When she woke up in this era, Dongfang Ning had been seriously thinking about how to take care of her family, how to live a good life with her brother, and how to bring care of her family.
Later on, when she found out that there was this heaven defying existence called the Intelligent Brain, she changed. She didn't care about anything, and she was not anxious about anything, because no matter what happened, she could use the Intelligent Brain's powers to deal with it quickly. Now that she discovered that the Intelligent Brain had lost its ability, she couldn't help but to be cautious.
"I can't let my lazy days pass!"
Dongfang Ning mumbled to herself as she stood up and started putting on her clothes.
Dongfang Ning wasn't someone who just sat there and waited for her death. Now, she was going to rely on her own strength to protect her family and protect herself, just like how she defended against the Cen Family back then.
"Mistress, you've finally come out. Madam has come seven or eight times, so I was afraid you might fall into the water …"
Xue'er stood outside the door all this time. During this time, Mei Erli had switched places with her and went to eat. The two girls only waited outside the "Mu Yue Chi" nervously after their meal, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Although there were nearly two hundred people in the Princess Mansion and a hundred guards, no one knew who the traitor was, and it was impossible for him to not be cautious. After all, those people were sent here by the Emperor, and he did not know how many of them were spies of the various masters in the Imperial Palace.
Mei Er secretly heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that there was nothing wrong with Dongfang Ning. This was the first time they had received a formal mission, and Master had actually not come out at all after entering the Moon Lake for more than ten days.
The servants still knew what the masters of other families were doing, but they had no way to know what their masters were doing. This kind of empty defense gave people a lot of psychological pressure.
"Stop talking, let's go, I'm hungry!"
"Did something happen in the past two days?"
Dongfang Ning asked Xue'er as she ate. She felt that she had a lot of things to take care of, and she had to do them urgently. She couldn't just ignore everything like she used to, and only by knowing everything would she be able to come up with a solution.
"The Minister of the Left has come to request an audience. Madam said that you've been feeling unwell for the past two days, so I told him to come back in a few days …"
The Minister of the Left didn't even ask to see her. Ai, this is a pity … Dongfang Ning suddenly felt that she had to find a backer, so she didn't know who to look for. Although Moon King was her grandpa, he had left the court for a long time, so she didn't know if others would give him face. Besides protecting her family, she couldn't let Moon King suffer any grievances.
"Princess Yun Rou came to apologize this morning. When she saw that Mistress was not around, she left a notice saying that she wanted to ask Mistress out to swim in the lake."
It seemed that this girl knew that he had gotten into trouble and wanted to find her for help. But could she really help?
The empress had kept the crown prince busy seizing the throne, and Dongfang Ning had known about this before. Now, she did not know what the crown prince was thinking about, and whether supporting a new emperor would benefit her or not.
Who should he help?
The other people who had the most chance of becoming the Emperor were Third Prince and Yan Wuhen. If it was said that the Emperor would not fall out with Cen Family for Princess Qimeng, then the authority would still return to Third Prince.
As for Yang Qing, for the time being, he did not dare to rebel. However, the power behind him was not small. Since the imperial court did not have enough men to take him back, he could only act wisely.
It was a secret, of course, so that his men would not know that the Emperor was aware of the infidelity of Monsignor, or else the situation would be unthinkable.
How to get the best out of this situation and be in an invincible position became Dongfang Ning's greatest concern at the moment.
"Tomorrow, go to the Zuo Residence and see what the Minister of the Left is looking for me for!"
After Xue'er finished talking about the past two days, Dongfang Ning said something that she wouldn't have said before.
Xue'er was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Yes, I'll get someone to pass on the service now." What's wrong with Mistress? She suddenly became a different person, before this, when these kinds of people came to visit, she had always ignored them, but now she wanted to take the initiative to visit them?
Of course, they didn't know that Dongfang Ning's goal right now was to become a powerful person and must have her own power. Yan Wuzhan was in the open, so she could stay in the dark and not make friends with Yan Wuzhan.
"Ah, is this true?"
This time, she was almost beaten to death by Zuo Xiuxiu, who laid in bed for three or four days without being able to recover. Just now, her father came to her excitedly and told her that Princess Anning was coming tomorrow, so how could she not be happy.
"It's true. Can you get off your bed tomorrow? Sigh, your father has treated you two unfairly. If you're here tomorrow …"
Zuo Qing was embarrassed to say that Princess Anning had caught him red-handed in his scandal at home. The princess was coming tomorrow, so if Qing’er was present, it might hinder the domineering princess' temper.
Today, he came to ask for forgiveness and didn't even dare to think about what Princess Anning would do for him. He had already asked about what happened that day in a clear dream. His eldest daughter bullied Princess Anning's good friend.
At that time, he really did not know how to deal with it, but when he thought about it later, his family matters could not be left to an outsider. Although the princess was acting as a friend to him, this was his home, and he had trespassed into other people's family and beat up their entire family.
Therefore, after thinking for two days, he still decided to express his goodwill towards Dongfang Ning. He didn't want to offend someone who had never done anything wrong.
"Tomorrow, my daughter will go to the front hall to pay respects to her father."
Zuo Qingqing knew what her father was thinking. She didn't think Princess Anning would dare to offend the Prime Minister for a maid like her. However, this was enough. She had to pretend she was fine and worry about peace.
Hearing his daughter's cute reply, Zuo Qing felt that he didn't really care about their mother before this:
"You really are father's good daughter. I have treated you badly in the past. I think you should move to the Plum Blossom House. I'll have the housekeeper come and help you carry your things!"
