Black Witch Petting Husband Strategy

Chapter 168 Siblings

After Ni Naina stepped out of the Zhan Wang Mansion, a servant respectfully led her to the carriage parked at the door. Qin Hanmo, wearing a royal blue gown, sat upright in the carriage, his eyes fixed on Ni Naina who had just boarded the carriage.

"Your Highness, where are you planning to go?" Ni Naina seemed unaware of Qin Hanmo's fiery gaze and asked calmly.

"Go to the painter's yard on the outskirts of the city." Qin Hanmo raised the corners of his mouth slightly and answered softly.

After hearing this answer, Ni Naina simply responded with an indifferent "Oh" and said no more, but his expression remained calm and composed, without any abnormality.

Qin Hanmo stared at Ni Naina, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes, and continued to ask:

"I heard that Master Wang is not from here, but he chose to come to the capital to establish an academy. I wonder where he is from? And why did he have this idea?"

Facing Qin Hanmo's question, Ni Nainai thought for a moment and decided that it would be better to keep a low profile. So she said casually:

"I have been traveling around since I was young and have no fixed place to live. It can be said that I have been living under the sky and on the ground. As for the establishment of the academy...it is all done in accordance with the wishes of my master." He did not want to portray himself as so noble and directly brought out his master to take the blame for himself.

"Then may I ask who is Young Master Wang's master?" Qin Hanmo frowned slightly when he heard this, and doubts arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask.

Ni Nainai laughed inwardly, knowing that the other party would most likely not believe what he said, but he still maintained a calm and composed expression on his face and lied:

"My master travels around the world and her whereabouts are erratic. I can't reveal too much about her specific identity."

"So that's how it is." Qin Hanmo had actually expected her to say this. This statement seemed to be exactly the same as that of the national teacher, and if you look closely, their appearances seemed to be somewhat similar.

"Your Highness, I just received news that the Imperial Preceptor has gone to Guose Tianxiang and is not in the mansion at the moment." At this moment, Fanghua hurriedly ran out of the Imperial Preceptor's mansion and reported the situation to Qin Hanmo.

"Got it." Qin Hanmo nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. Originally, he had planned to invite the national teacher to go to the Hua family courtyard together to look for the so-called Hua family treasure.

"Let's go." Qin Hanmo said softly.

"Yes, sir!" Fanghua responded, quickly jumped onto the carriage, and sat outside with Feng Ling.

She skillfully tightened the reins, waved the whip, drove the horse forward, and the carriage slowly drove out of the mansion.

Along the way, the carriage was silent, with only the sound of the wheels rolling in the air. Qin Hanmo sat quietly in the car, his eyes always fixed on Ni Nainai, who was sitting opposite him, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Finally, he broke the silence and asked:

"Don't you want to give a reasonable explanation for why you treated the people in Lingyun County in my name?" Qin Hanmo's tone was calm.

He stared at Ni Naina closely, as if trying to see through her eyes to see her true thoughts.

"This..." Ni Nainai showed a trace of confusion on her face, her eyes fell directly on Qin Hanmo, and happened to meet his deep and sharp eyes, but she did not have the slightest intention of retreating, instead, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile:

"All of this stems from the will of the Imperial Master."

"National Master?" Qin Hanmo frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his tone, and asked, "You actually know National Master Ni Yu?" He secretly wondered what kind of relationship there was between her and the mysterious National Master.

"Well... the Imperial Master is my elder sister." Ni Nainai made up a lie to deal with it. At this moment, she had to be careful not to reveal her true identity.

"If that's the case, then why have I never heard the National Master mention this matter?" Qin Hanmo's doubts grew deeper.

Facing Qin Hanmo's questioning, Ni Nainai calmly explained:

"We were forced to separate when we were young, and we were both so lonely and cold that we had almost no contact. My sister ordered me to act in your name, but she never gave any reason. I could only blame the pressure from our bloodline for not being able to resist. I had no choice but to obey."

While speaking, Ni Nainai kept staring into Qin Hanmo's eyes to show that she had not deceived her.

Qin Hanmo talked a lot during the trip, and Ni Naina felt very strange. In the past, when she attended the morning court with him, he also talked very little. Why did he talk so much today? Did he not like dealing with women?

When the carriage arrived at the Hua family's yard, Qin Hanmo asked Fanghua to send Ni Naina and others back. In fact, he just wanted Fanghua to know where she lived now so that it would be easier to find her in the future.

Of course, Ni Nainai could see what the prince was thinking. The only place Feng Ling could go was their secret base yard...
