Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times

Jing Xingzhi said, “Senior brother, why didn’t she act somewhere else?”

When it came to the royal family, it was always very troublesome, and she should keep a low profile.

Unless Wu Shuangxi’s target was not Ning Yongyuan at all, but someone else.

Li Yunxi understood immediately and frowned: “Then who does she want to attack? The third and fourth princes have not offended her and have never met her.”

Jing Xingzhi thought he had never met her, but hadn’t she been after him several times…

Wait, it couldn’t be him, right?

The innocent Jing Xingzhi was stunned.

He felt as if he was really the target!

Jing Xingzhi was truly convinced, over and over…

He didn’t say anything wrong, and the little scholar hadn’t done anything wrong either, right?

But the little scholar came from Wu Shuangxi’s stomach, which wasn’t what the little scholar knew about.

If possible, any stomach was much safer than Wu Shuangxi’s, okay?!

The first time Jing Xingzhi had encountered Wu Shuangxi was when she asked a servant couple to interfere with the examination.

In the first round, the whole family almost implicated. If Jing Xingzhi hadn’t complained that the boat wasn’t big enough, his entire family might have suffered. The baby might not even have survived.

In the second round, the heart-wrenching move! If it hadn’t been for Jing Xingzhi’s ultimate move, Mr. Modern Traveler, who knew how long he would have had to bear that bad reputation.

In the third round, she had acted directly, desperately trying to block Jing Xingzhi from the examination room and ruin his future. Fortunately, the enemy had been exposed and they were able to act in the dark, so Jing Xingzhi escaped by relying on his preparations.

Jing Xingzhi had forgotten about all these things for a while, but now that he thought about it, he felt that all the old and new grudges had been accounted for!

.

Jing Xingzhi said with a dark face, “Senior brother, she might want to do something to me, I must have implicated Jiading and Jiafu.”

“You?” Li Yunxi was well-informed, but he still didn’t believe it, “After all, she threw you away. She should feel more guilty towards you…”

“No, this woman cannot be speculated with common sense.” Jing Xingzhi shook his head, “Anyway, many clues won’t disappear. If she really knows the background of these people, then her target must be me!”

“She wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Maybe she had someone sent to kill me, but they just couldn’t do it at the right time.” Jing Xingzhi frowned, speaking seriously.

Li Yunxi looked at his junior brother, feeling a little embarrassed. “Ning Haibo is fighting outside; I can’t take action against Marquis Zhenyuan’s Mansion right now.”

Jing Xingzhi’s serious expression faded, and a smile appeared on his face. “Senior brother, it’s good that you’re thinking about me.”

It was good to have some concern.

Anyway, he could do it himself.

Wu Shuangxi, it was disrespectful to come and go without saying goodbye.

Jing Xingzhi counted the things he could use and asked Li Yunxi with a relaxed expression, “Senior brother, what day shall I go back?”

Li Yunxi, sitting opposite, saw Jing Xingzhi’s calmness instantly and felt even more touched. His youthful mood was innocent and simple, satisfied with a little care.

Such a good child—if he was his son, he didn’t know other princes would behave.

‘Wu Shuangxi, Wu Shuangxi, you were in the midst of blessings and didn’t know how blessed you were!’

Li Yunxi smiled and replied to his junior brother, “Tomorrow.”

.

Here the two brothers exposed Wu Shuangxi’s “good intentions”.

On the other side, Wu Shuangxi was secretly angry.

She was annoyed that those people from the enemy country had come all the way to assassinate the royal family. Couldn’t they have sent some people with better skills?!

Even if they couldn’t escape, it would have been better if they had all committed suicide! Having a living person left would only complicate matters when questioned about what had transpired; all of those deaths would have been in vain.

Wu Shuangxi felt like she had stolen a chicken but lost the rice. She had originally thought that even if nothing happened to Jing Xingzhi, those people would not be caught.

In past years, enemy troops had been entering in waves, but she hadn’t heard of them being captured alive a few times. The level of this entry was truly bad.

However, there was absolutely no evidence of her actions, and nothing could be found through the investigation. This made Wu Shuangxi feel a little relieved.

Besides, Ning Yongyuan was also injured, and Ning Haibo was fighting on the border. Both could shield her from suspicion.

No matter how clever Wu Shuangxi was, she would never guess that old man Fang Qichen would tell Li Yunxi everything. Li Yunxi now knew very well about their family’s affairs.

At first Li Yunxi wasn’t sure with his own guesses, but with enough information, Li Yunxi guessed the situation. The only reason his guess was incorrect was, due to not being familiar with Wu Shuangxi’s character and behavior, he had misunderstood her intentions.

However, with the involvement of Jing Xingzhi, who knew her well, and the information from Fang Qichen, it was going to be a real disaster! Combining the two, Wu Shuangxi’s hidden poison was exposed to the sun.

.

Of course, Wu Shuangxi knew nothing of the above.

Wu Shuangxi even took time out to visit Ning Yongyuan’s yard three times a day to stage the deep love between mother and son.

Sitting by Ning Yongyuan’s bedside, Wu Shuangxi softly said, “The wound will heal in a few days. Pay attention to your diet and avoid certain foods; otherwise, it will heal slowly.”

Ning Yongyuan smiled and nodded, but he thought to himself, ‘You know what to avoid, but do you know who to avoid?’

Of course, Wu Shuangxi didn’t know. After sitting for a while, she calmly left the room, which smelled of medicine.

As soon as she left, Ning Yongyuan let out a long breath.

He murmured, “Will Father return during the Chinese New Year?”

When Ning Haibo returned, when Jing Xingzhi, the true young master of the Marquis family, took the name “Ning,” he could leave.

‘I wonder if he will know who his real parents are by then?’

In Ning Yongyuan’s mind, various middle-aged couples could not help but appear. The man might not have been handsome enough, and the woman might not have been beautiful enough, but they all smiled sincerely—very warm!

.

The next day was sunny and windy, a good day indeed.

A carriage was walking around in Beijing.

Along the road, there stretched a long river where carriages could cross on a relatively gentle bridge.

If one were to open the carriage curtain while on the bridge, they could glimpse the distant scenery of the river.

Today, Wu Shuangxi sat inside the carriage, feeling inexplicably downcast. She decided to open half of the curtain and let the wind blow through.

As they reached the midpoint of the long bridge, with the river rushing below, Wu Shuangxi smiled and took a deep breath.

Suddenly, the carriage shook violently, and the horse pulling it veered wildly, heading straight toward the bridge’s guardrail!

In an instant, the carriage driver was thrown off.

The horse plunged into the river with the carriage, carrying two maidservants and Wu Shuangxi along, creating a massive wave and splashing countless water droplets.
