Translator: 549690339
Wastrel b * tch … Xu Qi ‘an gave her a slap in her heart and said in a deep voice, ‘”‘0ne Qian of silver, I can’t give more.”
Shouldn’t he repay the kindness of others with a gushing spring? Wangfei looked at him in surprise and frowned. “I’ll pay you back. Don’t be so petty.”
Xu Qi ‘an sighed. we’re in dire straits. A single silver coin is already a lot. Any more than that would be unreasonable. North vanquishing Prince’s men or the northern spies, as long as they come here and ask casually, we will be exposed.”
And one Qian of silver, no more, no less, was enough for this poor family to eat meat and fish for a few days.
The Queen nodded and accepted Xu Qi ‘an’s explanation. Xu ningyan was very meticulous, and she was very convinced.
Then, she said with a happy expression, ” when we reach sanhuang County, I want to take a bath. I can’t stand the sour smell on my body.
Xu Qi ‘an ignored her. He sat on a small bench in the yard, looked at the blue sky, and said, ‘”‘1 want to drink yogurt after dinner.”
He slurped down the porridge and called the man in charge over.”Thank you,
I’ll bring … He didn’t bring anything with him when he came to visit …”
Xu Qi ‘an took out a piece of silver and handed it to the man. “This is just a small token of my appreciation.”
“This, this …” The man was stunned. He had seen copper coins before, but rarely silver.
The two of them pushed each other. The Queen stood aside and watched Xu Qi ‘an reason with the man seriously. She felt inexplicably happy and the corners of her mouth curled up.
A man with human feelings, although a little lecherous, was better than those big shots who were full of schemes, cruel, and bloodthirsty.
After the two of them left, the man held the silver pieces in his hands and returned to the hall with an excited expression. He showed them to his family like he was presenting a treasure.
“They … They left some silver behind.” The man said loudly.
The old man reached out his trembling hand and touched the child’s head. ASK FATHER to buy you meat tomorrow.
The poor family member’s face revealed a sincere and grateful joy.
“Why didn’t you introduce me just now?”
The princess said angrily as they walked on the main road.
“What?” Xu Qi ‘an didn’t react.
Hmph! Wang Fei Xuan caught up to him in a daze and glared at him. you said you’re going to the city to visit your relatives, but you ignored me? Hmph!
Xu Qi ‘an remembered that it was true. He asked, “”Then how do you think I should introduce you? Let’s talk about my wife, your current appearance is not worthy of my current handsome face. Calling her an older sister was too farfetched. One look and you could tell that she wasn’t your biological sister. We’re not suitable to be called maidservants.”
“Then just say that I’m your great aunt.” Wangfei put her hands on her waist.
“Get lost! Why don’t you just say that she’s great-grandma?” Xu Qi ‘an said unhappily.
They arrived at sanhuang County before dusk, but they didn’t enter the city immediately. Instead, they drank a cup of herbal tea in the pergola outside the city. When they arrived at sanhuang County, they had truly arrived at the Northern Territory.
When he arrived at sanhuang County, Xu Qi ‘an could meet the night watchman’s spy and gather information.
Sanhuang County was not large, with a population ot less than 100000. When they entered the city, the two were questioned and asked to show their official pass.
Wangfei suddenly became nervous and was half stunned. She knew that she didn’t have a Travel Pass and couldn’t stand the investigation.
What should. do? I can’t enter the city now … Her heart suddenly clenched. This meant that she had to continue on a long journey, and it also meant that Xu Qi ‘an could not investigate the case.
For a moment, he only felt that the future was bleak.
“There are.’
Xu Qi ‘an took out the official document with a smile and handed it over respectfully.
The guard glanced at it and returned it to Xu Qi ‘an. “Let’s go in.”
The Queen lowered her head and followed Xu Qi ‘an with small steps. When the city gate was gradually gone, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, ‘
“Where did you get the travel Pass?”
“When you were sleeping, I went out to snatch it and became a road Cutter thief.” Xu Qi ‘an said indifferently.
You’re really something … The Queen’s eyes curved. Then she heard Xu Qi ‘an sigh and say, ” the situation doesn’t look good. Your husband’s men know that I went north alone.
A question mark flashed in the Queen’s mind. This must be a lie. They had been sneaky all the way up north and had never revealed anything. How did King Huai’s men know that Xu ningyan had gone up north? And how did Xu Qi ‘an know?
As smart as she was, she actually couldn’t see any clues.
“But it’s a good thing they don’t know that you’re with me.” Xu Qi ‘an said.
. What do you mean?” Wangfei pursed her lips, tilted her head, and gazed at him with her beautiful eyes, humbly asking for advice.
She had always liked to listen to Xu Qi ‘an’s stories about solving cases, and she would always praise him when she heard the exciting parts. Of course, the Queen had never told Xu Qi’ an about these hobbies.
