Chapter 222: Surprised

Before Nan Rongliang could react from his surprise, Xiahou Ying had already taken the warrant written by Lu Xiyao and walked out of Luming Academy with him with a swagger.

"You....... Did you take the handle of Academician Deer? This is already the most reasonable explanation that Nan Rongliang can come up with.

"No, I'm now Academician Deer's advisor." Xia Houying replied casually while boarding the carriage.

Nan Rongliang stepped forward to support Xiahou Ying, and then sat in the carriage with her.

"Advisor? What consultants? Nan Rongliang looked at Xiahou Ying suspiciously, and he suddenly realized that the girl in front of him seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets.

"It's nothing, in fact, the idea of the last four-hall competition was what I thought of for Academician Lu, and he was very satisfied, so he hired me to be his consultant, hoping that I could provide more novel and good ideas in the future to help him manage the academy." Xia Houying said innocently.

But looking at the harmless face in front of him, Nan Rongliang only felt a chill down his spine. A scheming Lu Xiyao has tortured their gang to death, and now there is such a weird bad girl...... I'm afraid they won't have a good life in the future......

"Where are we going?" The coachman asked outside the car.

"Let's go to Nanlin Courtyard first." Xia Houying replied.

The carriage started slowly, but the two people in the car didn't speak for a long time, and in the end, Nan Rongliang couldn't help but open his mouth first.

"It's been so many days, are you really confident that you've found the thief?" Nan Rongliang looked at Xiahou Ying with some concern.

"Who knows, you have to try, after all, His Royal Highness the Prince is not willing to sell his land and lose money to Young Master Ji, right?" Xiahou Ying glanced at Nan Rongliang faintly.

"Y-How do you know I'm going to buy the Grange?" Nan Rongliang looked at Xiahou Ying with wide eyes, he only told Duguchen about this matter last night, why did it spread so quickly?

"You don't have to think about it to guess, you have been dragging Situ Ji, aren't you unwilling to lose money? Although 25,000 taels is not a small amount, since you have agreed to accompany Young Master Ji, it means that you have a way to raise money. I don't quite understand, though. Xiahou Ying raised her eyes and looked at Nan Rongliang.

"I heard that the Holy Queen is very fond of your nephew, and I believe that as long as you open your mouth, this matter will be easily solved, isn't it?" Xia Houying asked her doubts.

"Huh! It turns out that in your eyes, I am really a straw bag who only causes trouble, and will only find the elders to settle things when things happen! Nan Rong snorted coldly, don't look over.

Only then did Xia Houying realize that she did seem to be speaking too bluntly, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. In fact, during this time, she has changed her opinion of Nan Rongliang a lot, but unfortunately this incident has greatly reduced Nan Rongliang's impression in her heart.

"Ugh....... Your Royal Highness, don't be careful, I just think that if you went to the Holy Queen for help, this matter would not have come to this point. Xiahou Ying smiled at Nan Rongliang with a weak heart.

"This matter is that I can't live with Ah Chen, I can understand if you blame me." But I really don't want you to think I'm just a messy piece of shit...... Nan Rongliang secretly added in his heart.

Looking at Nan Rongliang's lost appearance, the guilt in Xia Houying's heart increased a little more.

"Your Royal Highness, don't worry, there is always a way to solve things!" Xia Houying comforted.
