Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage-Chapter 666 - : As Long as He Wants

Chapter 666: Chapter 666: As Long as He Wants

The lady boss’s face turned pale, and she stammered, “Miss, don’t be impulsive. I only saw that girl leave with an old woman, heading east. I really didn’t see anything else.”

Gucheng kicked a cabinet, shattering it, and the jewelry inside clattered to the ground.

The maids inside screamed and ran out in fright.

Jiang Ning said coldly, “My patience is limited.”

“Don’t, don’t smash it.” The lady boss hurriedly said, “I remember now, the old woman left a note for me when she left. I don’t know who it was for.”

“Where’s the note? Bring it to me!”

“I just threw it away. Let me think about where I put it…” The lady boss looked around nervously and finally picked up a note from the corner.

Gucheng took the note and handed it to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning unfolded the note and glanced at it, her brow furrowing slightly. She said to Gucheng, “Let’s go.”

Once outside, Jiang Ning looked back at the shop and murmured to herself, “It seems I really need to bring more people with me when I go out in the future; otherwise, I won’t even have someone to pass a message.”

Gucheng asked, “To whom?”

To my Third Brother, have him investigate the background of this shop,” Jiang Ning pondered. “But that’s not urgent. Right now, we need to go to another place.”

Gucheng nodded without asking where they were headed. Wherever Jiang Ning went, he would follow.

Jiang Ning walked a few steps and then stopped. “Do you know where this is?” she asked.

She showed the note to Gucheng.

Gucheng glanced at it and nodded. “I know.”

“Take me there.”

“Alright.”

Gucheng immediately grabbed her arm, and they leaped onto the rooftops, heading for Bench Alley as written on the note.

The alley was narrow and quiet, with only one small house.

Jiang Ning walked up and turned to ask Gucheng before knocking on the door, “Who do you think kidnapped Xiachu?”

Gucheng shook his head slightly.

“I can probably guess who it is. But what if there’s an ambush inside? Should we go back for reinforcements first?”

“The note,” Gucheng reminded her.

The note said that if she brought others along, they would immediately kill Xiachu. It also said that if she didn’t come within an hour, they would kill Xiachu as well.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, “It seems I can only venture in alone.”

“No, you won’t,” Gucheng said.

What he meant was that he would protect her from the shadows.

As long as he wanted to hide, no one in the world could discover his tracks.

Jiang Ning said, “Then I’ll go in.”

“Alright.”

Having said that, Gucheng disappeared in an instant.

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but feel envious.

She wanted to learn these skills too.

Unfortunately, Gucheng always said her aptitude was too poor, and she wouldn’t be able to learn his skills even after twenty years.

She had to admit that the gap between people often exceeded the difference between humans and other species.

Jiang Ning stepped forward and grabbed the door knocker, giving it a few taps.

The door opened with a creak. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The yard was neat and tidy, with no snow on the ground.

It was even filled with flowers and plants. If it weren’t for the cold weather, it would seem like spring.

An old woman with slicked-back hair looked at Jiang Ning and then stepped aside, courteously saying, “Our master is waiting for you inside. Please come in.”

As Jiang Ning entered, she looked around and smiled, “The Crown Prince sure knows how to enjoy himself. He’s only been in Chang’an for two days and has already bought himself such a nice house.”

The old woman looked at her with surprise upon hearing this.

Jiang Ning walked into the backyard and heard faint laughter coming from the house.

At the same time, she saw a scene that made her blood boil.
