Chapter 23 Dead
Jin Yuan was silent for a moment.

Suddenly she said: "The village woman is dead." She looked at him, but saw Yu Lianzheng's expression froze, she seemed also surprised.

"From Wenshan Village?"

"Exactly, you and I were the only ones staying at the village woman's house at that time. You really didn't know about her strange death?" The suspicion in Jin Yuan's tone was so clear, Yu Lianzheng frowned after hearing this: "You doubt me?"

The color of his pupils cooled inch by inch, his eyes blended into the dark night, and his expression was blurred.

But he didn't speak again.

Jinyuan didn't answer.

The three of them stood in place, and the bright moonlight cast it down, only reflecting the boundless darkness.

Mr. Xu twitched the corners of his lips, and only turned to Jinyuan: "Your Highness, let's go."

"You dare!" Yu Lianzheng said suddenly, but seemed a little anxious: "I didn't kill the village woman."

After he finished speaking, he paused again.

He has always been disdainful of such explanations, but he doesn't know why he suddenly wants to argue for himself like this.

Maybe it's just because she is His Highness, her master?Is it the king's most beloved sister, someone who I can't afford to offend?
But he felt furious in his heart. It was clear that he was wronged by Mr. Xu, but Jin Yuan chose to believe in a mere face, not in himself.

During this journey, Mr. Xu may have been by her side all the time, just like in the past, she could never leave him by her side.

The same is true today.

Yu Lianzheng sneered: "Your fame is not in vain, and you have never understood the usual rules."

This time Jin Yuan didn't let him talk, but was a little puzzled: "What's the matter with you? You and I are ministers and lords, and the king's permission to marry you didn't really count. Before that, I allow you to be more disciplined, and I also allow you to be disrespectful."

But if the innocent are killed by hand, the matter will change its nature.

Yu Lianzheng was not talking, but Jinyuan felt a little regretful after saying this, she was not really sure that the village woman was killed by him, nor did she fully believe Mr. Xu's inference.

It's just that the tone of his words made her really unhappy, and she endured it for a long time.

Now, it just took the time to explode.

When the three confronted each other, a voice suddenly came from the windowsill: "Stop arguing, Your Highness, I killed the village woman."

After the words were finished, a figure with a shaky pink belt slowly descended, bowed to Jin Yuan, and then turned to Yu Lianzheng: "General Yu."

Mr. Xu's expression on the side darkened.

But Tao Niang pretended not to see her, shaking her sleeves, and raised her lips to Yu Lianzheng: "The general is here at Lianhong Garden, why don't you listen to a few more songs before leaving?"

Just as Yu Lianzheng was about to answer, he suddenly felt unstable. He took two steps back, his eyes were already looking at Tao Niang with murderous intent.

But after only a moment passed, his body fell back heavily.

Seeing this, Jin Yuan turned to Tao Niang thoughtfully: "When I came, did I also use this drug?"

I have to say that the effect is quick and the skill is strong.

"Exactly," Tao Niang smiled and explained to Jin Yuan: "General Yu likes the oiran, so I'll let him stay for one more day, so I can catch up with someone."

Jin Yuan only thought that this certain person must be Mr. Xu.

It's good that Yu Lianzheng is fascinated now, but she has the mind to ask Tao Niang why she killed the village woman?
Isn't that Mr. Xu's man?
As if seeing what she was thinking, Tao Niang just waved her sleeves and said: "Village women are unreliable people. If you go ahead, she wants to go to spies from the sparrow clan to inform her. Why keep such a traitor?"

Jin Yuan didn't speak again, she thought of the hardship she suffered at the hands of the sparrow hunters, but she also felt that the village woman was not innocent.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that group of people were able to catch up with them so quickly. It must have been the news from the village women.

But, after thinking about it, she turned to Mr. Xu: "You don't know about this?" What he kept saying just now was that Yu Lianzheng killed the village woman.

Mr. Xu said indifferently: "I don't know."

Jin Yuan wasn't talking either, she just glanced at Tao Niang again, and felt that this woman had a very quack air about her, but this shot was considered to be helping her.

"You opened Lian Hong Yuan?"

Tao Niang nodded: "It's an incredible deal, and I've made a lot of money."

Several people were talking, then went to Lianhongyuan, sat down in the house, Jinyuan screened Mr. Xu away, and then turned to Tao Niang: "Are you Mr. Xu's friend?"

"Let's say that for the time being," Tao Niang's complexion darkened for a moment, "He is my sweetheart, unfortunately, with His Highness here, how can he see me."

Jin Yuan didn't understand what he said: "Do you mind his face-to-face status? That's totally unnecessary."

Tao Niang shook her head and sighed softly: "I don't mind, and I know that he is actually just His Highness's hidden guard, but who knows about Mr. Xu and His Highness? He can't tolerate other people in his heart."

"Unless he can leave you." Tao Niang was speaking, her eyes really filled with helplessness.

Jin Yuan shut up again now.

She thought that what Yu Lianzheng said was indeed true, but she was no longer His Highness before, and now she and Mr. Xu were really innocent.

Seeing that she was silent, Tao Niang just thought that she would not let Mr. Xu leave her, and simply shook her head again: "Your Highness, Tao Niang dare not rob you, you don't have to be on guard against me."

Only then did Jin Yuan regain his senses, and laughed: "Mr. Xu is free to come and go, but he is still doing things for me now. If things happen, he is willing to go with you, and I won't force it."

Jinyuan can't handle the damage of tearing up people's marriage.

What's more, if Mr. Xu and her are always unclear, it's not a good thing.

Hearing what Jin Yuan said, Tao Niang was a little surprised, she just nodded, "Your Highness, rest first, and it won't be too late to go on the road after General Yu wakes up tomorrow."

After she left, she just went straight to the top floor of Lianhong Garden, stood still outside the railing, whistled, the sharp voice lingered in the night, and after a while, a figure came out from the dark place.

It was Mr. Xu.

He looked at Hong Niang but his face was sullen, as if he was not happy to meet her.

"What's the matter?"

"Here comes the reward," Tao Niang smiled and walked forward, lingering with her fingertips in front of him, "You just deliberately led His Highness to misunderstand General Yu, but you have bad intentions."

Seeing Mr. Xu's unkind expression, Tao Niang didn't stop talking: "I think His Highness doesn't seem to like you as much as the outside world says, but you are the one who wants to keep her wholeheartedly."

"Your Highness, why is he someone you can covet?" Tao Niang's words obviously touched Mr. Xu's sore spot.

He stared at her with gloomy eyes, and there was a bit of murderous intent wandering around him.

"It's none of your business. If you can help me get the sparrow clan's relic, I will fulfill my promise."

Tao Niang smiled and leaned on him, but Mr. Xu didn't push her away.

"It's done, you have to leave His Highness, follow me, but remember." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand again, his body flew down like a butterfly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Mr. Xu stood under the moon for a while before returning to the Jinyuan house.

"Your Highness," he cupped his hands: "Now that Yu Lianzheng is in a coma, now is the best time for you to leave."
