Chapter 133: Three Watches of the Night

Zheng Nianru stepped into the inn once again, feeling somewhat out of place.

Nanmen Yu had finally left, and although the outcome wasn't what Zheng Nianru had hoped for—far from ideal—there was still some gain. Nanmen Yu's master had died, but ultimately, it wasn't her fault, was it? It was the Duke of Jing Ci who wanted to kill her, and she wasn't the one who killed the Duke of Jing Ci.

Moreover, the Duke of Jing Ci didn't die; he was merely severely injured.

Given how much stuff Nanmen Yu left behind, it was clear that the Duke of Jing Ci wouldn't be dying anytime soon.

Once again, Father Ping and Mother Ping, along with Xing Cheng and Xing Le, stood gratefully in the lobby of the inn. They had never imagined that their savior would be a descendant of Prince Duan, the Commandery Princess. On her journey back to the city from the Traveling Palace, she had seen Xing Cheng and Xing Le playing with some young refugees and was moved to compassion, which prompted her to save them.
