Chapter 227 Yes, I can
The four of them left Baihua Tower, but met Gu Yunshen and Chu Aotian outside Baihua Tower. Gu Yunshen was wearing a purple robe, with an upright posture and a gentle face with his usual smile, but when he saw Chu Qingning, surprise flashed in his eyes. Why did this girl come here?
Chu Aotian was wearing a black robe and had a serious expression on his face. He exuded the majesty of a superior. He glanced at Hua Liuli and the others, and when he saw Chu Qingning, Chu Aotian was slightly startled.
When Chu Qingning saw Gu Yunshen and Chu Aotian, joy flashed across her face and she happily went up to them, "Mr. Gu, Brother Aotian, why are you here?"
Gu Yunshen had a perfect smile on his face, and his voice was as gentle as jade: "Princess Qingning."
Chu Qingning frowned slightly when he called her Princess Qingning, and waved her hand, "Mr. Gu, there's no need to be polite, just call me Qingning." Then, she said with a tone full of joy, "Mr. Gu, it's great to see you here, I was thinking..."
Chu Aotian coughed lightly, interrupting Chu Qingning's words, and asked seriously, "Qingning, why are you here? Did you sneak out again without telling your father?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingning hurriedly explained, "Brother Aotian, I didn't sneak out. I told my father about it."
Chu Aotian's brows twisted into a "川" shape when he heard this, and his eyes locked onto Chu Qingning, his tone full of doubt: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Your father loves you very much, how could he easily allow you to come out and come to this brothel?"
Chu Qingning felt a little guilty, his eyes dodged for a moment, and he whispered, "Before I left, I left a letter for my father, so I didn't sneak out."
Chu Aotian: “…”
This girl has really been spoiled by her uncle. She actually dared to leave the house alone and come to such a far place. She has no sense of crisis at all.
Chu Aotian was about to say something when Ning Sangsang spoke up, "Let's go back to the inn and talk. The entrance to Baihua Tower is not a good place to talk."
Chu Aotian swallowed his words of blame after hearing this and said to Chu Qingning, "Come back to the inn with me."
Chu Qingning nodded obediently when she heard that. She was most afraid of this cold-faced cousin.
……
Back at the inn, back at the inn, Chu Aotian looked stern, and after scanning the area, he said in a deep voice: "Send all the staff away."
The guards immediately followed the order and soon, only Chu Qingning, Chu Aotian, Gu Yunshen, Hua Liuli, Su Xiaoyu and Ning Sangsang were left in the hall.
Chu Aotian's face was tense, and he spoke first: "Qingning, you are really fooling around. You actually ran away without telling your father. If something happens..."
Chu Qingning saw that he began to blame her, and before he could finish his words, she interrupted him and said, "Brother Aotian, I was wrong. I shouldn't have sneaked out without telling my father. Don't worry, I will never sneak out again after this time."
Seeing her good attitude in admitting her mistakes, Chu Aotian's originally stern expression softened a little, "Qingning, you have been raised in the palm of your hand since you were a child, and you don't know how treacherous people are in this world. You are safe and sound this time, but it's just luck. If something really happened, how would you let your uncle bear it?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingning hurriedly apologized, "Brother Aotian, I really know I was wrong. From now on I will listen to my father and never sneak out again." As she spoke, she secretly looked up at Chu Aotian. Seeing that his expression had relaxed, she felt a little relieved. She was really afraid that her cousin would be angry and ask someone to send her home. She had sneaked out with great difficulty, and now she didn't want to go home at all.
Chu Aotian slowed down his tone after hearing this and asked, "Qingning, why did you go to Baihua Tower? What are you doing there as a princess?"
Chu Qingning subconsciously dodged when he heard that, and lied, "I... I'm just curious and want to go and take a look."
Chu Aotian saw that she was lying, his face darkened a little, and he stared at Chu Qingning with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me the truth, or I will send someone to send you home immediately."
Chu Qingning dared not hide it anymore after hearing this, and confessed honestly: "Brother Aotian, I didn't want to go there on my own. I was taken to Baihua Tower by someone. A few days ago, I got separated from the guards, and then I was kidnapped and sold to Baihua Tower."
Chu Aotian heard this and a chill emanated from his body. His eyes were filled with anger. He called the guards and ordered, "Go to the government office immediately and have the prefect bring all the yamen runners to seal up Baihua Tower! Don't let any of them go. Detain and interrogate them all! Anyone who bullies Qingning will be executed."
The guards quickly took orders and left.
[How domineering! This shows the benefits of power.] Ning Sangsang couldn't help but sigh in her heart as she listened.
Chu Qingning listened to Ning Sangsang's thoughts and subconsciously glanced at Ning Sangsang.
Ning Sangsang saw Chu Qingning's puzzled expression and knew that Chu Qingning was very confused after hearing her inner voice, so she deliberately said in her heart:
[Why is Princess Qingning looking at me? Did I just speak out what was in my heart?]
Chu Qingning's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this.
She could actually hear Ning Sangsang's inner voice!
"You guys..." She opened her mouth, wanting to ask others if they heard any sound, but she found that her throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible big hand and she couldn't make any sound.
Hua Liuli understood Chu Qingning's reaction. She walked to Chu Qingning, raised her hand and gently patted her shoulder. With a gentle smile on her lips, she said softly, "Don't panic, Princess. This is normal."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingning looked at Hua Liuli in surprise and asked, "You can also..." She couldn't say the rest.
Hua Liuli nodded gently, still with a gentle smile on her face, and said, "Yes, I can." Then she added, "Others can, too."
Chu Qingning: "..."
So many people can hear Ning Sangsang’s thoughts!
Su Xiaoyu couldn't hear Ning Sangsang's inner thoughts. Seeing Chu Qingning and Hua Liuli talking strangely, she asked curiously, "Sister Hua, Princess Qingning, what are you talking about?"
Hua Liuli smiled and responded, "Nothing."
Su Xiaoyu couldn't hear Ning Sangsang's inner thoughts, and she didn't know how to explain.
When Chu Qingning heard Su Xiaoyu's words, he blinked and asked subconsciously: "You can't..." Having said this, he couldn't say the rest.
Hearing this, Su Xiaoyu asked, "What can't I do? Don't always leave your words half-sentenced. It makes me anxious." She looked at Chu Qingning with curiosity.
Chu Qingning: "..."
She wanted to say it, but she couldn't.
Hua Liuli said to Chu Qingning: "Xiaoyu can't."
Chu Qingning immediately understood what she meant when she heard it.
