In his previous life, Ye Jin approached Lin Shaoshu step by step and coaxed Lin Shaoshu around.

In this life, she only used a few tricks to separate the two of them, and made their originally secret relationship public!

How would they explain it?

At this time, not only Ye Jin, but even Lin Shaoshu had sweat on his forehead under Xiao Xuetang's seemingly gentle but actually sharp questioning.

Once the matter in Huaizhou is exposed, the cooperative relationship between Lin Shaoshu, Ye Jin and the person behind Ye Jin will inevitably be discovered by the Eastern Palace, and then Lin Shaoshu's plan that he had concealed from Xiao Xuetang for several months will be in vain.

Seeing that Lin Shaoshu and Ye Jin's faces were pale and they were unable to answer for a moment, Xiao Xuetang answered for them...

"I know. It must be because Sister Jin had heard about the Third Prince's elegance and beauty and wanted to see him in person, so she deliberately took a detour to Huaizhou."

Ye Jin considers himself noble and doesn't want to bear the bad reputation of being a nymphomaniac!

But seeing Lin Shaoshu's ugly face at this time, Ye Jin also thought that the conspiracy in Huaizhou that day must not be made public, so he could only grit his teeth and admit it: "Sister is right, but Jin'er only admires His Highness's heroic appearance and has no intention of coveting him."

It's ridiculous that Ye Jin spent so much effort to prepare for today's engagement banquet, intending to make a big splash today.

Who knew that instead of shocking someone, it became a joke.

Seeing the Kyoto noble ladies' looks of amazement turning into contempt, Ye Jin now wished that this farce would end soon.

but……

Xiao Xuetang smiled and said, "Of course I believe in the character of my sister and His Highness."

Lin Shaoshu and Ye Jin both breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Xiao Xuetang said, "As long as you only met in Huaizhou, it's fine. It's fine if you didn't keep in touch in Kyoto behind my back."

The two people who were originally relieved suddenly changed their expressions...

Xiao Xuetang was shocked and said, "You two didn't meet in Kyoto, did you just hide it from me?"

There were many guests in the Marquis' Mansion today, including people from the Eastern Palace and the Wang family. Lin Shaoshu naturally couldn't give them a handle, so he immediately denied it and said, "Tangtang, we have been childhood sweethearts since we were young, why do you doubt me so much?"

Lin Shaoshu looked at Xiao Xuetang lovingly with his pair of peach blossom eyes.

The man has a handsome appearance, noble temperament, and more importantly, a rare deep affection.

At this moment, the noble ladies in Kyoto were both envious and jealous, staring at Xiao Xuetang as if they wanted to poke a hole in her!

How could Xiao Xuetang have such a great honor to be engaged to the Third Prince? Not only did she not cherish him, she even doubted him...

Xiao Xuetang knew Lin Shaoshu's charm, so she naturally couldn't offend the public, so she said, "Of course I believe in you, Your Highness..."

Lin Shaoshu heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that today's troubles were finally over, but unexpectedly a cold sneer came from the door.

"I have heard about the hypocrisy of people in Kyoto before, and now I have finally seen it with my own eyes."

The person who came was a man wearing foreign clothes.

His body was covered with silver ornaments, including a silver pendant on his left ear. His long hair was braided into several strands and casually gathered behind his back, giving him a carefree and unrestrained temperament.

"It's the prince of Prince Mu's Palace!"

The people below exclaimed, and Xiao Yi felt a headache at this moment. Why did this person come?

The Mu Palace has made an indelible contribution to guarding the southern border, and the Mu family members have always been unruly and self-indulgent, always doing what they like.

Back then, the princess knocked the Prince of Runan off his horse and broke his leg, but in the end she was only punished lightly by the emperor.

The prince and princess of Prince Mu's Mansion have come to Kyoto to celebrate the emperor's birthday. Anyone who is smart knows that they must not offend them.

But Xiao Yi didn't expect that someone from Prince Mu's Mansion would actually come to the Marquis' Mansion!

Moreover, this young master looked murderous, and it was obvious that he came with ill intentions.

However, his murderous intent was not directed at the people in the Marquis' Mansion, but at Lin Shaoshu and Ye Jin.

"Third Prince, Miss Ye, we meet again."

The eagle-like sharp eyes stared at them, and Ye Jin couldn't help but shiver.

Although it was only the first time they met, Ye Jin could tell that the prince of Prince Mu's Mansion was no pushover!

Lin Shaoshu was also somewhat unhappy with the sharp gaze, and frowned slightly: "This prince has met the prince."

"Ah."

Mu Xiao sneered and said sarcastically, "Third Prince, you are really a forgetful person. Two days ago, when you were shopping on Suzaku Street with your little lover, you stopped my carriage and accused me of committing a crime in the street, and wanted to send me to the censorship office."

Lin Shaoshu!!!

He never expected that the people in the carriage that day were actually from Prince Mu's Palace.

Moreover, she actually caught him and Ye Jin together and exposed his lie in public!

Before Lin Shaoshu could say anything, Mu Xiao looked at Xiao Xuetang and suddenly changed into a different person. He said, "My beautiful lady, Lin Shaoshu has been having a tryst with your sister behind your back and even lied to you that it's okay. What's the point of having such a heartless and hypocritical fiancé? You might as well consider this prince."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows, looking just like a peacock with its tail spread out.

Xiao Xuetang didn't expect Mu Xiao to be so disrespectful to Lin Shaoshu, and she felt secretly happy.

Suddenly, Mu Xiao came forward. Xiao Xuetang was startled and subconsciously took a step back, saying with a wry smile, "Your Highness is joking."

Mu Xiao said with a serious face: "I am not joking. I fell in love with you at first sight and want to marry you."

"And you see, in terms of looks, this prince is no worse than him. And our Mu family has always been stubborn. Once we decide on a person, we will never change our hearts for the rest of our lives. We are no better than him."

Having said this, he pointed at Lin Shaoshu.

He was not from Kyoto, and his personality was always flamboyant and bold. This made Xiao Xuetang not know what to do, and she looked at him in confusion.

Lin Shaoshu's face turned green when he was breathing.

Is this a blatant attempt to steal someone's girl right in front of him?

"roll."

A cold rebuke was heard, and Lin Xun appeared at the door of the ancestral hall at some point, with a strong aura of oppression on his body.

When Mu Xiao saw Lin Xun, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He immediately said in excitement, "Okay."

Having said this, he disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Xuetang was very envious of such outstanding lightness skills and adaptable demeanor.

Unexpectedly, a tall figure appeared in front of Xiao Xuetang.

"Is he good-looking?"

The voice was chilly and the eyes were even colder.

Xiao Xuetang shook her head subconsciously and denied: "Of course not, I am not that kind of superficial person!"

'Ah……'

The man chuckled, and the intimidating aura on his body lessened a little. Xiao Xuetang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt something was wrong.

Did Lin Xun take the wrong medicine?

Fortunately, the appearance of Lin Xun at this time brought a sense of pressure that made people ignore the conversation between the two.

When Xiao Yi saw Lin Xun, his face turned slightly pale, and there was a hint of fear and... fear in his eyes.

Lin Xun simply glanced at Xiao Yi and said, "Regarding the matter of the military herbs, I believe that the Marquis will give me a satisfactory answer."

When Lin Xun appeared in the backyard of the Marquis's Mansion, he had already caused a burst of whispers.

When they heard Lin Xun's words, everyone was even more shocked!

I thought Lin Xun was attending the family reunion banquet today, but I didn't expect that he was here to investigate a case...

"I heard before that someone in the northwest army of Jingzhou was reselling herbs, killing many injured soldiers. Could this be related to the Marquis of Yong'an?"

If this is true, this once prosperous marquisate is doomed!
