Chapter 1850: Shame to Lose Your Integrity at This Age

Why would he be so proactive if there was no benefit to him?
“What are you looking at me like that for?” The old man saw her staring straight at him with a strange expression and he couldn’t help but ask, “You are looking at me so strangely. You girl, you don’t seem like an ordinary person.”
Ordinary people would have shouted by now, there was no way they would have remained so calm.
“I am an ordinary person. I just wanted to ask if my maid has fainted again?” Ning Shu asked.
The old man nodded. “Yeah.”
“Why do you keep saying that you’re looking for the person with the purple qi? What do you want them for?” Ning Shu asked casually.
The old man shook his head. “Nothing, just wanted to see what the child of heaven was like.”
Ning Shu just gave a polite laugh.
“I didn’t see any purple qi erupting to the sky.” Ning Shu hooked the corner of her mouth. “Old man, please leave. It’d be a pity to be taken as a flower thief and completely lose your integrity at this age.”
The old man touched his beard and couldn’t help but sigh. Then he jumped out of the window. He threw a small stone at Pei Lan on his way out.
Pei Lan got up from the ground with a dumbfounded look, wondering why she was lying on the ground again.
Ning Shu sat on the bed. It was not that she didn’t want to take this old man as a teacher and learn pressure points martial arts, but this old man obviously had some criteria on his mind and he simply would not accept her as a disciple.
What he wanted was a disciple who was destined for greatness.
Ning Shu did not believe that the old man only came to look at the Son of Heaven, she just did not know what benefit it would bring to the old man.
“Miss, you’re awake?” Pei Lan entered the room and walked to the bedside as she asked, “Miss, do you want to eat now?”
Ning Shu nodded and asked Pei Lan to prepare the meal. While Ning Shu was eating, Pei Lan kept glancing over at her, looking like she wanted to say something.
“Speak, what’s the matter?” Ning Shu asked, knowing that it was going to be about money.
“Miss, have you forgotten something?” Pei Lan knelt down, “Didn’t Miss say that she wanted to build forces that could protect her and help her rise to the top, but why hasn’t Miss made a move at all?”
Pei Lan was obviously dissatisfied with Ning Shu doing nothing all this time.
Ning Shu glanced at Pei Lan, feeling that she was no longer loyal. Pei Lan had submitted to Ying Su but now that Ying Su’s soul was no longer here, Pei Lan was naturally having different thoughts.
“I have my own thoughts on this matter. Clean the table.” Ning Shu waved her hand at Pei Lan.
Pei Lan was somewhat irritated and her expression showed it. She was clearly tired of doing things that a servant should do. She was wondering when they would have the power to take revenge. Having stayed in the Feng Residence for this long, she came to realize that Feng Chang was really cunning and wise, and that there would be no way to take revenge.
They would clearly die if they fought alone.
The siblings had placed all their hopes on Feng Qingqian but she didn’t seem keen on pursuing power anymore. She was just being a good girl of the Feng family.
Pei Lan pressed her lips together and cleared the plates on the table.
When Pei Lan left, Ning Shu put away the makeup box that was on the dressing table. She also hid some valuable jewelry and some silver.
Originally, Ning Shu had done this as a precaution, to guard against Pei Lan, but she never thought that Pei Lan would really sneak into her room at night to look for something.
Ning Shu sat on the bed and watched silently as Pei Lan lit an oil lamp and felt around.
Damn, it really was different, even for the same person. People willingly became followers of Ying Su when she acted just a little cool but all she got was a follower who steals her things. The heavens were so unfair!
The fortune on her body was diminishing extremely fast. To be precise, Ying Su had the fortune and now that Ying Su has left the body, she has now become an insignificant supporting role.
