If it wasn't for his body being dirty, Nangong Yan would definitely hug his daughter. They had not met for a short while and she was slightly fatter, it should be because she was pregnant, she seemed much milder.
"Father, I'll have people prepare some water for you to take a bath."
"Alright."
"Greetings, father-in-law."
"Greetings, uncle."
"No need to be so polite," Nangong Yan had a face full of smiled, he had heard his daughter mention about these people, these people had taken care of his precious daughter in the past and made her what she was right now.
The crowd followed Nangong Yan into Ning Meng Yao's courtyard. In a short while, Grandmother Qin and the others had prepared the water for him.
After taking a bath, Nangong Yan changed into clean clothing and walked out: "Yao'er, father is here this time to tell you something very important."
"What is it?"
"Let's talk in the study," Nangong Yan looked at the people in the study, other than the servants who could be trusted, he was not really at ease.
As soon as everyone heard it, they knew something big had happened. Yu Feng and the others gave some thought and said: "Uncle, we still have things to handle, we'll not bother you all."
"Alright, go and get busy," How could a smart person like Nangong Yan not understand what they meant? They were just avoiding this matter.
The three of them entered the study, Nangong Yan took out an item from his clothes, he looked at Ning Meng Yao and sighed: "This has always been on your mother ever since she was young."
Ning Meng Yao's gaze landed on the necklace, she was dumbfounded. This…… She had seen it before, but not in this era, it was during the modern era. It was said that it was a personal item of a founding Princess, but she felt they were just hyping it up.
"I have no idea what is it used for, but your mother said it's very important. When I went to propose, your mother suddenly passed me this item, she told me not to tell others. Thereafter, something happened to her," He recalled Xiao Cheng Ya's worried look at that time, Nangong Yan really regretted not asking more questions, if he had asked some more, things might not have ended up like now.
They would also not be separated for such a long time.
Ning Meng Yao looked at Nangong Yan: "Father, you mean to say, mother was brought away because of this?"
"It might be possible," Nangong Yan nodded.
His answer made Ning Meng Yao recall that mysterious person Yu Feng and the others mentioned. Could it be that the mysterious person was not Nangong Yan but someone else? That said person might be looking for this item?
If it was so, who captured Xiao Cheng Ya?
Ning Meng Yao realized this matter was getting more and more complicated, they did not even have any knowledge over this item, even Nangong Yan did not know the origins of the necklace.
"Father, when did you begin searching for me?" Ning Meng Yao suddenly looked at Nangong Yan.
Nangong Yan did not understand why Ning Meng Yao would ask such a question, but he still replied: "It should be over half a year ago."
Ning Meng Yao calculated the time, it was earlier than the mysterious person.
"Some time ago, brother-in-law and the others told me that there's a mysterious person investigating me and mother, I initially thought it was father, but it doesn't seem right," The time does not match, not only so, Nangong Yan would not do such a thing after knowing long ago, the act would be redundant.
Nangong Yan's expression changed drastically: "Are your words true?"
"It's true."
Nangong Yan paced around in the study, there was worry in his eyes. Ning Meng Yao felt strange seeing him act like that, she felt Nangong Yan seemed to know who it was.
"Father, what's wrong?"
"Have you found out who is it?"
"Nope, even Tong Bao Zhai is unable to find out about this person," Ning Meng Yao shook her head, that person was too mysterious. She felt a sense of danger, especially after she knew it was not Nangong Yan.
Nangong Yan had a worried expression: "Yao'er, you must be careful. No, father will remain here until this matter is over before returning."
