Chapter 374 The Beautiful Courtesan Attracts the King's Heart 19
But who is Chu Yuan? It would be strange if she could stay in the house quietly as Zhou Xianjin expected. As soon as Zhou Xianjin left, Chu Yuan followed him out.
It was this unintentional action that made her discover an incredible secret.
No wonder Zhou Xianjin was in a hurry to leave just now, it turned out that he was offering advice and help here without telling her.
"Cough cough." Chu Yuan coughed lightly outside the door, causing the two men in the room to have their hair stand on end. At this moment, a common thought emerged in their hearts: It's over!
After a battle of glances, Chu Nian was the first to give in. She stood up and opened the door: "Ah...Sister, why are you here?"
Chu Yuan half-closed his eyes and glanced back and forth between the two people in front of him: "What's wrong? Can I come to your room now?"
Chu Nian shook her head like a rattle, and waved her hands constantly: "No, no, no, my room, Sister can come anytime."
Then he pushed Zhou Xianjin forward a few steps: "Zhou Xianjin took the initiative to come to me, and he was also the one who didn't let me tell you, sister. If you want to settle the score, go find him."
Zhou Xianjin also lost his temper towards the brother and sister. He thought that he was the eldest son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, and everyone who saw him would respectfully call him "Young Master". But these two siblings were of the same bloodline, and whenever they saw him, they would call him by his name, and they did so with confidence.
There was no way out. The elder sister would get angry if provoked, and the younger brother would get furious if provoked. Zhou Xianjin could only admit defeat and behave himself in front of these two people.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I hope you won't get angry first, or it will attract other people's attention."
While Zhou Xianjin was talking, he reached out to pull Chu Yuan's arm, wanting her to come in and talk first.
This action seemed to ignite a nerve in Chu Nian: "Let go of your hands. Also, who allowed you to call me sister by my nickname?"
Seeing that the two men were about to push and shove each other, Chu Yuan quickly pushed them into the door one by one.
Although she had taken some measures before coming, it was still better to speak quietly in case someone woke up in the middle of the process and exposed their plan, which would then ruin all their efforts.
In fact, Chu Yuan was not very angry about the fact that Zhou Xianjin and Chu Nian had joined forces. She had originally found it strange that the prince had embezzled disaster relief funds more than once or twice, so why did it happen to be exposed this time?
I didn't expect that my younger brother was also involved in this. That's right, with the ability of Xiaoying Pavilion, this matter is just a trivial matter.
However, in order to prevent the two men from hiding anything from her in the future, Chu Yuan kept a straight face and looked at the two men opposite her with a scrutinizing attitude: "Tell me, what's going on."
Both of them were very perceptive and knew that the current situation was that those who confessed would be treated leniently while those who resisted would be treated severely, so they began to rush to tell the story of what had happened.
Chu Nian: "We joined forces to deal with the prince."
Zhou Xianjin: "I have provided evidence that the prince has embezzled disaster relief funds over the years."
Chu Nian: "I used the power of my sect to spread the evidence and aroused public outrage."
......
In this way, you and I talked one after another and restored the whole story of the matter clearly.
Needless to say, what happened next was that both of them used all the power in their hands to push the situation in the direction that was most unfavorable to the prince.
Chu Yuan snorted coldly: "I thought that things would not happen so coincidentally. It turns out that you two planned all this behind my back."
"Yuanyuan, don't be angry. I did this because I didn't want to involve you. You don't know how scared I was after hearing about your previous experiences. I was afraid that if something happened accidentally, you would get hurt again. By then, it would be too late to regret it."
The anxiety in Zhou Xianjin's eyes was not fake. Strangely enough, there were definitely a lot of secret guards trained in the Marquis' Mansion, but he had never felt pity for anyone before. It was just a matter of willingness to fight and be beaten.
Those who could become the secret guards of the Marquis' Mansion had all received the money they deserved, or had the Marquis' Mansion help them fulfill their wishes.
If you receive favors from the Marquis' Mansion, you have to work for it. This is a fair and equal exchange.
But after meeting Chu Yuan, Zhou Xianjin felt distressed when he thought about how she had also experienced these cruel competitions and selections, and how many times she had been on the brink of life and death to get to this point today, and he secretly vowed that he would never let her get hurt again.
Although Chu Nian still couldn't get used to this person calling him "sister" so affectionately, he also understood that at this moment the two of them were on the same front, and they would prosper together and suffer together.
Whether or not I can gain my sister’s forgiveness depends on this one move.
So Chu Nian abandoned her sense of shame, stepped forward, hugged Chu Yuan's arm, shook her arm slightly, and said flatteringly:
"Sister, don't be angry. I swear that I will never hide anything from you again. If you break your promise, God will punish you...well..."
Seeing that the kid, who was half a head shorter than him, was about to say something unlucky, Chu Yuan immediately reached out and covered his mouth, while silently repeating in his heart: No taboos, no taboos.
Zhou Xianjin looked at the familiar scene in front of him and vaguely recalled his past self.
At the same time, I glanced out the window. Well, good, the weather is good today. There shouldn't be any more lightning and thunder for no reason.
Chu Yuan also knew how to stop while he was ahead. Seeing that the two men had realized their mistakes and made promises, Chu Yuan stopped trying to take advantage of them.
To be honest, Chu Yuan actually felt quite happy about their behavior. Two handsome guys, one big and one small, coaxed him like this. No matter who it was, they wouldn't be able to hold out for long under such an attack.
"Okay, then I'll reluctantly forgive you. It's too late, I'll go back and rest first." After saying that, she turned around and left Chu Nian's room very smoothly, yawning and going back to sleep.
Zhou Xianjin and Chu Nian looked at each other and asked, "Does your sister approve of our behavior?"
"That should be the case. Anyway, my sister didn't say that I couldn't continue to get involved. Come on, sit down. What did you say was the next plan?"
Chu Yuan, who eavesdropped a few more words at the door, left contentedly. With the Prince of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and the head of the Xiaoying Pavilion joining forces, it is believed that the prince will not be able to stay in that position for long.
With two huge Buddhas guarding the Ninth Prince's side, there's no need for a small secret guard like her to take action.
Who wouldn’t like a life where you can win without doing anything?
