Yuan Chen said: "It's Gu's fault. This kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
It was indeed his incompetence that Yuan Qiuci kidnapped Jialan under his nose, and Xiao Ce should blame him.
Xiao Ce originally thought that Yuan Chen would shirk responsibility, but he didn't expect that Yuan Chen would admit his mistakes so well.
He snorted and said, "I can't trust you. From now on, I will stay close to protect our young lady."
"OK."
Yuan Chen had no choice but to agree to him. Soon after hearing the news, Mu Rufeng and Ye Jinming rushed over. Seeing Yuan Qiuci's body on the ground, Ye Jinming asked, "What's going on?"
Yuan Chen then told them about Yuan Qiuci's kidnapping of Xiao Jialan.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ce said: "General Mu, you have to be careful of His Royal Highness. Just now, in order to save our young lady, he promised this woman to give you to her!
If I hadn't saved our young lady, your life would be in danger now."
Mu Rufeng's lips twitched, he stared at Yuan Chen and asked, "You want to trade me for your Jialan?"
Yuan Chen asked him: "What? Isn't it possible?"
Mu Rufeng choked, gritted his teeth and said, "You are really my brother."
He absolutely believed that Yuan Chen could do such a thing.
Xiao Jialan couldn't stand it and said, "No, Yuan Chen is just trying to delay time."
As she said that, she turned back to look at Xiao Ce and said, "Do you think His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know that you are following me secretly?
Do you really think he can't save me? He just wants to give you a step down and let you follow me to protect me.
You think you are stupid, but you still want to provoke Yuan Chen and Mu Rufeng, you are simply embarrassing me."
Xiao Ce's eyes widened, he frowned and said, "So, he did it on purpose?"
Xiao Jialan shrugged, showed the silver needle hidden at her fingertips and said: "Last time, sister Xuechu and I were kidnapped, so Yuan Chen asked sister Ruyi to prepare a hidden weapon for me.
He also taught me how to save myself when someone was kidnapped. The reason why I didn't take action was to cooperate with Yuan Chen and give you a chance to make meritorious deeds.
Yuan Chen told me a long time ago that you were following me secretly, he didn't take action, he was just giving you a chance."
Xiao Ce couldn't help but doubt himself after hearing this. He thought he had caught Yuan Chen's hand and could ridicule him, but he never thought that it was this man who arranged it.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he also knew that this man did have some abilities.
Xiao Ce said depressedly: "Then he can't joke about your life and death."
Xiao Jialan laughed angrily at him and said: "Yuan Chen is not a god, how could he expect that Yuan Qiuci would do such a trick?
You won't be happy if he steals your limelight, and you won't be happy if he doesn't steal your limelight.
He has already bowed his head and wants to shake hands with you and make peace. Why can't you let go of your prejudice? This makes us Nanyue people particularly stingy."
Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Jialan with a resentful look and said, "Isn't it okay for my subordinates to complain? Who told him to always bully his subordinates based on your favor?"
Mu Rufeng couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Are you still a three-year-old child? What are you messing around in there?
Based on what you have done, if it were not for the sake of your master, you would have died so many times.
You said it's not good for you to offend anyone, but you have to offend the prince. I'm afraid you think you've lived too long."
"alright."
Yuan Chen interrupted them, and then said to Xiao Ce: "You dispose of the body, and we will go back first."
Xiao Ce reacted and asked: "Why let me handle it? Isn't she your sister?"
