At this time, Jiang Ziyi was brought to the cloth shop by Nangong Muyun.
She looked at the dazzling array of colorful fabrics, touched a red one, and asked, "My Lord, when will we be married?"
In fact, the reason she asked this question at this time was not because she wanted to marry Nangong Muyun, but because Nangong Muyun's attitude was different from that in the previous life, and she needed to confirm Nangong Muyun's thoughts.
When Nangong Muyun heard her ask this, his expression immediately became a little unnatural.
"I'll get married once I'm done with my work in the palace."
Although he was smiling, Jiang Ziyi still noticed his hesitation at that moment.
It seems that Nangong Muyun doesn't really want to marry me now.
I guess he said that before just to assert his sovereignty in front of Nangong Shuyan.
She smiled slightly, and she felt relieved. She was afraid that Nangong Muyun had some feelings for her.
"Okay." Jiang Ziyi replied with a smile and turned around to continue choosing fabrics.
Nangong Muyun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart at this moment.
Before, when he was in front of Nangong Shuyan, he did want to marry Jiang Ziyi.
However, when he returned and thought about it calmly, he realized that Jiang Ziyi was currently just a guest in his house and no longer had any power to support her. Although she was a noble lady, she was just an empty shell.
If the second prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, he will be extremely wealthy. At that time, he can marry any noble lady he wants. Why should he be obsessed with the beauty in front of him?
To put it bluntly, he now looked down on Jiang Ziyi in his heart and felt that she had no other advantages except her beauty.
Now that she's taking the initiative to propose marriage, I can't help but feel that she's even cheaper.
He looked at Jiang Ziyi's slim back and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Such a woman is not qualified to be his wife, but her beauty is real. If such a woman is sent to the palace and let the second prince enjoy her...
At this time, Jiang Ziyi was still choosing fabrics, and had no idea about Nangong Muyun's cunning thoughts behind her.
Nangong Muyun suddenly stepped forward and said, "What do you think of this lake green material?"
He remembered that the second prince's favorite color was lake green. In the past, when they were out having fun, the second prince always ordered women wearing lake green clothes.
Jiang Ziyi looked at the piece of material in his hand and nodded, "It's really good."
Nangong Muyun quickly asked someone to pack up the material.
When the time comes, I will ask the palace to cut the cloth into clothes and let Jiang Ziyi wear them... The second prince will definitely like it!
After buying things, Nangong Muyun took Jiang Ziyi out for a meal before returning home.
As soon as I entered the door, the person in charge came hurriedly to report.
"My Lord!"
Nangong Muyun was a little displeased when he saw the manager's panicked expression. "What's so urgent that you have to say it at the door?"
The steward spoke tremblingly, "I haven't seen Miss Su yet today! I just went to see her and found her dead in her room!"
"What!" Nangong Muyun's eyes suddenly widened.
When Jiang Ziyi heard the news, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
"How did he die?" Nangong Muyun asked.
"Yes... a dagger was stabbed into the heart..."
"Why didn't I hear any sound last night? Have you asked the guards in the mansion?"
"I've asked them, and they all said they didn't hear any sound. Furthermore, the guards in the mansion speculated that Miss Su might have been pinned down by the man, with a cloth stuffed in her mouth, which is why she didn't make any sound..."
Nangong Muyun's expression froze when he heard this.
Countless thoughts popped up in his mind instantly.
Could it be that they were assassins sent by the party that opposed the second prince?
Jiang Ziyi was amused by what she heard. These people had no doubt that Su Yaoyao's death was related to her. After all, who would have thought that a woman who looked delicate could suppress someone so easily?
Nangong Muyun's eyes turned cold, and he said to the manager, "Don't make this matter public, just deal with it quietly."
His Majesty has been in poor health recently, and this is a critical moment.
If someone discovered that there was a murder in his mansion at this time, it would definitely have some impact.
"Then...the murderer..." asked the manager.
"Don't worry! Just dispose of her body! Increase the patrol intensity of the guards in the mansion!"
The manager heard Nangong Muyun's voice was tinged with anger, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions and had to do his job honestly.
Jiang Ziyi looked at Nangong Muyun, who had a gloomy face, and said in a frightened tone, "My Lord..."
Nangong Muyun quickly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
He asked the servant to hand over the purchased material to the tailor in the mansion.
He also specifically instructed that the lake green dress be quickly tailored to suit Jiang Ziyi.
Su Yaoyao died today, and he didn't know if someone would attack Jiang Ziyi in the future. He had to speed up and send Jiang Ziyi to the Second Prince while she was still alive and had some value.
If he were killed in the mansion, he would lose a bargaining chip.
"I have something to do, you go back first." After saying that, Nangong Muyun left.
He had to quickly write a letter to inform His Royal Highness the Second Prince about what happened today.
Seeing Nangong Muyun leave, Jiang Ziyi also returned to her own yard.
As soon as Chunqin saw her coming back, she rushed over.
"Miss! You're okay!" Chunqin's pale face regained some color after seeing the living Jiang Ziyi.
Just now she saw Su Yaoyao being carried out with a white cloth covering her face, which frightened her greatly.
