Chapter 484: Not Worthy of Being a Crown Princess
Mu Yunting was troubled for a long time about the lambs running on the grassland, and secretly made up his mind to go and see the sheep grazing when the grass was green and the birds were singing.
Maybe he could try it himself and see how it felt. As soon as this thought came to his mind, Mu Yunting quickly suppressed it.
"Concubine Xia is such a wonderful person. What happened just now was so interesting. If you hadn't explained it, I would have thought you were pregnant."
After Xun Zheng finished speaking, she stared at Mu Yunting and Su Nuan.
There was no change on their faces, but their hearts were already surging.
Especially Mu Yunting, who had not thought about it this way before, but now that he was reminded, he connected Su Nuan's recent behavior with the pregnancy, and many things made sense. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
But one thing still puzzled him, if she was really pregnant, why didn't she tell him?
This is definitely not the best time to ask about this matter. Mu Yunting suppressed the urge to find out the truth, and at the same time, he resisted the urge to look at Su Nuan.
When Su Nuan heard Xun Zheng's words, her heart began to beat fast. The fact that she said this showed that she already had some suspicions. This woman had been plotting something bad to do to her. If she knew that she was pregnant, it would definitely be bad for her, and she would have troubles in the future.
So she had to dispel Xun Zheng's suspicion. As the saying goes, overcorrection is an overreaction. She couldn't rush to deny this matter. Doing it too obviously would deepen Xun Zheng's suspicion. So Su Nuan smiled sweetly, picked up another piece of lamb chop and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly and swallowing it slowly. There was no sign of abnormality.
God knows how much willpower she used to stop herself from continuing to retch.
"Ms. Xun, have you ever seen lambs running happily on the grassland? How come you can understand it as soon as I tell you?"
"I've seen it, what's so strange about it? After all, you've been wandering around for so many years. But Concubine Xia, you, a lady who has been kept in seclusion, have actually seen the scene of herding sheep."
It’s unknown whether the original owner has seen Su Nuan or not, but she herself has really seen her. She has seen her in real life and in cartoons. At this moment, she is silently drawing small circles in her heart and cursing Xun Zheng.
"How can other girls who are kept in seclusion in other families compare with me?"
As soon as Su Nuan finished speaking, Xun Zheng's face actually showed affirmation.
Su Nuan wasn't sure whether Xun Zheng still had any doubts, so the topic turned to another place.
The three of them chatted for a while and the meal was over.
After dinner, Mu Yunting went to the study to deal with an urgent document, leaving Su Nuan and Xun Zheng alone in the room.
When they were alone, they dropped their disguises.
Xun Zheng looked at Su Nuan with disgust, and Su Nuan didn't look happy with him either.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xun Zheng spoke first: "My poor silly brother was fooled by you. You knew clearly what he felt for you, but you still wanted to use him."
Speaking of Ying Shu, Su Nuan felt a little guilty. She did want to use Ying Shu to help her escape from here before, but on second thought, what right did Xun Zheng have to say that? Wasn't it her sister who used Ying Shu to the extreme?
"You still have the nerve to mention him. He did so many things for you, but after the Xun family was rehabilitated, you became Miss Xun again. What did he get?"
"What did he get? Tell me what he deserves?"
"Shouldn't he be the young master of the Xun family again?"
"Young Master Xun died eight years ago."
"You can come back from the dead, so why can't he? In the final analysis, you are still afraid that his existence will affect you."
"So what? You want to stand up for him? Then go and tell His Highness that there is still a young master of the Xun family alive. His name is Ying Shu."
"You clearly don't want to recognize him and bring him back to the Xun family. Why did you let His Highness notice his handwriting just now? You know that if you check from that handwriting, Ying Shu must be involved in Cui Shaoyuan's death. What exactly do you want to do?"
"Just involved? You seem to be sure that he didn't kill the person."
Xun Zheng's words made Su Nuan feel a chill down her spine. This woman was trying to trick her. The murderer who killed Cui Shaoyuan in Xia Qingyan's memory could not be Ying Shu. That man was more muscular than Ying Shu.
But she couldn't say a word about this to Xun Zheng, because she felt that she would be in big trouble if Xun Zheng knew that she remembered what happened that night.
"Don't you know who Ying Shu is? He wouldn't kill people at will."
Xun Zheng laughed when he heard this, "You really know him. If he heard this, he would be so happy that he would forget his identity."
Su Nuan looked at Xun Zheng, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter, almost twisted into a knot. This woman didn't treat Ying Shu as her brother at all, it was a pity that Ying Shu still helped her.
"Xun Zheng, how can a woman like you be worthy of Mu Yunting's devotion to you?"
"What did you say?"
"I said you are not worthy of being the Crown Princess!"
Xun Zheng suddenly reached out and grabbed Su Nuan's neck, squeezing out three words from between her teeth: "You're looking for death."
Su Nuan felt her neck tighten and her heart began to pound.
She knew that Xun Zheng was skilled in martial arts, and the reason she dared to provoke her was because this was Mu Yunting's bedroom. She bet that Xun Zheng would not dare to attack her here, but she did not expect that this woman would react so strongly when provoked, and actually attacked her without caring.
The instinctive reaction caused by suffocation left Su Nuan no time to think. She raised her hand, grabbed Xun Zheng's wrist and pulled hard.
This was an instinctive reaction, but I didn't expect it to have an unexpected effect.
Xun Zheng felt as if her wrist was clamped by an iron clamp, and the hand that was pinching Su Nuan's neck loosened involuntarily. She was shocked by Su Nuan's strength.
Su Nuan was also a little surprised at her own strength, but she was afraid that Xun Zheng would attack her again, so she wanted her to stay away from her. After she succeeded, she pushed Xun Zheng hard.
Xun Zheng was caught off guard and was pushed back repeatedly.
Just then, Mu Yunting pushed the door open and walked in.
The moment the door opened, Xun Zheng fell to the ground.
