The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 52 Zhongyuan saves money

Pei Hao had already guessed, but he was still surprised.

Immediately, he asked suspiciously: "Didn't you forget the past? How did you know that someone behind the scenes wanted to kill you?"

 “Hey! My brother said it.”

Du Wan did not elaborate and threw the pot towards Du Qian.

 The two of them were quiet for a while.

When Du Wan saw Pei Hao, he was hesitant again. He didn't know what he wanted to say but didn't say anything. "What else do you want to say? Just say it. My elder brother is still looking over here, but he is getting angry soon." ?"

Pei Hao glanced under the eaves.

 As expected, I saw the cold-faced future brother-in-law...

 He coughed dryly, "Well... isn't today the Hungry Ghost Festival?"

“Yes, everyone in the entire Qin Kingdom knows this.” Du Wan looked at him like a fool.

Pei Hao's cheeks were slightly warm. He looked at the rockery outside the pavilion suspiciously and asked, "Are you going to light the river lanterns?"

"The whole capital will soon know that I will go today." Du Wan's words were a little exaggerated, but not too much. Some people had already announced that she would go out today.

Pei Hao's peach blossom eyes flashed, "I happen to be free today."

 “Oh, oh.” When you have time, you have time. Is it necessary to say it specifically?

 “Are you and Brother Du going out?” Pei Hao pointed out again.

Du Wan nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, if you didn't come we would have gone out by now."

 “What about together?” Pei Hao asked.

 “No! I refuse!”

Du Wan refused without thinking.

Pei Hao's peach blossom eyes suddenly became sharp, looking so ruthless that you dare to refuse?

Du Wan was startled, and took two steps back before saying, "Why are you looking at me like this? I decided the last time I went shopping with you at the night market, I never want to go shopping with you again!"

“I’m going to light the river lanterns instead of going shopping.” Pei Hao’s face didn’t look good.

Du Wan curled her lips and said, "I just don't want to go with you."

 Wouldn’t it be nice to go with your eldest brother?

　　It would be so hard for her to go with the villain Pei.

Du Wan was not happy. Pei Hao stared at her coldly and asked, "Besides my prince, who do you want to go with?"

"My eldest brother!" Du Wan shivered a little, but she still argued with reason, "It's enough if my eldest brother goes with me, I don't need you."

Pei Hao glanced at Du Qian, and his cold expression finally improved.

Before he could say anything else, Du Qian had already walked over.

 The two people seemed to be quarreling, so that’s okay!

Du Qian walked over quickly and shouted: "Okay, it's almost time. It's time for Wanwan to go out."

"Yes, yes, I have to go to the appointment first." Du Wan lifted up her skirt and ran towards Du Qian. The villain's eyes suddenly looked a little scary.

Du Qian said politely: "Prince Pei, are you coming with us?"

"okay."

 The brother and sister walked side by side toward the gate of the mansion.

Pei Hao strolled behind the two of them.

Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere was too quiet, Du Qian turned around and asked, "Prince Pei, won't the Pei family worship their ancestors today?"

Pei Hao replied calmly: "My son is in poor health, so he didn't go this year. Didn't Brother Du also go this year?"

Before Du Qian could speak, Du Wandese's little voice came first, "Who said my brother didn't go? He came back early and specially stayed with me. Big brother is so kind to me!"

 “…” Pei Hao fell silent.

 What's so good about this? Women are just weird.

 Out of the gate.

 The carriage and guards at the princess's residence have been prepared.

The carriage and entourage of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion were also waiting not far away.

Pei Hao felt inexplicably heartbroken when he saw Du Wan getting on the carriage happily. Perhaps, today, we should not listen to Mu Si'an's nonsense and come to the princess mansion rashly. Until he watched Du Wan's carriage leave. Pei Hao then got on his carriage and returned to the Duke's Mansion first. When Mu Si'an saw it, he was surprised and asked: "Your Majesty, haven't you seen the princess?"

“Yes.” Pei Hao glanced at him coldly.

“Didn’t make an appointment with the princess? Today is the Ghost Festival.”

"Did I say to make an appointment with her? I went to the princess's house this time simply because I wanted to tell her something." Pei Hao forced his respect, with a cold attitude.

　　Musianfei explained: “The little girl is going to be alone again.”

"I have a brother, so I won't be alone." The anger in Pei Hao's heart became inexplicably stronger.

Mu Si'an could hear the sourness in the prince's words.

 Suddenly, I had some enlightenment!

He didn't dare to ask anymore and quickly found an excuse to escape.

However, before Mu Si'an could walk out of the threshold, he was called back by Pei Hao.

The prince said that he wanted to go to Wangyue Tower to watch the sunset.

Mu Si'an was silent for a while after hearing this.

 …

The location of the banquet in the post is Wangyue Tower by the river on the outskirts of the city, a famous wealthy township in the capital.

Wangyue Tower is not only a three-story restaurant, but also a large garden.

 The entire garden is built around the Moon Watching Tower, just like the stars holding the moon.

 Around the garden, pleasant tourist spots have been developed, similar to modern scenic spots.

 If you want to walk through it all, it will take at least two days.

Of course the favorite place for rich people is Wangyue Tower. Besides, in addition to the main building, there are also some small attics of various styles in the garden.

 The business is booming in small lofts near the river. We usually book a loft and invite three or five friends to sit upstairs and enjoy the river view while cooking wine and poetry.

 So, Wangyue Tower is a leisure place for wealthy people in the capital.

Ordinary people will not come here because of consumption issues. A cup of tea here costs two taels of silver.

Du Yunrong rented a loft here, which was a big deal.

It is said that a one-day fee costs one thousand taels of silver.

Du Wan and his party arrived at Wangyue Tower.

　　Du Yunrong’s name was announced, and a dedicated boy came to lead the way.

 At this time, it was specified in the banquet that only female guests who had not left the cabinet would be entertained. Therefore, Du Wan could only go alone.

Du Qian was not very appropriate for a grown man in the past.

Du Qian warned in a gentle voice: "Sister, please pay attention to your safety, you know? If you encounter trouble and you can't solve it, remember to come to the eldest brother. The eldest brother won't go anywhere, just drink here in the main building."

"Okay! Brother, please drink less. Drinking too much can easily cause trouble."

 “Okay, listen to my sister.”

Hearing his sister's concern, Du Qian nodded happily.

 When he saw his eldest young master acting like this, his personal entourage was not surprised.

Today, many high-status people came to Wangyue Tower, so naturally there will be no shortage of people around to protect them. Du Qian was not worried that something would happen to his sister here, but he was not sure whether those women would make things difficult for her during the banquet.

 The tricks women play cannot be put on the table, but there are also some tricks that people can't guard against.

So, Du Qian whispered a few words to his sister.

Du Wan has always been well-behaved.

 The two brothers and sister talked together, very intimately.

This made some onlookers, especially those who recognized them, feel a little surprised and a little aware.

 On the second floor, there were several students sitting around a large round table.
