Chapter 149 Luo Jinan apologizes and explains, and everyone persuades Ye Qingwei
Luo Jinan had breakfast with Xu Nian and personally escorted her out of the barracks.
"Niannian, now that the war is about to end, do you want to go back to Northern Frontier first?"
Xu Nian looked at Luo Jinan deeply. She noticed that Luo Jinan looked not right after reading the letter just now. Now he asked her to go back to Northern Xinjiang. She didn't know what happened?
Luo Jin paused and said, "After I finish dealing with things here, I will go to Shengdu. I am afraid that something might happen during this trip. I will feel at ease only if you return to Northern Xinjiang."
Xu Nian said nothing. After a long silence, he said "OK" softly.
Luo Jin'an watched the man with a cold face getting on his horse and leaving, and grabbed Xu Nian's hand in panic, "Is Nian Nian angry with me?"
"No," Xu Nian said calmly, "but if there is something involving me, I hope I can have the right to know. I don't need anyone to make decisions for me in my own good name."
Luo Jin'an was silent for a moment, but he didn't expect Xu Nian to have already shaken him off and rode away on his horse. He didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly grabbed Mo Jian's horse and chased after him.
He couldn't let Nian Nian leave like this. This was his only thought when Xu Nian escaped from his hands.
Luo Jin'an stopped Xu Nian in front of a forest. He quickly dismounted and carried Xu Nian off the horse.
Although Xu Nian was unhappy, he still let him do it and did not stop him.
"Niannian, I know I was wrong. I received a letter from Wangcheng saying that the Wen family sent people to the northern border to humiliate and kill the Zheng family's daughter. I was afraid that if you followed me to Shengdu, you would attract their attention. After all, the Wen family will not fall in the short term."
"Wen family? The daughter of Zheng family?" Xu Nian knew that the person who sent Xihe to marry was from the Wen family, and it was said that he was chopped by Luo Jinan.
Luo Jinan took Xu Nian's hand and walked slowly towards the forest. "The current Wei Guogong is the head of the Wen family. Now that the Wen family controls the government, they naturally don't want me to enter Shengdu City, not to mention that there is still hatred between us."
Seeing Xu Nian looking at him in confusion, Luo Jin'an chuckled and said, "My mother's poison was made by the Duke's wife, and this poison was used by the Yanyang royal family to punish concubines. How did she, a lady who has lived in the inner house for a long time, get it? I was puzzled at first, but this time, through the missing grain and grass in Jicheng and Huaicheng, I found some clues. It is very likely that the Duke of Wei has colluded with Yanyang."
Xu Nian frowned when she heard this. Luo Jinan had told her before that Duke Wei was her current uncle, and it might not be easy to bring him down.
"Then... have you found evidence of the other party's conspiracy?"
Luo Jinan held Xu Nian's hand and wrote a few words gently without answering. Xu Nian understood.
"I won't go back to Beijiang for now, but I will leave for Shengdu tomorrow." Without waiting for Luo Jinan to stop him, Xu Nian continued, "Before going south, I rented a shop in Shengdu. I have to go take a look. If you want to see me after you return to Shengdu, you can send a message to the Treasure Pavilion."
Luo Jinan was a little surprised. Could it be that Nian Nian had already planned everything before going south?
Xu Nian looked at Luo Jin'an's unnatural expression and said, "Don't be moved. I'm not doing this for you. I saw that there are many rich people in Shengdu, and I want to make money from them."
"Okay, okay," Luo Jin'an followed Xu Nian's steps and said with a smile, "Then I wish my family Nian Nian a lot of wealth. I will rely on Nian Nian to support me in the future, haha..."
Joking aside, Luo Jin'an still said to Xu Nian: "I'll arrange some people to escort you, otherwise I won't be at ease."
Xu Nian sighed deeply and poked Luo Jin'an's arm with his finger, "Are you out of your mind? Are you sure those people escorted me to protect me, not to use me as a target?"
Luo Jin'an was stunned for a moment, then he patted his head when he came to his senses. It is said that worrying too much will lead to confusion, and he almost made the most basic mistake.
Xu Nian grabbed his hand that was patting his head and said, "I plan to take only Mo Jian and Niuniu with me. As for Xihe and the others, they will go back to Shengdu with you."
Just as the two of them finished discussing, they heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from afar. It was Mo Jian who was chasing after them.
Mo Jian's arrival also interrupted Xu Nian's inquiry about the Zheng family's daughter.
"Okay, you should go back to the barracks. I will also go back to Yangcheng to make some preparations."
Luo Jinan reluctantly saw Xu Nian off before returning to the barracks.
Mo Bai saw the prince coming back and reported the news that the peace envoy would soon arrive in Baiyun City.
Luo Jin'an nodded, but the questions he asked had nothing to do with the negotiations.
"Where is An Yi?"
"I received news yesterday that it will take two more days to reach Yangcheng."
Luo Jin settled him down for a moment and ordered, "Send a message to him to wait where he is and have him escort Nian Nian to Shengdu."
Mo Bai closed his slightly open mouth as he watched His Highness walk into the tent. Now His Highness had placed almost all of his secret guards next to the young lady, and he was afraid that His Highness would be in danger if there was an unexpected situation.
But he could neither persuade His Highness nor tell the truth to the young lady, so Mo Bai could only resign himself to doing what His Highness had ordered.
Xu Nian and Mo Jian returned to the Border Guard's Mansion just after noon. She did not disturb Guan Minghui, but went back to Yazhu Courtyard first. Unexpectedly, Yazhu Courtyard was in chaos at that time.
“Woo…woo…”
Luo Xi's head was about to explode at this moment. This little girl Niuniu started crying ever since she woke up and couldn't find her sister Nian, and she has been crying for the entire morning.
"Qingwei, your sister must have gone out to do something. She will be back soon. Can we have some snacks first?"
Ye Qingwei took the seventh snack that Luo Xi gave her and took a bite, sobbing: "Sister Nian, do you... don't want me anymore? Ugh... hiccup—"
Luo Xihe looked at the burping little girl and could not help but smile bitterly. In order to stop the little girl from crying, she could only coax her with delicious snacks, but the little girl accepted all the snacks and did not even stop her from eating even her crying.
"Maybe you eat too much..."
The snack that Ye Qingwei had just put into her mouth suddenly lost its flavor and she started to cry loudly.
Hanmei hurriedly began to wipe the little girl's tears. She was also very surprised. She originally thought that her princess had grown up, but now she became more and more childish.
"What's going on?"
When people heard Xu Nian's voice, it was like a long-awaited rain, especially Mo Yu's eyes, which were astonishingly bright.
God knows how she got through this morning. If the young lady hadn't told her to take good care of the little girl, she would have run away long ago.
"Where have you been? Everyone I ask says they don't know."
As soon as Luo Xihe finished speaking, Ye Qingwei hugged Xu Nian's thighs.
"Sister Nian, I will eat less in the future. Please don't abandon Niuniu."
Xu Nian looked at the tearful little girl, squatted down and said apologetically: "I'm sorry Niuniu, I'll tell you in advance when I go out next time, okay? Don't worry, I won't abandon Niuniu."
"Then can Niuniu still eat sweet snacks in the future?"
Xu Nian rubbed the boy's head and said lovingly, "Of course you can."
