After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 340: Zhao Ting’s Closest Friend

The aloof man glanced at ng Yao, "Do you believe what she says? If she was truly forced, she had countless opportunities to save herself, but she didn’t. Evidently, she is willing in this entire matter."

"If you believe it, you’re bound to get bitten! Madam, you have a chivalrous spirit and a good heart, I really can’t bear to see you being manipulated! Hear my advice, send her to the authorities!"

ng Yao sighed, "I was just playing along since the girl was so imrsed in her act. It’s no fun if you expose it like this."

After speaking, ng Yao efficiently tied the person up.

Afterwards, she led the two n, while the aloof man led the girl straight to the County Governnt.

Feng Zhiyuan was organizing those governnt officials; though they weren’t exactly respectful, with Bai Su in charge, none dared to cause trouble.

Of course, they weren’t easily intimidated either.

Once bitten, twice shy is a common affliction.

Under Zhu Fu’s indication, soone attempted to disregard Feng Zhiyuan’s orders, and ended up writhing in pain again.

Only then did they believe Bai Su wasn’t deceiving them.

"County Princess, what’s the matter?" Feng Zhiyuan asked as he saw ng Yao approaching.

The aloof man looked at ng Yao in surprise; this lady was actually a County Princess.

"I was just strolling around and encountered soone acting chivalrous, so I got involved. Look, I’ve brought the person to you. As for the cri, let this gentleman explain to you," ng Yao said, "I just lent a hand."

"Madam, there’s no need for modesty. Without your help, I couldn’t have managed them on my own," said the aloof man without taking credit.

Feng Zhiyuan politely invited the aloof man aside to discuss, while ng Yao asked Bai Su if everything was going smoothly.

"They’re all pretty scared," Bai Su replied, "Lord Feng has skills too, using both carrot and stick. Overall, it’s going quite well."

"For now, it seems smooth because those families are still watching. They’re unclear about my intentions, so they’re not making any moves. When they can’t stand by any longer, I’ll trouble you to protect Lord Feng," ng Yao said.

"Don’t worry, Sister ng, I will surely protect Lord Feng," Bai Su promised.

Lord Feng is a good person; he just told her about many delicious snack shops in Le’an.

He also promised to take her there to eat when things are settled.

For this reason, she must protect him well.

"Excuse , is there anything I should know?" A voice suddenly rang out.

ng Yao looked and saw it was the young man who almost purchased soone earlier.

Unnoticed, he quietly followed them.

"Lord Feng, this gentleman can also be considered involved in the matter," ng Yao said to Feng Zhiyuan.

Feng Zhiyuan nodded at the young man, gesturing for him to co over.

In no ti, Feng Zhiyuan understood the course of the events, but since the case involved cris committed elsewhere, it couldn’t be imdiately concluded.

And because the aloof man had followed them to several places, as an important witness holding evidence, Feng Zhiyuan needed him to stay to assist, temporarily housing him to report the case to Zong Cheng.

So he asked ng Yao to take him back.

ng Yao agreed, as it was on the way.

"Are you from the Capital City?" the aloof man asked on the way.

ng Yao nodded.

"Has the Capital City changed much now?"

"I can’t really answer your question, I haven’t stayed in the Capital City for long, so I can’t say if there’s much change!" ng Yao replied.

The aloof man smiled, "True."

"From your accent, it does sound a bit like Capital City dialect. Are you from there?" ng Yao asked.

"Yes," the aloof man said, "but I left the Capital City several years ago and haven’t returned since."

"Then you can go back to visit when you have ti."

The aloof man was silent for a while before saying lightly, "We’ll see."

It’s a place of sorrow; the person he wanted to et is no longer there, and he really doesn’t want to return.

ng Yao keenly sensed his mood was sowhat low, so she didn’t speak further.

Upon arriving at Feng Zhiyuan’s residence, standing at the door, they could hear Zhao Ting and Zong Cheng still intensely discussing so case matters.

ng Yao pushed the door open, without managing to disturb the two of them.

Only when ng Yao spoke did their discussion pause.

Zhao Ting looked up, "You—"

He wanted to ask ng Yao where she had gone.

However, he got tongue-tied when he saw the person by ng Yao’s side.

ng Yao noticed his strange behavior.

"Is there sothing on my face?" ng Yao asked.

"No, of course not. It’s just that I saw soone standing next to you! Who is this?" Zhao Ting quickly returned to normal.

"Oh, this is—"

ng Yao got stuck; she didn’t know this person’s na.

"By the way, I still don’t know your na!"

"I am Xun Yan," the aloof man said.

ng Yao was hearing the surna Xun for the first ti.

ng Yao explained Xun Yan’s purpose to Zong Cheng and Zhao Ting, and Zong Cheng welcod him.

As for Zhao Ting, for so reason, ng Yao always felt he was acting odd.

"Brother Zong, we’ve looked at enough docunts for today. You need adequate rest with your health. Shall we continue another day?" Zhao Ting suggested.

"Alright, I’ll follow Brother Zhao’s advice," Zong Cheng agreed.

Zhao Ting walked back with ng Yao to the next door.

He seed a bit distracted, occasionally showing puzzlent.

ng Yao couldn’t help but ask, "I’ve felt you were acting strangely since earlier. Is there sothing on your mind?"

Zhao Ting hesitated.

"Can’t you say it?"

"It’s not that I can’t say, A Yao, between us, there’s nothing I can’t say, just that I don’t know how to say it!" Zhao Ting was sowhat troubled.

ng Yao sighed.

"Do you rember I told you before about a close friend I had? ’I’ before!" Zhao Ting emphasized.

ng Yao understood it was when he was still a Prince.

"That was Xun Yan!" Zhao Ting said.

ng Yao was astonished, such a coincidence?

"You said he wandered the world? And ended up in Le’an?"

"That’s not the point; the point is, his real na isn’t Xun Yan!" Zhao Ting said heavily.

Xun Yan, Xun Yan, Xun Yan?!

ng Yao repeated the na several tis.

Soone’s original na had a Yan character!

Xun!

Yan!

So, are the things she’s thinking about true?

Zhao Ting considered the person a close friend, but Xun Yan’s feelings were different.

Of course, ng Yao couldn’t say her thoughts aloud.

Thinking is one thing.

Saying it out loud would definitely make Zhao Ting think too much.

If by accident, sothing goes wrong, who would she cry to?

"In this world, it’s common not to use your real na. I get that, but why use a na sa as mine? Also, what’s with making oneself look so disheveled? He’s almost unrecognizably thin!" Zhao Ting muttered.

Unrecognizable? How could that be?

ng Yao felt that Xun Yan’s appearance was just right.

He had a very unique aura.

"What are your plans, will you acknowledge him?" ng Yao asked.

Zhao Ting waved his hand, "Of course not. ’I’ have long returned to dust and ashes! Now I’m Zhao Ting! Besides, if we were friends before, eting anew, can’t we be friends again?"
