I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 237 How decent is it?

Mu Yuan quickly changed the subject.

"It's okay, my lady. Right now, I have a more difficult matter. I hope you can help me..."

"This incident may become an opportunity for your Xin family to be vindicated!"

Has he also been secretly investigating what happened back then?

Ever since they learned that the Xueying, Lengyue and Liefeng families were wiped out, the three of them have been secretly investigating the matter.

Even though we know that it was Prime Minister He Qizon who "executed first and reported later", so many years have passed after all. It is really difficult to reopen the case and find evidence.

"Did you find out anything?"

"Do you believe me, my lady?"

This was a nonsensical answer. Although Xin Youran was puzzled, she nodded. "Of course. What else can you lie to me about?"

Didn’t you just return a stack of banknotes to her?

Mu Yuan chuckled, "My lady, just trust me. I need your cooperation on something now."

"If I cooperate with you, can we overturn the verdict of that year?"

Xin Youran's expression gradually became serious, and then she leaned towards Mu Yuan, looking straight at him, trying to see through him.

Mu Yuan's heartbeat quickened at this moment, and he felt a little hot. He didn't dare to look directly at her, so he said with a side face, "Yes, I'm sure my lady has heard that in two days, the Queen will choose a Crown Princess for me."

"And the Crown Princess's partner is very likely to be the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter."

Xin Youran quickly retreated to her original position. "Oh, congratulations, Your Highness! I heard the Prime Minister's daughter is the most beautiful woman in the capital. They're a match made in heaven."

"Doesn't the Prime Minister become your father-in-law?"

"You're not here to make peace with your future father-in-law, are you?"

"I'm telling you, it's impossible!"

"In that case, there's nothing more to discuss, and our cooperation is null and void!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. "Stop the car!"

Just as he was about to stand up and get off the carriage, Mu Yuan grabbed him.

Ji Feng, who was driving the carriage, didn't understand what was going on, but he still stopped the carriage obediently.

The car stopped suddenly and due to inertia, Xin Youran sat on Mu Yuan's thighs. She wanted to struggle to get up, but someone held her waist tightly.

"What a mess you have in your head every day!"

"This time, I want my wife to help me recognize that you and I have already secretly decided to spend our lives together, and I will marry you!"

"So the choice of the Crown Princess falls on you."

"By then, He Qizong will definitely not be resigned and will definitely make some moves. How about we make a feint to the east and attack in the west to catch him off guard?"

Seeing that Xin Youran in his arms stopped struggling, Mu Yuan let go of his hands and tidied up her messy clothes.

"What do you think, my lady?"

It seemed she couldn't refute Mu Yuan's proposal. Thinking back to when she lied to him that the two of them were a pair of star-crossed lovers who had committed suicide for love, she hadn't even discussed it with him...

"Well, can I just pretend?"

pretend?

Mu Yuan had been observing Xin Youran's reaction. From what he heard, she could accept the so-called pretense...

It seems that we need to take it step by step, so let's just follow her for now.

"Well, so I need your cooperation in two days. Come with me to the palace, okay?"

Enter the palace?

Oh my god, she has never imagined being involved with the palace.

go for what?

Is this a show for the people in the palace?

Xin Youran had a bad feeling. "Mu Yuan, what if your father insists on you marrying someone else?"

"Well, he won't chop me to pieces in a rage, will he?"

Mu Yuan couldn't help but flick her forehead and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you get beheaded, I won't live in vain. How about staying with you?"

Xin Youran:!!!

"Pah, pah, pah, what are you crazy about?"

"I don't want to die so early, and you can't die either. We still have important things to do!"

Mu Yuan saw that her fair forehead was a little red, and she didn't use any force at all.

He raised his hand and rubbed her, "My lady, you are right. Don't worry, I have made all the necessary preparations and will protect you."

Well, then she would go and meet the ruthless Prime Minister He Qizon.

"By the way, I heard from the clerk at the gold shop that Shopkeeper Zhuo was taken away by the government. Will his gold shop be closed down?"

Mu Yuan was a little confused. Shouldn't he be concerned about how to deal with people?

Why are you still concerned about the gold shop?

"If the Dali Temple finds anything wrong with his gold shop, it will definitely be closed down."

Xin Youran chuckled, "Then wouldn't it be very cheap to sell this sealed gold shop?"

"Why? You want to buy that gold shop?"

Xin Youran nodded, "Yes, and I plan to open another shop to sell spices and other things."

Since I have promised to lead the villagers of Crescent Valley onto the road to prosperity, I cannot go back on my word.

What's more, the area has natural advantages and is a perfect base for producing spice raw materials, so it cannot be wasted.

"Okay, my lady, I will support you in whatever you do. If the banknotes are not enough, I have plenty here."

As Mu Yuan spoke, he was about to take out the banknotes from his pocket.

Xin Youran quickly waved her hand to stop him, "No, no, you've already given me enough."

"If anything happens at the gold shop, you must inform me immediately."

From her observation, she found that the clerks in the gold shop were very skilled, and except for the shopkeeper Zhuo, many of them were very responsible.

This is a good employee who is already here, we can’t waste him.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Leng Yue should be worried if she can't find me."

"In two days, you can just send someone to Yuemanlou to pick me up."

After Xin Youran finished her instructions, she jumped off the carriage as quickly as possible without caring about Mu Yuan's reaction.

When he was about to look for Leng Yue, he found that many pedestrians were pointing at her on the road.

"This carriage is so luxurious, I wonder which noble family it belongs to."

"Look carefully at this carving. Only the palace can carve it, right?"

"From the palace?"

"Just now I saw a tall man carrying that young lady in. Could he be a prince?"

"He's probably here to meet his lover. He's so impatient, even on the street!"

"How shameful! How shameful!"

The eyes of passersby were too hot, and the most important thing was that they were teasing her in front of her, and their words became more and more unpleasant.

Mu Yuan must have done this on purpose!

Since that’s the case, let’s do something big and see how you, Mu Yuan, end up.

"Alas, there's nothing I can do about this. It's just that my face is so seductive and misleading."

"His Royal Highness is completely fascinated by him. It's his fault for being a little impatient."

"But it will be legal in two days, we can't wait."

"Well, the man is still in the carriage. Do you want me to call him out and talk to him face to face?"

When everyone heard it, they realized it was the legendary vicious and cruel Crown Prince!

Suddenly scattered.

I didn’t expect Mu Yuan to have this function. Can he scare children to tears if I bring him out?

Xin Youran looked at the carriage that was still standing there without moving, and waved her hand with a smile, regardless of whether he saw it or not, to make passers-by more certain of the truth of her words.

Then he put his hands behind his back, held his head high and walked towards Zuixianlou.
