Hearing this, Yu Niaoniao wanted to retort.

However, before she could say anything, she was pushed into the room by

Juan.

Then the door clanged shut.

Yu Niaoniao was locked in the room.

She was puzzled as she waited with wide eyes for the closed door.

Why did he lock her in?

Outside the door, Xiao Juan said coldly, “Let’s talk in private.”

Wei Liao was still sneering.

“What can’t be said here?”

Xiao Juan did not force her and said bluntly, “You didn’t come here just for those supplements, right?”

The sneer on Wei Liao’s face gradually faded.

He glanced at the closed door beside him and walked down the steps.

Xiao Juan followed.

They walked out into the courtyard.

At this moment, Wei Liao no longer looked as exasperated as before.

He returned to his usual lazy appearance.

“What exactly are you trying to say?”

Xiao Juan said unhurriedly.

“You actually know very well that what Niaoniao said just now was the truth. She had made up the story about the medicinal primer.”

“But you insisted on pretending not to believe it and arguing with her. Didn’t you just want to take this opportunity to spend more time with her?”

Wei Liao chuckled. “Don’t you think you’re thinking too much?”

Xiao Juan did not insist on getting to the bottom of it and said calmly, “I hope I’m thinking too much.”

This place was a distance from the door, and they deliberately lowered their voices. Even if Yu Niaoniao in the room pricked up her ears to eavesdrop, she could not hear what they were saying.

Xiao Juan turned around and walked up the steps, pulling open the door.

Yu Niaoniao stuck her head out.

She saw Wei Liao standing alone in the courtyard.

Wei Liao happened to be looking at her.

That gaze was too complicated, making Yu Niaoniao feel like he wanted to say something.

Before she could think carefully, the door was closed again.

This time, Wei Liao was the only one locked outside.

He stared silently at the closed door. Warm yellow light leaked through the gap.

Unfortunately, that light would never reach him.

In the room, Yu Niaoniao pulled Xiao Juan’s sleeve and explained anxiously.

“You have to believe me. I made up the story about the medicinal primer and terminal illness!”

Xiao Juan said, “I believe you.”

Yu Niaoniao heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiao Juan was not as imaginative as Wei Liao. He was still very reliable.

Just as she exhaled, she heard Xiao Juan ask, “Were you making up that bit about asking Wei Liao to step on me?” Yu Niaoniao held her breath.

She had almost forgotten about this.

She smiled awkwardly. “I was deliberately scaring Wei Liao. You’re so powerful. How could Wei Liao step on you? His legs would be broken!”

With that, she pulled Xiao Juan to the table and sat down. She poured tea for him with her uninjured hand and looked for a topic to distract him.

“Where did you go during the day? Why didn’t you bring me?”

Xiao Juan took the teapot from her. “Didn’t I just say that? I went to see the City

Protection Lieutenant and the County Governor of Liangzhou.”

“How did it go? Did they say anything?”

Xiao Juan poured two cups of tea and pushed one of them in front of Yu Niaoniao.

“They didn’t say anything.”

Yu Niaoniao sighed. “Then wouldn’t you have made a wasted trip?”

Xiao Juan said, “Not really. Although the Liangzhou County Governor didn’t say anything, I keep feeling that he knows something. He just has some misgivings and isn’t willing, to tell the truth.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Why don’t I accompany you to the County Governor’s Mansion tomorrow?”

Xiao Juan shook his head slowly.

“It’s useless. Until we figure out what he’s afraid of, we won’t be able to get him to talk.”

He saw Niaoniao frown, looking very troubled.

He did not want her to waste her time on these things, so he took the initiative to change the topic.

“Let’s not talk about this. Did you rest well at home today? Does your wrist still hurt?”

At the mention of this, Yu Niaoniao immediately perked up.

“I was about to tell you. I saw a child in the princess’s residence today. His name is Wang Jun. He’s locked up in a remote small courtyard in the residence.

I keep feeling that this child’s identity is not simple and want you to send someone to investigate.”

As she spoke, she took out two drawings.

The first was a portrait of the child.

The second drawing was the Qilin auspicious beast jade pendant.

Yu Niaoniao also wrote down the address carved on the back of the jade pendant.

“He probably lives here. Apparently, his family is rich. It shouldn’t be difficult to find.’

When Xiao Juan saw the portrait and the Qilin auspicious beast jade pendant, he did not react much. However, when he saw the address, his expression immediately changed.

“Isn’t this the address of the County Governor’s Mansion?”

Yu Niaoniao was very surprised. “County Governor’s Mansion? Could it be that Wang Jun is the young master of the County Governor’s Mansion? But if the young master of the County Governor’s Mansion is lost, the County Governor will definitely send someone to look for him.”

Xiao Juan looked at the child’s portrait on the drawing paper and said in a low voice, “Or it could be because he’s afraid to look.’

Yu Niaoniao recalled what Xiao Juan had just said and immediately reacted.

“Could it be that the county governor of Liangzhou is worried about Wang Jun?!”

Xiao Juan put away the drawing paper. “Looks like I have to visit the County

Governor’s Mansion tonight.”

When it was late at night, everyone in the princess’s residence was asleep. Xiao

Juan, who was dressed in black, quietly left the princess’s residence.

He used his qinggong and silently moved through the night.

When he arrived at the County Governor’s Mansion, it was silent. Other than the person in charge of the night shift, everyone else was asleep.

County Governor Wang Jianan was no exception.

Because he was old, he slept lightly at night and was easily woken up.

At this moment, he was in a daze when he suddenly felt someone beside him. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a tall figure standing by the bed. Wang Jianan was about to shout when the other party stopped him.

“Don’t scream. It’s me.”

Wang Jianan recognized the voice. It was Duke Lang, whom he had met during the day!

He sat up hurriedly and fumbled to light the oil lamp by the bed.

“Your Highness, why are you visiting so late at night?”

Xiao Juan did not waste his breath on him. He took out the two pieces of drawing paper and placed them in front of him.

“Take a look for yourself.”

Wang Jianan did not understand. He picked up the pieces of drawing paper with both hands and looked at them under the dim candlelight.

When he saw the young boy in the painting, his eyes widened. His hands trembled. Even his voice trembled.

“Isn’t, isn’t this my Ah Jun?!”

He hurriedly looked at Xiao Juan and asked anxiously, “Have you seen Jun? Where is he? Is he still alive?”

Xiao Juan replied calmly, “He’s in the princess’s residence. He’s still alive.”

Wang Jianan looked like he was crying and laughing. “Alright, alright! As long as he’s alive!”

Xiao Juan asked, “Who is Wang Jun to you?”

Wang Jianan gently stroked the young man’s face in the painting. His gray eyes were filled with love and longing.

“Ah Jun is my grandson. Ever since my son and daughter-in-law passed away, Ah Jun is the only family I had left in the world.”

“Poor child. He was born deficient and a little silly. Even though I took care of him carefully, he was still abducted by bad people. I haven’t seen him since..”
