Chapter 902 Wanwan's Enlightenment

The minds of the people in the capital are strange and unpredictable. It is possible that someone else is plotting against the Dingguo Marquisate. It is a good thing that my grandfather is so cautious.

After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Following a turn of the stairs, Lu Xingwan saw the entire secret room.

Lu Xingwan had not expected that the walls of the secret room were made of hard stones, and the floor of the secret room was also paved with thick stone slabs, as if they could hear a slight echo with every step they took.

But no one knew whether the sound came from their feet or from the echo in this secret room.

Perhaps because the little beggar was here, there were a few dim lights hanging on the ceiling of the secret room.

The little beggar was leaning on a table nearby, seemingly flipping through an ancient book.

But this made Lu Xingwan a little surprised. She didn't expect that this little beggar was such a book lover.

As if hearing the footsteps of Lu Xingwan and the others, the little beggar turned around hurriedly, looked at them with a hint of panic in his eyes, and took a few steps back.

Although the old man had already told him that he had to stay here for a while because of something, he knew in his heart that it must be because of the message he had delivered that the old man had to stay here.

He thought that there must be someone more important who needed to see him, but he didn't expect that the person who came in with the old man was just a little kid.

The next moment, before he could come to his senses, the little kid spoke: "Don't worry, I'm here just to ask you some questions."

Although her voice was childish, the words that came out of her mouth were truly...

Mature.

The little beggar looked at Wanwan in front of him in disbelief, and all kinds of absurd guesses began to emerge in his mind.

Could it be that this little girl is actually an adult?

It's just that something went wrong or he's not in good health, so he looks like a little baby.

Thinking of this, when he looked at Wanwan again, there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

When Lu Xingwan noticed the little beggar's expression, he was completely speechless.

I am a cultivator who has lived for hundreds of years. Now, at a young age, I am an Immortal Emperor. Is it his turn to pity me?

For her, it was a humiliation.

Thinking of this, her expression turned a little bad. She raised her chin slightly and looked at the little beggar, her lips tightly pursed. It can be seen that she seemed to be suppressing the anger in her heart.

The little beggar did not notice Lu Xingwan's anger, but was still immersed in his own thoughts.

Lu Xingwan snorted coldly, ignored the little beggar's expression, suppressed the anger in his heart, took two steps forward, and naturally wanted to ask about the matter of the fourth senior brother.

However, her expression no longer had the serious look from before, and was replaced by a sense of silence.

"Excuse me, did you see the man who gave you the note?"

This is actually nonsense, but Lu Xingwan still feels that he should be more polite to him. After all, he is the one who needs help, so he still has to be polite.

The little beggar nodded heavily but still didn't say anything.

In fact, Lu Xingwan's mature tone had already made him certain.

The Lu Xingwan today is definitely not just a two or three-year-old baby. It seems that just as I guessed, she should have the thoughts of an adult, but because of some physical reasons, she can only stay at the age of two or three and cannot grow up.

However, he is very polite.

Lu Xingwan didn't care and continued to ask.

"What was the man's condition like when you saw him? Was he injured?"

"How did he slip you this note in such a hurry? Did he say anything else?"

"There were other people with him. Which direction did he leave in?"

Lu Xingwan fired a series of questions like cannonballs, which made the little beggar next to him stunned.

Seeing Lu Xingwan's anxious look, the old marquis stepped forward and held Lu Xingwan's arm: "Wanwan, don't be so anxious, take your time."

He knew that this man was Wanwan's fourth senior brother, but he didn't know that Wanwan had such a deep relationship with him.

After all, in the eyes of these people, Wanwan got to know this businessman because of Qionghua.

But now, looking at Wanwan's anxious look, although he was puzzled, he was also supportive. As long as Wanwan did something, they would support her.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t harm the people every day.

The old marquis' voice trembled slightly when he spoke, as if he felt a little distressed for Lu Xingwan.

Lu Xingwan turned her head to look at her grandfather beside her and nodded slightly. She knew that her grandfather was doing this for her own good and didn't want her to lose her composure, but she was really worried.

Although she had already guessed where Fourth Senior Brother had gone, and knew that this little beggar might not know much about the inside story, she still couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw the little beggar in front of her.

But she didn't expect that the little beggar actually provided her with a very crucial clue.

When he spoke again, Lu Xingwan heard the weakness and fatigue in his voice.

Looking more closely, I saw that his face was as pale as paper.

Just now I thought it was because he had been begging for many years.

But now it seems that something might have been hurt.

He began to talk to Lu Xingwan about what happened that day, but it seemed as if every word took up a lot of his energy.

"That day, I was just sitting on the street by chance, and this man hurriedly stuffed something into my hands and told me to deliver it to the Dingguo Marquis's mansion."

The little beggar lowered his eyes slightly, recalling what happened that day, his eyes were full of calm.

In fact, he didn't get any food that day and was so hungry that he couldn't walk.

"I have never met anyone from the Marquis' Mansion, so I am afraid of its power." The little beggar's voice trembled a little. He looked up at Lu Xingwan and the old Marquis in front of him, with some fear in his eyes.

He didn't know what kind of family this was, so he was afraid that once he stepped into the mansion, he would never be able to get out.

From his eyes, Lu Xingwan could see his confusion.

She looked quietly at the little beggar in front of her, with a complex emotion welling up in her heart.

She has experienced many things in this world, and perhaps because she is in a high position, even if she cares about the people at the bottom of society, she has never been able to put herself in their shoes.

She just thought that she was doing a great good deed and could help them improve their living environment.

But they forget that, to them, it doesn’t matter who owns the world; they just want to have enough food to eat.

Or, going a step further, they want to have their own self-esteem in this world.

But looking at the skinny appearance of this little beggar, Lu Xingwan could imagine that it was not easy for him, a person living at the bottom of society, to survive.
