Chapter 29 Confronting Admiral Su 5
Admiral Su entered the house, and immediately closed the door tightly.He exchanged polite greetings with Chuyue, but he didn't realize that Bai Liqi was secretly listening to the movement in the house on the roof.

After finishing the formalities, Admiral Su finally got to the point: "Princess, think about what happened that night before he fell into a coma. Is it possible that General Xue...has something to do with the assassin?"

Chuyue nodded again and again: "Related, of course! You also know that I woke up a few days ago. Do you know why he didn't report it?"

Admiral Su immediately came to his senses: "Princess, please clarify."

Chuyue pretended to be mysterious and lowered her voice: "I only told the admiral quietly about this matter to you alone. Xue Yao has been secretly looking for clues to the assassin, and wants to get there first!"

Admiral Su was disappointed: "Is this what the princess wants to tell me?"

Chuyue pretended to hate iron but not steel: "This is a big deal! Now the whole court is looking for an assassin. If you let him find someone first, you will lose face! He is taking your credit!"

Admiral Su lost all interest: "Thank you princess for letting me know."

The two talked a few more words, Admiral Su was about to stand up and leave, when Su Nannan broke in: "Daddy! Brother Xue, he..." She saw Chuyue, and the two looked at each other.Chuyue was surprised: "This... Miss Su is the daughter of the admiral?"

Su Nannan said loudly: "Little maid, you are here too. You promised to help me last time, but you slipped away halfway. I haven't settled the score with you yet."

Admiral Su scolded loudly: "Presumptuous, hurry up and apologize to the princess!"

Su Nannan was stunned: "Princess? You...you are that vixen?!"

Admiral Su hurriedly pressed Su Nannan to kneel down.Reluctantly, Su Nannan knelt on the ground, raised her head and silently mouthed at Chuyue: "Li——"

Chuyue laughed and smoothed things over: "Please hurry up, please. Mrs. Su, my daughter and I happened to meet yesterday. Miss Su is warm-hearted and innocent. I like it very much, so I don't need to care about these red tapes."

Xue Yao walked in and asked with great interest, "Did the admiral find any clues?"

Admiral Su was unwilling, but he had no choice but to give up: "It depends on the emperor's decision on how the situation will be." After saying that, he pulled Su Nannan to go out.

Seeing the two walking away, Xue Yao turned to look at Chuyue.He had already heard Bai Liqi's report, and she didn't say anything she shouldn't have said just now. "You're pretty honest today. But I'd like to remind you that everyone in Xue's house is my people. I know all the tricks you used to escape over the wall yesterday, and what you said to Admiral Su today." .You must never try to play any tricks in the future, otherwise..."

Chuyue asked with a guilty conscience: "Otherwise..."

Xue Yao suppressed a smile, and glanced out the window: "Otherwise, you just wait to become my dead soul under the flowers."
