Seeing Lu Jinfeng's attitude soften, Chen Mu's eyes glimmered slightly. "Alright, I naturally have to give face to the prince."
Although she addressed him as "Prince", her expression did not contain the slightest bit of reverence or respect from the members of the royal family. The corner of Qin Tiansei's mouth twitched. However, with her softening tone, there was room for negotiation.
"What do you want?"
Chen Mu Mu had agreed to give up, but there was no way he wouldn't want some benefits. He didn't think that his face would be worth so much.
"Your Highness, a promise." Chen Mu Mu smiled faintly. "Is it possible?"
"You first." A strange look flashed across Qin Tiansei's face. It was obvious that he didn't trust her.
"Afraid of being cheated by me?" Chen Mu Mu asked.
"Indeed." Qin Tianshui nodded and did not deny.
At the very least, there were a lot of people who had been tricked by her. He did not wish to join this army.
"I want an empty promise." Chen Mu bit her lips, "After all, that Shen Tianba has tried to harm our family so many times. Letting him go is the same as letting a tiger return to the mountain, I want a promise from the Prince, that's not too much."
The corner of Qin Tianli's eyebrows twitched.
Isn't this too much? Blank promise, God knows what she would ask for.
But he … He didn't seem to have a choice.
Qin Tianli thought for a moment, then said, "I won't harm the heavens and the earth, I won't surpass something that I can do."
"That's for sure." If she exceeded Qin Tianshui's capabilities and had no confidence in the progress of the situation, would she still look for Qin Tianshui?
"Alright, This King agrees." Qin Tianshui nodded after a slight hesitation.
"Words are useless." Chen Mu Mu laughed as he looked at him, "Your Highness should have given me a proof."
"Since you've already said so, you can't go back on your word. Are you still afraid that I'll break my promise?" Qin Tianshui was slightly displeased.
"I'm really scared." Chen Mu laughed, "After all, the prince himself is someone who can easily change his mind, right?"
Frankly speaking, Qin Tiansei was not a good person and his status was high, so there was no proof at all. If there came a day when she needed his help, he would deny that he owed her a favor.
Her attitude was tough, fighting her way into the Li King Mansion?
Just thinking about it made it impossible.
People did not fight with officials. This had been the principle since ancient times.
Even if she had the ability to kill into the Li King Palace, wouldn't Qin Tianshui have retaliated against her?
She wasn't afraid of death, but the people around her couldn't possibly want them to die with her, right?
Of course, she had her concerns, but there was no need for her to let Qin Tiantai know.
Thus, he waited for Qin Tianshui's reply without changing his expression.
Seeing that she didn't fear him, Qin Tianli shook his head, "I'm really afraid of you." He tore a jade pendant from around his neck and threw it at her, "This is for you, this is the closest thing to this king. As for the people from Li King Palace, if they meet this jade pendant, this king owes you a favor. If you require this king's presence, they can also use this item to seek the help of the people from Li King Palace."
Jade pendant? Chen Mu Mu looked at Qin Tiansei with a strange expression on his face. "A gift for me?"
A man giving a woman a jade pendant?
Even though she was an old woman, did that not mean that she didn't know anything and was secretly poking around?
"You're overthinking it. Such a precious jade pendant is one of the characteristics of my Li King. How can I just give it to you for free? It's only being used as a token of proof for you to use for a few days. Once the so called favor is used up, I'll definitely take it back."
With Qin Tianshui's words, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu could finally accept them. "I'll be waiting for the day you return the favor."
"It's okay now." Qin Tianshui lightly waved his folding fan, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "You know that owing someone a favor does not feel good. Use this opportunity as soon as possible, and I will also feel more at ease."
"Hur hur." Chen Mu glanced at him, "If I were to use it now, I want to kill that fellow, Shen Tianba, the most. Are you willing?"
Qin Tianshui revealed an enigmatic smile. "What do you think?"
Naturally, it was impossible.
Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't expect him to agree, so he rolled his eyes: "Seeing you supporting Shen Tianba like this, it inevitably aroused my curiosity, and now that I'm considered one of the parties involved, I think I should have the right to know about your relationship with Shen Tianba right?"
If she did not have a relationship with him, she would never have believed that a guy like Qin Tiantai, who seemed to be sentimental but was actually a little lacking in emotion, would painstakingly negotiate with her. He had to protect Shen Tianba no matter what, even if he had to promise her that he would.
Qin Tiansei was actually the same as her. He was a person who had nothing to do with others. Even when he was starving to death, he didn't bother to take a glance at her.
Qin Tianshui folded his fan and moved it to cover his lips. He glanced at her with his peach blossom eyes, and a hint of allure appeared at the corner of his eyes. "Guess?"
"Speak human words!" Chen Mu Bai glared at him.
With regards to the matter of the crown prince's descendants, how could she guess? She was a country bumpkin who had never even been to the capital before.
Did he really think of her as an almighty deity?
The corner of Qin Tiansei's mouth hooked up, "You're so smart, you always like to pull out threads and break out of cocoons. Guess, if you guessed right, I'll tell you."
"You!" Chen Mu Mu frowned. Just as he was about to flare up, a bright glint flashed in his eyes and he sneered lightly, "I think that the Shen family should be your mother's relatives right? And that Shen Tianba, is your cousin? "
She thought back to how the Shen Fei had protected Shen Tianba. As a rule, a cultivated woman would not meddle in other people's business, but had to meddle in other people's business. With the imperial family's reputation there, she had to protect this reputation.
However, she still had to protect Shen Tianba.
Other than her being slightly involved with Shen Tianba, there was no other reason.
Furthermore, the Shen Fei was originally surnamed Shen and Shen Tianba was also surnamed Shen. How could there be so many coincidences in the world?
Although the Son of Heaven was guilty of the same crime as the people, but the Son of Heaven was guilty of the same crime as the people.
The higher ups usually look down on the lower down, not to mention that this person was the emperor who wielded the power to kill and to kill above tens of thousands. With just a thought, tens of thousands of people became skeletons. It would be naive to think that the Son of Heaven would be able to make a civilian feel guilty, or even fight for his life.
"You guessed right." Qin Tiansei was not stingy with his praise. "He can already guess that she is indeed a woman I admire."
This sort of simple matter mainly depended on one's courage. As long as one had the courage to guess, they would be able to obtain the answer.
Chen Mu lowered his gaze. "As expected."
After all, one man had ascended to the heavens in the Dao of the Heavens, and the Shen Fei was the daughter-in-law of the imperial family.
As a modern person, she naturally knew about the relationship between women and women. Originally, she did not care about this relationship, but now that the Shen family wanted to do something bad to her, Shen Tianba was, after all, a male member of the Shen family who could extend the joss stick. It would not be difficult for him to add fuel to the fire when he returns to incite the hatred of the entire Shen family towards her.
The more he thought about it, the more his balls ached.
He truly had the feeling of letting go of a tiger back in the mountain, and he didn't know whether his decision to let Shen Tianba go was right or wrong.
But no matter what, Qin Tianli had already opened his mouth. What she wanted to give was face, and the outcome of the matter had already been decided.
Seeing that she did not speak for a while, Qin Tianli paused, "You don't have to be afraid. I will inform the Shen family that if that brat still dares to act recklessly, this duke will be the first to cripple him."
Chen Mu Mu Mu looked up at him, and Qin Tianshui laughed bitterly: "What, in your heart, am I that unbearable? Do you have to be of a different type? "
Chen Mu replied with a look that gave Zhang Xuan an insight into the situation.
Qin Tianli choked, "This duke is actually quite upright." Seeing that Chen Mu did not believe him, he shook his head and sighed, "This time I am giving my mother face, but I am not an unscrupulous person. I will let him go this time, but if he dares to offend me again, my mother will not have any reason to protect him."
Chen Mu Mu narrowed his eyes, "So you're telling me, if Shen Tianba dares to lay his hands on us next time, even if I cripple him, you and the Shen family won't deal with me?"
She purposely emphasized the last few words. Qin Tiansei was startled and nodded: "You can say so."
"He's a good prince who's willing to eliminate his relatives for justice." Chen Mu's lips curled upwards as he gave him a spurious smile. "I hope that you can do what you say. Just don't act like a woman with emotions."
Of course, if Qin Tianli insisted on having emotions, she might not be willing to sell his face next time.
Although the prince had a lot of power, as a "genius doctor", it wasn't impossible for her to kill him without making a sound.
Qin Tianli was speechless, "Aren't you a woman? "Why do you look down on women?"
"Women tend to be indecisive and indecisive. That's nothing. After all, the ones who make decisions in the family are mostly men." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu wasn't the least bit embarrassed as she continued speaking, "However, if a man is as indecisive and indecisive as the rest, then this man is considered useless."
Qin Tianshui's face twitched, "Are you scolding me in a roundabout way?"
Chen Mu Mu smiled faintly, "If you think so, it isn't impossible."
Of course, she wanted to scold him. If not for his identity, the things he did would have been sufficient for her to poison him to death.
Qin Tianshui glared at her, and Chen Mu Mu Mu wasn't afraid as she calmly stepped forward to welcome her.
After a long while, Qin Tiansei was the first to lose. "I'll let you off today. However, you have to fulfill the promise you made to me."
Chen Mu Mu nodded his head, "Rest assured, since I, Chen Mu, have promised them, I will go and convince them."
Qin Tianshui gave her a deep look before standing up. "It's like this. It's already late, and the weather is getting heavier. You and I haven't been here for very long, so let's go back and rest first."
"See you in the morning." Chen Mu Mu nodded as he stood up.
She didn't know how Qin Tiansei would deal with Shen Tianba's group, but since he had agreed to Qin Tiansei's request, she didn't care about the rest of the matters.
When he arrived at the second floor, before he could even push open the door and enter, he saw a youth standing at the side of the corridor.
"Still awake?"
The youth slowly walked towards her with a faint smile on his face. "I'm worried about you."
"Qin Tianshui may not be a good person, but in the current situation, he won't do anything to me." Chen Mu Mu Mu said.
Lu Jinfeng nodded, and remained silent for a bit: "He is looking for you for the matters with Shen Tianba, let us not fuss about it, shall we?"
