Su Bei looked Duan Zhanfang up and down for a long time and found that she was dressed neatly and did not look injured at all, so he wondered, "How do you know someone wants to kill you?"

Duan Zhanfang looked frightened. "Fang Huihui has been living in the wing room in my yard, but a mouse ran out of her room last night. She said that the room we gave her was not clean and that we were disrespecting her, so she insisted on switching with me..."

"In the morning, the maid found her dead. Her neck was broken..."

Yun Rou followed in, "I followed Miss Duan the whole time last night, and I only saw a dark shadow enter the main room, but Miss Duan was sleeping in the side room, and I didn't dare to leave, so the thief succeeded."

Su Bei was silent for a moment, "Is Miss Duan still going to the capital?"

Duan Zhanfang was in a dilemma. Fang Huihui died in her house. If she went, how would she explain to her uncle? But if she didn't go, who knew if the person who killed her would continue to kill her...

Just as he was hesitating, Chu Younan came in and said, "Let her go with us! Live in the Regent's Palace!"

Now they are not sure who wants to kill her, nor do they know what Liuying is planning. They can only wait and see.

Su Bei also agreed with this suggestion. Anyway, she liked Duan Zhanfang very much. With the two of them accompanying each other on the road, she would not be lonely.

Duan Zhanfang felt relieved with the protection of the Regent's men.

But she was embarrassed to say it. Originally, because she had broken off the engagement in Tongcheng, she wanted to go to the capital and ask her uncle to help her find a marriage. Now she was in trouble. She was afraid that she would become an old maid.

The friends of the Prince Regent must be high-ranking officials and dignitaries. How could a merchant's daughter like her be worthy of them? As they were talking, a maid came in and reported that Xue Jinrong had come, and brought a girl with him.

Su Bei and Chu Younan looked at each other.

Just when I was looking for her, she showed up! Duan Zhanfang was taken away, and Xue Jinrong came in with Liuying.

Only then did Su Bei see clearly that Liuying was a little girl of seven or eight years old. Although she was not wearing colorful clothes, the hairbands she used to tie her braids were colorful.

This girl looked like an ordinary girl, not particularly pretty nor ugly, but her eyes were very lively. But there was something a little weird about it.

I can't tell what's wrong.

Chu Younan noticed that something was wrong with her.

As soon as the girl came in, although she didn't say much, she looked around quietly, and secretly wondered in her heart, "Where is that child?"

child?

Her target is children? She can't be trying to teach them nursery rhymes, right?

Xue Jinrong was obviously deceived by Liuying. She also looked around and said, "Where are Xiao Baozi and Xiao Tangyuan? Bring them out to play with me for a while. Liuying happens to like children very much!"

"He's probably still having breakfast. Let's go later." Su Bei was also cautious.

But Xue Jinrong was very positive, "Then I'll go take a look! It just so happens that we haven't eaten yet!"

As she said that, she grabbed Liuying's hand and ran out.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment!" Chu Younan suddenly spoke.

Xue Jinrong stopped and smiled bitterly, "When did Third Brother become polite to me? If so, should I also call you Regent?"

"That's not necessary." Chu Younan waved his hand. "Abei bought a lot of good things these past two days. He said he brought some for you as well. Why don't you go take a look first?"

Su Bei quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes! There is a set of hibiscus quartz jewelry that is especially suitable for you. It is high-end and classy. Come on, come with me to try it on!"

But Xue Jinrong curled his lips and said, "I don't like to dress up, you know. It's better to look at the little buns and dumplings."

Having said that, she was about to go out again.

Unexpectedly, Liuying spoke up, "Empress, the princess also has good intentions. Besides, the children are eating. If we go there, I'm afraid they won't eat well."

This was beyond Chu Younan's expectations. He thought Liuying was anxious to see the two children.

But Su Bei thought she was even weirder. The words didn't sound like those of a seven or eight-year-old child. Instead, they sounded like those of an adult.

After hearing what she said, Xue Jinrong was no longer anxious. "Okay then, let's go and have a look. I want to see how good things can catch your eye."

Su Bei asked someone to bring the jewelry over, and even brought two more sets.

Liuying looked calm and unhurried, chatting with the two from time to time, acting like an adult.

"This hibiscus stone mask is fresh and refined, but it doesn't quite match the Queen's outfit today. If she changes into a dress of the same color, it will look better. However, the Queen's skin tone still suits red better."

Of course, only the wife has the privilege to wear bright red. How could the wife of a main wife wear pink?

A seven or eight-year-old kid understands this? And he’s saying it in a tactful way?

Either he is not normal, or this person has too high EQ.

But compared to her strangeness, there is another thing that is even stranger.

Su Bei noticed that there seemed to be a black thing crawling into the girl's neck, like a bug, but she didn't seem to feel anything at all.

Isn't it itchy? It was lunch time, and Xue Jinrong slapped his forehead, "Oh! I forgot about the little buns and the little glutinous rice balls this morning. I was just looking at your jewelry!"

"Oh, right!" Su Bei suddenly said, "Let someone bring the children over!"

Wen Xia responded and went out. When she came back a while later, she said, "Princess, the two young masters are clamoring to eat roast goose, so the prince took them to the street."

At this moment, Su Bei remained calm, but he noticed a flash of anger in Liuying's eyes. The anger was fleeting, and then it turned into an innocent smile, "What a pity! The Queen said that they are very cute, I have always wanted to meet them."

"They must have gone to the roast goose shop on the street. Let's go there too! I want to eat it too!" Xue Jinrong said happily.

Su Bei held his forehead with his hand. He was not afraid of great opponents, but of bad teammates. There must be a reason why Chu Younan took the child out at this time!

But Wenxia gave her a look.

Looking at Xue Jinrong and Liuying running out happily, Su Bei felt relieved.

After the two ran out, Wen Xia said, "The prince didn't take them to eat roast goose. He is roasting chicken for them in the backyard. He deliberately asked me to say that."

Su Bei pursed his lips and smiled.

This Chu Younan is so cunning! Su Bei swaggered towards the backyard and saw a fairy-like scene in the backyard.

Two handsome men in white were squatting on the ground, one was making a fire and the other was gutting a chicken. Two little kids were watching not far away, pointing and making comments.

"Daddy! The chicken is crying!"

"Uncle! It's smoking, it stinks!"

Chu Younan skillfully packed the chicken, then strung it with branches and put it on the fire, which surprised Su Bei. Wasn't he a genuine prince? How could he do this? ! Just as she was surprised, Chu Younan turned around and saw her.

The key point is that she was looking at Su Xiujie, and her expression seemed a little confused, but also a little admiring...

Jealousy is everywhere...
