Chapter 486 Is Your Housekeeper Okay?
Hearing the harsh mockery, Marquis Xiangyang's eyes turned cold.
He didn't know much about this sickly prince who almost became his son-in-law, and he didn't even have much contact with him.
This was the first time in all these years that he looked at Xie Mubai straight in the eye.
Looking at the young man in front of him who was a head taller than him, Marquis Xiangyang suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
No wonder the third prince was determined to kill the Xie family. The men of the Xie family were indeed not mediocre.
Especially this Xie Mubai, the four sons of the Xie family combined probably can't match his peerless charm, no wonder that little bitch Shen Wan is willing to risk her face to follow him.
"My Lord, I know you like Wan'er." Marquis Xiangyang thought for a moment, his voice hoarse, "If you really like her, you should let her go."
"As for the reason, you should know it without me saying much."
"Your Xie family has offended too many people. I don't think you can give Wan'er a stable life."
Let go?
We've been through all the storms together, so why let him go now?
Upon hearing this, the disdain in Xie Mubai's eyes became even more intense.
"Don't bother with this matter, my Lord." He curled his lips, a faint smile spreading across his beautiful face. "By the way, my Lord, is your housekeeper okay?"
When he heard the old butler mentioned, Marquis Xiangyang's face suddenly changed and he subconsciously glanced at Su Wen.
It seems that I was careless.
Su Wen was no ordinary person. Seeing his strange expression, he guessed something in his mind.
However, he didn't say anything, but deliberately walked to Shen Wan's side to make his position clear.
Not to mention that he is not familiar with Marquis Xiangyang, even if he is, he will stand on Shen Wan's side.
There's nothing I can do. Who made me like her?
Seeing Su Wen's actions, Marquis Xiangyang's face became even uglier.
"It seems that the Marquis does not want to answer." Xie Mubai smiled coldly, "It's getting late, and we should go home. Please do as you please."
Before he finished speaking, he embraced Shen Wan and walked towards the Princess's Mansion.
The sun sets and the rain falls.
Looking at their gradually receding backs, the Marquis of Xiangyang's eyes were terrifyingly sharp.
He subconsciously clenched his fists, his sharp nails digging deep into his rough palms.
That’s right, he was the one who ordered people to poison the well in the post station and put the blame on the third prince.
I originally thought that everything would be fine if I asked the old butler to mask himself, but I never expected that there would be such a person in Miaojiang, who could even remember the voice he heard several months ago so clearly.
If he insisted on breaking up Shen Wan and Xie Mubai again, the sickly prince would definitely inform the Third Prince about it.
Although the third prince has not been in favor with the emperor recently, he is a meticulous and vicious guy.
If he knew about this, he would never let me go easily.
Help them?
No, you can't!
Shen Wan is no longer the reckless girl who only knew how to cause trouble. Behind her stand the old tutor and the Qin family.
If she really followed Xie Mubai, wouldn't these two huge forces become the sickly ones?
Moreover, before leaving, the Dog Emperor had clearly mentioned that he wanted to take Shen Wan as his concubine.
If I can't bring the person back this time, I'm afraid I'll have a hard time explaining to the Dog Emperor.
The rain was falling gently.
Shen Wan sat at the table, staring at the cup of tea in her hand with complicated eyes.
"The tea is cold. Let's change it." Xie Mubai took the teacup from her hand and brewed a new cup for her.
Seeing that neither of them mentioned the matter of Marquis Xiangyang, Su Wen couldn't help but ask, "Since the person who bought the poison was the steward of the Marquis Xiangyang's mansion, why didn't you question him just now?"
Dare to poison the well water, isn't that bastard afraid of accidentally hurting his daughter?
If Xie Mubai hadn't been there, he would have wanted to teach that short and ugly old man a lesson.
“Do you think he will tell the truth?” Xie Mubai handed the tea to Shen Wan and smiled coldly.
Su Wen was a little puzzled: "Then why did he do that?"
Why?
Xie Mubai and Shen Wan were also puzzled about this.
The Marquis of Xiangyang has already drawn a clear line with the Crown Prince and openly stood in the camp of the Third Prince.
Could it be that he is not the Third Prince's man at all, and there is another master behind him?
Or, to make a bolder guess, he has no master at all and everything is his own idea?
Thinking of this, Xie Mubai's face suddenly changed.
Seeing his different expression, Shen Wan seemed to understand something.
No way?
Marquis Xiangyang deliberately deepened the conflict between the Third Prince and Xie Mubai. Did he want to reap the benefits?
But isn’t he the dog emperor’s confidant?
Could it be that his schoolmate friendship with the dog emperor was all fake, and he had long had ambitions to seize the throne?
Although he was unwilling to believe it, if the Marquis of Xiangyang really had this ambition, then everything he did seemed to be explainable.
"I know!" Shen Wan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately said, "I know where the letter Helian Changjun mentioned is."
Helian Changjun said that the third prince and the Right Wise King of Fanbang had secretly exchanged letters.
But Xie Mubai sent out countless secret guards to investigate, and almost dug up the Third Prince's mansion, but still found nothing.
But if someone was impersonating the Third Prince to communicate with the Right Wise King, then the letter would naturally not be in the hands of the Third Prince.
Xie Mubai also thought of it.
His beautiful brows frowned slightly, then relaxed.
"So this is called walking into a trap!" Although he was smiling, a thin layer of frost floated in the depths of his dark eyes.
Although Su Wen didn't understand, seeing the two of them happy, his mood also improved.
After sending Su Wen away, Chen Wan and Xie Mubai immediately used instant teleportation to the Marquis of Xiangyang's Mansion.
Before being exiled, Shen Wan collected a large amount of supplies at the Marquis of Xiangyang's mansion, but apart from being angry, the Marquis of Xiangyang did not take any major action.
Apparently, those letters were not among them.
There wasn’t much description of the Marquis of Xiangyang in the book, so Shen Wan didn’t know where the letter was.
So the two of them went to the study first.
Most of these dignitaries like to keep their letters in their study, and I believe Marquis Xiangyang is no exception.
But the two of them searched for a long time, even turning over every book, but still found nothing.
Are they overthinking it?
Suddenly, the voices of two little girls talking were heard outside the door.
"Where did the Marquis go? Why hasn't he come back for over a month?"
"Just over a month is nothing. Madam has been away for nearly half a year and hasn't come back yet."
"When you mention this, it reminds me that when the Marquis and his wife were here, they used to clean the room themselves. Now they've been out for so long and they've locked the door. Could it be that they've hidden some treasure inside that they're afraid we'll steal?"
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but feel happy.
She grabbed the villain's arm, hid her figure slightly, and the two of them came to the bedroom of the Marquis of Xiangyang.
The Marquis of Xiangyang loved to seek fame and reputation, and always regarded himself as an honest official.
Even though he held a high position, the furnishings in his home were extremely simple.
The bedroom was decorated extremely simply, with no decoration at all except for the most basic daily necessities.
Shen Wan and Xie Mubai looked at each other and began to search.
The house is not big and there are not many things in it.
But after searching for a long time, I still didn't find it.
Is there any secret compartment in the room?
The two of them checked carefully again. Let alone a secret compartment, there was not even a rat hole in the room.
"Strange, where would he hide the thing?" Xie Mubai frowned slightly and said thoughtfully.
Shen Wan was also puzzled.
From what the two little girls said, the letter must be in the bedroom, but why can't they find it?
Turning her head, she suddenly saw a pair of pillows placed on the bed.
