C93 A Thief Who Sees Injustice on the Road
If it was true, could she really just leave when Zhou Qu was already with someone else?
If not, what could she do? Could it be that she wanted him to share a room with another woman?
Absolutely not!
Lee Wanning was still holding the jade pendant Ann Wen had given her previously. She did not forget this treasure, as he had said before, if there was anything that she needed help with in Capital City, she could find him.
Now, Lee Wanning was going to look for him.
Otherwise, a small peasant girl like her would not even have the chance to enter the General Mansion gate.
In the past, she had always hoped that she wouldn't be an ordinary person and that Zhou Qu could become the one that everyone respected. But now, Lee Wanning suddenly realized that the ordinary days of the past were the most real.
Lee Wanning didn't want to think anymore. Tomorrow, she could go into the city, Zhou Bao had already fallen asleep in her words and pouted his lips. He was very obedient, making Lee Wanning feel that even if she cried, he wouldn't have a father to protect him.
At dawn, Lee Wanning woke up and changed into a new set of clothes. She put on a pearl hairpin and walked out of the inn with Zhou Bao in her arms.
After settling the bill, Lee Wanning got into the carriage.
In modern times, no matter how far away, as long as the plane can reach, it is not far.
And these five days …
Compared to the past year, it was much more difficult to endure. Lee Wanning felt as if something was tied to her as soon as she thought of him, or should she interrogate him.
Once they reached the Capital City, it was still early in the morning. After Lee Wanning paid the carriage's boss, she found an inn to stay.
She planned to rest for a while and go out to ask about Zhou Qu.
Lee Wanning paid the bill and was about to go upstairs when she heard a voice from behind her, "Let's go! Let's go!" What are you doing blocking my way? Get lost! "
Lee Wanning turned around to see a young girl dressed in tattered clothes. There was something hanging in front of her, and just as the waiter was about to chase her away, she kneeled down and said, "Please, Big Brother, I really don't have anywhere else to go. If you don't let me stay here, then my father will never be able to be buried!"
As the little girl spoke, her tears flowed unceasingly. Lee Wanning's heart froze for a moment before she slowly walked forward.
On the plaque on the girl's chest, there were a few words, "Selling your body to bury your father."
Lee Wanning looked at her petite appearance and was about to give her some money when a voice came from the front. "That's right. What are you trying to do?"
Lee Wanning turned around to see someone wearing a long green robe with a brown belt tied around his waist. On the belt, there was a short sword. He looked delicate and pretty, but when he looked at the crowd, his eyes were filled with mockery.
Lee Wanning disliked her from the first moment.
However, when the waiter saw her, he immediately went up to her and said, "Aiyo, Miss Wang, quickly come in. I will chase this girl away!" "We must not disturb Miss Wang's mood!"
Wang Yanran's eyes looked over there. When she walked inside, she saw Lee Wanning standing there with Zhou Bao in her arms.
Wang Yanran glanced at her from top to bottom before sneering coldly and walking over.
Lee Wanning didn't want to say anything to her, so she walked up to the little girl before the waiter could open his mouth and asked, "How much money do you need?"
The waitress was about to come up, so she had to stop when she heard Lee Wanning's words. The girl was crying, but after hearing Lee Wanning's words, she looked up at Lee Wanning with red eyes and said, "I …" "One tael of silver."
Lee Wanning was still thinking about what she should do if she offered a sky-high price, but when she heard her words, she immediately put a silver coin in her hands and said, "That's all you have to say, hurry back home and bury your father properly. The dead are already dead, so don't be too sad."
The little girl's eyes widened. She wanted to say something, but Lee Wanning had already walked inside.
She could only kneel on the ground and kowtow towards her a few times.
As Lee Wanning walked to the door, she heard a sour voice from the side, "But he's really a benevolent person. How many years has it been since we've seen such a living Bodhisattva in this Capital City?"
Lee Wanning turned her head and saw it was Wang Yanran. She ignored her and was about to leave when one of the girls beside Wang Yanran stood up and said, "You woman, you dare to ignore the words of our Miss!"
Lee Wanning didn't seem to care. Just as she was about to continue walking, the girl had already reached out her hand and pulled her back.
Lee Wanning immediately protected Zhou Bao, who was in her arms. She raised her head and saw a cold look in his eyes.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to bully us orphans and widows in broad daylight? "
The servant girl didn't expect Lee Wanning to say that. After pausing for a moment, she pointed at Lee Wanning's nose and said, "You woman!" It was because you pretended not to hear what our young miss had to say, so I pulled you a little! "
"How do you know your young lady is talking to me? She didn't call my name or look at me. Why should I be in the right seat? "
The maidservant was dumbstruck, but Wang Yanran couldn't sit still any longer. She slammed the teacup in her hand onto the table and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
"I am not interested in who you are, I only know that you are at the feet of the Son of Heaven! You and I are both citizens of Yingjia, how can we be divided into three, six, and nine grades? "
"You!" Wang Yanran immediately stood up from her seat and looked at Lee Wanning before sneering, "What a joke, someone as unruly as you dares to say that you have the same status as me? Today, I will teach you a lesson! "
Just as Wang Yanran was about to take out her short sword, she heard a voice from the side. "Miss Wang, hold on!"
Lee Wanning hadn't thought that this woman would actually make a move on her. What made her even more disappointed was that no one here spoke. After hearing this voice, she turned her head.
He was wearing a moon-white robe and had a snow-white jade hairpin on his head. He held a folding fan in his hand and had a wide grin on his face.
When Lee Wanning saw this person, she couldn't help but pause for a second. It was just because this person was the person she was thinking about looking for, Ann Wen.
Ann Wen didn't recognize Lee Wanning at all. He only looked at her and said, "You really are the same. You can quarrel with her if I ask you to come out and have a cup of tea."
When Wang Yanran saw Ann Wen, she obviously changed her attitude. She looked just like a little girl. She glared at Lee Wanning before saying to Ann Wen, "It's just a small matter. Forget it."
She originally wanted to go up and ask Ann Wen where Zhou Qu was, but seeing the dead woman next to him, she decided not to ask anymore. After all, from the attitude of the waiter towards Ann Wen, it should be much simpler as long as she asked about it herself.
Thinking of this, Lee Wanning didn't want to stay any longer in this hall. She turned around and left.
After feeding Zhou Bao some millet porridge, Lee Wanning took out the jade pendant.
It was also a pure white, which was probably the same style as the one on top of Ann Wen's head. From the way the waiter flattered Miss Wang and the way Miss Wang treated Ann Wen, Ann Wen's identity was definitely not simple.
Lee Wanning didn't want to get into trouble. She only needed to find Zhou Qu and ask him clearly. But other than Ann Wen, Lee Wanning couldn't think of anyone else.
When she thought of this, Lee Wanning suddenly thought of something. She took out a folding fan from her bag.
This was what she had won from Quan Fei the last time. Quan Fei said it was Third Prince's personal handwriting today, but it was hard to tell if it was real or fake.
Just as Lee Wanning was thinking this, she heard a voice from outside. "Miss, are you there?"
Lee Wanning quickly packed up her things and opened the door a crack. She saw the waiter standing at the door with a smile. "Miss, someone is looking for you."
Looking for her?
Lee Wanning frowned and returned to carry Zhou Bao out. When she went to the door according to the waiter's instructions, she found that there was no one there.
She frowned deeply as she returned to her room, only to find that the bundle on the table had disappeared.
She was stunned for a moment, then rushed downstairs without a second thought.
She walked up to the waiter and stretched out her hand, "Give me back my luggage."
The waiter was obviously stunned for a moment before confidently saying, "What are you saying!"
"Don't think that I don't know. Someone is looking for me downstairs to move me away, and then they can go into my room to steal my things. Is this how your inn treats its guests!?"
Lee Wanning's voice was very loud, and very quickly, someone looked over. The waiter's face immediately turned red as he said, "Don't speak nonsense!" Which eye of yours saw me take your things! "
When he had given the money to the girl, he had considered the possibility of provoking her red eyes. However, he hadn't thought that this waiter would be so daring!
Hearing the voice, the shopkeeper quickly came over and said, "Miss, do you have any proof for saying this?"
Lee Wanning said, "No, you just need to take a look at this little brother's room or the storage shelf to know. I don't want to wrongly accuse you, but I've come all the way here and that's all I have. If you take it, do you want us two to go drink together?"
The waiter sneered, "If you don't have the money to stay here, then speak honestly. What's the point of slandering people like this? I definitely did not take your things! "
Actually, money was still a small matter. After all, Lee Wanning didn't put all her money on it, but there was a jade pendant that she needed to meet with Ann Wen. If she lost it, how would she find him?!
Thinking up to here, Lee Wanning calmed down and said, "Since that's the case, let's report it to the government. Anyway, I lost it in your shop!"
