Peasant Princess and Hen-pecked Prince - C210
In truth, their second house had already warned Madame Sun many years ago about this matter. This was because the eldest house bringing back the child was a threat to them, and this threat was not small, because as long as the eldest house did not have any children, then a person would be given the title of Duke Palaces from their second house. Thus, after finding the person to bring back, the second house threatened Madame Sun to not tell anyone about them having children.
She was originally a woman from the countryside. How much foresight could she have? Even though Madame Sun sometimes thought about her two children, compared to her own blissful life for the rest of her life, she had decided not to tell anyone about her having children. However, she did not expect that after all these years, they still had the chance to return.
When he thought of the people in the main house returning, everything he had enjoyed would vanish without a trace. Everyone in the second house felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
That was something they could neither see nor endure. Thinking about it, almost everyone in the second branch had a vicious thought in their minds, and that was that they absolutely could not let them return like this.
“One doesn’t work, two doesn’t work. Since the mansion’s people want to bring them back, we’ll kill them all along the way. I don’t believe that if they can’t bring them back, who else can they find as their son?” Dawn’s words reached everyone’s hearts. The people of the second branch had united into a united front, and a vicious plan had been quietly formed.
As for Wanqing, who was being thought of by the people from the second house, she was peacefully lying down and sleeping. After all, how could she not be tired after journeying for so many days? Now that she finally had the chance to have a good night’s sleep, she naturally couldn’t let it go.
However, there were some people who acted as if they were deliberately going against her.
Hua Jinwu coincidentally, he also arrived at the inn where Wanqing was staying. When he saw Wanqing’s horse was also in the stable of the inn, his face revealed a happy expression, “What a coincidence, that girl is actually here too. It seems like it is really fate.”
Hua Jinwu excitedly said as he walked inside, and after asking the waiter for a bit, he knew that Wanqing was staying in room number 1, the room right next to her was empty, so Hua Jinwu directly entered into room number 2, and the sound isolation was not very good either. Furthermore, with Hua Jinwu’s skill, he was able to hear any sounds coming from the room next to his.
He only knew that the first time he laid eyes on Wanqing, he was already attracted by the indifference in his eyes. This was probably because he had been accustomed to seeing those flattering gazes from Wanqing since he was young, and that kind of hypocritical and fawning look he had seen from a young age. When he saw Wanqing’s indifferent eyes, he would only feel that there was something else he wanted to catch.
Wanqing was naturally not very clear about what was happening outside, because she was already asleep. Although this sleep was peaceful, Wanqing still maintained a level of vigilance.
As a result, when Hua Jinwu went into the room next door, he was more or less vigilant. He knew that there was someone by the side, but he did not know who it was.
Originally, Wanqing thought that she would be able to sleep peacefully for the night, but in the middle of the night, she was woken up by the noise downstairs.
“Open the door! Open the door! Hurry! The county magistrate court will handle the case …” “Open the door …”
The sound of someone banging on the door came from downstairs, causing the quiet inn to become noisy. The shopkeeper had left the waiter to stand guard in the lobby, and when the waiter heard the sound, he quickly went to open the door, and seeing that it was really the officials outside, he was scared to the point that his entire body was trembling. After all, they were just commoners, and really had no relationship with the officials. Moreover, it was the middle of the night.
Seeing the door open, the official hurried in, not caring if it was midnight or not, and not caring if those people were all sleeping, they all went upstairs. Almost every room had a door guarded, the constable with a large knife on his waist majestically came in, looking at the waiter and asked, “Where is your shopkeeper?”
The waiter was on the verge of collapsing, and his entire body was shivering. This was unbearable. He really wanted to run away, but he was the inn’s shop assistant. Even if he wanted to run, where else could he run to? He could only bite the bullet and look at the constable, “Sir, our, our storekeeper is resting in the backyard.”
“Call him over.”
“Yes, yes …” The waiter quickly ran towards the backyard, his speed so fast that it seemed like there was someone chasing after him.
The doors to most of the rooms in the inn were opened. The people inside all came out to look around curiously, wanting to know what was going on outside.
Although Wanqing did not open the door, she still woke up.
At this time, Hua Jinwu opened the door wide open as he looked curiously at the situation outside. He originally thought that he could also look in the room next door, but after coming out, he realized that the person next door wasn’t curious about what was going on outside at all.
“Can this girl really hold her cool after such a big incident?”
The waiter quickly told the shopkeeper everything that had happened. The storekeeper was also shocked and quickly put on his clothes and came out.
Seeing the cold face of Yan Luo, although he was not scared to the point of trembling like the waiter, it was more or less enough.
“I wonder what business do you have with me when you come to my store so late at night?”
The constable looked at the shopkeeper coldly and said with a cold voice, “Someone reported that there is a great bandit in your inn. We came here today to capture him. Let me inform you, we just need your cooperation.”
What did a great thief mean? The shopkeeper had never thought that there would be bandits staying in his inn. How is that possible?
“Did Your Highness make a mistake? The people who live in my inn are all innocent people, how could there be a great bandit? ”
Just as the shopkeeper was talking to the constable in disbelief, the person in Earth Room 1 suddenly rushed out. It was clear that he wanted to force his way out.
There were no windows in the room, and the man was regretting that he did not stay there. Why was it that he was short of silver taels? If he lived in a place with a ‘Heavenly’ name, he would have just jumped out of the window and run away. Why would he need to force his way out like this? However, he also knew that if he didn’t rush out now, he would be imprisoned for the rest of his life, so he might as well take advantage of this moment to try his luck.
He stood there blankly as he watched the man who had charged out with the large blade knock down the guard guarding the door. The constable drew his sword from his waist and rushed forward as he saw the situation unfold, but he never thought that this bandit would have such great skills. In just a few moves, he had knocked the constable down to the ground.
“You little shrimps want to catch Yours Truly? What a joke! This lord had roamed the martial arts world for more than ten years, what have I not seen before? All of you want to use so few people to capture Yours Truly? Hmph, what an ignorant dog. ”
After he finished speaking, he swung the big blade in his hand and was about to walk towards the door, but he didn’t expect that someone behind him would silently move behind him and then put him on the ground with just one palm. It was as if all the strength in his body had been completely sucked out, making it impossible for him to even stand up.
“Slut, who are you? You dare to ruin my good deed? Are you not afraid that I will kill you? ”
Wanqing looked at the person that she had knocked down on the ground, and was still boasting shamelessly. She turned around and returned to her room without a care, as if what she had just done was not her.
Hua Jinwu looked at Wanqing with wide eyes, his eyes filled with questions. He had originally thought that this woman was only special, but he never thought that she actually had martial arts on her, and that her martial arts were so good as well. The little girl he had just seen, actually flew down from the second floor, and had not alarmed the arrogant person in front of him at all.
If it wasn’t for Xianqing, he would have already taken action, but I can’t guarantee that I would not have made a sound.
Furthermore, he also felt that Wanqing’s inner strength was slightly lacking compared to her own, so how could a person whose inner strength was even weaker than his own be so quiet? He was puzzled by this point.
Hua Jinwu had something he wanted to find out more, and he felt that this girl was very mysterious, as though she had countless secrets on her body. He didn’t know if it was his own misperception or something, but he decided to follow this girl until he found out about the so-called secrets on her body.
Wanqing returned to the second floor and when she saw the person living in the room next to her, she could not believe her eyes. She glared at Hua Jinwu angrily and went straight to his room without saying a word.
Hua Jinwu lifted his hand and touched his nose, looking down at the bandit who was still cursing and swearing but was about to be caught. He felt that it was meaningless to do it now, so he turned around and returned to his room.
The constable waved his hand, and all the constables guarding the doors to each room retreated. Could it be that Ninefire actually went up to the second floor alone to Wanqing’s room, and when he saw that it was a woman who stopped the bandit from leaving just now, his first thought was that who the hell was this woman, and why did she help him? Was there some purpose, or was it to approach him?
Thus, he decided to first understand that if this woman truly had some other purpose, he definitely could not sit still and wait for death.
“Thank you for your help just now. I wonder what your name is, I will definitely reward you in the future.”
“No need.”
Wanqing spoke a rare sentence, and then no longer made a sound.
The constable also heard the iciness and estrangement in her words and thought for a moment. It seemed that he had made a mistake, and the girl clearly didn’t want to get into any trouble with him. After thinking for a while, he said, “In that case, thank you young lady, if there’s anything he needs help with, he can go to the magistrate court and find me.”
The constable didn’t hear the response from the inside and just went downstairs to take his people and leave. But the constable was quite confident, even without looking at his appearance, he already felt that the woman was helping him out for something, so he didn’t blame her, because he was not just a constable, he was also the son of one of the wealthiest families in the city, so usually there were many women who secretly sent him off to marry into that rich family. Although he wasn’t very handsome, but he had such a good family, so he naturally had this idea.
After Hua Jinwu returned to his room, he earnestly listened to the sounds coming from the other room, but he did not hear a single sound from the next room at all.
In fact, he did not know that just now, after Wanqing replied the constable, he pushed open the window on the second floor and jumped out of the room, so it was normal for him to not be able to hear anything.
