Alpha officials suddenly courted me
Chapter 66
"The only love in my life is Ningtang."
——Feng Xiao. "
Wen Ningwan sat on the ground, reading the letter in her hand by the light of the candle.
"Ning Tang? Feng Xiao?" Wen Ningwan muttered.
The voice echoed in the dark room. She raised her head and could barely see the roof, which was four or five meters high. It was a miracle that she didn't fall to her death.
The darkroom is the same as the library above, with books all around, but much older than the one above. Wen Ningwan looked at the letter, it was a letter expressing longing, written by Feng Xiao to a person named Ning Tang.
Wen Ningwan stood up with the help of the table, the table was spotless, people must come in often, so Wen Ningwan was not in a hurry to find the exit, she walked to the bookshelf with her weak legs while holding the table, and browsed at random.
His brows were frowned: "It seems to be a military theory, I don't understand it."
Wen Ningwan circled around, her ankle was so painful that she couldn't support it, she moved to the table with the help of the bookshelf and sat down, leaned closer to the candle, lifted her trouser legs, her ankle was already swollen.
Suddenly, the pain brought tears to his eyes, and he hurriedly pulled down his trouser legs, as if the pain would stop if he couldn't see.
His eyes fell on the letter paper, he was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly took it over: "Isn't Feng Xiao the former Marquis of Dingyuan, the mother of the national teacher?!"
Wen Ningwan hurriedly looked down, blinking her big watery eyes in disbelief: "Ning Tang—couldn't it be my aunt?"
After a long while, Wen Ningwan held her forehead, and the corner of her mouth twitched: "There is indeed a Ning in the original book, but it seems to be a supporting role."
Wen Ningwan frowned: "Boss Yang said that Auntie's surname is Ning. He seemed to mention the Ning family, but he didn't pay attention at the time."
Wen Ningwan pouted her head in frustration, and said to herself: "The old lady said that the old Houye went to propose marriage to A Niang but was rejected, and Boss Yang changed A Niang's family name to Ning, so..."
Wen Ningwan was ashamed and swallowed a small mouthful of saliva: "My mother's name is Ning Tang, the national teacher's mother is named Feng Xiao, the national teacher's mother likes my mother?!"
"Tsk~" Wen Ningwan raised her eyebrows with a look of disgust.
"Is it necessary to set up an agency?"
Wen Ningwan picked up the old little picture book again, just a simple story——
A young lady met a wanderer passing by, rescued her, and then fell in love with her. After the wanderer left, he told his family, and then came to propose marriage, married and had children, and loved her for a lifetime.
It's a warm little story, not even anything special.
Wen Ningwan kept watching it again and again. I don't know how many times I have watched it, but still didn't find anything special.
But since it is not special, why is it turned so old?
Wen Ningwan held the book up to the candle, and read chapter by chapter without any mystery.
Wen Ningwan took a deep breath, threw the small picture book aside, looked at the vase next to it, suddenly had an idea, moved over to get it, took out the bouquet, and said to herself: "It can't be that simple, can it?"
She put a few drops of water on the small picture book, and sure enough, words appeared on the book instantly.
"I am here"
Wen Ningwan shuddered in fright, and looked around, but the narrow dark room was empty.
Bite the bullet again and continue to let you drip——
"help me!"
Wen Ningwan turned around immediately in fright, her heart was in her throat, but there was still no one there.
Wen Ningwan took a deep breath: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it must be a distress signal, read it first."
This time Wen Ningwan simply poured down the whole page, and a map was displayed on it. Wen Ningwan stared in horror, and it turned out to be her own mansion.
Wen Ningwan's heart was beating wildly, she was too nervous to breathe out.
In the study building, the national teacher glanced at Wen Ningwan, and looked at her nervously.
The national teacher turned the oil lamp on the side, and a secret way appeared on the ground: "Stay here."
You Ran nodded dully, held his breath and watched the national teacher go down.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Wen Ningwan immediately hid the letter, nervously looking at the place where the sound came from, and the bookshelf that seemed to be seamlessly moved slowly.
Standing there alone with a lamp, Wen Ningwan was stunned, and looked at her with aggrieved eyes: "National Teacher~"
The national teacher walked in with a lamp, and suddenly there were dots of green lights flickering above his head. Wen Ningwan looked up curiously, and was startled when he saw the things that glowed like an eye.
The national teacher walked in front of her and looked down at her: "Is there anything wrong?"
Wen Ningwan came back to her senses, shook her head, and pitifully tugged at the hem of her skirt: "Master, my foot hurts~"
The national teacher was slightly startled, squatted down and put the lantern aside, pulled up her trouser legs, frowned slightly at the swollen ankle, and reached out to touch it.
Wen Ningwan immediately wanted to hide, but the national teacher immediately grabbed the instep of her foot and gave her a cold look: "Hold it."
Wen Ningwan looked at her anxiously, and suddenly cried out in pain: "Ah!"
You Ran was startled, looked at the dark secret passage, took a step forward and then backed down, with a gloomy expression, anxiously clenched the long sword at his waist.
The national teacher won't kill him suddenly, but she hasn't recovered her memory yet, what if...
Wen Ningwan was sweating profusely in pain, and kicked the national teacher angrily: "What are you doing?!"
Seeing that the national teacher could kick her own foot, Wen Ningwan was stunned for a moment, moved incredulously, and smiled happily: "You can move now!"
The national teacher glanced at the vase next to it, Wen Ningwan was startled, and explained calmly, "I took it here for self-defense."
"Self-defense?" The national teacher raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Such a secret dark room is often taken care of, and it is so strictly guarded in the National Teacher's Mansion. Wen Shaoqing should be sure that the person who came in was me."
The king with a cold expression, Wen Ningwan pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "Could it be that the person who came in is you, so you don't have to defend yourself?"
National Division:"……"
Wen Ningwan smiled mischievously: "In case the national teacher suddenly gets angry and wants to kill me, it's good to have something around me to guard against."
National Division:"……"
Wen Ningwan looked at the national teacher carefully, she didn't seem angry, and felt a little relieved.
The national teacher got up, looked at her indifferently, and Wen Ningwan smiled nervously.
"When I was conscious, did I ever want to kill you? Let you have such concerns?"
Wen Ningwan was slightly stunned, and muttered aggrievedly: "Exile, if it weren't for the great fortune of this Shaoqing, it would have been a pile of loess outside the city."
National Division:"……"
Looking at the people who didn't speak, Wen Ningwan spread her hands generously: "Don't worry, I'm a very nice person and I don't hold grudges."
"Hey!" The national teacher sneered, stretched out his hand and lifted her up.
Wen Ningwan was picked up easily like a decoration, and the national teacher handed her the lantern.
Wen Ningwan held the lantern and looked at her suspiciously, but the national teacher suddenly hugged her horizontally.
Wen Ningwan was startled, hooked her neck, and then smirked: "Is the national teacher addicted to hugging?"
The national teacher looked slightly stunned, didn't look at her, and carried her out with a calm expression.
You Ran looked at the person who came out of the secret passage, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his throat.
As expected of Wen Shaoqing, the national teacher can't resist her sugar-coated shells, and the national teacher will not be able to find her if she treats her miserably.
Back in the room, Xie Yulou applied the medicine for her with a downcast face: "Wen Shaoqing, can you stop torturing your body less, your health is very poor, if you continue to torment, I'm afraid you won't live long!"
Wen Ningwan muttered: "Isn't there a miracle doctor by my side?"
Shuang'er looked at Wen Ningwan worriedly: "My lord must listen to the doctor!"
"Okay, okay." Wen Ningwan looked at them helplessly.
As a result, Wen Ningwan delayed going to Dali Temple for several days, and when she returned to her original place of residence, Liu Jiaojiao did not touch any hopeful things there, including the vase on the street that Wen Ningwan bought with a lot of money.
"This is also the place where your mother used to handle official business." Wen Ningwan reached out and patted Shuang'er's shoulder.
Shuang'er glanced at her and smiled on her face: "Mother is very powerful."
"Of course." Wen Ningwan smiled and patted her shoulder twice.
"Come and see your mother's file with me."
Shuang'er looked at her curiously: "It's impossible to leave anything on the file, right?"
"There is no perfect lie in the world, what we have to do is to find the crack."
Shuang'er looked at her adoringly, and nodded vigorously.
Wen Ningwan started to doze off after reading it once, Shuang'er read it over and over again, Wen Ningwan stretched her waist: "Go back."
Shuang'er raised her eyes and shook her head unwillingly: "I'll take another look to find the crack you mentioned."
Looking at the stubborn man, Wen Ningwan scratched her head: "You have to know how to be flexible, if you can't find anything from above, then go out."
"What do you mean?"
Wen Ningwan tapped on the file with her fingers: "Yipinlou."
Shuang'er froze for a moment: "Mom can't go to the first-class building alone!"
"Smart!" Wen Ningwan smiled gratifiedly: "And then?"
Shuang'er glanced again immediately: "Who is that person with mother? In a place like Yipin Building, it's impossible that no one saw it, so we're going to find out who that person is now!"
Wen Ningwan got up with a smile, and stretched out her hand: "Let's go."
Shuang'er grabbed her hand and stood up, looking at her with admiration: "My lord is so powerful, Shuang'er didn't even think of it."
"You're still young, it's normal that you haven't touched it before, and I set a wrong direction for you from the beginning, the crack. It made you think that you were looking for the loophole inside."
"It's true that Shuang'er is too shallow."
Wen Ningwan was stunned for a moment, and said to herself: "The wrong direction has been drawn."
Shuang'er looked at the man with a strange smile in doubt: "My lord?"
Wen Ningwan immediately suppressed her smile and shook her head. The two walked out of Dali Temple hand in hand, and went straight to Yipinlou, where they were still in the original place.
Shuang'er looked nervously at the people around her, while Wen Ningwan was drinking and eating in a relaxed manner. Looking at the beauties dancing downstairs, she pointed her finger at the clerk beside her, "Go and call a beauty to accompany me."
Shuang'er: "..."
The guy looked very professional and skilled: "Who does Master Shaoqing want?"
"Li Yanran."
The clerk looked slightly stunned. She didn't know that Li Yanran was poured wine by Wen Ningwan before. After that, Li Yanran's reputation dropped significantly, and her position as the top card was in jeopardy.
"Go." Wen Ningwan looked anxious.
The clerk retreated immediately, and Shuang'er looked at her with a complicated expression: "Aren't you afraid that the national teacher will be jealous if you do this?"
"She..." Wen Ningwan shook her head and smiled, "Maybe she doesn't care about anything."
Shuang'er froze for a moment, but didn't speak.
Li Yanran went upstairs and looked at Wen Ningwan helplessly: "Wen Shaoqing wants to accompany you?"
Wen Ningwan smiled and raised her hand to signal her to sit down, then asked: "I want to know, did you see Liu Shaoqing the night her accident happened?"
"Wen Shaoqing doubts me?" Li Yanran sat aside, looking at Wen Ningwan with disdain.
Wen Ningwan shrugged and smiled relaxedly: "Miss Li, you don't need to be like this. I just asked casually. I heard that she came here to drink that night."
"The one who came with her is Xu Shaoqing from your Dali Temple."
Wen Ningwan was slightly taken aback, Xu Shaoqing and Liu Jiaojiao had known each other for many years, so it was normal for them to come together.
"How long have they been away?" Wen Ningwan continued to ask.
Li Yanran was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Is Wen Shaoqing under interrogation?"
Wen Ningwan raised her eyebrows with a serious expression: "So what? Could it be that the people behind Ms. Li are so powerful that I can't go to the first trial?"
Li Yanran was slightly taken aback, and Shuang'er looked at the serious-looking person opposite in surprise.
Wen Ningwan suddenly laughed: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's just a joke."
Li Yanran smiled with an ugly expression: "Wen Shaoqing is really interesting."
"Thank you for the compliment." Wen Ningwan took a sip of wine with a smile, and continued: "Did Liu Shaoqing talk to you that night?"
Li Yanran was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Maybe I said it, maybe I didn't say it, I don't remember it, after all, there are many guests talking to me every day in this building."
Wen Ningwan nodded silently, raised her eyes and smiled kindly: "Excuse me, you can go to your own business."
Li Yanran was stunned for a moment, then got up and stepped back in doubt.
Shuang'er looked at Wen Ningwan curiously: "Did you find out?"
"What about you?"
Shuang'er thought for a while: "I think she behaved strangely when the adults asked her if she had talked to her mother, especially when the adults said the people behind her."
Wen Ningwan nodded with a smile, glanced at the guy again, and waved.
The man stepped forward: "What is your order?"
"Go ask Miss Wu to come up and accompany me."
The guy's face was instantly livid, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was extremely stiff: "This..."
"What is this?" Wen Ningwan looked at her fiercely.
The buddy was startled, and immediately nodded and retreated: "The villain calls immediately!"
"Who is Miss Wu?" Shuang'er asked suspiciously, this person did not appear on the case file, nor had she heard of it.
Wen Ningwan smiled mischievously: "A newcomer, so pretty."
Shuang'er was at a loss, beautiful?
"Does she know anything?"
Wen Ningwan shook her head: "I don't know."
As she spoke, she looked at Wu Sanniang, who was swaying upstairs, with a plump body and a noble and charming appearance. The key is that she is a newcomer, young and with a simple background.
"grown ups."
Wen Ningwan had goosebumps all over her body, and her charming voice didn't look like Alpha at all.
"Please sit down." Wen Ningwan got up and pulled the chair for her.
Wu Sanniang lowered her head, touched her nose and smiled: "My lord, you are welcome."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Wen Ningwan stared at her with a smile.
Wu Sanniang glanced at Shuang'er, then at Wen Ningwan who had been staring at her all the time: "Isn't it inappropriate for an adult to stare at me like this in front of a child?"
Wen Ningwan came back to her senses, glanced at Shuang'er who was at a loss, and smiled mischievously: "It's okay, she will have to go through it sooner or later."
Shuang'er: "..."
Wu Sanniang smiled helplessly, looked at the shy Shuang'er: "Really?"
Shuang'er coughed lightly, then got up immediately: "My lord, I will wait for you at the door."
Wen Ningwan looked up at Shuang'er who hurried downstairs: "Tsk, good boy."
Wu Sanniang turned sideways, and looked at Wen Ningwan charmingly: "I met Mrs. Wen before, and I thought Mrs. Wen's life was really beautiful, and I couldn't help but want to take a closer look, but it's an Alpha."
Wen Ningwan also tilted her body and looked at her, reached out and raised her chin, her eyes were full of tenderness: "What about now?"
Shuang'er walked downstairs, looked at Wen Ningwan's molesting Wu Sannian, her face flushed slightly, she glanced at the people looking upstairs, and shook her head helplessly.
Wu Sanniang glanced at the person downstairs from the corner of her eye, reached out to hold the hand that lifted her chin, and looked at her with ambiguous eyes: "After knowing that the adult is an Omega, I often think of the adult, and I like it very much."
Wen Ningwan tilted her head and looked at her with a smile: "San Niang has a good eye."
"Wen Shaoqing has such an appearance, if I don't feel tempted, wouldn't it be too hypocritical?"
Wen Ningwan withdrew her hand and poured her a glass of wine: "I just like honest people like Sanniang."
Sanniang looked at the wine in front of her and clinked glasses with Wen Ningwan: "Your Excellency, you can ask whatever you want?"
Wen Ningwan paused holding the wine glass, pretending to smile relaxedly: "Cheer up! I like Sanniang more."
Wu Sanniang lowered her head and smiled, and looked at Wen Ningwan tenderly: "Everyone says that adults are frivolous, but I know that adults are definitely not frivolous people."
Wu Sanniang suddenly approached, her eyes met, she vaguely smelled the smell of Wen Ningwan's pheromone, and took a deep breath greedily: "If you guessed right, you haven't let anyone touch you yet, have you?"
Wen Ningwan looked at her in disbelief, and hurriedly smelled her own scent: "Can you smell it too?"
"Of course, in the face of a stunning beauty like your lord, if you can capture your heart, how can you not mark it and take you as your own?"
Wen Ningwan stuck out her tongue, then smiled and said, "Okay."
Wu Sanniang looked at her, as if observing something, with ambiguous and fiery eyes.
Wen Ningwan coughed lightly: "I want to ask when Liu Shaoqing left here that night? Did you talk to anyone?"
Wu Sanniang looked aggrieved: "My lord is asking like this? Don't you give me any benefits?"
Wen Ningwan spread her hands, glanced at the crowd downstairs from the corner of the eye: "Isn't it the best thing just now?"
Wu Sanniang laughed cheerfully and cupped her hands: "Thank you, my lord."
"That day, I remember that Liu Shaoqing came with Xu Shaoqing from Dali Temple. She didn't drink a drop of wine the whole time, but Xu Shaoqing was drunk. Liu Shaoqing helped her to leave at around [-]:[-]."
Wen Ning nodded late, but it coincided with the time of death on the dossier. The time of death in the dossier was probably when she left Yipinlou.
"Then did you see her talking to someone?"
Wu Sanniang spread her hands: "They said Dali Temple Shaoqing, there are many people who know them here, and they have talked a lot about them."
"Going out just to say hello."
Wu Sanniang frowned slightly: "Li Yanran went up to help Xu Shaoqing get into the carriage."
"And then?" Wen Ningwan asked calmly.
"Then the carriage left, Liu Shaoqing was not with me, and Li Yanran also came back."
Wen Ningwan frowned slightly, and shook her head: "Are you sure Liu Shaoqing didn't go with you?"
"of course."
"Then how long has it been since Li Yanran came back?"
Wu Sanniang froze for a moment, then looked at Wen Ningwan in disbelief: "Your Excellency, you doubt Li Yanran, right?"
"Before the real culprit comes out, everyone is suspected."
Wu Sanniang sighed: "I'm afraid this will disappoint you. After Li Yanran came back, she danced another dance before leaving. It took at least half an hour to go from Yipin Building to Wangyue Building. Besides, she danced It's been half an hour since Liu Shaoqing left, and in this hour, Liu Shaoqing must have already returned home."
Wen Ningwan frowned slightly, what if Liu Jiaojiao went to Wangyuelou to wait for someone?
"Okay." Wen Ningwan sighed.
"At first, I wanted to get you and her away, and let you be the top brand in the future. It seems a bit difficult."
Wu Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "Thank you for your kindness, but I can do it myself. It won't be so easy for my lord to come here soon."
"Don't I have priority?" Wen Ningwan muttered.
Wu Sanniang was slightly startled when she saw it, and then smiled: "You can have it."
"That's about the same." Wen Ningwan smiled mischievously, and drank a few more glasses of wine with her.
When she came out of Yipin Building, Shuang'er was dozing off at the door, Wen Ningwan walked up to her and patted her on the head: "Let's go."
"My lord." Shuang'er rubbed her eyes, then turned her head to look at the Yipin Building, which was already late at night but still bustling.
"Don't be an adult, I will only be a few years older than you, call me sister."
"what?"
"Don't want to?"
"I would like to."
"Call and listen!"
"elder sister."
Wen Ningwan happily hugged Shuang'er's shoulder: "Sister Shuang'er!"
Shuang'er smiled shyly, and Wen Ningwan was stunned for a moment: "That's not right, so I am a generation shorter than your mother?"
Shuang'er couldn't help laughing: "Master, do you want to go back on your word?"
Wen Ningwan held her forehead and looked at her helplessly: "Oh, I'm so mad!"
The two walked to Fengfu side by side, Wen Ningwan stretched her waist: "Wu Sanniang told me just now that your mother and Xu Shaoqing drank that night, she didn't drink a drop, Xu Shaoqing was drunk, but your mother just helped her Get into the carriage, and didn't go back with her."
Shuang'er looked at Wen Ningwan suspiciously: "So my lord is investigating the case, not..."
"Of course!" Wen Ningwan looked at her angrily.
"And Wu Sanniang said that Li Yanran helped Xu Shaoqing get into the carriage at that time."
"Here, Li Yanran said she didn't know." Shuang'er was surprised.
Wen Ningwan nodded: "I have confirmed it. She lied. Many people watched it that night. It is impossible to forget this kind of thing soon."
Shuang'er frowned slightly: "Did she kill my mother?"
Wen Ningwan shook her head: "I'm not sure yet. After your mother left alone, Li Yanran danced again, and it took about half an hour to leave from Yipinlou."
"When your mother left, it was Zishi, and when the time of death was Choushi, it took at least half an hour from Yipinlou to Wangyuelou, and the time when Li Yanran finished dancing and went to Wangyuelou was an hour from the time your mother left. She couldn't catch up. .”
"What if mother is waiting for her in Wangyue Tower?"
Wen Ningwan frowned: "There is no evidence."
"Yes!" Shuang'er took out the rag wrapped in paper with a determined expression, "I found out that this rag is from Li Yanran's clothes."
Wen Ningwan looked at her solemnly, and shook her head helplessly: "That doesn't prove it either."
Shuang'er looked slightly stunned, and lowered her head uncomfortably: "What should I do?"
Wen Ningwan looked up at the Moon Tower in front of her: "Go up and have a look."
Shuang'er hurriedly followed.
Because of Liu Jiaojiao's death, many people in Wangyue Tower are taboo, so there are almost no people.
Wen Ningwan looked at the place where Liu Jiaojiao fell, and glanced around, Shuang'er stood aside wiping tears.
Wen Ningwan suddenly noticed something and squatted down.
Shuang'er wiped away tears and turned around: "What's wrong?"
Wen Ningwan waved, Shuang'er hurried up, and there was a piece of paper stuck in the frozen snow on the ground.
"This……"
Wen Ningwan took out the dagger on her body, pried up the shredded paper stuck in the snow along the edge, and carefully scraped off a thin layer of ice, revealing a word.
"Look!" Shuang'er read out in surprise.
Wen Ningwan held her breath and continued to shave.
"Wait at Moon Tower!" Shuang'er looked at Wen Ningwan in astonishment.
Wen Ningwan sneered: "It's time to arrest and ask."
"Li Yanran?" Shuang'er asked.
That night, people from Dali Temple took Li Yanran away from Yipin Building, but Wen Ningwan went back to sleep.
Shuang'er studied the handwriting all night, comparing each stroke, but it wasn't Li Yanran's handwriting.
Mu Siyun hid at the door of Wen Ningwan's room, and Wen Ningwan yawned and pushed the door out until noon.
"temperature……"
"I'm so hungry." Wen Ningwan rubbed her belly and ignored her.
Mu Siyun hurriedly followed: "Wen Shaoqing, Shuang'er's handwriting has been compared all night, it's not Li Yanran's, that child is in a daze, don't you worry?"
Wen Ningwan rubbed her eyes, looking at the strong sunlight: "She is very smart, she will find a way."
"What do you mean? What do you plan to do?"
Wen Ningwan smiled mischievously at her: "I won't tell you!"
Mu Siyun supported his forehead, and followed beside him angrily: "You have just been reinstated as an official, and if you arrest people casually like this, you will be impeached soon."
"Then let's see who can't hold it back first." Wen Ningwan spread her hands with ease, walked into the room and sat down.
Mu Siyun looked at her suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
Wen Ningwan raised her eyebrows mysteriously: "If I don't move, others will move, and if others move, they will reveal their flaws."
Mu Siyun became more and more puzzled.
Wen Ningwan cleaned up, Mu Siyun stood by and watched her, Wen Ningwan looked at her with disgust: "Can you be a little self-conscious, don't you avoid me when I wash up?"
Mu Siyun was startled, and blushed: "Hasn't it always been like this before?"
Wen Ningwan looked at her with disgust: "At that time, it was because I was an Alpha, but it's different now."
Mu Siyun shrugged, pulled a chair over and sat down, put her hands on the back of the chair, rested her head on them, and looked at her with a smile.
Wen Ningwan: "..."
The servant girl who was serving at the side lowered her head and snickered. Such conversations have long been commonplace.
After finally washing up, Wen Ningwan went straight to the dinner table, and the Xie Yulou had already started.
"Watt?" Wen Ningwan was surprised.
"Xie Yulou! This is my house! Do you have any rules?!"
Xie Yulou ate alone: "Who made you wake up so late?"
Wen Ningwan raised her forehead: "I remember you guys are quite polite, aren't you?"
"That's in the National Teacher's Mansion." Mu Siyun pulled out a chair for her, sat down beside her, and picked up the bowl without any hesitation.
Wen Ningwan looked helplessly at the two who had no intention of waiting for her master, stuck out her tongue, and picked up the bowl resentfully.
The cooks in the mansion are all the best cooks selected by You Ran in the Guoshi Mansion, who cook Wen Ningwan's favorite food, plus a health-oriented Xie Yulou, every meal is delicious. It's delicious and healthy, and it's really hard to cook.
After lunch, Wen Ningwan sat in the yard basking in the sun. Most of the flowers she pulled from the back garden of the National Teacher's Mansion were alive, and some buds were already ready to move.
Wen Ningwan leaned on her chair and looked at the cloudless sky, and asked lazily, "Do you know Feng Xiao?"
Mu Siyun and Xie Yulou: "..."
Wen Ningwan looked at the two people who were speechless: "Speak."
"Tsk~" Xie Yulou looked at her with disgust: "That's the mother of the national teacher, your elder, how can you call her by his first name?"
"I think her name sounds nice." Wen Ningwan babbled.
Xie Yulou was ashamed: "Well, what happened to her?"
"What kind of person is she?" Wen Ningwan looked at her gossipingly.
Xie Yulou was at a loss: "Master Hou is a very nice person. Although she is too strict with the national teacher, it turns out that she is right."
"I'm talking about feelings." Wen Ningwan raised her eyebrows.
Xie Yulou asked suspiciously, "For example?"
"For example, Ye Laixi, the former saint of Miaojiang." Wen Ningwan smirked, and casually glanced at Mu Siyun who was stunned for a moment.
Xie Yulou looked at Mu Siyun: "This question is more suitable for the current saint."
Mu Siyun spread her hands: "I don't know what's going on with them, I only know that my uncle left Miao Jiang to practice, met the handsome old Hou Ye, and followed her all the time. When Miao Jiang knew where she was, She herself died in the National Teacher's Mansion and was cremated."
"Oh—" Wen Ningwan smiled.
"Miao Shishi told me before that after she left, the people in Miao Jiang have been looking for her, but they have never been able to find her."
Mu Siyun nodded, but did not speak.
"Why do you hide from people in Miaojiang?"
Mu Siyun looked slightly startled, shook his head and smiled, "I don't know, Eleven likes her very much, so I came to the capital to find out who killed my uncle."
Wen Ningwan looked at Xie Yulou suspiciously again: "What do you think?"
Xie Yulou was startled, and shook his head hurriedly: "I, I don't know, I haven't actually seen her a few times, I remember that the national teacher likes her very much, and often follows her, the national teacher doesn't like people mentioning her, Wen Shaoqing must remember Don't mention it in front of the national teacher."
Wen Ningwan nodded suspiciously: "But why? Since the national teacher likes her, why is it so disgusting that someone mentions her?"
Xie Yulou shook his head: "I don't know, there is no need to know everything about the national teacher's affairs, even friends can have secrets between each other."
"Then what is the secret that Dr. Xie is keeping from the national teacher?"
Xie Yulou sullenly said, "Is it still a secret to say it?"
Wen Ningwan smiled mischievously: "Curious."
Mu Siyun hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Xie Yulou glared at the two of them: "When I was a child, I broke the wooden sword she carved one by one, and lied to her that the weather was too hot, the wood was not good, and it was too brittle. She never knew."
Mu Siyun and Wen Ningwan: "..."
Xie Yulou spread his hands proudly: "Do you still want to hear it? I have many more like this."
The two gave her a blank look.
Mu Siyun smirked: "Are you sure the national teacher doesn't know? Maybe she did it on purpose?"
"Uh..." Xie Yulou scratched his head: "Probably not, she should be angry if she knew."
"Not necessarily." Wen Ningwan raised her eyebrows.
"Tch!" Xie Yulou rolled his eyes.
Wen Ningwan asked curiously again: "Then do you know that the old Hou Ye proposed marriage to someone but was rejected?"
Mu Siyun looked at her suspiciously, and Xie Yulou looked proud: "I know this. It happened more than 20 years ago. It was Ning Tang, the most beautiful woman in the world, the only daughter of the Ning family of the former assassin organization, who was once killed by her." The one who refused is the late emperor."
"Assassin organization?" Wen Ning was confused.
"Well! More than 20 years ago, the Yixinglou founded by the Ning family was a very powerful assassin organization. It went up to the imperial court, went down to the rivers and lakes, and even ordinary people. Who doesn't know the name of the Yixinglou? It specializes in solving troubles for others. organization."
Mu Siyun said: "When the Yixing Tower was at its peak, I used to be a witness to supervise the bet between Tianchu and Yanguo."
"I'll go! So powerful?"
Xie Yulou nodded again and again, with regret on his face: "At that time, I dreamed of joining them, but unfortunately I don't have that talent, I only know medical skills, and they all recruit people with strong martial arts."
Mu Siyun smiled: "Indeed, at that time, the Yixing Building took stock of the world's major events, knew everything and could do anything, and had high prestige. The key is that no one knew where the Yixing Building was."
"Why did it disappear in the end?" Wen Ningwan looked curious.
The two looked at each other and shook their heads: "I don't know, the rumor is that the National Teacher's Mansion was destroyed."
"No, Lord Hou has gone to propose marriage." Xie Yulou hastily denied.
"The ancestral skills of the national teacher's family, isn't it just ruined if they can't get it?" Mu Siyun looked disgusted.
"Tsk~" Wen Ningwan took a deep breath.
Xie Yulou suddenly looked at her in surprise: "That's not right, the beauty in the rivers and lakes married a businessman in the end, and the businessman's surname seems to be Wen?"
Mu Siyun was also taken aback for a moment, looking at the smug Wen Ningwan: "That's right, that's your mother, right?"
"Of course!" Wen Ningwan was full of complacency.
The two looked at each other, and then took another look at Wen Ningwan: "Then you should not be as good-looking as your mother."
"Indeed, no one came to propose marriage after all." Mu Siyun joked.
Wen Ningwan glared at the two of them: "I'm not showing off, understand?"
"You really underestimate yourself, who doesn't know how beautiful Wen Shaoqing is?" Xie Yulou said with disgust.
Mu Siyun smiled and looked at the angry person, Wen Ningwan took a deep breath.
"Ok."
"Oh, but..." Wen Ningwan had a gossipy face: "Did the old Hou first propose marriage and then meet Senior Ye, or did he first get to know Senior Ye and then propose marriage?"
Xie Yulou thought for a while: "According to the age of you and the national teacher, you should propose marriage first, and then get to know the saint after being rejected."
"This old Marquis has a lot of peach blossoms. I think the old lady must have been a beauty when she was young."
"of course."
"Then..." Wen Ningwan looked at the two of them curiously: "Why don't you choose the young and prosperous Marquis instead of a businessman?"
"How do we know that?"
Mu Siyun looked at her helplessly: "Your mother, Boss Wen, is not bad either. She was also a young talent when she was young."
"Indeed." Wen Ningwan nodded, then shook her head again: "But the number one beauty died not long after marrying her, she quickly found a woman, how could the number one beauty marry someone who doesn't love her?"
The two shook their heads and looked puzzled: "You don't even know that you are their child, and we don't even know."
"Does your uncle like to read small picture books?" Wen Ningwan asked Mu Siyun.
Mu Siyun shook her head: "Master Uncle is only interested in Gu Art, I've never heard that she likes such childish things."
"Your mother likes it." Xie Yulou said.
"Huh? How do you know?"
Xie Yulou supported his forehead, panting heavily with anger: "Your Wen family has a special place for printing small picture books called Huatang. Boss Wen has no intention of developing it, nor does he seem to close it. Very popular with children."
Wen Ningwan looked puzzled, could it be that Wen Ru liked Ning Tang so much, why was she so indifferent to their only child after she died, and immediately married another woman and doted on that concubine child.
"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the Yixing Building is because the only young master, Senior Ning Tang, got married and has no successors. Internal struggles all wanted to be the landlord, so in the end he was defeated by his own people. Senior Ning Tang blamed himself so he hanged himself to death."
As Mu Siyun said, she looked at Wen Ningwan anxiously.
Wen Ningwan nodded calmly. It was mentioned in the original book that Ning Tang did blame herself for hanging herself, but the reason for this self-blame seems not so simple.
"I forgot the specifics." Wen Ningwan patted her forehead annoyed. When she was reading, she only knew about CP, so how could she remember these details.
The two looked at her suspiciously: "What did you forget?"
Wen Ningwan shook her head immediately after recovering: "By the way, is there still a Yixing Tower now?"
"Senior Ning disappeared soon after his death. Besides, it has been more than 20 years, and he has long since disappeared." Xie Yulou looked regretful.
"Indeed, if I hadn't mentioned it today, I would have forgotten that there was such an amazing organization." Mu Siyun regretted.
So, what is the purpose of the other party deliberately letting me know about the relationship between Lord Hou and A Niang?
Wen Ningwan frowned.
And that "here I am, save me" is
——Feng Xiao. "
Wen Ningwan sat on the ground, reading the letter in her hand by the light of the candle.
"Ning Tang? Feng Xiao?" Wen Ningwan muttered.
The voice echoed in the dark room. She raised her head and could barely see the roof, which was four or five meters high. It was a miracle that she didn't fall to her death.
The darkroom is the same as the library above, with books all around, but much older than the one above. Wen Ningwan looked at the letter, it was a letter expressing longing, written by Feng Xiao to a person named Ning Tang.
Wen Ningwan stood up with the help of the table, the table was spotless, people must come in often, so Wen Ningwan was not in a hurry to find the exit, she walked to the bookshelf with her weak legs while holding the table, and browsed at random.
His brows were frowned: "It seems to be a military theory, I don't understand it."
Wen Ningwan circled around, her ankle was so painful that she couldn't support it, she moved to the table with the help of the bookshelf and sat down, leaned closer to the candle, lifted her trouser legs, her ankle was already swollen.
Suddenly, the pain brought tears to his eyes, and he hurriedly pulled down his trouser legs, as if the pain would stop if he couldn't see.
His eyes fell on the letter paper, he was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly took it over: "Isn't Feng Xiao the former Marquis of Dingyuan, the mother of the national teacher?!"
Wen Ningwan hurriedly looked down, blinking her big watery eyes in disbelief: "Ning Tang—couldn't it be my aunt?"
After a long while, Wen Ningwan held her forehead, and the corner of her mouth twitched: "There is indeed a Ning in the original book, but it seems to be a supporting role."
Wen Ningwan frowned: "Boss Yang said that Auntie's surname is Ning. He seemed to mention the Ning family, but he didn't pay attention at the time."
Wen Ningwan pouted her head in frustration, and said to herself: "The old lady said that the old Houye went to propose marriage to A Niang but was rejected, and Boss Yang changed A Niang's family name to Ning, so..."
Wen Ningwan was ashamed and swallowed a small mouthful of saliva: "My mother's name is Ning Tang, the national teacher's mother is named Feng Xiao, the national teacher's mother likes my mother?!"
"Tsk~" Wen Ningwan raised her eyebrows with a look of disgust.
"Is it necessary to set up an agency?"
Wen Ningwan picked up the old little picture book again, just a simple story——
A young lady met a wanderer passing by, rescued her, and then fell in love with her. After the wanderer left, he told his family, and then came to propose marriage, married and had children, and loved her for a lifetime.
It's a warm little story, not even anything special.
Wen Ningwan kept watching it again and again. I don't know how many times I have watched it, but still didn't find anything special.
But since it is not special, why is it turned so old?
Wen Ningwan held the book up to the candle, and read chapter by chapter without any mystery.
Wen Ningwan took a deep breath, threw the small picture book aside, looked at the vase next to it, suddenly had an idea, moved over to get it, took out the bouquet, and said to herself: "It can't be that simple, can it?"
She put a few drops of water on the small picture book, and sure enough, words appeared on the book instantly.
"I am here"
Wen Ningwan shuddered in fright, and looked around, but the narrow dark room was empty.
Bite the bullet again and continue to let you drip——
"help me!"
Wen Ningwan turned around immediately in fright, her heart was in her throat, but there was still no one there.
Wen Ningwan took a deep breath: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it must be a distress signal, read it first."
This time Wen Ningwan simply poured down the whole page, and a map was displayed on it. Wen Ningwan stared in horror, and it turned out to be her own mansion.
Wen Ningwan's heart was beating wildly, she was too nervous to breathe out.
In the study building, the national teacher glanced at Wen Ningwan, and looked at her nervously.
The national teacher turned the oil lamp on the side, and a secret way appeared on the ground: "Stay here."
You Ran nodded dully, held his breath and watched the national teacher go down.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Wen Ningwan immediately hid the letter, nervously looking at the place where the sound came from, and the bookshelf that seemed to be seamlessly moved slowly.
Standing there alone with a lamp, Wen Ningwan was stunned, and looked at her with aggrieved eyes: "National Teacher~"
The national teacher walked in with a lamp, and suddenly there were dots of green lights flickering above his head. Wen Ningwan looked up curiously, and was startled when he saw the things that glowed like an eye.
The national teacher walked in front of her and looked down at her: "Is there anything wrong?"
Wen Ningwan came back to her senses, shook her head, and pitifully tugged at the hem of her skirt: "Master, my foot hurts~"
The national teacher was slightly startled, squatted down and put the lantern aside, pulled up her trouser legs, frowned slightly at the swollen ankle, and reached out to touch it.
Wen Ningwan immediately wanted to hide, but the national teacher immediately grabbed the instep of her foot and gave her a cold look: "Hold it."
Wen Ningwan looked at her anxiously, and suddenly cried out in pain: "Ah!"
You Ran was startled, looked at the dark secret passage, took a step forward and then backed down, with a gloomy expression, anxiously clenched the long sword at his waist.
The national teacher won't kill him suddenly, but she hasn't recovered her memory yet, what if...
Wen Ningwan was sweating profusely in pain, and kicked the national teacher angrily: "What are you doing?!"
Seeing that the national teacher could kick her own foot, Wen Ningwan was stunned for a moment, moved incredulously, and smiled happily: "You can move now!"
The national teacher glanced at the vase next to it, Wen Ningwan was startled, and explained calmly, "I took it here for self-defense."
"Self-defense?" The national teacher raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Such a secret dark room is often taken care of, and it is so strictly guarded in the National Teacher's Mansion. Wen Shaoqing should be sure that the person who came in was me."
The king with a cold expression, Wen Ningwan pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "Could it be that the person who came in is you, so you don't have to defend yourself?"
National Division:"……"
Wen Ningwan smiled mischievously: "In case the national teacher suddenly gets angry and wants to kill me, it's good to have something around me to guard against."
National Division:"……"
Wen Ningwan looked at the national teacher carefully, she didn't seem angry, and felt a little relieved.
The national teacher got up, looked at her indifferently, and Wen Ningwan smiled nervously.
"When I was conscious, did I ever want to kill you? Let you have such concerns?"
Wen Ningwan was slightly stunned, and muttered aggrievedly: "Exile, if it weren't for the great fortune of this Shaoqing, it would have been a pile of loess outside the city."
National Division:"……"
Looking at the people who didn't speak, Wen Ningwan spread her hands generously: "Don't worry, I'm a very nice person and I don't hold grudges."
"Hey!" The national teacher sneered, stretched out his hand and lifted her up.
Wen Ningwan was picked up easily like a decoration, and the national teacher handed her the lantern.
Wen Ningwan held the lantern and looked at her suspiciously, but the national teacher suddenly hugged her horizontally.
Wen Ningwan was startled, hooked her neck, and then smirked: "Is the national teacher addicted to hugging?"
The national teacher looked slightly stunned, didn't look at her, and carried her out with a calm expression.
You Ran looked at the person who came out of the secret passage, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his throat.
As expected of Wen Shaoqing, the national teacher can't resist her sugar-coated shells, and the national teacher will not be able to find her if she treats her miserably.
Back in the room, Xie Yulou applied the medicine for her with a downcast face: "Wen Shaoqing, can you stop torturing your body less, your health is very poor, if you continue to torment, I'm afraid you won't live long!"
Wen Ningwan muttered: "Isn't there a miracle doctor by my side?"
Shuang'er looked at Wen Ningwan worriedly: "My lord must listen to the doctor!"
"Okay, okay." Wen Ningwan looked at them helplessly.
As a result, Wen Ningwan delayed going to Dali Temple for several days, and when she returned to her original place of residence, Liu Jiaojiao did not touch any hopeful things there, including the vase on the street that Wen Ningwan bought with a lot of money.
"This is also the place where your mother used to handle official business." Wen Ningwan reached out and patted Shuang'er's shoulder.
Shuang'er glanced at her and smiled on her face: "Mother is very powerful."
"Of course." Wen Ningwan smiled and patted her shoulder twice.
"Come and see your mother's file with me."
Shuang'er looked at her curiously: "It's impossible to leave anything on the file, right?"
"There is no perfect lie in the world, what we have to do is to find the crack."
Shuang'er looked at her adoringly, and nodded vigorously.
Wen Ningwan started to doze off after reading it once, Shuang'er read it over and over again, Wen Ningwan stretched her waist: "Go back."
Shuang'er raised her eyes and shook her head unwillingly: "I'll take another look to find the crack you mentioned."
Looking at the stubborn man, Wen Ningwan scratched her head: "You have to know how to be flexible, if you can't find anything from above, then go out."
"What do you mean?"
Wen Ningwan tapped on the file with her fingers: "Yipinlou."
Shuang'er froze for a moment: "Mom can't go to the first-class building alone!"
"Smart!" Wen Ningwan smiled gratifiedly: "And then?"
Shuang'er glanced again immediately: "Who is that person with mother? In a place like Yipin Building, it's impossible that no one saw it, so we're going to find out who that person is now!"
Wen Ningwan got up with a smile, and stretched out her hand: "Let's go."
Shuang'er grabbed her hand and stood up, looking at her with admiration: "My lord is so powerful, Shuang'er didn't even think of it."
"You're still young, it's normal that you haven't touched it before, and I set a wrong direction for you from the beginning, the crack. It made you think that you were looking for the loophole inside."
"It's true that Shuang'er is too shallow."
Wen Ningwan was stunned for a moment, and said to herself: "The wrong direction has been drawn."
Shuang'er looked at the man with a strange smile in doubt: "My lord?"
Wen Ningwan immediately suppressed her smile and shook her head. The two walked out of Dali Temple hand in hand, and went straight to Yipinlou, where they were still in the original place.
Shuang'er looked nervously at the people around her, while Wen Ningwan was drinking and eating in a relaxed manner. Looking at the beauties dancing downstairs, she pointed her finger at the clerk beside her, "Go and call a beauty to accompany me."
Shuang'er: "..."
The guy looked very professional and skilled: "Who does Master Shaoqing want?"
"Li Yanran."
The clerk looked slightly stunned. She didn't know that Li Yanran was poured wine by Wen Ningwan before. After that, Li Yanran's reputation dropped significantly, and her position as the top card was in jeopardy.
"Go." Wen Ningwan looked anxious.
The clerk retreated immediately, and Shuang'er looked at her with a complicated expression: "Aren't you afraid that the national teacher will be jealous if you do this?"
"She..." Wen Ningwan shook her head and smiled, "Maybe she doesn't care about anything."
Shuang'er froze for a moment, but didn't speak.
Li Yanran went upstairs and looked at Wen Ningwan helplessly: "Wen Shaoqing wants to accompany you?"
Wen Ningwan smiled and raised her hand to signal her to sit down, then asked: "I want to know, did you see Liu Shaoqing the night her accident happened?"
"Wen Shaoqing doubts me?" Li Yanran sat aside, looking at Wen Ningwan with disdain.
Wen Ningwan shrugged and smiled relaxedly: "Miss Li, you don't need to be like this. I just asked casually. I heard that she came here to drink that night."
"The one who came with her is Xu Shaoqing from your Dali Temple."
Wen Ningwan was slightly taken aback, Xu Shaoqing and Liu Jiaojiao had known each other for many years, so it was normal for them to come together.
"How long have they been away?" Wen Ningwan continued to ask.
Li Yanran was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Is Wen Shaoqing under interrogation?"
Wen Ningwan raised her eyebrows with a serious expression: "So what? Could it be that the people behind Ms. Li are so powerful that I can't go to the first trial?"
Li Yanran was slightly taken aback, and Shuang'er looked at the serious-looking person opposite in surprise.
Wen Ningwan suddenly laughed: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's just a joke."
Li Yanran smiled with an ugly expression: "Wen Shaoqing is really interesting."
"Thank you for the compliment." Wen Ningwan took a sip of wine with a smile, and continued: "Did Liu Shaoqing talk to you that night?"
Li Yanran was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Maybe I said it, maybe I didn't say it, I don't remember it, after all, there are many guests talking to me every day in this building."
Wen Ningwan nodded silently, raised her eyes and smiled kindly: "Excuse me, you can go to your own business."
Li Yanran was stunned for a moment, then got up and stepped back in doubt.
Shuang'er looked at Wen Ningwan curiously: "Did you find out?"
"What about you?"
Shuang'er thought for a while: "I think she behaved strangely when the adults asked her if she had talked to her mother, especially when the adults said the people behind her."
Wen Ningwan nodded with a smile, glanced at the guy again, and waved.
The man stepped forward: "What is your order?"
"Go ask Miss Wu to come up and accompany me."
The guy's face was instantly livid, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was extremely stiff: "This..."
"What is this?" Wen Ningwan looked at her fiercely.
The buddy was startled, and immediately nodded and retreated: "The villain calls immediately!"
"Who is Miss Wu?" Shuang'er asked suspiciously, this person did not appear on the case file, nor had she heard of it.
Wen Ningwan smiled mischievously: "A newcomer, so pretty."
Shuang'er was at a loss, beautiful?
"Does she know anything?"
Wen Ningwan shook her head: "I don't know."
As she spoke, she looked at Wu Sanniang, who was swaying upstairs, with a plump body and a noble and charming appearance. The key is that she is a newcomer, young and with a simple background.
"grown ups."
Wen Ningwan had goosebumps all over her body, and her charming voice didn't look like Alpha at all.
"Please sit down." Wen Ningwan got up and pulled the chair for her.
Wu Sanniang lowered her head, touched her nose and smiled: "My lord, you are welcome."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Wen Ningwan stared at her with a smile.
Wu Sanniang glanced at Shuang'er, then at Wen Ningwan who had been staring at her all the time: "Isn't it inappropriate for an adult to stare at me like this in front of a child?"
Wen Ningwan came back to her senses, glanced at Shuang'er who was at a loss, and smiled mischievously: "It's okay, she will have to go through it sooner or later."
Shuang'er: "..."
Wu Sanniang smiled helplessly, looked at the shy Shuang'er: "Really?"
Shuang'er coughed lightly, then got up immediately: "My lord, I will wait for you at the door."
Wen Ningwan looked up at Shuang'er who hurried downstairs: "Tsk, good boy."
Wu Sanniang turned sideways, and looked at Wen Ningwan charmingly: "I met Mrs. Wen before, and I thought Mrs. Wen's life was really beautiful, and I couldn't help but want to take a closer look, but it's an Alpha."
Wen Ningwan also tilted her body and looked at her, reached out and raised her chin, her eyes were full of tenderness: "What about now?"
Shuang'er walked downstairs, looked at Wen Ningwan's molesting Wu Sannian, her face flushed slightly, she glanced at the people looking upstairs, and shook her head helplessly.
Wu Sanniang glanced at the person downstairs from the corner of her eye, reached out to hold the hand that lifted her chin, and looked at her with ambiguous eyes: "After knowing that the adult is an Omega, I often think of the adult, and I like it very much."
Wen Ningwan tilted her head and looked at her with a smile: "San Niang has a good eye."
"Wen Shaoqing has such an appearance, if I don't feel tempted, wouldn't it be too hypocritical?"
Wen Ningwan withdrew her hand and poured her a glass of wine: "I just like honest people like Sanniang."
Sanniang looked at the wine in front of her and clinked glasses with Wen Ningwan: "Your Excellency, you can ask whatever you want?"
Wen Ningwan paused holding the wine glass, pretending to smile relaxedly: "Cheer up! I like Sanniang more."
Wu Sanniang lowered her head and smiled, and looked at Wen Ningwan tenderly: "Everyone says that adults are frivolous, but I know that adults are definitely not frivolous people."
Wu Sanniang suddenly approached, her eyes met, she vaguely smelled the smell of Wen Ningwan's pheromone, and took a deep breath greedily: "If you guessed right, you haven't let anyone touch you yet, have you?"
Wen Ningwan looked at her in disbelief, and hurriedly smelled her own scent: "Can you smell it too?"
"Of course, in the face of a stunning beauty like your lord, if you can capture your heart, how can you not mark it and take you as your own?"
Wen Ningwan stuck out her tongue, then smiled and said, "Okay."
Wu Sanniang looked at her, as if observing something, with ambiguous and fiery eyes.
Wen Ningwan coughed lightly: "I want to ask when Liu Shaoqing left here that night? Did you talk to anyone?"
Wu Sanniang looked aggrieved: "My lord is asking like this? Don't you give me any benefits?"
Wen Ningwan spread her hands, glanced at the crowd downstairs from the corner of the eye: "Isn't it the best thing just now?"
Wu Sanniang laughed cheerfully and cupped her hands: "Thank you, my lord."
"That day, I remember that Liu Shaoqing came with Xu Shaoqing from Dali Temple. She didn't drink a drop of wine the whole time, but Xu Shaoqing was drunk. Liu Shaoqing helped her to leave at around [-]:[-]."
Wen Ning nodded late, but it coincided with the time of death on the dossier. The time of death in the dossier was probably when she left Yipinlou.
"Then did you see her talking to someone?"
Wu Sanniang spread her hands: "They said Dali Temple Shaoqing, there are many people who know them here, and they have talked a lot about them."
"Going out just to say hello."
Wu Sanniang frowned slightly: "Li Yanran went up to help Xu Shaoqing get into the carriage."
"And then?" Wen Ningwan asked calmly.
"Then the carriage left, Liu Shaoqing was not with me, and Li Yanran also came back."
Wen Ningwan frowned slightly, and shook her head: "Are you sure Liu Shaoqing didn't go with you?"
"of course."
"Then how long has it been since Li Yanran came back?"
Wu Sanniang froze for a moment, then looked at Wen Ningwan in disbelief: "Your Excellency, you doubt Li Yanran, right?"
"Before the real culprit comes out, everyone is suspected."
Wu Sanniang sighed: "I'm afraid this will disappoint you. After Li Yanran came back, she danced another dance before leaving. It took at least half an hour to go from Yipin Building to Wangyue Building. Besides, she danced It's been half an hour since Liu Shaoqing left, and in this hour, Liu Shaoqing must have already returned home."
Wen Ningwan frowned slightly, what if Liu Jiaojiao went to Wangyuelou to wait for someone?
"Okay." Wen Ningwan sighed.
"At first, I wanted to get you and her away, and let you be the top brand in the future. It seems a bit difficult."
Wu Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "Thank you for your kindness, but I can do it myself. It won't be so easy for my lord to come here soon."
"Don't I have priority?" Wen Ningwan muttered.
Wu Sanniang was slightly startled when she saw it, and then smiled: "You can have it."
"That's about the same." Wen Ningwan smiled mischievously, and drank a few more glasses of wine with her.
When she came out of Yipin Building, Shuang'er was dozing off at the door, Wen Ningwan walked up to her and patted her on the head: "Let's go."
"My lord." Shuang'er rubbed her eyes, then turned her head to look at the Yipin Building, which was already late at night but still bustling.
"Don't be an adult, I will only be a few years older than you, call me sister."
"what?"
"Don't want to?"
"I would like to."
"Call and listen!"
"elder sister."
Wen Ningwan happily hugged Shuang'er's shoulder: "Sister Shuang'er!"
Shuang'er smiled shyly, and Wen Ningwan was stunned for a moment: "That's not right, so I am a generation shorter than your mother?"
Shuang'er couldn't help laughing: "Master, do you want to go back on your word?"
Wen Ningwan held her forehead and looked at her helplessly: "Oh, I'm so mad!"
The two walked to Fengfu side by side, Wen Ningwan stretched her waist: "Wu Sanniang told me just now that your mother and Xu Shaoqing drank that night, she didn't drink a drop, Xu Shaoqing was drunk, but your mother just helped her Get into the carriage, and didn't go back with her."
Shuang'er looked at Wen Ningwan suspiciously: "So my lord is investigating the case, not..."
"Of course!" Wen Ningwan looked at her angrily.
"And Wu Sanniang said that Li Yanran helped Xu Shaoqing get into the carriage at that time."
"Here, Li Yanran said she didn't know." Shuang'er was surprised.
Wen Ningwan nodded: "I have confirmed it. She lied. Many people watched it that night. It is impossible to forget this kind of thing soon."
Shuang'er frowned slightly: "Did she kill my mother?"
Wen Ningwan shook her head: "I'm not sure yet. After your mother left alone, Li Yanran danced again, and it took about half an hour to leave from Yipinlou."
"When your mother left, it was Zishi, and when the time of death was Choushi, it took at least half an hour from Yipinlou to Wangyuelou, and the time when Li Yanran finished dancing and went to Wangyuelou was an hour from the time your mother left. She couldn't catch up. .”
"What if mother is waiting for her in Wangyue Tower?"
Wen Ningwan frowned: "There is no evidence."
"Yes!" Shuang'er took out the rag wrapped in paper with a determined expression, "I found out that this rag is from Li Yanran's clothes."
Wen Ningwan looked at her solemnly, and shook her head helplessly: "That doesn't prove it either."
Shuang'er looked slightly stunned, and lowered her head uncomfortably: "What should I do?"
Wen Ningwan looked up at the Moon Tower in front of her: "Go up and have a look."
Shuang'er hurriedly followed.
Because of Liu Jiaojiao's death, many people in Wangyue Tower are taboo, so there are almost no people.
Wen Ningwan looked at the place where Liu Jiaojiao fell, and glanced around, Shuang'er stood aside wiping tears.
Wen Ningwan suddenly noticed something and squatted down.
Shuang'er wiped away tears and turned around: "What's wrong?"
Wen Ningwan waved, Shuang'er hurried up, and there was a piece of paper stuck in the frozen snow on the ground.
"This……"
Wen Ningwan took out the dagger on her body, pried up the shredded paper stuck in the snow along the edge, and carefully scraped off a thin layer of ice, revealing a word.
"Look!" Shuang'er read out in surprise.
Wen Ningwan held her breath and continued to shave.
"Wait at Moon Tower!" Shuang'er looked at Wen Ningwan in astonishment.
Wen Ningwan sneered: "It's time to arrest and ask."
"Li Yanran?" Shuang'er asked.
That night, people from Dali Temple took Li Yanran away from Yipin Building, but Wen Ningwan went back to sleep.
Shuang'er studied the handwriting all night, comparing each stroke, but it wasn't Li Yanran's handwriting.
Mu Siyun hid at the door of Wen Ningwan's room, and Wen Ningwan yawned and pushed the door out until noon.
"temperature……"
"I'm so hungry." Wen Ningwan rubbed her belly and ignored her.
Mu Siyun hurriedly followed: "Wen Shaoqing, Shuang'er's handwriting has been compared all night, it's not Li Yanran's, that child is in a daze, don't you worry?"
Wen Ningwan rubbed her eyes, looking at the strong sunlight: "She is very smart, she will find a way."
"What do you mean? What do you plan to do?"
Wen Ningwan smiled mischievously at her: "I won't tell you!"
Mu Siyun supported his forehead, and followed beside him angrily: "You have just been reinstated as an official, and if you arrest people casually like this, you will be impeached soon."
"Then let's see who can't hold it back first." Wen Ningwan spread her hands with ease, walked into the room and sat down.
Mu Siyun looked at her suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
Wen Ningwan raised her eyebrows mysteriously: "If I don't move, others will move, and if others move, they will reveal their flaws."
Mu Siyun became more and more puzzled.
Wen Ningwan cleaned up, Mu Siyun stood by and watched her, Wen Ningwan looked at her with disgust: "Can you be a little self-conscious, don't you avoid me when I wash up?"
Mu Siyun was startled, and blushed: "Hasn't it always been like this before?"
Wen Ningwan looked at her with disgust: "At that time, it was because I was an Alpha, but it's different now."
Mu Siyun shrugged, pulled a chair over and sat down, put her hands on the back of the chair, rested her head on them, and looked at her with a smile.
Wen Ningwan: "..."
The servant girl who was serving at the side lowered her head and snickered. Such conversations have long been commonplace.
After finally washing up, Wen Ningwan went straight to the dinner table, and the Xie Yulou had already started.
"Watt?" Wen Ningwan was surprised.
"Xie Yulou! This is my house! Do you have any rules?!"
Xie Yulou ate alone: "Who made you wake up so late?"
Wen Ningwan raised her forehead: "I remember you guys are quite polite, aren't you?"
"That's in the National Teacher's Mansion." Mu Siyun pulled out a chair for her, sat down beside her, and picked up the bowl without any hesitation.
Wen Ningwan looked helplessly at the two who had no intention of waiting for her master, stuck out her tongue, and picked up the bowl resentfully.
The cooks in the mansion are all the best cooks selected by You Ran in the Guoshi Mansion, who cook Wen Ningwan's favorite food, plus a health-oriented Xie Yulou, every meal is delicious. It's delicious and healthy, and it's really hard to cook.
After lunch, Wen Ningwan sat in the yard basking in the sun. Most of the flowers she pulled from the back garden of the National Teacher's Mansion were alive, and some buds were already ready to move.
Wen Ningwan leaned on her chair and looked at the cloudless sky, and asked lazily, "Do you know Feng Xiao?"
Mu Siyun and Xie Yulou: "..."
Wen Ningwan looked at the two people who were speechless: "Speak."
"Tsk~" Xie Yulou looked at her with disgust: "That's the mother of the national teacher, your elder, how can you call her by his first name?"
"I think her name sounds nice." Wen Ningwan babbled.
Xie Yulou was ashamed: "Well, what happened to her?"
"What kind of person is she?" Wen Ningwan looked at her gossipingly.
Xie Yulou was at a loss: "Master Hou is a very nice person. Although she is too strict with the national teacher, it turns out that she is right."
"I'm talking about feelings." Wen Ningwan raised her eyebrows.
Xie Yulou asked suspiciously, "For example?"
"For example, Ye Laixi, the former saint of Miaojiang." Wen Ningwan smirked, and casually glanced at Mu Siyun who was stunned for a moment.
Xie Yulou looked at Mu Siyun: "This question is more suitable for the current saint."
Mu Siyun spread her hands: "I don't know what's going on with them, I only know that my uncle left Miao Jiang to practice, met the handsome old Hou Ye, and followed her all the time. When Miao Jiang knew where she was, She herself died in the National Teacher's Mansion and was cremated."
"Oh—" Wen Ningwan smiled.
"Miao Shishi told me before that after she left, the people in Miao Jiang have been looking for her, but they have never been able to find her."
Mu Siyun nodded, but did not speak.
"Why do you hide from people in Miaojiang?"
Mu Siyun looked slightly startled, shook his head and smiled, "I don't know, Eleven likes her very much, so I came to the capital to find out who killed my uncle."
Wen Ningwan looked at Xie Yulou suspiciously again: "What do you think?"
Xie Yulou was startled, and shook his head hurriedly: "I, I don't know, I haven't actually seen her a few times, I remember that the national teacher likes her very much, and often follows her, the national teacher doesn't like people mentioning her, Wen Shaoqing must remember Don't mention it in front of the national teacher."
Wen Ningwan nodded suspiciously: "But why? Since the national teacher likes her, why is it so disgusting that someone mentions her?"
Xie Yulou shook his head: "I don't know, there is no need to know everything about the national teacher's affairs, even friends can have secrets between each other."
"Then what is the secret that Dr. Xie is keeping from the national teacher?"
Xie Yulou sullenly said, "Is it still a secret to say it?"
Wen Ningwan smiled mischievously: "Curious."
Mu Siyun hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Xie Yulou glared at the two of them: "When I was a child, I broke the wooden sword she carved one by one, and lied to her that the weather was too hot, the wood was not good, and it was too brittle. She never knew."
Mu Siyun and Wen Ningwan: "..."
Xie Yulou spread his hands proudly: "Do you still want to hear it? I have many more like this."
The two gave her a blank look.
Mu Siyun smirked: "Are you sure the national teacher doesn't know? Maybe she did it on purpose?"
"Uh..." Xie Yulou scratched his head: "Probably not, she should be angry if she knew."
"Not necessarily." Wen Ningwan raised her eyebrows.
"Tch!" Xie Yulou rolled his eyes.
Wen Ningwan asked curiously again: "Then do you know that the old Hou Ye proposed marriage to someone but was rejected?"
Mu Siyun looked at her suspiciously, and Xie Yulou looked proud: "I know this. It happened more than 20 years ago. It was Ning Tang, the most beautiful woman in the world, the only daughter of the Ning family of the former assassin organization, who was once killed by her." The one who refused is the late emperor."
"Assassin organization?" Wen Ning was confused.
"Well! More than 20 years ago, the Yixinglou founded by the Ning family was a very powerful assassin organization. It went up to the imperial court, went down to the rivers and lakes, and even ordinary people. Who doesn't know the name of the Yixinglou? It specializes in solving troubles for others. organization."
Mu Siyun said: "When the Yixing Tower was at its peak, I used to be a witness to supervise the bet between Tianchu and Yanguo."
"I'll go! So powerful?"
Xie Yulou nodded again and again, with regret on his face: "At that time, I dreamed of joining them, but unfortunately I don't have that talent, I only know medical skills, and they all recruit people with strong martial arts."
Mu Siyun smiled: "Indeed, at that time, the Yixing Building took stock of the world's major events, knew everything and could do anything, and had high prestige. The key is that no one knew where the Yixing Building was."
"Why did it disappear in the end?" Wen Ningwan looked curious.
The two looked at each other and shook their heads: "I don't know, the rumor is that the National Teacher's Mansion was destroyed."
"No, Lord Hou has gone to propose marriage." Xie Yulou hastily denied.
"The ancestral skills of the national teacher's family, isn't it just ruined if they can't get it?" Mu Siyun looked disgusted.
"Tsk~" Wen Ningwan took a deep breath.
Xie Yulou suddenly looked at her in surprise: "That's not right, the beauty in the rivers and lakes married a businessman in the end, and the businessman's surname seems to be Wen?"
Mu Siyun was also taken aback for a moment, looking at the smug Wen Ningwan: "That's right, that's your mother, right?"
"Of course!" Wen Ningwan was full of complacency.
The two looked at each other, and then took another look at Wen Ningwan: "Then you should not be as good-looking as your mother."
"Indeed, no one came to propose marriage after all." Mu Siyun joked.
Wen Ningwan glared at the two of them: "I'm not showing off, understand?"
"You really underestimate yourself, who doesn't know how beautiful Wen Shaoqing is?" Xie Yulou said with disgust.
Mu Siyun smiled and looked at the angry person, Wen Ningwan took a deep breath.
"Ok."
"Oh, but..." Wen Ningwan had a gossipy face: "Did the old Hou first propose marriage and then meet Senior Ye, or did he first get to know Senior Ye and then propose marriage?"
Xie Yulou thought for a while: "According to the age of you and the national teacher, you should propose marriage first, and then get to know the saint after being rejected."
"This old Marquis has a lot of peach blossoms. I think the old lady must have been a beauty when she was young."
"of course."
"Then..." Wen Ningwan looked at the two of them curiously: "Why don't you choose the young and prosperous Marquis instead of a businessman?"
"How do we know that?"
Mu Siyun looked at her helplessly: "Your mother, Boss Wen, is not bad either. She was also a young talent when she was young."
"Indeed." Wen Ningwan nodded, then shook her head again: "But the number one beauty died not long after marrying her, she quickly found a woman, how could the number one beauty marry someone who doesn't love her?"
The two shook their heads and looked puzzled: "You don't even know that you are their child, and we don't even know."
"Does your uncle like to read small picture books?" Wen Ningwan asked Mu Siyun.
Mu Siyun shook her head: "Master Uncle is only interested in Gu Art, I've never heard that she likes such childish things."
"Your mother likes it." Xie Yulou said.
"Huh? How do you know?"
Xie Yulou supported his forehead, panting heavily with anger: "Your Wen family has a special place for printing small picture books called Huatang. Boss Wen has no intention of developing it, nor does he seem to close it. Very popular with children."
Wen Ningwan looked puzzled, could it be that Wen Ru liked Ning Tang so much, why was she so indifferent to their only child after she died, and immediately married another woman and doted on that concubine child.
"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the Yixing Building is because the only young master, Senior Ning Tang, got married and has no successors. Internal struggles all wanted to be the landlord, so in the end he was defeated by his own people. Senior Ning Tang blamed himself so he hanged himself to death."
As Mu Siyun said, she looked at Wen Ningwan anxiously.
Wen Ningwan nodded calmly. It was mentioned in the original book that Ning Tang did blame herself for hanging herself, but the reason for this self-blame seems not so simple.
"I forgot the specifics." Wen Ningwan patted her forehead annoyed. When she was reading, she only knew about CP, so how could she remember these details.
The two looked at her suspiciously: "What did you forget?"
Wen Ningwan shook her head immediately after recovering: "By the way, is there still a Yixing Tower now?"
"Senior Ning disappeared soon after his death. Besides, it has been more than 20 years, and he has long since disappeared." Xie Yulou looked regretful.
"Indeed, if I hadn't mentioned it today, I would have forgotten that there was such an amazing organization." Mu Siyun regretted.
So, what is the purpose of the other party deliberately letting me know about the relationship between Lord Hou and A Niang?
Wen Ningwan frowned.
And that "here I am, save me" is
