The second set of Case Files of the Granary of Heaven Chapter 26: Being Underestimated...

  Pink ticket, pink ticket, calling pink ticket~~~~Thank you all for your support, thank you very much.

  Nangong Qiuye's expression remained calm, but when Chu Yue walked out of the meeting hall, she took a glance at his back.

  Although the stolen official grain has nothing to do with me, Nangong Qiuyue can indeed not report it to Chu Yue, but why didn't she tell me? As I glanced over, Nangong Qiuyue happened to turn around, and our eyes met. He furrowed his brow: "Is the lady also blaming Qiuyue for not reporting in time?" Nangong Qiuyue put down her teacup, looking at me with concern.

  "Uh... no, no, no, it's useless for you to tell me, I should inform my family instead."

  "No." Nangong Qiuxue pursed her lips and shook her head. "Qiuxue has already told her, when she saw you, she forgot."

  Forgot... She magnificently ignored me. She should be Xiao Jiu.

  "Yesterday... you still have to deal with Chun Yu's affairs on her behalf, so Qiu Yue doesn't want to trouble you further. After all, you're new to being the Protector of the Nation's wife, and there are too many things at once, it's too much for you."

  Well, it turns out I underestimated your abilities. His words really didn't make me happy at all.

  "Are you... angry?"

  "No, I don't." I also know that I'm being hypocritical. I'm no saint. When the other person says you're not capable, I can still smile and nod in agreement.

  I stood up, and Nan Gong Qiuyue also got up at the same time. I walked towards the door, he stretched out his hand to block me, the blue-green sleeve fluttering gently in front of my face.

  "You're angry."

  "I don't have it, I'll go see if Chunyu has gone to the appointment."

  "I'm with you."

  "No need." I stepped around his arm and stopped at the doorway, "What did Yin Gong find out about the stolen official grain?"

  "No. Without a directive from the main house, the Shadow Palace will not investigate on its own initiative, lest it bring trouble upon itself."

  "Hmph." I sneered, "Playing it safe and watching the show?"

  "Madam." Nangong Qiuyue walked to the front of me, making me face him directly. He let out a sigh, "This matter has nothing to do with the Wind family, the imperial court will handle it themselves."

  "Got it." As he left, he didn't say another word, the wind was quiet, just like his shadow quietly reflected on the ground.

  I don't understand this person.

  What's going on in the outside world? I feel like I've been isolated. The things Nangong Qiuxue tells me are all trivial matters, perhaps he thinks it's enough to tell Xiaojie the important things. But isn't this the ordinary life of a normal person that I wanted? What am I still worried about?

  Unconsciously, I walked into the Taolin of the Hu Guo Fu and sat down at the stone table in the peach forest, starting to stare blankly. I didn't go to Chun Yu's place, his affair really annoyed me. From a friend's perspective, I should support him eloping. From the perspective of the Hu Guo Fu's wife, I should stop him. It was hard for me to be loyal and righteous at the same time, not to mention that I had personal feelings towards him.

  "Hey, what's bothering you?"

  I raised my head to look, on the peach blossom tree, crouched a figure in crimson clothes, with black edges and still wearing a large lapel, between his collarbones was that same tooth-shaped pendant. Under his thick eyebrows were his dazzling smiling eyes.

  He jumped down and took out twenty taels from his bosom: "I'm here to pay the tuition."

  I lazily glanced at the silver coins, shining brightly. But they had no allure to me, and I only focused on them because of boredom.

  "Hey, didn't you agree? Want to go back on your word?" Hou Xuan pushed me and I looked up at him: "Go get the pen and ink."

  "Brush and ink? Isn't it a mnemonic?" His eyes sparkled.

  "Less nonsense, go get it or don't."

  "Alright." Later, Xuan flew out of the peach forest in high spirits and soon returned with a brush and ink.

  I nodded and Mo Xuan sat on the stone bench, looking at the brush in my hand with an unusual seriousness. I drew a daruma doll and threw it to Mo Xuan: "Get someone to make one as tall as a person, come find me when you're done."

  "What? Become a big toppler!"

  "Ah!" In the midst of Hou Xian's surprise, I stuffed the silver into my sleeve and continued to lean against the stone table in a daze.

  "Swish!" The paper flew out of his hand: "What's this?!"

  "For practicing."

  "Practicing with a wooden stake? Who uses this?! Ah? Where's my money?"

  I lazily use one hand to support my face, while the other hand searches for money on the side.

  "If you want to learn my kung fu, you have to use the iron staff. If you're not happy about it, then don't learn." I said lazily, having already found the back string on the ground. He heard my words and straightened his body: "Alright, I'll go do it. Have you seen my silver?"

  "Silver? Didn't you take it back?"

  "Taken back?" Hou Xuan was puzzled, took out his pouch, shook it, and smiled. "It turns out I had put it away properly. Recently I've been learning martial arts, looks like the trip there is cancelled."

  "Are you done?" My voice was still lazy, "Tonight she'll be going to Jia Mingkai's place to liven things up, do you want to go together, we can watch the free performance."

  When I mentioned the two words "free", I found a sharp glint flashing in the eyes of the person behind, apparently a kindred spirit.

  He lowered his eyes, clenched his fists and coughed: "Cough, I have plenty of money to spend, but tonight is chaotic and Chunyu is injured, so I'll reluctantly go with you this time to protect you."

  "Wow——" Fingers knocked on the stone table, lazily looking at Hou Xuan's serious face, this kid was actually a stubborn master.

  So that night, I got on the carriage with Hou Xuan and Chun Yu. With Hou Xuan by my side, I had an excuse not to let Nan Gong Autumn follow. Although his face was expressionless, I knew he wasn't happy in his heart. He stood at the gate of the Guardian Mansion, seeing us off until I couldn't see his figure anymore.

  On the carriage, Hou Xian and Chun Yu got into another quarrel. Hou Xian said that Chun Yu's injury looked fake and insisted on dislocating Chun Yu's arm. Of course, Hou Xian was just joking, but his tone and expression were always so annoying. Back and forth, the two people really started arguing and almost fought in the carriage, I almost hugged my head and jumped off the carriage.

  Imagine that even the good-tempered Nan Gong would be infuriated by Hou Xuan, let alone the originally irascible Chun Yu.

  I highly recommend Wind's "I Don't Want to Be an Emperor"

  Book number: 1080892

  Fu Yiran is still the Princess Fengming of the Great Yu Dynasty, but because she kicked the Emperor on the Golden Throne, her princess title was cancelled and she was demoted to a commoner and sent to the quarry in Jingzhou as a slave. Thus began her tumultuous journey, and also started her own dramatic life.
