Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 112 Dan Niang's Mother
Wanyan Quxing saw that Danniang's cheeks were red and her eyes were wet, and he thought it was her reaction after seeing him.
Uh..., although Dan Niang did have this reaction after seeing him, it was completely different from what Wanyan Quxing thought.

Wanyan Quxing was immediately filled with joy. Dan Niang really loves me!
In the inner room, when Li Shishi heard the name "Little Prince Wanyan", she suddenly realized something.

It turned out to be a golden dog!

Li Shishi immediately looked at Yang Yuan with a sharp gaze.

She needed an explanation.

Yang Yuan understood what Li Shishi meant. He hesitated for a moment, then pulled Li Shishi's hand and... started writing on her hand.

He scratched Li Shishi's palm several times, and each scratch made her body tremble with itchiness.
Unable to bear it any longer, Li Shishi grabbed Yang Yuan's hand.

Yang Yuan was stunned, and saw Li Shishi grab one of his hands, then hold the index finger of his other hand, press it into his palm, and then glare at him fiercely.

Ah! I was confused. I could write on my own hand. She can see it.

Yang Yuan gave Li Shishi an awkward smile, and then began to write stroke by stroke on his open palm.

"Come here, the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin."

Yang Yuan was thinking about how to express it clearly using the shortest words and characters with fewer strokes.

So he thought about it for a while before continuing to write: "I, the Imperial City Division, am investigating the secrets of the Golden Man."

Li Shishi stared at Yang Yuan with her beautiful eyes without blinking.

Yang Yuan nodded to her seriously.

……

It's time for the Guoxin Office to adjourn for lunch.

The servants walked out of the yamen in twos and threes to have lunch.

After Ya Ge arrived near the National Information Institute, in less than an incense stick of time he became familiar with the vendor who was selling loquats and mulberries in baskets under a big tree outside the door.

At this time, he moved a stone, put a straw hat on his head, and sat side by side with the fruit vendor, chatting casually.

Suddenly, he saw the man drawn by his second brother among the soldiers who were walking out of the National Information Office in twos and threes.

Yang Yuan is a person who pays great attention to execution details. Among his targets, he chose the one with the most recognizable facial features.

So Brother Ya recognized him at a glance.

Brother Ya chatted and laughed with the vendor for a few more steps, then he stood up and slowly followed the man.

The man and several colleagues went to a snack bar not far from Guoxin Institute.

Ya Ge also walked in, turned his back to them, and sat down at a table nearby.

He ordered some food at random and ate slowly while listening to the noise coming from behind.

Soon, he got the first piece of information.

The person he was following was named Wang Jinbo.

……

Deputy Envoy Han was worried about going to the hotel lobby to listen to the candidates discussing current affairs, so he only drank two cups of tea and found an excuse to leave the tea room.

Wanyan Quxing was very fond of Deputy Envoy Han's tact. As soon as Deputy Envoy Han left, he immediately confessed his love to Dan Niang.

He couldn't wait any longer. The "Tianshen Festival" had passed and they would be returning home soon.

Dan Niang immediately acted as if she was full of concerns.

It is normal for a good girl who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River to feel uneasy when she is asked to leave her hometown and go to the far north.

When Wanyan Quxing saw Dan Niang hesitate, he became very anxious.

Before, even though Dan Niang was charming and a good girl who was hard to come by, Wanyan Quxing would be satisfied if he could take her body if he couldn't bring her back north.

But since he knew that Dan Niang was a descendant of the King of Jiangnan, his thoughts changed.

In the eyes of those who extremely admire the Central Plains culture, how could he bear to give up a girl who was the descendant of the master of poetry, had noble royal blood, and was also a stunning beauty?
How honorable it would be if I could keep her by my side?
In order to win her heart, Wanyan Quxing tried his best to brag about himself, almost exaggerating Zhongjingdu into a small Jiangnan in the northern frontier.

"I... naturally believe in the sincerity of the young prince, but I am inevitably worried about leaving my hometown and my relatives behind. Young prince, can you let me discuss this with my family again..."

"What is there to discuss? Our family is very powerful in the north, and we have a lot of land. If you can't bear to leave your family behind, take them all with you. I promise to give each of your family 500 acres of good land, and I will ensure that they have enough food and clothing..."

Behind the antique display cabinet, Yang Yuan had already been sitting on the ground.

No one can stand squatting like this all the time.

But Li Shishi suffered because she refused to sit like Yang Yuan, without caring about her image.

But Yang Yuan's legs were sore, how could she possibly hold on?

Li Shishi planned to change to a kneeling sitting position. Although there was no "heel support" and her knees would suffer, it was better than sitting on the ground with her legs crossed.

However, as soon as she moved, her elbow accidentally hit the cabinet door with a "bang".

For a moment, Yang Yuan and Li Shishi were stunned.

Outside the tea room, Wanyan Quxing instantly transformed from a bootlicker into a wolfdog, and his sharp eyes suddenly shot towards the inner room.

"Who is it, who is in there?"

The knife that was placed on his knee was already grasped in his hand.

Dan Niang's face turned pale and she reached out and touched the handle of the kettle.

If something unexpected happens, why bother with the plan? At most, a pot of boiling water will be poured on him. We can't let Erlang be killed by him! In the inner room, Yang Yuan made up his mind, reached out his hand and took out the white cloth from his arms, wanting to cover his face.

But, Li Shishi's bare hand pressed down his arm.

Yang Yuan looked at Li Shishi, who gently shook her head at him and then stood up.

"My name is Li, and I am honored to meet Prince Wanyan."

Wanyan Quxing knelt on the mat, holding the knife in one hand and the handle in the other. He looked like a tiger ready to bite its prey.

His eyes were fixed on the half-moon-shaped door between the two antique display cabinets.

Unexpectedly, a beautiful woman with graceful posture walked out gracefully from inside.

Wanyan Quxing's mouth opened wide.

Li Shishi stood still, stretched out her little finger, gently brushed the hair on her temples behind her ears, and raised her eyebrows and glanced at Wanyan Quxing.

Wanyan Quxing was so stunned by her sudden stunning beauty that he even spoke hesitantly.

"This... this lady, this lady is..."

"Ah! She...she is my slave...Mother, why did you come out?"

Dan Niang was so anxious that she didn't know how to introduce Li Shishi.

Li Shishi's dress and temperament are totally incompatible with those of a housemaid.

If she were her own female teacher..., she was the descendant of the King of Jiangnan, a great poet, and a royal noble. What did she need a female teacher to teach her?
When she was young, she had played the role of Aunt Rao's daughter many times when she cooperated with Aunt Rao in setting up the beauty trap.

At this time, the situation was urgent and I just called out.

This shout stunned all four people in the room, including Dan Niang herself.

Li Shishi was stunned. Do I have to have such an identity?

Yang Yuan covered his mouth behind the cabinet.

Wanyan Quxing widened his eyes. She...she is Dan Niang's mother?
Our mother-in-law is so beautiful!

Li Shishi's speed of getting into the role is much faster than Dan Niang's.

In just a moment, she quickly got into the role.

"I have heard my daughter talk about Young Prince Wanyan before, but I never thought we would meet under such circumstances..."

As Li Shishi spoke, she glared at Dan Niang in reproach.

Dan Niang stuck out her tongue and said to Wanyan Quxing, "I was drinking tea and chatting with my mother here, but you, my young master, came in without asking. My mother thought it was inconvenient to meet you rashly, so she went back to the inner room."

As she spoke, she stood up, walked over and took Li Shishi's arm.

Wanyan Quxing looked at Danniang, then at Li Shishi, and quickly apologized, "It's my fault, it's my fault. I was rude and put you in a difficult position."

As Wanyan Quxing said this, his heart was about to explode with joy.

Is our mother-in-law so stunning?
Oh my god! In my heart, Dan Niang is like a fairy from Gushe, incomparable.

Unexpectedly, when Dan Niang stood next to her mother, she was even three points inferior.

I must bring Dan Niang back to the Kingdom of Jin, and I also want to bring my mother-in-law with me!

"Why should you be polite, little prince Wanyan? Men from the north are rough and bold, so they are naturally not particular about small matters. Please take a seat, little prince."

Mrs. Li walked over slowly and sat in Dan Niang's seat naturally.

Dan Niang also sat to the side naturally and cooperated.

Yang Yuan sat behind the antique display cabinet, as if he was listening to a play "next door", he could only hear the sound but not see the person.

As soon as Li Shishi appeared, she took control of the overall situation.

The comfortable feeling that Wanyan Quxing had when he was with Dan Niang was gone. In front of Li Shishi, he was walking on thin ice.

The knowledge and elegance that Li Shishi displayed casually made him feel ashamed of himself.

The aristocratic etiquette and common sense that Dan Niang learned were limited in scope, so she did not dare to actively demonstrate them, as she would appear timid if she did so too much.

For Wanyan Quxing, who admired Han culture, Danniang's display was just right. It made him feel elegant, but not completely ignorant, and sometimes he could even show off.

But Li Shishi was different. She didn't need to show anything specially. Her casual behavior was the most impeccable aristocratic etiquette, and her casual words were the knowledge of songs and poems found in many rare and precious books.

Wanyan Quxing had never heard of anything like this before, and had never seen anything like this before, so in front of Li Shishi, he could only keep smiling, listen politely, and try not to talk.

The main thing is... I can't communicate.

However, although Li Shishi displayed an unparalleled elegance that made him look up to her, she did not have the slightest bit of an overbearing attitude.

This not only did not make Wanyan Quxing feel depressed, but instead ignited his stronger desire to conquer.

If he could obtain this lady and hide her in his golden house...

The thought of that possibility made him so excited that he wanted to faint.

When Wanyan Quxing left, it was because he had stayed too long today. Deputy Envoy Han felt that if he didn't leave now, it would be dark by the time he returned to Banjing Pavilion, so he sent someone to urge him. Only then did he reluctantly say goodbye to Madam Li and Dan Niang.

When he mounted his horse in a daze, even Deputy Envoy Han could see that something was wrong with him.

In the tea room, after confirming that Wanyan Quxing had gone downstairs, Li Shishi said calmly: "Erlang, won't you give me an explanation?"
