Lord Assistant Minister's face became even paler, ”This, what if the Duke finds out?”
Nangong Waner thought that something was wrong with the Lord Assistant Minister as he remained calm and collected, ”Oh, this, he told me to take it, I had to take it.” With that said, Nangong Waner lowered his head and started to eat again.
Hearing Nangong Waner's words, Lord Assistant Minister's face instantly became better, ”I never would have thought that Prince Zhan would look so cold and scary, but I'm actually robbing of wealth to help the poor, robbing of my own wealth, I'm doing this for the poor in Assistant Minister’s Residence.” Thinking about it this way, Lord Assistant Minister felt that his loyalty to Prince Zhan had increased by another two points.
In the afternoon, Nangong Waner was sitting in his courtyard reading, but he was making fun of her, ”Miss, your visit to the Wang Mansion is really different, it really is a bit scholarly. The books you are reading are also different, it is not about drawing books, but reading ancient scriptures.” Saying that, Ju Xiang also moved closer, looking at the book, he felt that it was extremely strange, ”Miss, what is this? I don't understand a word. ”
Nangong Waner was looking at it seriously, and only reacted after a long time had passed, he raised his head and said slowly, ”This is the life time research of the Elder Xiu, it's related to an ancient legend. This book is《 The Secret History of Qingqiu》, and it's written in a unique language, so you can't understand it, although I'm Xiu Mu at home, the Elder Xiu has set up lessons for me.
Just as they were talking, the servant girl from Nangong Ruyu's courtyard brought in a few cakes and walked in. When she saw Nangong Waner, she bowed respectfully and placed the cakes on the table, then said, ”Young miss, our young miss was out on the streets yesterday, and saw a new snack shop. She went to buy some for the liveliness, and told me to bring you and grandma to have a taste.”
When the servant walked out of the courtyard, Nangong Waner was still frozen in place, as if he was petrified. Ju Xiang had been kind enough to come and call out to her, ”Young miss, young miss, what happened to you?”
was finally back to reality after being shouted at by Ju Xiang. He turned his face to the side and looked at the piece of cake on the table with a sideways glance, carefully poking at it with his finger, as if biting off her finger with a poke.
Seeing Nangong Waner's actions, Ju Xiang's face twitched uncontrollably, ”Miss, what are you doing?”
Nangong Waner looked at Ju Xiang, and said with a serious expression, ”Ju Xiang, why is the Emperor of Nan Gong Ruyu so abnormal, I suspect that she had poisoned the area around here.” With that, Nangong Waner pointed to the pastry on the table.
Ju Xiang couldn't help but roll his eyes at Nangong Waner, ”Miss, Second Miss doesn't have any ill intentions towards you, you can eat without worry.” With that, Ju Xiang went over and unwrapped the pastries.
Nangong Waner picked up a piece of meat and slowly put it in his mouth, feeling that the taste was indeed good, ”What did you say? Why did Nangong Ruyu suddenly change sex with me? ”
Ju Xiang's face was a little unbearable, he lowered his voice and said slowly, ”The master and mistress placed their own daughter in the Prince Zhan's Mansion and turned a deaf ear, so much that when their daughter went back to the house, she did not think that there was actually such a daughter. The news had spread throughout the entire Assistant Minister’s Residence, so the Second Miss … ”Pity you, miss.” Ju Xiang's last few words came out quickly, after finishing his sentence he quickly turned his head to look elsewhere, but he did not dare to look back at his young miss.
Indeed, Nangong Waner's face was cold and his eyes shone with a vicious light. Nangong Waner ruthlessly picked up a rose cake and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it twice.
”Ju Xiang! Tell Lord Assistant Minister that I won't be eating tonight! I plan to starve myself to death and make my father and mother go down in history for mistreating their own daughter! ” Nangong Waner shouted out each word, causing his entire body to tremble.
