After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor
Chapter 77 This is my cousin
Just like the plan in the morning, these tricks today not only cleared him of the suspicion of embezzlement, but also found the person who spread rumors and tripped him up behind the scenes.
But there is no accomplice in the palace, I am afraid it is difficult for Qingyu to send these things into the palace to set up this trap. A merchant's daughter actually dared to provoke the princess, and Boss Liu just confined her to her home. I don't know if this is a punishment or protection. It turns out that he loves this daughter the most.
When Wan Ning came out of the ruined temple, she had an unexpected reward. The mother-in-law who had been waiting at the door told her with difficulty that she had indeed made a mistake. The Liu Qingquan caught by Douzi was indeed not the suspicious man in gray that he was supposed to follow. That man seemed to be more concerned about Liu Xueyu's case. When she learned that the case was about to be taken back to Nanye for trial, she went to the government office to read all the notices before returning to the Du Mansion.
"Compared to other things, he is obviously more concerned about Sang Cheng's case. Could it be that the Du family is also involved in Liu Xueyu's case?"
At this moment, she said goodbye to her mother-in-law and Douzi and turned to go on her own. As the sun was setting in the west, the clouds turned red and hung low in the wilderness. It was rare to see such a view. It seemed that she was the only one in the world who could appreciate such a beautiful view. She felt inexplicably more relaxed and at ease. She stared at the sunset in fascination, and her steps back to the city unconsciously slowed down.
The sunset in early winter is beautiful, but it is fleeting. Before I walked far, it was dark. My mood of enjoying the beautiful scenery turned into anxiety and fear. I was always worried that someone would suddenly rush out from the surroundings. When I was scared, I would always think of some scary things, and even the sound of my footsteps would become a little scary.
The treetops behind her made strange noises due to the wind. She covered her ears and ran quickly with her head down, thinking about leaving here first. But she only looked down at the road and bumped into someone. She jumped aside in fright. Just as she was about to scold the blind man standing in the middle of the road, she was pulled into his arms in a trance.
After struggling, Wan Ning suddenly felt that this hug was so familiar. She looked up in disbelief, and then the faint light happened to meet Ziheng's eyes. She was overjoyed.
"How come you are here?" His tone was full of joy, as if this person was a god who always appeared in front of him inexplicably.
Ziheng helped her stand up and then took his hand back. He asked gently, "I just happened to meet Wantao on the road after finishing my business. She said you were here. It's so dark on this road. Why did you come here alone?"
"Didn't you come here alone?" Wan Ning asked, staring into his eyes. Yes, he came here alone. He personally went to inquire about Liu Xueyu's case today. On the way back to the palace, he learned that Wan Ning came here alone, so he came to find her. Ziheng couldn't answer this question. Suddenly he realized that he was still holding Wan Ning's arm, so he carefully let go. Then he took off his cloak and naturally gave it to Wan Ning.
After doing all this, he gentlemanly took her hand and gently placed it on his sleeve, letting her pull his clothes, and walked forward with her at a just right distance. Wan Ning followed his footsteps, step by step. They followed each other in silence, not daring to speak, until they saw the light in the city.
The two had a lot to say but remained silent until they saw the lights in the city.
"Ziheng, if I go back one day, you must be safe and happy." Wan Ning thought silently in her heart.
Wan Tao waited for a long time at the place where she had agreed to meet the princess. When she finally saw the princess, she went to greet her. At this time, she found that the emperor had followed her and retreated to the carriage. She quietly watched the emperor send her to the carriage and helped Wan Ning get on the carriage in a gentlemanly and gentle manner.
"Wontons and fresh meat patties!" the vendor's voice could be heard.
The night market was not over yet. Wan Ning looked at her stomach and then at the wonton stall. Finally, she turned her head to look at Ziheng and asked brightly, "Are you hungry?"
Before Ziheng could say anything to deny it, he nodded when he saw her expectant eyes. After getting a positive answer, Wan Ning immediately turned around and jumped off the carriage, hopping to Ziheng's side like a little deer, and took his arm and walked away: "Since you are hungry too, let's go have some midnight snack before going back."
"The wontons here are delicious, but it's not convenient to pack them, so I didn't bring them to you last time. You must not miss them this time." Wan Ning looked like a regular customer, trying her best to sell the wontons to Ziheng. Coincidentally, people who had seen the new emperor didn't understand, and Ziheng had to go out today like an ordinary rich family's young master, so there was no need to worry about causing any trouble.
Ziheng calmly let Wan Ning lead him to a table in the corner, and watched her skillfully order: "Boss, three wontons and three pancakes here."
"Boss, give us another serving of wontons." At the same time, a familiar voice came from another table. Wan Ning looked in the direction of the voice out of curiosity and saw her clear and beautiful eyes.
"It's you!"
"Sister, I finally see you again!" Gao Rulan jumped up from her seat like a little rabbit when she saw Wan Ning. She almost ran to Wan Ning and said coquettishly, "Sister, you finally came to play with me again. You are still so beautiful. Why didn't I see Brother Qi Muxiu today?"
"He's not very convenient today," Ziheng stared at her and replied.
"Can I sit here?" Gao Rulan pointed to the empty chair next to her and asked, but she sat down without waiting for an answer, and asked the boss to bring her wontons to this table. She looked innocent, as if all the vitality of the world fell on her alone.
Seeing that this strange woman was familiar with Wan Ning and they seemed to have a good relationship, he felt relieved. Under the dim light, he turned his face to Wan Ning, and Rulan was also secretly observing him. When their eyes moved and met, Rulan looked as pitiful as a little white rabbit, and then a beautiful dimple smile replaced it.
Rulan generously turned her gaze to Wantao and greeted her cheerfully, but eventually she made a detour and brought the topic to Ziheng: "Sister, the good-looking brother didn't come last time, and today I met another brother. This is the first time I've met this brother. I wonder what I should call him, Lan'er?"
Hearing this, Ziheng frowned slightly, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, without answering her question. Wan Ning saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and took the initiative to introduce: "This is my cousin, who just returned to Nanye recently. You can call him..."
