At night.

Xie Mingan returned to his study.

He originally wanted to go to Xie Suzhi to discuss matters related to Xie Yuanjiu.

In fact, the timing of Xie Yuanjiu's appearance at Zhang Liuye's place was too coincidental, and he also had many questions in his mind.

However, in order not to alert the enemy, he could only return to Beijing first and pretend to be final.

I wanted to discuss something with Xie Suzhi, but my confidant found Xie Ming'an instead.

"Second Young Master, as you expected, another group of us was intercepted by the Master's men."

The candlelight flickered, and Xie Mingan's eyes darkened.

The wind and snow roared outside, just like the noise in his heart.

"Where is the other group? Has my father found out?"

The confidant said: "The second young master has a clever plan. I didn't expect that we would arrange for two groups of people to go out. Therefore, we have found out some clues about Princess Funing's life experience."

After a while, the spies who had returned from the journey arrived.

Xie Mingan took the secret letter from him. It clearly stated that Shen Ningning was not a farmer's daughter.

Because, according to the customs clearance documents, the maid who was thinking deeply fled to Shuzhou in one breath.

We did not encounter any so-called bandit rebellion.

Therefore, what Xie Suzhi said about being rescued by the farmer was completely false!

Xie Mingan's heart felt heavy when he saw it, and his cold and handsome eyebrows also wrinkled.

His father Xie Suzhi lied.

But why did the father do this?

Xie Mingan put down the secret letter and came to the window.

It's still snowy and cold outside, and it's freezing to the bone.

Xie Mingan thought of a possibility.

Maybe Shen Ningning is really his sister.

The next day, Xie Mingan couldn't help it and went to Xiangyun Village to find Shen Ningning.

He had many doubts that he wanted to unravel.

However, when I arrived at Xiangyun Village and met Grandma Qin, I learned that the little guy was not at home.

Grandma Qin said with a smile: "The weather was cold. Ning Ning was afraid that there would be ice on Zuchang's grave, so she went to shovel the snow for him."

"Good boy, would you like to sit down and have a cup of hot tea?"

Xie Ming'an bowed his hands respectfully and said in a cold and pleasant voice: "Thank you, madam, but I have something urgent to see her."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Qin pointed to the location of Xitai Village.

"Then you go over the mountain. It's not far away. After leaving our village, go up the east side of the mountain and follow the path until you reach Xitai Village."

After that, Grandma Qin also put a tassel she had braided into Xie Ming'an's hand.

The old man smiled kindly and said: "If the tassels are hanging on your body, the wolves in the mountains will smell them and won't hurt you."

Xie Mingan bowed again and handed over his hands: "Thank you, madam."

He said and left quickly.

What Grandma Qin said was indeed true. As soon as he entered the path on the mountain, a wolf's head poked out from behind a nearby stone.

The wolf's clear, ice-yellow pupils stared at him for a long time.

Xie Mingan's hand gently placed on the sword at his waist.

Although his expression remained calm, there was wind under his feet and he walked a little faster.

There were more and more wolves around, observing him from nearby high and low points.

Xie Mingan was very keen and soon discovered that these wolves formed an encircling circle.

As long as the wolf king gives an order, they will rush from all directions and kill him in the enclosed circle.

However, the Black Wolf King did not show up.

One of the wolves saw the tassel on his waist and howled for a moment.

The wolves around him slowly left.

After two sticks of incense, Xie Mingan successfully climbed over the mountain and arrived near Xitai Village.

Xie Mingan was about to ask for directions to find the location of Wu Zuchang's grave.

But a noisy quarrel was heard.

He followed the sound and saw Chen Ye protecting Shen Ningning. The little guy's figure in brocade was surrounded by a group of villagers from Xitai Village.

The villagers were very excited and shouted that she was not welcome to come.

Shen Ningning was surrounded by so many people, but there was no look of fear on her face, but she became even more stern.

Her watery eyes stared at them.

"If you don't get out of the way, I won't be polite!"

The villagers in Xitai Village were not afraid of her threat at all.

They had been starving and freezing for days. Even if they didn't dare to provoke Shen Ningning before, they were now losing their minds as if they were crazy.

"How dare you come to Xitai Village to see if we were killed by you?"

"Village Chief Mei has been harmed by you. He was afraid of offending you and fell ill on the bed with fear. He was about to die. How can you be a lucky girl? You are clearly a disaster star!"

at this time.

Two people ran down the mountain, and they took several villagers with them.

They all held shovels and hoes in their hands.

As soon as he saw the two people, Chen Ye frowned: "Miss, it's Dong A Niu and Dong Ermu again!"

Shen Ningning looked up.

Sure enough it was them.

Dong A Niu actually colluded with the villagers of Xitai Village.

At this time, Shen Ningning took a closer look.

Dong Ermu, who was walking behind, actually held a skeleton in his hand and dragged it down from the mountain.

The bones were scattered in all directions along the bumpy journey.

The skull clattered along the hillside and landed directly at Shen Ningning's feet.

The little guy looked down and his eyebrows suddenly jumped.

Dong Ermu shouted: "Shen Ningning! You screamed like brother Zuchang, you should recognize that these are his bones, right?"

"Let me tell you, we have had enough of your oppression. You don't give us food or money. We can't touch you, so the Wu family has no peace!"

Shen Ningning suddenly raised her eyes.

When I saw the hoes in their hands, I understood everything.

They actually dug the Wu family's grave! They also pulled out all the bones.

The surrounding villagers also started to accuse each other.

"Actually, speaking of it, the Wu family was also killed by you. If you hadn't recruited the killer, how could they have died!"

"That's right, you should have paid us money in the first place. We only asked for a little from you. That's good enough!"

"Princess Funing, if you don't give us money, food, and quilts today, we will burn the bones of Wu Zuchang and his parents!"

Dong A Niu and Dong Ermu stood among the villagers and shouted together with the villagers.

Chen Ye couldn't bear it any longer and held the hilt of the sword to draw out the sword.

Xie Ming'an suddenly walked over with a gloomy face.

Although he is not yet sure whether Shen Ningning is his sister.

However, seeing such a small child being surrounded by this group of wolf-like villagers.

He couldn't help but feel the anger to kill someone!

However.

Not waiting for Xie Mingan to get closer.

Shen Ningning's eyes were already red, but her tone remained calm: "You want money, right? Okay, no problem."

The little guy held Chen Ye's hand and said, "I hid a lot of silver beside brother Zuchang's grave, planning to use it for emergencies in the future."

"If you want it, just follow me."

The villagers immediately happily followed Shen Ningning up the mountain.

They were still chanting: "This baby, if I don't push her hard, she will think we are easy to bully."

Someone lowered their voice: "She will give you silver soon, let's not give in, seize this good opportunity and order more!"

Dong A Niu even came up with an idea: "Besides, she is the princess, and she has many good things. What do we have to be afraid of when we get close to this money tree?"

The villagers nodded in agreement.

Everyone praised the brothers Dong A Niu and Dong Ermu, and they immediately pinched Shen Ningning's weakness.

They can't afford to offend the living, but what can they do about the dead?

Chen Ye followed Shen Ningning, already furious.

"Miss, they..."

Shen Ningning's childish and soft voice came from before: "It doesn't matter, I can give it, but they have to live to take it."

Chen Ye was shocked when he heard the words and looked up.

All you could see was the profile of Shen Ningning's little face, full of cold hatred.
