Chapter 255: Inn Surveillance
Shangguan Juan is easy to be soft-hearted, and he definitely won't bear to let these minions be punished, so Mu Chenyu poked at her weakness when she said this idea.
"Come on, bring it."
Having said that, Shangguan Juan also had to choose to compromise.
Just as Mu Chenyu was about to hand her food, Ning Hou came back, still with a tired look on his face.
"Daddy, where did you go when you didn't come back last night?"
Seeing that the person was back, where Shangguan Juan could sit still, he got up and stepped forward to meet him, and saw that although he looked tired, there were no scars on his body, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Hou wanted to explain, but he was really sleepy after not sleeping all night, so he could only comfort: "It's just that it's okay to go out of the city to deal with some things and be delayed, it's just that I am a little tired after not sleeping all night, so I will go back to rest first for my father." ”
"Then Daddy, go and rest." Shangguan Qian saw that he was tired and didn't seem to be fake, so he could only let him go back to rest.
Waiting for Ning Hou's figure to gradually disappear in front of her, Shangguan Juan thought about it carefully, and finally felt that something was wrong: "Xiao Jiu, go and inquire where Daddy went yesterday?" ”
"Yes, miss."
Mu Chenyu retreated to inquire, and when he came back, it was already time for a stick of incense, but he didn't inquire about anything.
This result did not reassure Shangguan Juan, but made her feel even more strange.
"Miss, but do you want to continue the investigation?"
Shangguan Juan heard the voice and refused: "Since the investigation can't be done, I can only put it on hold first, and then see the situation later." ”
Anyway, Ning Hou is now her father, and she can't restrain him too much as a daughter, and she is looking for someone to continue to follow him, if Ning Hou finds out, she may not be embarrassed.
Shangguan Juan had scruples in her heart, Mu Chenyu didn't understand, she only knew how to follow her orders.
And Shangguan Juan also put down the worries in her heart and no longer let people inquire about Ning Hou's affairs, but after three days, she began to worry again.
Because Ning Hou didn't return home at night for three days in a row, she really couldn't bear it, and stopped Ning Hou from leaving when he was about to go out again on the fourth day.
"Wanwan, why are you here?" Ning Hou looked at his daughter blocking the door, and asked in a soft tone.
Shangguan Juan glanced at the carriage behind him and knew that he was going to run errands again, although he didn't know what was so mysterious.
As a daughter, she won't stop her, but she won't let him go on like this: "Daddy, my daughter wants to go with you." ”
"Don't mess around, for my father, I'm going to work." No matter how much Ning Hou loves his daughter, she is still not allowed to act so willfully in the face of important matters.
His momentum was full of momentum, and it was estimated that other people or Aunt Shen would have the foresight to leave, but Shangguan Juan was unbiased: "Daddy, if you don't allow your daughter to go with you, then don't think about going." ”
When Ning Hou heard this, a rare trace of anger appeared on Shangguan Wan's face, but he couldn't bear to scold his daughter, so the situation was deadlocked.
Until a warm voice suddenly sounded: "It's not impossible for Miss Shangguan to go together." ”
Shangguan Wan followed the sound source and looked over and found that the person who came was Xie Jiang, at this time he was wearing a turquoise robe, the whole person was so gentle that he couldn't speak, and the smile on his face seemed to ease the dryness in people's hearts a little.
Ordinary women may fall into it when they see it, but Shangguan Juan is different, she was only stunned for a while, and guessed a possibility after thinking of what he had just said.
If it wasn't a coincidence that Xie Jiang came here at this time, wouldn't it be that he and Ning Hou were doing that mysterious thing together?
Thinking of this, she looked at Xie Jiang with puzzled eyes, and he also guessed the doubt in her eyes and replied, "Just as Miss Shangguan thought." ”
Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone present could hear what he meant.
"Then thank you so much for your understanding." Shangguan Juan was curious, but he didn't ask anything in front of everyone, but said this to Xie Jiang with a smile.
Since he decided to follow, Shangguan Juan naturally got into Ning Hou's carriage, and Mu Chenyu was about to follow her into the carriage when Ning Hou, who didn't speak, said: "You go back first." ”
"Daddy, just let Xiao Jiu follow, he won't mess with trustworthiness."
Shangguan Juan heard what he said and pleaded for Mu Chenyu, but Ning Hou didn't sell it this time, and asked him to leave immediately.
Seeing that the situation was about to stalemate again, Xie Jiang sighed in his heart, and resigned himself to stepping forward to speak for Mu Chenyu: "Master Hou, let him follow, if he really dares to report the news, it will not be too late to deal with it when the time comes, the top priority is that the matter must be done." ”
"Since you have said so, Ben Hou should give you a face." Ning Hou was worried about Xie Jiang in the end, so when he saw him talk about this matter again, he could only compromise and let Mu Chenyu get into the carriage.
Because the carriage was a little crowded with Mu Chenyu joining, Ning Hou finally followed Xie Jiang into his carriage.
The carriage began to move, and a stick of incense soon stopped at the back door of an inn, and the four of them got out of the carriage together.
Along the way, Shangguan Juan and Mu Chenyu followed the two of them to the room on the third floor, and after going up, the two found that the window of the room was open.
Xie Jiang and Ning Hou skillfully sat down in front of the window, Shangguan Juan was really curious, and pulled Mu Chenyu to the position of the other window sill to sit down and look over.
This look really made the two of them see some tricks.
Mu Chenyu found that he could see most of the scene of the capital from this windowsill, and even the mansion of the Ministry of Shangshu could be seen.
Mu Chenyu has been busy with too many things on weekdays, and as a prince, he naturally has a lot of responsibility, so he rarely comes to leisure places such as inns.
Naturally, I didn't know that the window on the third floor of this inn room could overlook most of the capital.
After a while, he reverted to his usual image of not talking much when he found that Ning Hou was looking at him.
Ning Hou didn't pay too much attention to him, but started talking to Xie Jiang about something.
Shangguan Juan combined what they said, and when he saw the Ministry of Officials' Mansion, he determined that the reason why Ning Hou and Xie Jiang didn't return at night these days was to monitor the Officials' Mansion!
At the same time, she was even more convinced in her heart that the matter of the fraud of the Ministry of Officials was very likely to be true!
"Daddy, did you see any flaws in the past few days?"
Shangguan Juan joined the conversation between the two, and the expression on his face was unprecedentedly serious.
"Nothing has been found." Shangguan Juan could guess what they were doing, and Ning Hou didn't feel strange at all, so he answered her question.
Seeing this, Xie Jiang also began to add: "I have been monitoring Hou Ye for a long time these days, they are either not going out or doing extremely normal things, it seems that it is possible that they have become vigilant because of the leakage of the news." ”
Shangguan Wan heard them say this and was about to say what he thought, when suddenly a huge noise suddenly sounded not far away, and a burst of sound suddenly sounded.
