The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me
Chapter 224: A roundabout way
Seeing the female guard chasing out, Mu Jin quickly walked to the window, only to see a gorgeous carriage disappearing around the corner in the distance.
Seeing Mu Jin standing by the window thoughtfully, Su Muxue stepped forward and said, "Ajin, did you find anything?"
Mu Jin shook her head, turned around and looked at the killer lying on the ground, and quickly thought about who might attack her.
As Su Yi's fiancée, she appeared in front of aristocratic families many times. It was unlikely that Su Yi's political enemies had her killed.
After all, if a killer who can be Su Yi's political enemy is around him, his martial arts skills must not be too bad. If Su Yi's political enemy wanted to kill her, why would he send someone with such poor skills to attack her?
Unless, the assassination here was just an accidental incident, and someone suddenly had the idea to attack her in a hurry.
Su Muxue walked forward and leaned against Mu Jin, her right hand naturally grabbing her arm, staring at the dead killer on the ground with a little contempt in her eyes.
"Ah Jin, you have just arrived in Nanshu not long ago, how did you get into trouble with these people who want to take your life?"
Mu Jin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and sneered: "Maybe it's your brother's romantic debt outside, and it may involve me!"
Hearing this, Su Muxue looked at Mu Jin with confusion.
Inside the carriage, a maid said to Lin Yueru worriedly, "Princess, we rashly sent someone to kill Mu Jin just now, and now we failed. Will she trace us back? If the young master finds out, I'm afraid he will blame the young lady again."
"What a bunch of losers! They can't even handle a woman. Is it in vain that the Lin family keeps them around?" Lin Yueru was so angry that her face turned blue and she cursed viciously.
"What is there for me to be afraid of? That bitch is dead and there is no evidence. Even if she finds out that I was the one who ordered it, what can she do? Do you think she dares to come to our Lin Mansion and cause trouble for me?"
Today, Lin Yueru took a carriage to the Treasure Pavilion to pick up a set of precious jewelry. During the journey, the autumn wind blew the curtains of the carriage, allowing her to catch a glimpse of Mu Jin and a woman walking into "Xiangmingju".
Lin Yueru immediately had the carriage stopped, called the guards nearby, and ordered them to go to "Xiangmingju" and kill Mu Jin.
After all, ever since Mu Jin came to Nanshu, she not only snatched away her Su Yi, but every time she tried to make things difficult for Mu Jin, she would be scolded by her brother.
Normally, whenever she thought of Mu Jin, she would want to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Now that she had encountered him today, if she let Mu Jin go, then she would not be the Lin Yueru who would avenge her grudges.
What she didn't expect was that two guards who were ordered by her to enter "Xiang Ming Ju" to assassinate Mu Jin, shortly after entering, one of them fled in panic from the roof of "Xiang Ming Ju" like a frightened bird, and behind that guard, there were several female guards following closely.
Seeing this, the maid beside her hurriedly urged the coachman to gallop towards the Lin Mansion. She repeatedly tried to make things difficult for Mu Jin, but all ended in failure, which made Lin Yueru so angry that her face was hideous.
In the evening, several female guards returned to the Princess's Mansion to report.
"Miss Mu, today we followed the killer. In order to avoid our pursuit, he circled Bianliang City for several times. Later, we pretended to lose him but followed him from a distance. When it got dark, the killer entered from the back of the Lin Mansion."
Mu Jin sneered: "It's just as I thought, it's Lin Yueru's man. As expected, a brainless person, the people around her will be as useless as her."
When Su Muxue heard this, she asked Mu Jin with great interest, "Ajin, do you know the person behind the assassin?"
After Mu Jin asked the female guards to leave, he turned to Su Muxue and said, "Of course! Logically speaking, that person is your cousin, right?"
"Cousin?" Su Muxue asked in confusion, "When did this princess have such a vicious cousin?"
Mu Jin picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip, and said slowly: "This person is the granddaughter of your grandfather Emperor Gaozong's eldest sister. Her name is Lin Yueru. According to seniority, when she sees you, she should respectfully call you cousin."
"Then why did she want to kill you?" Su Muxue asked. However, Mu Jin couldn't help but frown and looked displeased.
"It was your brother who had me pretend to be his fiancée in Southern Shu. Lin Yueru is extremely infatuated with your brother. Maybe she ran into me by chance today and wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible."
"It's just that..." Mu Jin sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "She didn't know that I was proficient in martial arts, and she actually thought that she could easily kill me by sending a random man. This time, not only did she fail, but she also lost a guard. With Lin Yueru's temper, she must be furious at this moment."
"So that's how it is." Su Muxue nodded, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and hurriedly approached Mu Jin and asked.
"Ajin, my brother asked you to pretend to be his fiancée in Nanshu?"
Mu Jin saw Su Muxue smiling meaningfully and asked her, she nodded "yes" with an unnatural look on her face.
Su Muxue said with a smile on her face: "My brother has become smart this time. He actually knows how to use roundabout methods. On the surface, he wants you to pretend to be his fiancée, but in fact~"
Su Muxue chuckled twice, the meaning of her words was self-evident.
Mu Jin pretended not to understand and continued to take a sip of the teacup. However, Su Muxue obviously did not intend to let her go.
"Ajin, my brother is so good to you, have you ever been moved by him?"
When Mu Jin heard Su Muxue ask this, her eyes froze. Thinking of everything Su Yi had done for her, she couldn't help but lower her head to hide her inner thoughts.
At this time, her father and brother were suffering in East Vietnam. How could she take her personal feelings into consideration?
"no!"
"No? Are you still thinking about your little guard?" Su Muxue asked.
Mu Jin remained calm and said, "The relationship between your brother and I is just a cooperative one. His kindness to me and our pretending to be affectionate with him in front of outsiders are all just a deal between him and me."
When Su Muxue heard that Mu Jin actually regarded Su Yi's kindness to her as a transaction, she hurriedly defended Su Yi and said, "That's not the case, Ajin. How can my brother's kindness to you be measured by a transaction?"
"Although there are rumors that he likes to have fun, I never believe them. He would smile at other women, but that smile was emotionless. However, his smile to you was warm and doting, full of love."
"Okay, Princess, let's not talk about this anymore." Mu Jin interrupted Su Muxue and continued, "Right now, I don't want to talk about personal feelings."
"But..." Su Muxue wanted to continue to explain, but saw Su Yi, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, walking in from the door.
