As soon as Peaches stepped out of the door, she heard a "peng" sound. The door was slammed shut by someone. Immediately following that, there was a wave of "peng" sound. The peaches quietly shrank back like Ming Liu. Empress was not someone she could afford to offend!

Qin Feng did not move, allowing Qin Nuo to punch and kick him. Qin Nuo felt that his hands were hurting, and only then did he stop and continue staring at Qin Feng.

"If Mu Xue can't find it, I'm afraid that's the only way!" Qin Feng had a face of helplessness as he softly sighed.

Qin Nuo's mind buzzed, and she instantly became stupefied. However, she knew that she couldn't panic even more at a time like this. She tried her best to suppress her anxiety and stared fixedly at Qin Feng for a few seconds.

"You said that you found Qin Muxue, but you didn't dare let your parents know. I can understand two meanings, can't I? The first one, was that Qin Muxue had already died and was no longer here! That's what you want me to think! Secondly, you found Qin Muxue. She's fine! You didn't dare let your parents know because she didn't want to come back. On one side was her parents, and on the other was her persistent sister. She didn't know who to think for! Furthermore, you were still hoping for a fluke and hope that I could continue pretending to be Qin Muxue.

Qin Feng listened to Qin Nuo and his eyes slowly opened wide. Initially, the reason he noticed Qin Nuo was because she and her sister Mu Xue looked similar. It was because after a few days, he realised that she was very bold and wouldn't easily admit defeat. At the very least, he knew that she would not have thoughts of living because of such a sudden change.

His heart was full of guilt towards her as well. He had been worried about her encounter at the Prince Rui's estate for the past two days. But now, it would seem that not only was this woman bold, she was also very meticulous. The reason she had fallen for him was because she trusted him too much.

He looked, she had said, a little like his brother.

Speaking of which, it was him who had used and betrayed her trust, or perhaps it was her trust in her brother!

Qin Nuo's eyes were smiling as she looked at Qin Feng calmly. The subtle changes on Qin Feng's face did not escape her eyes.

"I didn't help her escape!" Qin Feng immediately said. Qin Nuo's string of words caused him to be extremely shocked. In a moment of desperation, he could only deny that he really did not do anything.

"That means I'm right!" Qin Nuo remained calm. You wanted me to misunderstand her absence, but luckily, in a situation where I had no other choice, I decided to stay in the manor peacefully. But do you know how stupid it is? I know that Qin Muxue is not coming back, and has lost the motivation to wait.

"No!" Qin Feng quickly followed. Don't leave! I'll persuade her to change her mind as soon as possible. "

Qin Nuo did not immediately reply. She picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip, and started drinking.

"The ancient saying goes, 'there is a cloud'; hire someone as your wife and run away to become your concubine. If the Miss Qin was smart, she would not refuse to be a proper wife, and would rather be despised. Moreover, the person that she loves probably doesn't know that she escaped the marriage for him, and thought she was married to Prince Rui! "

Qin Feng remained silent.

Every word that Qin Nuo said, made it impossible for others to refute it, and the last few words she said, struck deep into Qin Feng's heart.

Mu Xue had indeed done a foolish thing. Not only did she make her parents worry, her whole family would be implicated at any time. If this were to be spread out, it would also harm her own reputation. Moreover, he didn't even know who the person in her heart was, whether it was due to being moved by her infatuation or out of disdain!

"You're right!" Qin Feng sighed deeply. I thought too little. Give me a few more days, and let me properly advise her! "

"I'll believe you again." "Qin Nuo waved his fist at Qin Feng again, and said while gnashing his teeth. Otherwise, I won't be able to recognize a person's fist! "

Qin Feng shook his head, with a smile in his eyes, he looked at Qin Nuo.

"Sometimes, the Empress really does resemble my little sister!" However, although I am willful, I never hit anyone! "

I wish I were not like your sister! Qin Nuo was secretly resentful, but she did not say these words out loud.

Although this Qin Feng couldn't be considered to be a good person, he was still a good brother. His sister had almost caused their entire family to suffer, but there wasn't a trace of complaint within his words.

On the way back, Qin Nuo pretended to be very tired and kept her eyes closed the entire time. However, she could still feel Ling Yexuan's cold and probing gaze that never left her face.

"Aren't you going to explain what's going on?" Ling Yexuan waited for a long time, but seeing that the woman was still pretending to be asleep, he finally could not resist and coldly spoke.

Qin Nuo slowly opened her eyes and looked at Ling Yexuan in a daze.

"What?"

He really knew how to disguise himself! A trace of a vague smile emerged on Ling Yexuan's originally indifferent face. Since she wasn't in a hurry, he was in no hurry to see who would be the first to lose their cool.

"Prime Minister Qin has always been a clean and honest person, why is it that the dowry he gives Miss Qin is so extravagant, far surpassing those of those aristocratic families?" Ling Yexuan said with a light tone, as if he was chatting with someone.

"A daughter of the Qin Clan, married to a young lady from a noble clan from the Prince Rui. How could she be comparable to a young lady from a noble clan?" Qin Nuo replied without batting an eyelid.

"Why is it that the only girl who accompanied me to the Prince's Mansion is Jade Peaches?" Miss Qin shouldn't be trying to tell me that there aren't that many servants in the Qin Manor, and from a young age, I have only had one girl to accompany me. " Although Ling Yexuan's tone was neither fast nor slow, it didn't give Qin Nuo a chance to think.

"The dignified Duke Rui Palace, could it be that they lack a little girl? Does the Prime Minister have to be that flamboyant? " Qin Nuo asked with a smile.

"Since the Prince Rui and Prince Rui's Mansion are so highly regarded, why are there only a few people who are standing at the entrance of the Mansion today? Why did the uncle and brothers of the Miss Qin only wait in the hall and not meet him at the door? Why were there so many people who sent their princes and consort out? Prince Rui is shady, or is Miss Qin shady? " This time, Ling Yexuan did not pretend that nothing had happened and asked with a bunch of voices.

"I am only the daughter of the Qin Clan. How would I know the reason behind the arrangements? If Your Highness feels that you have been left out, you can go to the Qin Manor and denounce them for your crimes; there's no need to be so overbearing towards a weak girl like me! " Qin Nuo's voice carried an indescribable sense of grievance. As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes again, as if she was saying, "I'm very tired, please do not disturb me."

Ling Yexuan raised the corner of his mouth, the smile on his face grew even wider.

Qin Nuo quickly recalled her conversation with Ling Yexuan. Although she admitted that she did not have any flaws, she knew that once Ling Yexuan became suspicious, he would not believe it so easily!

Regardless of whether it was her who made him suspicious, or the fact that the Qin Clan wanted to cover this matter up, he didn't have much time left for her or the Qin Clan!

Whether it was from Ming Liu or her own eyes, this temperamental Prince Rui was somewhat childish. However, she knew very clearly in her heart that the dignified crown prince's number one candidate would not be as simple as he appeared to be!

But, if Ling Yexuan was really a scumbag, wouldn't he be hiding his strength and secretly investigating? Why did he have to ask her in such a hurry?

Although Qin Nuo's eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly. If it wasn't for her intelligence, she would have been tricked by this fellow! How could she forget that on the first night of the wedding, the demoness mentioned the matter of the young miss of the Qin Residence running away from home! In other words, the Qin Residence thought that no one knew. In fact, many things couldn't be hidden from Ling Yexuan's eyes.

As for whether her fake item would be exposed, that would depend on whether this Prince Rui understood the real product or not!

However … Qin Nuo's lips unknowingly revealed a trace of a smile. Wasn't the one whom the Prince Rui loved, the Wei Guo Mansion, Jing Shuyi? He shouldn't have that much interest in whether she was a real or a fake!

Qin Nuo quietly opened her eyes, wanting to observe Ling Yexuan's expression, but unexpectedly, she met the gaze of Ling Yexuan when she was looking for her. Although his gaze seemed like he was researching, it was not as cold as before. Instead, it was a bit gentler. Her long eyelashes were like a small fan, causing her to suddenly feel a tinge of jealousy. Her eyelashes aren't that long, okay?

Seeing that the smile in Ling Yexuan's eyes was getting wider, Qin Nuo realized that she had been staring at him for a long time, and felt that he was a little emotional. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should close his eyes or open them and act as if she wasn't afraid to look into his eyes.

To be honest, being together with a beautiful and unreasonable man in a carriage that couldn't be considered as spacious was really a test of her mental fortitude!
