Chapter 136 Who is more insidious (4)
"Dad!" Duanmu Lei seemed not surprised and called out quickly.
Marquis Zhenwei nodded calmly and turned his gaze to Wei Ning.
The acting skills of this father and son are not good either. It is obvious that Marquis Zhenwei wanted to see her, so he brought her here alone. Why are they pretending to meet by chance now?
"Your Highness, long time no see." Marquis Zhenwei glanced at her and said coldly.
Wei Ning said hurriedly: "Before in the Imperial College, Qingning was ignorant and offended the Marquis Zhenwei. Please forgive me."
Marquis Zhenwei raised his eyebrows. This prince brought up the embarrassing thing that happened at the Imperial Academy that day. Humph, what a brat!
But this made him feel at ease, and he felt that the prince was not a good person. If he was a little smart, he would not bring it up on his own initiative.
This further strengthened Marquis Zhenwei's decision to support the puppet prince.
"There is no need to mention the past. I am not a petty person." Marquis Zhenwei said magnanimously.
"Marquis Zhenwei is indeed magnanimous, but the death of Miss Duanmu makes people sad." Wei Ning said, this old guy is really patient!
Marquis Zhenwei had many children, so he didn't care about the death of a daughter. However, Duanmuxue had the highest talent among the daughters of the Duanmu family, and her death was indeed a big blow to Marquis Zhenwei.
Moreover, it was such a cruel method!
"That codename N, I will never let her go!"
"I don't know how our family has offended her? She has to take the initiative to provoke us again and again!" Duanmu Lei was even more furious when he thought of the frame-up of Princess Heqing's death.
Wei Ning smiled secretly. Duanmu Lei even issued a high bounty in Xinghe, but unfortunately he hasn't even seen the shadow of Codename N yet. How can he not be angry?
"The few things he has done since he showed up are really scary." Wei Ning sighed hypocritically , "It's a pity that we can't catch her, ah..."
"It may be possible that we can't catch her!" Duanmu Lei laughed sinisterly, "She is so deliberate in dealing with our Duanmu family. She must have a grudge against us. There are not many families that have such strength as her. I have sent people to investigate. There should be some clues!"
Wei Ning wanted to laugh. Why didn't these idiots come to check on her? She and they had a deep hatred!
Marquis Zhenwei asked, "Prince, I heard that you were reprimanded by the Regent today?"
Speaking of this, Wei Ning immediately lowered her head and said, "It's just for Concubine Shi. The emperor's uncle is making a fuss. He interferes with me even though I like a woman! He is already the regent, is he going to force me to give up even the person I like?"
Duanmu and his son immediately exchanged glances. As expected, the prince was simple-minded, and it was inevitable that he would feel resentment towards the regent for the sake of a woman.
And now, they naturally stood on the side of the prince to win her favor.
"The regent is in power now, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot make the decision. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, we won't have to worry about him."
"Alas, Marquis Zhenwei's words are to comfort me. I know that with my strength and status, I dare not offend the emperor's uncle." Wei Ning sighed.
Hearing her say this, Marquis Zhenwei was immediately relieved. It seemed that the prince did have a rebellious heart!
The regent is in a high position and has great power. On the surface, no one dares to resist him, but secretly, who doesn't envy him?
The prince is even worse!
"Don't worry, Prince. I have devoted my life to the Qinglong Empire and have been loyal to it. The prince is the legitimate heir, and I will definitely stand on his side."
"Marquis Zhenwei is very wise and righteous. Qingning is very grateful..." Wei Ning quickly stood up and cooperated in the acting.
