After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

"Sister Ke, I haven't taken a serious look at Nanshao City yet. It's a good time to go for a horseback ride. You can take them there first." Wen Zhimiao waved to Wen Ke.

Wen Ke just felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.

But the clerk over there had already come over with a horse.

Wen Zhimiao asked Shi Wanyue to get on the horse first. Shi Wanyue asked her puzzledly, "Why?"

"No reason." Wen Zhimiao did not explain and urged Master Wanyue to mount the horse.

Wen Ke saw Shi Wanyue frowning slightly, but still got on the horse.

Afterwards, Wen Zhimiao also got on the horse and directly reached out to hug Shi Wanyue, looking sticky.

Now it was Wen Ke who frowned.

Duan Jiling watched Wen Zhimiao riding away from inside the carriage and asked Bian Ruitong softly, "Why did Miaomiao look for Master Ji?"

Bian Ruitong scratched her head, not knowing how to answer for a moment. Qi Linglang, who heard her question, explained to Duan Jiling: "Miaomiao likes to ride horses, but it is not allowed in the city. But Miaomiao sometimes can't help it, so she will ask someone to accompany her. Shushu and I are not good at riding, Tongtong..."

"Tongtong can't stop Miaomiao."

After listening to Qi Linglang's explanation, Wen Ke snorted in his heart. What does Wen Zhimiao think of Wanyue? Does he have to clean up her mess every day?

But she still looked gentle: "Since they left first, let's go over there too."

Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu nodded slightly to her.

After Zheng Shu got on the carriage, he looked at Qi Linglang and blinked at her, seeming curious about why Qi Linglang said that.

Qi Linglang simply picked up a fruit from the fruit plate and fed it to her.

Zheng Shu felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't look at Qi Linglang again.

Bian Ruitong scratched his head. Although he was curious, he didn't say anything.

After all, Wen Zhimiao had told him not to speak if he didn’t understand and not to ask anything.

On the other side, Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue had already ridden away on horseback. When they could no longer see the carriage, the horses slowed down.

Wen Zhimiao hugged Shi Wanyue and rubbed her clingingly: "Thank you for the clothes, sister. I like them very much."

Shi Wanyue curled her lips slightly, but still gently pushed her with her elbow: "It's hot, don't hug me."

"No, I want it." Wen Zhimiao continued to hug Shi Wanyue in a naughty manner.

Shi Wanyue chuckled and said nothing more: "Why don't you take the carriage with your Lingling?"

"It's not my Lingling, it's the current head of the Duan family." Wen Zhimiao did not hide anything from Shi Wanyue. He didn't say it last night simply because it was not appropriate to say it at that time. What's the point of talking about these things in the middle of the night?

"Patriarch? Such a young patriarch?" Shi Wanyue was also a little surprised. She thought he was at most the best of the younger generation of the Duan family.

"Well, her father died, and she took over. Not only is she the head of the Duan family, she is also the niece of Teacher Duan."

"So that's why she wants to cooperate with Miaomiao?" Shi Wanyue thought of it immediately.

Wen Zhimiao laughed: "Sister is so smart."

"Shao Pin." Shi Wanyue interrupted her.

Wen Zhimiao rested his chin on Shi Wanyue's shoulder: "Yes, she originally wanted to take advantage of our fight with the Duan family to gain a say for herself and weaken the Elders' Council's say and control. She also has a private army that the Duan Elders' Council doesn't know about."

"But now she said she wants to cooperate with me, as long as I let go of other innocent people outside the Council of Elders, and she is even willing to let me control the trade route from Tianqi to Lujin Kingdom through the Duan family. In this way, it will be much easier for me to open up the road to the west."

"So I agreed." Wen Zhimiao said to Shi Wanyue.

"That's all?" Shi Wanyue felt that there should be more than that, but unfortunately the Supervisory Office and the Dragon Shadow Guard had not sent back much detailed information about Duan Jiling.

"There should be more than one reason. She has such a good relationship with Teacher Duan, so her relationship with her father should be just average. She might also have some grudges with the Elders' Council. Her father wanted to refine an elixir of life, so he asked her mother to try it out, and he even tried it during her pregnancy. If I were her, I would also feel resentment towards such a family." Thinking of Duan Jiling's life experience, Wen Zhimiao sighed a little.

"So she is very weak?" Shi Wanyue asked?

"Well, judging from what she said, it should be quite serious." Wen Zhimiao sighed.

If she puts aside her identities, she would actually be quite willing to be friends with Duan Jiling.

Of course, I’m afraid it can’t be done now.

"Maybe Dean Lu has a solution?" Shi Wanyue said softly.

Wen Zhimiao smiled and said, "Shouldn't sister advise me not to help her?"

"Her death will not do us any good. The Duan family can be destroyed, but as she herself said, the Duan family controls the trade route to the west, which will be of great help to what you want to do in the future." Shi Wanyue said softly.

"Besides, we should save Teacher Duan's niece. She or Teacher Duan will be grateful to us. If she dies, it is unclear what Teacher Duan will do. After all, Teacher Duan doesn't have such a peaceful life."

As for Duan Yunting, Shi Wanyue always felt that it was impossible for her to be unaware that Duan had sent people to kill her, but she was still injured.

"Sister really thinks the same as I do."

"It's different. I only analyzed the pros and cons. It would be even more unbearable for you to treat her as a friend." Shi Wanyue said it very calmly, but Wen Zhimiao couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

I suddenly thought of Duan Jiling's confession and felt guilty.

"We are just friends at most, sister..." She blurted out, then realized that the second half was a bit weird, so she stopped.

"Friends aren't enough?" Shi Wanyue asked coldly.

Wen Zhimiao leaned softly against her: "That's enough."

"The Duan family controls a large amount of medicinal materials, but according to the information sent by the Supervisory Council and Sister Jiuzhao, there is a discrepancy between the medicinal materials sold by the Duan family each year and their income. She may not tell you this, so you can take this opportunity to find out who the Duan family sold the medicinal materials to." Shi Wanyue continued to discuss business with Wen Zhimiao.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Lujin Kingdom, Beirong, or even Donglan Kingdom." Wen Zhimiao replied to Shi Wanyue.

"Sister... let's take a break and stop discussing this." Wen Zhimiao looked at the vendor carrying the candied haws, reached out and took a string of candied haws, then took out a string of copper coins from her purse and threw it to the vendor.

The peddler was an old lady with white hair, and she was followed by a little girl carrying a basket. Wen Zhimiao's copper coins fell accurately into the little girl's basket.

"Sister, would you like to try it?" Wen Zhimiao fed the candied haws to Shi Wanyue.

The seller was very considerate. He cut the candied haws into two halves. Shi Wanyue bit off one half, and Wen Zhimiao took it back and took a bite of the other half himself.

"Not bad." Wen Zhimiao commented after eating.

Shi Wanyue also nodded slightly: "Well, it's delicious."

Wen Zhimiao's eyes curved slightly: "Then sister, please stop being angry with me, okay?"

"Please~" Wen Zhimiao pulled her clothes and acted coquettishly.

Shi Wanyue curled her lips unconsciously: "How can a subject have the right to be angry with His Highness?"

Wen Zhimiao muttered softly: "You still say no."

The smile on Shi Wanyue's lips became more and more obvious.
