The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

"What? How could this happen?"

Lin Zhu said anxiously, looking straight at the capable woman.

"Oh, who knows. Maybe she ate something she shouldn't have, or maybe she offended someone she shouldn't have. Anyway, I've long since grown tired of her. She's such a show-off."

After she finished speaking in one breath, she felt a little more relaxed and turned to look at Yun Nian and the other person.

"This must be the young couple you mentioned before. They don't look like ordinary people, especially not from our town."

She muttered to herself, then glanced at Wei Qingjue and leaned close to Yun Nian's ear.

"Little girl, tell me secretly, were you deceived into coming here? Or was he forcing you? Tell me the truth. There are soldiers here. If he is a bad guy, we will report him to the police."

Although the voice was lowered, Wei Qingjue could still hear it clearly even if he didn't listen carefully.

Perhaps realizing that Wei Qingjue had heard it, Zhang Xiu glared at him, not afraid of his cold dark green eyes at all.

Yun Nian was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.

"Oh, no, we...we were in love and got married, but we just wanted to see the world, so we came here together."

"Well, let's see the world..."

Zhang Xiu repeated it in disbelief, but she didn't say anything. Anyway, she had already reminded him.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu didn't seem to have any desire to say anything, Yun Nian blinked and immediately began to ask indirect questions.

"It must be very difficult for Aunt Zhang to manage such a large courtyard on a daily basis, right?"

The woman's eyes paused on Yun Nian for a moment, and then her smile became more sincere.

"Little girl, I love to hear that. Yes, I am really exhausted from taking care of such a large family."

Although the actual situation was not as she said, she was just an insignificant servant, otherwise the doorman would not have such an attitude.

But who cares? Yun Nian naturally knows how to please others.

"Every day my wife has to carefully calculate the money needed for the whole family's meals..."

She talked non-stop, as if she had known Yun Nian for a long time. She told him how many people there were in her family and what they did in the mansion on a daily basis.

During the period, he also mentioned how he met Lin Zhu.

"Don't be fooled by my appearance that I'm not approachable. In fact, I'm a very warm-hearted person. If you don't believe me, ask your Aunt Lin."

Zhang Xiu said with great excitement,

"She came to this town last year. She didn't even know she was cheated at first. If I hadn't discovered it, she wouldn't know where she would have been sold to."

After she finished speaking, she hummed softly, as if she was very satisfied with her actions, but Yun Nian and Wei Qingjue looked at each other.

Lin Zhu was originally from Feiyu Tower. After all, dealing with an ordinary person should be a very simple matter. How could he have let himself end up in this situation?

Unless she has other intentions.

"Then she insisted on thanking me. Oh, it was just a small matter. Let me tell you, I am from the Zhang family. Everyone in this town knows me. No one dares to look at me coldly."

While we were talking, the wontons were served. The vendor put them down with a smile, and then said lightly,

"That's nonsense again."

"Hey, you guy, why are you butting in here instead of cooking your wontons?"

The woman frowned, then said "Pah" and continued to brag.

"So that's how it is... That's amazing."

Yun Nian listened attentively and handed the chopsticks to the other party, which made Zhang Xiu like her more and more.

"I knew you were a good girl. I still say the same thing. If you are bullied, just come to me and I will help you."

She glanced at the indifferent man, and then sighed softly.

"However, there seem to be more places to spend money in the mansion recently. I heard that the master seems to be doing something big."

"What's the big deal?"

Unexpectedly, it was Lin Zhu who asked. When she saw Yun Nian looking at her, she seemed to realize that she was too anxious, and then smiled shyly.

"I'm a little curious, too."

Not paying attention to the strange looks from the others, Zhang Xiu couldn't wait to speak.

"I don't know either, but recently there have been a lot of clanging noises in the mansion at night, as if something is being struck. Money is being spent like water, but we haven't seen anything."

At this point, the woman felt as if she saw her own money being spent. In her opinion, it probably all belonged to her.

Yun Nian nodded gently. The strange jingling sound, the money spent inexplicably, the strange phenomenon that had only appeared recently...

Moreover, it seems that Aunt Lin in front of me is also very interested. Maybe this is a breakthrough.

Wei Qingjue was obviously deep in thought. At this time, the woman had finished her wontons, wiped her mouth and stood up.

"Okay, the bill is with her. I'm going back now."

Without waiting for anyone to answer, she continued to walk to the side door of Zhang's house, lowered her head and said something to the doorman. The doorman was probably reluctant, so she bowed humbly again and then entered the door.

The girl stood up and was about to say that they had paid for it when she saw the vendor making a mark on a booklet without any surprise.

"Tsk, the money you left is enough for her to eat out dozens of times."

"enough."

Lin Zhu propped up the table, looked at the vendor and nodded.

"Thank you for your hospitality. We are leaving now."

Then he walked out slowly and smiled at Yun Nian and the other person standing at the entrance.

"Well, although she is a bit noisy, she is really kind-hearted. I was almost in danger at that time, and she helped me."

"I think she's very nice, too. But she's completely different from you."

"Me? I look lifeless, don't I?"

The woman lowered her head and murmured, then gave a bitter smile and looked into the distance again. Yun Nian looked in the direction she was in, but the flying sand obscured her vision.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look, this world is so beautiful and peaceful."

Lin Zhu seemed to be hinting at something, but Yun Nian understood that this was not a good time to ask further questions. She walked quickly forward and supported the woman's right hand. Wei Qingjue stood on Yun Nian's right side, less than half a foot away.

The night was dark and the silence was spreading. Not even a bird could be heard. Suddenly, the girl on the bed opened her eyes and knocked lightly on the wall behind her.

"I see."

In response to the sound of counterattack and the low and hoarse response, the two men changed into black clothes and followed quietly behind a person.
