After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

"The last chapter said that Prince Qi, who volunteered to guard the border, passed by Taocheng just when bandits were causing chaos. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. The local people dared not light a lamp, and the children in confinement dared not make a sound. They cried out to the sky and the earth, but no one answered. At this time, Prince Qi suddenly appeared, with only 15 personal guards, and challenged the bandits to fight in front of Wenshui Mountain."

As the storyteller struck the gavel, the guests in the hall applauded and cheered, including Liu Qingquan. After Wan Ning's last disturbance, Furonglou no longer told the "rumored secrets" of Prince Qi and Concubine Lan, but began to tell the story of Prince Qi's departure from Nanye to Beiqi. In the story, Prince Qi was invincible and compassionate to the world, which was very admirable.

Liu Qingquan sat there listening fascinatedly, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the storyteller. Wan Ning's progress was also smooth. Taking advantage of the friendship of delivering food, she knocked on the door of the family behind Furong Building. There was only a grandmother and her granddaughter Xiaoyou at home. Seeing that Wan Ning was a pitiful little girl, they took her in for a night.

"Sister, it's cold, have some tea!" Xiaoyou, the granddaughter, brought hot tea to Wan Ning. She happened to see Wan Ning sneaking around the room looking for a suitable place to secretly observe the Furong Building behind her. She stood there in confusion and asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Wan Ning turned around awkwardly, her expression dull, and she stiffly did radio gymnastics, forcing herself to explain with words she believed: "I... I'm doing gymnastics. It's good for my body to move around. I'm exercising when I have nothing to do."

Wan Ning walked up to Xiao You and found that her expression was still full of doubt and suspicion, so she lost her temper and asked, "Don't you believe it? It doesn't matter, I don't believe it either." Then, without waiting for Xiao You to answer, she looked behind her and made sure that there was no one around before pulling Xiao You into the room.

"Where did this person come from? Why is he so strange? My grandma took in a fool?" Xiaoyou thought the person in front of him was very strange, but didn't say much. He still stared at Wan Ning with his innocent and naive big eyes.

"Hey, Xiaoyou, let me tell you the truth. I came to your house on purpose."

"Grandma!" Xiaoyou screamed before Wan Ning could finish her words. Wan Ning covered her mouth in panic.

"Don't shout yet, just listen to what I have to say, okay?" Seeing Xiaoyou nodded, Wan Ning pretended to cry and said, "Actually, I have a cousin who I'm in love with. We used to get along very well, but recently he always doesn't want to talk to me. I heard that he fell in love with the lady from Furong Tower and changed his mind. He likes to run here whenever he has something to do. I came here to stop him. It would be bad if he found me outside. He would definitely say that I'm suspicious and throw dirty water on me. You are the closest to Furong Tower, so I thought I would try my luck and hide here to wait for him."

Wan Ning's acting skills exploded, and the two tears she shed looked even more pitiful and touching. She freed one hand to wipe her tears and continued, "If I could see Furong Tower from your house, I would be lucky. Now that I can see it, I can't observe any movement in Furong Tower even from such a close distance. It's my bad luck. I'm sorry, Miss Xiaoyou, I won't disturb you."

After saying this, Wan Ning let go of Xiao You's hand with tears in her eyes, and slowly turned around regardless of Xiao You's shocked expression.

"Grandma--Grandma--", Xiaoyou behind her suddenly called out loudly for her grandma. Wan Ning was shocked, thinking that maybe her lie did not fool the little girl in front of her, so she prepared to run away.

"Why are you yelling so late at night? Are you trying to call for souls?" The grandmother, who was busy in the kitchen, became very annoyed when she heard her granddaughter's yelling and responded in the same rude way.

"I'm taking my sister to my second uncle's roof to watch the stars. We'll be back soon." Without waiting for grandma to respond, Xiaoyou pulled Wan Ning and ran out.

Grandma didn't even raise her head. She was busy with her work and muttered: "Why are you looking at stars in such a cold weather? You just think whatever you want. I think you look like a star." Although the words were unpleasant, she didn't stop them and continued to boil water in the kitchen for them to wash up later.

Xiaoyou's second uncle's house is nearby. Although the angle is not as good as Xiaoyou's house, there is a platform on the roof and a ladder in the yard that can be climbed up, and the eaves can provide a certain degree of blocking.

"Sister, if you had told me earlier I would have brought you here. Sometimes I get too bored and I like to stay here and count how many people pass by in a day. But sister, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. It's too cold today."

"Thank you, my dear sister. I'll wait a little longer and try my luck. The weather is too cold, so you should go back first." Wan Ning looked around. It was cold and dark, and it certainly didn't look like anyone was walking around.

"Then I'll stay with you for a while." Xiaoyou imitated her and focused his eyes on Furong Building, gossiping: "Sister, since you already doubt your cousin, why don't you just leave? Why suffer like this? Are you reluctant to leave him?"

Wan Ning's attention was elsewhere. She listened to the words and answered randomly, "Who wouldn't want to part with him? Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, and catch the adulterer in bed."

The back door of Furong Building was tightly closed. The two lanterns hanging on the pillars in front of the door swayed left and right in the cold wind, emitting only a faint light. Suddenly, the door opened a crack, and a beam of light fell on the ground but quickly went out. Then a dark figure squeezed out from the crack. This person was wearing a cloak that covered most of her face, but her figure looked tall and thin. As soon as she came out, she extinguished the lantern in her hand and placed it at the foot of the pillar, then hurriedly walked into the darkness.

Wan Ning's heart immediately rose to her throat. She remembered the direction she left and quickly stood up to catch up. As she walked, she told Xiaoyou beside her: "We've arrived. This is my lover's mistress. I'm going to catch them right away. Xiaoyou, you go back first and tell grandma that I'm going home first. Thank her for her kindness." After that, she hurriedly followed the direction of the person and disappeared into the darkness.

Wan Ning followed the man at a distance that was neither too far nor too close. After walking for nearly 2 hours, the surrounding area became more and more remote, and Wan Ning became thirsty.

She hid aside, panting heavily, and complained in her heart: "Who is so good that he can walk so far at night? Who would have made an appointment in this godforsaken place? No, if we go any further, we will be out of the city, and this seems to be the territory of King Qi. He will go on a long journey tomorrow morning, is that possible?"

At this moment, the man suddenly stopped at the gate of a yard, and soon someone opened the door and took her in. Wan Ning's head suddenly became hot. She had finally followed him here, so she wanted to go and take a look.

So she ran to the other side and climbed over the wall.

"Is it still the one facing south?" a familiar voice came from the room.

Wan Ning was anxious and afraid of being discovered, so she quickly hid in a dark room.

"Yes, ma'am. But I didn't say I would come today, ma'am..." The two voices came from far away and appeared at the door of the room in a blink of an eye.

Wan Ning in the room was so anxious that she was running around in a panic and hid under the bed in a panic.

"You have no right to be so nosy! I'll be waiting for you here today, so go out now." The man said impatiently, and drove the others away. Then he opened the door from the outside, and the candlelight shone into the room. Wan Ning, who was under the bed, was shocked to see the face under the cloak.

"It's actually her!"
