When Xiao Mufeng stayed at the inn, people kept coming to disturb him, people trying to establish relationships, and people seeking information. He was almost going crazy with the interruptions. He told his men to find a secluded place to live as soon as possible because he wanted to move out.

And rumors broke out again, saying that he came this time to kill Jiang Xuening.

The reason is because Jiang Xuening is Gu Mingyue's cousin.

This rumor directly detonated the entire Qingzhou, and many people imagined love and hate.

"Tsk, tsk, why did the young master of the Xiao family want to kill the princess?"

"You don't understand this, right? I heard that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family and Princess Chen were close friends, but once Princess Chen died, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family became the queen."

"Tsk, tsk, it can't be a drama about two girls competing for who will be..."

"But what does this have to do with the princess?"

"The Gu family are all dead, but Princess Mingyue has half the blood of the Gu family..."

……

Xiao Mufeng listened to the discussion at the next table and couldn't help but want to draw his sword. These untouchables dare to talk about the Xiao family and his sister!

Qingzhu took the risk and held down his hand, "Master, don't get excited."

This rumor spread through the streets at a flying speed. The love-hate relationship between a high-ranking daughter and the emperor, coupled with the bloody drama of fighting for love, instantly ignited everyone's gossip.

Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so if they discuss it, nothing will happen. For a while, people in restaurants and teahouses, as well as aunts in their decades, were all discussing this matter.

As for the Aristocratic Family, they thought more and deeper.

While Xiao Mufeng was completely irritated, his heart also collapsed, "What is she going to do!"

The Xiao family wanted her to die, and at the same time, this was a secret that the Xiao family must never see the light of.

She just revealed everything without caring about it. Xiao Mufeng couldn't help but feel a headache. If this news reached Beijing, it would be a fatal blow to Empress Xiao.

He knows better than anyone how Queen Xiao came to power. If the emperor knew that they had such hostility towards the Gu family's bloodline, the queen's situation would be very bad.

Xiao Mufeng suppressed the anger in his heart, "Now that things have happened, we must not take action against her. Once something happens to her, this rumor will only be confirmed."

Xiao Mufeng was unwilling, but he had to stop. At least nothing could happen to Jiang Xuening while he was in Qingzhou.

The rumors became more and more intense, that he and the Shen family teamed up to deal with Jiang Xuening, and that Jiang Xuening was poisoned and unconscious, and it was him.

Just like this, the day of Mrs. Shen's funeral came.

Mr. Shen's wife's age and seniority are there, and the Shen family has been at the center of the whirlpool recently. The funeral was extremely grand, with all the major families gathering together.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mufeng, who had always refused to meet people, also came.

He offered three sticks of incense to the old lady and said, "My condolences."

The rumors were so powerful that he had to come forward to clarify them. These aristocratic families all had connections in the capital. If he left it alone, the news would spread back to the capital sooner or later.

After he finished lighting the incense, he stood aside and exuded the aura of keeping strangers away from him.

The atmosphere was strange when Lin Fu arrived, followed by Concubine Zuo and Jiang Xuening, who was rumored to be unconscious.

Jiang Xuening was dressed in white and looked like she was recovering from a serious illness.

Concubine Zuo Zuo and Lin Fu lit incense according to the rules and comforted the Shen family.

Jiang Xuening stood in front of the coffin and said with clear eyes, "The old lady insisted on seeing me before she died. Now that I'm here, what do you have to say?"

No one from the Shen family answered the question. How dare they say anything now.

Whatever they dare to do to her is to confirm the rumor that they are teaming up with Xiao Mufeng to deal with her.

Her move was so beautiful that she could turn her hand into clouds and her hand into rain, instantly turning the situation around.

Shen Shiyan took a step forward and said, "They say death is like a lamp going out. My grandmother has passed away. Please let her rest in peace, Princess."

Jiang Xuening smiled weakly, "Is that so? If I didn't come here a few days ago, the Shen family would have liked to have been hanged in the palace. Those who don't know would have thought that I had done something to her..."

Shen Shiyan said coldly, "Princess, please be kind to me."

Jiang Xueer took a step forward, raised her head and looked at him with sarcasm in her eyes, "People say that the Shen family deliberately wants to kill me, is it true?"

Veins popped up on Shen Shiyan's forehead. He didn't expect that she would dare to question him face to face at the funeral.

"This is a funeral. The princess said this is inappropriate."

Jiang Xuening smiled slightly, "When the Shen family makes things difficult for me, there is no time or place. Why should I give face to the person who wants to kill me!"

Shen Shiyan held his hand firmly, "The Shen family never meant this. Please don't misunderstand, Princess."

Jiang Xuening turned around and looked at Xiao Mufeng, "The Shen family doesn't mean that. Does the second young master do?"

Everyone looked at Xiao Mufeng, whose expression remained unchanged, "Of course not. Why am I here to visit the teacher and study abroad."

What he urgently inquired about was that a great scholar happened to be in Qingzhou, which just became his excuse.

Jiang Xuening chuckled, "If you all say that, I'll be relieved. After all, things have been happening to me since the second young master came. I'm worried that the second young master won't leave until I die..."

Xiao Mufeng had no choice but to follow her words and said, "The princess is worrying too much. I am also troubled by such rumors and am ready to leave Qingzhou as soon as possible."

Jiang Xue stared at him with deep eyes, "Then please, Second Young Master, help me say hello to Sister Xiao, and I will visit her in the palace when I return to Beijing."

As Jiang Xuening spoke, she touched her eyes with her hands and said deliberately, "The last time I saw His Majesty, Your Majesty said that my eyes resemble those of my elder sister. Sister Xiao has such a good relationship with her, she must be very happy to see me. .”

This sentence revealed so much information that many old foxes looked at her with different eyes. Being told by the emperor that she looked like Princess Chen might be an opportunity or a disaster.

It seems that they should be very cautious in their attitude towards her in the future.

Xiao Mufeng's expression changed slightly, and he said in a cold voice, "I will definitely bring the message to you. I hope the princess will come to Beijing as soon as possible."

When she enters Beijing, it will be the day of her death.

Jiang Xuening's smile didn't reach her eyes, "Then I wish you a safe journey in advance."

After all, Xiao Mufeng was so upset that he spent so much effort without killing her. "Didn't you say that the princess was poisoned by a strange poison? It's just the right time."

Jiang Xuening chuckled, "The imperial doctor made a wrong diagnosis. The poison he suffered was not a strange poison, but someone with similar symptoms, and the poison has been detoxified."

Xiao Mufeng said coldly, "Princess Princess, please be careful. If you get poisoned next time, you won't be so lucky."

"Oh, as long as the young master doesn't come for me as the rumors say, I will definitely live a long life."

Having said all that needed to be said, Jiang Xuening left the mourning hall with floating steps.

All she wanted was a word. Since Xiao Mufeng said he wanted to leave in public, her goal had been achieved.

As soon as she left, Xiao Mufeng also left.
