After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Chapter 142 Restraint

In the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, the sky was covered with white mourning and mournful music was played continuously. The funeral of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis was held in a grand and solemn manner.

Jin personally took care of everything, running around, being serious and responsible, and was generous and prudent in spending.

Every aspect was used to the best of its ability, with the utmost pomp and circumstance, without even a frown on his face.

After all, he had to do it for the current emperor to see, and for all the civil and military officials in the court to see how well the Yongchang Marquisate treated the eldest daughter-in-law.

It was just a funeral. She was willing to spend some money to exchange it for her son's title of marquis and her own lifelong honor.

The number of guests who came to pay their respects was unprecedented, almost twice the number of guests at the last wedding.

After all, during the wedding, Yan Chang Jingren had not yet woken up, so the ceremony was simple, but at this funeral, almost all the officials in the court came.

Including those who once stood on King Kang’s side.

Now that King Kang has fallen, he quickly takes this opportunity to come here and express his attitude.

Yan Mobai participated in the entire process from the funeral to the coffin.

When the coffin was being carried out, Prince Ning was next to Yan Mobai. Yan Mobai tripped over the threshold and almost fell.

Prince Ning was quick to support him and prevent him from losing his composure.

Prince Ning squeezed his arm and whispered, "Restrain yourself."

Yan Mobai nodded, his eyes slightly darker.

-

The funeral was over and the noise died down.

night, deep.

When Chi Feng arrived at the study, he saw Yan Mobai sitting under the lamp, wiping his sword.

His eyebrows were lowered, no emotion could be seen in his eyes, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his slender white hands were holding a handkerchief and slowly wiping the hilt of the sword.

Yes, wipe the hilt, not the blade or the blade.

The black tassel on the hilt dragged on the back of his hand as he moved.

Chi Feng felt sad.

This is probably because seeing the object reminds me of someone.

After a moment of silence, he walked in.

"grown ups."

Yan Mobai raised his eyes when he heard the voice.

In the light of the candle, Chi Feng saw that his eyes were a little red, but as he raised his eyes, they quickly disappeared and returned to normal.

"Lan Ying's cat was stuck with a bone, so he took it to the veterinary clinic." Chi Feng reported.

Yan Mobai said "hmm".

Chi Feng hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.

"Sir, is our guess wrong? Ning Pan actually has nothing to do with Nie Huan. Otherwise, why hasn't she come to see you after two days?"

Yan Mobai curved his lips, showing a bit of helplessness and bitterness.

"She couldn't possibly come looking for me. She must have known that I was the one luring her out."

Chifeng: “Ah?”

So why do this?

Yan Mobai lowered his eyes and continued what he was doing. He said calmly, "I just gave some information to Nie Huan to prompt her to react. I just wanted to find a breakthrough from her."

Finally, he added, "I didn't expect Ning Pan to believe it, because I knew she wouldn't."

Chifeng: “…”

What kind of people are fighting against each other?

"But we have been following Nie Huan for the past two days, but we have not found any breakthrough from her. We found that she did not go anywhere. She just went back and forth between Ding Yuxuan and her home, and did not see anyone."

"The letter should have been sent out." Yan Mobai said without raising his eyebrows.

Chi Feng was stunned.

"She has no chance. Whether she leaves Ding Yuxuan or her home, our people are following her."

Yan Mobai stopped what he was doing, put the handkerchief aside, inserted the sword into the scabbard with a "rustle", and placed it on the table.

He leaned slightly against the back of the chair.

"That's what was passed down at home, or in Dingyuxuan."

Chifeng again: "Ah?"

"Your Excellency means that Ning Pan is at Nie Huan's house, or at Ding Yuxuan?"

Yan Mobai looked at the candlelight on the table and narrowed his eyes.

"It's unlikely in the Nie family. First, the Nie family has been engaged in business for generations and has never been involved in politics. It can be seen that the head of the family knows how to protect himself and will not allow his daughter to be involved in such a matter."

"Secondly, Ning Pan will not live in the Nie family. Before she went to Haitang Palace, she would faint you because she didn't want to implicate you, me, or the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. She certainly wouldn't do it for her own selfish reasons and not care about implicating the entire Nie family."

Chi Feng nodded, thinking that what he said made sense.

"So, it's at Dingyuxuan?"

Yan Mobai shook his head: "It's unlikely. The reason is the same as not being in the Nie family. After all, Ding Yuxuan is also a Nie family business."

After saying that, he changed the subject and said, "However, it is possible that Nie Huan decided on her own and took Ning Pan in temporarily without telling her family. Ning Pan really has nowhere to go, so it should be okay for him to just stay there for a few days."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and ordered, "Bring me my nightgown."

Chi Feng: "...Sir, are you going to Ding Yu Xuan?"

"Well, I'll go check and see if she's there." Yan Mobai said as he began to take off his outer robe.

Chifeng: “…”

He didn't know what to say.

After a pause, he suggested, "Places like Dingyuxuan sell high-end jade wares. Once discovered, you will definitely be considered a thief. Why not send a secret guard? Even if you are discovered, the secret guard is unfamiliar. If you, a Dali Temple official, are considered a thief, then... it won't look good."

Yan Mobai glanced at him and said coldly, "Can't you hope for something good from me?"

Chi Feng: "...I meant just in case."

"There's no chance of that happening. Go get your nightgown!"

Chi Feng had no choice but to do as he was told.

He quickly went to the room to get his nightgown.

Seeing his master changing into clothes and covering his face with a piece of black cloth, leaving only his eyebrows and eyes exposed, Chi Feng couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so sure that Nie Huan has passed the message to Ning Pan?"

"Because I am very sure that Nie Huan is an old friend of Ning Pan. If so, Nie Huan will definitely tell Ning Pan the news of the past three years. Regardless of whether the news is true or false, regardless of whether Ning Pan believes it or not, Nie Huan will not remain indifferent." Yan Mobai replied in a firm voice.

Chi Feng thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he said nothing more.

In fact, he also knew that this man always had a plan in mind and would not make decisions without reason.

He just had to trust his judgement.

"I will go with you, my Lord."

"No need. It's easy to be exposed if there are too many people around. Then we'll really be thieves." Yan Mobai picked up his sword, and in a flash, he walked out of the room.

-

After Yan Mobai left, Chi Feng was worried and didn't dare to sleep.

Waiting in the courtyard of Fuxueyuan.

I don't know how long it took, but the person finally came back. He didn't come in through the gate, but flew in from the outer wall using light skills and landed quietly in the yard.

Chi Feng hurriedly went up to him: "Sir."

Yan Mobai did not stop and went straight back to the room.

Chi Feng followed closely behind.

"Not here?" Chi Feng asked.

Yan Mobai sat down at the table: "Not here."

Just as Chi Feng felt disappointed, he heard Yan Mobai say, "There is another possibility. That is, Nie Huan passed the message to Ning Pan through other people in Ding Yuxuan."

[Haha, surprise or not? Unexpected or not? I'll add another chapter. I wish you all a happy holiday.]
