Chapter 564: My Second Brother Can Read Palms
After sending Lu Shaoyuan away, Shen Ningning returned to the room to pack her bags.
Several men from the Xie family stood at the door, looking at the calm Shen Ningning with some worry.
The more calm she was, the more Xie Suzhi felt distressed.
"Ning Ning, if you don't really want to go, dad will help you refuse."
This imperial edict must be the prince's own intention. For the sake of his daughter, Xie Suzhi would go to the emperor to complain even if he offended the emperor.
His daughter was about to get engaged, and it was ridiculous for the prince to call people into the palace in the name of a blessed girl to pray for him.
Shen Ningning raised her moist eyes: "Dad, I can't refuse, and I shouldn't refuse. Besides, don't worry, I know how to protect myself."
What's more, she still has an inexplicable trust in Mo Lingwei.
She knew he wouldn't really hurt her.
Thinking of the sudden kiss last time, Shen Ningning's eyes were complicated.
But he was afraid that his father and brothers would see it, so he tried his best to hide it.
Xie Suzhi had no choice but to call Xie Mingxu and Mr. Xie away, probably to discuss a solution.
He never likes to be passive when it comes to his daughter.
Shen Ningning was collecting her hairpin ring when she saw someone standing at the door from the corner of her eye.
She raised her eyes and looked a little surprised: "Brother Stinky, why haven't you left yet?"
Xie Ming'an folded his arms and leaned against the door frame, looking at her quietly with his thin black and white eyes.
Probably because of Xie Mingan's position, Shen Ningning always felt that being looked at by him like this made her heart feel empty for no reason.
She couldn't help but smile to dispel the confusion: "What happened?"
Xie Mingan: "You are a bit strange. Ever since you made an appointment with the prince to go to Zhuyuan that day, you seem to be hiding something from me."
With that said, he walked in, got a little closer to Shen Ningning, and looked at the subtle emotions hidden in his sister's eyes.
"Ning Ning, second brother has interrogated at least more than 3,000 prisoners. If they lied, sometimes they don't need to force a confession. Second brother can tell it just from their faces."
Shen Ningning laughed angrily and pretended to be stern, her pretty face filled with fake anger.
"Brother Stinky, what do you mean, you want to try me as a prisoner?"
"I don't dare, let alone do it to you, but my second brother has a unique skill. Come on, stretch out your hand."
Shen Ningning was a little wary: "What are you doing?"
Her second brother is extremely talented in solving cases.
Shen Ningning was really afraid that he would find out something.
Xie Ming'an smiled: "Hold it out, and I'll take a look at your palm."
Shen Ningning looked at him suspiciously and stretched out her little hand dubiously.
She had never heard that Xie Ming'an could read palms before.
Is it possible that he can also find out through her palm prints that she has concealed a secret?
Shen Ningning didn't believe it.
Xie Mingan sat next to her seriously, held her little hand, and looked back and forth carefully.
He asked like a casual conversation: "Are you really voluntarily entering the palace to pray for the emperor this time?"
"Yeah." Shen Ningning nodded.
Xie Mingan: "As for the prince, are you planning to go this time to make him give up completely?"
Shen Ningning did not answer this time. Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the look in her beautiful eyes.
Xie Mingan didn't ask this question again. Suddenly, the topic changed.
He asked: "Speaking of which, the two maids your father gave you, Late Spring and Late Spring, should be by your side at all times. Why are you only seeing Late Spring but not Late Spring recently?"
Shen Ningning's slender eyelashes trembled suddenly.
It was an extremely subtle reaction, but Xie Mingan captured it keenly.
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? It seems that there is something hidden about this matter."
Shen Ningning hurriedly argued: "Second Brother, don't talk nonsense. I just gave Sister Wanchun a holiday to let her relax."
"You are so good, why are you relaxing? She is a domestic slave and is loyal. If there is nothing important, she will definitely not leave without saying a word."
After Xie Mingan finished speaking, he raised Shen Ningning's little hand: "Also, sister, when you lie, your heart beats really fast."
Shen Ningning's beautiful eyes widened.
At some point, Xie Mingan's thumb was on her pulse.
Hurrah! So that's it.
Xie Mingan's so-called palm reading was to secretly control her heartbeat.
"When most people lie, no matter how calm they appear on the surface, they are still nervous inside."
After Xie Mingan finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and stared at Shen Ningning: "Sister, you sent Wan Chun away, right? Why?"
Shen Ningning immediately retracted her hand: "I told you! It's to give her a holiday."
"Second brother doesn't believe this reason." Xie Mingan said quietly: "Looking back now, late spring disappeared probably after you went to Zhuyuan. What happened? Did you encounter any trouble in Zhuyuan?"
Shen Ningning remained silent.
She used to only know that Xie Ming'an was sharp and could always see into people's hearts.
However, she didn't expect that he would be so powerful.
Xie Mingan imagined all the situations.
His sister was not someone to be bullied. If it was about late spring, there was no reason to send her away secretly.
So, who did they meet in Zhuyuan?
"Second brother," Shen Ningning finally spoke, her expression calmed down, and a faint haze appeared on her pretty face: "Don't ask any more questions. I don't want to report everything to my family."
Xie Mingan was startled.
"Of course I will give you all respect. You are my sister. I am just worried that you will be wronged but refuse to say anything."
"I have not been wronged."
Next, no matter how much Xie Mingan asked, Shen Ningning could not get anything out of her.
Therefore, Xie Mingan gave up asking.
When he came out of Shen Ningning's room, Xu Jingxi was waiting for him at the corner of the corridor.
"Second brother, what did you ask?"
"No," Xie Mingan concealed the matter about Wanchun. He looked at Xu Jingxi: "But you are a classmate of my sister, and you are also the closest to the group of friends around her. Don't you know what happened to her?"
"That's why I feel strange. I have asked Miss Ye, Princess Lingyi, and Princess Rongshu. They don't understand why Ningning suddenly chose Mr. Lu and got engaged to him."
Xie Mingan felt awkward and stood under the pillars of the corridor where the sun's shadows intersected.
He looked at the garden full of flowers, his eyes dark: "I think we have to find Wanchun, but since my sister sent her away, she must have made very thorough arrangements, so it is not easy to find her."
Xu Jingxi fell silent with him.
Suddenly.
Xie Mingan looked up: "Maybe my brother can help with this matter!"
"Brother?" Xu Jingxi was stunned for a moment.
Xie Mingan couldn't wait to raise his head and walked away. It seemed that he was going to find Xie Mingxu. Xu Jingxi hurriedly followed him.
In the evening, the dusk was like a ball of rouge, scattering the orange-red color of the entire sky, and embellishing the lintel of Xie's house with sparkling sparkles.
When Shen Ningning was wearing an ice-blue dress and was sent out by her family, the carriages arranged by the palace and the long line of imperial guards had been waiting for an incense stick of time.
Xie Suzhi held his daughter's wrist and whispered: "Ningning, don't worry. Daddy has arranged everything for you to enter the palace this time. Just pray for blessings and don't be afraid of conflicts with others."
The father and daughter knew who this person was talking about.
Shen Ningning was not afraid of Mo Lingwei, and she comforted Xie Suzhi.
"Daddy, don't worry. Didn't I say that I will be back in half a month at most?"
After saying that, the girl turned and walked towards the carriage, and the imperial guards immediately helped to lift the curtain.
Shen Ningning suddenly remembered something and turned back to remind: "Daddy, when I am in the palace, please help me to visit grandma and Wolf Dad more."
"I know, don't worry, when Xiao Lu left today, I also told him."
In this way, Shen Ningning had no more worries, and turned to bend down and entered the carriage.
The curtain was suddenly lowered, and the carriage covered with purple brocade drove away under the driver's drive.
The imperial guards bowed to Xie Suzhi and escorted him away.
However, what the Xie family didn't know was that Shen Ningning froze as soon as she got into the carriage.
Mo Lingwei, wearing a scarlet dragon robe, supported his dark eyebrows with one hand and held a scroll in the other hand. He had been waiting in the carriage for a long time.
He actually came to pick her up in person.
Shen Ningning subconsciously looked back at the curtain.
Mo Lingwei finally said coldly: "Even if you jump out of the car, I have a way to catch you and carry you back to the palace."
Shen Ningning's confused heart quickly calmed down.
She pursed her pink lips: "I'm not going to jump out of the car. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say he would come to greet me before. I'm just afraid that my father and brothers will be worried if they see it."
Mo Lingwei snorted, not knowing whether he believed her words or not.
Then, he held the scroll and knocked on the seat next to him.
Indicated Shen Ningning to sit over.
