Chapter 996 Who is the Benefactor?
The antidote in the body slowly took effect, and Tong Zhenzhi woke up with difficulty, holding up her heavy eyelids.
"Who are you?!"
She looked around and found that she had returned to Prince Di Jin's residence, and her benefactor was nowhere to be found.
Hearing the sound, Tong Pan quickened his pace and ran into the room.
"Don't be afraid, third sister. It's me."
Tong Zhenzhi sat up.
"I didn't ask you. What I asked was... Never mind. Even if I tell you, you won't know."
Tong Pan set up the small table, sat down, and placed the pastry in his hand in front of his sister.
"Maybe you want to ask, who sent you back?"
Tong Zhenzhi asked urgently, not interested in the cakes.
"Have you met him?"
"Who is he?"
Tong Pan was careful and helped his sister unwrap the paper that wrapped the pastries.
"There's a carriage shop on Middle Street called Junma Pentium. Do you remember it?"
Tong Zhenzhi nodded.
"remember."
"Manager Li, the galloping horse, is your good friend."
"Why mention him?"
Tong Pan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of cake and fed it to his sister.
"The person who sent you back was one of his servants."
Tong Zhenzhi reluctantly took a bite.
"Buddy?"
"Is he a fellow?"
"What's his name?"
Tong Pan looked troubled.
"I only recognize him, but I don't know his name."
Tong Zhenzhi questioned.
"A cart shop clerk actually knows medicine?"
Tong Pan guessed.
"Shopkeeper Li has learned some medical skills. I think he taught them to that clerk."
Tong Zhenzhi sighed.
"Alas, it's a waste of his talent to have him as a waiter."
Smelling a hint of lovesickness, Tong Pan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"What's your intention in asking about him?"
Tong Zhenzhi avoided talking about her feelings and only talked about her gratitude.
"I was in trouble, and he saved me."
"I wanted to repay him, so I asked his name, but he didn't answer. Even in my dreams, I kept asking, 'Who is he?'"
Tong Pan showed a look of satisfaction.
“Do good things without leaving a name.”
"Well, this guy has good character."
"If you want to get to know me, I agree."
Tong Zhenzhi was delighted.
"Big brother, are you willing to introduce me?"
Tong Pan is gentle and kind.
"Of course I do."
"Your benefactor is my benefactor, and I am willing to repay you."
Tong Zhenzhi was impatient.
"Then go and ask him what his name is and when he's free to see me."
Tong Pan tapped her forehead with his fingertips.
"Look at you, girl, you're so anxious. If someone sees you, they'll laugh at you."
Tong Zhenzhi pushed him and urged him coquettishly.
"Brother, you are so long-winded. Please go quickly."
Tong Pan responded and stood up.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
After watching her brother leave, Tong Zhenzhi got out of bed, changed her clothes and got dressed.
With Yan Yu's permission, Tong Pan brought the waiter with him.
At this time, Tong Zhenzhi had finished dressing up and stood in what she thought was the most beautiful posture. She thought about her stunning benefactor, which made his heart flutter and he could not control his emotions.
Seeing his sister acting coyly and obviously in love with someone, Tong Pan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Allow me to introduce you. This is my younger sister, Tong Zhenzhi."
"Third sister, this is the clerk of the Galloping Horse, Ren Liyi, also known as Ren Shaolang."
Ren Liyi was stunned by her beauty and stared at her intently, unable to move his eyes away.
"Mrs. Virgin, I have long admired you."
Tong Zhenzhi gave him a stiff smile.
"Ren Shaolang, I've long admired you."
"I have something to say to my brother. Please wait a moment, Mr. Ren."
Ren Liyi is polite.
"Okay, please do as you please, lady."
Tong Zhenzhi pulled her brother to a corner to make sure that Ren Shaolang could not hear their conversation.
"Big brother, you found the wrong guy. He is not my benefactor."
Tong Pan was surprised.
"How could you find the wrong one?"
"Shopkeeper Li said that he was the one who brought you back yesterday."
"I also recognize him. That man from yesterday was him."
Tong Zhenzhi suddenly understood.
"He must be my benefactor. Go to the carriage shop and hire someone to take me back."
"Ask Shopkeeper Li who the employer is."
Tong Pan blamed.
"You're just messing around."
"How could he casually reveal the employer's name?"
"If things go wrong, we might get into trouble and be arrested and taken to Tinghetai. What will you do with Manager Li?"
Tong Zhenzhi is willful.
"I do not care."
"I must know who the benefactor is."
"Please help me find a solution."
Tong Pan dotes on him.
"merciful."
"I will see the guests off first, then go to Yuexi Mansion and ask the princess for advice."
……
Ning Cangmo prevented Xu Mingqian from reporting the news. His original intention was to wait until Tong Zhenzhi died before stopping, and he fabricated the illusion that Xu Mingqian was murdering Tong Zhenzhi.
After tremendous effort and taking numerous precautions, he finally managed to defend himself against Fang Zhixuan, but unexpectedly, something went wrong on An Xiaohuan's side.
Ning Cangmo had no idea why An Xiaohuan was protecting Tong Zhenzhi, so he investigated carefully.
After finding out that An Xiaohuan and Ning Yunxi had a past relationship, Ning Cangmo understood everything.
The plan failed, there was no need to obstruct Xu Mingqian anymore, Ning Cangmo stopped.
Later, Ning Jiewei reported that Tong Zhenzhi was in danger.
After asking, Ning Yunxi found out that a lot of time had been wasted. She was frightened and panicked, and hurried to Prince Di Jin's palace.
Tong Pan happened to arrive and reported the matter.
"That's roughly the situation."
"Princess, is there any way to find out who that benefactor is?"
Ning Yunxi pondered and speculated, guessing what happened in the palace, and soon came to a conclusion.
"It's Lord Beizhao Shi'an."
Tong Pan had never heard of this person before and looked confused.
Ning Yunxi added further explanation.
"He is the legitimate son of Lord Tongshi Cheng'an."
Tong Pan's heart tightened.
"Is he one of the enemy forces?"
"No wonder he didn't want to tell his name."
"He probably thought that the third sister was Prince Di Jin's person and didn't want to have anything to do with her."
Ning Yunxi is graceful.
"Whether he knew the secrets of the Tongshitai residence, I have no way of inferring. However, what is certain is that he knew the identity of the virgin princess as the emperor."
Tong Pan was confused.
"Since he knew my sister wasn't an enemy, why didn't he want to reveal her name?"
Ning Yunxi looked a little embarrassed.
"Uh... the reason is not important, so let's not talk about it."
She turned the conversation back.
"Master An not only bravely rescued the young girl in the alley, but also saved the young girl from the emperor's clutches."
Tong Pan frowned.
"In the Emperor's hands?"
"What do you mean, princess?"
"Your Majesty intends to kill my third sister?"
Ning Yunxi recounted what happened in the palace, half of it true and half inferred.
After hearing this, Tong Pan was deeply moved.
"They had never met before, yet Lord An came to their rescue twice, and he was so resolute and selfless."
"As you can imagine, he is deeply in love with my sister."
"Perhaps, one day in the past, my sister risked her life to save him, and thus, their fate began."
Ning Yunxi smiled awkwardly and responded casually.
"Mr. Tong's analysis makes sense."
"I wonder what the maiden feels about him?"
Considering his third sister's reputation, Tong Pan answered implicitly.
"My sister, there is only a trace of affection, whether it is love or loyalty, it is difficult to judge at the moment."
Ning Yunxi smiled knowingly.
"Can I help bring them together?"
Tong Pan is polite.
"Alas, how dare I trouble the princess?"
Ning Yunxi smiled.
"It's okay, no trouble."
Tong Pan pretended to refuse.
"After all, he's one of the enemy, so it's not a good idea."
Ning Yunxi sighed.
"Mr. Tong is overthinking."
"The world will eventually belong to King Di Jin. All living beings should be treated equally, regardless of friend or foe."
