"No one told me. I couldn't say it, and I didn't have the courage to question my parents."

Li Man was very depressed. "Knowing that you were back, I hesitated for a long time before asking you out today. I really can't hold on any longer. I... I don't know who to talk to about this..."

"Okay, stop crying. Just pretend you don't know anything about this. Just do whatever needs to be done next. I'll find out what's going on."

Nan Mo's firm tone made Li Man's wandering heart seem to have found a place to settle. Her eyes were red. "Then...then...should I still marry into Anyang Marquis's Mansion?"

After this period of psychological torture, Li Man is really at a loss. The simple and brave girl of the past has been worn away.

"Has the wedding date been set?"

"At the end of next month."

Nan Mo's eyes darkened for a moment, then she smiled softly, "There is still room for maneuver. If you don't want to get married, then don't get married."

"Then my parents...they..."

"Don't be afraid. When you go back, just follow their arrangements as usual. Leave the rest to me. Can you trust me?"

Facing Nan Mo's rock-solid expression, Li Man nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, "Believe... Believe... I believe... I only believe in you."

“It’s not a big deal if the sky doesn’t fall. Even if it does, there are still tall people to hold it up. You have to know that even if you don’t have any relatives in this world, you still have yourself and me.

I am a very selective person. If you want to continue to be my friend, then don’t let petty love trip you up, and don’t let the moral kidnapping of family affection bind you.”

Nan Mo paused and looked at Li Man with her pure eyes. "Have you forgotten that you want to be a heroine? How can a heroine cry like you?"

"I...I...can I still be a heroine?"

"can."

"Really?"

"Really, if I say I can, I can."

Li Man took a deep breath. Nan Mo's decisive words made her feel more confident, or perhaps suddenly enlightened.

She finally smiled, but her face was still covered with tears. However, her voice was much more relaxed than before. "Nan Mo, it's nice to meet you."

-

After leaving Huicui Tower, Nanmo did not go back to the General's Mansion directly, but went to Yingchun Tower.

Wen Xiang in the carriage had a pair of eyes filled with excitement, curiosity, and a hint of nervousness, "Girl...are we...are we really going to the brothel?"

"If you feel it's inappropriate, just..."

"No, no, no...I don't think it's wrong at all. I've wanted to take a look inside for a long time."

Wen Xiang's hurried explanation made Nan Mo laugh.

Wen Xiang continued, "I've heard that the girls in Yingchun Tower are all very special. Men flock to Yingchun Tower one after another. Recently, a group of particularly beautiful girls have arrived. It seems that the annual Oiran competition will be very exciting."

"The annual Oiran competition?"

"Well, it was held at the end of June in previous years. This year, because the organizer changed, it has been delayed until now."

Nan Mo nodded in understanding.

Then he slowly closed his eyes and talked to the dog.

"I remember that Yingchun Tower seems to be secretly taken over by the Imperial City Department now."

Gouzi: [Yingchunlou is a secret village where the Imperial City Department collects intelligence from all sides.]

"Who is in charge on the surface?"

[After Miss Lan Yue returned to Beijing from the Misty Rain Tower in Jiangnan, she has been staying in the Yingchun Tower and is now the head of the Yingchun Tower.]

Nan Mo thought for a moment and asked, "Find out all the information about the Li family and give it to me as soon as possible?"

[The master suspects that there is something wrong with the Li family? ]

"If it was just to raise a daughter to protect the biological daughter from disaster, it would be normal for these big families to have this happen. But this biological daughter suddenly came to the capital to compete for the title of the most beautiful woman in the brothel, and even wanted to use the relationship with the Anyang Marquis's Mansion to get close to the queen. This is enough to show that this woman is not simple."

[Master, this woman doesn't really want to marry Xiao Qianyue? She is deliberately using this title to hook up with the queen.]

“That’s my intuition.”

[Master, do you believe what Li Man said? ]

When Nan Mo heard Gou Zi's question, she did not answer.

Do you believe it?

From the moment she recognized her as a friend, she trusted what she said.

But it does not prevent us from getting to the bottom of this whole incident, just in case someone uses Li Man to deliberately spread wrong information.

The back door of Yingchun Tower.

When the carriage stopped at the back door, the coachman Gou Yi went to knock on the door. Just as the gatekeeper was about to scold him, Gou Yi secretly took out a special token belonging to the Imperial City Bureau.

The gatekeeper looked around vigilantly before letting the people and the carriage enter the backyard.

Then he said respectfully to the dog, "My lord, please tell me what I want to do for you."

The dog took a quick look at the backyard and said, "Let Miss Lanyue come to the backyard room to meet my master."

Hearing this, the gatekeeper became even more respectful.

He hurriedly asked his trusted servant to take the person to the side room, while he went to the front to look for the person himself.

When Lan Yue heard the gatekeeper say that the person coming here was holding a special token from the Imperial City Bureau, she looked serious and asked, "Did you see what the person looks like?"

The gatekeeper shook his head. "I didn't see the man in the carriage, but he has been taken to the wing room. But I saw that the driver was not an ordinary driver. He should be a secret guard."

Lan Yue asked the gatekeeper to step back and she went to the backyard room.

Along the way, I was wondering who the visitor was.

Normally, when Xiao Qianyue came, if there was nothing important, he would come openly and in a swaggering manner. If there was something important to arrange, he would go directly to the private room on the fourth floor in front in secret. They had never met in the backyard.

When Lan Yue entered the room and noticed Nan Mo sitting in the main seat in a white dress, she was surprised and quickly stepped forward to salute respectfully, "Lan Yue greets the young lady."

"Stand up and sit down. I just came here on a whim."

All Lan Yue knows about Nan Mo is that besides her mysterious abilities, she is also engaged to King You. In addition, both Xiao Qianyue and King You trust her very much, and Xiao Qianyue respects her very much.

As the Phantom of the Imperial City Division, she knew very well that she would never dare to neglect someone who was valued by both King You and the Imperial City Division.

After standing up, he stood respectfully below and did not sit down.

Nan Mo didn't say much about this.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip casually, her voice soft and calm, "Do you have a favorite oiran candidate?"

Although Lan Yue was confused, she answered truthfully, "There is indeed one person, who was sent from Yingchun Tower in Pingzhou."

"Pingzhou Yingchun Tower?"

Lan Yue nodded and said, "Pingzhou is close to the Dongyi Kingdom. There were many displaced children due to the war in the early years, and the Imperial City Department sent people to adopt these children.

Boys were sent to the training camp of the Imperial City Division, while girls were kept in Yingchun Tower to be trained from a young age. The outstanding ones were sent to various places to collect intelligence. "

At this time, Gou Zi sent a message to Nan Mo: [Master, it has been confirmed that the woman who came into contact with General Li and his wife was Furong, who was newly sent to Yingchun Tower.]

[This girl came from Pingzhou. I just checked the entire Yingchun Building. There are several girls sent from Pingzhou, but they are all led by Furong.]

Nan Mo tightened her grip on the teacup and replied to Gou Zi, "I remember collecting data on officials in the capital earlier and it showed that General Li seemed to have participated in the Pingzhou battle between Daxia and Dongyi many years ago."

【Indeed. 】

Nan Mo put down the teacup and looked at Lan Yue below with her phoenix eyes, her eyes were cold and cold, "Is the oiran you like called Furong?"
