The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 530: Trustworthy Person

Translator: Vesper

Ning Meng Yao raised her eyebrows at Nangong Ming: “Get up.”

“Many thanks.”

Nangong Ming then looked at their princess vaguely. He heard that the princess was the master of Tong Bao Zhai, but no matter how he looked at her, he felt that she was just an ordinary girl. Only her temperament and appearance were unique.

“How’s the palace lately?” Ning Meng Yao pretended not to see the inquiry and doubt in Nangong Ming’s eyes, she took Qiao Tian Chang’s arm and walked inside while asking.

Nangong Ming thought about it and then told Ning Meng Yao about the palace.

It turned out that five days ago, Emperor Ling had already stopped attacking the Regent’s Residence. It was rumored that it was because of the pressure from Xiao Empire’s army. But with the pressure from Tong Bao Zhai as well, almost half of Ling Country’s economy was in hot water, and the people were miserable but not to the point of despair.

On the contrary, the assets of various ministers had been greatly affected. There had also been frequent incidents at the Imperial Merchant.

Under the pressure coming from internal and external, Emperor Ling surely did not have the energy to deal with them.

“Very well, that’s good.” Ning Meng Yao nodded. In her head, she thought about the man that Xiao Qi Tian mentioned.

That man was Ling Country’s Imperial Merchant. Thinking of him made Ning Meng Yao’s eyes narrow slightly as she turned to Nangong Ming: “Do you know anything about the Imperial Merchant at Ling Country?”

“That man appeared thirteen years ago. At the beginning, he controlled less than half of the economy in Ling Country.” Nangong Ming told Ning Meng Yao everything he knew.

Ning Meng Yao nodded. It turned out that he was suppressed by Tong Bao Zhai. No wonder he could not wait to snatch their new store.

But his action was understandable. The store could be described as the golden chance for gold now. If they did not care about it, then Ning Meng Yao should feel strange.

Ning Meng Yao tapped the table with one hand, as her lips slowly curled into a faint smile: “Tian Chang, what do you think we should do next?”

“It’s up to you.”

Ning Meng Yao looked at Nangong Ming: “What if we attack Ling Country?”

“The master had previously instructed that if Emperor Ling decides to take action on the Regent’s Residence when he was not around, the princess is free to do as she pleases.” Nangong Ming could not help but wonder if Nangong Yan had given such an instruction because he knew that this day would come.

Ning Meg Yao frowned slightly, then nodded: “I see, you may leave now.”

“Alright.”

“Tian Chang, do you think Nangong Ming is trustworthy?” Ning Meng Yao was in a bit of a dilemma. She was really worried that this person was not trustworthy.

Qiao Tian Chang pulled her into a hug and whispered, “We can trust Nangong Ming. If he is not a trustworthy person that he would not know so much.”

Nangong Ming had told them a lot of things, and those things were closely related to the Regent’s Mansion. If it was anyone else, then there would surely be a problem.

Ning Meng Yao thought about it, and agreed with Qiao Tian Chang: “If this is the case, then we shall just go according to plan.”

“Okay.”

After the two discussed, they left the Regent’s Residence a while later.

That night, Ning Meg Yao used a special way to call Nangong Yue to a restaurant.

“Master.” Nangong Yue knelt on one knee, without joy or sorrow, as if he was a walking dead.

Ning Meng Yao greeted softly, then glanced at Nangong Yue with narrowed eyes: “What is Emperor Ling trying to do now?”

“He secretly sent someone to Xiao Empire. He wants to try to kidnap you and your child, to threaten the Regent’s Residence.” As Nangong Yue said this, Qiao Tian Chang’s face immediately turned cold.

Ning Meng Yao felt the sudden change, and quickly reached out to calm him: “It’s okay. Neither our little monkey nor me will be hurt, calm down.”

“That guy deserves to die.” Qiao Tian Chang said coldly.

“I know, isn’t the emperor proud of his emperor status? Then, let’s let him fall from his position.” Ning Meng Yao was really annoyed at Emperor Ling. He dared to think of capturing her little money. He had really overestimated his capability.

Nangong Yue looked at Qiao Tian Chang and his wife with a confused look. Unwillingness and pain showed in the bottom of his eyes, but he did not dare to voice out his opinion.

Whenever he had such thoughts, the Gu worm would bother him. Anyway, the person controlling the Gu worm also had the same mindset as Ning Meng Yao and Qiao Tian Chang. There would be no end to this at all.
