ARDA - Chapter 151 - Someone is Following

 Jin Jingxiu was stubborn and refused to go to the Marquis Mansion to apologize to Jiang Ning.

Apologize? He won't, he would rather stay in the room for the rest of his life and never come out!

That woman Jiang Ning occupied Yue'er's position. She must have used some kind of ecstasy soup to confuse the people in the Marquis Mansion. Even her mother turned towards her inexplicably.

Jin Jingxiu was so angry that he couldn't leave his room.

Madam Jin had no choice but to go to the door of the Marquis' Mansion with a generous gift to apologize. She couldn't keep up her face and raised a good-for-nothing son.

After Jin Weilan learned the news, she also went to the Marquis Mansion with Madam Jin.

"Mom, I'm going to talk to A'ning."

"Okay, go ahead." Madam Jin nodded.

Jin Weilan went to the Ning'an courtyard and saw Jiang Ning with a guilty look on her face, "A'ning, I'm so sorry. My brother actually did such a bad thing. Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Ning shook her head. If Jin Jingxiu really made a move, he probably wouldn't be her opponent. It's not certain who would be beaten.

Jin Weilan held her hand and said, "I'm so sorry. I will definitely help you teach him a lesson. Otherwise... I'll secretly tie him up and beat him up to vent anger?"

Jin Weilan's expression was genuine, she really had this idea.

She had wanted to hit her brother for more than a day or two.

Jiang Ning couldn't help laughing, "I'm really fine, and I'm not angry either."

Jin Jingxiu was just a passer-by to her, so there was nothing to be angry about. She had lived two lives, and if she couldn't even look past this, she would probably die of frustration.

Jiang Ning was calm, but Jin Weilan looked angry and stamped her feet, "I really don't know what's good about Jiang Mengyue! My brother, that idiot, was so confused that he couldn't care less about nothing but Jiang Mengyue!" 

"That woman Jiang Mengyue is very scheming, she smiles on the outside, but she's a snake on the inside. Hey, she must have done something evil to be kicked out of the Marquis Mansion, right?"

Jin Weilan looked at Jiang Ning and said, "That's great. This way she won't hurt you. Otherwise, if she were in the Marquis Mansion, she would definitely not be able to tolerate you with her little heart."

Jin Weilan's words came from the heart, and Jiang Ning knew that she truly had her best interests in mind.

As early as their first meeting, she reminded her to pay attention to Jiang Mengyue.

Jiang Ning was moved in her heart and smiled slightly, "Weilan, it's great to have a friend like you."

Jin Weilan was a little embarrassed, "Just don't be angry. My brother did that kind of bad thing. I'm afraid you'll never pay attention to me again..."

"How could it be?" Jiang Ning shook her head. She could only discuss matters as they happened, and she would never snob the entire Jin family just because of one Jin Jingxiu.

The two chatted for a long time before Jin Weilan left.

.........

After the Jin family left, Jiang Ning took a carriage and went to Doctor Xue's house.

Counting the days, the Ninth Prince should have finished taking the heart-protecting medicine and she needs to make another bottle of pills.

It would be best to check the pulse if possible, but the Ninth Prince is a prince and cannot leave the palace at will, and she cannot enter the palace at will. She can only make pills and let Chu Yunli take them in.

The carriage was halfway through.

Suddenly Shuangyue lifted the car curtain and looked around.

Jiang Ning noticed something strange about Shuangyue and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, someone is following the carriage." Shuangyue said coldly.

Someone is following the carriage?

Jiang Ning frowned. Someone was staring at her? 

Zhuang Wei has been dealt with, and all the troubles should be solved. Who else would plot evil against her?

Shuang Yue's face was cold, and she lowered her voice and said, "Here they come." As she said that, she put her hand on her dagger.

Jiang Ning also looked solemn.

The horses purred and the carriage stopped.

Then a voice sounded in front of her, "Miss Jiang, His Highness invites you."

The people who came were upright and did not resort to despicable means, nor did they intend to murder anyone.

Jiang Ning was stunned and didn't react. His Highness?

The curtains were opened first, and there was a carriage parked not far away. There were guards holding handles around it. It looked very extraordinary at first glance.

A guard came forward to deliver a message.

Jiang Ning looked at the guard and frowned slightly, "Which His Highness? Why are you looking for me?"

"His Highness, Fourth Prince, would like to see you, Miss Jiang." The guard said respectfully.

Jiang Ning frowned even more when she heard who the visitor was. Fourth Prince Li Hexuan... She didn't have a good impression of this person, mostly because of Jiang Mengyue.

In her previous life, Jiang Mengyue married him and became the fourth princess, as proud as a phoenix.

What did the fourth prince want to do with her?

She has nothing to do with the fourth prince. Could it be... because of the incident where she knocked over his carriage last time?

Jiang Ning thought about it and decided to meet the fourth prince to see what he wanted to do. He clearly said he would not pursue the matter of knocking over the carriage last time.

The fourth prince made an appointment to meet at the teahouse.

Jiang Ning walked into the private room of the teahouse.

The fourth prince picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea with graceful movements.

Jiang Ning's eyes sank slightly when she saw the elegant and gentle man in white. On the surface, the fourth prince looked gentle and elegant, but he was actually full of ambition and was from the same kind as Jiang Mengyue.

Otherwise they wouldn't have gotten together in their previous life.

"I have met His Highness the Fourth Highness." Jiang Ning bowed politely.

The fourth prince raised his face and smiled lightly, "Miss Jiang, please sit down."

The fourth prince personally poured a cup of tea for Jiang Ning and pushed it in front of her.

She sat still and didn't move.

"I wonder why His Highness the Fourth suddenly called me here? Is it because of the incident that I bumped into His Highness's carriage?" She asked straight to the point.

The fourth prince shook his head and said, "Miss Jiang, don't worry. I didn't invite Miss Jiang here to pursue the matter of the carriage."

Jiang Ning raised her face and looked at him, "Then what's going on?"

The fourth prince smiled, his smile was gentle and like a spring breeze. He had no princely airs at all and it was easy to feel close to him.

But in Jiang Ning's eyes, he was like a lurking beast, with blood and coldness hidden under his gentle surface.

If Chu Yunli is a well-known murderer, then the fourth prince is a man who hides his sword behind his smile. His methods are not weak at all. Those who have offended him don't know how they died.

"I would like to ask Miss Jiang to diagnose my pulse," the fourth prince said.

"Check your pulse?"

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, "Why would Your Highness ask me to diagnose your pulse? I am not a doctor, so I am afraid that I cannot diagnose His Highness's pulse."

The fourth prince smiled faintly, "Miss Jiang is being humble. Miss Jiang has great medical skills. She has become a disciple of Divine Doctor Xue. In terms of medical skills, she should be even better than ordinary doctors."

Jiang Ning's eyes darkened. It seemed that the fourth prince had checked all her details, and even knew that she was a disciple of Divine Doctor Xue.

She shook her head and said, "Your Highness, my medical skills are not very good, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help. If you need medical treatment, the imperial physician in the palace should be more suitable than me."

She didn't want to cause trouble, nor did she want to get involved with the fourth prince.

The fourth prince was unconscious that day, so she took his pulse and found that his pulse was strange and his heart pulse was weak, which was a symptom of poisoning.

The poison was a strange poison that was rare in the world. Even ordinary doctors couldn't find anything when diagnosing his pulse.

She didn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble.
