"Then you can leave first, Wei Wei. If you get any other news, let me know," Wei Shuxuan looked at Wei Wei. "You'll have to work hard for a while longer. You'll be back soon."
"Yes, Miss."
Even though Wei Shuxuan had a reunion with Wei Wei, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, the previous night, the next day they still had to act like strangers. To avoid arousing others' suspicion, Wei Shuxuan would always avoid making eye contact with Wei Wei and just go about her business as usual.
However, from Wei Wei's words, Wei Shuxuan got some information. Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind. She wanted to sneak into the Qiangfeng Kingdom and find out about Sima Tianhai by herself. She also really wanted to know the real reason why Xin Yeheng pretended not to know her.
But then she remembered what Xin Zizhao had told her when she was about to leave the palace, "You'll be alone outside without us. Don't do anything dangerous."
At that time, she had promised him. Thinking of this, Wei Shuxuan felt a bit annoyed. She thought she shouldn't have promised. But if she went alone without telling Xin Zizhao, he wouldn't blame her since he wouldn't know. Because if she didn't solve the problem by herself, she would feel really uncomfortable.
After having beef noodles, Wei Shuxuan went back to her room, took out some silver, and then left the inn. Wei Wei, who had turned back into Zhang Er, watched Wei Shuxuan's hasty back as she left. He couldn't help but feel a bit confused.
Wang Wu, who was working, saw Wei Wei staring at the back of the young lady on the third floor. Taking advantage of the fact that the shopkeeper wasn't paying attention, he sneaked up to him and asked in a very curious tone, "Zhang Er, are you smitten with that rich and pretty young lady on the third floor?"
Wei Wei, with Zhang Er's face, didn't say a word.
"If you are, don't be shy. Big brother will help you. Anyway, there are plenty of tools in the inn now. We can do whatever we want."
Hearing Wang Wu's tone, Wei Wei immediately understood what he meant and suddenly felt a sense of disgust towards him. He kept a straight face and replied calmly, "Thank you, Big Brother Wang Wu. I don't need that. I'll go back to work first."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Really..." Wang Wu didn't seem to notice the disgust in Wei Wei's tone. He just smiled and chased after him.
Wei Wei didn't like it when someone said such things to insult the young lady and the master he respected the most.
Wei Shuxuan walked out of the Sanmei Inn. Now, she wanted to buy a set of men's clothing from the Qiangfeng Kingdom first. She planned to disguise herself as a man and sneak into the Qiangfeng Kingdom to find out information.
She asked several people before she found out where there was a shop selling Qiangfeng Kingdom's clothing. She walked in the direction the passer - by had pointed and saw a shop named "Common People's Clothing".
"Hello, miss. What would you like to buy?" The shopkeeper was a middle - aged man. He looked quite kind. As soon as he saw a customer come in, he greeted her with a beaming smile.
"Hello. Do you sell men's clothing from the Qiangfeng Kingdom?" Wei Shuxuan got straight to the point as soon as she came in.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment because there were very few people here who would buy Qiangfeng Kingdom's clothing. Seeing the shopkeeper was stunned, Wei Shuxuan asked, "Does the shopkeeper have any difficulties?"
".....No, no. It's just that generally there are very few people in our town who buy Qiangfeng Kingdom's clothing. So, there aren't many styles and sizes in the shop. I wonder if the miss would mind?"
"Please take them out for me to have a look."
The shopkeeper took out all the Qiangfeng Kingdom's clothing in his shop. "Miss, have a look. They're all here. There are men's and women's clothing."
Wei Shuxuan scanned them. When she saw a color she liked, she picked it up and measured it. This one seemed quite good. She looked at a few more pieces. Just as she was about to pick one up to measure it, she heard a familiar male voice from behind, "Shopkeeper, I'd like to order a set of men's clothing now. Just make it in the style of the Qiangfeng Kingdom."
As soon as the voice fell, Wei Shuxuan quickly turned around and met the man's gaze behind her. She stared at him in surprise with wide eyes. "Zian!"
"Xuan'er!" Ge Zian was equally surprised. Although he had heard from Xin Zizhao that Wei Shuxuan had come to the border area, because of the affairs in the military camp and the Qiangfeng Kingdom, he had never had the time to contact Wei Shuxuan. He was really surprised to meet Wei Shuxuan here this time.
"Zian, you're here to buy clothes too? But you're buying men's clothing from the Qiangfeng Kingdom?" Hearing Ge Zian's words, Wei Shuxuan had a rough idea in her mind.
"Yes. I'm going to the Qiangfeng Kingdom," Ge Zian, considering there were outsiders here, didn't find it convenient to say the rest of the words. "I'll tell you in detail later."
"Okay."
The shopkeeper measured Ge Zian's size, let him choose a few colors, and then told him to come back in a few days to pick up the clothes. Wei Shuxuan quickly selected two sets of men's clothing and two sets of women's clothing. After paying the money, she dragged Ge Zian away.
The two of them went to a teahouse with a lot of customers. They chose a private room on the upper floor, closed the door, and started to talk about their recent experiences.
When Wei Shuxuan talked about Xin Yeheng, she was really a bit sad. Although Ge Zian was on the border, he more or less knew what had happened in the capital. "Xuan'er, from what you said, Yeheng should have been controlled by someone. That's why he did such things. Don't worry too much."
"Forget it. Let's not talk about this. By the way, Zian, are you planning to sneak into the Qiangfeng Kingdom?"
"Yes. I'm going to find out some things," Ge Zian frowned when he heard this. "Xuan'er, you're not planning to sneak into the Qiangfeng Kingdom with me, are you?"
"Zian, you really understand me..."
"No, Xuan'er. If Mr. Xin finds out, I'll be in big trouble."
Before Wei Shuxuan could say what she wanted to say next, Ge Zian flatly refused her request. Wei Shuxuan had known that Ge Zian would say something like this. "Zian, do you think that just because you mention Xin Zizhao, I won't go? If you don't go with me, I'll just go by myself."
It really didn't matter to Wei Shuxuan whether she went alone or with someone else.
Ge Zian was a bit helpless. He definitely couldn't let Wei Shuxuan go alone. If something happened, he would be the one in trouble. Seeing Ge Zian's expression waver, Wei Shuxuan curled her lips. "Zian, as long as neither of us tells Xin Zizhao, how could he possibly know? We'll do it first and then tell him. By then, he won't be able to do anything to us. Right?"
It's just that he won't be able to do anything to you, Ge Zian thought silently.
