"Hey, little girl, are you scared?"

Jing Yao looked at Mu Qingwan with a sigh of relief, trying to find a trace of different emotions from Mu Qingwan's paralyzed face.

"It's not in my hands, what am I afraid of?"

Mu Qingwan glanced at Jing Yao amusedly, Jing Yao looked like a child showing off his baby.

"Uh."

Jing Yao choked.

"Hey, I can help you, okay, I mean really. After all, you are the only outsider who has seen the old county king before, and now the eyes of all parties are staring at you. When the time comes, just like today, come to the door every day, don't cry your nose. ”

Jing Yao touched his nose and teased Mu Qingwan.

It's just that Mu Qingwan looked at Jing Yao with a smile.

"Then thank you, Your Highness the Eleventh Prince."

When it comes to moving her mouth, Mu Qingwan is not stupid.

“……”

Jing Yao felt bored with himself.

"Guy with no conscience, I still have to come here with my eyes, I'm afraid that you will be hurt, hum."

Jing Yao muttered quietly.

Mu Qingwan is actually thinking about this matter, but what Jing Yao said does make sense, if the matter is true, then he must be being targeted now, and he must have to find a way.

"Hey, why aren't you leaving? Want to stay here overnight? ”

Jing Yao was lying on Mu Qingwan's quilt, and now he was leisurely crossing Erlang's legs, Mu Qingwan was funny, how childish she looked.

"You, you girl, how can you talk like that!"

Jing Yao was shocked by Mu Qingwan's words, and turned his head to stare at Mu Qingwan in surprise, with an unbelievable stunned look in his eyes. Then, her ears turned red, but in the night, Mu Qingwan didn't see it clearly.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep. You can go back too. ”

Mu Qingwan yawned delicately, and made a gesture to lie down, so frightened that Jing Yao jumped up directly.

"You, you, hey, fortunately it's me, forget it, I don't dislike you."

Jing Yao pointed at Mu Qingwan, and this time even his face turned red.

"What?"

"Hmph."

Jing Yao waved his sleeves and left.

Mu Qingwan shook her head helplessly, this prince is always childish, obviously lying down, but he said contradictory words. It's just that Mu Qingwan also wondered, why didn't she seem to reject him very much, maybe it was also because the other party was only eleven years old? In Mu Qingwan's eyes, he is just a child.

Mu Qingwan, who was lying down, thought about countermeasures in her heart, and wanted to find a way to shift the target. Finally, Mu Qingwan made a plan.

It's just that before Mu Qingwan could implement her plan, news came from Jixiang.

"Miss, now it is rumored on the street that the old county king was always confused in his mind during his lifetime, and he did a lot of ridiculous things, such as liking to make some messy things, and often throwing his own things everywhere. I heard that a few years ago, once, he grabbed a little prince and insisted on giving him some treasure. By the way, another time, he fell ill again, and asked his subordinates to give a priceless calligraphy and painting to the pawnshop...... In short, there are too many such things, and now the streets are spreading about him. ”

Ji Xiang described it to Mu Qingwan with great interest, and couldn't wait to repeat all kinds of rumors in the streets and alleys to Mu Qingwan. In fact, Jixiang is also selfish, after all, Mu Qingwan is either practicing martial arts every day, reading books, and tinkering with medicinal materials...... is busy every day, and Jixiang also wants to take some interesting things and tell Mu Qingwan about them.

Or it was unintentional to insert willows, but the auspicious move made Mu Qingwan stunned.

This is probably the power of public opinion, some things usually no one pays attention to, but once someone provokes the direction of the wind, many things behind will be excavated, the power of public opinion is strong after all, even if there is no thing, it is possible to be made up by the brain.

Such a situation is beneficial to Mu Qingwan, at least distracting everyone's attention. Since this is the case, Mu Qingwan plans to go with the flow and not take any action, so her previous plan will be put on hold for the time being.

Could it be that Jing Yao is helping himself? Mu Qingwan couldn't think of anyone else, but why should she help herself? It doesn't seem like the first time he's helped. Mu Qingwan couldn't figure it out, sometimes although Mu Qingwan was smart, she still didn't have the upper hand in some things.

"Oh? How was it discovered? ”

Mu Qingwan is curious now, how this matter came out, don't be self-defeating.

"Oh, that's the calligraphy and painting. The pawnshop of the pawn just happened to be the property of the Ankang Hou Mansion, and the pawnshop was already very sluggish, but yesterday, Li Ying, the young lady of the Ankang Hou Mansion, held a ceremony called, yes, it was an auction. If you put some expired or dead ones out for auction, everyone will compete fairly, and the one with the highest price will win. In the end, this calligraphy and painting that the old county king secretly let people take away many years ago sold for the most money, and many things about the old county king were turned out for a while. This Miss Li really has a business mind, and she can really make money. ”

Jixiang sighed.

"Oh, you admire her so much."

Mu Qingwan looked at the auspicious bright eyes and shook her head helplessly.

"Ah, no, my subordinates still think Miss is amazing, hehe, although this Miss Li is also very profitable, her subordinates think it's too ostentatious. The subordinates remember that Miss said that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, so the subordinates still think it's good to be low-key. ”

Ji Xiang waved his hand again and again, showing his loyalty to Mu Qingwan.

"Is that painting really priceless?"

"Whether it's true or not, the subordinates don't know. But on the day of the auction, the painting was not supposed to be the finale, but the number of bidders was the largest, and in the end, the painting was auctioned for a sky-high price of 2,000 taels of gold. So, now everyone is saying that the painting must be precious. ”

Oh? With so many people bidding, are there many people who know the inside story?

"But I have to know, who bought this painting in the end?"

"Rumor has it that it is the Four Princes."

The Four Princes? Mu Qingwan was surprised. The fourth prince and the eldest prince are all from Concubine De, but I haven't heard of any action before. Either the four princes and the eldest prince are one faction, or the four princes are probably not too ambitious.

"Inform Hu Zhao that you should also pay attention to all kinds of news outside the house in the future. Forget it, you ask him to come over in person, and I'll tell him. ”

This incident also reminded Mu Qingwan that now she is too late in understanding the situation outside the house, and she only received the news after the auction has been held, which is too inconvenient, especially when she arrives in the capital, the news lag is likely to cause great trouble.

Mu Qingwan was also aware of this problem, so she planned to discuss with Hu Zhao how to establish an efficient news network and obtain all kinds of news in a timely manner.

After Hu Zhao came over, the master and servant discussed secretly for almost the whole morning, and a rudimentary form of a news network was basically formed.

"There is a big problem with Angelica Angelica and Angelica Angelica, and they need to be closely monitored. By the way, we're so ......."

Waiting means facing hidden dangers, and Mu Qingwan doesn't want to lose the initiative, so she plans to lure the snake out of the hole. After all, it is better to solve the problem as soon as possible.
