Chapter 432 Ling Xiaoxiao's Letter
On the bamboo tube as thick as a finger, there was a small word "Ling" engraved.
Shen Wan was delighted and opened it quickly.
"No!" Black Hawk frowned and stopped her immediately, "Young Madam, it's better to wait until the prince comes back."
I thought this woman was sensible, but I didn't expect that she would even dare to read other people's letters secretly.
In fact, he still trusts Shen Wan.
But no matter how much she trusted him, she couldn't touch such confidential matters.
Shen Wan deliberately stared into his eyes and smiled slyly: “Do you know who wrote this?”
Black Hawk shook his head.
"No matter who wrote it, you can't read it." He said coldly with his dark face.
Shen Wan tilted her head and smiled mischievously: "Okay, then I'll wait until the prince comes back to read this letter."
"But are you sure it's appropriate for a man to read a girl's private conversation?"
Girls' whispers?
What girl would be so bold as to write a letter to the prince?
Black Hawk was confused.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Could it be her letter?
Yes, it’s her, it must be her!
She said she would write to the young lady.
Seeing the light in Black Hawk's eyes, Shen Wan deliberately handed the bamboo tube to him: "Since you are afraid that I will peek, why don't you keep it first."
"No, no, no... Young Madam, please look!" Black Hawk was anxious and quickly handed the bamboo tube back with both hands.
Shen Wan deliberately didn’t answer.
Funny, is she the kind of person who doesn't know her limits?
Having followed Xie Mubai for so long, she never took the initiative to inquire about his secrets.
He even took the initiative to take her to the underground training ground in Xiejiazhuang.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Black Hawk was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
He is really anxious.
They had only been apart for a few days, but it felt like a year had passed.
How has she been doing during this period? Has the old Miao King chosen a husband for her?
“Please, Young Madam!” Thinking of this, Black Hawk looked at Shen Wan with an almost pleading look.
Shen Wan couldn't help but want to laugh.
She took it casually, but muttered to herself in her heart.
Not to mention that Ling Xiaoxiao is unwilling, even if she is willing, there are still many problems between them.
The old Miao King wants to find a live-in son-in-law for his daughter. Doesn’t that mean Black Hawk has to leave Xie Mubai?
As a secret guard, everything he has belongs to his master.
I will never leave except by death.
If that day really comes, Shen Wan really doesn't know what Black Hawk will choose.
While daydreaming, Shen Wan opened the bamboo tube.
Black Hawk wanted to see, but couldn't.
"She...what did she say?" he asked impatiently.
Shen Wan took a look at it, then smiled and handed the note to him: "Xiao Xiao was worried that we didn't have enough food, so she asked someone to bring some over."
"It's a pity that the roads are blocked by heavy snow, so the food can't be brought in for the time being."
Black Hawk quickly took it, his burning gaze quickly sweeping across the small piece of paper.
As his gaze moved, the heat in his eyes slowly disappeared.
Before he finished reading the last word, he returned the note to Shen Wan, his eyes even colder without a trace of warmth.
From beginning to end, Ling Xiaoxiao never mentioned him in the letter, not even a single word.
Looking at Black Hawk's lonely eyes, Shen Wan felt a little reluctant.
She thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "What...what is your impression of Ran Qiu?"
Everyone at the post station saw what Ranqiu was thinking.
Black Hawk is not stupid either, so he can naturally sense it.
He didn't answer, but asked instead: "Young Madam, if one day you meet a very outstanding man, will you abandon the prince?"
"Of course not!" Shen Wan said very confidently.
Black Hawk nodded and smiled sadly: "That's it."
"Maybe Ling Xiaoxiao has many shortcomings, but I just like her."
"Actually, I know that there will be no future between her and me, but I still can't forget her."
Yeah, how could they get any results?
Ling Xiaoxiao is the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang, and her status is extremely noble. Even the Third Prince wants to take her as his concubine.
But he is just a secret guard, what can he use to compete?
Shen Wan nodded.
"Take your time." She thought for a moment and said, "You can keep this carrier pigeon for now. I'll write her back when I have time."
"Let's go check on Wang Qi. The prince said he was going to look for him, but he hasn't come back in such a long time. He must be very busy. Let's go and see if we can help."
Black Hawk nodded.
Since Wang Qi became the magistrate of Lanyang County, order in the city was quickly restored under his governance.
It is winter now, and it is impossible to rebuild the county government office.
So Shen Wan converted Chen Jiu's mansion into a temporary county government office and the grain store into a prison.
In order to facilitate his work, Wang Qi lived in the yamen.
However, Feng San's martial arts skills were too poor. It was no problem for him to guard a large prison, but it was impossible to expect him to catch criminals.
With the help of Shen Wan, he successfully fooled Feng Er again.
At this time, Feng Er only wanted to live a peaceful life with Xie Murong, so he naturally would not refuse this request.
After all, as long as he became an official, he could get rid of his status as a fugitive.
Before Shen Wan reached the door, Feng Er, dressed as an official, hurried forward and said, "Madam, the prince is still discussing something with 'Master Chu' inside. He will be back in a while."
Shen Wan nodded.
She glanced at the clothes he was wearing and said with a smile, "I still have some cotton. Let Murong give you some thicker clothes when we get back."
"You better dress nicely from now on, or you'll think I'm bullying you as your sister-in-law."
When Feng Er heard the word "sister-in-law", his face immediately turned red.
Although he is engaged, Feng Er is very thin-skinned.
He would get shy whenever someone made fun of him and Xie Murong.
"You're already an adult, why are you still shy!" Shen Wan couldn't help laughing.
She ignored Feng Er and walked straight in.
Compared with the old county government office, the environment here is obviously much better.
Wang Qi was a meticulous man, and there were two officers on duty every few steps along the way.
Most of those officials were selected by him from among the fugitives.
As soon as they saw Shen Wan, everyone smiled and greeted her.
After walking around the rockery, Shen Wan arrived at the hall where Wang Qi and Xie Mubai were meeting.
"I told you to go back first and you're not afraid. What's going on? Your wife has come to you!" Wang Qi glanced at Chen Wan and joked with a smile.
Seeing her coming, Xie Mubai immediately stepped forward to greet her.
He took her hand and asked with concern, "Why are you here?"
"I came to see if there was anything I could do to help." Shen Wan smiled sweetly.
Xie Mubai touched her red face and said distressedly, "It's nothing."
"The food has been distributed, and the people affected by the disaster have been properly resettled."
"It's just that there are a few children whose families died in the fire and they haven't been properly resettled yet."
Those children are too young to be without their parents' care.
Give it up for adoption?
Nowadays, people are all poor and are lucky to have enough food to eat. Who would have the mind to adopt a child who is not related to them by blood?
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but smile and said, “This is not difficult.”
Not difficult?
Upon hearing this, not only Xie Mubai, but even Wang Qi couldn't help but straighten his body.
