After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Chapter 225 It was not the warehouse that was burned

Chu Huanyan's eyes swept across the men in black around her, and finally landed on Xiao Rongxuan's face again.

"The third prince is trying so hard to threaten Mr. Shi, just because he wants to distance himself from this incident. Then why should he come forward and block our way at this moment? You are not afraid..."

"I just saw that Miss Chu and Miss Shi were sneaking around. It was such a dark night and I was worried that something would happen, so I stopped you out of goodwill. Is there anything wrong with it?" Xiao Rongxuan said with a scornful expression.

Although Chu Huanyan is now the future crown princess, just because of tonight, she can't find any trouble with him.

More importantly, he had lost to Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi several times before. Today, he wanted to personally see Chu Huanyan's reaction after the store was burned down to vent his hatred.

Chu Huanyan looked up at Xiao Rongxuan, and after a moment, she smiled softly.

"The Third Prince has really been carried away by anger recently."

After saying that, she looked past Xiao Rongxuan and looked at Mu Feng behind him.

"The third prince was so impulsive that he didn't understand why my senior brother didn't even stop him. What you, a staff member, did... seems to have been a bit derelict in your duty."

Mu Feng, who had been silent since just now, finally took the reins and took two steps forward, his figure appearing under the moonlight.

"Junior sister, you don't have to waste your time. As for the rice in your shop, senior brother can only apologize to you."

The third prince's recent behavior is indeed a bit impulsive and radical, but there is no big problem.

They had already confirmed when they came over that there was no one else on the street, and there was someone guarding the place in the dark, so no one would encounter this scene.

Later, even if Chu Huanyan made a fuss about this matter, it was just a matter of words, which could not explain anything, and it was impossible to put the responsibility of arson on the third prince.

To put it bluntly, even if we really pursue the case, the person who will ultimately be responsible for this matter will only be Shi Cunhou.

Mu Feng's tone was extremely calm, so calm that almost no emotion could be heard from it.

Chu Huanyan looked at him quietly for a long time, then lowered her eyebrows and said, "Actually, I never understood why senior brother wanted to seek refuge with the third prince, but now I can finally figure it out."

"Oh? I'm all ears." Mu Feng said calmly.

"You don't want to assist the third prince, and you don't care whether he can ascend to that high position in the end. What you want..." Chu Huanyan raised her head and looked directly at Mu Feng, "You just want to take revenge on Duke Shi."

Xiao Rongxuan subconsciously frowned and looked at Mu Feng, who looked at Chu Huanyan intently, with a smile on his lips.

"Junior sister's method of driving a wedge in person is not very clever."

"Does Senior Brother Li Liang know in his heart why you allowed Duke Shi to listen to the Third Prince's assignment, or why you were able to catch Shi Guogong? I wonder if Senior Brother has carefully explained this to the Third Prince."

Chu Huanyan sighed slowly and continued.

"Actually, I'm not really close to senior brother, and I don't know much about senior brother's past. However, if you really want to investigate... you might be able to find out some of the connections between senior brother and Duke Shi."

Xiao Jinzhi also sent people to investigate the matter of Duke Shi's wife being forcibly taken away. It must be said that the Duke suppressed the news extremely well.In addition, it is a scandal after all, and the people who happened are not willing to publicize it.And Mu Feng can easily know the ins and outs, and the reason is really difficult to avoid making people guess.

Seeing Mu Feng's expression finally showing some emotion, Chu Huanyan continued to speak. "Also, the matter of Miss Shi coming to report may also be under the control of senior brother. After all, it can almost be regarded as the Shi family throwing themselves into a trap. As long as the fire breaks out and something happens to the rice grain, Duke Shi's mansion will naturally not be able to escape. Related."

"So even if senior brother knows very well that it is not a good idea to attack Mi Liang now, even if it can relieve the anger of the third prince for a while, if you are not careful, it will plant a big hidden danger, and even implicate the third prince. But. You still didn't persuade him to say anything, but let the third prince make this decision. So, you just hope to use the third prince to deal with Duke Shi, and as for his final outcome...what does it matter?"

Chu Huanyan spoke unhurriedly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone at the right time.

Although Xiao Rongxuan did not want to believe Chu Huanyan's words, he could not help but be suspicious of Mu Feng because of these.

"Is everything she said true?"

Mu Feng shook his head, "Your Highness, haven't you already experienced Chu Huanyan's eloquent words before? How can you really not tell the difference between such obvious divisive words now?"

After saying that, Mu Feng looked at Chu Huanyan, "Junior sister is really eloquent. Although we are trying to estrange each other in person, once these words come out, no matter how I explain them, His Highness will inevitably be suspicious. You..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Feng suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Huanyan suspiciously.

"When you know that the rice shop and warehouse are about to be burned down, you are still in the mood to instigate?"

No, there's something wrong with Chu Huanyan's reaction!

"Anyway, I am idle, just chatting for a few words." Chu Huanyan shrugged, the smile on her lips became more and more obvious, "Besides, since everyone has been blocked, and the matter of burning the shop is also It’s already doomed, so no matter how anxious I am, there’s nothing I can do about it, right?”

Now not only Mu Feng, but also Xiao Rongxuan felt something was wrong.

Although Chu Huanyan wanted to take the opportunity to provoke, and it was true, the other party's reaction was really too calm.

It goes without saying how important those rice grains are. Once destroyed, not only Xiao Jinzhi will encounter big trouble in the subsequent disaster relief, but Chu Huanyan will also suffer heavy losses.

"Chu Huanyan, do you still have any backup plans?" Xiao Rongxuan looked suspiciously and asked coldly.

"Is the Third Prince not confident?" Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows, "My servant is just chatting with you for a few words. Since you are fully prepared, there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides..."

Chu Huanyan raised her lips and motioned Xiao Rongxuan and Mu Feng to look back.

"Look, isn't the fire already burning?"

The two turned to look, and sure enough they spotted the fire in the distance.

Although it was far away, it illuminated a large area in the dark night. Looking from a distance, one could confirm that that area was really on fire.

but……

Staring at the fire in the distance, Mu Feng frowned and said, "Your Highness, there seems to be something wrong with this direction."

Judging from the direction of the fire, it was not where Chu Huanyan's shop and warehouse were.

Xiao Rongxuan's face suddenly darkened, "That's the direction of this prince's residence!"
