Qingyan's words made Murong Jingxuan think of granny Ruo from before.
That's right, granny Ruo still hasn't served her purpose yet. And judging by Ning Siyao's way of thinking, she would never let such a good pawn go to waste.
Only after finish using this pawn, can she finally discard it. Especially if an useful pawn like granny Ruo isn't utilized, then it wouldn't be too like Ning Siyao's usual style.
"How do you think Ning Siyao is going to deal with you?" When Murong Jingxuan looked to her, he had a smile on his face, "I quite look forward to seeing how you will counter her."
Qingyan looked up to him and casually said, "Then how do you want me to strike back? After all, to have gotten to this far, it's all Ning Siyao's fault." She said as she tightened her fist. "I've already said before, I'm not going to let anyone off the hook."
Murong Jingxuan began to play with the scattered hair in front of his chest, "Yan'er, deal with her however you want and let me take care of everything else. What do you say?"
Qingyan looked to his serious appearance and nodded, "Then from now on, I'll have you clean up my mess."
Murong Jingxuan more than happily nodded, "Understood, madam*."
(*TN: He says it in a way one would address their wife.)
When Qingyan heard that word, she smashed her fist against him, "Murong Jingxuan, get lost!"
Hearing her angry words, Murong Jingxuan smiled and thought of what Qilian Yuran said earlier. "That reminds me, Imperial Consort Qilian Yuran said that she wanted to meet you. But I told her to wait until the Dragon Gate Festival, you'll naturally meet her then."
Qilian Yuran wanted to meet her. Could it be that Murong Jingxuan mentioned her name in front of Qilian Yuran before. Thinking of this, Murong Jingxuan felt a glare coming his way.
He looked to Qingyan and helplessly shrugged his shoulders, "This time I'm really innocent. It was the Fourth Prince."
Fourth Prince? Qingyan looked to Murong Jingxuan with a smile, "Actually, you're more close with the Fourth Prince."
Murong Jingxuan nodded, unable to deny, "After all, I was also raised by the Imperial Consort, so naturally I'm close with the Fourth Prince."
"The Fourth Prince seems like someone with ambition, but on the surface, he looks as if he's very wi
ds, granny Ruo nodded. Right now, she already knew what to do. If that girl can have that kind of end, then it was also deservedly so.
For her to end up as a prostitute, didn't seem too bad.
Once Ning Siyao saw granny Ruo's reaction, she just knew that she'd already agreed to her plans. Thus, Ning Siyao handed into her hands the prepared food container, probably insinuating for her to do it tonight. Too bad she won't be able to see Su Qingyan's tragic end.
Today was the first day back from Ganyun Temple, no one would notice anything wrong either.
Seeing the delicate pastries in the food case, she'd never understood why Ning Siyao was so dead set on getting rid of Su Qingyan. But now she understood; it was because Su Qingyan deserved to die. She certainly needed to let Su Qingyan get the end she deserved.
Just thinking about how Su Qingyan will end up made everything unpleasant previously gone with the wind.
"Granny Ruo, after this matter is taken care of, I will give you a sum of money to let you go far away." Ning Siyao looked to granny Ruo with a smile, "I'll find someone to send you somewhere, to let you have a fresh start."
Granny Ruo completely didn't notice the dark and chilling intentions in Ning Siyao's tone, but rather accepted the food container handed to her from Meixue and left grinning.
Watching granny Ruo's retreating figure, Ning Siyao clenched her fist.
Su Qingyan, don't worry, after you die, I'll let granny Ruo follow after you shortly. I won't let you feel too lonely.
