Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

"Just tell me what you want, as long as you don't plot against me in this way."

Looking at the face in front of him with a sinister smile, Marquis Anping felt regret for the first time.

He then loosened his restraints and prepared to leave.

Jin, who fell to the ground, sneered twice: "If you really turn against me, please remember not to blame others for taking the same revenge!"

She stopped and said in disbelief, "Do you think you can threaten me? Even if you are the Prime Minister's wife, spreading such rumors outside will ruin your reputation."

"That's why I came to have a good chat with you."

He stood up and rubbed his injured arm, still smiling. "If the Marquis can allow the concubine to marry, the rumors will naturally dissipate. At worst, they can say that she is incompetent and took the initiative to seduce him. This approach will not harm the Marquis's mansion and will avoid a lose-lose situation. Why not do it?"

He clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging in anger, but in the end, he could only reluctantly agree: "Forget it, forget it. Let me consider today's events as compensation for you. From now on, we owe each other nothing, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"Thank you for your kindness, my Lord."

"Keep it for yourself and don't let others see it."

Marquis Anping opened the door and left angrily.

After leaving the courtyard, he immediately asked, "Butler, has Shen Muxue, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, arrived?"

The general manager said: "They have already arrived and have sent people to look for the Marquis."

Marquis Anping nodded.

He couldn't help but glance back in the direction of the main house, a hint of melancholy flashing across his eyes.

The situation on the other side is more difficult.

The whole situation could not be calmed down in the end.

Because she urgently needed to go to the toilet, Shen Muxue had to leave the room.

The moment she pushed open the door, everyone present immediately looked in that direction.

Seeing this, a smug sneer appeared on Shen Leyao's face, and she believed that under this situation, there was no room for recovery between Ling Fan and Shen Muxue.

And at this moment, Shen Muxue happened to witness a fierce quarrel.

Ling Fan was arguing with someone in a panic. Beside him, Shen Miaoer, who was wearing disheveled clothes, was crying non-stop and looked extremely helpless.

However, Shen Muxue just glanced at him and then looked away, continuing to move forward as if she was completely unconcerned with the turmoil in the outside world.

Ling Fan's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes revealed an unprecedented panic, a tension that he had never shown even in front of countless onlookers.

He said anxiously: "Mu Xue, if you have been drinking tea next to me, you should know what happened. From the moment I stepped through the threshold, I was entangled by Shen Miao'er and kept resisting and struggling. You should be able to hear me scolding her. I don't understand why she appeared here. I swear I didn't touch her."

He looked at the beauty in front of him with full of expectation, fearing that she would misunderstand him.

The people around also looked over, after all, everyone knew that Shen Muxue had changed her mind at Ling Fan's wedding and caused Shen Leyao to lose face.

They were all curious about how the old acquaintances would get along now.

Is it because of the old love that is hard to let go?

Or is your heart filled with resentment?

However, the final answer made them a little disappointed.

Shen Muxue smiled and said, "I'm so sorry. I was taking a nap just now and didn't hear the details. It seems I can't testify for you. The prince is a playboy, and it's hard for me to judge your true character. Since this matter has nothing to do with me, I'd better leave first."

After saying this, he nodded slightly to everyone as a polite farewell, and then slowly left the scene.

Even though Ling Fan called out her name loudly several times later, there was no response.

Seeing this, Shen Leyao finally felt relieved.

No one knew that just a few minutes ago she was worried that Shen Muxue would interfere in this troublesome matter.

The onlookers sensed another meaning in Shen Muxue's words and began to laugh at the current behavior of this man who was once betrothed to Shen Muxue but was also pursuing Shen Leyao - typical male nature, he gets bored with the old and loves the new.

When she returned to the yard, she happened to meet the housekeeper who came to greet her.

At this time, Marquis Anping had been waiting in the guest room for a long time.

Seeing her coming, he ordered his men to serve her the best tea for her to taste.

But Shen Muxue had already drunk enough and was not interested. She went straight to the point and said, "My Lord, please forgive me for being so direct. Could you please elaborate on the conditions under which you agreed to help me?"

After hearing this, Marquis Anping waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

To prevent the secret from being leaked, he even closed the doors and windows. Then he confessed, "To tell you the truth, Luo is my wife, and she's also your mother's childhood friend. We both became pregnant around the same time, and we agreed that if the baby was a daughter, we'd become in-laws. If it was a son, we'd become sworn brothers. If it was a boy and a girl, we'd arrange a marriage and become a future couple."

"Later, I learned that your mother and father had always had a difficult relationship. Even during her pregnancy, she had begun an extramarital affair with that Jin woman. She was the daughter of a duke, and unwilling to be a concubine, she constantly provoked and harassed your biological mother. Fortunately, she was naturally indifferent and calm, and ignored these attacks." "Until the day she was about to give birth..."

Shen Muxue's heart was always tense. Hearing this, she gripped the edge of the chair and asked in a deep voice, "What happened that day?"

"That day, she and Luo Shi went to the temple to pray for blessings when they were suddenly caught in a rare rainstorm. Trapped in the temple, they were unexpectedly attacked by assassins at night. Your mother and Luo Shi were so frightened that they gave birth prematurely. Your mother's premature delivery was extremely painful. After two days and one night, she gave birth to you, but she died from excessive blood loss. Luo Shi also suffered from a chronic illness and has been weak ever since."

Shen Muxue's fingers clasped the armrest tightly, and her nails broke with a crisp sound.

She felt no pain, but stared intently at the Marquis of Anping and asked, "Does the Marquis know who ordered the assassin?"

Marquis Anping said, "Afterwards, I sent my men to track down the assassin and eventually found his hiding place. Unfortunately, during the capture, the assassin committed suicide by poisoning himself. This was the only thing we found on his body."

Marquis Anping took out a wooden box from his arms and opened it.

Inside the box was a black iron token with the number "Seven" engraved on the front and an exquisitely carved Qilin pattern on the back.

Kirin!

Shen Muxue took the token and looked at it carefully.

The token has a dull luster and has obviously been preserved for many years.

This emblem is identical to the one carried by the previously captured assassin.

If the King of Chu was behind this, everything would be explainable.

At that time, Jin was still an unmarried girl. How could she have the ability to hire a killer to commit a crime?

Not to mention hiding their crimes.

The most logical thing to do was to seek help from his sister who had become a concubine of the Prince of Chu.

After murdering Han Qinglian, she could marry into the Shen family smoothly and become the wife of the prime minister in broad daylight.
