"Don't be afraid, Mr. Xiao."

Zhao Qianqian shouted at the man in black, "How dare you commit murder in broad daylight! I've sent someone to report to the Jingzhao Yin, you little bastards, leave now!"

"She's reported it to the police, hurry up and leave!"

The man in black seemed to be frightened and immediately put away his sword and fled.

"Miss Zhao, thank you for saving my life."

Xiao Huaijin's clothes were soaked. He steadied his weak legs and bowed to her. "Tomorrow, I will bring a generous gift to your house to thank you."

"Master Xiao, if the bandits knew that I had just tricked them, they would definitely come back again." She pointed to the luxurious carriage at the entrance of the alley, "My carriage is there, why don't I take you back home."

"Thank you very much, girl."

Xiao Huaijin's eyes were full of gratitude.

The four shiny machetes almost scared him to death, but now he didn't care about the distinction between men and women and followed Zhao Qianqian into his carriage.

"Pfft!"

After the carriage left, Bai Youyou couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Pfft!"

Another laugh was heard behind them. Lu Chen and Bai Youyou turned around suddenly, and their hearts suddenly jumped into their throats.

"The idle prince. Prince Jiang."

After Lu Chen quickly bowed, he pulled Bai Youyou's sleeve.

Bai Youyou followed suit and performed a deformed salute.

The two young men in front of him were both extremely handsome, especially the man in white wearing fox fur. Under his sword-like eyebrows, his eyes were shining.

When Lu Huaizhen saw her looking at him, he nodded slightly at her and curved his lips to reveal a faint smile.

hiss!

It is really as the book says: Standing like a jade tree and smiling like the bright moon in one's arms.

Bai Youyou sighed, no wonder the book said that the Seventeenth Prince was ranked first on the list of handsome men in Kyoto, he really deserved the title.

"Cough cough..."

Prince Lu Huaizhen covered his mouth and coughed for a while before saying that there was no need to be polite.

"Seventeenth Uncle, didn't we just see a wonderful show?"

Jiang Tingxiao, the second son of the Earl of Weining, crossed his arms, tapped his arms with his fingers, and smiled wickedly, "When the hero was in danger, the beauty fell from the sky and saved the hero who was about to die under the knife. Then the hero returned the favor and promised to marry her."

Bai Youyou and Lu Chen's faces turned paler every time they heard a word he said.

It is true that if you don't want others to know, you better not do it yourself. I still think too highly of myself.

However, it was impossible to get them to admit it. Bai Youyou looked up at him and said, "Prince Jiang's words are well written. If it is published as a book, it will definitely sell well."

"What happened just now——"

Jiang Tingxiao raised his chin towards the end of the alley, "We saw everything from beginning to end. Miss Bai Si is trying to quibble?"

"Human evidence? Physical evidence?" Bai Youyou shrugged. "Do you have any?"

Jiang Tingxiao paused, tapping his arm with his fingers. After a moment, he raised his lips and smiled, "Really not."

Bai Youyou replied calmly with "Oh", and her just tense back immediately relaxed.

Lu Chen finally put the worry in his heart back into his stomach.

There is no evidence, and it is just empty talk. Even if the people in the Prime Minister's Office dare to believe it, they dare not report it to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Cough cough..."

Lu Huaizhen kept coughing, and an abnormal blush instantly appeared on his fair face.

Bai Youyou felt bad for him when she heard him coughing as if his lungs were about to burst.

Prince Xian is the late emperor’s posthumous son and the current emperor’s youngest brother, ranking seventeenth.

The book focuses on the male protagonist, the crown prince, and pays less attention to the frail imperial uncle who has only good looks but no real power.

She had completely forgotten about this supporting role that she didn't know which round it would be in.

But looking at his appearance, I think he will have a short life.

"It is the coldest when the ice and snow melt. Prince Xian is not in good health, so it is better not to stay outside for too long."

Seeing how pleasing the eyes were, Bai Youyou casually expressed her concern and hoped that they would leave the crime scene as soon as possible.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Bai. It's just an old ailment, nothing serious."

There was a smile in Lu Huaizhen's sparkling eyes, and his voice was deep and pleasant, with an indescribable magnetism.

"It's getting late. My cousin and I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

Having done something bad and being caught red-handed, Bai Youyou had no mood to talk. After saluting, he pulled Lu Chen and quickly fled from the crime scene.

Jiang Tingxiao and Lu Huaizhen couldn't help laughing as they watched the cousins ​​fleeing.

"After meeting Bai Youyou today, I don't think she is as domineering and stupid as the rumors say."

Lu Huaizhen's handsome jaw tightened, and he said calmly: "Sometimes what you see with your own eyes is not true, not to mention that it is a rumor spread by someone unknown."

Jiang Tingxiao nodded, "That's right."

After a moment, his lips curled up and revealed a wicked smile, "Do you think you should sell this news to that old fox, Prime Minister Xiao?"

"Even if he knows, so what? He doesn't have the courage to question the people in the Zhenguo Mansion. Besides," Lu Huaizhen gathered the cloak on his shoulders, thinking of Bai Youyou's previous words, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Catch the adulterer and the couple, catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, can he find evidence?"

"I'm afraid Xiao Huaijin would never guess in his dreams that this is a trap set up for him by Miss Zhao and Bai Youyou, hahahaha..."

Jiang Tingxiao laughed, then became puzzled again, "What kind of vision do these young ladies from official families have? They all like a hypocritical person like Xiao Huaijin, and even set up a trap to win his favor. I really don't understand."

"Haha, you need to figure it out. Do you also want to be schemed against like Xiao Huaijin?"

"I don't want to."

Jiang Tingxiao thought of a time when he was carefully framed by someone and was grateful to that person as his savior, and he suddenly felt a chill.

Whoever wants to be sold out and then count money for others can do it, but he doesn't want it!

"Walk, walk, walk. The weather is cold. Warm up with a bottle of wine."

Lu Huaizhen glanced at him, turned around and walked back the way he came.

When there were people around, he would cover his mouth and cough continuously.

The thick snow on the ground gradually melted under the sunlight, and the streets became muddy and dirty.

Xiaoju and Tianqi were waiting in another alley on the street. When they saw Lu Chen and Bai Youyou, their eyes lit up and they trotted over.

Lu Chen asked in a low voice: "Is everyone back?"

Tianqi glanced at the wide carriage and said, "Everything is in the carriage."

Lu Chen and Bai Youyou both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandma has been talking about you and Auntie for a few days. How about I come and take you back home to stay for a few days tomorrow?"

Bai Youyou remembered that she would have to pretend to be cool and get slapped in the face later, so she politely declined.

"Wait a couple of days. I have things to do these days. When I finish what I have to do, I will go back home with my mother to visit my grandmother."

"Then can you go home now?"

"I want to go to Wanbaolou to buy something."

Just now, when she was walking along the road, she saw a jewelry store. Bai Youyou held the silver ingot in her purse and wanted to use the little monthly salary she had left to buy a pearl flower for Lu.
