After I traveled through the book, I spoiled the anorexic prince

On a dark night, Wei Wu was lying on a big banyan tree not far from Gu's house to rest. He noticed someone approaching the house, so he followed the two people on tiptoe in the faint moonlight. When he was about to knock the people unconscious and throw them into the haystack, he heard the little beggar holding the door and saying to wait until dawn.

The voice sounded familiar, and Wei Wu paused. He looked the man over carefully and recognized the little beggar. He asked him the purpose of his coming. The little beggar insisted on waiting until Gu Qinghe woke up before he could tell him anything. His voice was soft and pitiful, and he didn't sound like he had any ill intentions.

Wei Wu just went with him, but he changed from keeping watch on the banyan tree to keeping watch on the roof.

The weather grew colder in the second half of the night. Wei Wu did not feel that cold because he was wearing thicker clothes and a quilt he brought from the county government office. However, the two thinly dressed boys outside the courtyard gate did not feel that way. They huddled together and shivered in the cold wind, breathing out from time to time. The little beggar even used his skinny body, which was only skin and bones left, to protect his younger brother and kept comforting him.

Afraid that the two would freeze to death at the door of Gu's house and bring trouble to Miss Gu, Wei Wu picked them up and threw them into the carriage.

At that time, the only remaining moonlight in the sky had dimmed. Wei Wu only smelled blood in the air but did not see any bloodstains on the ground. There was Xier's terrified scream this morning.

He glanced at the little girl with guilt in his eyes, then apologized to Gu Qinghe, "I'm sorry, I failed in my duty."

Gu Qinghe shook his head gently and said "It's okay", then comforted Xier, "Little brother is injured, Xier, don't be afraid."

Aunt Gu also saw the hideous wounds and blood on the little beggar's hands. She looked at Gu Qinghe worriedly, asking her what to do. Not knowing whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, Aunt Gu couldn't take the person back without permission.

Gu Qinghe didn't know how the little beggar found her. Suddenly, she remembered what Fanfan said when she met him in the town the day before yesterday. There would be some minor setbacks but it would not affect the overall situation. She began to understand a little.

The little beggar was there regarding the pawnbroker's account book, and thought that his presence might be related to the pawnbroker. She waved and called him over, asking him if he had encountered any trouble because of the pawnbroker.

The little beggar pursed his lips and shook his head, mumbling and looking earnestly. It was the first time that Gu Qinghe saw this sneaky kid begging like this, and was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with you?"

She asked softly, worried that she had forced him to go to the dental clinic and ended his livelihood.

The words of pleading were always difficult to utter. The little beggar was afraid of her superior and cold look. He was also worried that she did not have the power to save her sister and would harm her instead.

Cao'er didn't have as many concerns as he did. Maybe it was because of his illness, or maybe it was just some strange intuition. He knelt down in the direction of Gu Qinghe and kowtowed, "Wolf, Sister Wolf, please save, save my sister..."

He and Hua'er had always been well protected by the little beggar, and seldom knelt to beg, because the little beggar would not allow it. But he had been used to seeing his brother's bent knees since he was a child, and he understood everything he should understand, but he could not express it verbally, and his actions were always slow, so they all thought he was a fool.

When he heard his brother on the way say that the brother holding the dog was actually his sister and that the gray-haired puppy was a wolf cub, he became impulsive.

He didn't have as strong a sense of morality as the little beggar, and he had never been taught by his parents. As long as he could remember, his world was gray, with only his brother and sister being a ray of light in the muddy and dirty streets.

For them, he was willing to do anything and didn't care about anything. It didn't matter if it was against his brother's moral principles, taking advantage of the kindness of the woman in front of him, or asking him to go back and kill the shopkeeper Wang, as long as he could achieve his original goal.

Gu Qinghe was startled by the child's sudden movement. She bent down to help subconsciously because she had difficulty moving. However, Chang'an reached out to stop her and pulled the child up for her.

Chang'an had a hard time pulling a boy who was four or five years older than him with his small body, and his whole face turned red. Xier whispered softly in Aunt Gu's arms that she wanted to come down and help her brother.

The little beggar was also startled by the sudden liveliness of Cao'er. He hurriedly pulled Cao'er up and knelt down, prostrating himself and apologizing: "Miss, I am ignorant, I hope you won't mind it."

Born at the bottom of the dynasty, it was the first time he met the royal nobles of Yandu, and also the first time he met the vassal kings of this land.

He has been able to read people's expressions since he was a child. When he saw the prince protecting the woman in front of him in the government office yesterday, he knew that this woman who dared to travel alone disguised as a man must be unusual.

At least she's not a country girl like she appears to be.

A man's knees are made of gold, but he doesn't want his younger brother to kneel down whenever he meets someone.

At this moment, Cao'er understood his brother's thoughts, and he half-supported himself on his knees to accompany him.

Gu Qinghe felt helpless when she saw this. After all, she was just a commoner woman, so how could she be a rich lady?

She leaned over and let the two men stand up.

The little beggar signaled to his brother to stand up, while he himself remained kneeling on the ground. There was no reason for him to stand up since he had something to ask for.

Cao'er followed without moving after hearing that.

Changan wanted to pull this and that, but the problem was that he couldn't pull it up. He puffed up his face and said angrily: "My aunt doesn't like you kneeling, get up!"

After Wei Wu pulled the two of them up, Gu Qinghe looked at Cao'er and said, "You just asked me to save your sister, what's going on?"

Unlike the little beggar's hesitation, Cao'er told him what happened in the pawnshop yesterday and the bad things that Haoshi Restaurant was going to do. At the end, she did not forget to emphasize that the owner Wang of Haoshi Restaurant was not just making money, but was also targeting her and Qianlai Restaurant.

He tried his best to make his provocation less obvious, but after all, he was only a child in his teens, and there was no way he could escape the clutches of the experienced little adult.

Gu Qinghe looked at the little beggar thoughtfully and said, "Can you really smell the ingredients and methods of food through smell?"

"Yes." Seeing that she did not explicitly refuse, the little beggar nodded without hesitation and said, "Miss, if you need anything, I can do something for you, as long as you can rescue my sister."

Gu Qinghe was surprised by his special skill, took a deep breath and said, "Is this why you deliberately fell in front of me the day before yesterday and sniffed around Qian Lai's door yesterday?"

The little beggar lowered his head in shame: "Yeah."

A few days ago, his sister and brother were forcibly taken away by people from a pawnbroker. He was left with nowhere else to go and went to Qianlai Restaurant to try his luck, hoping he could meet someone of noble character who could give him some money to redeem his brother and sister. By chance, he ran into Manager Wang from Haoshi Restaurant, who was inquiring about the business and dishes of Qianlai Restaurant.

He has been sensitive to smells since he was a child. When Qianlai Restaurant launched a new dish, he had been hungry for a long time and could not help but read out the ingredients of the dish one by one following the aroma. The shopkeeper Wang who was hiding nearby heard it and then made a deal.

He worked hard for Manager Wang to spy on the dishes at Qianlai Restaurant, and Manager Wang gave him silver.

When he met Gu Qinghe the day before yesterday, he smelled a sweet scent on her and thought that Qianlai Restaurant had introduced new dishes. Because he hadn't yet figured out the source of the sweet ingredients in the scent, he pretended to fall down and got closer to her, wanting to smell it carefully.

After smelling the flavor of maltose, he immediately stopped pestering and went back to tell Manager Wang all the ingredients in the tiger whisker pastry, but the chef of Haoshi Restaurant couldn't make it at all.

He couldn't get the money, so he had to go again the next day to spy, but he was caught by her before he could smell enough.
