C39 (1/2)

Ever since Prince Zhan had eaten an unusual meal in Nangong Waner's courtyard that day, Nangong Waner had not seen any trace of Prince Zhan at all.

The Lord Assistant Minister knew that the Prince Zhan had been very busy in recent days, but he was actually very happy that the Prince Zhan had not come to the Assistant Minister’s Residence for guidance for a few days. In the past few days, the Emperor was very satisfied with the Lord Assistant Minister's performance, although he could not raise his salary, but he gave it a bonus, causing the Lord Assistant Minister to be very happy.

The matter of Nangong Waner being grounded was resolved in a moment of happiness.

Originally, Nangong Waner was depressed because he had lost an experienced kitchen boy. On the other hand, the Lord Assistant Minister had secretly given him some pocket money and even released him from his confinement, allowing him to properly make up for his loss.

Nangong Waner was extremely happy, and he began to flatter Lord Assistant Minister very skillfully.

In order to commemorate his return, Nangong Waner paid a visit to the Eight Corner Alley in Shangjing City two rounds. Not buying anything, he turned around to listen to the hawkers selling the most bustling streets of Shangjing City, and smelt the enticing aroma of food coming from the most delicious place in Shangjing City.

”Miss, something seems to have happened on the street ahead. There are so many people surrounding us that we can't get past the carriage.” Ju Xiang reported from outside the carriage.

Nangong Waner lifted up the curtain on the window and looked. The street in front of him was fully surrounded by people, and although he couldn't see what was happening inside, he could see that it was definitely blocking the carriage.

”Let's go take a look.” After Nangong Waner finished speaking, he pulled up the curtain and jumped down with one hand holding onto the carriage.

”Miss, you have to pay attention to your image in the outside world. Don't add material to the gossip circles for no reason.” Ju Xiang watched as Nangong Waner stayed in the manor for a few days, and suddenly felt elated as if he was a wild horse that had been freed from its rein.

However, Nangong Waner didn't think much of it and curled his lips, ”What's wrong with me giving Shangjing City's Gossip Circle a healthy image with my lifelike appearance? Tomorrow, City's Gossip Circle would probably spread: Miss Assistant Minister’s Residence came out of the haze of lovelorn and left home to be a good person from the start!”

Ju Xiang, who was initially anxious, laughed after hearing his young miss's words. Seeing that her attitude towards watching the show had long disappeared, Ju Xiang quickly chased after her.

Nangong Waner and Ju Xiang ran very quickly, but the carriage was stuck at the side of the road, and because there were too many people surrounding the carriage, the carriage could not move forward. Soon after, a carriage arrived, and Assistant Minister’s Residence's carriage was stuck there.

”Master, our carriage is blocked by a carriage.” The master and servant of the carriage in front has gone to watch the show. It should be because the crowd is blocking the way, so why don't I go and call for you? ” A young boy dressed in a long robe appeared to be almost mature. He had a scholarly air to him. From the looks of it, he was probably from a large family.

The young master did not show any signs of impatience because of the sudden stop of the carriage, nor did he show any emotions because of the attendant's words. On the contrary, he appeared as gentle as ever, and bowed to his servant in a very polite tone, ”Of course not, I've just heard the conversation of the master and servant of the carriage in front. I'm afraid that something has happened, so I'll go with you to check it out, otherwise this traffic will be very difficult.”

He then got off the carriage and led the personal attendant towards the crowd, saying that this young master was wearing a light blue cotton robe, and was walking very steadily. Although he had a scholarly aura, his warm, jade-like appearance gave off a trace of masculinity, and he was most likely not an ordinary scholar.

Furthermore, when Nangong Waner got off the carriage, he immediately ran towards the densely packed crowd of spectators. Even though he was rather tall, he could not block the crowd as he jumped a few times.

In the blink of an eye, he thought of a way. He took out a few copper coins from Ju Xiang's money bag and threw it on the ground, then shouted towards the surrounding people, ”Aiyaya, whose money is it? ”Whose money dropped all over the floor.” After saying so, she kicked the copper coin that she had just thrown at her feet, causing it to roll on the ground crisply.
