Shangguan Wei'er obediently followed Li Shang out of the Li residence. She was considering whether to tell Li Shang what she had discovered. Just now, when Li Shang searched the Li residence, she had also secretly released her treasure.
I've discovered something interesting.
There's a secret room in that old man Li Shu's study! Her darling discovered someone in the secret room, but that old fellow Li Shu said there's no one hiding in the Li family mansion. How interesting! Could the person in the secret room be the one Grandpa sent her to find at the Li family in Qingzhou in the Northwest?
"Shangguan Wei'er, what are you daydreaming about?" Li Shang asked, looking at Shangguan Wei'er who was about to bump into him.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Shangguan Wei'er snapped out of her thoughts and realized that Li Shang was calling her.
“I said, you’ve been acting strangely ever since you left home. Did you discover something?” Li Shang asked, his sharp eyes fixed on Shangguan Wei’er.
"What did you find? Didn't you just find nothing? You did a thorough search and you still couldn't find anything, what could I possibly find?" Shangguan Wei'er pretended to be clueless. She decided not to tell Li Shang yet, and would sneak into the Li residence tonight to check the situation first.
What if the person in the dark room is the one her grandfather asked her to find? What if that person is the one Li Shang wants to capture? Sigh, she was really torn.
Let her go check on the situation tonight first!
After all, if that person was beneficial to the Shangguan family, she had to protect him.
At that time, she and Li Shang might become rivals.
Seeing Shangguan Wei'er start to space out again, Li Shang sighed helplessly, stepped forward, took Shangguan Wei'er's arm, and walked forward.
"Let's go quickly. We're returning to Yunzhou City today, and we still need to find clues about Prince An," Li Shang said wearily.
"What? We're going back to Yunzhou today? But it's almost dark!" Shangguan Wei'er said in surprise, looking at the setting sun.
"With me here, nothing will happen to you," Li Shang said in a deep voice.
No, she still needs to go to the Li residence tonight to check on the people in the study. How can she investigate once she returns to Yunzhou City?
Shangguan Wei'er hurriedly said, "I, I can't go back to Yunzhou City with you. I still need to stay in Qingzhou."
Li Shang stopped and looked at Shangguan Wei'er suspiciously. He felt that Shangguan Wei'er had been acting strangely ever since she entered the Li family. He asked, "Is the person you're looking for in Qingzhou? What does he look like? Should I send someone to help you find him?"
Shangguan Wei'er thought for a moment and refused, "No need, I can find him myself. I don't know what he looks like, my grandfather just told me to find him."
Looking at Shangguan Wei'er's clear eyes, Li Shang no longer doubted her. He glanced at the horizon and the pedestrians hurrying home, then looked at Shangguan Wei'er again and said, "Then I'll help you find someone first. Let's find an inn to stay at tonight."
Shangguan Wei'er glanced at Li Shang in surprise. She hadn't expected him to stay and help her search for someone. Shangguan Wei'er's heart wavered.
“Let’s go. We’ll go to the inn over there. That’s the main street of Qingzhou City, usually the most bustling. Most of Qingzhou City’s population lives there. It’ll be easier for you to find people if we stay there,” Li Shang kindly explained.
Looking at Li Shang, who was so devoted to her, Shangguan Wei'er was touched. "Li Shang, thank you," she said sincerely.
"You're too kind. You even saved my life. I should repay your kindness with my body, but I can't do that now. I can only help you out," Li Shang said humorously.
Shangguan Wei'er smiled and said, "How can helping out be enough to repay a life-saving debt? Am I at a disadvantage?"
"Don't worry, I'm not just helping you this once. You can ask me for help with anything in the future," Li Shang said, turning his head.
Looking at the spirited young man in his trench coat, Shangguan Wei'er felt her heart pounding uncontrollably. She nodded gently and said, "Okay."
night.
After Li Shang turned off the lights, Shangguan Wei'er changed into Night Walker and quietly jumped out of the window. As soon as she left, the lights in Li Shang's room came back on. Li Shang looked in the direction Shangguan Wei'er left with a complicated expression and followed her.
Shangguan Wei'er was very careful along the way. She did not notice that anyone was following her. After arriving at Li's house, she easily slipped into Li Shu's study.
Before she could react, she was pulled into the study and then into a secret room. When Li Shang appeared, Shangguan Wei'er was already gone.
Shangguan Wei'er sensed danger and made a swift and decisive move, while her opponent fought back with ease.
At this moment, Li Shu, who was standing to the side, said, "Stop fighting, you two, let's talk this out."
Shangguan Wei'er and the man in black robes exchanged a glance and stopped. The man in black robes asked, "Are you Shangguan Tianqing's granddaughter?"
"Yes, so what? Grandpa asked me to find you? How ugly are you that you dare not show your true face?" Shangguan Wei'er mocked directly. The old man could only ask her to come and find him, but he didn't say he would do anything for him.
The man in the black robe paused for a moment, then raised his hand to lower his hood, revealing his face.
Shangguan Wei'er stared at the handsome middle-aged man in front of her for a moment, then pouted and said, "He's not ugly, so why is he covering his face?"
Ji Mo'an smiled and asked, "May I ask your name, young lady?"
"Shangguan Wei'er."
"Miss Wei'er, may I ask how you discovered the secret room I was hiding in the study, or rather, how you discovered the secret room in the study?" Ji Mo'an asked curiously. After all, the soldiers in the army had not been able to find him during the day, but a little girl had found him so easily. When Li Shu said that he had been discovered today, he did not believe it. When he saw that someone had actually come tonight, he was still a little surprised.
"You think you've hidden it well? You're really not very skilled," Shangguan Wei'er said sarcastically.
"Yes, yes, yes, I believe there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. The fact that Miss Shangguan was able to find me proves how capable you are," Ji Mo'an said with a smile.
"You know that's good. Alright, now that we've found the person and seen them, I'll be leaving now," Shangguan Wei'er said uninterestedly.
This is really boring.
"Miss Shangguan, please wait. I have something I'd like to discuss with you," Ji Mo'an called out to Shangguan Wei'er, who was about to leave.
"I have nothing to discuss with you," Shangguan Wei'er said without turning her head.
"Don't you want to know the secrets of the Shangguan family, Miss Shangguan? Especially about your grandfather and why you don't have parents." Ji Mo'an's voice rang out from behind.
Shangguan Wei'er slowly stopped walking forward. When she was little, she saw that other people had parents, so she ran to ask the old man. The old man only told her that her parents had passed away.
But strangely, none of the Shangguan family members had ever seen her parents. Isn't that odd?
Shangguan Wei'er turned around and said, "Oh? You know?"
“Of course,” Ji Moan replied.
"Then let's talk." Shangguan Wei'er was also curious about why he knew the secrets of the Shangguan family and about her parents.
However, what interested her more was what this handsome middle-aged man in front of her wanted to say to her.
