Chapter 237 Make a Price
A guard suddenly ran in from outside and knelt down to report.
"Yes... it's Miss Hanxiang..."
When the maid heard this, she trembled even more violently.
The old lady snorted coldly.
"She knew she was going to die, and it seems she committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
The old lady's eyes were a little red.
Although in such a situation, anyone could betray her.
Ke Hanxiang and Xunxiang have been with me for almost ten years. They are the children I have watched grow up.
Surprisingly, he also betrayed himself...
Before she could feel sad, the guard said something that shocked everyone.
"Madam, Miss Hanxiang has been dead for at least ten hours..."
What! ! !
Everyone present was shocked!
Su Jiuyue's heart also trembled.
"Nonsense! Hanxiang was still here just now!"
The old lady shouted angrily.
The guard was also stunned when he heard this, but still spoke firmly.
"But judging from Miss Hanxiang's body, she was indeed killed last night..."
This scared everyone.
Lin Qingqing got goose bumps all over her body.
Without caring about anything else, he stepped forward and grabbed Su Jiuyue's arm.
Su Jiuyue sensed her fear and patted her hands gently.
"Don't be afraid. There is no such thing as supernatural power in this world."
Although her rebirth is quite mysterious.
But she still doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world!
Although I don't know what's wrong with it...
Bai Jinyan pondered for a moment and walked into the study.
"I have heard my father mention that there is a kind of disguise technique in the martial arts world that can change into someone else's appearance..."
Nangong Muchen frowned.
"Yan Mo Palace..."
He should have thought of it earlier!
The art of disguise is a compulsory course for the assassins in Yama Hall, and basically all the assassins in the Heavenly Palace know it.
The person behind this must have mobilized the power of Yama Palace.
"They first killed Hanxiang who was beside the old lady, disguised themselves as Hanxiang and lurked beside the old lady, then waited for an opportunity to assassinate Master Liu."
"After Master Liu is discovered, the old lady will definitely ask someone to call for a doctor, and she can leave the house with a clear conscience and retire with honor."
Good intentions, good means.
Madam Xie ordered in a deep voice.
"Go after him, tell Butler Liu to catch him!"
"Here."
The concierge responded and walked out.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Su Jiuyue decided not to stay any longer, so she and Lin Qingqing said goodbye to Old Madam Xie.
With such a big thing happening at home, it would be difficult for Old Madam Xie to stay any longer.
He just said that he would reward her handsomely after she finished handling the matter.
Naturally, the other guests also left the house one after another.
Nangong Muchen watched Su Jiuyue leave. Only Madam Xie and Xunxiang were left in the study.
Madam Xie sighed softly.
"The master originally had something to give you. It seems that they are really anxious."
Nangong Muchen looked at Madam Xie, waiting for her next words.
"As the martial arts instructor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I spend a lot of time with him."
"I noticed something was wrong with him and tried to persuade him, but he just ignored me and insisted on doing what he wanted."
"The master feels that something is wrong. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be so anxious, so the master has been grasping the hand behind the scenes for the past few years."
Nangong Muchen pursed his lips.
He has also been investigating this matter. Not only him, but that person is also looking for this person.
"Master, have you found this person?"
Madam Xie shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"It's not that easy."
"The master risked his life several times, but only managed to find some clues. A few days ago, he suddenly said that he had made a major discovery."
"But he said that it involved too many people and the consequences were beyond his ability to bear. That's why he wanted to hand the things over to the prince. But he didn't expect that it was too late..."
Nangong Muchen frowned.
"Old Madam, do you know what Master Liu wants to give me?"
The old lady shook her head.
"He said the fewer people who knew about this, the safer it would be. Even for me, he didn't dare to say anything."
"Your Highness will have to wait until the Master wakes up before asking him in detail..."
Nangong Muchen nodded, feeling a little worried.
He had to wait for Master Liu to wake up and regain consciousness.
But something was really strange about Zhou Jin, which made him worried.
Old Madam Xie was thinking about Liu Ruyan and Master Liu, and left the study after she finished speaking.
Nangong Muchen said to the darkness.
"Ask Liuyun to go to Xiangshan and check if there is any trace of General Zhou."
"Here."
The shadow guard did not show up, but only responded with one sentence.
Nangong Muchen felt the air tremble and knew that he was gone.
Then he left the study and went to the backyard.
He wanted to confirm whether it was the work of Yama Hall.
……
As soon as Su Jiuyue and Lin Qingqing walked out of Liu Mansion, Bai Jinyan followed them.
"Sister Lin, Miss Su, wait for me, let's go together."
The two stopped.
Bai Jinyan caught up with the two and took a deep breath.
"Today was really horrible. I didn't expect to encounter something like this."
Bai Jinyan is born gentle and beautiful, and her look of fear makes people want to protect her.
Lin Qingqing held Su Jiuyue with one hand and pulled her with the other.
"Sister Bai, don't be afraid, we will take you back."
Bai Jinyan's brows finally relaxed a little.
"Thank you so much, I'm a little scared to be alone."
Su Jiuyue smiled and let Lin Qingqing pull her forward.
Several people were walking side by side, and Bai Jinyan suddenly thought of something and spoke.
"Miss Su, I just heard you guys talking about attracting butterflies. Is it a new fragrance?"
"Just now, the ladies present were all asking about this. Is there really a scented dew that can attract butterflies?"
Bai Jin's tone was full of curiosity.
Lin Qingqing chuckled.
"This is the scented lotion that Yueyue developed herself. Isn't it amazing, Sister Bai?"
Bai Jinyan opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"What? Miss Su did her own research? Seriously?"
Lin Qingqing nodded, with a smile on her face.
"Really? Just spray this butterfly attractant on your body, and soon butterflies will be attracted by the scent and fly around you. It's really pretty, and the scent is really nice!"
Lin Qingqing became interested when she talked about this fragrant dew.
"Sister Bai, you have always liked collecting all kinds of perfumes. I guess you have never seen such an amazing one!"
Bai Jinyan was fascinated by what she said.
"If there really is such a fragrance, it would be a pity not to have it... I wonder which shop has Miss Su's fragrance consigned for sale?"
Su Jiuyue stopped and smiled faintly.
“Never consigned.”
Bai Jinyan felt a little regretful.
Su Jiuyue took out a bottle of perfume from her sleeve and placed it in Bai Jinyan's hand.
"However, I bought the shop just to do this business. If Miss Bai likes it, I'll give it to you."
Bai Jinyan hurriedly wanted to return.
"No merit, no reward. Miss Su, you better name a price."
Su Jiuyue smiled faintly and dodged.
"Miss Bai, just consider it as a favor I'm doing you. If I take a fancy to your shop tomorrow, you can't ask for an exorbitant price from me."
Su Jiuyue made a joke, and Bai Jinyan stopped refusing.
The two of them sent Bai Jinyan to the inn where she was staying before returning to the Liu Mansion.
On the way, Lin Qingqing suddenly looked at Su Jiuyue and said something from the bottom of her heart.
"Yueyue, I noticed that you carry a lot of things when you go out. Are your sleeves heavy?"
Su Jiuyue:……
Yama Temple.
It was still the woman with her face covered in white, leaning casually on the couch.
Below, a woman was kneeling.
