"you......"

Luo Xuening was speechless for a moment. Long Moxun played a word game with her.

In half an hour, she solved a mystery, but was still rejected. Oh, life is so hard.

Although this maid was not the real murderer behind the murder, but just an assistant, she did find out the real murderer of Lord Liu's murder. Moreover, she found out that the maid had poisoned Gu Hang, which cleared him of the wrong name.

The remaining matters are related to the Liu family and also to the Gu family. The real culprit is not so easy to investigate. How could Long Moxun set such high requirements for her?

Even the emperor, when he gave Long Moxun the order, didn't he give him three days? Why is she considered incompetent?

Luo Xuening originally had a lot to say, but her words finally froze in her throat. She was a little tired.

"Why, you don't say anything, do you think I have wronged you?"

Long Moxun's voice was still faint, but it made Luo Xuening frown involuntarily, thinking that she was being wronged.

Luo Xuening continued to remain silent, and Long Moxun suddenly felt that this silent Luo Xuening was not as interesting as the Luo Xuening who was confronting him head-on. As if he was in the mood, he continued to hit her slowly.

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this case was actually a trap set up for Gu Hang by the people behind the scenes. What you said about finding the murderer was just a trick you played with me. Do you still have the nerve to feel wronged?"

"Prince Jing, if you have something to say, just say it. If you are dissatisfied with me, just say it directly. Can you avoid personal attacks?"

"I never make personal attacks on useless people."

"......"

Look at what he said, as if even if the high and mighty Prince Jing slapped you, you should still be grateful to him. This is really a bastard logic.

Luo Xue Ning gritted her teeth and finally spoke: "If the prince thinks that I did not do a good job, then fine, I will not shirk this case. I will definitely find out who framed General Gu, but now, can I go back?"

"Let Wu take you back and have some rest. Tomorrow the king will send someone to pick you up to meet Lord Gu."

Luo Xue Ning "......"

I thought this guy had a change of heart, but it turns out he is still exploiting people without paying the price.

She shook her hands but did not refuse. Ever since she witnessed Wu's superb martial arts, she had been full of respect for the martial arts of that era. She knew that her mediocre skills were not good enough in front of others, so what reason did she have to refuse someone else's escort?

"Wu, go back and tell your master that you don't have to pick me up tomorrow. I am an honest person, unlike some people who love to write empty promises."

With a stern face, he was thinking whether he should tell the prince: "Miss Luo, what is a bad check?"

Luo Xuening blinked mysteriously, and her bright eyes moved around Wu's body, making Wu a little stiff: "You can ask your prince about this question."

Wu looked at Luo Xue Ning in confusion. Why did he feel that Luo Xue Ning was provoking their prince again?

"Miss Luo, I will tell the prince about this, but I still want to kindly remind you not to try to anger the prince."

Although Wu had not been with Luo Xuening for a long time, he had witnessed Luo Xuening escape from the cruel prince several times.

This is a dangerous thing, and Luo Xuening herself may not be able to sense it, but they, as servants, are nervous all the time. Wu feels that he needs to remind Luo Xuening.

Luo Xue Ning just shook her head nonchalantly: "Do you think I am trying to anger your prince? I am clearly teaching him how to behave."

After Luo Xue Ning finished speaking, she was too lazy to pay attention to Wu's stiff expression. Anyway, she knew that Wu would never dare to tell their prince what followed.

Since we can't deal with Prince Jing openly, it's okay to just scold him behind his back.

Alas, Luo Xue Ning couldn't help but sigh, she had traveled to another world. She was really living more and more miserable. Who said that this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak?

In the night light of Prince Jing's Mansion, Wu stood trembling in front of Long Moxun, his dark eyes scanning Long Moxun's indifferent face uncertainly. Every time the prince made such a deep expression, he felt weak.

"She said that I gave her a bad check. What does that mean?"

"Well, Miss Luo said that the prince can guess it himself." Wu was obviously dodging when he spoke, not daring to raise his head to look at his own prince.

"What else did she say?"

"No, no more."

He trembled and did not dare to tell Long Moxun Luo Xuening's last words, otherwise, he would be the first one to suffer.

Long Moxun was silent, pursing his lips slightly, trying hard to think about what Luo Xuening meant by the blank check. This woman, his ideas are always different from others.

After a while, Long Moxun slammed the cup in his hand heavily on the table. He knew that this woman Luo Xuening would not say anything good about him. The empty promise was an accusation that Prince Jing was getting something for nothing.

"Wu, I will personally go to pick up Luo Xue Ning tomorrow."

"......yes"

Wu touched his head, looking completely stupid. Was it because he had misunderstood, or was Miss Luo too smart? He originally thought that Miss Luo was secretly cursing the prince again.

Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be the case. It was obvious that Miss Luo was flirting with the prince, which made the usually aloof prince actually personally welcome a woman for the first time.

It’s so clever, really so clever. We should learn Miss Luo’s “sweet talk”. Next time when we make the prince angry, we can give it a try. Maybe the prince will calm down.

......

Day 2

Long Moxun was wearing a black robe and standing upright in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

I don't know why the prince showed up at the gate of my mansion so early in the morning. At this moment, I have to go to the palace to attend court."

This Long Moxun goes to court for three days fishing and two days drying the nets. He can go or not, and the emperor won't say anything.

However, Prime Minister Luo could not be so willful. Therefore, when he saw a door god standing here early in the morning, he was more frightened than surprised.

"I am here to look for Luo Xue Ning."

Lord Prince Jing always had a low voice and an arrogant tone, which made Prime Minister Luo frown.

"Your Majesty, Ning'er already has an engagement. You are waiting for her here so early in the morning. Isn't that likely to arouse suspicion?"

What Prime Minister Luo said was already explicit enough. In the country of Nanshao, where men and women are strictly prohibited from being separated, isn't Prince Jing's behavior exposing his own daughter to the spit of others?

However, Long Moxun raised his eyebrows lightly, still looking nonchalant: "I didn't do anything to her."

"Yes, you didn't do anything, but if this matter gets out, wouldn't outsiders say that my Luo family has a bad family tradition?"

Prime Minister Luo was getting a little anxious. It was not that he was not afraid of the notorious Prince Jing, he just simply did not want his daughter to get into such trouble.

"Oh, Prime Minister Luo, do you think that the Luo family has a good family tradition?"

Long Moxun glanced and saw Prime Minister Luo's pale face. Long Moxun curled his lips and said contemptuously.

"Besides, I want to see who dares to spread my gossip while I am here."

"......"

Prime Minister Luo can say that others certainly dare not spread gossip about you, Lord Prince Jing, but they dare to spread gossip about the Luo family and Ning'er.

"Dad, aren't you going to court today?"

Just as Prime Minister Luo was feeling embarrassed, a pretty figure slowly walked towards them, accompanied by Luo Xue Ning's gentle voice.

Because Prime Minister Luo's body had blocked Long Moxun, Luo Xue Ning did not see the person in front of Prime Minister Luo clearly. Until she walked closer and saw Long Moxun's deep eyes, her pretty face suddenly showed some annoyance.

"Your Highness, didn't I tell you that you don't have to pick me up today?" Luo Xuening's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.

"You said you wouldn't come, so why not? When did I ever listen to you?"

“.......”

Long Moxun's words made Luo Xuening feel ashamed. She lowered her head, enduring the pain in silence, just like her father, Prime Minister Luo.

Prime Minister Luo watched the interaction between the two and felt warm in his heart. When did these two people hide their contact from him?

"Ning'er, are you...are you familiar with the prince?"

“Unfamiliar”

“Unfamiliar”

The two denied it in unison, and the moment they looked at each other, their eyes were clearly filled with disgust, so synchronized.

Prime Minister Luo immediately realized that the relationship between these two people was obviously unusual, and immediately said with a stern face: "Ning'er, tell me what's going on?"

In Luo Xuening's memory, Prime Minister Luo was really a very friendly person. Usually when he frowned at her, it meant that she would be punished according to the family rules.

Luo Xuening called out weakly and was about to explain, but she heard Long Moxun speak indifferently.

"Prime Minister Luo, it's almost time to go to court."

"......"

Long Moxun, you clearly did this on purpose.

"Okay, Luo Xue Ning, wait for me. I will come back to listen to your explanation after Dad finishes his court session."

Luo Xuening breathed a sigh of relief, raised her eyes slightly, and saw Long Moxun's leisurely face at a glance.

"No need to thank me, Your Majesty."

"...thank you."

Luo Xuening didn't curse in the end. She only now understood that she couldn't beat this guy in terms of strength, and in terms of cunningness, this guy could kill her in a second.

Oh, it's so disheartening.
