After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

The two of them were polite to each other all the way, and finally "truced" when they were about to reach the front hall.

Xiao Jianting asked her about her relationship with Nian Susu, and she said that they were very good friends. In response, he commented: "Miss Li and Miss Nian are different in both their styles and personalities. I didn't expect that they could get along well."

He smiled and said that the fate between people is wonderful.

When they returned to the banquet, the girls had already finished their meal. Li Yaoyuan sat back next to Nian Susu under several curious gazes.

Xiao Jianting returned to the men's area.

Nian Susu asked with concern: "How is it? What did Master Xiao say to you?"

She was always worried.

Li Yaoyuan lowered her voice and told her: "Mr. Xiao apologized to me and asked what our relationship was. I said we were very good friends."

When she said the second sentence, her smile became even brighter, as if this was a recognition of their friendship by others.

"Mr. Xiao is very surprised. It seems like we two don't have anything in common."

Nian Su Su chuckled twice and said, "The fate between people is so wonderful."

"Mr. Xiao also said this."

Nian Su Su: This is even more amazing.

Li Yaoyuan looked up and found that Nian Qiaoyue had gone out. She looked towards Xiao Yunzheng's position and found that she was still there.

She was cautious and reminded Nian Susu: "Miss Nian is out."

Nian Susu nodded and indicated that she would be careful.

Nian Qiaoyue recalled Xiao Yunzheng's words in her mind, went out, turned left, passed through the moon-shaped gate and turned right. After seeing a banyan tree, she walked forward another hundred steps and counted the second room on her left.

She stopped in front of a room.

Because it was a house awarded by the emperor, no one had lived there before. The wood looked very new, and the two pillars in front of the door were painted bright red. The houses in this row looked almost the same.

Nian Qiaoyue didn't think much about it and walked up and knocked on the door.

Hearing hurried footsteps in the room, she subconsciously took a few steps back to keep a safe distance.

The door opened from the inside, and a handsome young man dressed in coarse linen walked out.

She was stunned. How did Xiao Yunzheng find such a handsome guy? Wouldn't that be a bargain for Nian Susu?

He raised his chin towards Nian Qiaoyue and said with disdain, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Nian Qiaoyue was puzzled, "Didn't Miss Xiao tell you?"

"What Miss Xiao?" The man was impatient, picking his ears and then urged: "I don't know any Miss Xiao, I just know that an employer asked me to come here to wait for a girl named Nian, and asked me to follow her arrangements throughout the process."

The man looked Nian Qiaoyue up and down, his eyes sparkling, "Are you Miss Nian?"

After hearing what he said, Nian Qiaoyue felt much more at ease. It was the first time Xiao Yunzheng did such a thing, so it was normal that she didn't make proper arrangements.

"I am a young girl." She nodded in acknowledgement.

"Okay." The man crossed his arms and stood nonchalantly, "Do you want me to kill someone or set a fire?"

Nian Qiaoyue was shocked. Did Xiao Yunzheng hire a killer? It would be impossible to deal with a powerless Nian Susu...

She took a few steps forward and said a few words to the man with her hands covering her mouth.

The man was disdainful, "Is it that simple?"

"Not a penny less in wages!"

Nian Qiaoyue disliked him and didn't want to communicate with him anymore. She just said a few perfunctory words to him and hid at the corner of another entrance to the courtyard.

Where Nian Qiaoyue couldn't see, the man twisted his wrist and gave a playful smile.

In the front hall.

Xiao Yunzheng stood up and left the table, but did not walk out. Instead, she went in the direction of Nian Susu, attracting everyone's puzzled gazes.

"Miss Nian, may I have a word with you?" She looked down at Nian Susu.

Li Yaoyuan secretly pressed her arm under the cover of her wide sleeves, suggesting that she should not go.

Not long after Nian Qiaoyue left, Xiao Yunzheng came to ask her to leave. It was hard not to suspect that the two of them had some conspiracy.

"Don't worry, Miss Nian. This is the Xiao Mansion. If anything happens to you, our Xiao family will not be able to escape responsibility." Xiao Yunzheng's words had hidden meaning.

She groaned in silence.

I don't know if he said this on purpose to lure her out, or if he was trying to be nice to her and show that he would not harm her.

"Miss Xiao, is there anything you can't say here?"

Xiao Yunzheng chuckled and thought: She is quite defensive, no wonder Nian Qiaoyue wants to join forces with me.

She glanced towards the men's section and said, "It has something to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I would like to speak to Miss Nian in private."

Nian Susu was not shaken, but if she didn't go, Xiao Yunzheng would definitely find other ways to take her away.

It would be better for her to go with her under the pretext of being with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If anything happens, Qin Junyu will also be involved. At least she knows that he will not harm her.

She agreed, but Li Yaoyuan disagreed and asked to follow.

Xiao Yunzheng refused and whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, Li Yaoyuan looked confused and unexpectedly did not mention going together again.

The two went out together.

Nian Susu believed that Xiao Yunzheng would not dare to do anything to her.

Without the dozens of different gazes staring at him, Xiao Yunzheng let out a long breath, relaxed, and walked forward with Nian Susu while stretching his muscles.

Sitting there stupidly for half an hour was almost killing her.

She was shaking her arms and pounding her legs, acting as if she was not around, which made Nian Susu wonder if she had forgotten about him.

When they reached the Moon Cave Gate, Xiao Yunzheng suddenly remembered something. She turned around and smiled at the people around her, saying, "Don't worry, follow me. I'll protect you."

Nian Susu curled the corners of her mouth, feeling that these were her lines, the lines she would say to Li Yaoyuan.

It seems that this Miss Xiao regards her as a well-educated, well-mannered, and graceful young lady from the boudoir.

"Miss Xiao, where are we going?"

Xiao Yunzheng told her mysteriously: "There will be something interesting to watch soon."

Nian Susu felt that she was no different from a child, so innocent and straightforward, and she probably wouldn't play any tricks.

Nian Qiaoyue might have made some plan, but Xiao Yunzheng didn't believe it, so she calmed Nian Qiaoyue down and brought her over, worrying that she was scared and trying to comfort her.

As for what Xiao Yunzheng should do, she didn't know.

The two men walked under the big banyan tree and took another hundred steps forward. Suddenly, the view in front of them opened up and a row of brand new rooms appeared before them.

After standing still, Xiao Yunzheng looked around, as if looking for something.

The next second, Nian Qiaoyue came out from the corner and walked over with a smile.

"What a coincidence, Miss Xiao." Nian Qiaoyue said calmly, "Sister, you are here too?"

Nian Su Su nodded indifferently.

Nian Qiaoyue was embarrassed and thought: Why don’t you do it yet?

The flute girl whistled and looked up at the sky, looking as if she had nothing to do with it.

Nian Qiaoyue had no choice but to continue acting, "Sister, are you here to rest? I just went in and checked, the room is clean, do you want to take a nap?"

Nian Susu: “No sleep.”

Xiao Yunzheng tried her best to hold back her laughter, just wanting to see Nian Qiaoyue's helpless look.

Nian Qiaoyue winked at her frantically—Do it! Now!
