After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 282 What's the hurry?

"Haha!" An Ning couldn't help laughing out loud, "So you're the same as me!"

Qi Wuyou scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "Hey, I'm just curious, let's go and take a look together!"

An Ning and Qi Wuyou smiled at each other and understood each other.

They quietly walked to the main hall door and looked inside.

They saw a figure with his back to them. He was tall and straight, with outstanding temperament. Judging from the back, he should be a young man.

He was wearing a black brocade robe, a golden belt around his waist, and a jade crown on his head. He looked particularly energetic.

Zhou Heng sat on the chair with a smile on his face, talking calmly to the person in front of him.

An Ning and Qi Wuyou looked at each other, both feeling confused.

Although they are a family when outside, why shouldn't Lu Yuqi, the head of the family, come out when guests come?

The two hid in a corner and secretly observed the situation in the main hall.

However, due to the distance, they could not hear the conversation between Zhou Heng and the man, nor could they see the man's face clearly.

Qi Wuyou was a little anxious and wanted to get closer to listen, but was stopped by An Ning.

"Don't be impulsive. Be careful not to get discovered. Let's wait and see first." An Ning said in a low voice.

Qi Wuyou had no choice but to nod and wait patiently.

Time passed minute by minute, and Zhou Heng and the young man finally ended their conversation.

The young man stood up, saluted Zhou Heng, then turned and left the main hall.

An Ning and Qi Wuyou quickly hid aside and watched the young man walk out of the yard.

Only after watching the young man gradually walk away did An Ning and Qi Wuyou walk out from the corner.

The two of them walked quickly into the house, only to see Zhou Heng still sitting steadily in the main seat, sipping tea leisurely.

Qi Wuyou couldn't wait to get close to Zhou Heng and asked anxiously, "Second Uncle, who was that person just now?"

Zhou Heng put down the teacup in his hand slowly and replied calmly: "The General Zhennan stationed at Yongguan..."

Before he finished speaking, An Ning suddenly interrupted and asked, "General? Is he a general at such a young age?"

Zhou Heng rolled his eyes at her immediately, stood up, stretched out his hand and gently tapped An Ning's forehead.

However, as a military general, Zhou Heng's attack was naturally quite ruthless.

When this bullet hit An Ning, she felt dizzy and her head was buzzing. She almost fainted on the spot.

An Ning shook her head and looked at Zhou Heng with resentment, "Uncle, it hurts."

Zhou Heng sat back down, "Listen to me, he is the second son of General Shen who is stationed at Yongguan, Shen Yi."

"Oh," An Ning rubbed his head, "it turns out to be his son. I was wondering, General Zhennan is obviously an old bald man."

Qi Wuyou heard this and asked, "Old bald man?"

An Ning nodded, not knowing what she was thinking of, the expression on her face was indescribable.

She leaned close to Qi Wuyou's ear and whispered, "General Zhennan was a famous figure before. Didn't you know that he was a monk before?"

Qi Wuyou immediately became interested when he heard this, "What's going on?"

An Ning wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Zhou Heng's cough.

There was no other way, so An Ning had to say, "I'll go to your yard and talk to you in detail later."

Qi Wuyou nodded with some regret, but still couldn't help asking curiously: "What happened next? Why did it become like this?"

An Ning shrugged helplessly, "Wait until I tell you, then you'll know! Why are you in such a hurry~"

Zhou Heng coughed twice and continued, "Yongguan is the border between Xuan State and Wu State. General Shen has been stationed here for many years. It is only thirty miles away from Tongzhou, so General Shen's family lives in Tongzhou."

An Ning nodded, but still looked at Zhou Heng with some confusion, not knowing what he wanted to express.

She frowned and couldn't help asking, "Second Uncle, I still don't quite understand what these things have to do with us? What on earth did Mr. Shen come to our house for?"

Zhou Heng smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. He deliberately slowed down his speech, whetting An Ning's appetite before slowly saying, "He came to ask if you two are engaged."

"What?" An Ning couldn't help but yell, her face full of surprise and anger, "Lecher!"

Qi Wuyou on the side also showed an awkward smile. She patted An Ning's arm gently, trying to calm her down.

Then he looked at Zhou Heng cautiously, laughed dryly and asked, "So, Uncle, how did you answer?"

Zhou Heng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and said casually: "Of course it's based on facts."

An Ning's eyes suddenly widened and her expression turned very ugly.

She regretted it so much. If she could go back half an hour ago, she would definitely slap herself hard.

She secretly regretted why she stopped An An and didn't let her come over.

If she had known that the bastard was going to ask this kind of question, she would have made him come in vertically and leave horizontally.

On the surface, she and Qi Wuyou, as ladies of the Yu family, had no engagement.

Why did Shen Yi come to someone's house to ask this?

Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions. He has ulterior motives.

Compared to An Ning's cursing in her heart, Qi Wuyou actually thought a lot more.

She waved her hand and sent the servants away.

After everyone left, she asked worriedly, "General Zhou, since General Shen has been stationed here for many years, would he not be aware of Prince Yu's actions?"

Zhou Heng's eyes were stern, and he replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, Shen Chong is a man of integrity, loyalty and bravery. Your Majesty and I can trust him."

"His eldest son, Shen Jue, is a young general and also a loyal and righteous man."

"As for his youngest son, I have never seen him and do not know his character."

"And what the queen said is not without reason. From the current point of view, the Yu family is a generation of merchants, scholars, farmers, workers and artisans. No matter how rich they are, their status is the lowest."

"From what I have seen, he is after money."

Qi Wuyou nodded, agreeing with Zhou Heng's words.

As for what the money is used for, it is unknown.

Qi Wuyou seemed to remember something and asked, "What did Xuan Yelan and General Lu do?"

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and replied, "They both went to Yongguan before daybreak."

Qi Wuyou was shocked and asked, "Did they go to find General Shen?"

Zhou Heng nodded and explained, "Yes, after all, we don't know how much power Prince Yu's Mansion has. Even if we are targeting one under our noses, we still need manpower."

Hearing this, An Ning calmed down a little and asked in confusion: "Who in my courtyard is from Prince Yu's Mansion?"

Zhou Heng nodded and said affirmatively: "She should be Prince Yu's secret guard, and her purpose of sneaking into the mansion is you."

An Ning pursed her lips, her face expressionless, but her furrowed brows betrayed her inner worry.
