Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 190 Another plan

Si Buping looked at her and saw that her hair was disheveled and her clothes were covered with dust. She looked quite disheveled.

He said, "At the beginning, I asked you to follow me, but you didn't want to and ran away quietly. I thought you would be able to get along well without me, but now it seems that I overestimated you. Now you have been persecuted to this extent and even your life and property are in danger. Do you regret it?"

Yan Ciwan naturally had no regrets at all.

But now she is a prisoner and her situation is already bad, she can't make it worse.

She looked guilty. "I know that the Grand Master had good intentions. I left without saying goodbye and failed to live up to your kindness. I am sorry for you. I have brought this upon myself. This place is dirty and messy. It is really not a place for a Grand Master to stay. Please leave quickly to avoid being contaminated by bad luck."

Si Buping curled his lips and chuckled: "Are you chasing me away?"

Yan Ciwan immediately denied: "No!"

"I've been to worse places than this. You don't have to use this as an excuse to drive me away. Ning Ci, I came to see you because I want to give you one last chance. As long as you agree to come with me, I can help you get away with this."

Yan Ci Wan met his deep gaze. She always felt that the way he looked at her was strange. It seemed that it was not just simple lust, but was mixed with more complicated emotions.

She asked, "How are you going to help me get out of this crime?"

Si Buping said slowly, "I came to Yizhou to investigate the black market. People keep disappearing in Yizhou, and it's very likely related to the black market. As long as I intervene in the case as the chief of the Inner Guard, I can get you out of jail. When we find out who is behind the black market and prove that the owner of the rouge shop was indeed killed, you will be able to escape punishment."

This is Yan Ciwan's best way out at the moment, but she always feels that Si Buping has other intentions.

She tried to ask, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Si Buping's gaze lingered on her face, and he said slowly, "I don't need you to do anything for now. You just need to stay by my side and be my little maid."

Yan Ciwan is not a three-year-old child and would not believe that pie will fall from the sky. The other party is obviously not telling the truth.

She didn't know what Si Buping's real intention was, and she couldn't be sure whether she would be able to escape unscathed if she fell into his hands.

Compared to Si Buping, who is ruthless and unpredictable, Yan Ciwan trusts Xiao Wang, Chao Lu and others who have shared hardships with him.

She lowered her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Grand Lord, but I can't cause you any more trouble."

Si Buping stared at her steadily, and his eyes gradually became cold.

"You rejected me again."

Yan Ciwan lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, saying, "The Grand Master is busy, and I am in trouble now, and I really don't want to implicate the Grand Master. As for the charge of murder, I believe that the innocent will be innocent, and the truth will come out one day."

Si Buping twitched the corner of his lips and sneered softly.

"At this point, do you still not see the situation clearly? I came here to see you on purpose, which means I have intervened in this case. Even if you don't agree, I can still take you away with just one order. You have no right to refuse."

Yan Ciwan raised his head and looked at him, frowning and asked, "Why does the Grand Chamberlain have to force others to do something difficult?"

"Ning Ci, Xiao Wang can't protect you. You can only be safe if you follow me."

Yan Ciwan doesn’t think she needs anyone else’s protection, she can protect herself.

But she knew that it was useless to say this because Si Buping simply wouldn't listen.

Si Buping asked, "Will you come with me now? Or will you wait for me to send someone to take you away by force?"

Yan Ciwan did not answer.

She really didn't like the feeling of being forced.

Si Buping was not in a hurry, he just looked at her quietly, waiting for her to make her own choice. When the two sides were deadlocked, footsteps were heard outside the cell, followed by Xiao Wang's voice.

"Ning Ci won't go with you."

Yan Ciwan was delighted and immediately turned his head to look at the door, and saw Xiao Wang striding in.

He had been rushing all the way, with beads of sweat still on his forehead, his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.

When seeing Yan Ci Wan, Xiao Wang's expression suddenly relaxed. Although she looked a little embarrassed, fortunately there were no obvious external injuries on her body, so she should not have been bullied by anyone.

Yan Ciwan ran over quickly and called out happily: "Xiao Liu"

Xiao Wang looked guilty: "Sorry, I'm late."

"No, no, you came just in time!"

"I'll take you away." Xiao Wang turned to look at Si Buping, first crossed his arms in greeting, then took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "This is a letter from Lord Xie. He already knows that there is a secret passage in the Rouge Shop, and Ning Ci is not the only suspect. There are still many mysteries in this case. Lord Xie ordered me to bring Ning Ci to see him. He wants to ask Ning Ci about the case in person."

Then he handed the letter to Nie Wuniang who was guarding the door.

Nie Wuniang took the letter with both hands, opened it and checked it. After confirming that it was correct, she immediately looked at Yan Ciwan and said, "You can leave now."

Yan Ciwan had long wanted to leave this damn place, and without any hesitation, she immediately walked out with Xiao Wang.

When they passed by Nie Wuniang, Nie Wuniang suddenly stretched out her hand and whispered something.

"key."

Yan Ciwan pointed to the wooden barrel in the corner of the cell and said, "The key is thrown there, go pick it up yourself."

At this moment, the chief leader was still standing in the cell. He looked unhappy and was obviously in a bad mood. Nie Wuniang did not dare to offend him and could only stay outside the cell door.

Only after the chief leader left did Nie Wuniang dare to enter the cell. She moved the wooden barrel away and found the key in the corner.

She quickly picked up the key and put it in her arms, she breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally settling down.

When she walked out of the women's prison and saw that it was already dark outside, Yan Ciwan realized that it was already evening.

She thought she was going to the governor's mansion next, but Xiao Wang took her to the storage room in the government office where files were stored.

This place is secluded and seldom visited. It is also surrounded by trees, making it particularly quiet and peaceful.

Xiao Wang walked up and knocked on the door. After getting permission, he pushed the door open and walked in. Yan Ci Wan followed closely behind him.

An oil lamp was lit in the storeroom. A middle-aged man in a green shirt was sitting behind a desk with a book in his hand. The dim candlelight reflected on his face. He looked to be about forty years old, with handsome features and an elegant temperament. He was a very handsome man with a charming demeanor.

He heard the noise, looked up, his eyes were very gentle.

"You are here."

Xiao Wang saluted him with his arms crossed: "Greetings, Envoy Xie."

Only then did Yan Ciwan realize that the handsome middle-aged man in front of her was the Governor of Yizhou, and she also saluted with her arms crossed.

Governor Xie put down the book in his hand and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you Ning Ci?"
