A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Yuan Hui sighed and sat down. Only then did Ning Yue begin to scoop rice for them. “I saw mutton in the kitchen. It happened to be cold, so I used it to make mutton hotpot.”

While eating, Ning Yue suddenly asked, “Eldest Cousin and Second Brother, has anyone been looking for you recently? Have you been staying in the capital?”

When the two of them heard this, they looked at Ning Yue in confusion. “Ever since we returned from Laifu Village, we’ve been staying in the capital. There are people looking for us almost every day. I wonder who Cousin is talking about.”

!!

Liu Xuan’s words made Ning Yue’s heart sink. In other words, the shopkeeper was lying.

Why was he lying? What was his motive?

Seeing Ning Yue frown and look deep in thought, Yuan Hui couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Ning Yue sighed and told the three of them what had happened. “I wonder what that boss is thinking and why he’s lying.”

“I’ll get someone to check on him,” Yuan Hui said.

Ning Yue nodded. That was all she could do now. She only hoped that Yuan Hui could find out.

After dinner, Yuan Hui asked Ning Yue to go to the study and asked her seriously, “Jiang Ying is in prison. I should do something, right?”

When she returned, she only briefly told Yuan Hui what had happened in the past two days and did not mention the real reason why Jiang Ying was in prison.

She thought for a moment and told Yuan Hui everything.

“We’ll put on a show. I’ll enter the palace to threaten the Emperor of Great Yun. In any case, he’s already handed all the major matters to the Crown Prince. He has nothing to do,” Yuan Hui said.

Ning Yue almost laughed out loud. Could he threaten him just because he had nothing to do?

“Uncle, I’ll have to trouble you then. After settling the matters in the capital, I’m going back to Luzhou with my mother. Do you want to come with me?” Ning Yue asked.

Luzhou? Yuan Hui raised his eyebrows. “I won’t go. I still have to return to Russia to prepare dowry for you. By the way, help me bring something to the Liu family.”

As Yuan Hui spoke, he stood up and walked to the side. He opened a large wooden box with an exquisite small box inside. He handed the box to Ning Yue.

“This is a token of my appreciation to them. I told them to accept it,” Yuan Hui said.

Ning Yue took the small box. It was very light, and she didn’t know what was inside. She was curious, but she didn’t open the box on the spot.

“Uncle, has the world not been peaceful recently?” Ning Yue suddenly asked.

Yuan Hui smiled. “There will always be disputes where there are people. It will never be peaceful. However, if you’re referring to the people of the Black City Kingdom arriving in the Great Yun Nation, I know a little about the inside story.”

He had specially gone to investigate because the Black City Kingdom had been especially quiet recently. The Wargod did not lead troops into battle, which made him feel very strange.

It had to be known that the Wargod was good at fighting. He would not stop the war for no reason. The only possibility was that something had happened to him or something else.

Therefore, Yuan Hui got someone to investigate. He did not expect to find out what had happened.

The Wargod had a dream. In the dream, a fairy-like girl appeared. He had actually fallen in love with this girl.

The fairy girl in her dream said that she was in the most beautiful place in the Great Yun Nation. In order to find her, Lian Xin had come to the Great Yun Nation.

“So, Lian Xin means that Laifu Town is the most beautiful place in the Great Yun Nation?” Ning Yue asked.

Yuan Hui shrugged. “From the looks of it, the goddess in his dream might be you.”

“What a joke!” Ning Yue was speechless.

“I’m not joking. He went to Laifu Town and even cooperated with you. You have to know that there are many people who want to cooperate with him. Why does he only cooperate with you?”

Ning Yue did not say anything. Lian Xin’s actions were indeed difficult to understand.

“That’s why I dare to guess that you’re the fairy girl in his dream,” Yuan Hui said.

“Perhaps this fairy maiden is just an excuse. He came to the Great Yun Nation to cause trouble,” Ning Yue said.

“No, it’s true. Apparently, he dreamed of this girl years ago. The girl said she hasn’t come to this world yet and told him to wait.”
