Chapter 160 Jealousy!
Liu Yunniang said lightly,
"Yes, Prince Song did express his feelings to me today."
Xiao Mu's face turned pale in an instant. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
My heart was filled with sadness. It was such a bad feeling!
"Prince Song is elegant and talented. He is indeed a rare and handsome young man."
Liu Yunniang said this deliberately, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
Xiao Mu's heart sank suddenly and he clenched his fists tighter.
"So...how did you respond to him?"
Xiao Mu's voice trembled a little, and he was nervously waiting for Liu Yunniang's answer.
Liu Yunniang smiled slightly and said,
"Of course I rejected him."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Mu's eyes, and he looked at Liu Yunniang in disbelief.
"Really? You really rejected him?"
Liu Yunniang glanced at him lightly. Didn’t he send secret guards to follow him? Why was he still pretending?
She was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke.
"You already knew this, didn't you? Why are you pretending to be so in front of me?"
After hearing what Liu Yunniang said, Xiao Mu finally felt relieved.
He held Liu Yunniang's hand tightly, with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Well, I asked the secret guards to follow you to protect you. This was not intentional..."
"I know, you don't need to explain. Besides, I also know about your arrangement of secret guards, but I don't like you testing me here. Xiao Mu, I don't want to bother guessing, nor do I want to test you by half-heartedly accepting and rejecting. So, I don't want to be tested by you. Whether others are good or not has nothing to do with me. This is what you once told me. Now, I will tell you word by word that you are in my heart now, so I will not consider anyone else."
After hearing what Liu Yunniang said, Xiao Mu felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He held Liu Yunniang's hand tightly, with a look of guilt on his face.
"Yunniang, it's my fault. I shouldn't have tested you. I just cared about you too much. When I heard that Prince Song expressed his feelings for you, I panicked."
Xiao Mu said sincerely.
When Liu Yunniang saw Xiao Mu's guilty look, her anger subsided a lot.
She sighed softly and said,
"Xiao Mu, I know you care about me, but don't do this again in the future. We should be honest with each other, without suspicion and temptation."
Xiao Mu nodded and said,
"I understand, Yunniang. I will definitely trust you in the future and will never let you suffer any injustice again."
They sat at the table, holding hands tightly. The atmosphere was warm and peaceful, as if time had stopped.
"Yunniang, don't worry, I will protect you well and won't let anyone hurt you."
Liu Yunniang looked at Xiao Mu tenderly and said,
"I believe you."
She thought for a moment and continued,
"Then how did Murong Jin handle it? It's always unsettling until this matter is resolved."
Xiao Mu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said,
"Your Majesty has already investigated Murong Jin's background. She is indeed a little strange. Your Majesty probably believes her words, so he has been investigating her in recent days. However, it is not known how Your Majesty plans to deal with her. However, she will not survive."
Liu Yunniang nodded slightly and understood His Majesty's decision. After all, how could the royal family tolerate a person who was not of the Murong family to survive in the world?
She asked again,
"What about Concubine Wen?"
Xiao Mu said in a low voice,
"Humph, Concubine Wen and Chen Zicong also had the same result. His Majesty's decree should have come down in the next few days."
Liu Yunniang sighed.
"To be honest, the other members of the Chen family were also implicated by Concubine Wen and Chen Zicong."
Xiao Mu held Liu Yunniang's hand.
"Don't worry, with your majesty's disposal, the mother and daughter of the Chen family will be fine. After all, they have been deceived by Chen Zicong for so many years. It's just that the son of the Chen family is said to have some real skills. I'm afraid that his future will be ruined. I'm afraid he won't be able to make a breakthrough. However, they are lucky to be able to save their lives. If it weren't for your majesty's mercy, I'm afraid they would all be dealt with together."
"Ugh!"
Liu Yunniang sighed.
"Things in this world are really unpredictable. Who could have thought that so many unexpected events would happen."
Xiao Mu gently patted Liu Yunniang's hand and said,
"Don't think too much. Madam Chen is not stupid. Everything has turned out as she expected. Don't feel sorry for her. She looks pitiful, but on the other hand, she not only got rid of the ungrateful person, but also saved her dowry and the lives of her two children. At most, they will be far away from the capital. With the family property, they will not have a bad life in the future."
Liu Yunniang nodded, knowing that what Xiao Mu said made sense. Since Madam Chen was so cruel as to report to Shuntian Prefecture, she was determined to fight to the bitter end. She said softly,
"Well, I hope that the days ahead will be peaceful, but Murong Jin is a hidden danger after all."
Xiao Mu's eyes darkened slightly. Murong Jin was still somewhat useful now, but it was not convenient to explain this matter to Yun Niang too clearly. He whispered to comfort her,
"You don't need to worry about Murong Jin's matter. Even if she survives, she will not be able to show up in public in the future. Once the Rongdi matter is completely resolved, His Majesty will not keep her."
Seeing that he was certain, Liu Yunniang knew that this must be what His Majesty meant.
At that moment, she no longer hesitated.
It feels really good to have someone to back you up.
They chatted for a while, and the topic gradually turned to Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao has been talking about you a lot recently. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, go and see her!" Xiao Mu showed a doting smile in his eyes and chuckled, "Xiaoxiao is a very cute child. Now that you mention it, I am curious. What happened? This child wants to see me so eagerly. Yunniang, why don't you tell me something first, so that I won't be nervous tomorrow and not know how to deal with it." He looked at Liu Yunniang with a smile in his eyes.
Liu Yunniang also laughed and said jokingly,
"You are so nice! I don't see that you are nervous at all."
She knew that Xiao Mu had always had a special liking for Xiao Xiao, so she said that.
Xiao Mu chuckled, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and then said seriously,
"Then I'll bring Xiaoxiao a gift tomorrow. She will definitely like it."
Liu Yunniang didn't take it seriously, thinking he was preparing some gadget for Xiaoxiao again.
Some time ago, he asked someone to prepare some things for Xiaoxiao, all of which were very valuable. If she didn't know that this man had some family background, she would not have dared to let Xiaoxiao accept those things.
Xiaoxiao didn't know, but she knew that the corals, pearls, and agates were all of high quality, so they were naturally expensive!
"You! Don't spoil her. She is so small that she doesn't know how precious those things are. She treats them as toys and ornaments all day long."
