Cheng Jiayue was so scared that when she sat on the carriage, her eyes were a little dull, unlike when she first arrived.

Jiang Wanyan's heart suddenly started to ache for this little girl. She happily went on vacation, yet she was in such a bad mood. If it was her, she probably wouldn't be able to take it.

However, Jiang Wanyan was slightly different from Cheng Jiayue. When she was ten years old, Jiang Wanyan had seen dead people before.

The one who died was Beauty Liu.

Jiang Wanyan remembered that back then, her father had doted on this beauty Liu, praising her for her fair skin and alluring eyes.

When Beauty Liu died, Jiang Wanyan secretly ran over to take a look.

Liu Mei, who had always been proud of her white skin, was covered in poisonous spots. Her face was hideous, without a single trace of her delicate beauty.

Because of this, Jiang Wanyan had a nightmare for a whole week. Unfortunately, her soul had passed away, and even after searching for three months, she still wasn't able to find anything.

”What are you thinking about?” Su Mu Qing suddenly waved his hand at her, interrupting Jiang Wan Yan's train of thoughts.

This sentence was fresh, and Su Mu Qing seemed to have caught onto Jiang Wan Yan's thoughts. He frowned and thought for a moment, ”You mean that the person who killed the man from the Pure Cliff Village was not actually a villager from the Pure Cliff Village, nor is he my second brother who had his name buried in the village. Instead, he wanted to use this kind of behavior to achieve another goal?”

Jiang Wanyan nodded her head, ”It's also possible that the mastermind behind this thought that you were hiding something very important to him in the Clear Cliff Village. Since it was fruitless, he decided to kill the entire village and force you guys to take out something important to take away. Su Mu Qing, you have so many enemies, could it be that they came to you?!”

Jiang Wanyan changed the topic and only thought of Su Mu Qing. This prince was the one who was the most unpopular with them. Even entering the palace to thank them for their kindness could be assassinated. Who knew if this drunkenness was due to him!

These words attracted the attention of Su Mulang and Su Mulang. Cheng Jiayue finally showed some reaction, opened her mouth with great difficulty, and almost cried out loud: ”Big Brother Muqing, have you really offended such a terrifying person? So, are you going to make a move against us next time? ”

Su Mulang's heart ached for Cheng Jiayue as he hugged her to comfort her. ”That won't happen, in these few days when you go to the empress dowager's palace, no one will be able to hurt you.”

After coaxing her, she looked up at Jiang Wanyan: ”I'm the one who lives in Qing Ya Village, what does that have to do with Third Brother? ”But I'm not in the capital all year round. Is it because I don't want to go to Dock City anymore after I return to the capital?”

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Su Mu Qing also had a headache, seeing that Cheng Jiayue was about to lose her breath from crying, she could only sigh, ”This matter still needs a long period of time to be discussed, we can't reveal anything. Tomorrow, I'll have Qing Yi check if there are any clues that can be found out, and Jiayue will follow what you said, and send them to the empress dowager's palace first. Second brother, you can send them yourself, so that you won't be worried too.”

Su Mulang nodded his head, the gloomy expression on his face did not relax in the slightest.

They had only walked half the way back to the capital when the sky turned completely dark. The group did not eat dinner, and no one was hungry despite their tense nerves.

Jiang Wanyan felt that her fate in marrying into the Xia Kingdom was very bad. She kept getting entangled with these bad things one after another. The more she wanted to draw a clear line between herself and Su Mu Qing, the harder it got.
