Chapter 260: Gambling, Fraud, and Scare

Mu Zhiyue tried to stabilize her mind, "Something?" ”

"Our son-in-law invites Miss Mu Liu to see her", a pair of eyes eager to pierce Mu Zhiyue's face, wanting to see where this girl's charm came from to make the young master in the family take the initiative to take over her affairs.

Mu Zhiyue was very flustered at the moment, and wanted to wait until she figured out the joints to see Xia Yi again, but the current situation did not allow her to think about it more, so she simply said sideways: "Please lead the way, please lead the way."

It is still the familiar Yisong Courtyard, but the person standing at the door of the hall at this moment has changed from the Seventh Prince Zhou Junze to Xia Yi.

Xia Yi saw that her face was not as relaxed and unguarded as before, but it was unprecedentedly solemn, and when Mu Zhiyue saw it, he knew that today he had broken his secret and aroused his suspicion.

Strive to bow calmly, "Xia Gongzi".

Xia Yi glanced at the two maids behind her, "Miss Mu Liu, please come in", and then took the lead in entering the main hall.

Mu Zhiyue hesitated for a moment before stepping forward, but Su'er and Xiao Zhuo were stopped by the person just now, "The two sisters should wait here", the words were polite, but the arms in front of the two of them were unshakable.

Mu Zhiyue gave them a reassuring look, then lifted her skirt and followed Xia Yi in.

Before he had taken three steps into the house, the door behind him "clanged" shut.

The room fell silent all of a sudden, only the sound of Mu Zhiyue's pounding heartbeat and the tightly intertwined hands hidden under the brocade sleeves.

Even so, her face was still natural.

"Did Miss Mu Liu come to me?" Xia Yi walked to the table in front of him and sat down, pinched a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, then patted his hands to knock off the remaining crumbs, and squinted at Mu Zhiyue.

His expression seemed to be the same careless as every time he saw it, but he felt a little different from the past, but he couldn't tell what was different.

"Hmm", Mu Zhiyue didn't know why he didn't mention the person just now, but asked her about her purpose first.

Trying to suppress the tension in his heart, he followed his words to explain his intentions, "I want to ask about Imperial Doctor Zhang and that Fu Doctor."

"They are all safe, and I have arranged them in a secret place, just waiting for you to use them when I will bring people in", Xia Yi said this concisely.

Although Mu Zhiyue was scared in her heart, she was still a little relieved to hear such good news, she had been hiding this from her grandfather and father, so that they were still worrying about whether Imperial Doctor Zhang had not found the Fu Doctor, otherwise why had no news come back for so long.

"Miss Mu Liu should have other questions to ask", Xia Yi's attitude changed suddenly, and he returned to the attitude of a stranger when they met just now.

He was a little relieved that Mu Zhiyue was like this, but he was afraid that he was still talking and laughing as before, that was to hide all the plans in his heart, so that you couldn't guess it.

Now he is willing to show her his different appearance, which shows that although he is jealous, he is not so worried that he will be killed, so Mu Zhiyue is not so worried.

Simply today has reached this point, he asked himself, then you're welcome, the big deal is death, this is the worst plan, but she still thinks that Xia Yi will not kill herself.

"I want to know Zhou Heng's identity, I'm afraid he is more than one orphan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a prince and grandson with such a temperament", Mu Zhiyue first threw out this question, in order to test whether Xia Yi would tell the truth to himself.

Xia Yi didn't have the slightest surprise because of her words, at least he showed no waves, but only he knew that his heart was already turbulent.

Is this Mu Liu girl an immortal, this can be guessed, but he knows that she has never been to the capital, so naturally he has not seen the Seventh Prince.

Xia Yi didn't speak, only his slightly cold face softened slightly, he wanted to see what else this Mu Liu girl knew.

Mu Zhiyue saw that although he didn't speak, he didn't deny it, which also means that he is not willing to lie to deceive himself, which is also a good phenomenon.

"I heard that Lin Zhaoyi in the palace is the eldest daughter of Lin Yi, the current Qintian Supervisor, if Zhou Heng's identity is extraordinary, he is proficient in metaphysics, and he can even tell his brother about the lost metaphysical books, his identity must not be ordinary, I don't know if what I said is right or not."

Mu Zhiyue is gambling, betting that Xia Yi will let her go because of this, and the current Mu family is also a member of the Seven Princes, if he can help the Seven Princes with Xia Yi's hand, the Mu family will be one step closer to the glory of the future.

As she talked more and more, Xia Yi's expression finally changed, and she could really guess Zhou Junze's identity, which was incredible.

A pair of eyes looked at Mu Zhiyue unabashedly, what kind of skills did this little girl have, she dared to make such a bold guess on some trivial matters, and she also guessed accurately, Xia Yi couldn't believe it.

"What else does Miss Mu Liu know?" Xia Yi still continued to ask quietly.

Mu Zhiyue felt that this was enough, and if she continued to talk about it, Xia Yi would suspect that she had other intentions.

"No, I only guessed these, and I know that your relationship with Zhou Heng is not ordinary", the fear in her heart has largely dissipated after saying this paragraph, so she simply bet on this, it is better to let go of her heart.

After speaking, he looked at Xia Yi and said, "By the way, I also know that my grandfather should know Zhou Heng's identity, but I just haven't said it."

Grandfather once said that he wanted to talk about the people introduced by Zhou Heng to the family, but in the end, he couldn't do it inexplicably, Mu Zhiyue was not afraid of Xia Yi to check when he said this, after all, there were really traces to follow.

Xia Yi looked at her deeply, and when he saw her calm look, he knew that she didn't lie to herself, and he still had this in his eyes.

"Miss Mu Liu knows a lot, how dare you come to see me, aren't you afraid that I will talk about you", Xia Yi leaned back on the back of the chair. The legs were stretched out and crossed together, and he returned to the image of the idle boy of the past, but the words he said were far less reassuring than he appeared.

"Of course I'm afraid, so I don't dare to hide everything I say, I just want to ask for leniency", Mu Zhiyue saw him like this, and somehow said such a joking sentence.

But I didn't want to say this, and Xia Yi really laughed, and the hearty laughter was especially obvious in the closed room.

Mu Zhiyue breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, it seems that she made the right bet this time, but this also depends on her grandfather's surrender to the Seventh Prince, of course Xia Yi didn't dare to embarrass the Mu family too much.

"Miss Mu Liu is so bold, she dares to joke with me at this time", Xia Yi's mood changed because of the flattery she had just implied.

If he really killed her, he couldn't do it, he just tricked her and scared her, but this girl's intelligence was really beyond his expectations.
