The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 775 Become the Target

She pieced together the gossip she had heard in the inn and began to talk. She got stuck in the middle of her speech: "…What was it called?"

"Mr. Jin." Meng Shisan knew it clearly and continued the conversation without hesitation.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Jing nodded fiercely and asked again, "Do you know about this?"

Logically speaking, the Second Prince's private residence outside the palace was murdered, and it was not the entire family, but just a few hundred retainers. If the person involved did not make it public, the murderer would not make it public either. And he was the son of the current emperor, so few people would know about it.

She guessed that there were probably only a few people who knew about it.

But according to what she thought, the eldest lady of the Meng family in front of her should not be among them.

Even though Meng Tianguan and Minister Meng had gotten some news, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace also knew something about it, but they were unlikely to tell a girl like Miss Meng. So she came here to do a favor in exchange for a good life in the capital.

Now it looks like... it's broken?

"I've heard a little bit about it." Meng Shisan certainly knew that it was she who did it. "Not only Mr. Jin, but all the other guests were killed. In the entire mansion, only the servants who were guarding the house survived."

shattered.

Huang Jing's smile disappeared: "You know it so clearly...then do you know who did it?"

Meng Shisan smiled and avoided the question: "Why did you come to visit today?"

“Hahaha…” Huang Jing smiled awkwardly, then restrained his smile and pleaded sincerely, “My mortal enemy and I had a fight in a small inn, and destroyed many tables and chairs in the inn’s lobby, and lost a lot of money… I traveled all the way to Beijing, and my travel expenses were almost gone. After this loss, I have no money left…”

She spoke softly and softly, until in the end her voice was as soft as the buzz of a mosquito.

She looked ashamed and felt a little embarrassed.

But Meng Shisan did not feel ashamed. Instead, she felt a sense of familiarity. She thought about how she had been in such a tight spot when she first entered the society. Huang Jing in front of her was in the same situation as her, so she had to help him a little.

So Meng Shisan turned his head and told Tong Yu, "Go back to the courtyard to find Shangchun and ask Shangchun to take out some of my private money..."

"No, no, no!" Before Meng Shisan finished speaking, Huang Jing heard that Meng Shisan wanted to give her money, and quickly stood up to stop him, "That's not what I meant! I'm not here to ask for money!"

Meng Shisan was puzzled: "So you are here..."

"Stay overnight." Huang Jing felt that he was quite thick-skinned at the moment.

Tong Yu inside the hall and housekeeper Chu outside the hall felt the same way. They were blatantly coming to the door to eat and stay for free.

Meng Shisan did not refuse Huang Jing's request, and asked Butler Chu to report to Shang. Shang asked Butler Chu about Meng Shisan's attitude. After knowing that Meng Shisan agreed to Huang Jing living in Taichen Courtyard, Shang also nodded.

In Shang's mind, she thought that Huang Jing was probably a friend her niece met in the street, and she also thought that she was just a female guest, and it would not be inconvenient for her to live in her niece's courtyard in the back house, so she agreed.

In Meng Shisan's mind, her idea was simpler. She just wanted to see why the descendant of the demon-slayer had to live with her.

As for Huang Jing, her goal was achieved and she didn't care at all what others thought of her or saw her. She lived in an empty room in the east wing of Taichen Courtyard, which was just opposite to the west wing where Shangchun lived. Both rooms were north rooms.

She was very satisfied with this, as happy as a bird that got what it wanted. She chirped beside Meng Shisan and enthusiastically expressed her gratitude to Meng Shisan for taking her in.

When Chang'an found out, it was Shangchun who told her, but by then it had already become a foregone conclusion.

Huang Jing went back to the north room of the east wing to adjust to the situation. Then Chang An came to Ming Xiao Hall and asked Meng Shisan, "Why did Miss agree so easily?"

Shangchun echoed from the side: "I also think that the young lady agreed too easily."

Tongyu stood like a pillar, she didn't dare to express her opinion. After all, she was not the young lady's precious jewels and gold and silver, she didn't have the courage to do so.

Meng Shisan knew that Chang'an and Shangchun were so outspoken because they were worried that Huang Jing would plot against her, so she comforted them and said, "It's okay, just wait and see."

Chang'an and Shangchun looked at each other, and they both understood something at the same time, and looked at Tongyu at the same time.

Tongyu understood instantly, walked out quickly, and stood guard under the corridor outside the hall.

The next words probably couldn't be heard by anyone else. She had to keep watch and not let any outsiders get close. The newly moved in Master Huang was the number one outsider.

Chang An turned his gaze back to Meng Shisan and tried to ask, "Miss, do you think she came here with a purpose?"

"She is a Taoist nun who specializes in capturing demons. She said she came to the capital for a visit, but in fact she has other purposes. Is she here for the young lady?" Shangchun also speculated.

"She said she had run out of money and had to pay the inn for a fight with her mortal enemy. She had no money left. I gave her money but she refused and just wanted to move in." Meng Shisan analyzed Huang Jing's words to her word by word. "In addition, she mentioned the large mansion on Houfu Street outside the Second Prince's Palace. She didn't tell anyone but came to the Meng Mansion to see me and told me all this in front of me."

She smiled lightly: "She is acting so innocent, whether it is true or just a show in front of me, I will play along with her and see how long she can act."

"Does she know that it was the young lady who killed all the hundreds of guests in the second prince's private residence?" Chang'an extracted this implication from Meng Shisan's words.

Shang Chunmei's heart skipped a beat. She knew about this matter. It was the young lady who told her about it after she came back from Chang'an. But when she heard it again, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

The young lady took Chang'an and Ma Lao to the second prince's private residence. The three of them attacked together. She did not see it with her own eyes, but through Chang'an's description, she could imagine the scene of corpses everywhere in the yard.

It was impossible to say that she was not touched, but it was also impossible to say that she was afraid of it.

Because she knew in her heart that the people the young lady killed were those who deserved to die.

Besides, she understood more clearly that as a daughter of the Meng family, if the young lady did not stand on her own feet, she would not be able to survive in the future.

Meng Shisan said calmly, "It doesn't matter whether she knows or not. What matters is, if she really knows, why did she come to the Meng Mansion to get close to me?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Chang'an with eyes mixed with his intentions.

I didn’t understand Shangchun, but I understood Changan instantly.

Huang Jing is a demon-slayer, but in the Meng Mansion, the young lady is a demon with a human body, and she is a complete locust demon. There is also a silver fox with a beast body and a demon with a soul, a little cricket that the young lady keeps in the soil and feeds with demonic energy, a little grass carp that is kept in a water tank and has also eaten the young lady's demonic energy, and a water snake that is still in the East Palace to protect the prince, and so on.

...will all become the target of Huang Jing, the demon hunter.
