Chapter 116 Betting
After a moment of silence, the noise continued.

"Hee hee, maybe Miss Duoyun is a descendant of a famous family, and I can't say which country the princess is from."

"Impossible. I heard that she doesn't behave like a lady of a family at all, and she doesn't have the demeanor of a princess at all. What's more, she is now living in the prince's mansion. I think it would be good for the prince to accept her as a side concubine."

"Our lord has always done things unexpectedly, so we don't care about rules or irregularities. I think it's hard to say what happened this time. Didn't lord let Miss Duoyun live in Luluoxuan? The intention is obvious."

"I just heard that the lord has doted on a girl named Xiaoya again."

Wu Yan looked out the window blankly, the voice behind her seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and finally she couldn't hear anything.Suddenly feeling very cold, even though it was early summer, Wu Yan hugged her arms tightly.There was a tall sheep's hoof plant growing outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom, but Wu Yan could clearly see a piece of pink petals drifting down with the wind soundlessly.

"Young master, are you interested in gambling?" A rough voice sounded beside Wu Yan.

Surprised, Wu Yan shuddered, then looked away, and saw a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes standing in front of her.Wu Yan asked inexplicably, "What are you betting on?"

"We are betting on whether the lord will marry Miss Duoyun. You are the only one who has not placed a bet in the entire tavern. Would you like to gamble? Look, there is the bet." The man said and turned to a table behind him. pointed.

Wu Yan looked intently and saw two piles of chips, one large and one small, on the table, so she asked: "Which pile is the gambling prince who wants to marry Miss Duoyun?"

"This pile." A person at the table immediately pointed to the smaller pile of chips and replied.

Wu Yan smiled bitterly, and said sadly: "I also bet that the prince will not marry Miss Duoyun."

"I bet the prince will marry." A loud voice sounded from the door, the voice was clearly annoyed.

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Gong Zhi strode forward, bowed to Wu Yan and said, "My lord, it's time to go back."

Wu Yan nodded, and followed Gong Zhi into the carriage.As soon as the carriage started, Wu Yan couldn't wait to ask Gong Zhi: "Are you all right? The follower got rid of it?"

"The car followed closely at the beginning, and I was about to give up the carriage, but for some reason, the car disappeared again. I drove around the street several times, and came to look for you only after making sure no one was following me."

"That's good." After Wu Yan finished speaking, she sat silently on the carriage, allowing Gong Zhi to drive her to the palace, but she was still thinking about the falling petals in her heart.

At this time, in a secluded alley a few streets away, Shangguan Yunfei was standing in front of an unremarkable carriage, staring at a man in gray in front of him.In Yiyue Tea House, looking down from the window on the second floor, he saw Wu Yan get into a carriage on the side of the street, and then a man in gray got into a carriage parked beside him and followed him.

Shangguan Yunfei immediately paid the bill and followed the carriage that the man in gray was riding on.The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.Shangguan Yunfei found that Wu Yan's carriage could not get rid of the following, so he took action to intercept it.

"Tell me, why did you follow that carriage, and who instructed you?"

The man in gray turned his head to one side, refusing to answer.

"Don't answer, right?" Shangguan Yunfei touched an acupuncture point on the man in gray, and the man in gray immediately felt sore and itchy all over his body as if being eaten by insects and ants.
