Madam, protect me!

Chang'an North District.

Somewhere in a courtyard.

Li Nuo bowed his hand to Li Anning and said apologetically: "I didn't mean to offend just now. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Song Yu and his wife have a very good relationship. If they want not to be suspected, they must pretend to be more similar.

Li Anning waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's all for the case. Why are you talking about this? Do I seem to be an unreasonable person?"

She quickly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how is the situation over there?"

Li Nuo took out a waist badge and said, "This is the first step."

Seeing Li Nuo take out the title card, Li Anning was not surprised at all.

She had a strange intuition that as long as he wanted to do something, he would be able to do it.

Li Nuo continued: "The people who stole the door were very cautious. They did not gather everyone together, but conducted competitions in batches. I did not let you take action. However, a few days later, there will be a great opportunity. At that time, the senior officials of the pirates will gather in one place. If they are all caught in one go and then follow the clues, eradicating the pirates will not be a problem..."

When Li Anning heard this, a look of expectation appeared on his face.

Solving an ordinary murder case would increase her cultivation very little, but if she could eradicate this thieves organization, even with her fourth level cultivation, she would be able to obtain extremely considerable rewards.

She looked at Li Nuo and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Li Nuo thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid I have to wrong your Highness for a few more days. They still don't trust me. If nothing happens, the person who broke the door will definitely arrange someone to monitor our every move in the next few days. You have to cooperate with me." I will act for a few more days..."

Li Anning agreed immediately and said, "No problem!"

Acting with Li Nuo is much more interesting than stamping files in the Ministry of Justice.

Moreover, the more deeply she participates in the investigation process, the greater the gains will be.

It’s the first time I’ve done something like this, and it’s a different kind of excitement.

Compared to Li Anning who was eager to try, Li Nuo was in a somewhat depressed mood.

He had been working for three days and could have closed the net today, but in order to maximize his profits, he had to wait a few more days.

The next few days will be crucial, related to whether he can gain the trust of the burglar.

If there is a slight mistake, all the previous efforts will be wasted and all the efforts will fall short.

There are people watching him everywhere outside, just in case, he will definitely not be able to go home in the next few days.

He had to find a way to inform his wife so that they would not worry.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard. Li Nuo opened the door, and Butler Wu, who had also changed into a pair of shabby clothes, walked in. After closing the door, he said to Li Nuo: "Just now, someone was insinuating about the young master. Fortunately, the young master has made arrangements. There are also some sneaky guys on the street corners outside, they should be spying on the young master..."

With how cautious a burglar is, he would definitely not easily trust a newcomer who has just started.

These were all within Li Nuo's expectations.

They have made a lot of preparations for this goal.

There are more than a dozen families around, all of whom belong to them.

Butler Wu plays his neighbor.

Li Anning plays his wife.

The original owner of this house was named Song Yu, and he himself had a wife.

The couple lived in this small courtyard.

Although Li Nuo also has a wife, Li Anning is obviously more suitable for the role of Song Yu's wife than the wife.

One reason is that Song Yu's wife has a pair of proud breasts. If the lady plays the role, she will need to stuff things under her clothes.

There is no need for Li Anning, who plays his true character, which is even more than enough.

The more important reason is that the lady's acting skills are not good. If she were to act, her secret would definitely be revealed, so Li Nuo didn't even mention it.

Her Royal Highness is a cultivator. There is a huge difference in improving one's cultivation by personally participating in it and waiting to close the net.

No matter how you look at it, she is the best person to play this role.

Li Nuo looked at Butler Wu and said, "Don't pay attention to those people. However, at the Song Mansion, I sent someone back to deliver a message, telling my wife that I won't be going back these days, so they don't have to worry."

Butler Wu nodded and said, "The old slave will leave first. If you stay here for a long time, they may become suspicious."

Before Butler Wu left, Li Nuo folded some rice from the rice bag and asked him to take it back.

Borrowing some food from neighbors is normal and does not arouse suspicion.

After Butler Wu left, Li Nuo was thinking about how to arrange the next few days. When he turned around, he saw Li Anning standing in the yard in a daze.

Li Nuo looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Anning sighed and said with some regret: "I didn't expect that the man who hugged me for the first time would be you..."

Although she didn't mean to blame Li Nuo, her tone was full of regret.

Obviously her true feelings were not that she didn't care at all.

Li Nuo was not convinced.

Song Yu has a very good relationship with his wife, and they often have these intimate actions, just to avoid exposing any flaws.

Besides, it was also his first time.

Not only was it the first time to hug, it was also the first time to hold hands.

No lady has ever saved him like this...

The lady did hug him, but she hugged him sideways.

As Li Nuo walked towards the house, he muttered in a low voice: "This is not the first time for anyone..."

Li Anning was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "What did you say?"

Li Nuo shook his head: "Nothing."

Li Anning obviously heard Li Nuo's muttering, and said with some surprise: "We have been married for so long, and you haven't even hugged her. No wonder I always think you guys look weird, not normal at all." couple……"

She looked at Li Nuo and asked curiously: "What's going on with you guys?"

Li Nuo didn't answer her and strode into the house.

Li Anning followed him, and the trace of depression had long since disappeared without a trace.

It’s the first time for everyone, and it doesn’t matter who takes advantage of others.

However, if Song Jiaren finds out later, she can't be blamed.

My husband-in-law hugged another woman for the first time.

If it were her, she would definitely not be able to bear it.

But who told Song Jiaren not to cherish it?

Besides, everything happened for a reason, and she had a clear conscience anyway...

Li Nuo walked into the house, looked around, and sighed softly.

Song Yu's family conditions are not very good. Apart from a small courtyard, there is only one big house.

The kitchen, bedroom, and storage room are all in one big room, and there is no obstruction.

The only wooden bed was not as big as the Song Mansion. It could barely sleep two people without any gaps in the middle.

Even the quilt only has one bed.

Because he was worried that the burglars would come here to avoid exposing any flaws, Li Nuo did not change anything here.

The observation skills of these elite thieves cannot be matched by ordinary people.

The two of them definitely couldn't sleep in the same bed. The bed was so small that there was no room to turn over. He was not that close to a real wife, let alone a fake one.

It is not easy for Her Royal Highness the Princess to survive in a shabby house for a few nights despite her wealth.

Li Nuo could only suffer a little, took out the straw mat and slept on the ground next to him.

This is how the two slept last night.

Li Nuo sighed softly in his heart.

My wife never let him sleep on the floor.

But in order to get rich rewards in a few days, he could only endure it.

He didn't want to think about sleeping first. It was almost dark and he hadn't eaten anything all day. He planned to go out to fill his stomach first.

Although the Songs usually cook at home, it is a happy thing to be the first to steal. It is reasonable to spend a little money and go out to a restaurant.

At this time, it would be abnormal to be too calm.

When he walked to the entrance of the courtyard, Li Anning took the initiative to step forward, took his arm, and said: "When you get outside, don't call me Your Highness, don't reveal your secret, otherwise this whole time will be in vain..."

Of course Li Nuo understood and said, "I understand, madam..."

When Song Yu and his wife go out, they hold hands and are inseparable.

But Li Nuo was holding his arm, and as he walked, the full feeling of pressure on his arm was still there, which was a huge challenge for Li Nuo.

Eighteen years old is the age when one is in full swing. How can one resist this kind of temptation...

Li Anning looked at Li Nuo who suddenly stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Nuo bent down and straightened the hem of his clothes while saying, "I'll straighten my clothes and I'll be done in a moment..."

…

night.

In a mansion in Chang'an, Mr. Wu was checking the accounts for this month when there was a sudden knock on the door.

He marked the calculated location, closed the ledger, and said in a deep voice: "Come in."

A figure pushed the door open and whispered: "Master Wu, Master Song and his wife just left home and had a meal at a nearby restaurant and ordered a lot of delicious dishes..."

Chief Wu said calmly: "You are a young man after all, you can't hold your breath at all... However, you have just reached the top and become the leader. It is normal to celebrate and go out for a good meal. Apart from these, have you found any doubts?"

The man shook his head and said: "Not yet, my subordinate is sitting at the table next to them. The relationship between the couple is very good. They feed each other even when eating. The subordinate is very upset. Comfortable……"

Chief Wu picked up a piece of paper on the table, looked at it, and said, "This is what happens to newly married young couples. It is the same as the results of the investigation. It seems that Chief Song should have no problem..."

The man asked: "Then don't follow him anymore?"

Chief Wu nodded and said: "Yes, be careful and make no big mistake. Follow for three more days. After three days, if no problem is found, it will be just in time for this door-stealing conference..."

After a while, the man walked out of the house and sighed softly.

Tracking is a chore, let alone a newlywed couple.

He put on a beggar's clothes, came to a corner on the street somewhere, and slowly lay down.

Inside the house, Li Anning was lying on the bed, his eyes suddenly opened.

She turned her head and lowered her voice and said, "Someone is outside."

Li Nuo opened his eyes and woke up instantly.

These guys, don't need to be so cautious, even when sleeping at night.

He thought for a moment and said, "Shaking bed."

Li Anning was stunned and asked: "What?"

It was only then that Li Nuo realized that the relationship between Song Yu and his wife was so good. They were tired of being together during the day and slept in the same bed at night. How could they just sleep alone?

Before going to bed, you are not allowed to do some things that couples love to do?

They are not themselves and their wife.

After a while, Li Anning blushed, and together with Li Nuo, they shook the wooden bed underneath them to a creaking sound.

…

At dawn, Li Nuo got up from the straw mat and stretched his body, which was sore from sleeping.

The princess on the bed was still sleeping soundly. Li Nuo yawned, pushed her shoulder and said, "Your Highness..."

He woke up instantly after saying a word. This subconscious behavior was still very dangerous. If he called her Your Highness in front of the thieves, the suffering of the past two days would be in vain.

After coming back to his senses, Li Nuo pushed her again and said, "My wife, get up."

Li Anning was sleeping soundly. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "So early?"

Li Nuo said, "At this time, you should get up and go buy vegetables."

Li Anning sat up from the bed. The beauty just woke up and stretched her body.

The small shirt she was wearing was lifted up high with her movement, revealing a slender and white waist and a faintly visible belly button.

Li Nuo lowered his head silently.

This was not something he could see.

Li Anning also realized something, pulled her clothes down, and got out of bed as if nothing had happened.

Her face was just slightly red, because the most embarrassing thing had been done last night.

When she was about to fetch water to wash, she suddenly remembered that the makeup on her face was carefully painted by the woman whose figure was not as good as hers. If she washed her face, wouldn’t it be exposed?

But she hadn’t washed her face for two days, and she felt really uncomfortable.

Seeing her in a daze in front of the water tank, Li Nuo knew what she was thinking and said, "If you want to wash your face, wash it."

Li Anning turned around and asked, "What about the makeup on your face?"

Li Nuo said, "It doesn't matter, the makeup on your face has been smudged, and you have to repaint it anyway."

Li Anning asked in confusion, "How to paint it, secretly invite that woman?"

Li Nuo said, "Don't worry about this, I have my own way."

There were spies around, so it was impossible to secretly invite Phoenix, but since a few days of life had been consumed, one or two days would not matter.

Li Nuo's mind moved, and a portrait on the code instantly lit up.

Although Li An Ning didn't know what Li Nuo could do, the most comfortable thing about following him in handling cases was that she didn't need to ask why, she just had to do what he said.

After washing her face with water, the young and beautiful princess appeared in front of Li Nuo again.

Although Song Yu's family was poor, he was really good to his wife.

There was a small dressing table at the head of the bed in the bedroom. Rouge, powder, pure fat eyebrow pencil... and other women's makeup items were all available on the dressing table, but the quality was average. A few pieces of rouge paper from Fenghuang could buy all the things on the dressing table.

The conditions were limited, and at this time, there was no need to be so particular.

When Li Nuo asked Li An Ning to sit in front of the dressing table, she realized something and asked in disbelief: "Are you going to put on makeup for me?"

Li Nuo asked: "What else?"

Li An Ning questioned: "Can you do it?"

Li Nuo didn't say much, just said: "You'll know if you try it."

Although Fenghuang's makeup skills are good, there is still some gap compared to Zheng Yuanwai's concubine.

Li Nuo's hands painted here and there on Li An Ning's face. Soon, her beautiful face was covered and restored to the way it was yesterday.

Li An Ning stared at herself in the bronze mirror blankly. He could accurately restore the makeup of yesterday. His normal makeup skills would not be bad.

She couldn't help asking: "Do you often put on makeup for your wife?"

Li Nuo said while helping her trim her eyebrows: "No, this is also the first time I put on makeup for a woman."

Although the first time was for Mu'er and the second time was for Ning'er...

But they are all girls, not women.

Li An Ning actually just asked casually. His wife didn't let him hug her, let alone put on makeup. For men and women, this is more intimate than hugging.

It was also the first time for her to hold a man's hand, the first time for a man to hold her, and the first time for a man to put on makeup for her.

Speaking of which, the two pretended to be a couple for two days, and it seemed that many precious first times were gone...

If it was just her first time, she would still have a little grudge in her heart.

But if it was the first time for both of them, it didn't seem so regretful.

A moment later, Li Anning held Li Nuo's hand and walked out of the house.

At the corner of the street not far away, two beggars lying on the ground saw this, got up from the ground, and slowly followed the two.

Li Nuo immediately noticed the two people following him. Not only these two beggars, he also noticed that two passers-by in the crowd and a peddler carrying a load were all sent by the thieves to monitor him.

In his mind, he had already begun to automatically think about how to get rid of them.

Of course, it was impossible to get rid of them, he just wanted them to watch in secret.

But this familiar feeling made Li Nuo confused, as if he had had a similar feeling when the portrait of Zheng Yuanwai's concubine was still lit last time.

This should not be a coincidence.

Obviously, Zheng Yuanwai's concubine, in addition to being good at shuttlecock kicking and beautifully made up, also has strong reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities.

Top female spies are no better than this.

But at this moment, Li Nuo had no time to wonder about this matter. After buying vegetables with Li An Ning, they returned home together.

Song Yu and his wife usually cook at home.

It's okay to eat in a restaurant once in a while, but if you eat every day, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

You can't count on Her Royal Highness the Princess to cook.

Li Nuo used to live alone in a rented house. Although he ate takeout most of the time, he would cook when he didn't want to eat takeout.

His cooking skills were just so-so. He couldn't compare to a chef, but he was better than Fenghuang who could only cook. He could cook a few ordinary home-cooked dishes.

Not long after, the two who had been busy for half a day sat at the small table in the yard, looking a little embarrassed.

Li Nuo's hair was stained with some flour.

Li Anning's face was black and white because she was responsible for making the fire.

There were only three simple dishes and one soup on the table. Because there was no rice, Li Nuo only cooked two bowls of clear soup noodles.

Li Anning picked up a stir-fried vegetable, tasted it, and her beautiful eyes lit up slightly. She said in surprise: "Your cooking skills are not bad!"

Although this dish was not as good as the delicacies of the Princess's Mansion, it had a different taste.

Li Nuo knew very well how good his cooking skills were.

These dishes were not bad, but far from being "good".

Perhaps it was because the two of them worked together to prepare this meal, so the meaning was different and the taste was naturally different.

Li Anning glanced at Li Nuo and asked, "Is this your first time cooking?"

Li Nuo said honestly, "You are the first person in the world to taste my cooking skills."

Li Anning smiled, and then felt a little embarrassed.

Song Jiaren is his wife.

But all of his first times were taken away by himself.

But she can't be blamed for this.

This is all to eliminate the robbery organization, improve public security, and give the people of Chang'an a bright sky.

As a member of the Fa family, since you have chosen to join the game, you must be aware of making some sacrifices.

After lunch, the two washed the dishes together again.

Li Anning asked, "What shall we do in the afternoon?"

Li Nuo thought for a while and said, "I'll take you shopping in the afternoon to buy some good rouge, powder, jewelry, etc...."

These things are in line with the mentality of the poor who have become rich or are about to become rich.

If you stay at home and do nothing, it will seem abnormal.

This is a slum area. Even if there are shops on the street, they are of the lowest level, which does not meet Li Nuo's requirements. He took Li An Ning and hired a carriage to the farther East City.

This is a gathering place for dignitaries. Of course, he can't afford the highest-end shops.

But Li Nuo bought a lot of mid-range products.

Watching the two people walk into the store, one of the people not far away wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help saying: "It's really a countryman coming to the city. Such a person can actually become the chief..."

Another person said: "Don't complain, kid. If you become the chief, it will be more exaggerated than this..."

The man touched his head and said: "That's right. If it were me, I would definitely live in a brothel these days and not wear clothes for three days and three nights!"

The companions around him looked at him with contempt and said: "You only have this virtue. Look at the chief seat Song, how good and loyal he is to his wife..."

Another place on the street

The woman in white was holding the hand of a little girl, walking on the street. Song Muer licked a candied haws and asked, "Sister Jiaren, where is Brother Li Nuo? I haven't seen him for several days..."

Song Jiaren only knew that Li Nuo was investigating a case these days, and she didn't know the specific situation.

Although the two were husband and wife, they didn't have much in common.

Her eyes lingered on a couple passing by.

From their clothes, although they were not from a wealthy family, they looked very loving. The wife always held her husband's hand, and the man looked at his wife with love in his eyes.

Until the two disappeared, she held Muer's hand and continued to walk forward.

After walking a few steps, her steps suddenly stopped.

Then she turned around and looked at the direction where the couple disappeared with some doubts.

For some reason, she didn't know the couple, but they always gave her a very familiar feeling...
