Chen Lianhe just said that County Magistrate Zhao was a corrupt official. Is there any connection between this and the case of Xun Shangshu?

Xun Niannian narrowed her eyes and began to think.

Suddenly, her eyebrows twitched. That’s right, she remembered!

Didn’t County Magistrate Zhao’s daughter Zhao Yuqiao marry Huai Mingyuan as a concubine?

According to the current plot line in the book she had heard, Zhao Yuqiao should have been the head of the Huai Mansion's backyard by now.

The amount of silver hidden in the basement of Huai Mansion is huge, and Zhao Yuqiao must be aware of it.

Could it be that Zhao Yuqiao told County Magistrate Zhao about this?

And in order to save his own life, County Magistrate Zhao confessed the matter under torture?

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

Huai Mingyuan is Chen Lianhe's man, but he did this behind Chen Lianhe's back. It's strange that Chen Lianhe can be happy!

Xun Nian Nian's gaze towards Chen Lianhe became even more complicated.

She pretended not to have guessed anything and coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, is there any connection between this County Magistrate Zhao you mentioned and my father's case?"

Chen Lianhe had just been listening to Xun Niannian's thoughts, so he naturally heard her guess clearly.

Surprisingly, there is not much difference from the actual situation.

County Magistrate Zhao did give away Minister Huai.

However, it was not Zhao Yuqiao who told County Magistrate Zhao that the river repair funds were hidden in Huai Mansion.

Rather, he himself is one of the insiders and participants!

Chen Lianhe did not hide it from Xun Niannian. He raised his eyes slightly, met those bright and lively eyes, and said frankly: "Zhao Zhixian was involved in the transfer and hiding of this money."

"Ah, Magistrate Zhao is also involved?"

This surprised Xun Niannian a little!

Xun Niannian wanted to ask more questions, but she saw Chen Lianhe turned his head to look at the sky outside the window. Before she could speak, he waved at her and said, "Go back to your room and have a rest. Remember to get up early tomorrow."

Xun Niannian originally wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that Chen Lianhe didn't intend to say anything more, she had to swallow back the words she wanted to ask.

She said "Oh" and was about to turn around when her eyes swept over the thick gauze wrapped around Chen Lianhe's head.

Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Your injury hasn't healed yet. Can you bear the fatigue of the journey?"

Chen Lianhe obviously didn't expect Xun Niannian to ask him this. A slightly stunned look flashed across his handsome and fair face.

Then, she gently curled her thin red lips and said in a low, magnetic voice, "Princess, are you concerned about me?"

Xun Nian Nian: “…”

Chen Lianhe's slightly smiling gaze made Xun Niannian's eyes evade for a moment.

[Care about you? Well, it's because you are my capture target! The system says that if you, the capture target, die unexpectedly, it will not be a good thing for me, the host.]

[Although I don’t know how “bad” it will be, I don’t want to gamble! ]

Xun Niannian squinted her eyes and looked at the handsome face, which was full of charm under the light.

Suddenly, my heart seemed to be gently touched by something.

She pursed her lips.

I couldn't help but mutter in my heart.

Does this guy really have no feelings for me at all?

This doesn't look like it!

If you didn’t have any feelings for me, how could you smile at me so “gently”?

There must be a bug in the system!

Yes, that’s definitely the case!

No matter what, no matter whether there is a problem with the system or not, if she treats the villain nicer and shows some concern for him, she will definitely win his favor!

Thinking of this, a bright and charming smile spread across Xun Niannian's beautiful face.

She said in a coquettish tone: "My Lord, look at what you said. We are husband and wife. Isn't it normal for me to care about you?"
