Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 226 Produce evidence

Upon seeing this, Su Yue couldn't help but feel puzzled, but she still subconsciously took two steps back and looked the man sitting on the ground up and down.

He was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, which were somewhat worn but still clean and tidy.

His hair was slightly disheveled, and his face was covered in dust, making him look rather disheveled.

However, his words, actions, and eyes subtly revealed a unique quality.

After hesitating for a while, Su Yue finally opened her mouth again, snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Anyone can talk nonsense, but you dare to shamelessly claim to be the steward of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. You must have some convincing evidence, right?"

"If you can't produce any evidence, I won't believe your nonsense so easily!" As she spoke, her bright, star-like eyes stared intently into the other person's eyes.

It was as if they wanted to see through his eyes to his innermost thoughts, trying to find a flaw in his expression.

The man smiled slightly, slowly reached into his robes and rummaged around for a moment, then pulled out a token and handed it to Su Yue.

He said confidently, "Look, this is the token of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. This token represents the authority and status of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be faked!"

Su Yue quickly reached out and took the token, examining it carefully.

However, after looking at it for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out, since she had never seen what the token of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion actually looked like before.

Could it be... could it be that I really mistook this person for a thief and arrested him by mistake?

If that's the case, what should we do next?

She couldn't just brush it all off with a simple "misunderstanding"! Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

What's going on in Shangdu? I've only been here two days and I've already mistaken two people for others.

After a slight hesitation, Su Yue first returned the token in her hand to the man, then took two steps forward and reached out her hands to help him up.

At the same time, she gently patted the dust off his clothes and said with a hint of apology and embarrassment, "So you really are the steward of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion!"

"I'm so sorry, I was just so worried about my brother's safety that I panicked and mistook you for a bad guy. How about I take you back as an apology?"

After all, he had mistaken the person first, actually mistaking the steward of someone else's mansion for someone else, and even brought that person out.

This is truly a huge joke!

Both morally and logically, we must send this butler back as soon as possible.

"Hehe, no problem at all. Since you are the prince's brother, you are naturally a distinguished guest of this manor. Why don't you come with me to the manor for a short while?" The man smiled broadly and looked at Su Yue with gentle eyes.

However, how could Su Yue really dare to go back with him?

If I were to enter the Prince's mansion, wouldn't I be exposed and have my secret revealed in no time?

So she quickly smiled apologetically and politely declined, saying, "Oh, thank you for your kindness, housekeeper!"

However, I do have important matters to attend to right now and simply cannot spare the time, so I'll let it go this time.

But don't worry, next time, I will definitely come to visit!

Before she finished speaking, Su Yue grabbed Dali beside her without hesitation, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared without a trace.

The man was left standing alone, a faint smile still on his face, gazing thoughtfully in the direction Su Yue had left.

He then gently blew a clear and melodious whistle.

In an instant, a dark shadow suddenly swept across the pitch-black night sky and descended from the sky.

Upon landing, they discovered that a person dressed in black was kneeling on one knee, respectfully awaiting the man's instructions.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?" The man in black's voice was deep and resonant, exuding an aura of awe.

It turns out that the seemingly ordinary man in front of them was actually the renowned Prince Zhenbei!

At this moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sharp as a knife, and said coldly, "Go and investigate carefully what those two people are all about and what their backgrounds are."

"Yes, sir!" Upon receiving the order, the man in black dared not delay for a moment. With a flash, he disappeared in the direction Su Yue had left, and in the blink of an eye, he blended into the vast night.

After running all the way to the Gu residence and scaling the wall, Su finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Su Yue and Dali returned to the courtyard, she saw Gu Yuanzheng pacing anxiously back and forth in the yard with a worried expression.

He would sometimes stop and look up towards the courtyard gate; at other times he would frown and mutter something to himself.

"Why are you still taking a walk here so late?" As soon as Su Yue stepped into the courtyard, she saw Gu Yuan pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot plate, looking restless.

Upon hearing Su Yue's voice, Gu Yuan suddenly looked up, a relieved smile instantly spreading across his face: "Oh, you're finally back!"

That woman actually sent someone over today with a lot of things, saying it was compensation and that she wanted to see you.

I told them I had fallen ill from exhaustion after traveling all that way, and then I sent them away.

As he spoke, Gu Yuan quickly stepped forward, grabbed Su Yue's hand, and eagerly pulled her into the house. As they walked, he continued in a low voice, "And another thing, the old Marquis also sent word that you should focus on recovering and then visit him after you've fully recovered..."

After the three entered the house, Gu Yuan gently closed the door and, after confirming that no one was around, leaned close to Su Yue's ear and recounted in detail what had happened that day.

After hearing Gu Yuan's account, Su Yue stared at him in disbelief and shouted angrily, "What kind of things did that woman send over?"

Why did you return it without saying a word?

What a fool! Even if we didn't need it ourselves, we could have kept it and sold it for some money! Now, that woman has gotten it for nothing!

You might as well take this opportunity; otherwise, people will say she's given you all sorts of good things, and you just didn't like them.

“This… well…” Gu Yuan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly nodded, thinking to himself: Indeed.

He couldn't help but recall all the things that had happened before, and he felt more and more that what Su Yue said made a lot of sense.

At this moment, Su Yue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile, and she said, "Next time she sends anything over, let's just put it all out. Then, hehe...!" Su Yue said with a mischievous grin, and even winked at Gu Yuan.
