"I'm not His Highness, how can I know what His Highness is thinking? Since you are so curious, why didn't you ask His Highness yourself just now?" Xu Yanqing replied casually.
Zhao Qingqi laughed angrily when he heard this: "It sounds like you are not afraid of His Highness."
Xu Yanqing was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Qingqi. In fact, he was also a little worried about Zhou Mu. Zhou Mu could not be as harmless as he seemed on the surface.
In addition, Zhou Mu has a high status and may be the emperor of the Jin Dynasty in the future. How could he not be afraid?
Zhou Mu was so anxious that he rushed back. As soon as he entered the city, a guard sent a message saying that Xi Yan had returned to the city and was blocked by Zhou Xing on Yong'an Street.
It's just that the guards didn't hear what Zhou Xing and Xi Yan said.
Zhou Mu pursed his thin lips tightly when he heard this, and hurried back to Zhou Mansion as quickly as possible.
He walked non-stop all the way, and after returning to Zhou Mansion, he went to Qishiyuan.
Gu Xiyan was waiting in front of the gate of Qishiyuan. The moment she saw Zhou Mu, her eyes lit up and she immediately stepped forward: "Young master is back?"
Zhou Mu looked at her coldly for the first time, without saying a word, and walked past her into Qi Shiyuan.
Gu Xiyan felt guilty and was about to follow her when Hu Die pulled her back and whispered: "Your Highness looks very angry, please be careful."
Gu Xiyan had just been thinking about how to explain to Zhou Mu about her going out. She only knew that Zhou Mu went out to look for her. She didn't know where else Zhou Mu went to look for her besides Bafang Hutong and Su Mansion. Why did he come back?
Zhou Mu looks so serious.
"It's okay, he's easy to coax." Gu Xiyan actually had no confidence when she said this.
She has known Zhou Mu for such a long time, but she has never seen Zhou Mu treat her like this. She must be really angry.
Hu Die made a cheering gesture to Gu Xiyan, and Gu Xiyan followed into the house uneasily.
It wasn't until they entered the dormitory and Zhou Mu sat down that Gu Xiyan slowly walked over to Zhou Mu and tugged on his sleeves.
Zhou Mu looked at her coldly and said nothing.
Gu Xiyan was used to his gentle eyes, and for a while she was a little uncomfortable with his cold look.
She weakly shouted: "Husband..."
Zhou Mu just looked at her, still silent.
Maybe she didn't even realize it, but whenever she felt guilty, she would call him husband. When she usually got along with him, she was used to calling him son.
He corrected her many times, but she just couldn't change her bad habit.
Seeing that Zhou Mu's expression didn't relax at all, Gu Xiyan panicked a little. She wondered if Zhou Mu knew something, otherwise why was he so cold to her?
She opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to speak.
Zhou Mu waited for a full quarter of an hour, but when he saw that Gu Xiyan didn't say a word, he felt disappointed for the first time.
He and she are husband and wife, but she hides something from him. If he could understand her before they got married, it would be understandable that she would not trust him.
Now that they are married and one person, why does she still hide everything from him?
"Xiyan, don't you have anything to say to me?" Zhou Mu asked hoarsely.
Gu Xiyan said: "Xiaodie was with me when I went out. She is good at martial arts and can protect me. Isn't it safe for me to come back..."
"Don't you tell me why you went to see Mr. Yan, why Mr. Yan was burned to death in that abandoned house, and why Zhou Xing appeared at the scene?" Zhou Mu interrupted Gu Xiyan's words with three consecutive questions.
Gu Xiyan didn't expect Zhou Mu to guess the general problem so quickly. She thought about it and stepped forward to hold Zhou Mu's hand.
Fortunately for Zhou Mu, she just touched his hand and pulled it away, acting like a chaste martyr.
He was angry, but she didn't know how to comfort him, so she leaned forward and kissed him on the face.
Zhou Mu looked at her coldly and almost laughed angrily.
At this time, she knew how to use a honey trap against him, but she had never been so proactive.
Seeing that he was still angry, Gu Xiyan tried to press a kiss on the corner of his lips.
"Don't touch me!" Zhou Mu turned his head and stopped her from kissing me again.
Now it's time to get down to business. What kind of beauty trap is she pulling? He's the one who spoiled her!
When Gu Xiyan saw that Zhou Mu didn't accept her behavior, she knew that if she didn't say something today, she wouldn't be able to get over this hurdle.
"Actually, it's not that complicated. After discussing it with Su Mei, I felt that cutting off the salary was the best way, so I killed Mr. Yan." Gu Xiyan said while looking at Zhou Mu's face.
Expression, I hope he can give some expression.
Pian Zhou Mumu is expressionless and not as easy to coax as before.
She could only continue: "Of course the person in the deserted house is not the real Mr. Yan, but a death row prisoner found by Rong Song, who was executed yesterday. Our purpose is to make King Qin think that Mr. Yan is dead, so that King Qin
There will be no reason to monitor Su Mei and Rong Song in the future."
She said and tugged on Zhou Mu's sleeves: "Husband, please don't be angry, okay?"
Zhou Mu pulled back his sleeve from her hand, "Don't do this with me! Let me ask you, have you ever thought about what would happen if everything fails?"
"Didn't I still have my husband to help me when things failed? My husband said, I can do whatever I want to do. After all, my husband helped me to take care of everything, so I let it go." Gu Xiyan said to please Zhou Mu.
smile.
Zhou Mu felt that this girl was used to saying nice things to coax him, but he couldn't forgive her easily. She must be hiding something from him.
"If there is anything else you are hiding from me, tell me!" Zhou Mu said seriously.
Gu Xiyan blinked her almond-shaped eyes lightly, pretending to be confused: "No, that's what I did today, and the plan was quite successful."
She didn't have much confidence in the last sentence and her voice was relatively low.
Zhou Mu snorted coldly: "The plan was quite successful?! Do you think the Guozuo Association couldn't find out that the specific time of death of the body was yesterday instead of today? Do you think Zhou Xing is so easy to bluff, and you don't think Mr. Yan died too much?"
What's weird? Furthermore, since the death row prisoner died yesterday, someone must have set the fire. If my guess is correct, you were hiding in the cellar and tied the lamps in the east wing with ropes, waiting for Zhou Xing and his people to enter.
, he pulled the rope and detonated the wine stored in the room..."
Gu Xiyan felt that Zhou Mu was very powerful and could easily guess her planning process.
"The prisoners on death row were originally sentenced to be burned, but they were moved to a deserted house after death. In addition, you don't need to worry. I took away the remaining rope from the burnt place. I also checked the cellar carefully and left only if there were no problems.
I don’t think King Qin knows these details at the moment, don’t worry, sir.” Gu Xiyan said, taking a stool and sitting down next to Zhou Mu: “If we fill up the cellar now, will there be no silver in this place?”
Suspect of a hundred taels?"
As a result, she approached Zhou Mu, who suddenly stood up, looking aloof and unwilling to be touched by her.
"Let me ask you, has Xu Yanqing seen you near the deserted house before?" Zhou Mu asked coldly.

I caught a cold again. It’s been two days and I still feel pain all over. It’s not that long since the last time I caught a cold.
