After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

In the study room of Duke Guo's Mansion, after the news came that Chu Huanyan was injured, Xiao Jinzhi immediately left Duke Shi and the others and headed to the banquet place.

When Xiao Rongxuan heard that it was Chu Huanyan who was injured, not Lin Qingying, he immediately suspected that something was wrong.

Before he could check the situation, Mu Feng arrived.

Ignoring Shi Cunhou's ugly expression, Mu Feng walked directly into the study and saluted Xiao Rongxuan.

"Failed?" Xiao Rongxuan frowned.

After listening to Mu Feng tell what happened, Xiao Rongxuan's face became darker and darker, "Sure enough, this prince underestimated Chu Huanyan."

Although he never expected to push Chu Huanyan into a desperate situation just by relying on such a plan from the beginning, he could make the other party suffer some hardships and beat him up.

But I didn't expect that Chu Huanyan was so alert, and that idiot Lin Qingying could let someone take away the hairpin so easily and miss the mark.

"Your Highness, Chu Huanyan has a few words for me to bring to Your Highness."

Mu Feng paused for a moment, looked at Xiao Rongxuan and said.

"Chu Huanyan asked me to tell His Highness that whether it is the Queen's matter or today's matter, she is doing it to protect herself. But if Your Highness insists on taking action again, she will not be polite anymore."

"Ha, that's ridiculous!" Xiao Rongxuan snorted coldly, "She is already engaged to Xiao Jinzhi. She and this prince are destined to be enemies in the future, so why waste time on her."

If Chu Huanyan really didn't want to be her enemy, she shouldn't have gotten involved with Xiao Jinzhi, and she shouldn't have caused her mother to lose the right to control the harem. It was already too late to say anything now.

"One more thing." Mu Feng frowned slightly, "She also said that she also wanted to thank His Highness."

"Thank you, my prince?" Xiao Rongxuan was confused, "What do you mean?"

Mu Feng shook his head, "She didn't go into details, and I don't know that."

However, the look on Chu Huanyan's face when she left just now made him feel that this thank you was not a pretense, but sincere.

Listening to the conversation between Xiao Rongxuan and Mu Feng, Shi Cunhou, who had been standing silently by the side, finally spoke.

"Third Prince, Wei Chen has just followed your wishes and invited His Highness the Crown Prince here. As you promised before..."

Shi Cunhou didn't finish his words, and moved his eyes to Mu Feng aside, with heavy creases between his eyebrows.

Since entering the court, he has acted cautiously and cautiously. He has never taken sides and always remained neutral. However, by deliberately inviting His Highness to the study just now, I am afraid that His Highness will definitely be suspicious in the future.

After years of hard work, it suddenly broke apart!

Mu Feng looked sideways at Shi Cunhou, with a rare smile on his lips, "Master Shi is really afraid of losing his reputation. In this case, why did he seize his wife and kill her to silence her?"

"I have never killed anyone to silence anyone!" Shi Cunhou retorted immediately. After finishing speaking, he lowered his eyes and said, "I was too young at the time and made a mistake in a moment of confusion. I have been regretting it all these years. But my old friend has passed away, even if I think about it, It’s too late to make amends.”

Although I don’t know how the third prince and the others learned about this, now he is shouldering the glory of the entire Shi Guogong Palace. Even if the original incident has passed many years, it must not be spread.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shi, I have always admired you. As long as you are willing to help me in the court, I can guarantee that no one else will know about this matter." Xiao Rongxuan looked smiling, but it is not difficult to notice if you look closely. There was a hint of coldness and pride in that smile.

Shi Cunhou's heart trembled. Although many people in the court supported the third prince, no one knew what the final outcome would be.

He originally wanted to remain neutral, so that no matter who the Crown Prince or the Third Prince would ascend to the high position in the end, it would be the same as before for Duke Shi's Mansion.

But now...

"What, is Mr. Shi not willing? Or do you think you despise me from the bottom of your heart?" Xiao Rongxuan said quietly.

Shi Cunhou took a deep breath, and after a moment he raised his hands and said, "Wei Chen doesn't dare, Wei Chen... is willing to serve the third prince."

Amid Xiao Rongxuan's satisfied chuckle, several people left the study.

And after a few people left, a figure hiding in the dark left quietly...

On the other side, Xiao Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief after carefully examining Chu Huanyan's wound and confirming that it was nothing serious.

But his face was still gloomy, which made everyone in the garden a little nervous.

Lin Qingying, in particular, stood aside with a pale face. If you look closely, you can see that her body is shaking slightly.

Although Chu Huanyan didn't mention anything about what happened just now if it was just an accident. But in everyone's eyes, Chu Huanyan was called out by Lin Qingying. Now that she came back after being injured, Lin Qingying looked so guilty, and there was even blood on her chest and skirt. It didn't look that simple.

Many people suspected that Lin Qingying scratched Chu Huanyan, but Chu Huanyan said it was just an accident, and even if they suspected it, they couldn't say much.

In the end, I just watched Xiao Jinzhi take Chu Huanyan and leave early with a gloomy expression.

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, the carriage stopped not far away. Qin Li carefully reported everything he heard just now.

"Forcibly seize other people's wives, kill people and silence them..." Chu Huanyan frowned, "This is quite a handle."

"Miss Chu, how did you and Your Highness determine that Duke Shi might be threatened by the third prince?" Qin Li was puzzled.

Just before His Highness and Miss Chu went to the garden with everyone, His Highness quietly sent him a message, asking him to keep an eye on Duke Shi in secret. At that time, Duke Shi had not shown up to deliberately distract His Highness.

"After all, it's the Duke's Mansion. Xiao Rongxuan wants to take action. Without the acquiescence of Duke Shi, it won't be that easy." Chu Huanyan's eyes were clear.

After arriving just now, it was obvious that something was wrong between Lin Qingying and Xiao Rongxuan. At that time, she was suspicious of what Xiao Rongxuan had instructed Lin Qingying to do.

But there are so many maids and servants in the huge Duke's Mansion. If you want to set up a trap against yourself in the Duke's Mansion, you may be broken into by someone if you are not careful, and once a flaw is exposed, it is easy to offend Duke Shi. Jealousy.

So she suspected at that time that Xiao Rongxuan had put some effort into Shi Guogong. After Xiao Jinzhi appeared, they secretly discussed and decided to let Qin Li keep an eye on him first.

"Miss, since you guessed from the beginning that Lin Qingying would attack you, why did you let His Highness the Crown Prince leave? It's too dangerous. What if the Third Prince's plan is to attack you, Miss!" Xian Yue couldn't help but say. .

Although the young lady only hurt her hand now, and she scratched it herself, she felt nervous when she heard it.

"The marriage decree has just come down. Even if Xiao Rongxuan hates me no matter how much he hates me, he can't be so eager to kill me. What's more, there are secret guards following me secretly."

Chu Huanyan explained with a smile, turning to look at Xiao Jinzhi as she spoke.

However, I found that the latter's eyes were serious and his face was serious...
