I Win

Su Liang knew that it was useless to tell Xing Yusheng not to let Lin Xueqing come.

But she was mentally prepared. Not being able to cry and being silent with an expressionless face was also a way to express sadness.

Seeing Qin Yujin's red eyes and Lin Xueqing not speaking yet, she burst into tears. Su Liang hugged her and patted her back gently, thinking that the real Ning Jing would see that there were people in this world who really cared about him.

"Sister Liang, cry if you want." Qin Yujin held Su Liang's hand.

Su Liang shook his head, but did not persuade Lin Xueqing not to cry, because emotions always had to be vented.

Xing Yusheng came with Qi Jun again. When they got off the car, they saw a strange man and woman standing at the door, talking to the guards at the door.

The guards were arranged by Duanmu Chen and did not leave after Su Liang came back.

Xing Yusheng walked over and asked, "Who is it?"

"Xing Shizi, this lady claims to be the sister of Lord Ning." A guard said.

Xing Yusheng's eyes fell on the young woman with beautiful features, simple dress, and obviously pregnant with a bulging belly, and then he heard Qi Jun whisper in his ear, "Mr. Ning originally had a half-sister who was still alive, the ninth, who was the second wife of the third son of the Sun family in the Ministry of Revenue's Office."

After Ning Jing was framed and expelled from the Ning family, the person who really held power in the Ning family was his half-brother Ning Yao, and the ninth daughter of the Ning family, Ning Xiner, married to the Sun Minister's Office in the capital last year, and was the concubine of the third son of the Sun family.

That was a marriage that Ning Yao had carefully planned in order to climb up to the official family in the capital. But even if the Ning family was one of the four major merchants in the country, his sister was not even qualified to be the principal wife of a bastard son of an official family, and could only be a concubine.

In order to avenge the real Ning Jing, Gu Ling crushed all the scum of the Ning family in Xunyang City, leaving only the ninth daughter Ning Xiner who was in the capital at that time.

The wife of the third son of the Sun family died of dystocia at the end of last year, and he never remarried, and never dared to come to "Ning Jing" to recognize his relatives.

Minister Sun was "Ning Jing's" superior in the Ministry of Revenue. They were usually very friendly when they met, but he never mentioned his son's concubine.

Until half a month ago, the day after "Ning Jing" died, the Sun family made Ning Xiner the legal wife.

Su Liang came back today, and Ning Xiner and her husband came to visit.

"What are you doing here?" Xing Yusheng asked coldly. Even if he didn't know the twists and turns, he was sure of one thing, that Ning Jing had no brothers or sisters.

Ning Xiner's eyes were red, and she said timidly, "I just want to see my seventh brother."

"Wait outside." Xing Yusheng finished speaking, and took Qi Jun in.

Ning Xiner and his wife stood outside waiting.

"Master, I think the Sun family wants to use Ning Xiner to seek Ning's property." Qi Jun said. During the time when he pretended to be Ning Jing and worked in the Ministry of Revenue, he investigated Ning Xiner out of boredom. When her parents and brothers got into trouble, she was pregnant, so she was not driven away by the Sun family. She hasn't given birth yet, but it's said to be a son.

Qi Jun believes that the Sun family let Ning Xiner, the daughter of a merchant, marry in for money. It is said that Ning Yao gave her a very generous dowry and gave Minister Sun a lot of valuable antiques.

Officials in the capital may not all be wealthy, unless their ancestors were rich.

With "Ning Jing" taking back the Ning family, the Sun family's way of using Ning Xiner to continue to make money from the Ning family was cut off.

Now that "Ning Jing" is dead, many people are secretly paying attention to who will take over the Ning family's property.

Although Ning Xiner is not a serious member of the Ning family, her surname is Ning after all.

After listening to what Qi Jun said, Xing Yusheng snorted, "Dream on! Ning Jing is gone. Even if Su Liang doesn't want everything from him, it won't be the turn of that bastard sister and her in-laws!"

"I don't know if Miss Su will take the Ning family's property. This will actually be criticized." Qi Jun analyzed very objectively.

Because Su Liang and "Ning Jing" have not yet married. If you really count, in the eyes of many people, if the Ning family has no other descendants, Ning Xiner is more qualified than Su Liang to get the Ning family's property.

When the master and servant entered the yard, they heard Lin Xueqing crying.

Xing Yusheng sighed deeply, and when he entered the door, he saw Lin Xueqing leaning on Su Liang, crying so hard that her eyes were swollen.

"Qing'er, don't be like this, Su Liang is already uncomfortable enough." Xing Yusheng persuaded.

Qin Yujin also said, "Yes, don't cry, Mr. Ning is still alive, and I hope you are all well."

Xing Yusheng broke the sad atmosphere in the room and mentioned Ning Xiner.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment. She knew there was such a person, but she really forgot about it. She didn't know whether Gu Ling forgot about it or was too lazy to care.

As for Ning Xiner, she just jumped out now, and she has the support of her husband's family. Su Liang certainly understands what the Sun family wants to do.

"What do you think about the Ning family's property?" Xing Yusheng asked Su Liang.

Su Liang said with a cold face, "Ning Jing said before his death that the master of the Ning family is him and me. When he is gone, everything he has is mine, and no one else can get involved!"

Xing Yusheng nodded, "Then let Ning Xiner go."

Su Liang knew that this would make people think that she was greedy for money, but that was not important. Ning Xiner was just a pawn manipulated by Ning Yao, and Su Liang had no interest in doing anything to her until now, but she wanted to use the surname "Ning" to seek something, which was wishful thinking.

And Gu Ling did tell the managers of the Ning family that Su Liang was his sister-in-law and the only master of the Ning family besides him. If he met with an accident one day, everything in the Ning family would belong to Su Liang.

Su Liang is not short of money. Even if she uses all the Ning family's property for charity in the future to comfort the souls who are truly peaceful in heaven, it is impossible for Ning Xin'er to get it.

After some hard talk, Su Liang persuaded Lin Xueqing to go back.

Xing Yusheng also left, saying that he would drive Ning Xin'er and his wife away.

After finally sending all the guests away, Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief. When he went to the garden, he saw someone fishing, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat and unable to see his face.

"You haven't caught a fish for so long?" Su Liang saw that the barrel was empty.

Gu Ling sat motionless, "They are not little squirrels."

Su Liang held her forehead, "It's so pitiful that you are targeting it. But have you ever thought about whether Qi Jun would catch your little squirrel and eat it while we were not at home?"

She knew that Gu Ling marked the fish, but she felt it was unnecessary. It was really unnecessary.

Gu Ling's hand holding the fishing rod paused, "No."

"Why not?" Su Liang expressed curiosity.

Gu Ling said, "I think it's still there."

Su Liang shrugged, "If you trust your intuition so much, just keep fishing." Then he mentioned Ning Xiner's matter to him.

Gu Ling only said two words, "Drive away."

Su Liang hummed, "The Sun family may think that for the sake of good reputation, I will take the initiative to give up the Ning family's property, and even repair the relationship with Ning Xin'er and let her die in peace. Then I bet that the Sun family will not dare to openly follow I'll take it unless they lose their face."

It's unfair to say that Su Liang's name is unfair, so what does the Sun family mean? Ning Xin'er's identity as Miss Ning is still open to question, not to mention that she is already married.

Su Liang is a pragmatist and doesn't care about false reputation.

After watching fishing for a while, Su Liang felt bored and went back.

Not long after Lin Xueqing left, Lin Shuzhi came again, and Su Liang could only brace up and deal with it.

Lin Shuzhi told Su Liang the last time "Ningjing" met him before his death, and shed tears as he spoke, "I know he has you in his heart, but he was awkward and refused to admit it, and who knew something happened. Although he didn't I haven’t left a single word, but I have watched him grow up as a teacher, and he is the most kind-hearted. I definitely don’t want you to be sad for him. You are still young, so you have to look forward to the future.”

Su Liang nodded, "Master, don't worry, I understand everything."

"I heard Yu Sheng said that you want to send A Jing back to Xunyang City tomorrow? I won't go as a teacher, and I can't help you much. Let your second brother accompany you." Lin Shuzhi said sincerely.

Su Liang had expected this, and shook his head and refused, "No need. My second brother just got married not long ago, so let him stay in the capital. I can do it alone, and I have asked for leave from the emperor and plan to bury Ning Jing in Xunyang. Live in the city for a while and get familiar with the Ning family’s business.”

Seeing Su Liang's insistence, Lin Shuzhi gave up, "It's okay, you have always been the most thoughtful. Since you want to be quiet for a while, I won't let them disturb you. I hope you can pick up your mood and come back soon."

Su Liang sent Lin Shuzhi away and asked two stewards of the Ning family in the capital to arrange to send "Ning Jing" back to Xunyang City tomorrow.

Ning Xin'er and his wife had already been driven away by Xing Yusheng. As for whether the Sun family would arrange something for Su Liang, she didn't bother to care at all.

Su Liang also knew that the manager of the Ning family did not dare to "rebellion". The important reason was that she was not someone to be trifled with. She was a military commander and an imperial physician. She was a celebrity in front of the emperor and had a backer in the capital. Even the Sun family only wanted to fight through moral kidnapping, and it couldn't make any waves.

When the sun set, Chang'an came to the door, bringing Duanmu Chen's greetings and asking about Su Liang's arrangements for leaving Beijing tomorrow.

"There is no need to trouble Your Highness the Fourth Prince. The Ning family has people available in the capital, and arrangements have been made." Su Liang said.

"Miss Su, don't worry about the Sun family, they won't bother you again." Chang'an pointed out.

Su Liang was not surprised that Duanmu Chen already knew about Ning Xin'er's visit and planned to help her deal with it. She did not refuse and only asked Chang An to convey her gratitude to Duan Muchen.

Su Liang asked Changan to remove the guards, and he complied.

As for the matter of letters in blood, Duanmu Chen did not let Changan mention it to Su Liang again, because he knew that Xing Yusheng would definitely tell her.

Su Liang did not agree with Xing Yusheng's proposal to rebel. One reason was that Xing Yusheng himself did not have such ability. Even if he really wanted to do it, he would have to rely on Xing Ji. And Xing Ji is not an ambitious person. On the contrary, he is a person who values ​​love and justice. A man with a stable family. And it's really not necessary. Duanmu Yi's behavior of shielding his son cannot be equated with that of a foolish king. What Su Liang wants to avenge is personal revenge, and there is no need to go to war and sacrifice innocent people.

In fact, Xing Yusheng calmed down and realized that it was not appropriate to do so, so when he saw Su Liang, he just mentioned it. Su Liang unexpectedly rejected it and never mentioned it again.

The Su Mansion became quiet, and there were fresh ingredients in the kitchen that Su Liang asked the steward to deliver. She was a little hungry and was thinking about making something for dinner. She didn't care that someone had not returned from fishing.

Su Liang had just washed the vegetables when she heard footsteps. She turned around and saw Gu Ling coming in carrying a wooden bucket.

"Did you catch your little squirrel?" Su Liang looked into the barrel.

I saw a fat fish swinging its tail and swimming around in the bucket while bumping against the wall.

"How do you know it's a squirrel? If you call it, will it respond?" Su Liang joked.

Gu Ling's thin lips parted slightly, "Su Liang."

Su Liang responded subconsciously.

Just listen to Gu Ling say, "You are Su Liang. But you are not a fish, and you don't understand how fish respond."

Su Liang blinked, "You are not me, how do you know that I don't understand how fish respond?"

Gu Ling said, "You are not me, how could I know that you don't understand fish..." Before he could finish his words, he seemed to notice boredom, so he ended this topic that could go on endlessly, "I'm hungry."

"I'm very hungry too. Acting is a tiring job. As promised, you will cook tonight." Su Liang said.

"I only cook fish." Gu Ling said, taking out the fish from the barrel.

"Gu Ling." Su Liang called him.

"Yeah." Gu Ling responded.

Su Liang chuckled, "You heard it, that's how fish respond."

Gu Ling glanced at Su Liang and made a move to throw the fish he was going to put into the basin towards her.

Su Liang subconsciously held her head in her hands, thinking that Gu Ling was going to hit her head with a fish, thinking that this person really couldn't take a joke.

As a result, the fish swung its tail into the basin, and Gu Ling picked up the kitchen knife and knocked it unconscious.

Su Liang said in a faint tone, "The little squirrel is so pitiful."

Gu Ling said, "Then don't eat it."

Su Liang hummed, "You have a beautiful idea."

Su Liang still needs to cook dinner. Gu Ling can only cook the squirrel fish he promised, and Su Liang needs to teach him.

However, Su Liang always believed that there was nothing Gu Ling couldn't learn if he wanted to. The fish he cut was obviously more even and delicate than the ones she made.

The two of them worked together in the kitchen to prepare dinner, which was no different from before. There was even progress, and one person was no longer just the one doing the work.

"By the way, you cut off the corpse's hands?" Su Liang suddenly remembered.

Gu Ling nodded, indicating that she guessed correctly.

"To avoid being discovered?" Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling shook his head and raised his left hand.

Su Liang saw the fragrant wood bracelet she gave him on his wrist, and was stunned for a moment, "That's right. If you don't cut off his hand, you have to put this thing on him. Hu Er gave him a pair of fragrant wood bracelets. The dragon and phoenix pendants are made as wedding gifts. If you don’t want them, they will all be mine.”

"It's all mine." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang nodded quickly, "If you want it, I'll give it to you. It's an antique and the carving is excellent. If you like carving, you can learn from it."

After the last squirrel fish is cooked, dinner is ready.

Su Liang took a bite and praised, "The little squirrel is so delicious."

After taking a few bites, a familiar female voice came from outside, "Sister Liang!"

Gu Ling picked up the squirrel fish and his bowls and chopsticks and ducked into the inner room.

The chopsticks that Su Liang stretched out fell into the air, and when she turned around, she saw Yan Shiba breaking in through the door and rushing toward her...

Su Liang didn't hide either, put down her chopsticks and let Yan Shiba hug her.

"Sister Liang, I heard that the pretty boy died, so I came back to see you. Are you okay?" Yan Shiba looked at Su Liang's face and said, "Not thin." His eyes fell on the food. "Are you still in the mood to make delicious food? I know you don't like that pretty boy named Ning at all!"

Su Liang pushed Yan Shiba away with a calm expression, "Everyone else has left. I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore."

Yan Shiba coughed lightly and sat down where Gu Ling was just now, "Okay, okay, sister, let Ningping rest in peace. Who killed him? Do you need sister to help you get revenge?"

"You went to Yan State and everything was done?" Su Liang asked.

Yan Shiba's face was full of annoyance when he heard this, "Don't mention it! Those bastards from the Yan Kingdom actually dared to trick me! It's a traitor from the Yan Yun Tower who wants to get rid of me and cooperates with a killer Lou from the Yan Kingdom. , set a trap for me! Yan Shiqi was hacked to death for saving me!"

Su Liang frowned, "Did you escape?" He grabbed Yan Shiba's wrist and took her pulse, "The internal injuries are serious."

Yan Shiba looked moved, "I knew Sister Liang had me in her heart."

Su Liang shook off her hand and said, "Speak carefully. Is Yan Shiqi really dead?"

"If you die, just die, so that he won't bother me to death every day." Yan Shibahun said nonchalantly, "He did it willingly, and I didn't force him. Sister Liang, you can't call me cold-blooded because of this. , some people are so mean, there’s nothing you can do about it!”

Su Liang felt that Yan Shiba had not changed at all. Those things have nothing to do with her and she doesn't want to comment.

"Sister Liang, get me some medicine. When I recover, take the people back and kill me!" A cold light flashed in Yan Shiba's eyes, and he was about to get Su Liang's chopsticks. "I'm starving, let me eat." point!"

Su Liang didn't let her succeed, "Come here to get the medicine in an hour. I don't care about food here."

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. Why have you become so stingy, Sister Liang?" Yan Shiba said and stood up, "Forget it, one hour is enough for me to go and see Beauty Xiaoyun! Let's go!"

After saying that, Yan Shiba went out and disappeared. She suffered severe internal injuries and was unaware of anyone in the room.

Su Liang closed the door, and Gu Ling came out with the squirrel fish and bowls and chopsticks, and put them back in their original positions without eating any of them.

Because Gu Ling cooked fish, he asked Su Liang to participate in washing the dishes, which Su Liang thought was reasonable.

After the two of them had tidied up the kitchen and heated up hot water, Su Liang went back to the room to prepare medicine for Yan Shiba.

An hour later, Yan Shiba came back on time, his face even uglier, "Damn it, I didn't see brother Xiaoyun, and I was slapped by the old bald donkey as an assassin!"

"Can you please stop looking for Chengyun in the future? He is a monk and is not suitable for you." Su Liang discussed with Yan Shiba seriously.

Yan Shiba chuckled and pinched Su Liang's chin, "Little beauty, if you go with your sister, I won't want him anymore!"

Su Liang rolled his eyes and threw the medicine to Yan Shiba, "Get out!"

Yan Shiba had no intention of staying. She wanted to find a place to recuperate. Before leaving, she said to Su Liang, "When my sister gets rid of those bastards, I will help you find Gu Meiren! Don't be with other ugly men." !”

…

Late at night.

Su Liang packed the luggage that she was going to take away tomorrow. When she saw Gu Ling still sitting in her room reading, she asked him, "How do you sleep? There is a death in your room. If you don't want to go there, take the bedding and move to another yard."

Gu Ling closed the book in his hand and stood up, "Go and plant trees."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"The tree was given by Xing Yusheng." Gu Ling finished speaking and walked out the door.

Only then did Su Liang react. There is a pomegranate tree lying in the garden. Xing Yusheng sent it here half a month ago. Because of the "Ningjing" incident, no one took care of it and it has not been planted yet. It rained twice in the middle, so the tree should still be alive.

…

The moonlight is bright, the night breeze is cool, and the lake water is rippling gently.

Gu Ling had dug the tree pit a long time ago. At the lakeside, he dug it again, then worked with Su Liang to put the tree in and bury it with soil.

Gu Ling went in front, and Su Liang followed behind. Together they walked around the tree and trampled the soil firmly.

Su Liang looked at Gu Ling's back and suddenly made a sneak attack!

After the two of them circled the tree and exchanged dozens of moves, Su Liang was beaten by Gu Ling and retreated to the lake. He slipped and almost fell into the water. Gu Ling grabbed his wrist and brought him back.

Su Liang rushed into Gu Ling's arms, but before physical contact, she turned around and pushed Gu Ling towards the lake with her backhand.

Su Liang was about to say "A soldier never tires of deceit", but was completely stunned when he saw Gu Lingzhen falling into the water.

"Master, do you want to take a bath in the water?" Su Liang asked doubtfully. Because of Gu Ling's strength, even if she was successfully attacked by her, he could still control his body and return to the shore at the last moment when he fell into the water.

Gu Ling's head came out of the water, and his hair was soaked. He looked at Su Liang with cold eyes and commented on her martial arts, "There is progress."

Su Liang nodded, "While you were away, I practiced well."

"Go back." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you going to come up?"

Gu Ling said two words, "Take a bath."

Su Liang held his forehead and turned around, waving his hand behind him, "I won't disturb you."

After taking a few steps, Su Liang stopped and did not look back, "Master, it seems that you have no clean clothes to wear after washing. Could it be that I knocked you into the water and you said you wanted to take a bath to save your respect?"

Hearing the joking in Su Liang's voice, Gu Ling, who had already left the other side, glanced at her and disappeared silently.

Su Liang didn't hear the sound and turned around, wondering if there was anyone else in the lake?

"There has indeed been progress. I will win this battle tonight." Su Liang went back to sleep in a happy mood.
