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

During Xiang Wanxuan's vacation, two things happened in Nanye City that became the topic of conversation among the people. The first was that the late emperor's close confidant and important minister, Lord Fu, returned to Nanye with his son Fu Yuanlang.

Since Fu Yuanlang had a "Petition" and was unwilling to give up filial piety for the sake of being an official, he took his whole family in. It was obvious that it was the work of Prince Qi. On the day of returning to Nanye, Prince Qi personally went outside the city to dismount and greet him, giving Fu Lao enough face.

The second thing was about Prime Minister Du's family. The whole Nanye was rumored that Prime Minister Du's daughter had been found and was now taken back to the Du Mansion by her father and was under strict supervision. The rumors about Miss Du were getting more and more intense. Some said that the good Miss Du was now crazy; some said that Miss Du was abandoned by an unfaithful man and sold to a brothel in another place; some said that the current Miss Du was a fake, and the real Miss Du had died a long time ago. Now this fake was a substitute specially found by Lord Du for the selection after the New Year. Mo Aiyi was one of them.

Originally, Wan Ning had a limited impression of Du Ruo, and only knew that she was a spoiled and timid young lady who was raised in seclusion. When these rumors spread into the palace, Wan Ning only felt that the rumors were disgusting, and her reaction was much greater than when she was rumored. She also became curious about Du Ruo, and an idea came to her mind: go see her in person!

Whenever this thought spread in her mind, the image of her being the center of attention in the hunting ground would appear in Wan Ning's mind. Although she didn't know the truth now, she would inevitably feel the arrogance of a superior if she rashly visited him, so she gave up the idea. She might as well rest in the palace first and discuss with Mu Xiu what to do next before returning home.

Things took a turn for the better until Shuiyue brought back the news that Liu Xueyu's case was about to be sentenced. At such an important time, Wan Ning finally decided to go out for a walk. Intentionally keeping a low profile, she changed into a coarse linen dress when she left the palace, and all her hair was combed high to the top of her head and tied into a bun. She only brought Wan Tao with her. After leaving the palace, she first found an inn, went up to the second floor, found a seat by the window facing the street, and ordered a pot of tea to drink while observing all kinds of people on the road.

When she left the palace again this time, she clearly felt the change in the atmosphere in Nanye City. It seemed that everyone was praising Fu Yuanlang's impartiality and praising Wang Ji's bravery. One was a nameless rural official a few days ago, and the other was a low-ranking official who was excluded by the party. Now they have suddenly become popular figures in Nanye. As long as the trial of this case is relatively fair, or makes them feel happy, these two people will be established in the hearts of the people of Nanye. When the emperor promotes them, it will not only be more legitimate, but also let the people of Nanye participate in it. Naturally, the people of the emperor will not be able to say anything.

"Ziheng, ah Ziheng, you are worthy of being me." Wan Ning thought silently in her heart, and subconsciously picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of tea.

"Miss, look," Wan Tao gently touched Wan Ning's arm, motioning her to look downstairs.

Several people who looked like servants were holding lanterns with the word "Du" written on them. A few people behind them were holding a few packages in their hands. They walked hurriedly downstairs with serious expressions and without saying a word.

"The one that sticks its head out gets shot, so naturally their lives won't be easy." Wan Ning murmured.

"Will the Du family be brought down this time?" Wan Tao asked in a low voice.

Wan Ning shook her head: "Not enough, but at least it can weaken them and support my own strength." After a pause, Wan Ning raised her cup and clinked it with the cup in front of Wan Tao, smiling to herself, "Respect Ziheng!"

But before the cup was brought to her lips, Wan Ning happened to see an old acquaintance downstairs, sneaking behind and observing the Du family servants. She immediately took out the money from her pocket and put it on the table, then pulled Wan Tao downstairs quickly to stop the man.

"Oh, an acquaintance! Are you out here today also on the orders of your third sister?" Wan Ning stood on the steps, looking at the disturbed young man in front of her, her eyes quickly changing from astonishment of being interrupted to joy.

"Young man, long time no see. Young man, you have a good eye. Young man, are you really not going to kidnap my third sister? If it doesn't work, I can pay you. If you go on like this, I will be tortured by my third sister and I really can't survive." The man who came was Liu Qingyu's younger brother Liu Qingquan. He was still as smart and cunning as ever. He couldn't help complaining when he saw Wan Ning.

Wan Ning gently tapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Not planning on it for now."

"Then I'd better leave now. Offending the princess is a small matter. If I lose her and go back, I don't know how I'll be punished." As Liu Qingquan said this, he pretended to leave, but was stopped by Wan Ning.

"Wait, I didn't say I wouldn't help you!"

The boy's eyes brightened instantly, and he asked, "Are you willing to kidnap my third sister?"

"I'm willing to follow you, how about this plan?" The two of them bargained.

Liu Qingquan thought about it and answered immediately: "Of course it is feasible, but if you lose your third sister and blame me, I hope you can help me, Princess." After saying this, he showed a naughty smile of a child who had succeeded.

"make a deal!"

After the conversation, the few people found that the Du family servant that Liu Qingquan was following had already disappeared, so they hurriedly looked around. Seeing this, Wan Tao also looked for him, thinking of going back to Liushang to investigate from a high place. But she was stopped by Liu Qingquan, who had a sly smile on his face and looked confident.

"Don't worry, sister. I've followed them several times and I know where they are!" Then he took the two of them directly to a forest outside the city. The forest looked no different from the outside, but the surroundings were extremely quiet and there were not even any birds spending the winter, let alone any human beings who might be here.

Although they were doubtful, seeing Liu Qingquan's confident look, Wan Ning and Wan Tao still followed him patiently through the woods, and finally stopped at a small stream. This was a not very wide stream, but it separated the north and south banks. On the bank where they were, there were all withered annual herbaceous plants, but on the other bank, there were tall and majestic shrubs, with branches crisscrossing like a huge natural screen, forming a natural shield.

Suddenly, Liu Qingquan squatted down quickly, and did not forget to pull Wan Ning and Wan Tao's clothes, indicating that they should squat down and hide behind the plants. Soon, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps and chattering from the other side. Unfortunately, the distance was still a bit far, and I couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. Fortunately, these people did not stay too long and left quickly after unloading their things.

"You can get up now." Liu Qingquan stood up first, and after making sure that the other party had left, he helped Wan Ning and Wan Tao up. Then he said proudly, "I guessed that they would come here. I came here with them once a few days ago, and they came again just a few days later."

"Do you know what's on the other side?" Wan Ning patted the weeds on her body and tried to look towards the other side, but everything was blurry and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Liu Qingquan touched his head in embarrassment and explained foolishly: "I did go to see it after the people from the Du Mansion left. There is a private house inside, but I didn't go in because I saw someone guarding it from a distance, so I don't know the situation inside the house."

Seeing that Wan Ning didn't say anything, Liu Qingquan added: "But I guess it must be related to Miss Du's family!"
