"The Ning Family? Are you talking about... the Transport Envoy Ning Family that controls the lifeblood of the Canal, flowing from south to north?"
Su Pan'er had indeed often heard people mention the Ning Family in front of her recently.
But where exactly had she heard it?
She couldn't seem to recall.
Jiu Lan leaned in close and reported to her in a soft voice.
"Empress, before the palace examination results were announced, Uncle-in-law had had some interactions with the third son of the Ning Family. At that time, there was a girl named Hanmei who was the top courtesan of Wentao Pavilion. For Miss Hanmei, Uncle-in-law once had a bit of a verbal spat with this third son of the Ning Family. As for the details, our people were unable to investigate."
That's right!
