Jian Junyi stepped aside and said to each other: "Your Highness, go slowly, Princess, go slowly."
After walking further away, Gu Xiyan pinched Zhou Mu's hand and said angrily: "Can the young master be more childish? Will the young master become jealous as long as a man shows his face in front of me?"
"Really?" Of course Zhou Mu would not admit that he was petty.
Just now, Jian Junyi not only showed up in front of Xi Yan, she also made no secret of her admiration for Jian Junyi. This was an "honor" that even Xu Yanqing had never experienced.
Gu Xiyan sneered and was too lazy to argue with Mr. Zhou. He would not admit that he was stingy anyway.
After walking farther, she turned back and looked in the direction where Jian Junyi and Rong Yu were standing.
Zhou Mu followed her gaze and asked, "Is it so beautiful?"
Gu Xiyan looked away and sighed softly: "I just feel that things in the world are elusive. Mr. Jian is so good that both Rong Yu and Lu Shujing secretly expressed their love for Mr. Jian. However, Mr. Lu and Rong Song may have caused Mr. Jian to miss the chance.
Is this a form of retribution for being the culprit in the post of prefect?"
Zhou Mu thought her logic was correct, and he thought she thought Jian Junyi's face was pretty.
"If Jian Junyi were to use a beauty trick to get Rong San to hand over the Rong family's account books, do you think this would work?" Zhou Mu had a sudden thought.
Gu Xiyan's eyes flashed slightly and she replied categorically: "Rong Yu will never betray the Rong family for Young Master Jian. This woman has inherited Rong Song's ruthlessness, and there is no way that she will become the daughter of a sinner because of her children's affair.
”
Zhou Mu slowed down when he heard this, "Why are you so sure?"
Gu Xiyan thought to herself that she just knew. Rong Yu in her previous life ran away before anything happened to the Rong family, leaving behind everyone in the Rong family, including her own children.
In her previous life, Rong Yu failed to marry Jian Junyi and gave birth to a pair of children. Later, she even gave up her own biological children.
How could a woman who doesn't even care about family ties put herself in such an embarrassing situation for the sake of her children's personal relationship?
"A woman's intuition! The first time I met Rong Yu, I thought she was cruel and ruthless." Gu Xiyan casually found an excuse.
Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan deeply: "My husband feels that Madam is dishonest."
Gu Xiyan:......
"Madam obviously listened to what Mr. Yan said, but she said it was her own intuition." Zhou Mu exposed Gu Xiyan's lie with one word.
Gu Xiyan:......
"Does Madam treat your husband as an outsider?" Zhou Mu sighed softly and continued walking forward.
Gu Xiyan knew she was in the wrong, so she followed Zhou Mu and explained: "Husband, please don't think nonsense. It's because I know that my husband doesn't like Mr. Yan, so I don't want to mention her in front of my husband all the time."
Zhou Mu said nothing, and Gu Xiyan stepped forward and took his hand. He was not willing to do so at first, but after she took the initiative several times, he finally "reluctantly" took her hand instead.
Gu Xiyan thought that this person was still as easy to coax as ever, but also as sharp as ever. She had to think twice before lying in front of him to make sure that he would not expose her.
Otherwise, things like this will just happen again and again.
The two couples wandered around the city like this. The things Gu Xiyan took a second look at were eventually bought by Zhou Mu.
When the couple returned to the post house, it was already an hour later.
Gu Xiyan was exhausted and fell on the bed to take a nap, while Zhou Mu listened to Qi Youyuan's report.
There are obviously more people monitoring them today than yesterday. It is initially estimated that there are three groups of people.
"Three groups of people?" Zhou Mu became interested when he heard this: "Rong family, Lu family, who else is there?"
"We still don't know the identity of that group of people. I'm wondering if they are members of His Highness King Qin." Qi Youyuan replied respectfully.
Ever since he came to Suzhou, King Qin seemed to have disappeared, and their people had no interest in following King Qin.
Zhou Mu felt that this guess was reasonable: "It's possible."
"My subordinates will continue to follow up. Your Highness should also pay attention to safety." Qi Youyuan reported some other things before resigning.
After that, Zhou Mu called Qi Zhiyuan and told him: "Look for an opportunity and send a message to Jian Junyi. I want to meet him. Remember, no one knows that I have any private dealings with Jian Junyi."
Qi Zhiyuan understood what Zhou Mu meant and started to handle the matter.
That night after Gu Xiyan went to bed, a black figure left the post house like lightning and headed towards the southern suburbs of Suzhou City.
Jian Junyi received the message from Qi Zhiyuan in the afternoon, and Zhou Mu made an appointment with him to meet him in the southern suburbs.
Zhou Mu seemed very cold when meeting him at noon, but he suddenly invited him to meet in the suburbs. So Zhou Mu suddenly came to Suzhou, not for fun, but for another purpose?
He had been waiting at the appointed place early. He seemed calm on the surface, but in fact his heart was turbulent.
If His Highness came to Suzhou this time to investigate a five-year-old corruption case, would it be possible to find the culprit?
Around midnight, Zhou Mu's carriage arrived.
Jian Junyi was about to step forward to salute, but Zhou Mu waved his hand to stop him: "No need to be more polite. I came to you because I have something to ask you."
Zhou Mu asked directly: "Does Jian Tongzhi know some unknown secrets about the corruption case five years ago?"
Jian Junyi's heart finally fell to the ground at this moment. This was the answer he was waiting for: "As far as the common people know, my father should know some things, but only the details. He still needs to explain it to His Highness in detail."
"Then you tell Jian Tongzhi that I want to meet him privately without disturbing other people." Zhou Mu saw that it was late, "When you go home later, be careful to see if anyone is following you secretly.
, don’t let anyone know about my private meeting with you.”
Jian Junyi agreed and sent Zhou Mu to the carriage.
Before getting on the carriage, Zhou Mu suddenly asked: "If I say that the Rong family is suspicious, will you use a honey trap against Rong San?"
Jian Junyi didn't expect Zhou Mu to say such a sentence suddenly, and his expression was a bit hard to describe.
Seeing his expression, Zhou Mu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Don't you think the honey trap might work?"
Jian Junyi finally returned to normal, "The common people believe that there are many ways for a gentleman to do something and not do something, and playing with other people's feelings should not be promoted."
Zhou Mu took a deep look at Jian Junyi and lightly opened his thin lips: "What a pity you have such a face."
Jian Junyi's expression was even more indescribable.
His Highness always speaks in unexpected ways, which is really inconsistent with his immortal appearance.
Zhou Mu took a carriage back to the city, and then used Qinggong to return to the post house.
He has excellent light skills, but in the end he still has to use his inner strength. When he changed out of his night clothes, his breath was a little unstable.
It wasn't until he got into bed, got close to the sleeping Gu Xiyan, and smelled her unique soothing fragrance that his breath gradually stabilized.
He deeply smelled the fragrance of the woman and felt very relieved and satisfied.
