Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 340 Jealousy
Su Jiu took two steps back.

She stared at the man in front of her guardedly, "They can hide the corpse in the vegetable cart, or they can—"

"A joke!" Yuan Xu interrupted her, "The guards who check the entrance and exit of Xu's mansion are my confidantes, they will never make such a simple mistake! Miss Su, you are a girl, why worry about such things ? It’s also the age to discuss marriage, why not think about your own marriage..."

The man grinned and approached maliciously.

Su Jiu kept backing away.

"Xiao's residence is a noble family, but for many years there has never been a concubine or the like. Miss Su is quiet and gentle. I can see that being a side concubine is more than enough. If it is a marriage, your sister Xiao Huiran is also considered A relative of the emperor, as my sister-in-law, I will naturally let her go..."

The gentle and elegant prince completely tore off his disguise.

He stared at Su Jiu as if staring at a shivering prey.

The old lady of the Xiao family is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and holds the real power. If she can marry the daughter of the Xiao family, the power of the East Palace will be raised to a higher level.

What's more, Su Jiu is indeed beautiful, which suits his taste very much.

Facing Yuan Xu's conditions, Su Jiu suddenly sneered.

She raised her eyes, her eyes were filled with brilliance, "Everyone in the world praises the prince for being elegant and dignified, self-denying and respectful, but I didn't expect that the prince is not like that. Seeing is believing, and hearing is not."

Yuan Xu smiled and approached her more and more, "I heard that Jiangnan Sujiu is as beautiful as a lotus, and his fragrance is superb. I actually saw it, but I think it is even more brilliant than the rumors..."

Su Jiu leaned his back against the wall.

She suddenly pulled out the silver hairpin.

Yuan Xu laughed, "You want to assassinate Bengong? Do you dare?"

"I don't dare to kill Your Highness, but I dare to kill myself." The sharp tip of the hairpin touched his throat, and Su Jiu also laughed, "It takes a lot of effort to cultivate the reputation of gentleness, prudence, self-restraint and respect for etiquette, right? In the prince's study, I don't know what other people will say about His Highness?"

Yuan Xu raised his eyebrows.

He didn't think Su Jiu had the courage to commit suicide.

What she said was just a way to threaten him.

but--

The tip of the hairpin pierced into the skin suddenly, and bright red blood beads immediately appeared on the fair and slender neck.

Su Jiu didn't seem to feel the pain, "Everyone knows that Xiao Huiran was framed. His Highness letting her go will be of great benefit to your reputation."

Yuan Xu glanced at her neck.

The drops of blood meandered and slid down, against the snow-white skin, it was particularly eye-catching.

He said indifferently: "Xiao Huiran was arrested by the order of this palace. If you let him go, let him go. Isn't this palace very embarrassing?"

Su Jiu closed his eyes.

In my mind, countless clues criss-crossed, gradually pointing to an answer.

Soon, she opened her eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, the murderer is a member of the puppet troupe. There are thick calluses on the index fingers and tiger's mouth of the troupe master and those old masters, which are the marks left by holding the knife for a long time. They Dressing up the female corpse as a puppet can easily avoid the eyes and ears of the mansion and transport it out of the mansion. In addition, they are burly and tall, and they are likely to be from Beiliang. The puppet troupe is still in the city, and His Highness is sending troops to catch it now, there is still time."

Yuan Xu's mind moved slightly.

"If Your Highness thinks what I said is reasonable, can you let me and Xiao Huiran go?"

Yuan Xu personally brought the hemostatic medicine for Su Jiu, "Look at Miss Su's words, how can a man of seven feet tall in my palace embarrass two weak women? But, the reasoning just now..."

Su Jiu cleaned up his wounds, "The prince's inference just now was extraordinarily clever and he deduced it by himself. I don't know anything. If the murderer can be successfully caught, this assassination case will be solved and the Beiliang people will be exposed. Conspiracy, people in the south of the Yangtze River will praise the prince for his wisdom and martial arts."

Yuan Xu laughed, "Miss Su Bingxue is smart and considerate. The man who will marry you in the future must be a good ancestor."

He handed Su Jiu a satin handkerchief and asked her to tie it around her neck to cover the wound.

Su Jiu thanked him and stepped out of the study.

She walked through the corridors of Xu Mansion, but met Lu Jiaoyi at the corner.

Lu Jiaoyi stared at the satin handkerchief around her neck, and couldn't help sneering, "Why, Miss Su is here to seduce the prince? Don't even look at her background, you are worthy of seducing the prince?!"

She was so jealous that she insulted Su Jiu to the fullest.
