Nangong Muyun pulled Jiang Ziyi out and took her to a rockery.

"Are you fond of Nangong Shuyan?" His tone was blunt, even with a hint of sarcasm.

After all, there are many girls who want to get close to him, but Jiang Ziyi seems to have little interest in him. How can he tolerate this!

Besides, it would have been fine if Jiang Ziyi was just cold towards her, but she was so enthusiastic towards her second brother and even cooked for him!

Listening to Nangong Muyun's words, Jiang Ziyi sneered inwardly.

In her opinion, Nangong Muyun was like a clown at the moment. The original owner had wanted to marry him, but he only wanted to get rid of the original owner.

Now he is even more shameless. Just because he sees that I have become a little prettier, he throws himself at me like crazy.

He can be said to be a typical example of a mean man encountered in these worlds.

Nangong Muyun saw that Jiang Ziyi was still silent and was about to ask another question.

Jiang Ziyi's face suddenly showed an expression as if she was about to cry.

"My Lord, I treat the Second Young Master better because I'm afraid of gossip outside the Marquis' Mansion."

"Gossip? What gossip?" Nangong Muyun asked in confusion.

"I see that he has been locked up in Hanmei Courtyard with no one to take care of him. If this situation is spread by someone with ulterior motives, it is inevitable that people will say that the Marquis is mistreating his own brother..." She said this with sincerity.

Nangong Muyun was no longer angry and felt completely comforted.

It turns out that Jiang Ziyi was nice to her second brother in order to help herself gain a good reputation.

He took Jiang Ziyi's hand and said, "I misunderstood you."

Jiang Ziyi suppressed her goosebumps and replied, "Nothing."

The more Nangong Muyun looked at Jiang Ziyi, the more he liked her.

I didn't expect that she would care so much about me.

"Tomorrow I'll take you out for a stroll and pick out some fabrics to make some clothes."

Haha, I have been in the mansion for so long, and I only remembered this now.

However, Jiang Ziyi did not refuse. She knew that Nangong Muyun would definitely pay for her to go out tomorrow. It would be a waste not to spend this bastard's money.

And judging from Nangong Shuyan's attitude just now, he must be concerned about me...

It was worth it that I cooked for more than a month every day.

Now, as long as I get closer to Nangong Muyun, Nangong Shuyan should plan to get rid of Nangong Muyun faster...

"Then Ziyi would like to thank the Marquis first." She replied meekly.

When Nangong Muyun saw that Jiang Ziyi was so understanding, the unpleasantness he had just felt disappeared in an instant.

He sent Jiang Ziyi back to the yard.

Su Yaoyao, who lived next door, saw the Marquis coming and called out to him enthusiastically.

However, Nangong Muyun just glanced at it and did not stop.

She was very puzzled.

I clearly saw the Marquis go to Hanmei Courtyard angrily today, so why was he still so kind to Jiang Ziyi?

Jiang Ziyi looked at Su Yaoyao and immediately thought of how Nangong Muyun followed her to Hanmeiyuan.

It was Su Yaoyao who filed the complaint again.

This woman will never stop causing trouble until she dies.

Thinking of the dagger that Yicui wanted to use to cut her face.

Jiang Ziyi's eyes turned cold.

It was the middle of the night, and everyone was asleep.

Jiang Ziyi was dressed in black and covered her face with a black cloth.

He left his room quietly.

I sneaked into the yard opposite.

At this moment, Su Yaoyao was sleeping soundly in bed.

But she suddenly noticed a slight movement.

She thought it was Yicui.

But after a while she suddenly woke up. She had thrown Yicui out of the house. Where was Yicui now?

She immediately sat up, hugged the quilt and looked around.

But no movement was detected.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this was the Marquis' Mansion, and the security at the door was quite strict.

Just when she was relieved.

A dark shadow rushed out from hiding.

Before she could utter a word, her mouth was covered tightly and a big cloth ball was stuffed into it.

However, the night was too dark and there was no candle in her room, so she couldn't see who was in front of her at all.

She was so frightened that she dared not move.

I couldn't make any sound and could only cry silently.

However, after a while, she felt something cold against her cheek.

According to her intuition, it was a cold knife.

"Before you order someone to do something evil, have you ever thought that there will be a day when it will backfire on you?"

Su Yaoyao listened to the voice...it was Jiang Ziyi!

Su Yaoyao wanted to scream, but she couldn't.

She was pressed on the bed and kicked her legs wildly.

But he still couldn't escape Jiang Ziyi's control and couldn't move at all.

Suddenly, she felt a chill in her heart.

The entire dagger was stabbed into her body.

Su Yaoyao froze.

At this point, he died completely.

Jiang Ziyi took advantage of the night to sneak back to her own courtyard, got rid of the black clothes, washed up briefly, and went back to her bed to have a good sleep.

From now on, there will no longer be a fly like Su Yaoyao flying in front of him.

Early the next morning, Nangong Shuyan stood in front of the courtyard gate.

It was almost noon, but Jiang Ziyi still hadn't shown up.

The attendant spoke cautiously: "Sir, I'm afraid Miss Jiang won't come again..."

"And I heard that Miss Jiang went out with the Marquis this morning..."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Shuyan suddenly clenched his fists. Because he clenched too hard, the joints of his fingers turned white.

"Last time I asked you to deliver a letter to the people in the alley, have you received a reply yet?"

"Sir, the Third Prince said we can take action now."

After hearing what the servant said, Nangong Shuyan finally smiled.

The emperor is now old, and the crown prince died early, so now only the second prince and the third prince are left to compete.

The two of them each formed their own faction.

Nangong Muyun openly followed the Second Prince, hoping to support him to ascend the throne and become the most powerful official in the country.

The Marquis' Mansion is now admired by many people because it currently belongs to the Second Prince's faction.

Little did people know that although the Second Prince was born to Concubine Li and was of noble birth, he was weak inside and had many shortcomings. In the eyes of the current emperor, he was not the best choice.

On the other hand, the third prince, although born to a foreign princess in marriage, did not seem to be favored. He was even kept in the cold palace since childhood because of his foreign origin.

However, the third prince is ruthless and has old subordinates from foreign tribes behind him.

A wise bird chooses a good tree to rest in, so when the third prince tried every means to contact him through someone, he decided to take a gamble.

Nangong Shuyan stood in front of the courtyard gate for a long time. He looked at the rotten wooden door and murmured in his heart: It's almost time... One day, he will step out of this dilapidated courtyard in broad daylight and stand in front of the world with dignity.

The position of Marquis should not be held by someone as stupid and hypocritical as Nangong Muyun. He will personally pull him down from that position.

And Jiang Ziyi... He would definitely take her into his hands, making it impossible for her to leave him again...
