Chapter 309 Buying a Young Wife?
When Mo Lingwei and Chen Shaobei rode to the barracks.
But they only saw Shen Ningning sitting in the warm tent, with Jiang Zhi talking beside her.
Mo Lingwei took two steps at a time and walked forward.
His cold eyes looked at the little girl from head to toe.
"Are you okay?" He was relieved to see that she was fine and didn't look like she had been crying.
Shen Ningning's little face had been washed white.
At this moment, a pair of big black eyes and a pink little mouth showed a lovely smile.
"I'm fine, brother, aren't you busy with government affairs? Why are you here?"
Chen Shaobei stepped forward and said, "Just now someone reported that the princess was wronged here, and His Highness came here in a hurry."
Jiang Zhi stood up with eyes wide open.
"Excuse me, General Chen, but the soldiers under your command are too evil."
"He actually wanted to lock Ningning in the stable and use the untamed wild horse to trample her to death."
"Fortunately, Ningning has always been smart and lucky, and can communicate with animals. Otherwise, if something happened to her, it would be too late to regret."
Chen Shaobei and Mo Lingwei's faces sank at the same time.
"Who in my barracks dares to be so bold?" Chen Shaobei asked.
Jiang Zhi said: "Isn't it the deputy lieutenant you punished, Yang San."
Mo Lingwei's tone was gloomy: "Where is he?"
Jiang Zhi glanced outside.
"He was taken away by Lord Xie Shaoqing just now, and he hasn't come back yet."
Mo Lingwei frowned coldly.
Why is Xie Mingan here too?
Shen Ningning jumped off the chair and walked towards Mo Lingwei.
"Brother, let's go back."
"I'll punish that Yang San for you, and we'll go."
Shen Ningning shook her head.
"Leave the things here to Brother Chen Shaobei."
Mo Lingwei is the prince. Once he gives an order, the entire barracks will be affected.
So, for Shen Ningning's sake, Mo Lingwei put his hands behind his back and pondered for a moment.
His cold face was ruthless.
Mo Lingwei ordered Chen Shaobei: "That Yang San is unforgivable and has committed a taboo."
"You will punish him according to military regulations, drive him out of the barracks, and send him as a slave."
Chen Shaobei nodded and accepted the order.
Mo Lingwei then took Shen Ningning away.
Before leaving, the little guy did not forget to look back and waved to Jiang Zhi.
Mo Lingwei took her little hand and held it.
He said indifferently: "It's cold outside, cover your hands."
After they left, Chen Shaobei glanced at Jiang Zhi.
"Are you okay?"
Jiang Zhi shook her head: "Thank you for your concern, General. I'm fine."
After she said that, she remembered that she still had to train, so she bowed and said goodbye.
Chen Shaobei sat in the tent with a cold face, waiting for Xie Mingan to bring Yang San over.
After a while, Xie Mingan came back with Yang San, who was covered in wounds.
With a "bang", Yang San, who fainted from the pain, was thrown to the ground like a pile of rotten meat.
There was blood at the corner of his lips and a large bruise on his face.
Chen Shaobei was stunned and asked in a deep voice: "Has the Shaoqing tortured him?"
Xie Mingan's tone was calm, and he was wiping his bloody fingertips with a handkerchief soaked in snow water.
"It was a routine interrogation, and he only suffered a little physical pain."
"If it was my father who came today, I'm afraid he would be killed."
"General Chen, your people should be returned to you for disposal."
As he said that, he looked around and asked calmly: "Where is Shen Ningning?"
Chen Shaobei replied: "She has gone back with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Mingan paused while wiping his hands.
He went to vent her anger, and she didn't say a word to him.
He just left as soon as he said he would?
Xie Mingan's expression changed, and finally his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Chen Shaobei took in his performance calmly.
He stood up and said, "Sir Shaoqing, is there anything else you want to inspect? Do you need my cooperation?"
"If not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has issued an order to severely punish Yang San and demote him to a slave. I will go to work on this matter now."
Xie Mingan's jaw line was tight, and he said, "There is nothing for me to check. The young general is busy on his own. I'm leaving."
He turned around, the corner of his robe was raised, and his figure was cold.
Mo Lingwei took Shen Ningning back to the palace directly.
The cold wind was bleak, and the two rode in the same sedan chair.
The footsteps of the palace servants made a creaking sound on the snow.
Mo Lingwei asked Shen Ningning, "I have been busy with government affairs these days, and I haven't seen you come to the palace to see me?"
Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes and pinched a piece of gingerbread in her small hands.
Her voice was soft and innocent: "Brother is busy, I am busy too."
Mo Lingwei laughed angrily: "What are you busy with?"
Shen Ningning put down the gingerbread and counted with him on her fingers.
"Look, I had to help Mr. Zhang Liu return to Jiangnan before, so I was very busy."
"Later, I helped grandma deal with the troublesome relatives. Well, the people from the Ma family are still in prison now."
"My brother wrote to me a few days ago. He wants..."
Mo Lingwei raised his hand to stop the little guy from reporting the situation like a treasure.
He laughed and raised his eyebrows: "You are busier than me."
"But since you are going back to the palace with me today, you can stay with me in Zichen Palace for a day. I will be busy with government affairs, and you can read books."
Shen Ningning happily agreed.
It happened that they had arrived outside Zichen Palace and the sedan chair landed.
Shen Ningning was led out by Mo Lingwei.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure of a minister hurriedly passing by at the end of the palace road.
Shen Ningning blinked her eyes and saw it clearly.
"That old man, is he Ye Shangyi's grandfather?" It seemed to be Master Ye.
Mo Lingwei looked up.
He responded with a hum: "I heard that recently, Master Ye wanted to resign as the ninth prince's companion for Ye Shangyi, but Concubine Rong probably didn't agree."
Shen Ningning's eyelashes fluttered twice.
With Ye Shangyi's personality, it is indeed best to leave Concubine Rong.
Otherwise, she will be killed sooner or later!
The next day.
Shen Ningning was in the village, helping Grandma Qin to divide the silver and return it to the villagers before.
Dong Aniu borrowed a lot of things, and after being stolen by Lifen and others, most of them were sold.
Shen Ningning could only return the equivalent silver, but some villagers didn't want money, they just wanted their things back.
At this moment, the villagers lined up to enter the house to receive the silver.
Uncle Zhong stood on the left of the little guy, using an abacus.
Aunt Yun stood on the right. Every time they settled an account, Uncle Zhong quoted a price and Aunt Yun wrote it down.
Chen Ye was behind them, helping to bring out the compensation items.
When it was time for Sister-in-law Liu, she looked at the villagers behind her who had almost left.
"Ningning," Sister-in-law Liu smiled apologetically: "Look, what I lent to Dong Aniu before, in addition to rice and flour, there were also two wedding quilts from my family."
"These things can't be bought with silver on the market now. Can I just take the things and not the money?"
She felt a little embarrassed at the end.
After all, it was Dong Aniu who caused the trouble, but she could only ask Shen Ningning to compensate her.
Before coming, Uncle Liu did not approve of her approach.
He thought that Grandma Qin and Shen Ningning had helped the village so much, and it was really wrong to ask others to return the things.
But Sister-in-law Liu still came.
She looked at Shen Ningning nervously, observing her milky white face, fearing that she would get angry.
However, the little girl was not angry, and asked Chen Ye to bring the big package next to her.
She was wearing a festive Xiangyunxianghong brocade dress and a pair of fluffy earmuffs.
She looked at Aunt Liu with a smile: "I have thought of it for Aunt Liu a long time ago. Here, this is something for you, Aunt Liu, please take it well."
Aunt Liu was overjoyed and hurriedly took it from Chen Ye.
There were two bags of white rice and white flour on the ground, which were compensation for her.
In the package, there were actually two thick quilts.
It was much better than what she had given Dong Aniu before!
Shen Ningning asked: "Is this okay? Your quilt was lost by them, so I can only make up two more quilts for you."
Aunt Liu immediately said: "Okay, it's great!"
"Ningning, we are so lucky to have you in Xiangyun Village."
As she said this, she said goodbye again and again and prepared to leave.
Shen Ningning called her: "No one has come to the village chief's house all morning."
"Aunt Liu, please help me call them."
The old village chief had given Dong Aniu four fur coats and ten kilograms of pork.
All of them had to be returned.
However, Mrs. Liu said: "No one came from his house? I'm afraid he was not available!"
She looked outside the door, approached Shen Ningning, and a gossipy look appeared on her face.
"Ningning, you don't know yet, the old village chief recently bought a young wife from someone, and gave it to Uncle Deng as his wife!"
"Oh my, the father and son have been keeping the door closed all day, watching them closely."
Grandma Qin was weaving cotton and linen. When she heard this, she raised her head and frowned and said: "Aunt Liu!"
"Ningning is still a child, don't talk nonsense."
Shen Ningning was surprised.
"Buy a young wife...? What do you mean? Cangyun Country can only buy slaves, and buying a wife is against the law!"
