The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 130: Coming home late and being caught

Pei Hao said: "Then tell me."

“He’s from the Yan Clan, Xie Zhang’s cousin.” When she said this, the smile on Du Wan’s face remained the same, but there was a chill in her eyes. She just thought of this problem.

　That tall young man fits the description of the male protagonist’s cousin in the book.

 The embarrassed look of the three people reminded Du Wan of the three people captured by Qingfengju last time.

The three men were well hidden. If one of them had not risked his life and came out to find food, they would not have been able to catch them for a while. Now I know that maybe the clues that Pei Hao received were correct. Xie Zhang was probably afraid that his cousin's hiding place would be exposed, so he used a deception.

Pei Hao said with a serious face: "Wanwan, this matter is not trivial. Are you sure?"

"Nine times out of ten." Du Wan also corrected her attitude, "Did a child of the Xie family's eldest family go missing more than ten years ago? He was rescued by people from the Yan Clan and is now a high-ranking member of the organization. "

When it comes to personal safety, Du Wan did not hide anything this time. "I suspect that he was the one behind Yanmen's assassination attempt. If my guess is correct, he must know who wants to pay for my murder."

Pei Hao tightened his grip on the horse's reins. How did the little girl know this?

Pei Hao opened his mouth to ask several times, but he held back.

 The little girl has a big secret, which can be seen from the fact that she knows that the Xie family wants to rebel.

Pei Hao thought about this, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "It's a human or a ghost. You'll know it when you see him tomorrow."

"You're right. I'll make an appointment with people from the Yan Clan tomorrow." Du Wan must dig out clues to the real culprit from the Yan Clan this time no matter what.

 “Yeah.” Pei Hao said nothing more.

Pei Hao sent the person to the princess's mansion, but did not follow him into the mansion.

Du Wan will be safe when she returns to the house.

 Besides, lanterns will be hung in the corridors of the princess's residence, and there will also be several groups of patrolling guards.

When encountering the master, the guards will usually avoid him. If they cannot avoid it, they will respectfully step aside and bow their heads in salute. After the master passed by, the guards continued patrolling.

　　When one is about to step into Yuling Garden.

"younger sister!"

Du Qian's voice suddenly sounded.

Du Wan was so shocked that he stumbled and almost fell, "Brother, it's so late, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"

Du Qian saw the guilty look in his sister's eyes, "Yes, it's so late, where did my sister go?"

“Brother.” Du Wan shrank her neck, feeling extremely guilty.

Du Qian walked out of the shadows. He originally thought he would catch Pei Hao, but he only saw his sister coming back alone.

He heard tonight that Pei Hao was here again and appeared in Yulingyuan. He hurried over to Yulingyuan, but not only did he not find Pei Hao, but even the precious baby at home was gone.



Du Qian approached, carried his sister, and walked into Yulingyuan.

At this time, Du Wan also saw a large group of people kneeling in the courtyard. They were all servants of Yulingyuan, including the four maids Ningqin and Luoqi.

However, before she could say anything, Du Qian carried her into the house and closed the door.

 So, only the brother and sister were left in the house.

Du Wan was nervous, "Brother? Brother!"

"There's no point in calling me my brother. Tell me honestly, what are you doing?"

Du Qianjun’s face was extremely dark.

 There have always been a lot of accidents involving noble ladies in the capital, and there are not no examples to be found.

As long as my sister doesn't get married for a day, we can't let that guy Pei Hao take advantage of her. Otherwise, how can I establish myself in my husband’s family in the future? Doesn't it make people look down upon?

 My sister is still young and doesn’t understand.

Then Pei Hao is pretending to be stupid? !

At this time, Du Qian made a mental note of Pei Hao. Du Wan was so timid that she was so nervous that her little toes drew circles on the ground.

Seeing that Du Qian didn't lecture him anymore, she quietly stepped forward, stretched out her little hand and tugged on his sleeve.

Seeing that he still had a straight face, she spoke again, her little face was very innocent, her big eyes were clear and bright, "Brother, there is something serious about what happened this time. There is another thing that concerns our father, you Are you sure you want to listen?"

"Say, don't be too close." Du Qian looked down at the sleeves being pulled back and forth, pretending not to care.

Du Wan rolled her eyes, and immediately ran to the side to pour a cup of tea, handed it to Du Qian, and said flatteringly: "Brother, please come and sit down first. I will tell you slowly, what about this matter? It’s a long story.”

 “Don’t worry, brother has plenty of time.”

 “Okay then, let me focus on the key points.”

Before Du Wan said that, he ran to the door to make sure there was no one outside, and then closed the door.

Returning to Du Qian again, he pulled up a chair and sat down. He also poured a cup of tea in front of himself, preparing to take a sip when he felt thirsty. Under Du Qian's half-smiling, urgent gaze, he gritted his teeth. She overheard the conversation between Prince Consort Du and his entourage, then went to investigate the Huang family in Pingnancheng, and today, she met Huang Dacai at the gate of the princess mansion...

  Anyway, Du Wan told Du Qian everything that happened tonight.

Du Qian is the best person in this world to her.

Du Wan can even tell the other party about his cultivation. What happened tonight is really nothing.

Du Qian originally wanted to hear how his sister could explain her lies.

 As a result, the more I listened, the more something was wrong, and the more I listened, the more serious the matter became.

 It was just one night, what did my sister do?

Du Qian is best at looking at the essence of things. "On the night of the city's lockdown, Xie Zhang rescued his cousin! The murder in the tavern was probably committed by Xie Zhang."

 “Brother, you are so awesome.”

Du Wan really didn’t think of this before.

Du Qian added: "It's a pity that there is no evidence."

"Well, there is no evidence." It is written in the book that Xie Zhang acted extremely cautiously.

Du Wan did not expect that this matter would cause Xie Zhang to suffer a big loss.

 Besides, Du Wan had settled the grudge between the original owner and Xie Zhang long ago.

Du Wan is a little worried now. If Xie Zhang is implicated by her little butterfly, if the Qin Kingdom becomes chaotic in the future, will it be able to be calmed down quickly?

Du Wan didn't expect that his eldest brother would take Xie Zhang's place.

But it’s so tiring and hard-working.

Du Wan had hinted that his eldest brother wanted to abide by the clan rules and had no intention of participating in the world's hegemony.

At this time, Du Qian thought of another big thing his sister had done.

"Sister, you actually investigated my father's affairs?" Du Qian could imagine how upset his father would be when he learned about this.

Du Wan picked up the tea and finished it, "Hey, aren't I afraid that my father will be cheated?"

 “Why didn’t you tell me when we were in the clan?”

 “I didn’t even find out clearly, what should I say?”

 “Then tonight…”

"Didn't you catch me? If you don't tell me, you can let me go, hehe. I will only tell you about this matter, but don't tell daddy. Otherwise, I will be miserable." Du Wan looked pitiful. Looking at the cheap brother.

Du Qian was inexplicably convinced and promised not to tell his father.
