Jiang Xue's barrage of questions left Qi Hou with no way to refute, and he could only passively accept the criticism.

This little girl's eloquence is really amazing. Qi Hou has hit a wall today.

Qi Hou, who was suppressed by his junior Jiang Xue, was so angry that his face turned purple, his chest heaving violently, and he slammed the dining table, making the dishes and chopsticks on the table rattle.

"I am only trying to help others achieve their goals. Why are you so vicious? If Master Huaichen had not been interested in Lian'er, why would he have helped her? The matter of marrying a wife is naturally not up to me.

But as long as Master Huaichen and Lian'er are interested, I can help ask the Crown Prince and the Emperor for permission to make this marriage happen. I have good intentions, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood by you, a little girl. How can I not feel sad? "

"Oh? Helping others to achieve their goals?" Jiang Xue smiled slightly and looked down at Lian'er: "So, Miss Lian'er, you are determined to enter this young master's mansion?"

Lian'er looked at Jiang Chen with a pitiful look on her face: "Sir, your great kindness will be remembered in my heart. I sincerely want to repay you. Please accept Lian'er's kindness. I swear that I will serve you well for the rest of my life."

"Master Huaichen, such a good woman is someone that even I cannot bear to reject. Do you really want to reject all her kindness?" Marquis Qi looked at Jiang Chen and said.

"There are many ways to repay a favor, not just by giving yourself to him." Jiang Xue interrupted Marquis Qi and raised her lips slightly, "Miss Lian'er, let me ask you, if Mr. Huaichen was not so handsome, but was very ugly, would you still insist on giving yourself to him?"

"I..." Lian'er was speechless for a moment.

"I might as well tell you that Young Master Huaichen has a very strong fate. The woman who is engaged to him needs to be disfigured to offset the impact of his fate. My face was disfigured for this reason. If you insist on coming to the mansion to serve, I'm afraid your beautiful face will also be disfigured. Are you willing to do that?"

After giving a wink, several servants came forward to grab Lian'er. Jiang Xue took out a small knife from somewhere and slowly approached the pretty little face.

Looking at the sharp blade getting closer and closer, Lian'er was so scared that she dared not move.

Cold sweat trickled down her temples. Unable to bear the fear, she cried out, "No, I won't repay you, I won't give myself to you, don't scratch my face, please don't."

Seeing her break down and cry, Jiang Xue put away the knife and looked up to signal the servant to let her go.

As soon as the servants let go of her, Lian'er fell to the ground exhausted and trembling.

"Lord Qi, you heard Miss Lian'er's feelings just now. It seems that this young master's mansion is not for her. Seeing that she is so scared, I will trouble you to take the trouble to send her back."

Qi Hou looked at Lian'er, feeling angry, "Master Huaichen, sorry for disturbing you!"

"No thanks." Jiang Chen said coldly.

"Junior sister, you are going to become famous." Si Ruochen said with a smile.

This Marquis Qi is famous for his narrow-mindedness. Today Jiang Xue ruined his plan and made him lose face. How could he let her go easily?

I'm afraid that tomorrow, rumors will spread in the streets and alleys of Huyin City that Master Huaichen's fiancée is jealous and has bad morals.

"That's all thanks to you, senior brother." Jiang Xue glanced at him helplessly. It was he who said that she was his brother's fiancée.

"I can't think of a better excuse than this identity." Si Ruochen smiled, turned around and saw Jiang Chen looking at him with the same eyes, blinked innocently: "Do you want me to tell you Xiaoxue's true identity?"

Jiang Chen knew that he also had his considerations, and this statement was the most reasonable explanation.

It's just that they felt a little unnatural when the brother and sister announced to the public that they were an engaged couple.

"Forget it, there's nothing I can do about it." If it weren't for this identity, Xiaoxue probably wouldn't be able to stay in the young master's mansion as a matter of course.

Late at night, in an inn in Huyin City, the waiter respectfully brought midnight snacks and sake and returned to the counter.

The shopkeeper saw him coming back and asked carefully: "How is it? Did you tell me why you came here?"

This inn is located in the center of Huyin City, covering a vast area. It is the largest and most luxurious inn in Beixi.

Its ownership is a mystery. It is said that it was invested and built by foreign businessmen. The shopkeeper and the waiters have been working here for decades. Unlike other inns where the staff are frequently replaced, the waiters here have been working here for decades.

They are all spies of Linglong Pavilion, and this inn is the base of Linglong Pavilion in Huyin City.

Everyone in Linglong Pavilion knew that Master Xuanji never easily visited branch bases in various countries for inspections, but this time, he actually came to Beixi, which made the spies in the inn feel a hint of something unusual.

Hasn’t the border war between Beixi and Beiling come to a temporary halt?

Why did the master come to Huyin instead of returning to Yujing? Could something else be going to happen?

"The young master didn't say it explicitly, but when I was delivering the wine just now, I heard Guard Tayun and the young master mention the princess. Hey, shopkeeper, didn't the princess die? Why are you still..."

Before the waiter could finish his words, he was slapped on the back of the head by the shopkeeper.

"Master Tie, what can I do for you?"

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Tieyi standing in front of the counter, and the shopkeeper immediately asked with a smile.

"I have to go out for a while. The young master asked you to send the personnel flow records of Hu Yin City in recent months."

After saying this, Tieyi flashed and disappeared in front of the two of them.

Phew, that was a close call. The shopkeeper touched his forehead and his hands were covered in cold sweat.

When Tieyi heard the word "Princess" just now, there was a murderous look in his eyes.

Xiao Zhan was alone in the room, flipping through the register brought by the waiter, which contained all the records of the past nine months. He spent a full three hours, his eyes were almost dizzy, but he couldn't find a name related to Jiang Xue.

"Is that all?" Xiao Zhan asked, closing the notebook.

"To answer your question, sir, all the new people who have arrived in the past nine months are here," the waiter replied quickly.

"Are there any new or unusual things these days?"

It was not surprising that Xiao Zhan did not find any clues in the list. After all, for someone as smart as Jiang Xue, hiding would be a piece of cake.

"Speaking of something new!" The waiter scratched his head, "Two new people came to the young master's mansion today, and it made Marquis Qi very angry. It is said that after Marquis Qi left the young master's mansion, he was furious and shouted everywhere that Mr. Huaichen's fiancée was a jealous woman with a very bad character."

They were well-informed in Linglong Pavilion, and today's events spread quickly.

"Who is Young Master Huaichen?" Xiao Zhan asked curiously. This name has only appeared in the past two years. It is said that he is a powerful figure, a rare talent.
