Liu Hong felt that it was strange that the young miss of the Zhongshu Officer Palace was actually so familiar with the streets and alleys of the Shangjing City. Why does it seem like the young miss of the Zhongshu Officer Palace had grown up on this street? Along the way, he even warmly greeted many vendors.

At this moment, Liu Hong was actually being led by Nangong Waner through the streets of Shangjing City, as the sound of various stalls hawking could be heard. Nangong Waner would turn his head to look from time to time, but he did not linger too much, as he looked on the expression on his face … No money?!

Nangong Waner led Liu Hong through the streets and alleys before finally walking straight up to a tea stall and sitting down. The feeling was random, as if he had returned to his own home, and at this time, it was already afternoon, and the streets were filled with crowds of people, and the tea stall was filled with people. When someone saw that Nangong Waner had arrived, they seemed to actually be very familiar with him, so they consciously placed a handful of melon seeds in front of him.

The person at the stall started to narrate the gossip vividly, talking about how the eldest daughter of the Zhongshu Officer Palace actually did not die, but that was more or less it. She was afflicted with an illness and was unable to escape the calamity, but she was lucky enough to get the Prince Zhan's help to treat her, and today someone had personally witnessed the Prince Zhan carrying the dying Nangong Waner into the Duke Palace.

Liu Hong could not help but twitch her face. She looked at Nangong Waner, and Nangong Waner was actually listening to the gossip with great interest.

Liu Hong could not help but admire in his heart, the young miss of the Zhongshu Officer Palace was indeed not an ordinary person.

Nangong Waner seemed to have felt Liu Hong's gaze, he turned and spoke to Liu Hong in a low voice, ”I like to listen to my gossips the most. I used to come and listen every day. I was sometimes dead, sometimes alive, sometimes silly, sometimes sober. Today, however, there was something new. I was half dead. But I believe that given enough time, I will definitely be saved by the Prince Zhan! ” Nangong Waner could not help but laugh.

Not long after, the gossip-monger left due to family matters, and the others began to gossip about other matters. The concubine who stole the information was the younger brother of the one who stole the information. There was an old lady in the main house of Shangjing's Palace. She was still young and hadn't even married out for twenty years, but her parents were worried. Nangong Waner was not very interested in her, but after listening for a while, he pulled Liu Hong and left.

After walking for a while, Nangong Waner saw that it was neither early nor late, and decided to eat outside. He then led Liu Hong to the Four Seasons Garden and ordered two roasted pig's feet that she yearned for in her heart. He gave one to Liu Hong and ordered a hot dish and a vegetable dish, indicating for Liu Hong to sit and eat together with them.

What Liu Hong had taught him from the Duke Palace's etiquette, naturally he did not want to do so. Nangong Waner replied, ”There's no need to be that formal, and I'm not even the Miss of the Duke's Palace. I'm destined to be with you, so why not become your sworn sister?”

Liu Hong naturally knew that this was a half-truth half-joke on Nangong Waner's part, but looking at Nangong Waner's casual and easygoing attitude, and the sincere tone in his voice, Liu Hong was still moved in his heart. Nangong Waner didn't have any difference in levels to others. However, Liu Hong still adhered to his duty and refused to sit down.

Nangong Waner could only sigh, ”I already spent money on it, if you don't eat it, it will be so cold that it will not taste good. I can only throw it away, and waste my silver, I naturally want it from your master.”

When Liu Hong heard the two words ”Duke”, he was so scared that his face turned green and he immediately sat down to eat. However, when Nangong Waner saw her expression, it was as if she was eating poison.

Nangong Waner sighed in his heart. Forget it, he had done bad things again.
