It was dark when An Ning returned to the house. She played with a few little girls for a while before going to bed.

When there was no one else in the room except for Jasmine who was on the bed, An Ning got up, lit Jasmine's sleeping hole, then changed into light clothes and went out.

Until now, An Ning doesn’t know much about the Ji family’s good things.

An Ning didn't know what Mr. Ji was doing, whether his connection with the prince was close, how his official voice was, etc.

She thought of learning about the Ji family first and then making plans.

An Ning took advantage of the late night and went to Mr. Ji's study.

She thought to take a look at Mr. Ji’s correspondence and some affairs in the yamen first.

When entering the study, An Ning took off her shoes and walked in barefoot. She walked lightly and almost did not touch the ground. When she walked to the desk, An Ning held her shoes in one hand and searched for letters and other items on the desk with the other.

She found several letters, which were all irrelevant. They were correspondences between Mr. Ji and some colleagues, superiors or subordinates, and some letters written by his friends. Most of them were family affairs and had no business.

An Ning put these letters back in place, thinking about looking for any secret rooms in the institutions.

She hadn't looked for it yet, but she heard a sound coming

An Ning quickly flashed to the side, and a moment later, a black shadow flashed into the study.

An Ning narrowed her eyes when she saw this black shadow.

This is a man. He is wearing a night-like clothes and is very neat in his actions, as if he is accustomed to stealing.

Seeing the man rummaging in front of the book case and then looking for the mechanism, An Ning lightly flashed behind the man, slashed the man out with a knife, and then lit his acupoint. After that, An Ning found a mechanism and found a small dark room behind the bookshelf, which contained many books of account books, and the hand orders that the prince gave to Mr. Ji.

An Ning opened it and looked at it. Most of them were the prince and Mr. Ji who asked Mr. Ji to help him pay attention to an official, and some were the prince's officials and Mr. Ji's correspondence letters.

After reading it, An Ning understood it in her heart.

She put these things back and added a formation to the dark room before leaving, so that no one except Mr. Ji and An Ning could find the dark room.

After doing all this, An Ning came out of the study with the stolen one. She carried a few people and left the Ji family and soon arrived at the door of Xiao Yuan's house.

An Ning found Xiao Yuan's room and patted him a few times.

Xiao Yuan appeared in front of her almost instantly.

An Ning put the person in front of Xiao Yuan: "You help with the trial. I caught him in Mr. Ji's study."

Xiao Yuan quickly understood what An Ning was going to do when he came over.

"Don't worry, wait for my letter."

There was not much peace in the middle of the night, so I handed over the person to Xiao Yuan and left.

It was only midnight when she went back that An Ning changed her clothes and went to bed.

After that, An Ning kept waiting for Xiao Yuan’s letter.

After waiting for two days, Xiao Yuan sent An Ning a letter. He brought some small jewelry, but the box containing the jewelry had a mezzanine. An Ning took out the jewelry, and when there was no one, he opened the mezzanine and took out the letter.

After reading the letter, An Ning understood what was going on.

The person who went to Mr. Ji’s study that day was found by Cui Yiran.

The Cui family was born in the army, and Cui Yiran's great-grandfather and grandfather both followed Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong to fight many major battles. To this day, although the Cui family has handed over the military power, there are still some private soldiers secretly.

These private soldiers were held in the hands of Master Cui. As Master Cui’s only son, Cui Yiran must have known some things and could also order some private soldiers with martial arts and ability.

Cui Yiran found someone to go to the Ji family to steal letters, just to take out Mr. Ji's handle and then use it to threaten Mr. Ji's affairs that cannot be in charge of Cui Ji's affairs.

Cui Yiran wanted to split up before getting married.

He wanted to separate from the second house of the Cui family and kicked the second house of the Cui family out of the Hou's mansion, but he was afraid that the Ji family would intervene, so he had to prepare first.

After reading the letter, An Ning burned the letter. She sat in front of the window and fiddled with a pot of flowers placed on the table and couldn't help but sneer.

Cui Yiran is smart and treats everyone in the world as a fool.

He really thought that his life would be better if he had split up. If something happened in the future, he could get out?

What I think is beautiful.

If you really want to cause such a treason, he will not be able to escape even if he divides the family.

At this time, he is concerned about both losses and prosperity. As long as he is a member of the Cui family, no matter which house in the Cui family causes trouble, he will not be able to escape.

Don’t say that you have already divided the families or divided the sects, the superiors don’t look at these.

I heard that there were those who had implicated the ten clans earlier. What are the ten clans? Even friends are considered one clan, let alone just split up.

An Ning felt that Cui Yiran was really unscrupulous in his actions.

He successfully canceled the marriage by plotting against An Ning, and began to be complacent and think that he could do anything.

But An Ning doesn't care about Cui Yiran, as long as she manages the affairs of the Ji family well, she will do it.

Now that she has set up a formation in the study, Cui Yiran will not get anything if he finds many little thieves in.

An Ning didn't take this too seriously, mainly because Mrs. Ji started to let An Ning embroider her wedding dress.

The original body is not very good at being a female girl, and Mrs. Ji didn't ask An Ning to make a whole set of wedding dresses, just asked her to embroider a few needles, and she would look like that.

However, An Ning did not embroider the wedding dress, but she had to make one or two things for Xiao Yuan and Ping, which An Ning had to do it with her own hands.

Mrs. Ji is actually quite worried.

An Ning's needlework was particularly bad, and she didn't know what An Ning could do.

Later, she and An Ning thought about it and made two purses.

The material for making purse is good, but the workmanship is too rough. In addition, the embroidery on it is really unsightly.

Mrs. Ji blushed after seeing these two purses, and she really couldn't show it.

An Ning didn't think so. She smiled and said, "The left is just a good person. Young Master Xiao and Aunt should use it to cover the bottom of the box. Who can wear this?"

Mrs. Ji thought about it, so she didn't make any more trouble.

Days passed day by day, and soon the six rituals were over, and An Ning and Xiao Yuan got married.

Two days before the marriage, Cui Ji came here and gave An Ning a gift. After she arrived, she pulled An Ning and said something a little. The rough idea was to live a good life in the future. When she arrived at the Xiao family, she should respect her mother-in-law and husband, and never act like a little.

Before leaving, Cui Ji secretly gave An Ning two gold tickets.

An Ning read it at night and the denomination is quite large. Each one is worth 100 taels of gold. What if it were exchanged for silver, it would cost 2,000 taels.

Two thousand taels of silver are enough to spend a lifetime with a wealthy family.
