Mu Yangzhi was beaten and howled in pain. He ran behind Ning Nanxiao, but Ning Nanxiao betrayed him.
This playful bickering finally eased the tension.
The group sat down to eat and chat, and decided to go for a stroll in the night.
"Alright, you kids go play by yourselves, we'll wander around on our own," the Emperor said with a smile, waving his hand to signal Ning Nanxiao and the others to leave.
Mu Yangzhi winked at Ning Nanxiao and said, "I won't go with you guys. You take good care of Tuantuan."
Bai Tuantuan looked at Mu Yangzhi in confusion: "What, you won't even go shopping with me after I hit you?"
“Of course not! Would I be so petty?” Mu Yangzhi immediately retorted, then pulled Mu Yangrun over, “I’m going to chat with my third brother for a while.”
Bai Tuantuan glanced at Mu Yangzhi and Mu Yangrun with a strange look, but said nothing despite her confusion.
Ning Nanxiao accompanied Bai Tuantuan to the right.
The town of Heroes is bustling at night, with vendors constantly calling out their wares on both sides of the street.
There were both men and women, and the women did not face any discrimination for setting up stalls.
On the contrary, many men take good care of women and will lend a helping hand when they are too busy.
Bai Tuantuan looked at everything around her with bright eyes and said slowly, "Isn't this great! Women can hold up half the sky too. I hope the Emperor can stay here for a while longer. That way, he can also feel the power of women, and maybe then he will make great reforms!"
Hearing Bai Tuantuan's cheerful tone, Ning Nanxiao raised an eyebrow and slowly said, "You're just reincarnated and passing through here once, why are you so dedicated?"
"I've not just walked this path once, I've walked it a hundred times!" Bai Tuantuan exclaimed. "But whether it's once or a hundred times, my family is here, it's my home, and of course I hope they're all doing well."
"Don't talk about me, aren't you the same?" Bai Tuantuan looked at Ning Nanxiao's profile. "You're also working hard to make Sheng Ning Kingdom better!"
Ning Nanxiao smiled, gave Bai Tuantuan a deep look, and gave a faint reply without saying anything more.
"Look! Guess the riddles!" Bai Tuantuan tugged at Ning Nanxiao's sleeve. "Come on, let's go experience it!"
Ning Nanxiao let Bai Tuantuan pull him along, squeezing into the crowd. Hearing the cheers, Bai Tuantuan took down a lantern, looked at the riddle on it, and froze: "This..."
Bai Tuantuan looked at Ning Nanxiao: "Can you?"
"No." Ning Nanxiao shook his head.
The man to Bai Tuantuan's left glanced at it, then let out a long sigh: "I know how to do this. It's Li Zhongcai from Lijia Village."
“Young master, you have answered correctly.” The vendor, a young man, bowed to the young master. “This lamp is a gift for you.”
Bai Tuantuan handed the lamp to the young master, who took it and sighed, "Li Zhongcai's death is truly heartbreaking!"
Bai Tuantuan and Ning Nanxiao exchanged a glance, then Bai Tuantuan asked, "Young master, could you tell me about Li Zhongcai?"
"Why don't we go to the teahouse next door and sit for a while?" Ning Nanxiao suggested.
The young master did not refuse. After the three sat down, they ordered tea and snacks before he said, "I am also from Li Family Village. My name is Li Fan. May I ask how you two are addressed?"
"White ball".
"Ningnan Xiao".
Li Fan paused slightly, "Your names sound familiar."
“They’re pretty common,” Bai Tuantuan said with a smile. “Young Master Li, I noticed that all the riddles are names? Is there any story behind them?”
Li Dan nodded and slowly said, "The answers to these riddles are all the names of heroes from Hero Town. For example, the one Miss Bai just got is Li Zhongcai, who was beaten to death for saving a woman."
"Although the bad guys have been brought to justice, Li Zhongcai is not going to come back to life."
"In order to prevent these heroes from being forgotten, people often organize activities in the name of the heroes or their deeds, and the prefect also often commemorates the heroes in the latter part of each month."
Bai Tuantuan was astonished: "Your prefect is truly extraordinary."
"Hahaha!" Li Fan laughed. "Yes, our prefect is a truly wonderful person."
After chatting for a while, Li Fan glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late, I should head back now. Thank you for your hospitality, young master and young lady."
After watching Li Fan leave, Bai Tuantuan's eyes sparkled: "I'm curious about this prefect. Shall we go and meet him tomorrow?"
Ning Nanxiao raised an eyebrow: "Okay."
After buying some things, the two returned to Erdong Restaurant, only to see Cui'er's figure as soon as they arrived at the entrance.
"Young Master Ning, you're back."
Cui'er's sweet voice rang out: "Young Master Ning, I apologize for what happened today."
Ning Nanxiao took two steps back without making a sound and said calmly, "No need."
Cui'er's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but she still said, "I am very sorry about what happened today. I did not know that it would cause a conflict between Young Master Ning and Young Master Yang. I have already explained things to Young Master Yang, and I ask for Young Master Ning's forgiveness."
With a "pfft," Bai Tuantuan couldn't help but laugh: "Hey young lady, are you sure you've got the right person? The one who argued with Mu... cough cough, Young Master Yang was the Second Young Master of the Yang family. You should go and apologize to the Second Young Master of the Yang family. But it's not necessary. They're brothers. They argue in bed and make up in bed. It has nothing to do with you. Don't bother."
Upon hearing this, Cui'er immediately felt wronged: "Miss Bai, why are you targeting me at every turn? I just wanted to apologize..."
As she spoke, she looked at Ning Nanxiao with a mournful expression: "Young Master Ning, I..."
“Tuantuan is right, today’s events have nothing to do with me.” With that, Ning Nanxiao turned to leave.
However, Cui'er stood in front of Ning Nanxiao and hurriedly said, "No, no, it's my fault, Young Master Ning, please give me a chance to apologize."
Ning Nanxiao took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. She glanced at Bai Tuantuan out of the corner of her eye, only to see her watching the show with great interest. Instantly, she became furious.
"White ball".
The deep voice startled Bai Tuantuan: "What's wrong?"
"You handle it."
With that, he entered the Erdong Restaurant without looking back.
Bai Tuantuan was stunned. She looked at Ning Nanxiao's back and scratched the back of her head. She just wanted to watch the drama unfold, so how did things turn out this way?
Turning around, just as he was about to explain things to Cui'er, he saw the resentment in her eyes.
He frowned slightly and asked, "What's with that expression?"
Cui'er bit her lip tightly: "Miss, although you are the young owner of Er Dong Restaurant, my private affairs are none of your business. Please don't meddle in other people's business!"
