Chapter 49 Leading by Example

Just as the boy was rushing to find Mrs. Nian, Nian Ruipeng left the Nian family holding the box he had hidden.

In order to prevent Nian's family from finding him, Nian Ruipeng didn't even ask for a carriage and walked to the street. But looking at the dark night, he didn't know where else he could go.

After much thought, the only choice was to go to Chunfeng Tower.

When he arrived at Chunfeng Tower, Chun's mother was also anxious at the door. Seeing him coming back, she hurriedly put on a smiling face to greet him, "Oh! I said Mr. Nian, the Nu family knows about your generosity, but they don't know either.

It’s such a big deal, you paid the money and left, but Xiao Hongxiu is still waiting for you in the room!”

Nian Ruipeng glanced at her, said nothing, and went straight to Xiao Hongxiu's room.

After spending so many years wandering around the Fireworks Willow Alley, Nian Ruipeng also knew that if he didn't rest at Chunfeng Tower tonight, Xiao Hongxiu's future reputation would be ruined.

Now he just wants to find a place to relax, and Chunfeng Tower is also a good choice.

Nian Ruipeng moved swiftly, but he didn't notice that there was a tail behind him.

Seeing Nian Ruipeng entering, the tail turned and ran away into the night.

On the third floor of Chunfeng Building, in the room of Xiao Hongxiu, the oiran, there are red candles to warm the tent, and she is dressed like an ordinary person's bridal chamber.

Xiao Hongxiu was dressed in red, as bright as a peach or a plum blossom. When she heard the footsteps outside, she silently looked towards the door with her loving eyes, facing the irritable Nian Ruipeng.

If it had been normal, Nian Ruipeng would have become lustful when he saw Xiao Hongxiu like this, but now his mind was filled with the fairy ointment and he didn't notice Xiao Hongxiu's expression at all.

Zhao Jie talked about the fairy ointment in front of the prince, and the prince's attitude also proved that he didn't like this thing, but what exactly was this fairy ointment that could make the prince so unhappy?

"Mr. Nian, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Hongxiu stood aside. She couldn't wait for Nian Ruipeng to look at her for a long time, so she got up and walked over, squatted beside Nian Ruipeng's couch, and gently tapped his leg.

Hearing Xiao Hongxiu's voice, Nian Ruipeng retracted his thoughts and asked, "Have you ever heard of fairy ointment?"

"I have heard of it, but it is not a good thing. Why do you ask Mr. Nian for this?" Xiao Hongxiu hesitated and looked at Nian Ruipeng with curiosity on her face.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Nian Ruipeng asked without answering.

Xiao Hongxiu had met some customers before. During the chat, she learned that the fairy ointment seemed to be related to the Nian family. She thought that Nian Ruipeng knew everything about it, so she told everything she knew.

"They all say that after using this fairy ointment, you will be as happy as a fairy. However, I have also heard some sisters say that if you use it for a long time, you will not be able to quit. Therefore, Mother Chun strictly prohibits the use of this ointment in Chunfeng Tower.

Things, I’m afraid the girls... would rather miss Shu. But if guests want to use them, Mother Chun will find a way to get some."

"Can't quit?"

With just these three words, Nian Ruipeng knew why Prince Chang'an was unhappy.

If this thing cannot be given up, it means that the person who bought it will use all his wealth to support it in the future. The person who sells the fairy ointment is tantamount to holding the buyer's wealth and life in his hands. If this matter is spread, let alone the prince.

If you are unhappy, even the people of Yuzhou City will not agree.

Xiao Hongxiu saw that Nian Ruipeng looked wrong and felt bad, so she quickly made amends: "Why did Mr. Nian think of asking about this? Tonight is Mr. Nian's great day, let's not talk about such boring things."

"How can it be boring?" Nian Ruipeng sneered, "If this business continues, the Nian family may even be dead!"

After what happened tonight, Nian Ruipeng would be a fool if he didn't understand anymore - even if Chang'an Hou Shizi was on good terms with the Zhao family, he would not be able to accompany Zhao Jie to Chunfeng Tower to see him for no reason. The only possibility is that tonight

The person who saw him was Zhou Yan.

Thinking of this, Nian Ruipeng stood up suddenly, pushed Xiao Hongxiu away, and ran out.

Chun's mother finally waited for Nian Ruipeng to come, but how could she let him leave? She thought of ways to keep him, so as not to ruin Xiao Hongxiu's reputation.

But neither she nor the two concierges could stop Nian Ruipeng, who was about to run out, so they could only send Xiao Hongxiu back to the room, cursing.

Nian Ruipeng was originally going to the Prince's Mansion, but he thought that he might not be able to see Zhou Yan, so he went to Nanluogu Lane again, banged on Zhao Jie's door, panted and held on to the door frame and said: "Quick! Take me quickly.

Go see the Crown Prince!"

Only then did he realize that today was the last chance for the Nian family to be given by the prince. If he could not seize it, the prince would never stay in the Nian family again!

Seeing him panting like this, Zhao Jie said with a smile: "Have you thought clearly? If we go to see the crown prince, the Nian family will really not be able to save it."

"You know everything?" Nian Ruipeng's eyes widened in disbelief.

He only knew about this himself, but Zhao Jie had known about it for a long time?

"The case of the Immortal Ointment is very involved, and you are the only one who has been protected by Nian Qi and you still don't know anything." Zhao Jie said sarcastically and turned sideways to let him in, "Come here, the prince is here.

Waiting inside."

Nian Ruipeng was about to choke back, but when he heard that Zhou Yan was here, he was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word, and followed Zhao Jie slowly into Zhao's house.

Compared with the original courtyard of the Zhao family, this courtyard in Nanluogu Lane was really small. After walking only two steps, Nian Ruipeng saw Zhou Yan and Lin Xing sitting in the hall.

But there was actually a cup of tea placed on the table below them, and apart from Zhao Jie, he was the only one left here.

As expected, Lin Xing looked at him and said, "I thought Mr. Nian wouldn't be able to drink this cup of tea today."

When they first met, Nian Ruipeng looked down on Lin Xing, but now she is sitting in the same hall as Zhou Yan as an elder, and it is Nian Ruipeng who needs to salute her.

But for the sake of the Nian family, Nian Ruipeng had to carry out the junior ceremony even if he was unwilling to do so. "The common people have seen the eldest son, Mrs. Zhao."

Zhou Yan still didn't speak, but Lin Xing asked: "I didn't expect Mr. Nian to find out the truth so quickly?"

When he thought that the three people here knew what the Nian family had done, Nian Ruipeng looked embarrassed and nodded in response: "Although there is no evidence, it is indeed... true."

Hearing this, Lin Xing was filled with shock. She glanced at Zhou Yan, and sure enough, she also saw surprise in his eyes.

——Nian Ruipeng is still too young and too straightforward. If it were Zhao Jie, he would never admit it without evidence.

However, it is also a good thing for them that Nian Ruipeng can think clearly.

Zhou Yan looked away, took a sip of tea, and said with an inscrutable expression: "It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, you can find it yourself."

"But hasn't the prince already collected the evidence? Otherwise, how could it be..."

Seeing that Nian Ruipeng was about to see through the fact that they had no evidence, Zhou Yan immediately interrupted him, "This is the opportunity given to you by this prince. If the Nian family does not kill their relatives out of justice, how can I protect you?"
