Pretty Consort: Prince, Don't Run away

She thought that with her noble identity and status, if she died here for no reason, there would be someone who would investigate her strictly. When that happened, he wouldn't be able to escape either.

Unfortunately, she missed a step!

No matter what the Prince Jing s were, even the Emperor looked down upon them. Why would they go all out just for the sake of his consort?

Seeing his expression, Xi Mengyao felt unwell in her heart, "Could it be that you think you have the ability to do whatever you want now?"

"You don't have to do this. The person who can do whatever he wants isn't me, but the person behind me."

At this time, he did not take Xi Mengyao's words seriously at all. Looking at her, he continued, "I presume that you have already known for a long time who you had offended."

"Third Prince." Xi Mengyao didn't hide it at all and said these three words.

Hearing the name, Ministry Councillor Liu was startled, he did not think that she would actually know, and became nervous again.

However, on the surface, he only clapped his hands and praised, "Indeed, he has guts. If it wasn't for you making him your enemy, this old one would have wanted to recruit you to work for me."

Actually, he meant it.

He was originally a travelling merchant in Spirit State City, but he accidentally got to know the daughter of a rich local merchant. After having a secret relationship with others, he had joined the Liu Clan.

At that house, after enduring for most of his life, just as his father-in-law was about to die, he obtained three thousand taels of silver and opened a restaurant in the capital.

He was someone who could endure humiliation. After coming to the capital, he was just a "steward" of his wife's family. His wife was not a business person at all.

He had been spoiled ever since he was a child. He would beat and scold anyone with the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.

Although he was far from being someone who would fear his father-in-law's threats, he was still unable to control everything. As such, he endured the insults from his wife while pretending to be happy about it.

It took them a whole year to coax and deceive people into moving to the capital.

He had secretly transferred the power of the restaurant into his own hands, thus taking over the present family property!

It was always fascinating to have the power in one's hands.

The more it was like this, the more unsatisfied he was. He could have given up his wife, but he could not bear to part with the old man's inheritance. The key to the treasury was completely written down by that woman.

He had no choice but to endure.

He originally wanted to endure it slowly, but it became increasingly difficult in this world. How could it be so easy for the Son of Heaven to gain a foothold? Even a small follower of the capital city's Tischus could strut around and show off his might in front of him.

It was only then that he thought of putting his son and son-in-law into the bureaucracy as a safeguard for his future business.

The imperial court had changed its system of hiring. Although the Imperial Examinations were elections, only ten people would be able to make it onto the list.

Finally, there was a donation item a few years ago, so he quickly donated both of them.

His useless wife just called him ambitious.

But he never thought so. Because of this, he was able to hook up with the Third Prince.

The Third Prince was a generous man, he was frank and straightforward, more importantly, he was arrogant and used to it. As long as he said a few good words in his ears, he would not even be able to find a place to go to the north.

This was the person he liked the most. He did not need to focus too much on dealing with him, nor did he need to worry about being tricked.

However, in terms of admiration, Xi Mengyao, whom he thought she had the same level of courage as him, had actually made him fall for her.

"But unfortunately, your luck is really bad." As he thought about it, he could only sigh, "Such an intelligent woman has such a face. If you were to leave, those lecherous and lecherous princes and grandsons might not be able to find their way to the north."

When Xi Mengyao heard his teasing, her face instantly turned cold: "You're flattering me."

After saying that, she merely coughed, "Forget it, since you've come straight to the point, I won't hold back."

She turned her head and met the scheming eyes of the old man. Feeling disgusted, she turned her head and said, "Why don't I make a deal with you?"

"Since you are a member of the Third Prince, then you must know his character as well. Right now, he can't win in a fight, so he got himself some evil tricks. I wonder where he found a few people who know evil arts. "

"..." What do you mean? " Ministry Councillor Liu did not understand.

"..." I mean, this time, he let that group of people secretly hurt me, "Xi Mengyao said in surprise, but she still continued," However, it hasn't worked yet. "

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at him again. "I came here this time to investigate this matter and coincidentally ran into you. However, you just so happened to be one of his subordinates."

As she spoke, she gave a faint smile.

As the Ministry Councillor Liu listened, his complexion slightly changed.

He knew what kind of demonic technique Song Qian was using, but he didn't know who it was.

Now that Xi Mengyao said it, he also thought that he might become one of them.

"You should know a little about evil arts. If his technique is successful, it is fine. However, if he does not succeed in suffering a backlash, he will end up suffering a loss. Who knows who it is." After saying that, she sighed and waved her hand, showing a look of sighing.

When the Ministry Councillor Liu heard this, his expression became somewhat dark. As a businessman, he was naturally sensitive to such things.

He also knew that sometimes, when luck was on his side, even if he couldn't stop it, he wouldn't be able to escape misfortune.

If he were to be affected by the backlash of the spell …

"..." Princess Hua-Yang doesn't need to be like this. This old one might look like this, but I have seen much of the world. "

Hearing his words, Xi Mengyao shook her head and sighed, she seemed to still have some brains.

Seeing such a person, she had even more thoughts of protecting herself, she thought, but then thought of what she had heard earlier. She lowered her head and thought, yet she also had an idea.

Xi Mengyao looked at the cunning old man, and suddenly patted the corner of his skirt. At this time, she also yawned faintly.

Then, he suddenly turned around and looked at Ministry Councillor Liu. "What about this condition?"

As she spoke, she took a step forward, "I know that your wife has a bad temper, but she has a long life. Unfortunately, I have a method up my sleeve that I can use to help you. "

"Really?" Ministry Councillor Liu had originally decided that no matter what she said, he would only laugh it off. However, after hearing these words, he could not help but ask.

He didn't care about anything else, but Xi Mengyao's last sentence had completely pierced through his weak point.

Seeing that, Xi Mengyao lowered her head and smiled, and also heaved a sigh of relief: "Of course, if you are not confident, I will not say."

"However, right now, even you are unable to protect yourself …"

"It would be too easy for me to protect my life, but," Xi Mengyao only smiled faintly and then straightened her body. "It's too boring for me to give in like this, so I have to retaliate in time as well."
