Chapter 670
The Su family has almost settled down in Jiaomen recently, and as the master of the Prince's Mansion, Huo Yue naturally received the news long ago.
Knowing that Yunxi not only didn't intend to kill the person directly, but even planned to turn the tables on him, Huo Yue couldn't help but sigh: "Xi'er's methods are still too gentle."
If it were Huo Yue, he would have taken down the entire Su family long ago.
Zhong Jie was fiddling with the tassel Yun Xi had given her when she heard Huo Yue's words and said, "Do you think this is the Southern Border? Under the Emperor's nose, you think you can just kill people like that? Are you trying to drag our whole family to our deaths?"
Huo Yue sighed: "Either I just don't like Luoyang. When something happens, instead of figuring out the solution first, I have to think about all those complicated relationships. Just thinking about it is exhausting."
If this were in Yunnan, with conclusive evidence, they would be punished directly according to the law. But now, with everyone hesitant and cautious, no one dares to act freely.
Zhong Jie: "You, don't worry about things here. Xi'er knows what she's doing, and it's not wrong for her to be cautious. Why are you in such a hurry?"
“Our daughter is decisive, but it’s not a good idea for her to keep putting herself in danger, is it?” Huo Yue said. “I’m just afraid that she might accidentally fall into someone’s trap.”
Zhong Jie chuckled, "Don't worry, I've arranged for people to secretly protect Xi'er. They're all experienced, nothing will happen. Besides, if it really comes to that, then the two of us will come in handy, won't we? There shouldn't be any trouble in Luoyang City that we can't handle, right?"
Hearing Zhong Jie's words, Huo Yue's eyes lit up: "That's right!"
Having figured this out, Huo Yue stopped worrying about whether Yun Xi's methods were too soft or not.
Just have fun!
"Ah, I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight."
Zhong Jie couldn't help but roll her eyes: "So the reason you've been tossing and turning and unable to sleep these past two days is because you're worried about this?"
"When did you start keeping things to yourself?"
In the past, Huo Yue would never hide anything from her; he would speak his mind directly.
Huo Yue scratched his head and laughed.
This problem of his developed from not seeing Zhong Jie for the past few years.
Although the two have reconciled, they still can't change their bad habits from over a decade ago.
There won't be a next time.
Zhong Jie had guessed something, and when she heard him say that, she nodded and didn't say anything more.
——
Before you know it, the three-day deadline is almost here.
That afternoon, Jixiang went to the back corner gate.
She was carrying a woman dressed in fine clothes on her back, but the woman's face was covered by a veil.
The servant asked in confusion, "What kind of show is this?"
Jixiang said with a stern face: "I've talked to the girl many times these past two days, but she's unwilling. I had no choice but to put drugs in her food before I could get her out of bed."
Upon hearing this, the servant beamed with delight: "You really know how to do things!"
As the servant spoke, he reached out to lift the veil, but Jixiang unexpectedly took a step back, avoiding his hand.
"How dare you touch Miss Huo? Besides, we're still in the Prince's residence. Aren't you afraid of being seen and ruining everything?"
"Anyway, I don't care. The person I care about most is in your hands. Whether they live or die is up to you. I don't plan to stay in the Prince's Mansion anymore. But what about you? What, you're not planning to go back to the Su family either?"
Hearing Jixiang's words, the servant immediately dared not be too presumptuous and reluctantly took a few steps back, saying, "The carriage is ready, hand the person over to me."
He's not like Jixiang. His whole family is with the Su family. If he messes things up, not only will he die, but his family will also suffer the same fate!
"Give it to you?" Jixiang sneered. "What, are you going to kick me away now? The girl has disappeared, and if I stay in the palace by myself, people will skin me alive if they find out."
