After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 353 Something is wrong

Yan Jun was rendered speechless by Song Lan's few words.

Never before had he hated his own clumsy tongue as much as he did now.

The atmosphere between the two grew increasingly quiet and awkward.

until--

"Prefect! Are you really sure that Madam Song is heading in this direction?"

Jiao Bubai's muttering voice drifted over from afar.

"The Princess's residence is exquisite and luxurious in every way, how could there be such a desolate place here?"

"This place is quite far from where the banquet is being held. Why would Madam Song come here alone?"

"Prefect, you must be mistaken?"

"You must have seen wrong!"

"You, Prefect, have only met Madam Song a few times, have you? How can you be so sure that person is Madam Song just from her silhouette? It's probably just a similar figure."

"You probably don't even know what color or style of clothes Madam Song is wearing today."

Jiao Bubai muttered to himself, his mouth never stopping the whole way.

The Prefect of Jingzhao was furious. He stopped, turned around, and kicked him twice.

Why are you talking so much?

My mind was already a mess, and this idiot was still there, buzzing around like a fly chanting a sutra, incessantly.

It's so annoying!

"I've never seen you utter so many words before!"

The Prefect of Jingzhao glared at the man, then looked at the endless expanse of wild grass, which was more than half a person tall, and began to doubt himself: "How strange. I clearly remember that when I looked here, the surroundings were not overgrown with weeds like this."

He spotted Song Lan at a glance!
Oh, and there was Yan Jun following behind them. The Prefect of Jingzhao hesitated for a moment, thinking that the couple were probably looking for a quiet place to whisper sweet nothings, and it would be rather inconsiderate for him to go and clean up at that time.

However, the bizarre unsolved case from a few days ago was also extremely urgent.

If there are indeed evil spirits causing trouble, they should be found as soon as possible to prevent them from continuing to harm people and causing countless innocent souls to be harmed.

Little did he know, he hadn't even decided whether or not to go up and at least say hello.

Jiao Bubai, that simpleton, came over like a pest, insisting that he take him to visit the Princess's... distinguished guest, Song Lan.

The Jingzhao Prefecture officials, having exhausted all other options, finally led their men to follow Song Lan's direction and arrive here.

I never expected to walk into a place that looks more like an abandoned house.

The Prefect of Jingzhao felt inexplicably irritated and looked at Jiao Bubai with even greater disdain.

"It's all your fault, nagging and nagging. Look at you, you've messed up my thoughts."

The Prefect of the Capital Garrison snorted angrily: "How come I never noticed before that beneath your taciturn exterior lies the heart of a chatterbox!"

Had I known Jiao Bubai was like this, the Prefect of Jingzhao would never have promoted that kid!

“I didn’t want to either…” Jiao Bubai touched his nose: “It’s just that the place you took me to is visibly eerie.”

He glanced at the Prefect of the Capital: "But you seemed completely oblivious, focusing solely on leading me inside!"

"I had no other choice but to use this method to wake him up."

The Prefect of Jingzhao frowned: "What do you mean?"

He looked around but didn't see anything amiss.

What's so weird about it?

Jiao Bubai sighed: "Didn't you notice? The more we follow the direction you think Madam Song went, the taller and denser the weeds around us become."
