On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

Think of this.

Ji Lan Shuang seemed to have made a great decision.

"Madame Deng."

"lady."

"Go and see if the young lady is at home and ask her to come and see me."

Nanny Deng didn't understand what was going on, so she just lowered her head and left obediently.

Ji Lan was left sitting on the main seat with a serious look on her face: she hoped things were not as she thought.

...

The other end.

After Mu Xiaoxiao forced Ji Lanshuang into a job, the first thing she wanted to do was tell Rong Xian the news.

It just so happened that Rong Xian had just finished his chance encounter with Su Sui'an, and he hadn't even changed out of his clothes which were stained with morning dew.

"You ran out to steal food early in the morning?"

When she got close to Rong Xian, she could smell the smell of roasted chicken. Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have discovered some great secret. "You're eating roasted chicken? Don't you always dislike these greasy things?"

Rong Xian didn't know why Mu Xiaoxiao appeared so suddenly at first.

However, when he saw the bulging pockets in Mu Xiaoxiao's sleeves, he roughly knew what was going on.

"What's that in your sleeve pocket?"

This is exactly what Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to find Rong Xian and share immediately.

Seeing Rong Xian speaking himself, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately became calm. She sat down and poured herself a glass of cold water, took a sip gracefully, and then slowly explained to Rong Xian.

"Son, let me help you deal with your mother-in-law."

An ominous premonition came to his mind, Rong Xian's face darkened, and the look he gave Mu Xiaoxiao became more scrutinizing.

"what happened?"

Mu Xiaoxiao is usually carefree, but when her son looks gloomy, she still feels inexplicably guilty.

The so-called blood suppression is of no use to her.

"Don't look at me like that. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

As if to give Rongxian confidence and also to herself, she put down the teacup in her hand, walked to Rongxian and wanted to pat her son on the shoulder.

Unfortunately, before he could get close, Rong Xian dodged by slightly turning sideways.

A pair of sparkling eyes slowly narrowed, "Have you taken out all the deeds?"

The question was asked in the form of a question, but the tone was affirmative.

The clue was discovered at once, and Mu Xiaoxiao immediately put her hands behind her back, not knowing where to put them.

"Son, I can't hide anything from you."

Rong Xian took a deep breath and tried to calm his tone, "You also showed the deed to Madam Su?"

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, "Son, you are so smart, let me tell you..."

Rong Xian took a lot of effort to suppress the urge to scold Mu Xiaoxiao.

He spoke each word with great pause, almost squeezing it out through his teeth. "Do you know where your land title is?"

"Yancheng, what's wrong?" Mu Xiaoxiao blinked.

what happened?

She also asked him what was wrong?

Rong Xian looked at the sky in silence again.

The fist in his hand clenched and unclenched, loosened and clenched again.

"Didn't you tell Xiao Qizi that the girl couldn't marry into Duke Gu's mansion?" Mu Xiaoxiao still looked confused.

Soon, she reacted, "Don't worry, I have a legitimate reason to do this, and I pulled Xiao Qizi out as well."

Rong Xian's fist clenched so hard that his brother clenched his fist: ....

He shouldn't have let that big mouth Murong Qi have any contact with her.

"Once a lie is told, there will be countless lies to cover it up. In the end, the lies will only grow bigger like a snowball until they hit bottom and bury the person alive."

"Then I'll turn around..."

"You don't have to do anything when you come back. I'll have someone take care of it."

Before Mu Xiaoxiao could finish her words, Rong Xian interrupted her.

"Give all the land deeds to Yi Zhi and send them back to his house now."

"I just took a little..."

Seeing Rong Xian's face getting gloomier, she immediately changed her tone, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Not only the land deed, but anything that appears in my hands and is not in line with my current identity as 'Sister Rong', I will take it back to Yi Zhi. I'll take it all back. Is that okay?"

After getting Ji Lanshuang's assurance, Rong Xian's expression slowly eased.

"Don't act on your own about what happens next. I'll ask for your help when I need you."

After saying that, he called out to the darkness, "Ye Luan."

A tall, upright figure emerged from the darkness.

"Your subordinate Ye Luan greets the princess and the prince."

"You and Nightingale should protect the princess and don't let her do anything that would expose her identity at any time. Otherwise, you should know what your fate will be."

His voice seemed to be stained with frost, and every word he uttered was filled with murderous intent. Ye Luan's body trembled slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to respond.

Knowing that she had done something wrong, Mu Xiaoxiao rarely refuted Rong Xian's arrangement.

After Ye Luan left, she also left dejectedly.

Looking at Mu Xiaoxiao's disappointed back as she left, Rong Xian sighed helplessly and called Yi Zhi, "Send Jia Ying and Ding Ying to assist Ye Luan and Ye Ying, and don't let her cause any more trouble."

After Yi Zhi responded to Rong Xian's words, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Rong Xian and said hesitantly, "When I came here just now, I found two servants looking at us stealthily. Do you need me to take care of them?"

A sneaky servant?

Rong Xian's mind immediately emerged with Su Sui'an's hesitant look as if he wanted to say something before he left.

The coldness in his brows disappeared, and even his voice was tinged with a barely perceptible gentleness. "Send someone to keep an eye on them, and don't let them know anything they shouldn't know."

"Yes."

Not long after Yi Zhi withdrew, another soldier from Prince Dingbei's palace disguised as a servant came hurriedly to report the news.

"Master, the Ninth Prince said he would come to see you around 12:00 tonight."

If the servant hadn't mentioned it, Rong Xian would have almost forgotten that he had asked Murong Qi to come see him in two days.

night...

Rong Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, "He does know how to pick the time."

It just so happens that the two servants mentioned by Yi Zhi can also be put to use.
