"Has anything special happened in West City and North City recently?" Hu Haotian's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were staring at the person opposite him like a hawk, as if he wanted to see through all the secrets in his heart through his eyes.

Being stared at by Hu Haotian, the man opposite him couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, but he still pretended to be calm and replied: "To answer your question, nothing special has happened in West City and North City in the past few days. It's just...it's just that I heard that the scholar surnamed Xu has been restless recently."

When Hu Haotian heard this, his brows slightly furrowed, and a trace of barely perceptible annoyance flashed across his eyes. This scholar surnamed Xu had challenged his authority time and again. If he had not been somewhat useful, he would have been eliminated long ago. But this man did not know when to advance or retreat, and now he was even worse. It seemed that it was time to teach him a lesson.

Thinking of this, Hu Haotian said in a cold tone: "In this case, let's find a time to send him to that place. Let him have a taste of pain and know what words can be said and what words cannot be said!"

After saying that, Hu Haotian waved his hand, signaling the man to leave. After the man left, Hu Haotian leaned back on his chair and thought to himself. This scholar surnamed Xu must be dealt with properly, otherwise he will become a big problem in the future. As for how to deal with him, we need to think about it carefully.

The door of the study was slowly pushed open, and the man left the Hu Mansion in a hurry.

Qing Ning hid carefully aside, and through the faint light, she finally saw the appearance of the mysterious man.

She breathed a sigh of relief and quietly returned to her room. After entering the room, she took off the invisibility charm on her body lightly and landed next to the chair like a light butterfly. Holding the exquisite pastry in her hand, she tasted it bit by bit, as if nothing had happened just now and she had been enjoying the food here quietly.

In the study, Hu Haotian looked irritable and uneasy. Ever since the second prince, who was not valued by the emperor, set foot in Jiangnan, the situation in the entire Jiangnan region has become extremely chaotic.

Hu Haotian thought to himself, "What on earth does this Second Prince want to do? With his arrival, everything is out of control!"

He frowned and stared into the distance, as if trying to find a clue from this complicated situation. However, facing the predicament before him, he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness gradually spreading.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something important. So, he stood up without hesitation and walked towards the room not far away. When he slowly reached out and carefully pushed open the door, the scene in front of him made him stunned.

I saw a girl in white clothes sitting there quietly, holding a piece of exquisite cake in her hand. Her beautiful face was like a flower blooming in spring, emitting charming brilliance. However, when she heard the sound of the door opening, her eyes, which were originally as calm as water, immediately became flustered, like a frightened deer.

The girl's face was so real and vivid that his vigilance instantly disappeared. After so many years of ups and downs, he hadn't seen such an innocent person for a long time. Her mind was as pure as a clear spring. All her emotions and thoughts were expressed without reservation on that beautiful face. She didn't know how to hide herself at all.

"Sir, I am honored to meet you."

Qing Ning immediately put down the cake in her hand, walked up to the man, and bowed to him!

Hu Haotian immediately reached out and helped the girl up. Looking into the girl's eyes, a strange emotion flashed through his heart!
