460 Little Uncle

Seeing his confused expression, the other guards hurriedly explained what he had done.

That person was very shocked. He didn’t remember at all. He explained to Jiang Ying, “Heir, I didn’t set the fire on purpose. I don’t remember those things.”

“I know. Go down and rest first,” he said.

Ning Yue looked at Jiang Ying with a serious expression. “Jiang Ying, this matter might not be that simple.”

Suddenly, Ning Yue recalled the letter Jiang Ying had asked her to study. Ning Yue took it out of her bag. “Jiang Ying, do you still remember this?”

Jiang Ying looked at the letter in Ning Yue’s hand and nodded gently. “What’s wrong?”

“Let me tell you, I’ve revealed the contents of this. The words on it are written with a special potion. Only by being close to fire can the words appear.” As she spoke, Ning Yue placed the letter near the fire that had just been extinguished.

Although the fire had been put out, there was still some warmth.

Jiang Ying walked over and saw many words appear in the letter in Ning Yue’s hand magically.

He looked at the contents of the letter and frowned deeply. So this letter was for him!

However, Jiang Ying was very puzzled. Why would the person who had written to him place the letter in the emperor’s imperial study?

He took the letter and took a look. The letter mentioned Lian Xin’s motive for staying in the Imperial City and told him to be careful.

“Looks like Princess Dawn won’t give up on marrying you,” Ning Yue said with a sneer.

Jiang Ying suddenly shivered. He looked at Ning Yue and quickly explained, “I never thought of marrying her.”

“I know. I’m not afraid of thieves. I’m just afraid of thieves thinking about me,” Ning Yue said.

Thinking about it, if one of his treasures was stolen, at least he could ensure that he was safe.

However, if a thief coveted the treasure on her and wanted to scheme against her, her life would not be guaranteed.

“No, I have to get rid of Lian Xin and Princess Dawn,” Jiang Ying said.

He wasn’t afraid of trouble, but he hated trouble. Since those two couldn’t restrain themselves, don’t blame him!

“Do you want to tell the emperor about this?” Ning Yue pointed at the letter.

Jiang Ying didn’t say anything. He put the letter to the fire and burned it.

“I’ll tell Brother,” Jiang Ying said.

He would tell the emperor directly what Lian Xin wanted to do, but he would not tell the emperor that he knew from the letter.

“Let’s go tomorrow. You’ve already investigated the reason. In addition, it’s already late. Let’s go back and rest,” Ning Yue said.

Jiang Ying nodded. The cause of the fire had indeed been investigated. If they wanted to investigate who drugged the people, they had to hand the matter over to the secret guards.

The two of them got into the carriage and chatted as they headed towards the Ning family.

When they returned home, the two of them had dinner and went to sleep separately.

Originally, Ning Yue had planned to return to her room to study the manufacturing method of ethanol, but Xiaobao and Xiaobei insisted on resting with her.

Xiaobei stepped forward and hugged Ning Yue. “Mother, we’ve been in the capital for so long. You’ve been busy and don’t have time to accompany us.”

Ning Yue’s heart ached when she heard this. She had been busy these past few days and had indeed been negligent.

She squatted down and hugged the two children one by one.

“Xiaobao and Xiaobei, Mom will sleep with you tonight, okay?” Ning Yue asked.

Xiaobei was excited. “Sure! Mother finally has time to accompany us.”

Xiaobao was also very happy, but he didn’t show the same excitement as Xiaobei. He nodded and said, “Okay.”

That night, Ning Yue and Jiang Ying bathed the two children together. After changing into their pajamas, they bade each other goodnight and returned to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, Ning Yue was woken up by Xiaobao and Xiaobei.

“Mother, I heard that Little Uncle is coming over today. I wonder what kind of person he is?” Xiaobei asked Ning Yue excitedly.

Before Ning Yue could answer, Xiaobei suddenly wilted. “Will he snatch food from Xiaobai?”

Ning Yue had just woken up and had yet to react to what Xiaobei had said. “What little uncle?”

Seeing this, Xiaobao explained, “Mother, he’s Father’s youngest cousin, Granduncle’s son.”

Ning Yue came back to her senses. “Eh, why haven’t I heard your father mention it?”

Xiaobao said, “Father doesn’t know either. Grandpa told us.”
