I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

"It's my wolf?" Zhu Luo felt like she was dreaming.

She had always wanted to have a dog. Her grandmother had one, but it got old and passed away. She was heartbroken for a long time and, fearing she would experience another separation, gave up the idea of ​​having a dog.

Who would have thought that she now owns a wolf.

"Afraid?" Xiao Mingyan asked.

Zhu Luo shook his head: "Little Grey is a wolf cub. If you raise it properly from a young age, it's not difficult to build a close relationship with it. There's nothing to be afraid of. This is my first pet, I'm just a little excited. Thank you, Your Highness, and..."

She looked at Feng Sha.

Making eye contact with the alpha wolf is still a risky thing, even though its owner is right next to you.

She bravely faced the dark green light, saying, "Thank you, Wind Demon. I will take good care of your son."

As if it understood, Feng Sha howled at the sky, and the little wolf echoed its father's howl a few times.

Perhaps it was the father and son saying goodbye.

Xiao Mingyan sneered: "No need for promises, it can come over anytime it wants to see its son."

"Huh?" Zhu Luo's inner turmoil vanished instantly.

"It's just a wall away, is there any doubt?"

Zhu Luo suddenly deflated.

She almost forgot that they were neighbors.

"That name 'Grey' isn't good. Choose another one."

“Huh? I don’t want to,” Zhu Luo insisted. “Now that we know it’s a wolf, it should be called Little Grey. That way, when I see it, I can have more memories of the past. It’s a little comfort for me to be all alone here.”

Xiao Mingyan felt his forehead and heart pounding: "Then let's just call you that, don't bring up anything else. When did you become single?"

Zhu Luo smiled and said, "That's right. The prince and I are in the same trench, as is Feng Sha. You agree, right?"

Feng Sha glanced at her, his expression unchanged.

"No objection means you agree. Okay, from now on you will be called Little Grey."

She finally understood how the recipient felt when the popular custom of giving away puppies as gifts came about.

"Ahem, I have received the gift. Now, I have a few things to discuss."

Zhu Luo was still immersed in his own joy and thoughts.

"By the way, shouldn't His Highness be in the palace?"

The victory celebration must be in full swing right now.

Xiao Mingyan's face darkened: "Do you think I should go?"

Zhu Luo realized she had spoken out of turn: "That's not what I meant. Of course, Your Highness doesn't need to go. It's just a banquet for thieves who steal skills. If it were me, I would want to vomit just looking at it."

"Hmph, you've said both the truth and the falsehood."

"That's really what I think. The Northern Expeditionary Army is a mixed bag. Your Highness is leading such a difficult mission on your very first day. It's hard to guarantee that you won't be plotted against."

"Oh? You also know about military affairs? I really underestimated you."

Zhu Luo chuckled, "Anyone can see that, Your Highness, there's no need to make fun of me. Besides, Iron Wolf Stronghold, the credit for this has probably been snatched away by the Crown Prince, and the descendants of those powerful families who benefited certainly won't appreciate your kindness. I heard plenty of their gossip on the way here."

Xiao Mingyan looked up at the sky and snorted coldly, "Knowing more about you is not a good thing."

Zhu Luo leaned closer and looked in the direction he was looking: "I know Your Highness is referring to other people. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. Not only Your Highness, but I am also on my guard at all times."

Xiao Mingyan lowered his head and unexpectedly met a pair of clear and bright eyes, and was slightly taken aback.

"Is Your Highness curious?" Zhu Luo, completely unaware of the strange look in his eyes, stepped forward frankly. "Your Highness, do you know Shen Zhuluo? Hmm, the former Miss Shen?"

Xiao Mingyan's pupils contracted slightly: "Why did you mention her?"

His eyes held a complex expression, revealing a profound meaning that was difficult to fathom.

"Her? The prince and Miss Shen are acquaintances, right? That's why he recognized me as an imposter at a glance?"

“I don’t know her, but I’ve seen her a few times from afar in the palace,” Xiao Mingyan turned around. “Cang Xu found her; there are things you left behind next to her.”

Zhu Luo suddenly realized.

It must be that the pit she dug was too shallow.

She suddenly remembered something: "Did Lord Cang say he saw any jewelry on Miss Shen? Like headdresses, bracelets, or the like?"

She remembered the Longevity Bracelet; judging from Banxia's words, that item was very important to Shen Zhuluo.

Xiao Mingyan glanced at her, then shook his head in denial: "No."

Zhu Luo sighed in disappointment: "It must have been stolen."

"Hmph, you're talking about others? Didn't you take her baggage?"

Zhu Luo chuckled awkwardly, just as she was thinking about how to reply, when Banxia came from a distance to report: "Miss, someone has come to the front yard."

Both of them were taken aback.

Zhu Luo replied, "Who's looking for me?"

"It's Aunt Zhang."

Zhu Luo frowned.

The Qi family has already returned? Isn't that a bit early?

"I'm coming!"

"Yes, I will wait at the door."

Banxia had already seen the prince, and felt both relieved and afraid.

If others find out that the young lady is having an affair, it could cause a huge uproar.

But this man is a prince.

Is it a curse or a blessing?

Zhu Luo looked at Xiao Mingyan.

Xiao Mingyan's gaze drifted indifferently toward the door, as if he didn't mind her going to take a look.

Although Zhu Luo was puzzled, she did not ask him to leave.

Although the houses in Qingfeng Garden were not yet repaired, the doors were indeed installed solidly, all made of hard and thick teak.

Zhang Ma had originally intended to barge in, but now she could only bang on the door.

The door was suddenly pulled open by Zhu Luo.

"Who do we have here? It's Zhang Ma. What brings you here so late? This door cost me a lot of money. If you break it, I'll have to call the madam."

"Hmph, it's not my fault that this old servant doesn't know where the gate to Qingfeng Garden is. Madam sent me to remind the young lady that she is not allowed to go out without permission for the next month."

"Me? My father's house arrest order? Is there anything else?"

Zhang Ma leaned forward and said, "Madam said that a hairpin was dropped here during the day, and she asked this old servant to look for it."

After saying that, he stepped across the threshold.

Banxia stepped forward to stop her: "Zhang Ma, there are no hairpins in the yard."

"You think you can just say you don't have it? Banxia, ​​how dare you try to stop me!"

"Can I?" Zhu Luo pulled Banxia down.

“This…” Zhang Ma’s eyes darted around. “The hairpin was a gift from the master, and the madam treasures it dearly. Please, young lady, move aside. This old servant will leave whether I find it or not.”

Madam Qi was eager to know what was happening at Qingfeng Garden.

And whether Zhu Luo still has hidden money.

Zhu Luo crossed her arms and said, "Hmph, to save Zhang Ma the trouble, I'll just tell you directly, there are no hairpins belonging to the Madam in Qingfeng Garden, how about that?"

"Well... it would be better if this old servant went to find it himself. Miss, please don't make things difficult for this old servant."

As she spoke, she used her imposing figure to shove past Zhu Luo and entered the courtyard.

Before she could even get a good look, a furry animal suddenly flew towards her, baring its fangs and its sharp claws digging deep into her clothes.

The next moment, deafening wolf howls exploded overhead, like a sudden downpour and a violent storm, one after another.

Terrified, Zhang Ma frantically patted the door and scrambled back home, screaming all the way, "Ghost! Ghost!"
