MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 39 First come, first served

Chapter 39 First come, first served

"I was a little weak just now, but I'm feeling better now. Master Ning has thought carefully and prepared a carriage. It's okay to wait till Prince Jing's Mansion."

Ning Chuyi saw that her face was not red and she was talking nonsense with her eyes open. She was not as weak as before, and she was pretending to be pretty good.

Even though he knew she was faking it, he didn't reveal it, lest he get angry and throw away her hands. Where could he find someone who knew how to deal with puppet souls to help Prince Jing.

 “Without further ado, please invite the girl to get on the carriage.”

Ling Chu did not refuse, nodded and got into the carriage.

The group set off and rushed to Prince Jing’s Mansion.

 …

"Miss Ling, since you are in poor health, why don't you rest in the house and go to collect debts for people like Lu Maoye and Hu Batian?" Wei Feng followed on horseback, looking for words.

Ling Chu was lifting the car curtain and looking at the shops on both sides of the street. Hearing Wei Feng's words, he glanced sideways at him, "Why else? Of course it's to make money! All my family's property was confiscated by your family, and even I don’t have a single coin left. If I don’t think of a way to make money, I’m going to drink the northwest wind.”

Wei Feng glanced at her speechlessly, "Miss Ling, have you forgotten that your home was ransacked by yourself?"

She is not old enough to remember what happened a few days ago, so there is no need to remind her of what she copied from her own family.

Ling Chu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Your family came to the door with guards in uniform. If I don't have my house ransacked, will your family let us go?"

Wei Feng choked, definitely not.

If Miss Ling had not taken the initiative to cooperate with them and ransacked her house, more than 100 lives would have been lost in the Shangshu Mansion, and the grass on the grave would have been several feet high.

It was not easy to mention this again, so Wei Feng had no choice but to shut up angrily.

But he secretly thought that it was not easy for Miss Ling. She had been fostered by her family in a Taoist temple since she was a child. Unexpectedly, something happened to her family just after she returned home.

Nowadays, there are dozens of people in the family, and they still have to rely on her, a weak woman, to find ways to make money.

Ning Chuyi rode aside silently without any rebuttal. After all, it was indeed his home that he led people to raid.

The driver driving Ling Chu's carriage was the driver of Prince Jing's Mansion. He drove the carriage very fast, and after a cup of tea, it had already arrived in front of the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion.

The chief steward of Prince Jing’s Mansion came out of the door quickly and said, “Master Ning, have you invited the real person?”

Ning Chuyi nodded, without saying anything else, turned around and handed the reins to the young man.

The chief steward knew that this gentleman never talked much, so he didn't mind. He turned to the carriage expectantly.

Lingchu saw that the carriage had stopped, raised the curtain, and got out of the carriage using the footstool.

 The chief manager looked astonished. Could it be that he was still dreaming and hadn't woken up?

How can this real person be a young girl?

Lingchu glanced across his face and remained silent, not surprised at all.

 Generally people who see her for the first time have this expression, and she is used to it.

Ning Chuyi knew that the chief manager was surprised, but he didn't say anything more. He just said quietly to Ling Chu, "Let's go."

When the chief steward saw that the two of them had already climbed up the steps in front of the door, he came to his senses and quickly walked a few steps to lead the way.

The chief manager, full of doubts, brought Ning Chuyi and Ling Chu to the main hall of Prince Jing's mansion.

The man and woman sitting at the top are very noble. They must be Prince Jing and Princess Jing.

The two of them were slightly surprised when they saw Ling Chu.

Although they had heard Ning Chuyi mention this Miss Ling before, they didn't expect that she was so young.

Even though the couple had some doubts about Ling Chu's ability, considering Ning Chuyi's character, they couldn't doubt it. But I heard that Miss Ling was taught by Master Xuan Yi. Maybe she has some skills? Forget it, everyone has been invited, it’s not good to just let her go back, let’s let her try.

To Ling Chu’s surprise, there was a Taoist priest sitting in the main hall.

Ning Chuyi frowned slightly when he saw the Taoist priest, but he didn't say much. He just said hello to Prince Jing and Princess Jing, and stood aside silently.

The Taoist Priest in Qingyi heard the movement and looked back. His eyes swept across Ling Chu's face. When he saw Ning Chuyi, he paused slightly and then looked away.

“Your Majesty, Princess, I wonder why you two have invited me here?”

“I invite you two to come over, I want you to help Quanzi see if there is anything wrong with him.”

Prince Jing has a gentle attitude, but after all, he has a noble status and has the aura of someone who has been in power for a long time.

 Princess Jing’s temperament is graceful and luxurious, and she is a rare beauty. However, her brows are slightly furrowed, which means she is worried about Prince Jing’s son.

The Taoist Priest in Qingyi was Taoist Priest Qingyang of Chongxu Temple. When he heard Prince Jing talking about the two of them, he didn’t think much about it. He just thought it meant that he and Commander Ning were still there.

 “Oh, I don’t know Prince Jing…”

Qingyang originally wanted to ask Prince Jing if the crown prince had an evil influence, but considering that he had a noble status, he was afraid that if he asked this question, Prince Jing and his wife would be dissatisfied.

“I can’t tell you exactly what the dog is like, so I’d better ask you two to go over and take a look.”

Taoist Priest Qingyang did not refuse and nodded in agreement, "That's fine."

 Prince Jing and the princess stood up at the same time and walked to Ning Chuyi.

“Master Ning, Miss Ling, please.”

Taoist Priest Qingyang felt a little unhappy when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that Prince Jing and his wife sent someone to invite him over, but they queued him at the back.

That Commander Ning was nothing more than a commander. Although he was only a third-grade Commander of the Imperial Guard, there were rumors that he was the illegitimate son of the emperor who lived abroad before he ascended the throne.

Although this rumor is not known to be true or not, aside from this point, he is still the eldest grandson of the old Ning Guo Gong and the eldest son of the current Ning Guo Gong.

Even though he was in Chongxu Guan, he knew that the emperor really valued Lord Ning very much. When he heard about the impeachment against him, no matter what it was, the emperor suppressed it.

　　No matter what his identity is, Master Ning is not someone he can offend at will. It is understandable that Prince Jing and his wife regard each other as more important than him.

 But that Miss Ling was ranked ahead of him, and he was very dissatisfied.

 Looking at her clothes, she is just a girl from an ordinary family. Prince Xu Jing and his wife saw that she came here with Mr. Ning, so why not be rude?

Lingchu was a little surprised when he saw Prince Jing and his wife coming to invite her first. However, she did not leave first. Instead, she smiled at Prince Jing and his wife, then stepped out of the way, signaling to the Taoist Priest in Qingyi to invite her first.

She did not do this to please the Qingyi Taoist Priest, but because although she was invited by Ning Chuyi, she still had to abide by the first-come, first-served principle.

Taoist Priest Qingyang was stunned for a moment, but without delay, he passed her as a matter of course and walked towards Prince Jing.

Ning Chuyi saw Ling Chu's actions, but seeing her face calm, he couldn't say much.

　　Turn around and walk towards Prince Jing's courtyard with Prince Jing and the princess.

Taoist Priest Qingyang immediately followed him.

Ling Chu was not dissatisfied with this and followed slowly.

If she guessed correctly, Prince Jing might have encountered a big trouble, and the Taoist Priest in Qingyi was just in front of him.
