Chapter 79 Nan Qi's Visit

Mo Jiuye also had a lot of things to say to He Zhiran at this moment. Seeing that Peng Wang was reluctant to leave, he pretended to be uncomfortable.

"Madam, I feel a little uncomfortable in my chest, please help me."

He Zhiran could tell at a glance that Mo Jiuye was pretending to be sick, and cooperated by holding one of his arms.

"My dear, your injuries must not have fully healed. You must have traveled hard today. I will help you walk slowly. I will take a closer look at you when we get to the inn."

Mo Jiuye leaned towards He Zhiran's body, looking extremely weak in the eyes of outsiders.

Peng Wang thought Mo Jiuye was really unwell, so he quickly ordered the team to walk slower. He personally ran to the front to speed up the journey.

Seeing Peng Wang walking away, Mo Jiuye looked around again and found that only his family members were looking at him with concern.

He blinked at Madam Mo and the others, indicating that he was fine, and then whispered to He Zhiran:

"Your presence only changes the time when they meet."

What Mo Jiuye implied was that these two people did have some intersection.

He Zhiran was not too surprised by this, and she was also happy that Nan Qi and Fei Nanyu got to know each other.

As long as Fei Nanyu becomes Nan Qi's staff member, she can make subsequent deductions based on some things recorded in history books to know both herself and the enemy.

"That's not necessarily a bad thing."

"Why?" Mo Jiuye was puzzled.

He Zhiran didn't know how to explain this to Mo Jiuye.

"I can't explain much, I can only say it's my intuition."

It would have been better if she didn't say this, Mo Jiuye was even more confused.

However, he knew very well that it was impossible to get more useful information from He Zhiran.

So, I can only silently speculate on various possibilities in my mind.

The couple snuggled up to each other and came to the westernmost part of Pingyuan County with their own thoughts.

There was still an inn that Peng Wang was familiar with, so he took his men in directly.

Zhou Laoba went in and said something to the shopkeeper, and soon a waiter came out with him and took everyone to check the guest rooms on the first floor.

The guest rooms are still divided into ten-person rooms and double rooms.

This time the officials did not intend to ask for a kickback on the room rate, but the innkeeper himself quoted the price.

The price of a ten-person room is the same as that of a double room, both are 100 wen.

Now the Mo family is headed by He Zhiran, and the fourth sister-in-law came to her with money in her hand.

"Sister-in-law of the Ninth Brother, our Fourth Sister-in-law is paying for our stay today. What kind of room do you think we should choose?"

Although He Zhiran is the head of the family now, she also wants to seek everyone's opinions on some things.

She brought her fourth sister-in-law to the presence of Madam Mo and other female relatives.

"Mom, how do you think we should allocate the rooms today?"

Madam Mo glanced around and said, "I think it's the same as last time. You and Jiuye will stay in a two-person room, and the others can stay in a ten-person room with me."

After getting Madam Mo's opinion, He Zhiran turned to his fourth sister-in-law and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, just do as mother says!"

"Okay." The fourth sister-in-law responded and went to the clerk to pay the money.

The Xie and Fang families had little money, so they tacitly chose a ten-person room. Even though each family had more than a dozen people, they were reluctant to open an extra room.

Only the He family, seeing that the other families had chosen suitable guest rooms on their own, looked at Peng Wang miserably, hoping that he would take pity on them and stop letting them live outside.

Having worked as an escort officer for many years, Peng Wang is not the type of person who would be soft-hearted just because he sees you as pitiful.

"What are you looking at? If you don't have money, you can sleep in the woodshed in the backyard."

The He family looked at each other and finally had to accept their fate.

A woodshed is a woodshed, at least it has the word "house" in it, which is better than sleeping in a dirty and smelly straw hut.

After everyone's accommodation was arranged, each family began to look for an open space to cook.

After a day of travel, everyone was tired and returned to their rooms to rest before it got dark.

He Zhiran was afraid that Mo Jiuye would continue to ask questions about Fei Nanyu, so even though he was not sleepy, he still dozed off facing the wall.

Mo Jiuye was also tactful. Even though he found that she was not asleep, he didn't say anything else.

I thought the night would pass peacefully, but unexpectedly, someone knocked on the door late at night.

Mo Jiuye sat up cautiously and asked in a deep voice, "Who?"

"Jiuye, it's the king."

He Zhiran also sat up and looked at Mo Jiuye.

Neither of them expected that Nan Qi would choose to show up on his own initiative.

After hesitating for a moment, Mo Jiuye slowly opened the door.

At this time, He Zhiran also tidied his clothes and lit the oil lamp on the table.

The moment the door opened, in addition to Nan Qi, Fei Nanyu also appeared in front of him.

With the faint light of the oil lamp, He Zhiran clearly caught Fei Nanyu's slightly complicated look when he saw Mo Jiuye for the first time.

However, he quickly concealed his abnormality and stood obediently beside Nan Qi.

"Jiuye, why don't you invite me in to sit down?"

Mo Jiuye's face was calm, as if he was unaware of what Nan Qi had done to him recently. He slightly leaned to the side and made room for the door.

Nan Qi strode over the threshold, sat down at the round table, and then made a gesture of invitation to Mo Jiuye.

Mo Jiuye sat down slowly, and did not forget to pull He Zhiran along and let her sit next to him.

Only then did Nan Qi notice He Zhiran's presence.

His eyes lit up instantly, and he suddenly thought of the scene where Fei Nanyu was bullied by several scholars in the street that day.

Even though he recognized He Zhiran, Nan Qi was so reserved that he didn't point it out right away. Instead, he looked at Mo Jiuye:

"Jiuye, would you please introduce this lady to me?"

Although the two of them had gotten along in this way before, Mo Jiuye didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time, but now when Nan Qi spoke like this again, it sounded sarcastic to Mo Jiuye.

Especially the look Nan Qi gave He Zhiran just now made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Who else but my wife would be sharing a room with me this late?"

Nan Qi did not change because of Mo Jiuye's attitude, and continued to speak slowly: "My sister-in-law is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Mo family. When Nanyu encountered difficulties, she was not afraid of the other party's large number of people and came to his aid."

The matter has been made clear by Nan Qi, and He Zhiran feels that there is no need for him to keep a low profile.

"Although I don't have any special abilities, I just can't stand bullying. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Your Highness."

At this moment, Fei Nanyu also cooperated very well and clasped his fists towards He Zhiran.

"Thank you Madam Mo for your help."

He Zhiran carefully studied Fei Nanyu's expression. Seeing that he was still as calm as ever, he replied calmly, "You're welcome, sir. I think anyone else wouldn't turn a blind eye to such a thing."

As he spoke, He Zhiran looked at Nan Qi again and said meaningfully, "Your Highness Prince Qi, is that right?"
