Junior Sister had a very happy night! Such enthusiasm so early."
At this moment, the room door was pushed open, and Qin Hongmian walked in.
"Qin Hongmian, I will never forgive you!"
Gan Baobao saw Qin Hongmian and immediately shouted in rage.
"Junior Sister, in your current state, do you still have the right to criticize me?"
Qin Hongmian was unfazed, "Now we are both the same. If you dare to spread rumors about my affairs, then your affairs will also be publicized."
Qin Hongmian snorted coldly, then turned and left.
Gan Baobao fell weakly onto the bed, her eyes vacant.
"Madam Zhong, don't be afraid. If anything happens in the future, you can always come to me for help."
Ning Yuan also got up and dressed at this time, and as he was leaving, he whispered in Gan Baobao's ear, "There's one more thing, Madam Zhong, you are better than Aunt Qin in one aspect."
Gan Baobao looked up and heard Ning Yuan say with a smile, "You are more supple than Aunt Qin; she's too thin, not as comfortable as Madam Zhong."
Upon hearing this, Gan Baobao's cheeks immediately turned red, and she glared angrily at Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan, however, laughed heartily and turned to leave.
By the lake.
"Aunt Qin, I have completed what you asked of me. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
Ning Yuan smiled as he looked at Qin Hongmian opposite him, saying.
Qin Hongmian's expression was complex. She turned her head and snorted, "I always keep my word. I will fulfill one of them when I have time."
"Good, Aunt Qin is indeed a trustworthy person. Then I will wait for you, Auntie, hahahaha..."
Qin Yun chuckled softly and turned to leave.
Now there were only four days left until the departure time, so Ning Yuan was too lazy to Cultivate or try to increase his Luck points, as time was too tight, and it wasn't easy to continue increasing Luck points.
It would be better to relax for a few days.
Because after leaving this world, he would face new difficulties, and there might be more trouble then.
And not long after Qin Yun left, a maid from Yanz 塢 arrived, requesting to see Ning Yuan.
"Oh? Prince Zhennan of Dali wants to pay me a visit?"
Hearing that Duan Zhengchun had arrived at Yanz 塢, Ning Yuan's heart stirred. He stood up and said, "Uncle Duan has arrived, how can I, a Junior, not meet him? Go and invite Madam Duan, and we will go together."
"Yes!"
...On the other side, Dao Baifeng suddenly learned of Duan Zhengchun's arrival, and a trace of panic appeared on her face.
"Why is he here?"
"What should I do now!"
"Fortunately, I dealt with Gan Baobao's matter yesterday. As long as neither of us speaks, no one will know."
Dao Baifeng calmed herself down.
Then she got up and left, feigning composure... Yanz 塢.
Duan Zhengchun stood on the shore with his hands behind his back, gazing at the opposite bank, his expression complex.
Thinking of what his imperial brother Duan Zhengming had told him, Duan Zhengchun felt even more conflicted.
"Could it be that all of this was really Murong Fu's doing?"
"I didn't expect that I would actually invite a wolf into the house. I wonder how Yuer and Fenger are doing, and if they are in danger."
Duan Zhengchun's heart was heavy.
At this moment, Ruan Xingzhu stepped forward and took Duan Zhengchun's hand, "Darling Duan, why are you so nervous?"
Ruan Xingzhu didn't know that Duan Zhengchun had another purpose for coming here, so she was a little curious.
"No."
Duan Zhengchun immediately shook his head.
Ruan Xingzhu, however, snorted and said, "I knew it. You're worried that your wife will be angry when she sees me, and that's why you're troubled, right?"
"If that's the case, why did you bring me to Jiangnan?"
Ruan Xingzhu's face showed dissatisfaction.
"Ah Xing, don't be angry. I'm not worried about this matter; I'm worried about some other things."
Duan Zhengchun turned around and quickly tried to persuade her, "When I came to Jiangnan this time, I didn't know if bringing you was right or wrong. I'm worried that you might encounter danger."
"Danger? What do you mean?"
Ruan Xingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, then seemed to think of something, "Are you worried that your wife wants to kill me?"
"No, no. Although Fenger has a bad temper and is somewhat extreme, with me here, she can't harm you. I'm worried about someone else."
"Who?"
Ruan Xingzhu asked curiously, "Let's face whatever it is together. Don't always keep it to yourself. Perhaps an outsider sees more clearly than one involved. I, as an outsider, might even be able to give you some advice."
"This matter..."
Duan Zhengchun was about to speak but then showed hesitation, not wanting to involve Ruan Xingzhu in this matter.
Just as Duan Zhengchun was hesitating, Ning Yuan's voice came from behind.
"Uncle Duan has traveled a thousand li to come here, and I, a Junior, have failed to welcome you. I hope Uncle will forgive me!"
Ning Yuan cupped his hands with a smiling face.
Dao Baifeng also walked over from behind at this moment.
Seeing Ning Yuan, Duan Zhengchun didn't show any abnormality; instead, he also had a big smile, "Not at all, not at all. The Princess has troubled you a lot these days."
"Madam, have you been living well recently?"
Saying this, Duan Zhengchun looked at Dao Baifeng.
Dao Baifeng's face was cold, "You don't need to worry about that. It's you who never lacks women wherever you go."
As Dao Baifeng spoke, her gaze fell on Ruan Xingzhu, her eyes unfriendly, "And who is this woman of yours?"
"Madam, you've misunderstood."
Duan Zhengchun quickly stepped forward to explain, "This is Ruan Xingzhu, not..."
"Not what? Not your woman?"
Before Duan Zhengchun could finish, Dao Baifeng sneered and interrupted him.
Duan Zhengchun suddenly felt awkward.
However, Ruan Xingzhu was the most considerate of all the women to Duan Zhengchun, and she quickly explained, "Madam, you've misunderstood. Actually, I was rescued by Brother Duan on the road. Because he was worried I might encounter bad people, Brother Duan gave me a ride. There's nothing between us."
"Is that really so?"
Dao Baifeng was somewhat suspicious.
Under the gaze of several people, Duan Zhengchun could only nod awkwardly, but when his gaze fell on Ruan Xingzhu, he felt a bit apologetic.
Ruan Xingzhu, however, didn't mind.
"Everyone, let's not chat here. Uncle Duan, and Madam Ruan, please come into the residence for a talk."
Ning Yuan formally invited them.
This interrupted Duan Zhengchun's original intention to directly take Dao Baifeng away. Duan Zhengchun couldn't directly refuse, so he could only nod in agreement, "Then I will trouble Nephew."
To avoid attracting Ning Yuan's attention, Duan Zhengchun could only continue to pretend as if he knew nothing and asked nothing.
After all, if he really exposed the other party's true colors and they became enemies, with his strength, he probably wouldn't be able to escape with Dao Baifeng and Ruan Xingzhu.
Therefore, he had to play along.
Duan Zhengchun thought this, calming down a bit.
"I have stayed in the Prince's residence for many days without Uncle showing any disdain. Now that Uncle has finally come here, it is my opportunity as the host to show proper hospitality. How can you say you are troubling me?"
Ning Yuan feigned a displeased expression.
Duan Zhengchun laughed heartily upon hearing this. He looked at the surrounding scenery, and suddenly his heart stirred, "Worthy Nephew Murong, how far is Mantuo Manor from here?"
