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.

This was probably fate. If he couldn't fight for his life, then he could only accept it quietly.

Originally, Jiang Wanyan thought that they would encounter an ambush on their way back to the capital, so she anxiously stared at the pitch black scenery outside the curtains. The horse carriage sped on, and the trees on both sides of the road blurred into a line.

They didn't expect that they would be completely unharmed on their way back to the capital. However, they were no longer in the good mood they had been in this morning.

When Su Mulang just returned to the capital, he already encountered such a thing.

"We can't enter the palace now. Second brother, Jiayue should follow you." Su Mu Qing could not stand Cheng Jiayue's disturbance, so he handed the boat along with the water.

Jiang Wan Yan was still waiting for Cheng Jiayue to jump up and say that she wanted to go to the Duke Palaces. She didn't expect the little girl to lower her head and mutter that under her breath, she pulled on Su Mulang's sleeve: "Xiao Langzi, I'm hungry."

This time, he did not cause a ruckus and wanted to leave with Su Mu Qing. It was a rare event.

The four then went their separate ways, agreeing to contact and share the information as soon as they found any clues.

The Revered King Palace and the King Duan's Mansion were not in the same direction, and could not go the same way. Cheng Jiayue did not know what happened, but she still forcefully pulled Su Mulang and walked away.

"Why isn't she bothering you anymore? How did you offend her? " Jiang Wanyan cast a glance at Su Mu Qing.

Su Mu Qing frowned as he thought about it. The only person he could be considered to have offended was probably the person who had abandoned her at the Pure Cliff Village, right?

However, he had also predicted that Cheng Jiayue would not dare to act alone with her temper.

The night market was bustling at night. It was a peaceful and joyous scene, and no one knew that a small village called Qingya Village had been massacred in the outskirts of the city. As they travelled through such a busy market, Jiang Wan Yan sighed with emotion: "Outside of the city, the disparity between the two is so great."

Su Mu Qing knew that she said it so he didn't want to think about it again. He pointed to a stall and asked, "Are you hungry? Would you like some snacks? "

Su Mu Qing's popularity was great, and Jiang Wan Yan had long experienced this. However, she never expected her heart to be this big, and he wasn't afraid of dragging her to eat some snacks.

Su Mu Qing, however, misunderstood Jiang Wan Yan's intentions. He walked along the path he bought the snacks and held them out to her: "Try this, Jiayue likes this, your family probably likes it. Also, take this."

"Aren't you afraid of being targeted for showing off like this?" Jiang Wanyan couldn't stand Su Mu Qing continuously stuffing things into her mouth, so she twisted her body to the side and nudged him.

Not even three seconds had passed, yet he continued to wink at her, moving closer to her ear. Jiang Wanyan was stunned for a moment, and her ears immediately turned red. She subconsciously tried to dodge, but was stopped by Su Muqing: "Don't move."

His voice was serious and didn't sound frivolous at all. Jiang Wanyan's body stiffened as she braced herself. If Su Mu Qing dared to dupe her, she would definitely spank him.

Su Mu Qing lowered his voice and whispered, "Qing Yi is nearby. If we show off like this, we might be able to catch the 'mouse' in the dark."
