I am a consultant in Kaifeng

Feeling very messy, Yang Silang left, and Zhan Zhao walked over slowly.

Du Xiaoning turned her head to look at him, with a smile in her phoenix eyes, "Master Zhan is here."

Zhan Zhao silently nodded.

Speaking of which, when he didn't know that Du Xiaoning was a daughter, he liked Du Xiaoning in his heart, and he was also entangled and hesitant, but he didn't know what to do as he is now.

Du Xiaoning's daughter's affairs seemed to have drawn a boundary between each other, so that he did not dare to cross the threshold.

Du Xiaoning looked at Zhan Zhao and suddenly smiled.

Zhan Zhao looked at her and asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"

Du Xiaoning: "I'm still the old me, but Mr. Zhan doesn't know how to treat me?"

Zhan Zhao: ""

Du Xiaoning teased him with a smile, "Isn't Mr. Zhan still responsible for me? But your appearance makes me feel that you are unwilling."

Zhan Zhao: "Who says I'm not willing, I just—"

There was a pause, but no further words.

He is not unwilling, if Du Xiaoning and him are in love, he will wish for it.

He thought about it for a long time last night. The time he spent with Du Xiaoning was not short. He knew all kinds of Du Xiaoning, the sly one who loved to laugh, the gentle and considerate one. He liked Du Xiaoning.

Regardless of whether Du Xiaoning is a man or a woman, he is the one he likes.

But Du Xiaoning has always appeared in front of people as the third son, at least, she does not yearn for the life that ordinary women have.She also said that because of the current world, women can't gain a foothold like men, so she will disguise themselves as men.

Zhan Zhao likes Du Xiaoning and wants to get her, but if Du Xiaoning is unhappy, everything is just his wishful thinking.

It was better for Du Xiaoning to be happy than to be unhappy.

Zhan Zhao sat down beside Du Xiaoning, and together with her, looked at the few feng shui fish in the feng shui pool.

The man sitting next to him was handsome and upright, making it hard to ignore.

Du Xiaoning has always admired and liked Zhan Zhao in his heart.

Zhan Zhao's thoughts are so obvious, and she is not a fool, how could she not be clear?It's just because of my identity and various reasons, I can't point it out.

By now, Zhan Zhao already knew that she was a daughter.

She really doesn't need Zhan Zhao to be responsible for it, but what if the two are happy?

Du Xiaoning was thinking about these things in her heart when she suddenly heard Zhan Zhao calling her.

"Xiao Ning."

Du Xiaoning looked at him.

Zhan Zhao: "Today Wang Mingquan and Shou Wang went to Kaifeng Mansion to look for Mr. Bao."

Du Xiaoning: "What is it for?"

Zhan Zhao: "Because of the fire in Moxiangju."

Du Xiaoning raised her eyebrows slightly.

Zhan Zhao smiled, and said: "Wang Mingquan said that the fire in Moxiangju was caused by his concubine's anger at him, and made people burn in a fit of anger, it has nothing to do with others."

Du Xiaoning gave a soft "ah" and said with a smile: "It seems that Wang Mingquan really likes Chaoyun. She burned Moxiangju to the ground, and Wang Mingquan didn't get angry."

"What about you?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Are you angry when she pushed you into the lake?"

Speaking of this, Du Xiaoning was really not angry.

In Du Xiaoning's heart, Chaoyun, a young woman, was extraordinary.

Du Xiaoning said to Zhan Zhao: "Before Mr. Zhan came, I was still talking about Chaoyun with Shiro. She was redeemed by Wang Mingquan within three days after she arrived in Fanghua Building. Later, she set up a trap for Yang Silang through the Zhanjin Pavilion." She had already planned to let him bring those two paintings to me. I think she came to me because she had some clues in her hand, and those clues should have something to do with Wang Mingquan."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Wang Mingquan's daughter is somewhat similar to Chaoyun's sister."

Du Xiaoning was stunned. Combined with her own experience, she suddenly felt that the whole world was filled with similar people.

Zhan Zhao: "Chaoyun thought Princess Shou was her older sister, and she had people set fire to Moxiangju, because she wanted Princess Shou to take this opportunity to go back to her natal home to visit Wang Mingquan, and she wanted to take this opportunity to test Princess Shou. According to Wang Mingquan, Shiro sent you the painting because of Chaoyun's illness and rushed to the doctor, and she wanted to use you to find out whether Princess Shou is Wang Mingquan's biological daughter."

Du Xiaoning blushed, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Do I look so easy to deceive?"

Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing, and he continued: "It's not because you are easy to deceive, she just knows that you have stayed in Duan Wang's mansion for a while, and Duan Wang and Shou Wang are brothers, if you are willing to help, maybe it will be more useful than others."

Du Xiaoning was silent.

Just because Chaoyun was whimsical, her identity was exposed.

Du Xiaoning didn't want to care about Chao Yun's affairs, nor did she want to know where Peng Laike's lost daughter was now.

She just looked at Zhan Zhao with a smile, and asked softly, "Master Zhan, don't you wonder why I was in Prince Duan's Mansion when I was young?"

Zhan Zhao turned his head sideways, his deep and beautiful black eyes were exceptionally bright at this moment, he looked at Du Xiaoning for a while, and then said in a low voice: "If you are willing to tell, I naturally want to know. If you are not willing to tell, then I'm not curious."

Zhan Zhao's answer made Du Xiaoning very happy.

During the time when she was in Prince Duan's mansion, she also followed King Duan in the appearance of a young man. Many people mistakenly thought that Prince Duan was a manly man, and for a while there were people who wanted to please King Duan, and they all sent beautiful boys to Prince Duan's mansion. .

In fact, appearing in front of people as the third son of the Du family, there are still many people pointing behind their backs, saying that the third son of the Du family was once a prostitute of King Duan.

Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, staying in Duan Wang's mansion for some time and then leaving for no reason, in the eyes of many people, is a puzzling thing, which can make up a lot of gossip.

Du Xiaoning didn't have to explain to Zhan Zhao, but she didn't want Zhan Zhao to misunderstand.

So, she told Zhan Zhao exactly why she was taken in by Prince Duan, and why she left Prince Duan's mansion later.

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao was silent for a long while, then smiled and said, "So, it seems that the third young master is not only backed by Du Shangshu, but also has King Duan behind him."

"What? Master Zhan is scared?"

Zhan Zhao looked at her with a smile, and asked, "Is it important to you whether I'm afraid or not?"

Du Xiaoning met his gaze, and the two looked at each other for a moment, Du Xiaoning said with a smile: "The adoptive father knows."

Zhan Zhao:? ? ?

Du Xiaoning: "Not only Prince Duan knew about the fact that you picked me up from the lake yesterday, but also my adoptive father. Perhaps soon, the adoptive father will find you."

Zhan Zhao thought of Du Shangshu's cold face, and felt a little complicated.

He really hoped that Du Shangshu would find him, but if Du Xiaoning was only willing to let him take charge because of Du Shangshu, then it's better not to.

Zhan Zhao hopes that if one day he has to be responsible, it will only be due to Du Xiaoning's willingness to let him be responsible, not out of various helplessness in reality.

He thought that when Du Xiaoning was a man, he could restrain himself.Now that Du Xiaoning is a woman, he should take care of himself even more.

Du Xiaoning said again: "I promised my adoptive father that as long as someone knows my identity, I will leave from Kaifeng mansion. During this time, Master Bao will give me a holiday. After the holiday, I will not go back to Kaifeng mansion."

Thinking that he might not be able to see Du Xiaoning in Kaifeng Mansion in the future, Zhan Zhao felt lost and melancholy.

He had all kinds of feelings in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He just nodded slightly and asked, "What about Chaoyun?"

"I don't care about her affairs." Du Xiaoning smiled at Zhan Zhao, and said softly: "But Princess Shou will not be the daughter of Peng Laike. Ten years is a long time for a girl. Peng Laike If your daughter is still alive, she would have gone to find Peng Laike long ago."

His father was a well-known figure in the painting circle, so it was easy to find him.

But Peng Laike's daughter has never looked for him, and Peng Laike has never gone to Bianjing to find his daughter. The reason for this can be understood after a little thought, but Chaoyun doesn't know why.

There are so many puzzling people and things in the world, and Du Xiaoning has no interest in exploring them one by one.

She sat on the rattan chair by the Fengshui pool, pondered for a while, and then said to Zhan Zhao: "Master Zhan, I am not in Kaifeng Mansion anymore, I will be in Baiwei Study."

Zhan Zhao was silent.

Du Xiaoning said again: "Master Zhan, if he wants, he can come and see him often."

Zhan Zhao looked up at her in surprise.

Du Xiaoning and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, seemingly calm, but his face turned red.She pursed her lips, and said softly to Zhan Zhao: "I can actually live a good life by myself, and I don't need anyone to be responsible for seeing through my identity.

Zhan Zhao said with a blank face, "Oh".

The ups and downs of mood are nothing new to Mr. Zhan.

Du Xiaoning lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "But Mr. Zhan has always been different from others in my heart. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to spend time with Mr. Zhan."

Zhan Zhao: ""

"Master Zhan, I can't be as gentle and obedient as the girls next to me, nor can I be as content as they are in the back room. I may show my face, or I may continue to run the study. Do you think it's okay to do what the young master has done?"

Zhan Zhao was a little stunned at first, but then he came back to his senses and realized the meaning of Du Xiaoning's words.

He looked at Du Xiaoning without blinking, and asked, "Xiaoning, have you really thought about it?"

Du Xiaoning's posture seemed calm, but his face and ear tips were involuntarily stained pink.

She nodded slightly and said "hmm".

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao suddenly laughed loudly.

He stood up and really wanted to go over and hug Du Xiaoning who was sitting on the rattan chair, but he thought that Du Xiaoning belonged to a girl, so he had no choice but to give up.

He looked at Du Xiaoning, and for a long while, put his hands on the armrests of Du Xiaoning's rattan chair.

Zhan Zhao said, "Of course I can. I liked you even before I knew you were a woman."

Du Xiaoning laughed heartily when he heard his words.

She raised her hand and put it on the back of Zhan Zhao's.

Sensing her actions, Zhan Zhao was slightly taken aback, and then wrapped her hand around his palm.

Du Xiaoning looked down at the hand that was being held by her, and an emotion that she had never felt before filled her heart, which made her feel novel and expectant.

Then, she heard her own voice—

"Okay, then you are responsible to me."
