After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

I drank this cup of tea for a long time.

After getting rid of her initial vigilance, the descendant of the Wang family really enjoyed this kind of almost unremitting praise from others. In order to live up to the praise, Wang Shanshan even paid for the cup of tea herself. After all, how could a lady from an aristocratic family let a stranger who had just arrived in Shengjing City and was not even familiar with the roads pay for the tea?

The cousin had no idea that over the course of a cup of tea, she had already told the other person everything, including how old she was when she started to change her teeth and where her last tooth was hidden. Unfortunately, she didn't even know the other person's name, where he was from, or what kind of relative he was visiting.

After she finished her tea, she waved goodbye to the "confidant" she had just met, and invited the other party to visit her house with a smile. Then, feeling a little reluctant to leave, she found a carriage and returned to the Kejing Earl's house.

At that time, the sun was setting in the west and the sky was gradually getting dark. She sat in the carriage and looked at the faintly lit red lanterns outside the carriage. She was shocked to realize that she had stayed in the teahouse for so long... It seemed that they didn't talk for a long time, and the tea was not cold yet...

She pulled back the door curtain and asked the driver what time it was.

The driver looked at the sky behind him and smiled innocently, "It's almost the evening hour, winter is coming soon, the sky is getting dark quickly... I heard the girl speak with a foreign accent, we are not used to winter coming early here, right? In winter, the sky gets dark even faster!"

The cousin hated it most when people mentioned her "foreign accent". She had studied Shengjing accent very hard these years, but she still didn't speak it in the right way. The interest in the few small talks was gone in an instant. Wang Shanshan said "hmm" in a low voice and sat back in the carriage, thinking that the half-sister she just met was more interesting.

At least the other party can't hear the foreign accent.

No wonder we forgot the time during this chat - the cousin told herself so, and got off the carriage with the two sets of teacups. She went to Luofengxuan without even changing her clothes.

……

At this moment, Yuan Ge scooped a spoonful of dumplings and was about to eat them. He lowered his head and smelled the faint scent of nails in the strange fragrance on his fingertips. He sniffed it again in disbelief, and confirmed that he was not mistaken. Then he raised his hand with a gloomy face and called out, "Wait. Let me smell the box again."

The smell on the wooden box was indeed stronger, but there was no smell on the tea set in the box.

Miss Yuan was sniffing around the plain wooden box like a dog. She didn't know what was going on, but she didn't want to disturb Yuan Ge. It wasn't until Yuan Ge raised her head from the wooden box that she asked tentatively, "Is there something strange about this box? Is there something hidden in that shop?"

The box is strange, but the teacup is not. It cannot be said that the shopkeeper is definitely fine. Maybe this unprepossessing shop is just a cover for smuggling spices... Yuan Ge took one of the teacups and played with it in his palm. After a while, he ordered, "Go ask the doorman when the cousin came back. From the time she bought the teacup to now, it is enough for the cousin to walk twice... Besides, she is not someone who is willing to put herself in a difficult position. Let someone check who she has been in contact with during this period."

Jianshu nodded in agreement and pointed at the box, "Then this..."

"It's okay, it just has some unpleasant smell. Keep it, maybe it will be useful someday." Yuan Ge wiped his hands carefully, then picked up the bowl of dumplings that he had eaten with some twists and turns, and ate it in one gulp.

After eating the dumplings, Miss Yuan sat bored in a recliner admiring the night view. News came from the doorman first, confirming the time of Wang Shanshan's return. That is to say, the cousin stayed outside with the wooden box for half a day. She met all kinds of people in the streets and alleys. She might have been contaminated by the smell of Jiaxiang when passing by, or even... she might have just ridden in the same carriage with someone who had Jiaxiang.

Therefore, the origin of this Jiaxiang is particularly confusing.

I don't know why, but Yuan Ge always felt that the scent of armor was directed at him. That person knew Wang Shanshan's identity, and might have been watching them enter the shop together from somewhere during the day. Then he saw her alone and left the smell of armor... It was like a declaration of war, a declaration of war to Wen Qian.

But, who could it be?

……

"Wen Qian?" In the study room of the Second Prince's Mansion, Qin Yongpei looked at Jin Su, who appeared in front of him in disguise, and repeated the names he had heard today. "You mean, the one you injured that day was Wen Qian? How could it be her?"

"I was just suspicious at first. Liu Mazi brought the two girls and said they were from other places visiting their relatives. They looked unfamiliar. But Song Wenyuan and his companions came too quickly. I still remember how panicked he was, almost falling off his horse." I felt it was strange at the time, but I was more shocked by the woman's knowledge of Zhixuan Mountain. In addition, the soldiers had been searching door to door and even on the hilltops for the past two days, and she had been hiding from place to place and had no time to care about so many things.

Until today, she saw Wen Qian walking into the shop with two people in the alley. That figure... and the tall and heroic girl beside her, if you don't look at their faces, they are the two women who came to visit their relatives that day! Jin Su watched in the dark for a long time, so long that she saw Xu Chengjin taking Wen Qian to Sanpinju with her own eyes... Just the familiarity, the problem that had puzzled her at the beginning suddenly became clear!

Sure enough, all the old friends and acquaintances were lies. Wen Qian's understanding of Zhixuan Mountain must have come from Xu Chengjin, the Master Xu who used the alias Nanyin in Zhixuan Mountain and was very close to Yuan Ge!

Jin Su gritted her teeth, her expression behind the veil looking sinister. She said, "I guess she was wearing something like a human skin mask that day. It's not difficult for the Northern Pacification Office to get two human skin masks... What a Wen Qian! She made me lose a pockmarked Liu and hide in Wuxi Shandong for many days. Today, I finally entered the city and passed this news to Your Highness as soon as possible, so that you don't know who the enemy is."

It sounds nice, but it's just asking for something from yourself.

How could Qin Yongpei not know that this little girl with thin arms and legs and half a disfigured face was actually a wolf that would eat people without spitting out bones? He asked with a cold smile, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

The other party chuckled calmly, and even bowed politely, "I'm tired of living in uncertainty lately. I want to stay at your place for a few days to live in peace, Your Highness. Is that okay?"

Recently, the same rat in Shengjing City has probably been investigated several times. In view of the cooperation between the two, Qin Yongpei felt that this was not an unreasonable request, so he nodded and said, "After all, there are many people here. Either you hide in the dark room and I will personally bring you food and drink, or I will find a remote courtyard and find a trustworthy nanny to live with you and serve you food and drink, which can be regarded as giving you an identity. If you are in danger, you will act according to the circumstances. It's your choice."

The other party chuckled, his eyes shining darkly behind the veil, "Of course it's better to be able to see the light of day."
