The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 77 The little princess walks the dog

Du Qian didn't want his sister to go to a dirty place like a prison, but her sister insisted on going, so he had to ask someone to prepare a carriage and take her to the Yamen himself. However, as soon as they arrived at the Yamen, Du Qian went to inquire about it and heard bad news.

Du Qian told Du Wan that Miss Huang San was dead.

 “What?” Du Wan was stunned, “How did you die?”

Du Qian said: "This morning, a jailer found the master and the servant dead in the cell. Miss Huang San was strangled to death, and her maid hanged herself. She tore off her skirt and hung herself with a strip of cloth. Yes. According to the on-site investigation, Miss Huang San was killed by her maid."

"How can it be?"

Du Wan thought of the scene by the river that night.

The maid tried to approach her twice to intercede for her master, but was stopped by the guards and detained.

Who would have thought that after being imprisoned, his master would be killed in the blink of an eye?

Du Wan didn't even get out of the carriage, so Du Qian followed him into the carriage.

 The brother and sister turned around and returned home.

They started chatting and let Du Wan learn about what happened during the Hungry Ghost Festival, but it had already subsided before it spread.

This surprised Du Wan.

 Gossip lovers in the capital would talk about her gossip over and over again for days. This time she was pushed into the river. For such a big thing, no news came out. Especially when the Du family paid the fine, the person who did the bad things became Du Yunshan.

Du Yunrong skimmed it off cleanly.

 Strange, strange.

So Du Wan asked Du Qian directly for the reason.

Du Qian told her angrily, "This matter is a scandal. It involves more than one or two noble ladies. Except for the queen who took action to suppress it, several others took action."

 “Huh?” Du Wan curled her lips.

Du Qian rubbed her head, "What? Are you unhappy?"

　　“Why should I make such a trivial matter that everyone knows about it?”

"Haha." Du Qian laughed, "Maybe... they are not as eye-catching as our little sister?"

Du Wan sighed exaggeratedly, "Forget it. I have a lot of them, so I won't care about them."

 Paused for two seconds.

Du Wan's big eyes rolled around, "Brother, on the Ghost Festival, did you find anything unusual?"

Hearing this, Du Qian's smile froze.

 He lowered his head and looked at his sister seriously, "Wanwan, what did you notice?"

"…no."

Du Wan shook his head and denied, "Isn't there someone who wants to deal with me? Yesterday was a good opportunity to do something. There are many people protecting me, so didn't you find anything?"

  “…” Du Qian was silent.

 Du Wan's tone was the same as usual.

 But as he listened, he just felt distressed.

The enemy is in the dark, she is in the light.

Even though she is cheerful all day long, she is still under a lot of pressure...

Du Qian put his arm around his sister's shoulders and asked her to get closer to him, "Sister, there are some things that I don't want you to understand, but I'm afraid that you won't know anything and will be less defensive about others."

Du Wan straightened her face and said seriously: "Brother, please tell me, I understand."

"You don't have to be so serious." Du Qian suddenly lost his seriousness when he saw his sister's serious face, and said with a chuckle, "Actually, it's not a big deal. The higher a person stands, the more people will stare at him below. The Princess Mansion can be said to be the most attractive one besides the royal palace.”

"I know. We, brother and sister, are also the ones who attract the most attention."

Du Wan said with a smile.

Du Qian said helplessly: "Being noticed is not necessarily a good thing."

"But if no one pays attention, it must be bad." Du Wan rolled her eyes.

Du Qian was stunned.

 If you think about it carefully, it really makes sense.

 If no one pays attention to the Princess Mansion...

Du Wan patted the cheap brother on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, brother, your little sister will eat anything, as long as she doesn't suffer. Just wait and see. Anyone who dares to provoke me will not be able to escape unscathed."

After finishing speaking, Du Wan turned into a little fangirl with purpose, "Isn't the martial arts of big brother very powerful?" "It's not bad."

Du Qian puffed up his chest and spoke modestly.

Du Wan gave a thumbs up and praised without being too distracted, "My brother is awesome, uh, uh, can you teach me some self-defense skills?"

Du Qian heard his sister praise him.

Even if he didn’t take it seriously, he was happy to hear it.

It was only the last sentence that stunned him, "Sister, are you finally going to learn? I asked you to practice before, but you were always afraid of the hard work and were unwilling."

　　　…”No, not me!

 It’s the original owner!

  Anyway, I'm taking the blame again, alas.

Du Qian was very pleased to hear that his sister wanted to practice martial arts.

So, Du Qian said that it would be better to hit the sun than to choose another day, so when he returned home, he took Du Wan to the martial arts training hall.

Du Wan did not refuse and followed happily.

Outside the house, the killer followed the carriage back and forth.

 Looking at the brother and sister returning home, I was speechless for a while.

The fourteen-year-old girl went out, only sat in the carriage for a while, and then returned home without leaving the carriage. If you tell me this, no one will believe it.

 In a private house in the outer city.

 There was a young man eating pickles with white porridge.

 Subordinates sent the latest news that the assassination mission has not been completed.

“Haha, so the little princess just went out today, like a dog, and slipped our people around again.” The young man put down the bowl and chopsticks. This little princess is quite evil.

　　Three assassinations were carried out, but they all failed at the beginning.

The young man thought for a moment and then ordered: "Please stop acting rashly and continue to inquire about the target's whereabouts. As soon as the person leaves the house, notify me immediately."

 “Yes, Second Master.”

 The subordinate ordered him to leave.

 At the same time, Princess Mansion.

 Beside the martial arts training hall, there is also a weapons room.

Eighteen kinds of weapons, one by one, are neatly placed on the wooden shelves.

　Du Wan watched intently, "...I have learned a lot."

Du Qian asked: "Pick a weapon that you like."

“Ah, am I going to practice with weapons so soon?” Du Wan thought that Du Qian would let her do horse walking, kicking sandbags, and lay the foundation first.

 Du Qian knew what she was thinking at a glance, "Didn't you say you wanted to learn a few tricks? I'll teach you a few tricks first, so that you can taste the sweetness, so that you won't have to spend three days fishing and two days drying the net."

 Du Wan: “…”

 No, she works very hard.

The original owner is the one who didn’t work hard, and I won’t take the blame!

Du Wan walked around the weapons room and came out with a long sword in his hand.

 It’s a ring-headed sword! The sword was slender and light, more than a meter long, and both sides were sharpened. When it was unsheathed, the sword glowed with a cold light. It was a sword that had seen blood before.

Du Wan felt that she felt quite safe holding the sword in her hand.

Du Qian raised his eyebrows when he saw the ring-headed sword she chose, "Sister, aren't you afraid of hurting yourself during practice? Otherwise, change to a wooden sword first."

“If you can’t do it, just practice it for real.”

Even though Du Wan had no common sense, he also knew that practicing with a wooden sword and a real sword were different.

Du Qian told her to be careful, but without saying anything else, he directly taught her a sword move and asked her to practice it aside.

Du Wan studied very seriously.

Du Qian didn’t tell her to stop, so she practiced again and again.
