Shangguan Wanning felt a sweet ripple in her heart, and all the complaints that had just remained in her heart suddenly disappeared.
"Thank you." Shangguan Wanning took out a piece of silver and handed it to the child. She touched his head and said, "Wait here for me. A little girl with a windmill will come over soon. Tell her to wait for me here."
The child quickly stuffed the silver into his tattered clothes and nodded heavily.
Shangguan Wan Ning went straight to the back, muttering to herself, "I'll let you leave me alone, and see how I'll deal with you."
She looked around at the entrance of the alley and suddenly found that the place was strangely quiet.
Although this place is relatively remote, it is close to a busy street after all. Why is there no one here in broad daylight?
Shangguan Wanning suddenly remembered that asking her out in this way was not Mu Jingrui's style at all.
What's more, he just walked away in anger, it's impossible for him to calm down so quickly.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Wanning felt a little uneasy and turned around to leave.
Suddenly, everything went dark and a sack covered her from head to toe.
She immediately struggled desperately, but felt a pain in the back of her neck and then completely lost consciousness.
Shangguan Wanning didn't know how long she had been unconscious. She only felt that someone was moving around her.
The memory before she fainted flashed through her mind. She didn't dare to open her eyes, so she could only continue to pretend to be unconscious and listen to the movements around her.
"How is it? Did you catch the wrong person?"
"No, Master Xue, don't worry. Do you still not trust us brothers to do things? We know the Qianjin of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Shangguan Wanning's heart skipped a beat. She had never expected that these people, knowing her identity, would still dare to kidnap her.
What exactly are they going to do?
Before Shangguan Wanning could figure out what was going on, the sack was taken away. The sudden light made her frown subconsciously.
"Miss Shangguan, don't pretend. I know you are awake."
Shangguan Wanning knew she couldn't pretend anymore, so she opened her eyes and stood up.
She looked around and saw that it was a house with very simple furnishings, probably an inn or restaurant.
There were five people standing in the room, one of whom was called "Master Xue". His eyes were bright and full of shrewdness and cunning.
"You know who I am, but you arrested me anyway. It seems like your background is not simple either."
Shangguan Wanning calmly flicked the dust off her clothes and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Mr. Xue didn't expect that Shangguan Wanning, who was raised in seclusion, would have such courage, and he couldn't help but clapping his hands.
"As expected of the granddaughter of Marquis Yiyong, she has some of the demeanor of a child from a martial arts family." Master Xue smiled and said, "It's very simple. I just want to know where Miss Shangguan put the list and evidence that Mu Jingrui brought back from the border?"
Shangguan Wanning was stunned and suddenly realized.
"So, you are Li Dahai's people?" Shangguan Wanning said calmly, "Didn't my third uncle tell you that those things have been burned?"
"Really?" Mr. Xue didn't seem very sure.
After all, the stakes are high and they have to make sure that those things will never happen again.
Shangguan Wanning understood their concerns. "If I still had it, do you think... you would still be standing here?"
Shangguan Wanning's face darkened, and the anger in her heart was ignited.
It was because of this incident that caused the rift between her and Mu Jingrui. She didn't know whether it would cause the trajectory that she was trying so hard to correct to develop in the same direction as in her previous life.
Mr. Xue thought about it seriously and Shangguan Wanning didn't seem to be lying.
In fact, they also felt that the evidence had been burned, so they went to Shangguan Wanning for confirmation just in case.
"I have already told you what you wanted to ask. You can let me go now." Shangguan Wanning asked.
Master Xue said with a half-smile: "Of course. Miss Shangguan, please."
Shangguan Wanning became a little more wary when she saw that the other party agreed so readily.
She took a few cautious steps forward, her eyes fixed on Mr. Xue's hand from beginning to end.
"By the way, I heard that Miss Shangguan has a photographic memory. Is that true?"
Shangguan Wanning's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized that she couldn't leave.
She pinched herself secretly to calm herself down, and said nonchalantly, "Rumors are always exaggerated. I just want to give my father face."
"You are very smart." There was a bright light in Master Xue's eyes. He walked closer to Shangguan Wanning step by step. With a slight movement of his wrist, a dagger appeared in his palm. "It's a pity that I will kill any possible event in the bud. Miss Shangguan, if you want to blame someone, blame Mu Jingrui."
"If he hadn't dragged you into this, you would still be at home, embroidering and chasing butterflies peacefully. Why did you wade into this muddy water?"
Shangguan Wanning held her breath and stepped back, but the way behind her was blocked by two burly men.
"You dare!" Shangguan Wan Ning scolded harshly.
But Master Xue didn't buy it and stabbed Shangguan Wanning in the lower abdomen with the dagger.
There was a hint of fear in Shangguan Wanning's eyes.
With a "clang" sound, at the critical moment, a flying knife pierced through the door and window and knocked away Mr. Xue's dagger.
A figure flashed by, picked up Shangguan Wanning and jumped to the side.
"Third uncle?" Shangguan Wanning grabbed Zheng Bingrong's sleeve nervously, her breathing quickened.
If he arrived a step late, he would have to collect her body.
"What are you going to do?" Mr. Xue stared at Zheng Bingrong viciously.
"You said you wanted to confirm whether Ning'er had any hidden tricks. Now that you know, why did you still want to kill her?"
Zheng Bingrong secretly thanked his luck for following Xue all the way, otherwise he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
"You know better than me how smart your niece is. Although you burned the list and the evidence, she still remembers the people on the list. As long as she is around, we will feel like a thorn in our backs and have no peace."
Xue's face was ferocious, and he said viciously: "So, she must die. Since you have the heart to burn her to death, let me do it for you."
Shangguan Wanning looked at Zheng Bingrong in surprise.
It turned out that the fire burned not only the evidence and the list, but also her.
"Ning'er, don't be afraid. Third Uncle won't let anything happen to you."
Zheng Bingrong really didn't want his bad deeds to be exposed. But he still had a conscience. He couldn't exchange Shangguan Wanning's life for his own miserable life.
"Since you won't let go, I will send you both to death."
As soon as Mr. Xue finished speaking, he slapped him with his palm.
Zheng Bingrong pushed Shangguan Wanning away, took a palm strike from the other party, and then pulled Shangguan Wanning out of the window.
