Pet Addiction: The Prince’s Desire to Spoil His Pet - Chapter 167 - Deceiving Uncle Sheng (66)

Chapter 167: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (66)

Shu Nuan bought some daily necessities, before recalling that Wen Zhigu hadn’t eaten yet. She stood outside a tavern and, at the door, shook the snowflakes off her body. She let out a deep breath, and the condensed air turned white from where her small mouth opened.

After she went in, she ordered several dishes to be packed at the counter, planning to eat them with Wen Zhigu. She didn’t want both of them to be tired from running around on their first day in Yu Shuicheng. She walked outside to wait for her order.

Shu Nuan sat down facing the tavern and munched on something she’d just bought. She noted how the architectural style of Yu Shuicheng completely differed from the capital. The Bei Capital advocated luxury, while Yu Shuicheng’s style was classical and straightforward.

As she walked into the tavern, she was thinking of noting it down when she went back, when a random piece of the conversation two men were having at a table entered her ears.

“Well, I’m afraid that even Prince Sheng Qianmo will fall.”

“Who would have thought that some officials of Southern Xinjiang would cooperate with the generals of the Nanjiang Kingdom. I heard that the situation is unknown now, with no news from the prince… Don’t even know if they know about this over there in the capital…”

Shu Nuan was stunned for a moment. She turned her head, looked at the people at the table behind her, and opened her mouth.

“What happened to the prince?”

These two had not expected a little girl to be so concerned about the war, and one of them told her, “The news from the front line yesterday was that the prince had followed the traitors of the Nanchao Kingdom. Now the Sheng Army is missing, and without knowing if they fell into the hands of the kingdom, the capital will never send support. The Southern Xinjiang may not be able to keep it. “

The other person saw that she was alone and noticed that her skin was tender, unlike the women of Yu Shuicheng. He said, “Yu Shuicheng is not far from Southern Xinjiang. If the enemies can’t be held back there, this place could be one of the first to suffer. Girl, you’d better get out of here.”

Shu Nuan’s heart was in a mess, but she still nodded and thanked the older brothers. She quickly took the packed meal and went away.

After returning to their residence, she found Wen Zhigu awake, sitting on the couch beside the window sill and gazing at the snow outside. When she saw Nuan coming back, she called out to her.

Upon entering the room, Shu Nuan put down the still-hot food and opened the containers for Wen Zhigu, saying, “You go ahead. I have to write down something first.”

After speaking, Shu Nuan turned around without waiting for her to answer, then walked to her room and took the pen and paper. While writing, her fingers trembled a little, but her eyes were still firm and calm, and she wrote the things she’d learned in the letter.

She didn’t know if any report had come from the side of Southern Xinjiang. Maybe someone had already reported back. But she was still not at ease that the messenger would truthfully take back the letter, and so she wanted to write a letter to the Shenghe Manor personally. As long as Li Yuan saw the message and told Ningcheng Yuan in the military camp, the current happenings would be explained clearly.

As she was finishing up the letter, she hadn’t realized that Wen Zhigu was standing behind her. Wen Zhigu had naturally read the letter’s contents and she couldn’t believe it.

“Is something wrong in Southern Xinjiang…”

Shu Nuan jerked back her head and saw Wen Zhigu. She nodded her head and held the finished letter in her hands, which trembled, but she wasn’t sure if that was because of the weather.

“Don’t worry, have someone take the letter back to the capital quickly.”

Shu Nuan nodded, put the letter in an envelope, and handed the errand to a guard who had followed them.

Having done this, Shu Nuan still couldn’t calm down her emotions.
