Chapter 44: Counterattack of the Hypocritical Time Traveler 3.15



Is it because Wenren is looking for him?

He also met Wenren Xunmi yesterday and felt that she might not be as good as the rumors said.

But when he saw Feifei's tears, he felt heartbroken.

Regardless of whether it was Wenren Xunmi’s fault or not, let’s help Feifei vent her anger first.

Nangong had also taken care of the prefect's side. As long as the people he arranged were killed, there would be no problem.

He came to keep an eye on it in order to avoid any problems.

"Why, do I need to report to you where I am? Who the hell are you?"

Guan Shengqing clenched his hands tightly, having no way to deal with Prince An's contemptuous attitude.

But before he could catch his breath, his heart was lifted up.

Zong Zheng Mufeng glanced at the person kneeling on the ground with disdain, his whole body emitting a murderous aura.

"Why, is this the guy who sued my princess for stealing his ancestral jade pendant?"

He walked around examining her. "You don't look like you have anything valuable."

"Even if it's an heirloom, it's not considered a rare treasure."

"Why, do you still think that my princess has poor eyesight and can't even tell the difference between a fake and a treasure?"

Guan Shengqing's eyes were full of surprise. Wenren Xunmi turned out to be Prince An's princess. What was going on? Why didn't they get the news?

He did see Prince An appear yesterday, but he and Nangong, who had no time, didn't hear clearly what he said afterwards.

In addition, I was quite shocked, which resulted in my mind not being able to record those details in time.

Bai Ling, the only one who heard it, didn't notice that the two were not in the right state because of the shame in his heart.

All this...

In fact, it can only be said that no one thought that Prince Xiaoyao of Anguo would fall.

The prefect had already rolled off the stool in a spineless manner when he saw Prince An.

After hearing the rest of the words, he immediately knelt down, with a look of panic on his face, as if he was going to die in the next moment.

Li Zhu, who was originally dragged here to file a complaint, was now trembling all over.

He was so pale that he didn't dare to look up. The man in front of him was Prince An.

The emperor's favorite brother is also the overlord of the capital.

How unlucky he was, hitting the opponent's iron plate and wanting to die.

I secretly glanced at Guan Shengqing who was sitting not far away and found that his face looked very bad too.

But after he looked over, he glared at him fiercely and immediately looked sad.

He had to go on like this, but he was really scared.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have agreed just for the sake of cheapness.

"Why, can't you hear what I'm asking, or are you making up an excuse?"

Sitting on the stool that An Yi brought, holding the beauty in his arms, my mood finally brightened up a little.

The old Duke had already been invited by An Er to sit opposite. As for the prefect who was almost lying on the ground, who cared?

"Your Highness, I have truly lost my ancestral exquisite jade pendant."

Li Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground, tried to toughen himself up and answered with his neck stiff.

His palms were covered in cold sweat, but fortunately he suddenly remembered the jade pendant that Master Guan had given him, so he took it and used it.

After hearing this, Zong Zheng Mufeng glanced at Li Zhu with a half-smile and said meaningfully.

"Why do I remember this exquisite jade pendant was made by the royal family, and..."

Looking at the two men with their ears perked up nervously, he nonchalantly played with the beauty's fingers and admired their expressions.

When the man said the name of the jade pendant, Guan Shengqing cursed in his heart.

Sure enough, what happened next put an end to all his hopes.

"Besides, this thing should have been bought by Master Guan."

"If I remember correctly, it ended up in Guan Shengqing's hands, right?"

"When did it become someone else's and get lost?"

"This royal product is not allowed to be possessed by anyone except those of the fifth rank or above who can be granted or purchased by the emperor."

"If it's discovered that it's been regifted or lost, it will be treated as a crime of disrespect."

If you dare to lay your hands on his beauty, you will have to endure the sharpness of his nails after they grow back.

When searching for the veil to be taken off her head, she did not miss the surprise and confusion of the person on the ground.

He immediately had an idea in mind and gently pulled Zong Zheng Mufeng's sleeve.

"Sir, you said Wenren Xunmi stole your jade pendant. How did you know it was hers?"

He stood up, put the hat in Zongzheng Mufeng's arms, took two steps forward, and stopped in front of the kneeling person.

"Of... Of course, I... I saw it with my own eyes."

"Oh, you saw it with your own eyes. Could you please tell me in detail what happened?"

Stuttering, evasive eyes, stiff expression, clicking...

The most important thing is that he said that I stole his jade pendant but he didn’t recognize me. It was really funny.

Li Zhu was complaining in his heart, but he had to keep a straight face.

"Yesterday, I was walking on the road when I suddenly saw a group of people coming."

"I'll make way for you. The leading woman nodded and smiled at me as I approached."

"I didn't react at the time and was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until the group of people disappeared that I realized my jade pendant was missing."

"I searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so I had no choice but to come and report it to the police."

The more I spoke, the more I felt that what I said was right, and gradually I became more confident.

A dark glint flashed in Xunmi's eyes: "So, you have seen the true face of that woman."

"I know her name, but why would you suspect Wenren of searching for her when you discovered the jade pendant was missing?"

"Instead of going to look for her, you came to report to the police?"

Letting such a stupid person come out to take the blame, do you think she is not smart enough or that there is something wrong with her brain?

Guan Shengqing's face had become stiff; this scene was doomed to fail.

Every word Wenren Xunmi said was a trap, but Li Zhu jumped straight down and didn't let go of any of them.

This person can no longer be saved, and what he has to think about now is how to clear himself.

The prince is now under house arrest. Nangong is just a businessman. He has no position, and his father's position is not very high either.

There is absolutely no chance of winning against Prince An and the Duke's Mansion.

How on earth did he get so dizzy and act so impulsively at that time?

The seeds of doubt are slowly planted, waiting for the day when they will sprout.

Li Zhu, who was being questioned by Xunmi, didn't notice anything wrong and answered Xunmi's questions very seriously.

"Wenren Xunmi has such a bad reputation. Aren't I worried that she won't admit it?"

"Reporting directly to the police is the best option."

Xunmi nodded in agreement and casually asked a seemingly insignificant question: "Do you know me?"

The man shook his head in confusion. When did he know this stunning beauty in front of him?

After getting the answer he wanted, Xunmi walked to the desk and tapped it lightly.

"My Lord, are you planning to have a love affair with the earth?"
