MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 564 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 is about to get engaged. It is ridiculous for the prince to call people into the palace in the name of a blessed girl to pray for blessings.
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 filled with confusion.
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 laugh to dispel the confusion: "What's going on?"
Xie Mingan: "You are a little 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, my second brother has interrogated at least more than 3,000 prisoners. If they lied, sometimes they don’t need to force a confession. My 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 criminal?”
“I dare not, let alone do this 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 and said, "Hold it out, second brother, and 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 the 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 willing to enter the palace to pray for the emperor this time?"
“Yeah.” Shen Ningning nodded.
Xie Mingan: "As for the prince, do you plan to go there 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 did not 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 and not Late Spring recently?"
Shen Ningning's slender eyelashes trembled suddenly.
This 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 had already pressed on her pulse.
Hurrah! So that's it.
Xie Ming'an'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 in their hearts." 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! I'm giving her a holiday."
"Second brother doesn't believe this reason." Xie Mingan said calmly: "Looking back now, the disappearance in late spring should have happened after you went to the Bamboo Garden. What happened? Did you encounter any trouble in the Bamboo Garden?"
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 is not someone who lets others bully her. If it concerns late spring, there is 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 Xie Mingan asked, Shen Ningning couldn't get anything out of him.
Hence, Xie Mingan gave up the inquiry.
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 Late Spring. He looked at Xu Jingxi: "On the other hand, you and your sister are classmates, and you are also close to her friends. You don't know what happened to her?"
"That's why I feel strange. I have already asked Miss Ye, Princess Lingyi, and Princess Rongshu. They don't understand at all why Ning Ning suddenly chose the Second Young Master Lu and got engaged to him."
Xie Mingan felt troubled and stood under the pillars where the sun and shadows intersected.
He looked at the flower-filled garden with a heavy look in his eyes: "I think we have to find Wanchun. However, since my sister sent her away, she must have made very thorough arrangements. It will not be easy to find her."
Xu Jingxi fell silent along with him.
Suddenly.
Xie Mingan raised his head and said, "Maybe big brother can help with this matter!"
“Brother?” Xu Jingxi was startled.
Xie Ming'an couldn't wait to walk away. Apparently, he was going to find Xie Mingxu. Xu Jingxi quickly followed him.
In the evening, the dusk is like a splash of rouge, dispersing the orange-red color of the entire sky, making the lintel of Xie Mansion sparkling.
Shen Ningning was wearing an ice blue dress. When her family sent her out of the door, the carriage arranged by the palace and the long queue of forbidden troops had been waiting for a stick of incense.
Xie Suzhi held his daughter's wrist and whispered: "Don't worry Ning Ning. Dad has made all the arrangements for you to enter the palace this time. Just pray for blessings and don't be afraid of conflicts with others."
Who this person is talking about, both father and daughter know in their mind.
Shen Ningning was not afraid of Mo Lingwei and even comforted Xie Suzhi.
“Don’t worry, Dad, didn’t you say that I will be back in half a month at most?”
After saying that, the girl turned around and walked towards the carriage, and the imperial guards immediately helped lift the curtain.
Shen Ningning suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Dad, while I am in the palace, please help me visit Grandma and Father Wolf."
“I know, don’t worry, I also told Xiao Lu when he left today.”
In this way, Shen Ningning had no worries and bent down to get into the carriage.
The curtain was suddenly lowered, and the carriage covered with purple tapestry drove away slowly, driven by the driver.
The imperial guards bowed to Xie Suzhi, and then 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 was dressed in a vermilion dragon robe, with one hand supporting his sharp eyebrows, and the other hand holding a scroll. He had been waiting in the carriage for a long time.
He actually came to pick her up in person.
Shen Ningning subconsciously glanced back at the car curtain.
Mo Lingwei finally said coldly: "Even if you jump out of the car, I can still catch you and carry you back to the palace."
Shen Ningning's heart was in turmoil and she quickly calmed down.
She pursed her pink lips and said, "I'm not going to jump out of the car. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say he would come to greet you before. I'm just afraid that my father and brothers will be worried when they see him."
Mo Lingwei snorted, not sure whether he believed her words or not.
Then, he held the scroll and knocked on the place next to him.
He motioned for Shen Ningning to sit over.
