MTL - The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 23 The Crown Prince remembered to ask for food

Pei Hao couldn't help but look over.

The cute little girl looked confused, she probably didn’t know what was going on.

Du Wan stared blankly at the sun in the sky.

 The sun is shining in the sky.

 It’s almost noon.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Du Wan bent down, moved his bones again, and glanced left and right, "Oh, where are you?"

"On the way. Someone from the Pei family came to pick up Pei Hao just now." Du Qian informed his sister of the current situation in a few words.

Du Wan blinked, "Oh."

Pei Hao was inexplicably angry at her attitude.

 Shouldn’t you say something? Just one?

 Oh what? !

When Du Qian's eyes swept over him, Pei Hao's heart jumped.

 The attitude just now was wrong and very inappropriate.

 His relationship with her is not a good one. Isn't it normal for her to have this attitude?

Pei Hao spoke to Du Qian again, turned around and left.

 Just walked a few steps.

"Hello!"

Du Wan suddenly shouted, "Prince Pei, remember to ask for food!"

"Oh." Pei Hao waved his hand back without turning his head.

This wave of his hand means that he knows how to do it.

Du Wan stood up on her toes again and shouted, "One month! Remember the deadline is one month."

"knew."

Pei Hao looked back at her with a dark face.

What are you shouting about? On purpose.

 This dead girl! She didn't feel ashamed, but he still felt ashamed. If word spread that he had taken her 10,000 kilograms of grain, not to mention what the Du family and the eldest princess would think, I am afraid that I would be the first to deal with him!

Wait for Pei Hao to go far.

Du Qian asked strangely: "Sister, what kind of food are you going to ask for?"

“Hey, I’ll tell you in detail when I get home.” Du Wan’s sleepiness disappeared and her big eyes were rolling, “Even if I don’t tell you, you will know it as soon as you get to the capital.”

Du Qian chuckled, "Are you being naughty again?"

 “No, your sister is very good.”

 “Haha! My dear sister, get in the car quickly, we are about to set off.”

 “Okay, let’s go!” Du Wan waved happily.

Thinking of the 10,000 kilograms of grain, she felt very good.

I want to find out what happened to Xie Zhang when I got back.

 The rest of the journey was very peaceful.

 Wait until we arrived in front of the gate of the capital.

Du Wancai opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing the magnificent city wall about thirty meters high.

 Just from the city wall, you can see that the world she is in now is not ancient China. As far as China knows, the highest ancient city wall does not exceed twenty meters. There are unique traces of time left on the wall surface. Just from these traces, you can know that this is an ancient city with a long history.

 After entering the city.

 The bustling streets, with pedestrians and vendors coming and going.

 Compared to the previous Ningcheng, this place is more prosperous.

 But after entering the city, Du Wan felt uneasy.

  Why?

 Of course it’s because I’m going back to my original owner’s house.

No matter how you say she is not the real original owner, she will inevitably feel guilty.

 She was able to get along with Du Qian so quickly because he took good care of her and they were peers. They can be treated as friends even if they are not relatives. But this is to meet the elders of the original owner...

“Sister, we’re almost home.” Du Qian’s slightly joyful reminder came from outside the car window.

Du Wan was a little sluggish, "...what should I do if I go in?"

"What the elders say is whatever it is, just don't talk back." Du Qian wanted to laugh at her before he gave up until she got home, but when he saw her listless look, he felt distressed for no reason. He jumped off his horse and got into the carriage.

 There were some things I originally wanted to mention after she got home.

Don't mention it anymore, she seemed to be even more unsure, so she comforted: "Sister, no one thinks about it if something happens. If you want to blame it, you can only blame the person behind the scenes who plotted against you."

 “Huh?” Du Wan’s big eyes were full of confusion.

Du Qian reminded again: "My sister has no memory, so I don't know what happened. But your disappearance is not simple. Several guards sent to protect you were killed. The family tried their best to investigate for a long time, but nothing was found. You are in Chiyan County. Obviously someone has secretly covered your whereabouts."

Du Wan was surprised, "Who is so capable?"

"Yes, how could such a capable person go to such lengths to deal with a little girl like you? My father and I speculated that the person behind the scenes might be targeting my mother. She fell ill after you disappeared." Du Qian People were sent to repeatedly check what happened before my sister disappeared, but nothing suspicious was found.

The only suspicious thing is that my sister sold a barren mountain before she disappeared.

Du Qian asked strangely: "Wang Fugui is just a small businessman. Logically speaking, he shouldn't know his sister."

 “Who is Wang Fugui?” Du Wan was surprised.

Du Qian replied, "It's the person who bought Sister Shantou."

Du Wan was stunned again.

 This is wrong. Doesn’t the book say it was sold to Xie Zhang?

 Calm down, don’t panic! The amnesia character cannot be destroyed.

Du Qian told her one by one about the investigation at home, "It's just a barren mountain. Just sell it and scare you into running away from home? When did you become so timid?"

 “Oh, have I ever done such a stupid thing? It’s not like me.”

“…” Du Qian couldn’t help laughing.

 Chatted for a while longer.

Du Wan figured out something from it.

 Xie Zhang did not use his name to buy Shantou, and he did it very cleanly.

 What a calculation!

Du Wan thought about what the male protagonist in the book had done, and broke into a cold sweat.

 Before the big event was accomplished, Xie Zhang always stayed behind the scenes and made plans. In the early stage, he was so gentle and harmless that no one noticed his ambition. Later, someone noticed that his wings had grown...

Du Wan was so absorbed in thinking that she didn't notice Du Qian's peek.

 The little face changes back and forth, sometimes like this, sometimes like that.

 He had to admit, it was quite interesting.

 …

 The Princess's Mansion.

 The main hall in the front yard.

 The main hall is generally the place where distinguished guests are entertained in the house. It is empty most of the year, but today it was packed with people. The person sitting in the main seat at this time was a dignified little old man with gray hair.

 The next one is an old man again.

 Next, there is a row of old men sitting.

 Standing behind these old men are a dozen middle-aged people, both men and women.

 Everyone has a serious face.

Du Wan's heart skipped a beat as Du Qian walked in.

 What the hell, the battle is too big.

 No matter how panicked you are on the inside, you should still remain calm on the outside.

“Wan’er, my Wan’er is really back!”

　　A lady with a haggard face ran over with tears in her eyes and hugged Du Wan.

Du Wan stiffened suddenly.

 Suddenly being hugged by a stranger, the conditioned reaction is to push the person.

 But, is this the original owner’s mother? No, she is her mother now... At this time, Du Wan saw an elegant middle-aged man standing behind the woman. His face was somewhat similar to Du Qian's, looking at her with excitement.

This, should it be a cheap dad?

 After half a while.

Du Qian stood up at the right time and said, "Okay, mother, the patriarch and the others are still waiting for my sister."

 Next, Du Wan met with a group of elders from the Du family.
