Just as everyone had guessed, Nangong Waner appeared in Shangjing City the next day.

When he left, he sneaked around, but when he returned, he was filled with vigor.

He had always kept a low profile, how could he rush back in time to celebrate the birthday of the Lord Assistant Minister? The liveliness of the Shangjing City was even more lively than the day Chu Xiuhan returned from his triumphant return.

This scene... Isn't this a bit too grand …

Nangong Waner did not react in time either. It had only been a few months, what had happened in Shangjing?

Nangong Waner lifted the curtain of the carriage, and curiously looked outside.

"Look, look, Nangong Waner is back. Nangong Waner is back." Within the crowd, someone shouted and everyone started to discuss.

"That's right, that's right, my seventh uncle's second uncle's family's wife is cooking in the Assistant Minister’s Residence. She told me that Nangong Waner did indeed look like that."

"Then it looks like there is no child, this must be Nangong Waner's carriage, why didn't I see Prince Zhan? Did Nangong Waner come back? Prince Zhan still hasn't found her? "

"That seems to be the case. If Prince Zhan were to find Nangong Waner, would he still be able to come back alive?"

"Yeah, yeah."

Just then, Nangong Waner stretched his head out to take a look, and the spectators on both sides of the road started to guess what kind of rumors were going around. On the other hand, Nangong Waner did not hear any of them clearly, he only heard that both sides of the road were packed with people, as if they were watching a show.

"Chu Xiuhan..." Nangong Waner looked around for a while, then closed the curtain and sat back down.

"Right." Prince Zhan was not that curious, he was still sitting upright, with his eyes closed in the carriage, as though he was resting.

"Do you know how many commoners were welcomed on both sides of the road?" Nangong Waner paused for a moment, and before he could receive a reply from the Prince Zhan, Nangong Waner had already spoken out loud with a blink of his eyes, "From the top of the city to the inside of the city! The scene is so grand, I just want to see it. It's even more lively than when you went to the border and reversed the situation. "

While talking, Nangong Waner's expression changed subtly, and laughed sinisterly: "Chu Xiuhan, do you think that in the few months that you're not here, an extraordinary person appeared in Shangjing City and beat you down?"

After Nangong Waner finished speaking, she opened her big watery eyes and stared at Chu Xiuhan very intently, waiting for his reply. But the purpose was to wait for Chu Xiuhan to reply and ridicule him.

Chu Xiuhan naturally knew of Nangong Waner's thoughts, he restrained the smile in the bottom of his heart and pretended to be extremely casual as he said, "That's true, now that there's an extraordinary person in Shangjing, his fame has already overshadowed me."

"Ah?" So my guess is true?! "Then tell me, who was that person?"

"You …" Chu Xiuhan said lightly.

Nangong Waner was a little doubtful. He looked at Chu Xiuhan, and then pointed a finger at himself. "Me?"

Nangong Waner and Prince Zhan's carriage had not even reached Assistant Minister’s Residence, yet the news of Nangong Waner returning to Shangjing City alone, had already spread to Assistant Minister’s Residence, no, throughout the entire Shangjing City.

Just as everyone had predicted, Nangong Waner had returned before Lord Assistant Minister's birthday. And he came back alone!

It seemed like Prince Zhan went out to find some people, but he did not manage to find anyone. Prince Zhan suffered a great humiliation at Nangong Waner's place, and when Prince Zhan returned to Shangjing City, wouldn't Prince Zhan still be able to … No one dared to imagine.

The Lord Assistant Minister was sitting at home, so the news came from the sky, and after hearing the news, the Lord Assistant Minister was truly afraid.

Not long after Lord Assistant Minister received the news, Nangong Waner returned to Assistant Minister’s Residence alone with a dozen or so bags of scrolls.

Lord Assistant Minister had imagined countless of times that he would be reunited with Nangong Waner. In that scene, all he could think about were breaking Nangong Waner's legs, twisting and breaking his arms, beating his butt until it bloomed like a flower, etc.

Even the Lord Assistant Minister didn't expect that when he saw Nangong Waner carrying more than ten bags, big and small, with his eyes still blurry, and even walk in a crooked manner, the Lord Assistant Minister would feel his heart ache … The child came back from escaping from a calamity …

"Butler!" Close the door! Close the door quickly! " Lord Assistant Minister thought that the news of Nangong Waner's return must be sealed, and must not be transmitted to his ears. In short, every day that he could hide would be a day.

"My son …" Lord Assistant Minister was so excited that she was about to cry, "Wan Er, you've suffered." Lord Assistant Minister's heart ached for her daughter. She really had snot and tears flowing down her face.

Nangong Waner dragged dozens of big and small bags by himself, and after bearing the weight of Lord Assistant Minister's flying pouncing towards him, Nangong Waner struggled to pull at the corner of his eyes.

"Go back to your room and rest. Don't worry about it. If anything happens, your father will carry it for you. At most …" "Worse comes to worst, father will go to the emperor's side and beg him to mediate."

Lord Assistant Minister wiped his mucus and tears, patted his chest and said boldly.

Nangong Waner was confused, what happened to Lord Assistant Minister? Why did it have to be different from what he had expected? He had caused such a disaster and just left a letter and ran. According to Lord Assistant Minister's temperament, this was the first time they had met after a long absence … Shouldn't it be breaking her legs, twisting her arms, or beating up her ass?

That was why she made sure not to let Chu Xiuhan send her back. She even seriously told Chu Xiuhan that if he didn't stop Chu Xiuhan from finding her within the next half a month, he would be afraid that she wouldn't be able to save her face in front of Chu Xiuhan.

But what was Lord Assistant Minister singing today?

"Father, I …" Just as Nangong Waner wanted to ask, Lord Assistant Minister called for Ju Xiang to bring the girls and urged him to go back to his room to rest.

"Forget it, forget it. Since Lord Assistant Minister isn't playing according to the rules, I'll go back and rest." Nangong Waner tossed over a dozen bags to Ju Xiang and went back to his own courtyard.

Nangong Waner was indeed a little tired. After all, he had traveled for so long, and to suddenly lie on his bed, Nangong Waner felt extremely satisfied in the depths of his heart.

Nangong Waner lied down for a while before he fell asleep.

It was so much so that Ju Xiang didn't even have the time to ask her who had saved her after she was kidnapped by bandits. In short, Ju Xiang received a message saying that Nangong Waner was very safe.

Ju Xiang also really wanted to ask, did Prince Zhan really chase after her? Ju Xiang did not believe it, but the rumors were spreading too far.

Nangong Waner actually had something he wanted to ask Ju Xiang as well. What happened to Lord Assistant Minister today? So abnormal.

Most importantly, Nangong Waner had already planned to tell Ju Xiang that when they were at Brightmoon Town, the reason the bandits did not rob her was purely because Ju Xiang was not good-looking!

However … Nangong Waner was very disappointing for him to fall asleep on the bed, which allowed the master and servant to ask him a belly full of questions without asking one.
