Chapter 322 Good brother, let's hide for a while.
To avoid unforeseen problems.
She called out, "Nongying."
Wei Tongyou walked to Ji Qingwu's side and secretly scanned the man standing opposite her with her eyes. He looked unremarkable and dressed like a servant.
But for some reason, Wei Tongyou felt tense all over, and she swallowed hard.
She whispered in Ji Qingwu's ear, "Who is this person?"
Ji Qingwu revealed a generous and open smile.
"Nongying, have you forgotten?"
She gestured and introduced, "This is what my sister mentioned to you before—"
Zhao Mingyan's brow twitched. Had she mentioned him to Wei Ting's sister?
Ji Qingwu thought for a moment and chose a simple and unadorned name from his mind.
"Brother A Niu".
Even through a human skin mask, you could see that "Brother A Niu's" expression changed several times.
Wei Tongyou had no idea who this Brother A Niu was. She asked quietly, "What is he here for?"
In the middle of the night, a man dressed as a servant appeared in the master's room, which was very suspicious.
Ji Qingwu blinked and said, "Brother A Niu has been in love with me for a long time. Even though I was betrothed as a child, he still pursued me relentlessly. He even came to work for the Su family specifically for me."
"He keeps coming to the front yard to see me more often. I've told him many times, but he still won't listen. Now, taking advantage of the master's absence, he's come looking for me again."
Ji Qingwu pursed her lips to keep from smiling.
Zhao Mingyan raised an eyebrow; she had added some more details to what he had just said.
The more Wei Tongyou listened, the more serious her expression became.
She was a martial artist, and could sense the powerful aura of the person opposite her more directly than Ji Qingwu.
This person is definitely not some country bumpkin.
Seeing that her body was tense, Ji Qingwu hinted, "He's here to see me, you don't need to worry."
Wei Tongyou was torn between her inner thoughts and her own. Upon hearing Ji Qingwu's words, she concluded that she had been fooled by this man.
The person before me possessed unfathomable skill; he was clearly a grandmaster-level figure capable of roaming the martial world.
Should she draw her soft sword and fight him?
However, sometimes, before a fight, a single glance is enough to determine the winner.
Wei Tongyou clearly realized that she had no chance of winning, but was certain of losing.
Ji Qingwu noticed that Wei Tongyou's hand was trembling, so she took the other's hand and patted it gently.
"It's chilly at night. If you're cold, go inside and stay there."
Wei Tongyou's hand trembled as she reached for her waist. She had to protect her gentle sister-in-law.
She wanted to find a soft sword to prepare for battle.
Zhao Mingyan said coldly, "I have something to say to your sister Hanzhang."
With just a few words, Wei Tongyou immediately gave up the idea of fighting him. She pushed open the door and walked out.
Living a little longer is still a little longer.
The flower hall at the entrance has returned to quiet.
Ji Qingwu said softly, "Don't scare her."
Wei Tongyou was still young and had never witnessed the majesty of an emperor. Moreover, she had come with her to help.
Zhao Mingyan no longer concealed his identity and said unhappily, "Now you know you have to protect Wei Ting's sister."
In just a few days, the fourteenth young lady of the Wei family has become so close to her that she even wants to go with her to do dangerous things like breaking into the Su residence.
Ji Qingwu's dark eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes sparkled as she asked, "What Wei Ting?"
Zhao Mingyan turned his head and took a step closer to her.
Ji Qingwu pretended to be stupid and took half a step back, saying, "Brother A Niu, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Zhao Mingyan stretched out his arm and hooked her chin with his finger.
"It's okay if you don't understand, but you have to say a few things I like to hear. When are you going to break off the arranged marriage?"
Ji Qingwu shook his head, tickled by his words, and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this."
She turned her head to look into the inner room, covered half her face with her hand, and said softly, "Let's take care of our business first, okay? We can talk about it later."
Su Fengyue might come back at any time, and it will be difficult to take action then.
Zhao Mingyan crossed his arms and said slowly, "Make a nice sound."
Isn't Ah Niu Ge (Brother Ah Niu) a good name?
Ji Qingwu inwardly grumbled at how leisurely the emperor was, sneaking into someone else's home as if he were strolling through his own garden.
She pondered for a moment, then looked up and whispered in his ear.
A sweet scent surrounded him, making Zhao Mingyan's breathing easier. He raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting for her to speak.
“Brother A Niu”.
The woman's voice, strained and sweet, was like the sugar frosting on a candied hawthorn skewer—crisp, sweet, and sticky.
It would be even better if it could be eaten.
After saying that, Ji Qingwu made a move to run away, but Zhao Mingyan grabbed her collar with one hand and pulled her back with a little force.
Did I say you could leave?
Her back bumped into his chest, and she heard a sentence in her ear.
"If you're not satisfied with the calling, call it again."
Ji Qingwu looked troubled and said sincerely, "Your face right now only deserves this title."
With a broad face and small eyes, he looked every bit the honest, hardworking farmer who could cultivate ten acres of land.
Calling him Brother A Niu is quite appropriate.
"Can't call out to this face?" Zhao Mingyan chuckled. "I'm much more generous than you."
His fingers traced along her collar and pinched the back of her neck.
"Aunt Su Daiyue's room is in the elegant residence in the southeast corner of the backyard, the second to last wing room."
Ji Qingwu's eyes lit up.
Having this information will save you a lot of trouble.
Ji Qingwu was initially apprehensive, thinking that Emperor Wusu would stop her, but now it seems that he not only knows why she came, but also intends to help her with a small favor.
But that wasn't her only purpose in coming here.
Seeing that Ji Qingwu hadn't left, but instead looked back at him hesitantly.
Zhao Mingyan pursed his lips and said, "Why didn't you invite your dear sister to come along?"
The emperor even knew that the scroll jar in Su Fengyue's house had a crack, which clearly meant he had already searched the house.
Ji Qingwu felt he should ask the question to avoid wasting his time.
Moreover, now that he has appeared, even for safety reasons, she doesn't want to be separated from him.
She asked softly, "Is there anything amiss in this house?"
"No," Zhao Mingyan said. "What are you looking for?"
Ji Qingwu said, "I learned from Madam Song that Prime Minister Su has been behaving improperly, and I also want to find out if there is any evidence of his wrongdoing."
She told half of it and left the other half unsaid.
She hasn't found the right opportunity to give him that key yet.
Zhao Mingyan said, "It's not in this house, we'll have to look elsewhere."
Ji Qingwu nodded and said, "Then let's go to the backyard to find Su Daiyue's aunt." He had no objections.
Wei Tongyou, who was outside the door, suddenly shouted, "Master, you're back!"
The Wei family's daughter isn't stupid; she knows how to keep watch.
Zhao Mingyan glanced at the door and instructed, "Find an excuse to leave, and don't get entangled with him."
Ji Qingwu ignored what he said and pushed the emperor, who was about to slip out through the back window, into the storage cabinet on the side of the flower hall.
"Good brother, let's hide for a while."
