Chapter 356 requires rematching.
“This is just wishful thinking on our part. Ning Xuan is not the type to be easily manipulated. What can we do if she doesn’t agree?” someone objected.

"If one of Ning Xuan's contractors is involved in a scandal and it spreads to the public, wouldn't that indicate that the previous matchmaking wasn't suitable? Wouldn't it be reasonable for us to request a rematch then?" someone said.

“As far as I know, all of Ning Xuan’s contractors are devoted to her, so it’s impossible for anyone to be involved in any scandals,” Di Jingtian, who had been silent all along, couldn’t help but speak up.

Di Jingtian is Di Youlin's father. Although Di Youlin is only Ning Xuan's contracted slave, Di Jingtian still has some understanding of the identities of Ning Xuan's various contracted partners.

"Even if someone does have a scandal, it's just the actions of a few individuals. As long as that person is dealt with, it's fine. We can't expect Ning Xuan to agree to a rematch, can we?" Di Jingtian knew that since someone was saying this, someone must have already made a move against Ning Xuan's contractor in secret.

Apart from Chen Nan, all of Ning Xuan's contractors have impressive backgrounds, and Chen Nan is the most likely target for them.

“If Ning Xuan doesn’t want to deal with that person, shouldn’t she make a compromise?” asked the head of the Ji family, one of the seven members of the Senate.

Ning Xuan was unaware of the Senate's scheme at this time. She had already spotted Chen Nan in the crowd. Although he seemed perfectly normal, Ning Xuan could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him.

"Father, Cao Yulan not only publicly abused Chen Hao, but also conspired with Jin Shanshan to drug Chen Hao and me. Chen Hao's condition is bad, and we need to get him to the hospital immediately." Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Mu and the others arrive, but his expression turned grim.

Jin Shanshan knew from Chen Nan's condition that the plan had failed, but she was not flustered. After all, she needed evidence to prove that she had drugged him, whether it was a drug reaction or drug residue.

Without evidence, it's just speculation.

Jin Shanshan secretly sent Ji Wuchen a message that the plan had failed, and also secretly relayed the details of the situation to Ji Wuchen.

"I'm innocent, Father! I hit Chen Hao a few times in anger, but I absolutely did not drug him. He is my contractor, why would I drug him?" Cao Yulan shouted loudly.

“If you don’t believe me, you can report it to the Supervision Department for investigation. I will definitely cooperate with the investigation.” Cao Yulan said this while looking at Jin Shanshan’s reaction.

She thought Jin Shanshan would definitely jump out to stop it, because whoever jumps out to stop it is guilty. However, Jin Shanshan did not stop it, but watched coldly from the side, as if she didn't care at all.

Even as everyone else's attention was drawn to her, Jin Shanshan shrugged and said, "I didn't drug her, and I'm willing to cooperate with the investigation."

In a short while, Chen Nan's face turned red, his heart pounded like a drum, and the blood in his veins accelerated. He was very familiar with this feeling; it was the feeling of a fever that had been suppressed for a long time and then exploded when it could no longer be suppressed.

Chen Nan soon felt dizzy, his body was restless and his surging energy was about to erupt. He felt that his actions were about to get out of control.

Suddenly, a familiar scent calmed his agitation. Chen Nan looked up in the direction from which the scent was coming and saw Ning Xuan walking towards him.

The moment Chen Nan saw Ning Xuan, his previously confused mind cleared up.

A surge of grievance welled up inside him, and his eyes instantly reddened. Chen Nan rushed to Ning Xuan and collapsed at her feet. "My lord, have you come to take me? Someone drugged my room. I've already taken suppressants, but..."

Ning Xuan wore an embroidered long dress. She was tall, with fair skin and exquisite features. Having just spent half a year training on the battlefield, she still carried an aura of fierceness, clearly not an ordinary person. Jin Shanshan had seen Ning Xuan before at the Central Star Military Academy. Upon seeing her now, she recognized her immediately. Even though she believed she hadn't left any clues, she couldn't help but feel flustered.

Seeing Chen Nan fall to the ground, Ning Xuan bent down and picked him up. "Yun Han, go inside and check. Collect any suspicious items. Keep an eye on the door and don't let anyone sneak out to report anything," Ning Xuan instructed Yun Han.

"Yes, Master," Yun Han replied.

Ning Xuan carried Chen Nan, intending to leave. Since the fever suppressant was no longer effective, there was only one way to alleviate the fever symptoms.

Chen Nan is Ning Xuan's contractor, so Ning Xuan naturally can't stand by and watch something happen to him.

"Master, please save Chen Hao. Can you take him with you?" Chen Nan whispered in Ning Xuan's ear.

"Are you out of your mind? His master is right there!" Ning Xuan stared at Chen Nan with displeasure.

“Cao Yulan has been abusing Chen Hao for the past few years, preventing him from returning to the army and keeping him imprisoned here. He doesn’t want to live like this anymore, Master, please save him,” Chen Nan pleaded again.

"You'll only cause me trouble. Take the one on the ground with you." Ning Xuan instructed Lan Xin, who had been following behind her.

"You must be Ning Xuan. I am Bai Xiuwen's fourth sister, Bai Xiuyun. You should call me aunt." Someone from the Bai family came over to talk to Ning Xuan. Bai Xiuying and Bai Xiuzhu watched the commotion with some anticipation.

Ning Xuan frowned upon hearing this. "I'm sorry, but I don't have the habit of casually claiming relatives. My parents never mentioned that we have any other relatives. So, if you want to claim relatives, go find my parents, don't come to me."

After Ning Xuan finished speaking, she carried Chen Nan away from the scene, leaving Yun Han to handle the aftermath.

Also leaving was Chen Hao, who had been knocked unconscious by Chen Nan. The Cao family originally disagreed, but Chen Nan's father, Wang Mu, stopped them. If he had to choose between the Cao family and Ning Xuan, Wang Mu would naturally have to choose to offend the Cao family.

On the Senate side, the head of the Ji family had received a message from Ji Wuchen, informing him that something had gone wrong with Ning Xuan and that they hadn't been able to capture the photos they wanted.

The others also learned about what happened at Qianjin Restaurant through various channels.

"If you ask me, the Information Center could just ask Ning Xuan to re-match, there's no need to go through all this trouble!" one of the elders said.

"Yes, look at how they pulled this stunt out of nowhere; it makes their methods seem less than honorable," someone agreed.

"Just because your family doesn't have any young people of suitable age doesn't mean we don't have any either."
