The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 22 The Untouchable Prince Consort

The next morning, Lin Shanjuan did not stay in bed for the first time. The nanny she had met yesterday had really persecuted her, so her dreams all night were filled with the nanny's wrinkles and chattering mouth.

She dreamed of four mouths opening and closing right in front of her eyes, which frightened her so much that she lost all sleepiness.

Looking at the plain curtains, Lin Shan rubbed his forehead and simply got up to go for a morning run.

She has always had the habit of exercising in the morning, but the situation has been complicated recently, so she has not had time to do it.

After all, I drank a little too much last night, and I felt a little dizzy when I stood up suddenly. When I passed by the tables and chairs, I knocked over two of them.

She took a look and was too lazy to help. She packed her clothes as she walked towards the back garden.

In the early morning light, the housekeeper came as punctually as an office worker. After breakfast, the four of them came to Lin Shanjuan's house together. They saw only a mess on the floor and no one was there. They were immediately panicked.

Lin Shanjuan had just sat quietly in the pavilion for a while when he heard shouts of "The Prince Consort has been abducted."

She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, sighing: This princess's mansion is really not peaceful. There was an attempted poisoning last night, and this morning the prince consort was kidnapped...

?

That’s not right. I am the prince consort.

What are these people shouting about? If they knew that a killer like me had been kidnapped, would I still have any dignity left?

The corners of her mouth twitched, and when she ran to the side hall, she met the maid who wanted to find Xihe to report.

The maid was so focused on running that she didn't expect a person to suddenly appear in front of her, and the two of them collided hard again.

Lin Shanjuan covered his chest and complained helplessly, "How could everyone in this place be so reckless! Can't they see such a grown-up person?"

When she looked up and saw the maid opposite her——

Well, only this girl is reckless.

"Why are you running? Why are you so anxious because I lost it?"

The maid looked up in surprise, and when she saw Lin Shanjuan, a blush suddenly appeared on her face.

Then she crawled up to her knees, her voice intermittent: "Prince-in-law, Prince-in-law, please spare my life!"

Lin Shanjuan sighed helplessly. She really couldn't be angry with a girl of fifteen or sixteen.

She bent down, took the maid's arm and helped her up, "It's not that serious. Don't be so reckless next time."

Perhaps it was because her gentleness was so different from that of other masters, the maid was stunned: she bumped into someone twice, and not only did she forgive him, she also helped her up herself.

Moved by this, tears immediately fell from his eyes, and Lin Shanjuan was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand.

"Why are you crying? Did I hurt you?"

My chest still hurts! I'm too embarrassed to say it!

The maid Ziwei shook her head, "No, no, no! It's because the Prince Consort is kind and beautiful. I am touched!"

Lin Shanjuan: ...

"No, no... you were crying, and I didn't even know you were thanking me."

As soon as Xihe got up, he heard people outside shouting that the prince consort had been kidnapped, and he was confused.

Didn't Yue Liu say he killed the assassin last night? Could it be that another group of assassins went there?

She packed up hurriedly and when she turned a corner and arrived at Lin Shanjuan's side hall, she just saw Lin Shanjuan and the maid arguing with each other.

The maid's eyes were red and she seemed shy, while Lin Shanjuan crossed his arms and tried to make her happy.

In modern times, this wouldn’t matter much, but now Lin Shanjuan is the princess’s consort, and now everyone in the princess’s mansion knows that she is the princess’s lover. In a few days, everyone in the world will know that she is the princess’s lover.

Even though she is a woman, her "teasing" is a bit too unrestrained, or to put it bluntly, it is outrageous.

Yue Liu wanted to step forward and call out to the two of them, but Xihe signaled her to step back with his eyes.

She also wanted to see what more tender and considerate actions this man could perform.

She is very tactful in front of me, even when acting, she only pinches some clothes. If it weren't for my temptation, she would not be willing to marry me.

Wouldn't this be followed by sweet talk in front of others?

Lin Shanjuan was still telling some jokes, completely unaware that Xihe was not far away from her. She was just saying, "Mantou got hungry while walking and ate himself," when Bai Shu ran over in a panic.

The two looked at each other with relieved expressions.

Lin Shanjuan: This kid is so sweet, come and save me.

Bai Shu: Fortunately, it wasn’t lost!

Bai Shu stopped panting, thinking this and saying it out loud: "Fortunately, fortunately, I thought you were really captured!"

After he said that, he noticed the maid wiping her tears in panic.

"What... happened?"

Lin Shanjuan shook his head helplessly and lowered his voice, "Hurry up and comfort her. I just helped her and she was moved to tears!"

In her previous life, she didn't have time to help the old lady cross the street, so she didn't understand Xiao'er's point at all.

Bai Shu looked around, scratched his head for a long time, then put on a smile and comforted her in a very half-hearted way: "Little girl, don't cry anymore."

Lin Shanjuan: ...

I have high hopes for you, and this is all you have?

She looked at Bai Shu with disdain. If she didn't know his background, she even thought that Bai Shu would say something like "Uncle will take you to find your mother."

The maidservant stopped talking, bowed to the two of them, and ran away quickly.

Seeing this, Bai Shu asked about the matter: "Weren't you still learning etiquette yesterday? How did you get kidnapped?"

Lin Shanjuan frowned and sighed deeply. He felt a sense of emptiness when he thought that he would be forced to give lectures by those old women today.

She was about to pour out her bitter tears when a familiar laugh suddenly stopped her.

"Oh! The Prince Consort is here! It's easy for us old servants to find him! Come with us quickly, we have a few important things to tell the Prince Consort!"

Lin Shanjuan's mouth twitched, "I feel like I'd rather be kidnapped now."

Bai Shu was horrified and stepped forward to cover her mouth, but she gave him a disgusted look.

Bai Shu had no choice but to withdraw his hand and glanced around cautiously, "This is the princess's mansion, how can we allow bad guys to come and go? You're so quiet..."

He suddenly fell silent like a duck with its neck strangled. Lin Shanjuan looked at him in a daze for a moment and followed his gaze.

Then, she saw Xihe with a smile on his face, but this smile made her feel a little cold.

Because she was now whispering in Bai Shu's ear, they were very close and looked very intimate, even closer than the distance between her and Xiao'er.

God knows she only treats Bai Shu as a sister, but Ke Xihe doesn't know.

She originally thought that Xiao'er was already a manifestation of Lin Shanjuan's lack of tact, but she didn't expect that she could be even more out of control!

If the servants saw this, they would probably accuse her of "breaking up a couple in love" so she couldn't help herself and came out to interrupt.

Bai Shu trembled with fear. Adhering to the idea that "brothers are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when they meet Xihe", he gave Lin Shanjuan a look that said "I wish you all the best" and ran away like a flash.
