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

Tick-tick-tick-

The splashing water splashed on her face, and the sleeping Wan Ning slowly woke up. She rubbed her eyes and opened them. It was already dark, and the crescent moon hanging on the treetops in the sky was blurry.

"How come I slept for so long? Wan Tao should be worried."

Tick-tock - a strange sound was heard again in a corner of the hot spring pool. Wan Ning was puzzled and went forward to check. She was concentrating and couldn't see anything in the dark. She felt uneasy. Suddenly, water splashed and splashed on her face. Wan Ning was so angry that she hung her fist above the water and shouted, "Who is it? An honest person doesn't do shady things."

"I'm not a celebrity, I'm the host, this is my home. Who are you?"

Wan Ning felt guilty now, so she immediately shut up and sneaked away, muttering, "No offense, no offense!"

"The girl just left like that?"

"Let's go," Wan Ning picked up the clothes on the shore and put them on randomly. Her fingers made mistakes while tying the clothes. She just put on her underwear and picked up her outer shirt and was about to leave. As she walked, she accidentally stepped on the clothes and lost her balance, and her whole body fell backwards. Her hands flew in the air, trying to grab a life-saving straw.

Suddenly, Wan Ning seemed to grab something and held it tightly, and then someone held her from behind. Surprised, Wan Ning turned around and saw that it was a man who saved her. Although the light was not good and she couldn't see his face, his outline was clear, with star-shaped eyebrows, sharp eyes, a dignified demeanor, and a high nose bridge.

The moment she touched it, she felt a familiar feeling and her heart was pounding. She was afraid that if she continued to watch, she would do something out of line, and most importantly, her identity would be exposed. What should she do if the owner asked her for the cleaning fee of the hot spring?

So he thanked him with ill intention, pushed him away, turned around and ran out over the wall.

After she left, a strong man hurried over and asked, "Your Majesty, I'm late. Should I go after her?"

"Lisong, you forgot that I am no longer the emperor. From now on, just call me Ziheng."

"Yes, Master Ziheng. The gangster?"

Ziheng smiled calmly, turned around and said, "There are no criminals, just a lost little girl. This house has been empty for more than a year, so it is inevitable that there are some lost little deer. This time I came to the inner city for a mission, so let's put other trivial matters aside for now."

"Yes."

Wan Ning climbed over the wall and put on her clothes. The criminals who had been waiting here during the day had already left. Wan Ning sneaked to the main gate of the house. There was a thick plaque hanging above the gate, but there was no words on the plaque.

Wan Ning pursed her lips and commented: "What a weird place!"

Looking to the left, she saw another huge stone. Looking forward, she saw a few words engraved on it. Wan Ning looked carefully again and again, but she only recognized the middle one of the three words: Wan.

"What a coincidence, you have the same name as me, it can be considered a kind of fate!"

After a hasty farewell, Wan Ning walked for a long time under the stars before returning to her home. The lights were still on and Wan Tao was standing at the door looking out. Wan Ning waved and ran towards her: "Tao'er, I'm back, Tao'er."

Hearing the princess' voice, Wan Tao was overjoyed and ran towards her to greet her.

The two hugged each other excitedly, and Wan Ning cried, "Tao'er, I was scared. You don't know how scary today is."

Wan Tao took her around for a few rounds and checked that she was fine. Only then did she feel relieved: "I know, I heard everything."

"Who told you that? Weren't you at home today? Did you also go to the market and run into those criminals?"

"without……"

"Xiao Wan is back, come in and have dinner." When I looked up, Mu Xun was coming out of the kitchen, holding carrot soup in his hand, smiling and looking harmless.

But Wan Ning's mind kept on seeing how decisive he was today, and she subconsciously took a step back.

"I... have eaten." Wan Ning found an excuse not to contact him, but then her stomach started to growl.

Mu Xun tilted his head, watching the fun, and teased, "It looks like Xiao Wan is hungry again. Go wash your hands and have a midnight snack."

"Why does he act like nothing happened? Is he a second personality or is there someone who looks just like him? If you have the guts, poison me to death and kill me to silence me! If you can't poison me to death, I will tear off your mask." After saying that, he pulled Wan Tao up by her skirt and swaggered into the living room.

As soon as I walked in, I saw that the living room had been completely renovated and had been equipped with many new things. Now it finally looked like a proper home. Mu Xun was wearing an apron and standing in front of the new dining table, pouring soup into a bowl: "The soup is freshly cooked, come and try it. I was delayed for a while today, and when I passed by the market, someone happened to be selling pork, so I bought a few pounds to make soup."

Seeing that she was standing still, he smiled and said, "There is no poison in this soup, try it."

This smile made Wan Ning's back numb. She had no choice but to step forward, pick up the bowl and take a sip. After not eating meat for half a month, this soup was indeed delicious. She gave him a thumbs up and said, "It's delicious."

"Come on, try this dish again. We were lucky today. We saw some rabbits that had just been shot by hunters, so we brought one back to roast. But unfortunately, one of them ran away." Mu Xun held up the rabbit meat and handed it to her, deliberately staring into her eyes.

This smile seemed to imply that she was the little rabbit that ran away, threatening her not to say anything. Wan Ning would not be threatened. She stared at Mu Xun's eyes and smiled provocatively, supporting herself on the table with both hands and taking the piece of rabbit meat with her mouth.

After chewing it twice, he said, "It's delicious. Mu Xun is really good at this. The rabbit meat tastes good."

"Oh~ Oh~, my poor granddaughter, please come back!" The intermittent wails of an old woman were heard outside the house.

Wan Ning and others turned around together, looking for the source of the sound.

"It looks like Grandma Wang from the backyard. Why is she crying now?" Wan Tao asked.

"Grandma Wang? She seems to be crying for her granddaughter. Let's go and have a look, don't let anything happen!" Wan Ning found an excuse to leave the table. The elderly Grandma Wang was sitting on the ground at the door of her house, not caring about the mud and dust on the ground, crying with snot and tears: "My poor granddaughter, where have you been? It's all my fault. I gave birth to a bad boy. Where did that bastard sell you?"

"Grandma, what happened to you?" Wan Ning was kind-hearted and hurried to help Grandma Wang. Grandma Wang seemed to have seen her savior and held on to her tightly, refusing to let go.

She continued to cry, "It's you kind girl, my granddaughter is missing, she disappeared when I came back."

"Miss Yu'er? Wasn't she here this morning? When I went out, I saw her washing clothes by the river." Wan Tao asked.

After hearing this, the old lady waved her hands and shook her head: "No...no...no, my good granddaughter Yu'er was just taken away by her father and sold to a brothel. I tried to stop him, but I couldn't. He pushed me to the ground with one punch. I, an old woman, couldn't stop him, my poor Yu'er."

"Po, which brothel did you sell?"

"Haruhoin in the market."
