Chapter 291 It’s not worth getting your hands dirty]
Chen Fenghe also realized that she had overreacted, and hurriedly shook her head and evaded the question, "It's okay. Don't worry, I know what to say..."
Xiao Yunshuo looked at her, his brows still furrowed. He raised his hand to lift her chin and said, "Are you afraid of me?"
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but sigh in her heart, why bother being so serious?
Chen Fenghe blinked sincerely, shook her head vigorously, and said, "Your Highness, you...really misunderstood. I just...suddenly saw them die, and I was a little scared, not because I was afraid of you, Your Highness..."
After saying that, she continued to stare at Xiao Yunshuo with sincere eyes.
She only hoped that Xiao Yunshuo could believe in herself.
After all, it would be better for her situation if he thought she was afraid of the dead than if he thought his princess consort was afraid that she would alienate him.
Xiao Yunshuo glanced at her, his expression did not change significantly, making it impossible to tell his emotions.
Chen Fenghe was getting a little impatient.
This man is really too reserved, isn't he? His previous thoughts were clearly visible just from his expression.
Suddenly, Xiao Yunshuo reached out and pulled her into his arms. His large hand gently stroked the back of her neck, and he said in a deep, magnetic voice, "Don't be afraid. I'll take care of everything. Don't put yourself in danger again to vent my and Mother's anger. They all deserved to die, but... it's not worth getting your hands dirty."
Chen Fenghe: “…”
This last sentence... Could it be that he had seen through her intention to kill Qin Lizheng and the other two? So... did he believe what she said or not?
However, Chen Fenghe didn't intend to delve into it foolishly. It was good enough that he could get away with it now.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from there: "Mr. Yun? Where are you?"
It was the voice of an official.
Chen Fenghe's heart trembled. She was still in Xiao Yunshuo's arms. If she was discovered, she would have no way to explain herself.
Fortunately, Xiao Yunshuo had already let her go and said loudly, "I'm here."
The officer heard it, and a moment later, he turned around from a bend in the rocky area and said, "Master Yun, you suddenly disappeared and gave us a start..."
Before he could finish his words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock at the scene before him.
"Oh my...Oh my god! Northern Rong soldiers!" The officer was so scared that his legs went limp.
The patrol team originally assigned to Xiao Yunshuo consisted of an officer and two male prisoners. The other two male prisoners were so frightened that they cried out incoherently, "Dead...dead!"
"Isn't that Qin Lizheng and his son and nephew? Are they all...dead?"
Xiao Yunshuo said, "Master Li, there's no need to panic. These Northern Rong soldiers must have come out to investigate and happened to be encountered by Miss Shen and the Qin family. I heard the noise and rushed over in time, killing the Northern Rong soldiers. Unfortunately, I was still a step too late. The three members of the Qin family were killed by the Northern Rong soldiers, and only Miss Shen escaped..."
After hearing this, the official surnamed Li turned to look at Shen Fenghe inquiringly and asked, "Miss Shen, is what Master Yun said the truth?"
After all, a prisoner had died, and it was a serious matter with three people dead, so he did not dare to be careless.
Chen Fenghe nodded and said, "What Master Yun said is all true. Fortunately, he arrived in time to rescue me, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been in the hands of the Beirong soldiers..."
Seeing Shen Fenghe also said so, Lord Li already believed it 99% and said: "Mrs. Shen has survived a great disaster and will surely have good fortune in the future. These three people from the Qin family can only blame themselves for their bad luck."
Xiao Yunshuo said, "Master Li, since these Northern Rong soldiers have already patrolled here, I think we should return as soon as possible. If we attract more Northern Rong soldiers, it will be troublesome."
Mr. Li nodded immediately and said, "Mr. Yun is right. Let's go back immediately!"
