My Daughter Was My Sworn Enemy In Past Life

Chapter 21: Isnt it this Palace!? (2)

“… A Young lady should be quiet and elegant, she shouldn’t be like a naughty boy, that would be too unremarkable.” Ruan-shi continued nagging with a severe tone of voice and sighed, “No it’s more likely your dad has been spoiling you, I am afraid that when you ask for the moon in the sky, he would go and pick it for you, being a bit mischievous in his eyes is lively and cute.”

“Hmm hmm.” Xu Yun Yao didn’t hear what she said, so she nodded and made a sound in agreement twice.

Ruan-shi couldn’t help laughing, and pinched her face without mercy.

Xu Yun Yao looked up at her confused, with complaint in her big watery eyes.

What is the matter with this woman? She listened obediently, so why would she pinch her face?

She always got pinched whether she was obedient or disobedient, happy or angry. This Mrs. Bun was really hard to serve! She slandered.

There were strange things happening around her twice in a row, Xu Yunyao had no choice but to pay attention to it . However, Tang Song Nian being unable to return also attracted her attention, especially when she saw that both the mother and daughter-in-law Wang-shi and Ruan-shi could not hide their worries, she can’t help but secretly ponder.

Going out because of official matters? What official matters could it be? She looked at Mo Yan’s expression thoughtfully, and her sharp eyes did not miss the guilty conscience in his eyes.

Ruan-shi couldn’t find out anything from Mo Yan’s mouth. She was disappointed, and let Mo Yan retreat.

“Madam, don’t worry about it, master had said that he would return in several days. So, he would surely be fine, please wait with peace of mind.” Cui Wen comforted.

Hearing that, Ruan-shi forced out a slight smile.

What was that old man doing? Xu Yun Yao thought. chichipeph.com

At first, Tang Song Nian thought that, Prefect Wu had framed him to give him a serious blow, or his intention was still for gaining wealth a blow, . However, he didn’t expect that when he had just entered the government office, he would be directly thrown to prison.

He frowned and felt a bad premonition in his heart.

He waited patiently all night, only to find that no one came to interrogate him, except for the prison guard who came to deliver the meal.

Until the next day when the lights were on, finally his long awaited big bellied Prefect Wu showed up.

“Tang Song Nian, I didn’t expect you to have this day!” Prefect Wu said gloomily.

“What does the magistrate mean? No matter how unbearable this Tang is, I am still the imperial court’s officer. Now I am in prison without any justified reason, by facts, by justice and by law. Shouldn’t the magistrate give me an explanation?” Said Tang Song Nian while maintaining his composure.

Prefect Wu sneered and replied, “Explanation? It’s you who need to give “His royal highness” and “His majesty” an explanation.”

“Tang Song Nian, tell me the truth, why exactly did you collude with Ji Yuan Yi and intended to murder His royal highness?”

Tang Song Nian was surprised secretly. He thought about a thousand possibilities, but he didn’t expect to be arrested for this reason.

“What do you mean, my lord?” He asked while maintaining his composure.

“Don’t pretend to be an official. You are just commonner, and you have neither merit nor ancestry. If you don’t climb up to Ji Yuan Yi, how can you be an magistrate of Anping County ? To be honest, Ji Yuan Yi has been already sent to the prison by his majesty because of his intention to murder his highness. He will be executed soon. You’re recruited by him from the beginning, so be smart and confess, losing the title of an magistrate is just a small thing, I’m afraid that it will also implicate the elder and youngster in your family.”

Tang Song Nian’s heart was tightened, and his hands under the sleeve subconsciously clenched..

Lord Ji was sent to the prison by his majesty, because he intended to murder his royal highness? Impossible!. Lord Ji was the most powerful person around his royal highness Prince Rui. No matter what, he would never do such a wicked thing.

There must be some conspiracy in this!

He calmed his mind and said , “The world was initially chaotic , when the state of Qi was established. There were a lot of things waiting to be done in the imperial court.The dynasty was in the period of reconstruction and Your majesty had decreed to select talented and wise people to be used by the imperial court. If Tang was not talented, It can be verified by the general Meng Liang who had recommended me to be an official. If my lord is not convinced, you can check it out. ”

“Do you think that, if you tell me about the General Liang, I will be afraid of you? Since you’re not toasting the drink I’ve given you, I hope you won’t blame me for not being affectionate!”said magistrate Wu coldly.

Tang Song Nian had a calm face, as he watched him wave his hand. Immediately, several servants came up, and threw him out.

Although Xu Yun Yao was also surprised that the old man was not returning, she was nothing but a small girl now, and also knew that the old man would be prosperous in the future, so she was not worried, but instead more concerned about the strange things that happened around her.

In the next few days, she also encountered such strange things several times, and she gradually figured out some facts of the strange things.

For example, it must be when she was alone, and it happened more often in the night than in the day.

Although at present, it seemed like these strange things did not mean any harm to her, and sometimes even gave her a strange feeling that an invisible silhouette was waiting for her, but it did not prevent her from trying to make things clear.

That night, under Ruan-shi’s obvious absent-minded coax, she pretended to be asleep. She heard that Ruan-shi and Bi Wen left one after another, leaving only her in the room. She still pretended to sleep with her eyes closed, and calculated the time in her heart.

As time went by, someone entered the room midway and tucked the quilt for her. Seeing that she was still sleeping well, she blew out the candles and gently closed the door before walking out.

Xu Yun Yao was so young that she had been sleepy after concentrating on this for a long time, and she couldn’t hold on the urge to fall asleep. Suddenly, a pitiful voice rang in her ears.

“Wake up, please wake up, okay?”

She was startled, the sleep-inducing insect had already run away, and her heartbeat was speeding up involuntarily.

It was this voice, a voice that was strange and seemingly a bit familiar at the same time. .

The next moment, she heard the aggrieved voice again, “Why are you always not getting up? I’m afraid.”

Immediately, she felt a hand plunged into the thin quilt, and gently pulling the corner of her clothes.

This was the opportunity!

She grabbed the cloth-pulling hand violently with her one hand and got up suddenly, with the other hand unceremoniously yanking the face of the opponent who was squatting beside the bed.

But when she saw the silhouette’s face under the moonlight, her whole person was thunderstruck.

Wasn’t this not me?!!! Ah no, this was my face!!!
