The prince was very dissatisfied with Xiao Mu's insistence on returning to the Hou Mansion.
His son is not his son-in-law, so how can he not live in his own home but go back to live in the woman's home?
If this were spread, wouldn't it be a joke?
Finally seeing that he couldn't stand it anymore, he said, "Why don't we bring your wife to live in the palace tomorrow, so as to save you the trouble of running around!"
Xiao Mu disagreed.
"This West Cross Courtyard is very unlucky. I had an accident here, and I don't want my wife to have an accident here again."
The prince was very angry.
"I already said it was an accident. With so many servants in my palace, how could we let the same accident happen again?"
"Even if there is no problem, it still won't work." Xiao Mu still disagreed.
"My wife has been separated from her parents since she was a child. She was raised by relatives. She has not seen the old Marquis and his wife for so many years. Naturally, she has a lot of thoughtful things to say. I can't stop talking about it just because of my selfish desires. Let her stay with her loved ones."
"That……"
The prince also wants to ask, do you and I have nothing to say?
But he still has some self-awareness after all, knowing that if he asks this question, the answer he will get will definitely be no.
So he had no choice but to shake his head.
"Well, since you like living there, you can live there for a while first. As time goes by, you will have to come out to live sooner or later."
Xiao Mu did not reply to his soliloquy and returned to the Hou Mansion in the night.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the Hou Mansion, before he could knock on the door, a servant came out to greet him.
"Uncle, it's cold outside, please take this hand stove to warm yourself first."
The servant said as he handed Xiao Mu a hand stove with a faint aroma.
Xiao Mu reached out to take it, and the servant immediately brought a lantern, leading the way and sending Xiao Mu back to the courtyard where he lived.
When Xiao Mu entered the house, Ye Luoxin was still reading and waiting for him.
"You're back?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ye Luoxin put down her book and came over.
"Why haven't you rested yet?"
Xiao Mu did not go inside, but first took off his cloak at the door to disperse the cold air from his body.
"I discovered a very interesting book, and I haven't read it until now." Ye Luoxin said with a smile.
Xiao Mu suddenly became interested: "What book? Is it so beautiful?"
Ye Luoxin did not answer, but asked: "I'll tell you about the book later, but you, how did things go today? Did it go well?"
Xiao Mu's hands were already warmed by the stove.
He put down the heater, took Ye Luoxin's hand to the table together, and then replied: "It went smoothly. There is a traitor in Lingyuan Pavilion, but he is cowardly and has already confessed everything he committed."
"Is there such a thing?" Ye Luoxin was shocked.
She thought that a mysterious place like Lingyuan Pavilion must be well-organized, but she never expected that there would be a traitor.
"Well!" Xiao Mu poured himself a cup of tea.
I found the water temperature was just right.
He took a sip and said, "Do you still remember the seal I got from the bandit before?"
"Yeah!" Ye Luoxin nodded, of course she remembered.
"That is one of the keys to enter Lingyuan Pavilion," Xiao Mu said. "People from Lingyuan Pavilion told me that five years ago, someone brought this key to Lingyuan Pavilion to take away the things inside."
Ye Luoxin: "Who is so brave? I remember you told me that a key is useless, right? He doesn't even know this, can he succeed?"
Xiao Mu sneered: "Although he doesn't know the rules, he is good at using the people inside, and he actually took some things away!"
"It was the traitor who cooperated with him!" Ye Luoxin immediately understood.
"Yes!" Xiao Mu said, "But fortunately, I seem to know who he is!"
"who?"
Ye Luoxin became nervous when she heard this.
"The eldest son of the Wang family, Xiao Jinrong!"
"Your...eldest brother?" Ye Luoxin quickly asked: "Then did you have a showdown with him today? Does he know that you found out now?"
"Not yet!" Xiao Mu said.
"The other party is so cunning, and I'm not completely sure. I won't expose him yet. And I need him to take action first, so that I can catch him."
"He moved first?" Ye Luoxin was puzzled.
Xiao Mu explained: "When we were eating today, I deliberately revealed to them about the traitor, but I told them half-truth and half-lie. I told them that the traitor remembered the person's face and could recognize him as long as he saw it.
In fact, Liu San needs to fight with the opponent before he can determine the opponent's identity.
As long as Jamel Xiao has something in his heart, he will definitely take action in the next few days.
As long as he moves, I will be able to confirm his identity. When the time comes, he will be able to rely on me no matter how hard he wants. "
"Then you can't go home these days?" Ye Luoxin was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, I have made arrangements for Lingyuan Pavilion. Even if I don't come forward, they can solve it." Xiao Mu comforted his wife.
"Yeah!" Even though Ye Luoxin was worried, she nodded and said nothing more.
She couldn't help with such a matter, so she would try not to cause any trouble to Xiao Mu.
"But there is one thing I still can't figure out," Ye Luoxin thought for a while and asked again.
"What?" Xiao Mu had already drank the last sip of tea, holding Ye Luoxin's hand and walking to the bed.
"According to what you said, the seal was originally in the hands of your elder brother, but why did it fall into the hands of the bandits?"
This is indeed a problem.
Xiao Mu couldn't understand it at first.
But after hearing what Liu San said, Xiao Mu also had a guess.
"Liu San said today that after he knew that the man was not the real pavilion master, he went to fight for his life, but lost in the end.
I guess it was during that battle that the other party lost the seal.
However, whether it is true or not will not be known until Xiao Jinrong confesses. "
"Then I hope he will reveal his flaws as soon as possible!" Ye Luoxin prayed.
Seeing that she had no other questions, Xiao Mu brought up the topic just now.
"Didn't you say you saw a nice book? What kind of book is it?"
Speaking of this, Ye Luoxin temporarily put aside her worries, happily took the book over and handed it to Xiao Mu to read.
"This is it!"
Xiao Mu took the book, turned to the cover, and saw the title of the book, "The Romantic Prince and the Pretty Princess."
It turns out to be a storybook!
Ye Luoxin had read quite a few books along the way, but she had never been so interested in any of them.
Xiao Mu couldn't help but think wrongly.
In his impression, Ye Luoxin was quite interested in that book before.
Not only do I read it frequently, but I also learned some skills from it.
My wife likes it so much. Is it possible that the content in the book is slightly similar to the one I picked up?
"This..." Xiao Mu thought about the words in his mind.
"Could this book describe some postures that I haven't seen before?"
As he spoke, he opened the pages of the book and lowered his head to read.
Ye Luoxin was angry at Xiao Mu's twisted brain.
She blushed and snatched the book from Xiao Mu's hand.
"It's not what you think! What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Mu also felt a little embarrassed.
It's not that he only thinks about this, it's that he really can't think of anything else.
Seeing Xiao Mu's ears turned red, Ye Luoxin did not intend to continue to embarrass him.
She opened the book, flipped to the middle, and pointed to a few words in it for Xiao Mu to read.
"Look, what is written here?"
