The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Jing Muyang smiled and pulled her back into his arms, and the two were silent for a long time.

Chu Jian thought about this and that for a long time. Jing Muyang definitely had something shameful to do, probably a lot of it.

The battles for the throne have always been fierce in history. An outstanding prince like Jing Muyang would be regarded as an imaginary enemy no matter how uninterested he was in the throne, not to mention that he had been targeted and poisoned once.

However, after Jing Muyang returned, he should have realized that he was not so easy to deal with. He was too patient. Although no one knew how he was poisoned and the poisoning was indeed difficult to investigate, the assassination by the prince was obvious, and he did not go to settle the score with the prince. When asked before, he said there was no rush. If it were me, I would have fallen out long ago.

When I thought of myself, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Mu Yang, what if they investigate me? I'm scared! I'm a person without a background, and I don't know what the young lady of the Xiangfu has been through. I'm so scared of what they'll find out. What should I say if they ask me about it? I'm so scared of saying the wrong thing."

"You don't have to be afraid. As long as you can make it up, you can say whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you can't. I'm here for you." Jing Muyang hugged her arm and caressed it. He looked down at her and paused for a long time before saying, "Chu Jian, I killed your wet nurse."

"Ah?" Chu Jian suddenly got up from him again and looked at him in disbelief. There was no more teasing in his eyes, but a serious expression.

"What did you say? You killed my wet nurse?"

"Yes, not only her, but also her husband and her son. I killed them all. Even if someone investigates you, they can't investigate you."

Jing Muyang was very calm, as if he was just narrating a very ordinary thing.

"Why...why...why?" The more he looked like this at first sight, the more frightened he became. Although she had never seen the wet nurse, in her opinion, wet nurses were generally very good people.

Jing Muyang stared at her panic-stricken expression and thought that maybe it was time to tell her.

"Because I know the truth. Chu Jian, you are not the daughter of the Prime Minister. The real daughter of the Prime Minister died at the beginning of the year."

"No way, how could it be!" Chu Jian always thought that she was the prime minister's eldest daughter.

"The eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion has been raised in the countryside by her wet nurse since she was born. Although the Prime Minister has never asked about her, he has allocated 100 taels of silver to her every year. The wet nurse and her family live on this 100 taels of silver.

If it were an ordinary family, one hundred taels would be more than enough, but the father and son at home were addicted to gambling and lust. Not only did they spend the money on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but they also took turns to bully her when they came back, not just once or twice, but since she was twelve years old.

That woman abused her because of this. Beating and starving her were common. They were afraid that the truth would be exposed, so they locked her up in the house all year round. They only called a doctor to see her when she was sick and fainted and about to die. She was indeed weak and sickly, and that's how the rumor spread."

I couldn't believe it when I first saw her. After all, she was the prime minister's daughter. How dare they... bully her! She had been twelve years old! For six years! And I raised her myself! They were simply beasts!

"At the beginning of the year, she became seriously ill again. The father and son lost all the 100 taels she had just received. She had no money to go to a brothel, so they tortured her to death. They were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they kept it a secret and buried her body in the yard. It was not until the prime minister sent a letter to inquire about it that they lied and said that she was terminally ill. This was exactly what the prime minister wanted, so he sent another letter to ask them to send her to the capital."

"The wet nurse's family thought they could just lie and say you were terminally ill and then say you were dead and bury you after a few days, but they didn't expect the prime minister to want even the body, so they captured you in a panic. You were a beggar wandering the streets, no one cared about you, and no one would care if you disappeared."

"Mu Yang, everything you said is fake." Chu Jian didn't dare to listen any further, it was too horrifying.

"It's true. Do you remember the day when you and Jin Xiang were making cakes in the kitchen?"

He nodded when he first saw her. She disappeared that day and he looked for her for a long time.

"Yuzhou is the prime minister's hometown. I went to the wet nurse's house early that morning. It was in a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city, with few families around. I originally wanted to bring your wet nurse or the maid who had been serving you over to serve you, but when I got there, there was a big pit dug in the yard, and the bones inside were clearly visible. The three of them were kneeling there burning paper money."

"Why did they dig up the bones?" Digging up corpses, this operation is simply unimaginable.

"Because there were rumors in Li County that there was a female ghost in the Zhan Wang's tomb, and the bodies of the Zhan Wang and the princess disappeared. They were scared and thought that the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu had turned into a fierce ghost and was looking for a burial place. They knew that the one in the Zhan Wang's tomb was not real, and they were afraid that the fierce ghost would come to find them, so they dug out the real one and wanted to save it and bury it in another place. But right after digging it out, they met me, and when they heard that I was the Zhan Wang, they blurted out everything."

I was so shocked when I first saw it that I couldn't recover for a long time.

They had discussed a lot about the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family before. Jing Muyang knew it all clearly, but he had never revealed anything before.

"Chu Jian, I killed them because they deserved it." Jing Muyang pulled her back into his arms.

"Yeah, I know, they deserve to die!" Chu Jian nodded.

"In fact, I'm more afraid that they will leak this matter out. You come from another world and need an identity. I think this identity is just right."

Jing Muyang also had selfish motives. He didn't want others to investigate anything that happened to Chu Jian, and he would not allow his princess to suffer the same fate as the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion.

Since the wet nurse's family was dead, other people knew nothing about her except that she was frail and sickly. Except for the doctor who had treated her, almost no one had seen what she looked like, and she and the doctor would probably never meet again in their lives.

"When we first met, did you find me scary?"

Jing Muyang recalled the fear in her eyes just now, and how she stood up suddenly. She must be afraid. He was also afraid that she couldn't accept it, so he didn't tell her right away.

"A little bit, but as long as you don't kill innocent people, I can accept it." Chu Jian is not a saint, and in this world where monarchy is supreme, it's just right for the prince to deal with the scum!

"Chu Jian, what should we do if someone wants to harm us?"

"Fight back! They want to harm us, so why would you let them chop your neck off? Humph, of course an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!" Sometimes I am timid when I first meet them, but I am definitely not the kind of person who will be bullied for no reason.

"Haha, tooth for tooth, all right! Princess, you can make as much noise as you want outside, I will protect you, just don't let anyone bully you!"

"No way, if I can't win, I'll go and complain to my father!"

Humph, doesn't she have a backer? Why not use the backer to show off? She is not stupid.

Of course, in this kind of world, if the emperor wanted her to die, she would have no choice because she couldn't beat him. That's why she wanted the golden medal of immunity from death so much.

"Complain? Hahaha, did you know that Fifth Brother was confined by Father? He will be confined for a month after returning, and his salary will be fined for half a year."

Jing Muyang felt so miserable just thinking about it. Their Five Princes' Mansion was already stretched thin with so many people, and now, there would probably be trouble in the backyard again.

"Who told him to always target me? I didn't offend him!" I was still angry when I first met him. What's half a year's salary? Humph! Humph!!!

"Princess, he's not just targeting you." Jing Muyang's eyes flashed. He knew that the Fifth Prince was not only targeting her, but also coveting her. "Chu Jian, stay away from him in the future."

"Who likes him? Only his princess treats him like a treasure. She even glared at me at the palace banquet. She was the same when she saw me yesterday and today. She smiles in front of others, but looks down on me when she meets me alone. It's really true. I don't know what's so tsundere about her!" I get annoyed when she talks about the couple for the first time.

"Then you should stay away from her." Jing Muyang actually noticed this.

"Mu Yang, who are the friends I can make in Beijing?"

When you first meet someone, you really need a friend, the kind without distance. Jin Xiang has been respectfully keeping a distance from her since the last time.

"You can make friends with anyone, but you can't make deep friends with anyone. It's just a first meeting. We don't have true friendship in the royal family, especially for someone like you who shows up halfway. They won't really make friends with you."

Jing Muyang was also helpless. He was an unpopular prince when he was young and could only follow other princes. His mother was also unpopular. If he had not made a name for himself, no one would have noticed him.

First meeting...Okay, let's go back and see if I can persuade Jin Xiang to rebel again.
