Xie Mingan's eyes darkened, and after a moment, he said: "Let your wolf leave the city first. I will send someone to the hospital for the injured."

Shen Ningning didn't believe him.

When she was imprisoned in Zhaori Tower, Ye Changyi begged Xie Mingan to report to Concubine Rong.

Xie Mingan did not go.

At this moment when her life was at stake, she was even more worried about leaving Xu Jingxi's grandfather alone to Xie Ming'an.

The little guy clenched his fists and said in a soft but tenacious voice, "What if I say no?"

Xie Mingan narrowed his eyes: "Then don't blame me for being ruthless and solving it with force."

The Black Wolf King bared his teeth and showed a fierce look in his eyes. The wolves raised their fur and assumed a fighting posture.

Sudden!

Xu Jingxi rushed forward and grabbed Xie Ming'an from his horse.

"What kind of official are you! At a time when people's lives are at stake, you are trying to protect a villain, you are just like a dog official!"

Xu Jingxi raised his fist and hit Xie Mingan hard on the left side of his face.

Not to be outdone, Xie Mingan grabbed Xu Jingxi's collar and pressed him hard into the snow.

"The ferocious beasts are running rampant in the city, threatening the safety of the people. Do you think I should take care of it?" he roared coldly.

The two men struggled with each other.

The guards brought by Xie Mingan came forward to help. Shen Ningning shouted loudly, with thunderous momentum: "Whoever dares to help, I will kill him!"

The guards suddenly froze.

Shen Ningning stepped forward personally and pulled the two people away.

"stop fighting!"

She stood between the two of them, and Xie Ming'an's raised fist stopped abruptly.

Xu Jingxi's lips were bleeding, and Shen Ningning glanced at him worriedly.

Then, the little guy opened his arms to protect Xu Jingxi, widened his eyes, and looked at Xie Ming'an angrily.

"I hate my second brother! In this family, I hate Xie Ming'an the most!"

"I will never expect to be a family with you again, I hate you!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Lifen quietly pulled Aunt Ma, and the mother and daughter took the opportunity to run away from the crowd in despair.

Xie Mingan was stunned by Shen Ningning's words.

He saw the little guy's eyes were red, and his tearful eyes were full of disappointment.

Even when Shen Ningning took Xu Jingxi and left with the wolves, he didn't come back to his senses.

The guard behind him stepped forward: "Sir, they are gone, do we want to chase them?"

"No need to chase." Xie Mingan's eyes were as dark as the sea.

He couldn't help but cover his heart.

Why did he feel empty in his heart when Shen Ningning showed such a hateful and disappointed expression?

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a hint of darkness hidden in the snow.

Xie Mingan bent down and picked up a half-crescent jade pendant.

He recalled carefully that it seemed to have fallen from Xu Jingxi's body just now.

However, when he saw the pattern of the crescent jade pendant clearly, he frowned in surprise.

Xie Mingan hurriedly took out his jade pendant to compare.

All the sons of the Xie family have such crescent moon pendants.

Big Brother has it, and so does he.

How could Xu Jingxi have it?

Half an hour later.

Shen Ningning was sitting outside the medical center, with wolves lying around her inside and outside.

The little guy looked at the bubbling medicine pot in front of him, his little face looked dull and distracted.

Xu Jingxi opened the curtain and came out. Shen Ningning came to her senses when she heard the noise.

She hurriedly asked: "How is Grandpa Xu?"

Xu Jingxi said hoarsely: "Grandpa is fine. The doctor said it was delivered in time. I have already given him two decoctions. I will let him have a good rest and wait for him to wake up."

Shen Ningning nodded and looked at the thick white tissue wrapped around his arm.

"Your arm..."

"It's nothing serious, just some blisters. They were popped and medicine was applied." Xu Jingxi's comforting voice was very low and gentle.

Shen Ningning was a little depressed. Hearing this, she nodded silently.

"That's good."

On weekdays, when the little guy is in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he is as bright as a sunflower.

Xu Jingxi knew why there was a gloomy expression on her face.

Just now, he realized that the man was Xie Ming'an, the second son of the Xie Mansion.

Xu Jingxi was not good at comforting others. After thinking about it, he took the initiative and said: "If he doesn't accept you, it means he is not important."

"There have been many people in your life who will cherish you, so don't worry about an insignificant person."

Shen Ningning was startled, then nodded gently: "Thank you for your comfort."

"I really don't need the icing on the cake anymore."

The little guy doesn't want to be wronged like this anymore.

Xie Ming'an didn't like her, so she had avoided him before, for fear of causing him any dissatisfaction.

However, the relationship has reached this point, and she can no longer hide.

She wanted to go back to Xie's Mansion and tell her godfather that she, Shen Ningning, would end her relationship with Xie Ming'an from now on.

The little guy paid for the medicine and gave Xu Jingxi a piece of silver.

Xu Jingxi refused to accept it.

But Shen Ningning said: "You take it first, your grandfather still needs to prescribe medicine, and there will be many places to spend money later. At worst, you can pay it back to me when you have money."

With this, Xu Jingxi was finally willing to accept it.

Shen Ningning took the wolves back to Langshan.

The little guy never expected that Mo Lingwei had just arrived, but had left. After learning that she was not at home, he went back to the palace.

The next day, Mo Lingwei went to Langshan again, but unexpectedly, Shen Ningning was still not at home.

He said with a cold face: "She is too busy. If I want to see her, I will have to say hello in advance."

Chen Shaobei was holding back his laughter and did not dare to laugh.

Mo Lingwei glanced at him sideways: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you hurry up and send someone to find Shen Ningning? I'll come see her tomorrow."

Chen Shaobei's expression froze: "Yes."

At this time, Shen Ningning had returned to Xie's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper, Uncle Pang, surrounded him.

"Princess, last night, the master and the second young master had a fight."

Shen Ningning's face was calm and she just asked: "Is your godfather okay?"

Uncle Pang whispered: "Of course the master will be fine. The second young master was locked up in the ancestral hall all night. It is useless for the second master to plead for mercy."

"Where is your godfather? I'll go see him."

"The master has just released the second young master and asked him to go to the main hall for a lecture."

Shen Ningning turned around and headed to the main hall.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard Xie Mingan's cold and angry explanation.

"I don't mean to embarrass her, but she has bad conduct and allows wild beasts to roam the streets. If it is to save people, then forget it."

"But she accepted bribes on my behalf. Father, is this a small matter?"

Xie Suzhi slapped the table and said angrily: "Ning Ning is definitely not that kind of person!"

Shen Ningning walked in, looking puzzled: "When did I accept a bribe for you?"

Xie Mingan turned to look at her and said to Uncle Pang: "Bring her the bracelet."

Shen Ningning frowned when she heard about the bracelet.

After a while, Uncle Pang brought the bracelet with colorful gems.

Shen Ningning took a look, and sure enough, it was the one that Chen Wanru wanted to give her, but she refused.

"Chen Wanru did persuade me to accept the bracelet for you, but I have already rejected her!"

"You rejected her, why did this thing appear in my warehouse?"

Xie Suzhi frowned: "That day when you returned to Beijing, many aristocratic families gave you gifts to show your respect. You might be among them."

Xie Mingan handed the booklet for registering gifts to Xie Suzhi.

"Father, this bracelet was delivered three or four days after I returned home. The date can be verified, and it was not among the batch of meeting gifts at all."

It was clearly the Chen family who sent something, and someone in the mansion collected it on his behalf.

Shen Ningning said firmly: "I didn't take it, I never accepted it!"

Seeing Xie Mingan's disbelief, Xie Suzhi said coldly: "In that case, I will send someone to invite the Chen family to see what is going on!"

At this moment, a cautious voice came from the door: "Brother, Ming'an, please stop arguing. I collected the things."

The three people in the hall looked back.

Madam Xie walked in with a guilty conscience.

Xie Mingan was shocked: "Second aunt, it's you?"
