Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: Just Be a Dead Man in Others’ Eyes
However, An Ning did not notice the complexity in Sikong Wuyou’s eyes when he uttered those words.
He had suspected that An Ning and Erlaizi were father and daughter from another world, yet he had investigated everything since their personalities began to change.
Although Sikong Wuyou’s identity was not deliberately concealed, he had never publicly revealed it within the boundaries of Long’an County; all the information used upon his appointnt was kept secret.
Sikong Wuyou could confidently say that even the Magistrate might not be able to uncover his true identity.
Moreover, given the current capabilities of An Ning and Erlaizi, with no power in their hands, they should not possibly know his identity.
Yet in reality, the little girl before him clearly knew his na.
And, when questioned, she appeared guilty.
This made Sikong Wuyou even more curious.
However, he also knew that the little girl could not possibly tell him how she knew his na.
But, seeing the little girl visibly tense, Sikong Wuyou couldn’t help but want to tease her a bit.
“Oh? I never knew I had beco so famous in Long’an County!”
“Lord County Magistrate is busy with countless affairs, such small talk among the common people need not concern you, my lord.”
If there weren’t people present, An Ning would have wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.
In truth, she did not really know whether the common people were aware of Sikong Wuyou’s matters.
She rely said it offhandedly to cover up how she knew, yet found the more she spoke, the more entangled things beca.
Looking at the aloof Sikong Wuyou, An Ning did not wish to further entangle herself with him.
She mustered her courage and said, “It’s already dark, my family is waiting for to return, if there’s nothing else, my lord, I would like to take my leave.”
An Ning indeed did not lie; after these series of delays, the sky was nearly pitch black.
Plus, with Sikong Wuyou pressing relentlessly, she felt anxious inside.
“Soone from the Pri Minister Residence ca.”
Observing An Ning’s urgent and evasive retreating figure, Sikong Wuyou spoke lightly.
Instantly, An Ning’s steps halted.
The visitor was Mu Yi, the formidable aide by An Bingfeng’s side, and the person he trusted most, An Ning knew in her heart.
Nevertheless, she could only feign confusion and said, “I do not understand what my lord ans by the Pri Minister Residence, I know nothing of it.”
“Does Miss An not want to know who her biological father is? And why he left without reason back then?” Sikong Wuyou spoke again.
“I do not.” An Ning answered resolutely.
No matter the reason, since he left, he should never return and disturb their peaceful life.
There’s no need for his ostensible protection that would only bring them more hardship and burden.
Especially since Madam Yan had remarried, An Bingfeng’s return would only worsen her situation, bringing no benefit.
As for those so-called riches and imnse power, An Ning did not care at all.
Even if she spends her life in this small mountain nook, earning small sums, she does not care for anything he offers!
Everyone suspects that An Bingfeng never returned because he died outside.
If that’s the case, let him be a dead man in others’ hearts.
