Chapter 2248: An Unexpected Surprise

As long as this deal was successful, her sister would no longer be targeted by the s.h.i.+ family and even abandoned by them.

She would also become a hero of the s.h.i.+ family.

At that time, if she and the clan proposed a divorce with King Fan, the clan would definitely agree.

As long as she returned to the s.h.i.+ family successfully, she would still be the legitimate daughter of the s.h.i.+ family and enjoy all the glory of being the legitimate daughter of the s.h.i.+ family.

However, would things really go as she wished?

“Consort Fan, what did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly. Can you say it again?”

Lu Zijia tugged at her ears, wondering if she had heard wrongly.

s.h.i.+ Ningning used Xuanyuan Fan’s secret deeds to make a deal with her? Was his brain really muddled from anger?

She was not Xuanyuan Fan’s political leader. Enemies, even if they knew about the things that Xuan Yuan Fan had done in secret, so what?

Moreover, if she wanted to pull Xuanyuan Fan down, there was no need to go through so much trouble.

Furthermore, even if she didn’t need to take action, the current Xuan Yuan Fan was already fated to have that position.

Just an hour ago, the Vice Princ.i.p.al had helped the Emperor pa.s.s a message to her.”

The next emperor would definitely not be Xuanyuan Fan, so she could rest a.s.sured.

For Xuanyuan Fan, who coveted that position, nothing could strike him more than losing the throne.

Lu Zijia guessed that the Emperor had asked the Chief Deputy Director to tell her this at this time because she could refine half-step Heaven Grade pills.

But no matter what, this was good news for her.

Thinking that Lu Zijia was pretending not to hear her clearly, s.h.i.+ Ningning could not help but be annoyed. However, she still suppressed her temper and said,” Master Lu, don’t you want to know who really wanted to attack the Lin Country more than ten years ago?”

Lu Zijia, who was about to ask the guards to escort her out, could not help but look solemn.

A moment later, he said calmly,” More than ten years ago?”

” That’s right. More than ten years ago, before you came to partic.i.p.ate in Hongtian Academy’s examination.”

Seeing that Lu Zijia’s expression did not change at all, s.h.i.+ Ningning, who was originally full of confidence, could not help but become a little anxious.

“Master Lu, you have to think carefully. If you miss this chance to know the truth, you won’t have that chance in the future.”

s.h.i.+ Ningning’s words were obviously a threat to Lu Zijia.

However, Lu Zijia smiled nonchalantly.” I appreciate Consort Fan’s kindness, but I don’t need this opportunity.”

s.h.i.+ Ningning had said from the beginning that she would use Xuanyuan Fan’s secret matters as a deal. Basically, she did not need to use her brain. According to s.h.i.+ Ningning’s words, she could infer that the person who really attacked Lin Country was Xuanyuan Fan.

With such a big mistake, it was obvious that s.h.i.+ Ningning’s heart was already in a mess before she stepped into her courtyard.

She took the initiative to discuss a deal with someone else, but she couldn’t calm down. She didn’t know if she should call s.h.i.+ Ningning stupid or stupid.

Seeing Lu Zijia’s nonchalant expression, s.h.i.+ Ningning was surprised. She clearly did not expect Lu Zijia to have such a reaction.

s.h.i.+ Ningning was about to say something when she suddenly realized the major mistake she had made.

“You, you…I…!”

Realizing that she had let the cat out of the bag, s.h.i.+ Ningning was filled with regret. She even had the intention to kill herself.

She actually made a mistake at such a critical moment. It was simply, simply…

Lu Zijia raised her eyes slightly and looked at s.h.i.+ Ningning, who seemed to have made her cry. She was in a good mood and revealed a brilliant smile.” Thank you, Consort Fan, for coming to give me such an unexpected surprise.”
