Chapter 286 Handing Over the Dowry

The people did not talk about Nan Jiao, but looked at her with admiration and worship. They did not expect that she would be the leader of the Shura Sect who would help the weak and fight against the strong.

Her ability to help others had spread far and wide.

Nan Jiao felt the gazes of the people and felt particularly good. She had never regretted anything she had done, even though she had offended many people.

But I can no longer act under a disguise.

By now, the whole mainland probably knows that she is the leader of Shura Sect.

"You're famous again." Zhan Beiheng chuckled.

"It seems that I have been becoming famous since I returned to the capital. At first, I was a scumbag and a wicked woman, then I married you, and then it was revealed that I had an illegitimate daughter. Now I am the leader of Shura Sect."

A bright smile appeared on Nan Jiao's fair and moist face.

Zhan Beiheng thought about the past and found it very strange. He held her hand tighter. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Nan Jiao could clearly feel his hand strength suddenly increase, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhan Beiheng frowned and was about to say that he was fine, but he finally confessed, "I suddenly felt some discomfort in my chest, but it's nothing serious."

Nan Jiao immediately pulled him to the nearest stall to sit down.

"Is it the snake that's acting up?"

"I don't know if it is true, but I was very calm just now." Zhan Beiheng told the truth. He said he would be honest with her, so he could not hide it anymore.

Nan Jiao held his hand and felt his pulse, which was a little disordered.

Isn't it said that you have to be emotional to have an attack?

Why is it happening now?

Is it so serious that he would have an outburst even if he tried to control his emotions?

Zhan Beiheng looked down at her. The woman's palm-sized face was tense and solemn. He reached out and covered her hand, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

The pain was indeed gone now.

Nan Jiao looked up at her, "Is it really not painful anymore?"

Zhan Beiheng looked at her and said, "Yeah."

After hearing what he said, Nan Jiao was worried, fearing that the condition would become serious and he would have to suffer a lot more.

Yoyo hasn't made the dragon balls yet, so she can't rush him. She thinks he might be more anxious than her.

"Let's go home." Zhan Beiheng pulled her up, his eyes and eyebrows full of tenderness.

"Okay." Nan Jiao showed a charming smile on her face.

When the two returned to the palace, the lights were brightly lit. All the lanterns were replaced with new ones today, and there were many more blooming flowers.

Nan Jiao just realized that it was almost New Year’s Eve.

This is the first year that the four of them have spent together.

"Cousin, you're back." Xue Miaoyin, who was admiring the lights in the garden, saw them come back and walked over with a sweet smile.

"You haven't slept yet?" Nan Jiao asked.

"I can't sleep. The palace replaced the lantern with a new one today, so I came out to take a look." Xue Miaoyin said casually.

Nan Jiao looked at the beautiful lantern. It was indeed very pretty. Yoyo and Baoer would definitely like it. "Go back early. We are leaving first."

After saying that, she pulled Zhan Beiheng away.

It seems that this Miss Xue is interested in fighting Bei Heng, otherwise she would not have happened to come to admire the lanterns on the road they had to pass by. After all, the palace is so big.

She looked up at the man.

The sculptured face is sharp and handsome, with a high nose bridge, righteous eyebrows and eyes, and a tight jawline that is clear, smooth and sexy.

The whole person is calm and dignified, and has an aura of murderousness and dominance, giving people a sense of abstinence that cannot be stopped.

"What are you looking at?" Zhan Beiheng's eyes were dark and deep, with a bright light in them.

"You look good." Nan Jiao praised generously.

Zhan Beiheng stopped and looked at her with his dark eyes. The woman's eyebrows and eyes were clear and pure, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were bright and smiling, and her red lips were charming.

Next second.

He bent down and kissed her on the lips.

Nan Jiao wanted to refuse, but the man was so domineering and strong that he held her in his arms, leaving her unable to resist.

Zhan Beiheng held the woman's slender waist with one hand and the back of her head with the other, kissing her gently, lingeringly and fiercely, as if he wanted to devour her.

It would hurt anyway even if he wasn't moved, and right now he just wanted to kiss her.

Now, he finally understood why some men and women were so creepy. When they were really in love, they would subconsciously want to get closer to each other.

Nan Jiao looked helpless.

It's not that she doesn't want to kiss him, it's that she's afraid of his temper.

Next second.

The silver needle in her hand stabbed into the back of his neck.

Zhan Beiheng groaned and had to let her go, his handsome face tense, "You..."

Nan Jiao said sternly with a cold face: "If you dare to kiss me again next time, I will dare to prick you. Don't you know your body? You are not afraid of pain, but I will feel distressed."

Zhan Beiheng pulled her into his arms and hugged her. The last four words softened his hard heart, "I can't help wanting to kiss you."

Nan Jiao's eyes were a little sad. She could understand his feelings. They were both living people with flesh and blood. When they fell in love, they would naturally want to be close to each other.

Men and women are the same in this world.

"After New Year's Eve, we will go to Penglai Island." Nan Jiao made a decision. As long as his son could refine the dragon balls, he would not suffer for the time being.

They can find other ways to deal with the deadly snake.

"Okay." Zhan Beiheng said hoarsely.

…

Prince Rui's Palace.

"Princess, someone from the Dali Temple has come, and the prince wants you to go to the front hall." Banxia quickly ran to the door of the room and reported.

Jiang Zhiyan wore an elegant purple dress and walked out slowly. "Who from the Dali Temple is here?"

Banxia said quickly, "I don't know him, but King Jin is here too."

Jiang Zhiyan pursed her red lips and walked out naturally. She had nothing to be afraid of. Even if the Mu family was a spy, so what? She was not involved.

She walks upright and sits straight, and she is not afraid of her shadow being crooked.

Arrived at the front hall.

Jiang Zhiyan walked forward with a gentle smile, "My Lord, please look for me."

Zhan Qingheng looked at her, "Lord Pei found a common code used by spies in Mu's room. Lord Pei wants to ask you if you know anything?"

Jiang Zhiyan looked at Pei Tianci, "Sir Pei, when I was in the General's Mansion, Mu was indeed very kind to me, but I didn't know that she was a spy."

"I understand that you used to be the closest person to the Mu family. You two were very close. You should know where she usually goes, right?" Pei Tianci asked.

"She usually stays in the general's mansion, occasionally meets with the ladies in the capital, goes to various shops, and goes to temples every month. This is all I know." Jiang Zhiyan said truthfully.

She doesn't follow Mu all the time, so how could she know so much?

"Thank you Princess Rui for your cooperation. I will continue the investigation. I will have to trouble you if there is any possibility in the future." Pei Tianci said in a calm voice.

"It's okay, I will tell you everything I know." Jiang Zhiyan said with a smile.

"Write down which stores Mu has visited. We need to check in detail to see if any of her accomplices are in those stores." Zhan Beiheng said in a deep voice with a stern expression.

Jiang Zhiyan pinched the handkerchief and said, "Okay."

Zhan Beiheng's eyes were as cold as a pond, and he said in a harsh tone: "When you got married, the Mu family prepared a dowry just for you, you have to hand it over!"
