Su Xinyi looked at Yan Congjia, sneered, stretched out her hand to push Shang Junyan aside, and took a step forward.

Yan Congjia was shocked by Su Xinyi's murderous eyes, and immediately took a step back in fear.

Su Xinyi said, "You are so bold that you dare to make up rumors about me in front of me. You are really a talent."

Yan Congjia recovered and his face turned black because of Su Xinyi's words, "Why, Miss Su Liu is guilty? Did I say it right, and you are angry and want to hit someone?"

"I'm just curious, which eye of yours, Master Yan, saw me pestering Shang Junyan? You are blind at such a young age. This is not good." Su Xinyi stared at Yan Congjia. Although this man is a glutton, a whore, a gambler, and a smoker, he always pretends to be good in front of others, like a gentleman, but he is very dark in private.

"Sixth Miss Su, you should be gentler as a girl. Although you are from the countryside and don't understand these things, you still have to save face in public. I won't bother with you. I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said before..."

"Don't pretend that you didn't hear it. I always stick to my words." Su Xinyi took another step forward with a big smile on her face, "You said I was pestering Shang Junyan, where is the evidence?"

"What evidence do you need? You have followed me here, isn't this evidence?" Yan Congjia felt that Su Xinyi was really too shameless. How could a girl be so shameless.

As he was talking, the bamboo curtain was lifted up again, and Jiang Mozhou came out from inside. It was obvious that he heard the noise outside and came out to see.

As soon as he came out, he heard Yan Congjia's words, and then he heard Yan Congjia ask him, "Mozhou, do you think I'm right?"

Jiang Mozhou's eyes flashed. Although he had no intersection with this Miss Su Liu, her recent reputation was really too big, and he knew that Su Baiwei and Qin Guogong's mansion had done a good thing.

Such a tough person dared to force Qin Guogong's mansion to give in and divorce with Su Yi. He didn't seem to be a brainless person.

In addition, Qin Guogong's mansion was hesitant to cover up, but Jiang Mozhou guessed that Qi Guogong's mansion should have obtained evidence of Qi Guogong, and this evidence was very subtle.

I don't know how much Su Xinyi and the others know.

Jiang Mozhou just wanted to test the depth of this Su Liu girl. Taking advantage of Yan Congjia's words, he immediately looked up at her with a bit of helplessness and friendliness in his eyes, "I have heard of the name of the Sixth Girl for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet the Sixth Girl here."

Su Xinyi thought of the business that Jiang Mozhou and his mother did with Ma Rude. How could someone who made such a dirty money be a gentleman?

She didn't want to save face for the other party at all.

"Second Master Jiang is really good at talking. It's really thanks to your family. If I had drowned in your pond with a mouthful of water, not to mention today, you would only hear my name in this life."

Jiang Mozhou:...

Is it so choking?

Jiang Mozhou looked at Su Xinyi and wrote down the first one. This person is a master who will take revenge for any grudge, and even he was implicated. It was obviously the mistake of her stepmother that she fell into the water, and now she wants to drag him into the water, and she will take revenge for every grudge.

Such a person is not easy to provoke. If you provoke him, he will bite you like a mad dog.

Jiang Mozhou felt that it was a bit troublesome, but it was not impossible to save it. He immediately said, "Mother has always blamed herself for what happened back then. Fortunately, the Sixth Miss is safe and sound, otherwise..." He sighed, "After all, our palace owes the young lady this matter. If the young lady has any errands in the future, just tell me."

Su Xinyi remembered the disgust of Princess Dongli towards Concubine An and her son, and deliberately raised her eyebrows and said, "Can the Second Young Master Jiang still be the master of the palace after saying this? I will definitely ask the Crown Prince Jiang another day. If this is true, I will not be polite."

Su Xinyi is not a person who distinguishes between legitimate and illegitimate children. To be honest, she is also a concubine, but she can't stand some people who can't put themselves in the right position and pretend to be a big wolf.

Jiang Mozhou:...

I have never seen such a good at spoiling things. Su Xinyi did it on purpose, right?

Shang Junyan suddenly felt comfortable. Seeing others doubting their lives because of Su Xinyi's criticism, he couldn't get angry. When he compared himself, he seemed to feel comfortable all of a sudden.

He just didn't expect that Su Xinyi had such a sharp heart under her gentle appearance in her previous life.

For such a person, to fit into the Beijing ladies, she must break her hands, feet and wings and stuff them into the mold that everyone praises. She must be very uncomfortable, right?

Shang Junyan didn't know why he suddenly felt uncomfortable. He couldn't imagine how she had endured such pain for so many years.

Shang Junyan's brain twitched, and he suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pull Su Xinyi back, and said to Yan Congjia and Jiang Mozhou: "The sixth lady and I have something to talk about. Please go ahead."

Su Xinyi: Hmm?

Is this guy crazy?

What is there to talk about between them? Are they going to talk about how they killed each other in their previous life?

This is a bit bloody.

Jiang Mozhou looked at Shang Junyan defending Su Xinyi like this, thinking that it seemed wrong for Yan Shizi to say that Su Xinyi chased Shang Junyan. What is the relationship between these two people?

I heard that last time on the court of the Prince of Guangping's mansion, Su Xinyi pressed Shang Junyan to beat him. Could it be that Shang Junyan liked this? You can't judge a person by his appearance.

Yan Congjia's face was very ugly. Everyone knew the things between the two families. Although they couldn't get married openly now, it was very likely that Shang Junyan would have to marry a wife first to block other people's eyes, but in the end he would marry his own sister.

Is it appropriate for him to treat Su Xinyi like this now?

"Why is it so lively today? Everyone is in a good mood."

Su Xinyi turned her head to look at the stairs, and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walking up the wooden stairs slowly.

The Crown Prince suddenly appeared, and everyone rushed forward to greet him. Su Xinyi was a step slower, but she also knelt down and saluted.

"Don't be restrained when you are out, everyone, please don't be polite." Yan Junchu said with a smile, and his eyes looked at Su Xinyi standing behind Shang Junyan, and his fingers holding the folding fan gently tapped the fan bones.

"Your Highness, are you here to listen to the opera as well?" Jiang Mozhou immediately started chatting with a smile, "If Your Highness doesn't mind, please step into the box."

Yan Congjia also came back to his senses and immediately invited the prince to sit down. It was rare to get to spend time with the prince in the same room. Their crown prince was like a god in the sky, and it was rare for him to come down to earth.

Shang Junyan felt something was wrong. He always felt that the prince and Su Xinyi had bumped into each other too many times.

Obviously, in the last life, these two people had very few interactions. Why did it change now?

Yan Junchu smiled but didn't say anything, but his eyes looked at Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi was a little confused. What did she mean by looking at her?

"Your Highness, today we sisters and friends came out to listen to the opera for a small gathering. There are only female relatives over there, so we won't invite you over. It's inconvenient." Su Xinyi refused directly. It was a joke. If the prince went over to sit, what opera would they listen to and what would they talk about.

Su Xinyi felt a little uncomfortable after saying this, and looked at Yan Congjia and smiled: "Prince Yan, I'm really sorry, you see, we are just friends gathering together, not like you said, I came here to chase after Prince Shang, slandering my reputation, do you want to apologize to me?"

She wanted to apologize to her in front of the prince, and she was sure that Yan Congjia would not dare to say anything, and pressed his head to apologize to her.

Using the situation to pressure others, anyway, the prince is a good person, and she is not an accomplice to the tiger, so he will definitely not mind her borrowing it.

Jiang Mozhou made another note in his heart, Miss Su Liu not only retaliates for the slightest grievance, but also pays in this life.

This person is not easy to provoke, and you can't provoke her without absolute certainty.

If you miss a strike, you will be counterattacked.

Shang Junyan lowered his eyes slightly, and suddenly smiled. Yes, Su Xinyi had been married to him for so many years, and she had never been able to get along with his mother and sister. Even if she put herself into the mold, she would not break her bones. As long as she was given a chance, she would fight back.

Thinking about the miserable end of his previous life, and looking at Su Xinyi's sharp appearance now, he would definitely hate her like this with his temperament, but now he suddenly felt that it was a blessing to live so happily.

Yan Junchu's eyes slowly retracted from Shang Junyan's body, and then looked at Su Xinyi again, always feeling that there was an inexplicable connection between the two.

Obviously mutually exclusive, but closely connected.

Very weird, but very harmonious.

He didn't like it very much.

The most embarrassed person present was Yan Congjia. How dare Su Xinyi in front of the prince?

Just as he was thinking about how to quibble, the bamboo curtain opposite was also lifted up, and Su Baiwei brought her sisters and Miss Jiang out. They didn't want to show up. Xinyi could handle it before, and they didn't want to cause trouble, but now in front of His Royal Highness, they must stand up to testify for Xinyi that they did come out together.

Su Baiwei led everyone to pay respect to the prince, and after the ceremony, she looked at Yan Congjia, "Prince Yan, I brought my sisters out today to have a small gathering with Miss Jiang, but I don't know how you misunderstood me like this. The reputation of a girl cannot tolerate the slightest flaw, please apologize to my little six."

Yan Congjia: ...

Did he run into a tigress today?

The situation was pressing, and Yan Congjia didn't care about that little face. The important thing was not to let His Royal Highness have any misunderstandings about him, so he immediately smiled and said, "I misunderstood Miss Six, please forgive me."

He didn't have much sincerity, but Su Xinyi didn't want his sincerity, just wanted him to bow his head and admit his mistakes.

"I hope that next time, Prince Yan will see clearly before speaking, so that everyone won't have disputes due to misunderstandings again." Su Xinyi said.

"That's right, there will definitely not be such misunderstandings in the future." Yan Congjia said with a smile, his face twisted with anger. How stupid is he to stretch his face out for you to slap next time?

Shang Junyan always felt awkward with the prince. After all, he assisted Prince Rong in his previous life and often opposed the prince. Although he did not intend to get involved in the dispute over the crown prince in this life, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

He looked at Su Xinyi and others and said, "Since the misunderstanding has been clarified, I will not disturb you six girls to listen to the opera."

Su Xinyi was also a little uncomfortable, so she nodded and looked at the prince and said, "If your highness has no other instructions, my sisters and I will take our leave."

Yan Junchu had that feeling again. Shang Junyan said the first sentence, and Su Xinyi could immediately follow up with the next sentence. The tacit understanding between the two was not that he had misjudged them.

"Others, please leave. I just have something to ask Su Liu, please come with me." Yan Junchu left this sentence and turned around and went downstairs.

Everyone: ...

Su Xinyi didn't think much about it, she just thought that His Highness might be worried about Wu Shun's case, she immediately looked at Su Baiwei, "Sister, you go back first, I'll be back soon."

Su Xinyi immediately chased the prince downstairs, leaving everyone staring with big eyes. They had nothing to say, so they dispersed.

Only Shang Junyan was upset. Why did Su Xinyi have to get involved with the prince just to repay his kindness?

The prince's kindness to her was just a few words, was it worthy of her caring so much?

Shang Junyan was depressed and did not want to deal with Yan Congjia and others anymore, so he immediately said goodbye and left.

Out of sight, out of mind, what does Su Xinyi have to do with him.

On the other hand, Su Xinyi followed the prince downstairs and found out that the prince had occupied the entire second floor. She felt a little bad instantly. She knew how the prince found her.

When she climbed from outside the wall to Shang Junyan's box, she happened to borrow a window from the second floor window. When she sat opposite the prince, she raised her head and could see clearly out of the window.

How can it be so small!

No wonder the prince wanted her to sit in this position!

Su Xinyi had a cute smile on her face. Climbing the wall was not a big deal, but eavesdropping was not a big deal, right?

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi's big eyes and felt funny in his heart. However, his face remained stern, and it was quite interesting to see the little girl fidgeting.

He just couldn't figure it out. Su Xinyi was quite confident when it came to others. When it was time to criticize or hit him, why was he so... so upright when facing him?

Yes, that's right.

"Your Highness asked me to come here because of Wu Shun's matter?" Su Xinyi couldn't sit still. She always felt that His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes made her a little confused, so she might as well take the initiative to ask.

Yan Junchu glanced at Su Xinyi, "Sixth Miss came to this theater, have you tasted this Jiangshan Gentleman Tea?"

Su Xinyi was just eavesdropping and had no time to drink tea. She could only laugh dryly and said, "I haven't drunk it yet."

Yan Junchu reached out and lifted the copper kettle placed on the small red clay stove. The scalding water fell into the teapot. With his jade-white fingers, he picked up the teacup with copper clips and scalded it in the boiling water. Then he placed the tea cup on the bamboo plate.

His Royal Highness's movements of making tea seem to have a rhythm that makes people sit here and watch without feeling bored at all.

Su Xinyi also learned how to make tea in her previous life. If you want to brew a good pot, you must have enough patience.

Appropriate water temperature can bring out the mellow fragrance of tea leaves and prevent the quality of tea leaves from being damaged.

This kind of elegant fun can only be played and learned by wealthy people. Making tea depends not only on the quality of the tea leaves, but also on the quality of the water and the tea utensils. All in all, what she learned when she learned it I suffered some hardships at that time.

Because I don’t understand why the water for making tea must be divided into different types, why the water temperature must be divided into high and low, and why tea utensils must be divided into different types. There are so many reasons, which are very unfriendly to someone who grew up eating game in the mountains.

But now, she could sit here and appreciate His Highness making tea, knowing the purpose of every step he took and what the next step would be.

A cup of tea was placed in front of her, and Su Xinyi also retracted her thoughts. She held the cup in one hand and held it in the other. She lowered her head slightly to take a sip and said with a smile: "Thank you for the tea, Your Highness."

Yan Junchu withdrew his eyes from Su Xinyi's hand holding the cup. He also picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then he said, "It's just a cup of tea. Why should Miss Six be so polite?"

Su Xinyi thought that no one in the world would dare to be rude to the prince except the emperor and empress.

After drinking a cup of tea, Su Xinyi thought about what the prince meant when he didn't answer her previous words.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the prince suddenly say: "What did Miss Six hear today?"

Su Xinyi:......

His Highness indeed saw it!

In this case, Su Xinyi had nothing to hide and said directly: "There is really a big event. Originally, I wanted to tell my elder brother when I returned home and ask him to tell His Highness. I didn't expect that His Highness would be here by such a coincidence."

When Yan Junchu heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Su Xinyi, "I thought Miss Six would not want others to know about your eavesdropping."

Su immediately said in his heart: "Why is Your Highness someone else?"

This is her benefactor!

Yan Junchu's hand holding the pot paused, and his eyes were filled with a smile, "That's right. It's hard to find someone like you in this capital who always meets me. You really don't need to see anyone outside."

That’s what he said, but why doesn’t it sound right?

Su Xinyi glanced at the prince. His highness was sitting opposite, with a clear light in his eyes. His posture was stretched, slender and straight. The breeze blew by, and his posture remained motionless. Only the hem of his clothes swayed gently in the wind. He was really a gentleman. Square, like beautiful jade.

Is she overthinking it?

How could a gentleman like His Highness secretly say that she always wants to have sex with him, right?

Well, she must be overthinking it!

As soon as Su Xinyi figured it out, she immediately straightened her posture. She was originally worried that Ma Rude's appearance this time would make Shang Junyan assist King Rong earlier than in the previous life. Now that His Highness is in front of her, of course she has to eavesdrop today. Everything must be told, His Highness cannot be left too far behind.

After Su Xinyi finished speaking, Yan Junchu also frowned slightly and remained silent.

The room suddenly became quiet. Seeing His Highness thinking, Su Xinyi did not interrupt His Highness's thoughts. He added charcoal to the clay stove. When the water boiled, he unknowingly started repeating the steps of making tea that the Prince had done before.

Everyone said that her father had a photographic memory, but she didn't know if that was true. Although she didn't have a photographic memory, she learned things very quickly, at least much faster than the average person.

If you recite an article, you can almost remember it after repeating it three or five times.

It only takes one or two days to recite a thin book.

When she was a child, she learned kung fu from her master. She could imitate the punches after one punch. She learned how to set traps to catch prey from the old hunters who went into the mountains. No matter how complicated the traps were, she could learn them. After using them several times, she could improve them herself.

Others praised her for her intelligence. She used to be very proud of herself. She was the most powerful kid in the whole village.

Yan Junchu was lost in thought when watching Su Xinyi brew tea. He didn't know what he remembered. His eyes were proud for a while, and then lost. Brewing tea seemed to brew out all the flavors of life.

Su Xinyi put the brewed tea in front of the prince, and then she found that the prince was looking at her. What's wrong? Did she brew it wrong?

Yan Junchu smiled at her suspicious eyes, took a sip from the cup, and then said: "Sixth Miss, this tea is just right. You have learned a good craft."

"My craft is so crude. I'm sorry to embarrass you, Your Highness." Su Xinyi didn't want to say this, and she felt a little guilty for some reason. "Your Highness, when can Wu Shun be released? Can his sister's case be vindicated?"

"Wu Shun can't be released for the time being. If he is released, it will harm him." Yan Junchu followed Su Xinyi's words and said, "From the information you heard today, this should be a big case."

Salt permits are related to the court and people's livelihood. Yan Junchu's eyes are slightly cold. At first, it was just to investigate the murder case. Who would have thought that so many things would be pulled out of one thread.

Thinking of this, he looked at Su Xinyi again. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid that the salt permit would not be found. After all, it was because of Su Baiwei's divorce that Qin Guogong was investigated, and Ma Rude behind it was found.

Her luck is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

"This matter involves a lot of things. Miss Six should also pay attention to safety when traveling. Because of your sister's divorce, you found that Ma Rude had a relationship with Duke Qin. It's hard to say what these people will do."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will be careful." Su Xinyi nodded. Who could have thought of this? She thought Wu Shun was as pitiful as herself at the beginning, and wanted to help her, but she didn't know that she would help out a shocking case.

This can't be blamed on her, right?

Su Xinyi always felt that she had lived again, and she seemed to have taken another path.

"Your Highness, should this case be investigated all the time?" Su Xinyi asked hesitantly. Although she was a woman, she also knew that once it involved salt and iron, it would be a major case that could shake the foundation of the country.

Moreover, seeing that Ma Rude and others dared to set a trap for Duke Qin, it can be seen that the person behind it must be not simple.

Yan Junchu glanced at Su Xinyi after hearing this, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's hard to say for now."

Su Xinyi was stunned. She didn't expect to get such an answer.

Yan Junchu rarely saw her stunned, so he smiled, "There is no black or white in this world. You will know it later."

Even the emperor, who is the highest in the world, sometimes has to take a step back.

However, when it comes to the foundation of the country, it must not be retreated, but how to investigate and how to close the case must be carefully considered.

Don't tell these to a little girl, it will only add to her troubles.

Su Xinyi was slightly silent after listening to the prince's words. Yes, the right and wrong of things in this world are not so clear. She herself is an example.

"If your highness has no other instructions, I will take my leave first." Su Xinyi stood up and said.

Yan Junchu stared at Su Xinyi and suddenly asked, "Does the Sixth Miss have an old grudge with the Shang Prince?"

Su Xinyi's heart skipped a beat and she immediately said, "Of course not."

"Really?"

Su Xinyi felt guilty when she heard the prince's words. She and Shang Junyan had more than an old grudge, but a life-and-death feud.

But the prince suddenly asked this. Did he discover something?

Did he reveal his true colors?
