Pei Jinzhi thought she would be furious.

But she didn't. She just hung her head in disappointment for a moment, then returned to normal: "It's lost, so it's lost. I can only say that I have no destiny with them."

"Don't you want to find out where you came from?"

Pei Jinzhi's eyes were deep and he asked deliberately.

She once said that this was the only object that could trace its origin.

"The relationship between parents and children is a destiny predestined by heaven; they gave birth to me but lost me, and that destiny was severed.

If someone really wants to find me, I'm in Fengshui Town. Why has no one come to see me in all these years?

It's clear that they really don't want me. I don't need this golden locket anymore."

Sang Wan smiled, very proudly: "Now I have five hundred taels of gold, I can make as many locks as I want."

Pei Jinzhi instantly fell in love with her smile, which was as calm and composed as a spring breeze caressing the moon.

"You're so young, but how can you have such an old mentality? Every word you say about fate sounds like a monk chanting."

Sang Wan supported her chin with her hand and answered with interest:

"That's because you, Your Highness, have a comfortable life. How could you possibly understand the pain we ordinary people feel? I work in a pharmacy and have seen so much of birth, aging, sickness, and death since I was a child. Perhaps that's why."

Pei Jinzhi couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheeks, which were fleshy and elastic.

Her dark eyes were filled with tenderness, and even her tone was gentle and solemn: "You won't have to work so hard in the future. You are the wife of the prince of the Duke's Mansion."

"what?!"

Sang Wan stood up from the head of the bed.

"What did you say? Say it again?!"

Pei Jinzhi's black eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he asked back:

"Don't you know what Chongxi Niangzi means?"

Sang Wan stuttered and almost bit her tongue:

"But you said this was a deal. It was to drive away the Princess Jianing. Now that she's gone, your goal has been achieved. How did I become your wife?"

"That's our deal. I'll protect you, and you'll drive the County Lady away for me. Now, who would dare lay a hand on the Crown Prince's wife? Your safety is assured."

Pei Jinzhi moved slowly and leaned towards the bed, looking like he was enjoying the show.

"No! No!"

Sang Wan was so anxious that she jumped up and down: "I can't do it! Pei Jinzhi."

"Oh? Is it because you have Shi Luochuan in your heart?"

He almost gritted his teeth as he spoke the name.

"Yes...and no." Sang Wan paced back and forth anxiously, not knowing how to explain his feelings.

This was a bolt from the blue.

"Isn't this fake? No, I want a divorce!"

Sang Wan was so anxious that she almost cried.

How could she, a good girl, marry herself off without thinking? And to a family like the Pei Mansion?

Pei Jinzhi's eyes dimmed: "Okay, when the situation calms down, I will give you the divorce papers."

Sang Wan's surprise turned into joy: "Prince, do you keep your word?"

Pei Jinzhi's heart sank, and he raised his lips to sneer:

"Why, do I, a prince, need to be forced?"

Sang Wan's expression relaxed, and he smiled a bit flatteringly:

"That's because you are so handsome and dignified. I'm afraid the people who admire you are lining up from Fengshui Town to the capital."

"That's good to know." Pei Jinzhi simply closed his eyes.

"Then... Prince, when will the situation be settled?" Sang Wan asked weakly.

She really wanted to go home, but she was worried that the people from Tianxuan Sect would seek revenge on the Sang family, and she was worried.

"Just wait patiently. Tell me, how do you know that the assassin is from the Imperial City Bureau?" Pei Jinzhi took the opportunity to ask an important question.

After Sang Wan calmed down, she talked about the three times she encountered the assassin.

"The first time was at the funeral home. I went to look for my brother Sang Daqing and saw them sneak into the funeral home and take away the bodies of their accomplices.

The second time was at a tea stall, on my way to my cousin’s house in the countryside, when I ran into him by chance;

The third time was when I went to Longwu to look for Shi Luochuan and passed by a dilapidated temple. Oh, and I also found a token in the temple. It was pure gold. It had "Huangchengsi" written on it, and "Shangyi Laijun" on the back. I don't know what it means."

Previous? Pei Jinzhi's eyebrows were twisted into a 川 character.

This team of people came from the previous command of the Imperial City Division.

The Imperial City Division was a vast organization, divided into upper, middle, and lower command camps. The upper route had one to eight squads, while the middle and lower routes each had eight squads, for a total of twenty-four squads. Each squad had nearly fifty members, and the upper one was the most trusted of the trusted.

The addition of the squad name is the meaning of the Imperial City Commander badge.

This person's name is Lai Jun, and he sounds quite familiar.

Pei Jinzhi's eyebrows twitched: "Where is the token?"

Sang Wan told the truth: "I'm hiding at home."

That’s a pure gold plate!

Pei Jinzhi: "Fortunately you didn't show off everywhere."

"The Imperial City Commander's badge is inseparable from the person. If the badge is lost, this Imperial City officer will die. For the sake of his own life, he will dig deep into the ground to find the person who stole his badge."

Sang Wan bit her lip, a little unhappy:

"I didn't steal it, he dropped it himself."

Pei Jinzhi said, "Hide it well. When you are free, come back and get it. Leave it to me for safekeeping."

"Okay." Sang Wan was reluctant but had no choice.

"Didn't you go back to the countryside? Why did you go to Longwu to look for Shi Luochuan?" Pei Jinzhi's expression became unnatural.

"The countryside...it's not very convenient to take me in, so I thought of going to Shi Luochuan to stay for a few days."

Pei Jinzhi saw that she was vague in her words and knew that something must have happened. "Tell the truth, Sang Wan. Even if you don't tell me, I can still find out."

Sang Wan glared at him angrily, feeling both ashamed and angry. "My cousin from the countryside actually took advantage of the night when I was caught off guard and tried to have her son rape me. Fortunately, my cousin still had a shred of conscience, so I escaped."

Pei Jinzhi clenched his fists and his face was so cold that icicles seemed to be hanging on it.

"What a good relative." He suppressed his anger.

Seeing his gloomy face, Sang Wan tried to comfort him:

"At first I was really angry, but then I thought, everyone has bad relatives. So forget it."

Not to mention her, there are not many good people around Pei Jinzhi.

Pei Jinzhi raised his eyes, his expression uneasy:

"Then have you seen Shi Luochuan?"

Sang Wan bit her lower lip subconsciously.

Of course I saw it.

"No. He's not here."

Sang Wan chose to hide it.

The image of the golden boy and girl flashed through her mind, and she felt a little upset.

Pei Jinzhi thought of the woman who was with Shi Luochuan in the restaurant that day, and couldn't help but feel depressed again.

"Stay in the mansion for now. I'll let you go back when the time comes."

Sang Wan nodded, hesitated for a long time, and then looked up at him: "My Lord, I have a favor to ask. I am going to help you with your wedding, can you... can you not tell anyone else about it?"

A woman's reputation is of great importance. If Shi Luochuan knew about it, how would he look at her in the future?

Pei Jinzhi leaned on the couch, staring at her changing face, trying to find some clues.

Sang Wan lowered his head guiltily.

The two of them were silent for a while. Pei Jinzhi chuckled softly, as if to mock himself. His expression returned to his usual cold demeanor: "Don't worry, I won't tarnish Miss Sang's reputation."

In an instant, an invisible wall stood between the two of them, and Sang Wan was stunned.

Yes, this is the Pei Jinzhi she knows.

The mood changes in an instant. She can't see through it, can't guess it, and can't get close to it. Even if they are face to face, she will be intimidated.

She and he met by chance and were destined not to be on the same path.

"Thank you, Prince." Sang Wan bowed respectfully.

"No need. Go down."

Pei Jinzhi closed his eyes tiredly.
