The ancestor is here, she is here with space

"It's me, Zheng Qianzhi." The soldier guarding the city looked at Zheng Qianzhi with a respectful expression on his face.

"Mr. Zheng, are you leaving the city?" the soldier looked at Zheng Qianzhi and asked.

Zheng Qianzhi nodded when he heard this, "Well, there are some things to deal with."

"What's in the carriage?" The soldier asked with some confusion, looking at the carriage.

Zheng Qianzhi frowned, knowing that Lin Congyun was no longer in the carriage, and answered, "There's nothing inside?"

Zheng Qianzhi's words stunned the soldiers guarding the city. Their eyes swept across Zheng Qianzhi's face, as if to confirm whether he was telling the truth.

Although Zheng Qianzhi was the governor's adopted son-in-law and not someone they could easily offend, their duties prevented them from letting go of any suspicious carriage.

The soldiers exchanged glances, and finally a leading soldier came out and said respectfully to Zheng Qianzhi: "Mr. Zheng, according to the rules, we need to search the carriage."

Zheng Qianzhi's face froze, but he pretended to be calm on the surface and responded with a smile: "Okay, then you can search."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and began to search the carriage.

Zheng Qianzhi's heart was in his throat. He nervously watched the soldiers' movements, afraid that they would discover something.

Just then, a voice came from behind: "What are you doing?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a small figure walking towards them. It was none other than Huo Wan'er.

Huo Wan'er walked in and saw Zheng Qianzhi there. A hint of doubt flashed across her eyes, which then turned into dissatisfaction and questioning: "Zheng Qianzhi, it's so late, what are you doing here in a carriage?"

Zheng Qianzhi's heart tightened. He didn't expect that Huo Wan'er would come to the city gate so late. What was she doing here?

And Huo Wan'er was not so easy to fool. He hurriedly explained, "Madam, I heard from others that you can catch fireflies at night, so I thought of catching some and bringing them back for you as a surprise."

When Zheng Qianzhi said this, a gentle smile appeared on his face, as if he really was a good husband who tried his best to make his wife happy.

Huo Wan'er's expression relaxed slightly when she heard this, but then she frowned again, "Then why are you so panicked?"

Zheng Qianzhi's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Huo Wan'er might notice something, so he quickly explained, "I'm not panicking at all. I'm just anxious to go back and catch fireflies for you."

Huo Wan'er looked at Zheng Qianzhi with disbelief on her face, "Catching fireflies?"

"Yes, yes." Zheng Qianzhi answered with gritted teeth.

Huo Wan'er looked at Zheng Qianzhi, her eyes revealing scrutiny and suspicion.

She didn't completely believe Zheng Qianzhi's explanation, but she also had no evidence to prove that Zheng Qianzhi was lying.

At this moment, the soldier who was searching the carriage came over and saluted Huo Wan'er, "Miss, the carriage has been searched, and there is nothing."

Nothing at all?

Huo Wan'er was a little bit unconvinced, so she walked to the side of the carriage herself, reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage, and saw that there was indeed nothing inside, only then did she feel relieved.

Zheng Qianzhi looked at Huo Wan'er and secretly felt fortunate that Lin Congyun had the treasure with him, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain it.

"My wife, shall your husband go out of the city to catch fireflies for you?" Zheng Qianzhi looked flattering again.

"What are you arresting? Go back quickly so late. No one can leave the city without my father's order!" Huo Wan'er glared at Zheng Qianzhi, then turned and gave orders to the soldiers guarding the city.

"Yes, miss." The soldiers responded in unison.

Zheng Qianzhi secretly groaned in his heart, but dared not show it on the surface. He could only agree with a wry smile.

Huo Wan'er glared at Zheng Qianzhi again before turning and leaving.

Zheng Qianzhi looked at Huo Wan'er's back and felt relieved, but then felt helpless.

He originally planned to send Lin Congyun out of the city, but he didn't expect to meet Huo Wan'er. Now that his plan was disrupted, he could only find another way.

Zheng Qianzhi drove the carriage back to the mansion. After parking the carriage, he looked around to make sure that no one noticed his movements before climbing into the carriage.

He called quietly from inside the carriage: "Madam, are you there?"

Lin Congyun came out directly from the space. Facing the sudden appearance of Lin Congyun, Zheng Qianzhi subconsciously leaned back.

Although he already knew that Lin Congyun had a treasure in his hands, Zheng Qianzhi would still be frightened by Lin Congyun's sudden appearance.

"I...we're back." Zheng Qianzhi looked at Lin Congyun and said with some stammering, "Well...it looks like we can't get out of the city gate tonight..."

Zheng Qianzhi was a little annoyed that he was not this nervous when facing Huo Wan'er just now. He was really afraid of this old lady.

Lin Congyun frowned. He had just heard the conversation between Zheng Qianzhi and Huo Wan'er in the space. He didn't expect that Huo Wan'er would come at such a coincidence.

"I understand." Lin Congyun said calmly, "We'll talk about it tomorrow morning."

Zheng Qianzhi looked a little anxious after hearing this, "Madam, it will not be possible to leave the city tomorrow."

Lin Congyun glanced at him and didn't say anything else. He disappeared from the carriage and returned to the space.

Zheng Qianzhi looked at the empty carriage and was secretly shocked. This old lady was really mysterious.

He didn't dare to stay any longer for fear of being discovered, so he hurriedly got off the carriage and returned to his room.

The next day, Huo Wan'er came before dawn.

"Zheng Qianzhi, get up quickly!"

Huo Wan'er's voice sounded outside the door. Zheng Qianzhi opened his eyes drowsily, looked at the sky outside the window, and felt helpless.

Why is Huo Wan'er here so early?

Although Zheng Qianzhi was puzzled, he did not dare to neglect it. He quickly got up and opened the door. "Madam, why are you here so early?"

Huo Wan'er looked at Zheng Qianzhi, with no expression on her face, "My father wants to see you."

Zheng Qianzhi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that what happened last night was discovered?

This shouldn't be the case. The soldiers who searched last night found nothing, and Huo Wan'er also opened it and looked at it. So why did they call him over so early?

Zheng Qianzhi was secretly confused, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface. He could only bite the bullet and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Huo Wan'er looked at Zheng Qianzhi without saying a word, then turned and walked towards Huo Xiongcai's yard.

Zheng Qianzhi looked at Huo Wan'er's back and groaned inwardly, but he had no choice but to follow.

Huo Xiongcai had also stood up at this time and was practicing boxing in the yard.

Zheng Qianzhi walked into the yard and looked at Huo Xiongcai's back, feeling uneasy.

"Father-in-law." Zheng Qianzhi shouted with gritted teeth.

Huo Xiongcai stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Zheng Qianzhi, his face expressionless. "Zheng Qianzhi, what did you do last night?"
