Chapter 128: Lao Wang Caught an Adulterer
After dinner, Ning Sangsang chatted with Ning Xiaotian and Jiang for a while, then she said goodbye to Ning Xiaotian and Jiang and returned to the yard where she lived, using the excuse that she was tired and wanted to rest. After returning to the yard, she did not go back to her room, but went to look for Tie Niu.
When she reached his room, she stopped and knocked on the door. She heard a faint "Come in" from inside. Ning Sangsang pushed the door open and entered the room. She saw Jun Ze sitting at the table expressionlessly, wondering what he was thinking. She walked over, sat opposite him, and said to him, "Tie Niu, you are injured. Don't sit here all day long. Lie down on the bed and rest more."
[Get well soon, and do my work soon. I won’t keep useless people.]
Junze remained silent, immersed in his own thoughts. What happened to him? Why did he get seriously injured and lose his memory? How should he regain his lost memory? Junze frowned.
Ning Sangsang saw Junze frowning and asked him, "Tie Niu, what's wrong with you?"
Jun Ze looked at Ning Sangsang and said, "Did you know me before?"
Ning Sangsang blinked.
"I don't know him. Why are you asking this suddenly? Did you remember something?" Ning Sangsang asked him.
Jun Ze frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "I didn't remember anything, I just felt that you were very familiar, as if we had known each other before."
He thought, this girl knew his identity, so they must have known each other before.
"You have the same feeling, what a coincidence, I have the same feeling." Ning Sangsang held her chin and looked at him with a smile, "Tie Niu, to be honest, I felt that you were very familiar the first time I saw you, and the word "Tie Niu" also appeared in my mind involuntarily. I think you might have been my guard in your previous life, also named Tie Niu, so when you saw me in this life, you felt a sense of familiarity."
Junze: “…”
He shouldn't have asked this girl who liked to talk nonsense about his affairs! Jun Ze thought.
Seeing Jun Ze didn't say anything, Ning Sangsang continued, "Tie Niu, if you can't remember, forget it. Just stay by my side and protect me. I won't treat you unfairly."
[This Jun Ze is a martial arts expert, he can fight ten people at once. If he stays by my side, I won't have to do it myself if anyone messes with me. I can just let him do it.]
Jun Ze's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
Ning Sangsang knew that Jun Ze was a quiet person, so she ignored him and continued, "You should take good care of your injuries now and stop having random thoughts. Your brain is already in trouble now. If you continue to have random thoughts, I won't be responsible if you become a fool."
Jun Ze listened to this and looked at her straight, as if he wanted to see through her.
Ning Sangsang gave him a nice smile, "Okay, it's getting late, you should have a good rest, I won't disturb you anymore."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave. Suddenly she thought of something, so she took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and placed it on the table: "The pills in here will be good for your injury. Take three pills a day."
After saying that, she turned around and left the room without waiting for him to speak.
Junze watched her back disappear into the room before he withdrew his gaze and set his eyes on the small porcelain bottle on the table. He gently picked up the bottle, touched the cold porcelain surface with his fingertips, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Ning Sangsang came out of Junze's room and returned to her own room. After taking a shower and washing up, she lay on the bed to rest. She was tired after a day's work and fell asleep quickly.
While she was sleeping soundly, Shangshu Wang, who was affected by her thoughts, was not sleepy at all. He sat at the table with a stern face, waiting for the servants' report. There was no light in the room, and it was pitch black. The moonlight shone through the window on his face, outlining his tense outline. His mood was as deep and complicated as the night.
"Master, there's some movement from the Madam's end." A servant's low voice reported from outside the door, breaking the silence in the room.
Shangshu Wang looked outside suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Come in."
The door was gently pushed open from the outside, and a servant walked in quickly and reported to Minister Wang in a low voice: "Master, the Madam has gone to the west courtyard."
The West Courtyard is the most remote courtyard in the Shangshu Mansion. It has a very bad location and is far away from the main courtyard. It is empty and no one lives in it or takes care of it. It is an abandoned courtyard in the Shangshu Mansion, used to store unwanted debris.
When Shangshu Wang heard this, a glimmer flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment and said, "Do as I tell you to do later."
"Yes, sir."
Upon hearing this, Minister Wang stood up and left the room, and walked straight to the west courtyard. Miss Ning said that when he was strolling in the mansion tonight, he would catch his wife and housekeeper Lin having an affair, so he would do as Miss Ning said to verify whether what Miss Ning said was true.
The night was as dark as ink. Shangshu Wang walked towards the west courtyard with heavy steps and mixed feelings. The lanterns along the way cast mottled light and shadows on him, adding a bit of heaviness. His heart was filled with mixed feelings.
When we arrived at the west courtyard, everything was quiet all around, with only the occasional chirping of insects in the trees breaking the tranquility of the night.
Shangshu Wang stood outside the courtyard gate, took a deep breath, tried to calm the turbulent waves in his heart, and then gently walked into the west courtyard.
The yard was overgrown with weeds, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time. The moonlight barely illuminated the path ahead. He walked along the path quietly, still hoping that Ning Sangsang was talking nonsense and that his wife was not having an affair with Butler Lin.
At this moment, a faint conversation sounded from the room not far away. It was clearly audible. It was his wife's voice, accompanied by the whisper of another man. It was undoubtedly Butler Lin. His face suddenly darkened, he clenched his fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, a feeling of betrayal surged in his heart, and he wanted to rush in and scold the two of them, but thinking of Ning Sangsang's words, he did not act impulsively, but approached carefully and heard the conversation inside.
"Amei, are you sure you want to do this now?" Butler Lin's voice was a little hesitant.
"Now is the best time to do this. The old man is busy with government affairs all day and has no time to take care of these trivial matters in the backyard. As long as we act carefully, he won't know." Zhang's voice was cold and resolute, completely lacking her usual gentleness and virtue. "I am doing this for our future and the future of our daughter. When the old man and his silly daughter are gone, the Shangshu Mansion's property will belong to our family."
When Minister Wang heard this, he felt as if he had been hit hard in the heart. Anger and disappointment intertwined together, almost making him unable to stand steadily. He never expected that this gentle and virtuous wife could be so vicious. He calmed his mind and continued to listen to the conversation.
"I'll find an opportunity to get rid of that idiot tomorrow." Steward Lin's words revealed a strong murderous intent.
"Be careful, don't let anyone find out. Throw that idiot into the water and drown him. This way, when the old man finds out about this, he can say that it was that idiot who accidentally fell into the water and drowned." Zhang's tone was full of ruthlessness.
When Shangshu Wang heard this, his eyes were blazing with fire. Damn this adulterer and adulteress! Just when he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and wanted to rush in, he thought of what Ning Sangsang said about how he would be killed by this adulterer and adulteress. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and turned to leave, ready to go out and wait for Ah Fu to bring people over before he could deal with this adulterer and adulteress. However, when he turned to leave, he accidentally stepped on a dry branch and made a noise.
"Who?" A fierce voice came from inside. Shangshu Wang's heart tightened and he quickly found a secluded corner to hide. If it weren't for Ning Sangsang's thoughts, knowing that this adulterous couple would kill him after he discovered their secret, he really wanted to go out and scold them.
Hearing the noise, Steward Lin and Zhang hurried out of the house, looked around, looking for the thing that made the noise.
Shangshu Wang held his breath and tried not to make any sound. The yard was quiet and only the chirping of insects could be heard.
"Who's here? Get out!" Butler Lin looked around fiercely and said in a fierce voice.
Zhang also said coldly: "Those hiding here, come out quickly, I will spare your life, otherwise if we find you, you will die miserably."
Zhang thought that it was just a servant from the mansion who came here to look for unwanted items from the Shangshu Mansion and accidentally discovered them. She then used vicious words to scare the man out and then kill him. No matter what, she would not let anyone who knew their secret live in this world.
Shangshu Wang held his breath and suddenly felt that he was a little impulsive. He should not have waited for Ah Fu to bring people here to catch the adulterer, and he should not have come here alone and put himself in a dangerous situation.
After Butler Lin and Zhang finished talking, they saw that no one showed up. Butler Lin and Zhang looked at each other, then they split up and began searching the yard.
The person hiding here must have overheard their conversation, and we must not let that person leave this yard alive.
Shangshu Wang, who was hiding in the dark, saw Steward Lin walking towards them, his heart in his throat.
Just at this moment, footsteps were heard. It was Ah Fu who came in with his guards. Seeing Ah Fu coming with his men, Shangshu Wang immediately gained confidence. He no longer hid and emerged from the darkness.
When Zhang and Steward Lin saw Minister Wang, their faces changed drastically.
"Master, you..." Zhang was about to argue, but was interrupted by Minister Wang coldly, "I heard everything you said just now. I will put you two adulterers in a pig cage." After that, without waiting for her to say anything, he said, "Ah Fu, take them away and keep them under strict supervision."
After saying this, he turned around and left angrily, not caring how Zhang wailed or protested her injustice behind him.
After dealing with all this, Minister Wang stood alone in the moonlight, feeling mixed emotions. What the girl said was true, and he had now become a laughing stock in the court.
