Chapter 1104 - 105 - Returning to the Capital"About that …" Niu Er"s legs started to go soft, and his lips started to tremble. He started to sweat profusely.
Ning Zheyan waited again with a frown, it was obvious that she had no more patience, she turned around and was about to go back into the stove to cook.
"I"m here to return your basket." The moment Niu Er saw Ning Zheyan turning around, his nervous and frightened body finally relaxed, and as he neared, he revealed his purpose.
"Put it there!" Ning Zheyan quickly walked back to the stove.
How could these people really want to borrow some basket? It was obvious that he wanted to see the source of the basket."s home and village still had such a distance to travel!
Who would want to borrow money from him if they had nothing better to do?
Niu Er placed the basket in the yard, took a few more glances at the stove, and then quickly left.
Aiyo, this person is too scary! He was so scared that his legs went soft.
However, in the middle of running, Niu Er realized that he still hadn"t told Big Brother Hei the real business! That was the matter of the princess seeking a bride. With Big Brother Hei being such a distant relative, his chances of success would be very high if he were to partic.i.p.ate in the princess recruiting.
That face, not to mention a man, even a woman would not be able to move her eyes away from it!
But he really didn"t dare to go just now!
Ning Zheyan finished her meal and carried the firewood back.
After washing their hands and serving dishes, the two of them ate on the small wooden table. Naturally, they did not eat any random food or rice, but rather the best rice and delicious household dishes. If not for the bowl being a little broken, they would have eaten as much as they did in the restaurant.
Cang Chu looked at these dishes. Although these dishes were frequently eaten in the past and could not be considered as precious delicacies, but in this village that was located in a remote place, they were completely different.
"Did you hear any news when you went out to get the silver half a month ago?"
That"s right, all these food had been brought back by Ning Zheyan in a carriage on a dark and windy night. Just the silver carriage contained all the food itself, not to mention the ingredients, dishes, meat, etc.
"What news?" I left in the dead of night and returned in the dead of night. I didn"t see anyone along the way, so how could I have heard any news? " Originally, Ning Zheyan had planned to secretly tell Mu Jin about the news.
But just as he was about to leave, Cang Chu seemed to have already guessed what he was thinking, and directly threw out this sentence. If he brought back some other people, then his little life would not be able to be preserved.
Thus, for the sake of his little life, he had no choice but to obediently go and come back. He didn"t dare to leak out even a single bit of information, as he was afraid that Mu Jin"s secret guard would discover some clues.
"When I was chopping firewood, I heard people in the village discussing the princess" consort." Cang Chu said with some misgivings, his eyebrows knitted together.
"Which country?" Ning Zheyan asked as she took a bite of her purple potato.
"Of course it"s the Southern Mountain State!" Cang Chu lowered his voice, and his expression became serious.
"That"s impossible, right? It has only been a few months for Mu Jin and her daughter, so Mu Jin is already preparing to find a husband for their daughter? " Ning Zheyan drank another mouthful of the Lotus Root Ribs Soup, but he still maintained his calm and composed appearance.
"It"s the Su"er." Cang Chu immediately said the name.
There was soup in Ning Zheyan"s mouth, she paused for a moment, and then with a "gulp" he swallowed the soup down, and with a slightly sad and surprised expression she asked: "How did that Cang Chu die so quickly?"
Cang Chu did not have much of a reaction when he heard this. "I plan to go to the capital to find out what is going on."
Ning Zheyan was startled once again, "Sure!" If she went to the capital, maybe she wouldn"t come back?
Then he wouldn"t have to suffer in this poor mountain valley.
Cang Chu agreed 100 times to go to the capital.
"Eh …. However, you have also said that you do not wish to meet those people. Ning Zheyan only had to think about whether it was strange for a young Cang Chu to stand together with a young Cang Chu.
It was just like when he was a child and stood in front of him.
"Ning Zheyan, have you not felt that something is amiss after staying here for the past few days?" Cang Chu turned and look at Ning Zheyan.
Ning Zheyan thought for a moment, "There is indeed something wrong, those villagers always come to our house every few days, do you think they found out that I am hiding some money underground?"
"There are other people in this village besides the villagers." Cang Chu stared at Ning Zheyan with his deep and calm eyes.
Hearing Cang Chu"s words, Ning Zheyan retracted the playfulness on her face and carefully thought about it: "A while ago, I did indeed feel that someone was secretly observing us, but I did not think much about it. I only thought that it was those villagers, but now that I think about it, I really thought that it was very strange.
Of course, Ning Zheyan had always thought that it was because of the medicine that he had the illusion.
He had always thought that he was just being paranoid.
"It"s very possible that those people were sent by Mu Jin."
Hearing that, Ning Zheyan immediately waved her hands: "I"ll tell you, don"t frame me, I didn"t say anything, I just took the money and came back, and I haven"t seen anyone."
"When you left the Imperial Palace on the night of New Year"s Eve, Mu Jin probably sent people to track you down after you left. Furthermore, you walked all the way here, so there are quite a few people who saw you on the way.
"Why is Mu Jin tracking me down safely? He wished I had disappeared before him. " Ning Zheyan actually revealed a wry smile, and recalled what happened on New Year"s Eve once again.
"The one who truly wants to know your whereabouts is Wei Yuanwei, because in her previous life, she felt that she owed you. Although she couldn"t do anything in this life, she hoped that you would be alright."
When Ning Zheyan heard the three words "Wei Yuanwei," her expression changed yet again, and an inexplicable pain instantly enveloped his entire body.
The pain wrapped itself around his heart so tightly that he couldn"t breathe.
"Her previous life had nothing to do with this one. Why would she do that?" Ning Zheyan could not help but say with a cold voice.
Cang Chu was silent for a moment: "Eat, after eating we will pack up and leave tonight."
Cang Chu picked up the chopsticks and started to eat, but Ning Zheyan suddenly lost his appet.i.te, but after thinking about it, why would she be angry at this woman, and what was the point of doing so?
His previous life was a matter of his previous life, but he was not related to Wei Yuanwei in the slightest? Why did he care so much?
