Chapter 210: Chapter 210

When Nanny Zhang spoke up to remind her, Jun Ning had only one thought.

It’s over, it’s over, I can’t get out now.

Because once she leaves, that troublesome little Qi Xiao will start causing trouble again. When he makes a fuss, the entire General Mansion is in chaos. And besides her by his side to calm him down, no one else, not even Madam Qi, could manage him.

Although he’s asleep now and won’t be making a fuss for the moment, there’s always a chance he might suddenly wake up.

So just in case, Madam Qi definitely wouldn’t let her go out.

Jun Ning wanted to run away with Nanny Zhang immediately. However, Madam Qi seemed to have seen through her intentions and had already instructed the guards to stop her.

"Guards at the door, stop the princess for me."

Jun Ning: "........."

"Mother, Nanny Zhang and I have urgent matters to attend to outside," Jun Ning turned back helplessly to look at Madam Qi, "Please don’t stop us, just let us go?"

Otherwise, if she insists on stopping them, it will surely delay important matters.

Nanny Zhang’s unreliable husband might stir up some trouble again.

Jun Ning, worried, was thoroughly dejected, fearing that Madam Qi would not agree.

However, Madam Qi took a furry cloak from a girl’s hands behind her and personally draped it over Jun Ning, speaking with concern, "Yi Yi, it’s cold, make sure to dress warmly when you go out."

Jun Ning’s eyes lit up, "Mother, are you agreeing to let us leave the mansion?"

Seeing Madam Qi nod, Jun Ning was so happy she almost jumped up, "Mother, thank you, you’re so kind. Yi Yi promises to be back within two hours."

"But..." leaving the mansion came with conditions.

Hearing that "but" from Madam Qi, Jun Ning’s heart clenched tightly.

What is it, is mother going to go back on her word?

Madam Qi did not go back on her word. She was just a bit worried, looking at Nanny Zhang behind Jun Ning, "Yi Yi, as the emperor’s beloved daughter, there are quite a few people watching you. If you only bring Nanny Zhang with you, what if something happens?"

Madam Qi’s concern was heartfelt.

Because after all these days together, whether out of gratitude or feelings developed over time, she already had feelings for Jun Ning.

Even though she had been upset about the arranged marriage by the emperor over the matter with Qi Xiao, and had some complaints that affected Jun Ning as well.

But later, she realized and regretted a bit, feeling a little ashamed.

Yi Yi is just a child; what does she understand about the adult’s conflicts? What is there to hold against her?

She realized she was wrong.

To make up for her mistake, she vowed to be good to Yi Yi and protect her in the future.

"So, Yi Yi, you can go out, but listen to your mother and take more people with you."

Madam Qi selected a few highly skilled individuals from the household soldiers to accompany Jun Ning, ensuring her safety.

Jun Ning genuinely just wanted to go out quietly to handle her affairs. But these household soldiers were all big and burly, looking extraordinary at a glance. Walking with her on the street would definitely turn heads.

Jun Ning wanted to refuse.

But if she refused, Madam Qi wouldn’t let her go out.

In the end, she had no choice but to accept it.

However, there should be some benefits, right?

At least her safety was indeed guaranteed.

Thinking this way, Jun Ning, along with Nanny Zhang and others, arrived at the home of her unreliable husband.

According to Nanny Zhang, they had parted ways long ago, so the man now was no longer her husband, at most her ex-husband.

This person now lived in a very remote courtyard in a small alley on South Street, with the gate open.

Through that gate, Jun Ning saw the desolation, mess, and barrenness inside.

Nanny Zhang started wiping her tears as soon as she arrived here.

That scoundrel husband of hers had ruined her life, not to mention he also took her son away. Taking him away was one thing, but if he treated him well, she wouldn’t have much to say.

But it wasn’t enough for him to ruin her; now he wanted to ruin her son’s life too.

"Nanny, don’t cry for people who aren’t worth it."

In this world, only people and things worth it deserve our tears.

"Princess, this old servant understands." Nanny Zhang wiped her tears and then put on her usual unapproachable demeanor.

Before entering, Jun Ning disguised herself a bit.

She smeared her little face with ash and changed into tattered clothes. She looked like she was dressed as a beggar. But in fact, the clothes were clean, just a little torn.

"Nanny, wait outside with the household soldiers, I’ll go in first. When I call you, you can come in," Jun Ning said.

Nanny Zhang was a bit worried, "Princess, my unreliable husband is ruthless. If he can harm his own son, he certainly won’t be kind to you if you come into conflict with him. You can’t just go in ."

Thinking about it, Jun Ning pointed to a soldiery casually, "Well, let him guard on the roof. If something happens to me, he can come in to help immediately."

The tiles on the roof can usually be taken off.

Having a soldier guard on the roof was indeed a good idea.

Jun Ning entered the door in her tattered attire, fiddling with a few dice in her hand.

The reason she dressed was to impersonate someone.

The daughter of the gang leader.

This girl was born with a love for dice and was addicted to gambling by the age of three.

It was unknown if it was because of her good luck or her skill in cheating, but she always won every gamble.

Jun Ning had her eye on this characteristic of always winning and thus impersonated her.

The dice in Jun Ning’s hands were prepared beforehand.

Since Nanny Zhang’s husband was such a gambler, she would bet big with him under the guise of the gang leader’s daughter. At that time, if he lost and couldn’t pay the gambling debt, Jun Ning would be able to propose conditions.

As for what conditions to propose, Jun Ning already had her plan.

She would demand that Nanny Zhang’s son be handed over to her, with a written contract to boot. Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽

If Nanny Zhang’s husband, no, her ex-husband, refused to acknowledge the debt, Jun Ning could still threaten him as the daughter of the gang leader and force him to write the contract.

So the identity of the gang leader’s daughter was indeed very handy.

For Jun Ning, it was beneficial and harmless.

Much more useful than her role as a princess, who everyone sought to curry favor with after she gained the Emperor’s affection in hopes of profiting from her.

"Hey, who are you? What are you here for?" An old man sitting by the south wall basking in the sun saw a little beggar suddenly show up and asked irritably.
