The door creaked open.

Canglang looked at the person standing outside the door, slightly startled. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Wanwan spoke first, "Wouldn't you like me to come in and sit for a while?"

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Canglang to react and walked straight in.

"Close the door, I have something to tell you."

Canglang was suspicious, but he immediately closed the door.

Shen Wanwan walked inside, pulled a chair and sat down, then looked at Canglang without saying a word.

Canglang felt uncomfortable being stared at.

"Ms. Pei, I'm..."

"You are the King of Qin's man, right? Did he send you to follow me?"

Canglang's face turned pale instantly. How did Miss Pei find out?

"You don't have to tell me. I can probably guess that when he came to Xie's house last night, you came with him."

While traveling by carriage, she asked his name. When she heard the name Canglang, she felt it was somewhat familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember when she had heard this name.

She was in a hurry to get on with her journey and didn't think much about it, but after sitting in the carriage for a whole day, she had time to think about this companion who suddenly appeared.

He recalled the scene at the carriage again and again, and the words he said, "My name is Canglang. Miss Pei, you can just call me... Canglang."

Shen Wanwan was very sure that he had meant to say, "My name is Canglang. Miss Pei, you can just call me Canglang."

She couldn't think of anyone else who would put people around her except those arranged by the King of Qin, who could call themselves her subordinates but whom she didn't know.

Just now, when Canglang was having dinner in the lobby on the first floor, her expression changed obviously when she saw the three people coming in. She became more and more certain that he was the King of Qin's man, and he must have followed the King of Qin to deal with the matter of King Rui's private military camp in Hushan Gorge and rushed back to Shangjing City, and then was arranged to be with her.

In this way, there was a reason for his fatigue.

"Your master probably doesn't know that I'm out of town. You followed me so recklessly. Aren't you afraid of being punished when you return?"

She was very sure that when the King of Qin came last night, he did not know about her plan to leave the city today. If he knew, given his concern for her, he probably would not let her leave the gate of Xie Mansion, let alone the west gate of the city.

Canglang's face turned pale, "Master, he doesn't know about this."

He swallowed his saliva, hesitating whether he should say it, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Ms. Pei, when we captured King Rui, there was still some important evidence that needed to be collected and sorted out.

"But the master received news about you, and he decided to take Prince Rui back to Shangjing. He personally escorted him to the palace gate and then went to Xie's mansion."

What happened between the two of them in the room next was not something he, as a subordinate, could eavesdrop on.

Shen Wanwan's heart trembled slightly when she heard this. He actually went to this extent for her.

The Rui Wang Party is not just one person, there are many old foxes behind them who give advice and schemes, otherwise the imperial concubine would not have been able to dominate the harem for so many years, and the Qin Wang is not afraid of the worst...

It would be a lie to say that Shen Wanwan wasn't moved at this moment, but she also felt a bit annoyed.

I told him long ago that those people would blame him for raising private soldiers. Who knows what secrets are hidden in the basement of Jinhong Garden in the Marquis' Mansion, but he acted so recklessly and without regard for the consequences.

What is he doing?

She didn't believe that he didn't know that what he did would not reach her ears, but he still did it. His feelings for her were true, but he was also calculating. He was actually calculating against her!
