Chapter 452 Old acquaintance
"Why is your Excellency here?"
"But you heard that there were officials' families and servants causing trouble here, so you came here specially?"
Qi Yaner, who was hiding, almost bit her teeth to pieces.
Listen! Listen to what you say!
Two-faced, inconsistent, hypocritical!!
"Officials' families causing trouble?"
The master rested his hand on the knife on his waist, "Miss Bai, tell me which official's wife is causing trouble. I can take them back as well."
Bai Zhiyi's expression froze for a moment.
She could not think of any other reason why the people from the Dali Temple came here except that she heard that there was trouble caused by the family of an official, so she prepared to use her usual method to trick Qi Yan'er.
Unexpectedly, the people in the Dali Temple seemed to be unaware of this...
Now, if she said it, her previous image of a kind person in the capital would be gone; if she didn't say it, she would still have a reputation of being a hypocrite if she lied to the officials in the Dali Temple. If it got serious... it would be reported to the court, and it might even affect her family's reputation...
This way, the Queen Mother will have even more leverage to send her to the Fourth Prince to be some crappy concubine!
The more he thought about it, the wetter Bai Zhiyi's back became.
"this…"
She was like a delicate flower, with red eyes and a frightened and confused look.
Is this a step forward in preparation for retreat?
There was a flash of disgust in the eyes of the official who came. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that he was bullying the officials' families in the street!
"Since Miss Bai can't tell me, I will just assume that she doesn't exist..."
He walked two or three steps in front of Qi Shanyuan and the others, bowed and saluted, his tone was normal but also a little intimate, "Since you have come to the capital, why don't you go to the mansion first? Lord Wu is waiting for you!"
His words were like thunderclaps from a clear sky, shocking everyone present.
This student is actually related to the Chief Justice of Dali Temple?
Qi Yan'er on the pavilion really felt weak in the knees.
It’s over. Who did she offend?
Bai Zhiyi was stunned. "Young Master...Young Master is from Lord Wu's residence?"
She had been following them since they entered the city. It was obvious that this group of people were just scientific research students from other places and had no identity or background!
Qi Shanyuan raised his eyebrows, maybe.
He didn't say anything, so as to avoid telling lies that wouldn't match those of the people sent by Lord Wu.
The gentleman sneered, "If it's not from Lord Wu's house, could it be from Lord Bai's house?"
"How come I don't know that Lord Wu has a connection with Miss Bai's ancestors..."
This is hard to hear~
Doesn't this imply that Bai Zhiyi wants to establish a relationship with the Wu family?
Bai Zhiyi's face turned red with shame, her eyes were even redder, and she knelt down to the adults in grievance.
"I just saw that you were in trouble and came to lend a hand..."
"Since the young master has nothing to do now, Zhiyi will also return home."
She turned around and looked at Qi Shanyuan with a reluctant look.
Tsk tsk…
Jiang An stretched his neck and said, "You are quite popular~"
Qi Shanyuan looked helpless and a little aggrieved, "You are teasing me too..."
"Ancestors, let's go!"
The adult in golden armor winked at the little girl and smiled happily.
"Hehe~"
Jiang An jumped up to him and said, "Master Wu...how did you know that we had entered the capital, and how did you arrive so timely?"
This adult knows the character of this little ancestor too well.
He said quietly, "Little Ancestor, are you trying to say that if I were any later, you would have killed everyone?"
Jiang An slapped his armor and said carelessly: "You still understand me!"
"The prince has sent a message to my master a long time ago, so there have been people guarding the city gate these days..."
As soon as Jiang An enters the city, they will come to pick him up immediately.
But now it seems that I have to go to the city gate myself and block it!
They walked away quickly, leaving the crowd of onlookers to speculate wildly about the identities of Jiang An and his companions.
That’s the Golden Guard of Dali Temple!
Ever since the Golden Guards entered the palace to protect the emperor during the last rebellion, they are now more prestigious than the Red Feather Army in the palace!
Anyone who dares to say a word about the Dali Temple or the Golden Guards will be reprimanded by His Majesty in front of all the officials in the court!
And the leader is Wu Heting's confidant...
Not to mention being as friendly and casual as that little girl, even if the Minister personally spoke to him, he might not bother to pay attention!
Who are they?
The Qi and Bai families have hit a wall today!
When they arrived at the Wu Mansion, Wu Heting was already waiting in the front hall. He knew everything that happened on the street.
"Master Wu~"
Jiang An took off his hat and showed his head outside the door, looking mischievous.
Wu Heting raised his eyes, but the smile on his lips couldn't be maintained.
"As expected of you, you stir up some trouble as soon as you arrive in Kyoto!"
He teased, without any hint of blame in his tone.
"Hehe~"
The little girl walked into the hall and took a cup of tea and drank it swiftly.
"This time it's not me, it's Yuan Yuan!"
Jiang An smiled evilly and patted Qi Shanyuan on the shoulder, "Our Yuanyuan is so welcome!"
Qi Shanyuan smiled apologetically at Wu Heting, "Greetings, Master Wu..."
Li Xingsang and Huo Changming, the idiot who ran straight to the table for tea and snacks, also hurried to greet him, "Hello, Lord Wu."
Wu Heting looked at these young people and smiled happily, "Don't be so polite, An An and I are old acquaintances!"
Qi Shanyuan and Li Xingsang looked at each other. Why did they feel that Lord Wu's words were somewhat harsh?
"Cough cough..."
The little girl touched the tip of her nose and smiled guiltily.
"Hey, let's eat, let's eat~"
She blinked her round eyes and held her stomach pitifully, "Is there any food?"
Wu Heting snorted, "Yes!"
The evening meal was booked long ago by Lord Wu from the best restaurant in Beijing, and every dish is a Beijing specialty.
As the old saying goes, the little brat will eat me out of my house...
Wu Heting held the chopsticks and looked at the empty table with a dazed expression.
Are you... done eating already?
Huo Changming touched his half-full stomach and commented sharply: "It tastes good, but it's a little too delicate."
With such a feast, he can order another table!
The little girl was so absorbed in eating that she had no time to pay attention to anyone.
Wu Heting called the housekeeper, "Please prepare some midnight snacks in the kitchen..."
He was afraid that the child would wake up hungry in the middle of the night.
After dinner, they returned to the courtyard arranged by Lord Wu to rest.
The little girl slept until noon the next day, while the others spent the whole day packing their bags.
Therefore, they had no idea that rumors about Qi Shanyuan were spreading outside the mansion!
Everyone was curious about how this handsome student looked that two young ladies wanted to snatch him away in the street.
This group of people certainly includes the Queen Mother in the palace!
