Chapter 177 People do not offend me, I do not offend others
The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches.
Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the genius is about to shine, the world becomes lively.
The smell of sulfur and salt from firecrackers still seems to linger in the air. Every household goes out to visit relatives and friends. The huge Shuzhou city is full of joy.
"Wow~"
In the courtyard, Yuan'er, who had gotten up early, was pouring water on the ground, while Wei Changtian, who had not slept all night, slowly stood up and moved around.
The amount of information brought by the system update was too large, and he thought about it for a whole night before finally clarifying his "direction" in the future——
If others do not offend me, I will not offend others.
As long as these thirteen sons of heaven don't take the initiative to cause trouble for themselves, then I will not cause trouble for these people.
You achieve your destiny, I live my little life, and it is best for everyone to live in peace.
As for the system... just pretend that there is no such thing. Anyway, my current gold finger is enough, and the remaining two thousand points are enough to deal with some emergencies.
There is really no need to put yourself in danger just to earn system points.
Xiao Feng has a life-and-death feud with him, and there is nothing he can do about it.
But everyone else can’t have a grudge against him, right?
Especially the first eleven "protagonists" who are far away from Daning, I have never even heard of them.
Of course, if they really come all the way to provoke me...
"Miss Xu, you're awake!"
Yuan'er's voice drifted in through the window.
After keeping vigil yesterday, Xu Qingwan did not go back, but stayed here for the night.
"Well, I'll leave first. Please tell the young master when he wakes up."
"Miss Xu, won't you stay for breakfast?"
"No, I'm on an errand today and have to go early..."
"Squeak~"
The door suddenly opened, and Wei Changtian stood at the door and stretched.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Xuanjing Division."
...
On New Year's Day, there were many pedestrians and carriages on the street, but none of the shops on the roadside were open.
As a law enforcement agency, the Xuanjing Division definitely needs someone on duty during the holidays.
Based on the relationship between Xu Qingwan and Wei Changtian, she should not be involved in such drudgery, but Comrade Xiao Xu took the initiative to ask for duty.
He probably felt that he was alone in Shuzhou and had nothing to do even on vacation, so he might as well leave this opportunity to other colleagues who could reunite with their families.
"Is this your first time away from home for the New Year?"
As the carriage drove along the bustling streets, Wei Changtian yawned and asked casually: "Do you miss home?"
"A little."
Xu Qingwan nodded honestly and whispered: "I wrote a letter to my parents a few days ago."
"write a letter?"
Wei Changtian suddenly became interested: "Did you mention our marriage?"
Xu Qingwan pinched the corner of her clothes in embarrassment: "Yes, dad said it's best to wait until you return to the capital before we can get married..."
"Waiting for me to return to the capital?"
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "There are still more than two years."
"it does not matter......"
Xu Qingwan buried her head lower and lower: "Mo, don't say two years, I am willing to wait even twenty years..."
"You are willing to wait, but I am not willing to wait." Wei Changtian muttered softly.
"ah?"
Xu Qingwan raised her head blankly: "Why?"
"Well, there's no reason. I just want to marry you as soon as possible."
"Yes, but I can't make the decision alone on this matter."
Xu Qingwan blushed: "No, but I can..."
"Um???"
Wei Changtian was instantly shocked: "What can it be?!"
"You can write another letter to discuss with dad."
"..."
"What’s wrong with you?"
"fine......"
Wei Changtian shook his head: "I'm so excited."
...
Half an hour later, after sending Xu Qingwan to the Xuanjing Department, Wei Changtian did not go back directly. Instead, he turned a corner and went straight to Yongfengfang in the west of the city.
The carriage circled around and stopped in an alley. After Wei Changtian got off the car, he turned left and right for almost a quarter of an hour before finally standing at the door of an ordinary small house.
He didn't knock on the door, looked around, then climbed over the wall and entered the yard.
The courtyard is not big, but it is very neat. There is a piece of orchid planted in the small garden, and many flower buds have sprouted among the leaves.
A woman in a hemp skirt was bending down and standing by the well to draw water, not noticing Wei Changtian who came in quietly.
"Take the time to pull out all the flowers and replant some vegetables or something."
Wei Changtian suddenly spoke up and said to himself in the woman's frightened eyes: "You are no longer a princess. Ordinary people do not have the leisure and elegance to plant flowers."
"Mr. Gongzi, why do you..."
Ning Yuke opened her mouth in confusion, obviously not expecting Wei Changtian to suddenly appear here.
"I was passing by and stopped by to take a look."
Wei Changtian stepped forward and poured the water from the bucket into the water tank. He put down the bucket and walked into the main room.
"Come in and talk."
"..."
...
Like the courtyard, the furnishings in the main room are also simple, but everything is available. The fire is burning brightly on the wall, and the room is warm.
This is the first time the two have met since Ning Yuke moved out. After more than a month, the Princess Rou'an seems to have learned how to take care of herself.
From having people take care of everything for food, clothing, housing and transportation to now having to do everything by myself, this speed of adaptation is pretty good.
"sit down."
Taking a sip of hot tea, Wei Changtian smiled and looked at Ning Yuke standing in front of him: "What? I'm not welcome?"
"The slave family doesn't dare."
Ning Yuke hurriedly shook her head and sat down nervously on the chair: "I was just a little surprised. I wonder if I did something wrong."
So humble?
Wei Changtian sighed secretly and said calmly: "Don't think too much about it. I heard from Chu Xianping about the boat meeting. You did a good job."
"The main reason why I came today is that I have something to discuss with you."
"Master, please give me your instructions."
Ning Yuke immediately expressed his position: "The slave family's life is given by the young master, and I will do anything for the young master voluntarily."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Wei Changtian waved his hand: "Actually, you didn't do this for me, but for yourself."
"for me......"
Ning Yuke was stunned for a moment, and then heard Wei Changtian say softly:
"Princess, the prince's assassination is now over."
"Most of the people sent by the imperial court, both covertly and covertly, have been evacuated from Shuzhou, and the remains of the prince and the two princesses have also been returned to the capital for burial."
"Then it's time for the princess to plan her future."
"My future..."
Ning Yuke murmured, with a trace of struggle on his face: "Slave, I don't know what the young master means..."
"It's very simple."
Wei Changtian glanced at Ning Yuke.
"Princess, there are only two paths you can choose right now."
"Either you stay anonymous from now on, live the rest of your life peacefully, and just pretend that the past has never happened."
