Shi Xuan glanced at the waist token, then put everything away. He whispered to the corpse of the man in black, "Now, she is my wife. No one can bully her without my permission!"
After saying that, he picked up one of the men in black by the leg and dragged him into the woodshed.
Two hens were sleeping on the woodpile, calmly and motionless.
Shi Xuan moved the broken urn that was placed in the corner of the woodshed.
Below, there was a bottomless cave.
He pushed the man in black down into the hole, and the man quickly disappeared through it. Then he moved the broken urn back into the hole.
Finally, he washed himself clean using the water from the large water tank in the yard.
After confirming that there was no smell of blood or any other odor, Shi Xuan staggered back into the house, still seemingly sleepwalking.
Mu Run was hugging a hand warmer, completely unaware that someone had just been murdered while she was sleeping!
When the sun was high in the sky, Mu Run, having had a good sleep, opened his eyes.
But then they saw Shi Xuan with dark circles under his eyes, sweeping the roof with a broom. He was tall enough to reach the roof while standing on a chair.
Still half asleep, I asked, "Up so early?"
"..." It's getting late.
"I'll clean the roof."
"I forgot to tell you, I scanned it yesterday. Could you teach me to read?" Mu Run was still worried about being illiterate.
Shi Xuan said, "I'm afraid that won't work. I have to go hunting with the prince, which will probably take three to five days."
"Yes, this is an urgent matter. By the way, do you know who I've offended?"
Shi Xuan remained silent for a longer time this time. "Why do you ask that?"
"Because I have amnesia. What if I run into an enemy I don't recognize? Wouldn't that be terrible?"
She slept well that night, and completely ruled out any suspicion that he and Xiao Su had a grudge.
The look in his eyes when he first saw her was hard to ignore. Even after he revealed her unexpected identity, that gaze that shouldn't have been there remained inexplicable.
"I haven't been in the manor for long, so I don't know much." Shi Xuan got off the chair and put down the broom he was sweeping the roof.
"However, if you want to know about things in the Prince's mansion, you can ask the old man who manages the carriages; he knows a lot. As for what happened before you entered the Prince's mansion, it's best to go back to the Yan residence and find your family; they know more about it."
"I understand. Is there anything else?"
Shi Xuan hesitated for a moment, then uttered three words, "Also, you're beautiful!"
"……ah?"
Shi Xuan said seriously, "Besides being pleasing to the eye, beauty can also attract trouble."
"You mean to say that the prince has taken a liking to me, right?" Mu Run didn't beat around the bush. "As a result, the princess became jealous and married me off to you. You've really landed a hot potato."
"Yes," Shi Xuan said helplessly, "I'm just a lowly steward with little influence. For the sake of peace in the future, you shouldn't be too conspicuous in the manor."
Mu Run suddenly laughed, her beautiful eyes exuding an irresistible charm. "No way. It's not my fault I'm beautiful, and besides, you'll have a beautiful wife, won't you be more proud to talk about it? Hmm~ it's settled then. From now on, I'll put on makeup every day and dress myself up beautifully. If I don't go out, fine, but if I do, I'll definitely dazzle everyone!"
It would be best to let the murderer kill her again, so she won't have to go looking for him.
Looking at his alluring wife, Shi Xuan had a bad feeling!
The days ahead might be troublesome...
