Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times - Chapter 96

Before the carriage could go out for a while, Wang Zhuang, who was riding the horse, was stopped along with the carriage.

It was Ning Haibo who had stopped him. The servants had inquired about Jing Xingzhi. So, he wanted try it out and waited until the first session of the test was over before picking him up.

Ning Haibo sat on the horse and looked at Wang Zhuang, who was also sitting on the horse, and said, “Wang Zhuang, I haven’t seen you for many years.”

“I have met the Marquis of Zhenyuan. I wonder what is wrong with the Marquis?” Wang Zhuang raised his eyebrows and asked coldly.

Ning Haibo looked at the carriage. “I want to ask him to go to the house and see my wife. It won’t take too long.”

Wang Zhuang frowned at first, then realized that Ning Haibo was talking about Young Master Jing.

Wang Zhuang also heard about Wu Shuangxi’s illness, but he didn’t think it had anything to do with their Young Master Jing.

‘It was already good enough not to do anything to you, but you still wanted to ask us for help?’

Wang Zhuang shook his head. “No.”

Ning Haibo’s face darkened. “If you don’t ask, how would you know he won’t do it? As a subordinate, you must know your duty.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage over there moved. Ning Haibo raised the corners of his lips, glanced at Wang Zhuang demonstratively, and then turned his eyes to the carriage.

But after seeing who was lifting the curtain, Ning Haibo’s face turned cold again.

Wu Mingrui narrowed his eyes, opened the curtain, and asked, “Who is it?”

Wang Zhuang replied, “It’s Marquis Zhenyuan.”

Wu Mingrui immediately woke up as if two buckets of ice water had been poured on him.

Before departure, Fang Qichen had obtained Jing Xingzhi’s consent and told his future son-in-law, Wu Mingrui, about Jing Xingzhi’s real identity, so that Wu Mingrui could clearly remember the words “Marquis Zhenyuan.”

While Wu Mingrui looked at Ning Haibo, he asked Wang Zhuang, “Brother Zhuang, what does this Marquis want to do with us?”

“He wants to ask Young Master Jing to go and see that Madam. I told him no and he wanted to ask the people in the carriage,” Wang Zhuang had said, curling his lips.

“Oh.” Wu Mingrui nodded, indicating that he understood the situation.

Then Wu Mingrui raised his head and said to Ning Haibo, who looked unhappy, “Marquis, I won’t go. Please give way. Thank you.”

“Wait!” Ning Haibo said coldly, “I didn’t ask you. Is he still asleep? Go wake him up.”

Ning Haibo thought that he was also a biological father and would not be ignored like this. Wang Zhuang and this other scholar must have interfered to prevent him from meeting his own son.

Wu Mingrui, a good big brother, couldn’t bear it anymore. He sneered twice and then opened the curtain generously.

“Marquis Zhenyan, I am the only one in the carriage! I dare you to see if there are another people inside!”

After Wu Mingrui said this, he dropped the curtain.

The falling curtain was like a slap, hitting Ning Haibo in the face.

The carriage passed by, and Ning Haibo reluctantly gave way, staring at his men with a dark face.

“Trash! You don’t even know if someone is there?”

Ning Haibo cursed and kicked the horse in the stomach. “Go to his place!”

The road was not blocked, and there was a pregnant wife at home who was about to give birth, so he couldn’t be anywhere else except his residence.

In fact, it was not the fault of the servant of the servant who recognized the wrong carriage this time.

There were so many people coming out of the Gongyuan, but no one noticed how many people got on the carriage. Which family’s carriage had left? Which person it was picked up?

Who would have thought that someone would run away on the first day of the test?

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Ning Haibo had just returned, and his servants had not been sent out yet. Jing Xingzhi’s house wasn’t big, so he lived his life with the door closed. Who knew what was going on inside?

Ning Haibo followed the carriage angrily; he must see Jing Xingzhi today.

Wu Mingrui opened the curtain of the window behind him and took a look, cursing angrily in his heart: ‘What kind of scumbag is this?!’

On such an important occasion in life, other people’s children were taken care of in every possible way and were extremely considerate, yet here he was, dragging his friend to see a lunatic???

‘Are you still human?’

Wu Mingrui stared at the horse’s hoof under Ning Haibo’s crotch, wishing that the horse’s leg would break and Ning Haibo’s leg.

However, Brother Mingrui’s glare was of no practical use, and Ning Haibo shamelessly followed him until he arrived at the door of his house.

Wu Mingrui entered the door as if he was running away. As soon as he entered, he asked his servants to close the door. He had no intention of letting Ning Haibo in.

Of course, Wang Zhuang was very cooperative. He even felt that his future master had done a good job and could put in a good word for him when they returned.

Outside the gate, Ning Haibo stared at the red-painted copper ring door, furious.

The subordinates trembled, wondering why their master came here to find Jing Xingzhi. They didn’t know why this family seemed to dislike the Marquis so much.

Our Marquis was a general outside, a dignified first-class official. Wasn’t the official high enough?

The subordinates knew nothing, except for Ning Haibo, who was angry and confused.

He just wanted to show that boy to his mother. What did he do wrong?

Ning Haibo, who felt that he was being reasonable, stared at the door for a while, then simply said to his subordinates, “Go hammer on the door! If he doesn’t come out, keep hammering.”

It was a hammer, not a knock. The hammer was very powerful and could break the door.

Ning Haibo’s subordinates were all soldiers, who could be kept by his side during battles, and they were very obedient.

Ning Haibo gave an order, and the two poor red doors suffered a critical attack.

“Bang bang bang—”

Violent hammering on the door echoed with waves of rough sounds.
