"I'll send people to investigate right away. Anyway, we can't let such an important thing as the imperial jade seal fall into the hands of Lou Mingkou!"
"You're right, but I've already sent people to look into it. Sending more won't help," Jing Xinche said calmly.
Yuan Yuhan stared fiercely ahead, his eyes as sharp as knives. "Many hands make light work. Sooner or later, Lou Mingkou will show his fox tail!"
Jing Xinche waved his hand. "Too many people will only tip off the enemy. I've already sent people from the Dark Pavilion to investigate. We'll know the answer soon."
Hearing this, everyone was surprised, especially Mu Fengqie. She could hardly believe her ears. Although she had only been in the Qin Dynasty for a short time, she had heard of the great reputation of the Dark Pavilion. Who on earth was Jing Xinche that he could command the people from the Dark Pavilion?
"You can actually order the people from the Dark Pavilion. Who exactly are you? Are you... the master of the Dark Pavilion?" Yuan Yuhan asked, his eyes wide open in a probing manner.
Jing Xinche nodded. There was no need to hide this from them. Now they were the closest people to him, and he wasn't afraid that they would betray him.
A Ru gasped in surprise. No wonder she always felt that this brother - in - law was extremely terrifying. It turned out that he was the master of the Dark Pavilion, that merciless devil. Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps. Fortunately, she had been well - behaved and hadn't angered him, or else her life might have been in danger.
A Ru nervously shrank into Mu Fengqie's arms. Mu Fengqie couldn't help but laugh. This little girl usually seemed quite bold, but in fact, she was very timid.
"Come on, he won't eat you. What are you so afraid of? Weren't you quite brave usually?" Mu Fengqie said with a doting smile.
The group laughed merrily. It seemed that only when they were together could they forget their troubles. But before they could start their meal, someone suddenly broke the tranquility.
Xiao Qing rushed in nervously. She even forgot to knock on the door and gasped, "Miss, something's wrong. The seventh princess of Beiming is here again. She's already barged in, and we couldn't stop her no matter what."
Bei Moxue knew martial arts, so the servants at the door were no match for her. What was surprising wasn't this, but how she had appeared here?
"Didn't she go back to Beiming? Are you sure it was really the seventh princess you saw?" Shen Yiru asked loudly.
Xiao Qing's head bobbed up and down like a rattle. "I saw it with my own eyes, so I came to report immediately. Miss, sir, what should we do?"
Xiao Qing knew about the feud between Bei Moxue and Jing Xinche, as well as Mu Fengqie. So the seventh princess was the least welcome person in the general's mansion.
Mu Fengqie sighed. Bei Moxue was the most unreasonable and domineering person. If they tried to stop her, things might get even uglier. "Forget it. Invite her in."
A Ru looked at Mu Fengqie and the others in confusion. She could clearly feel that all of them had changed when they heard the name of the seventh princess.
Why was the seventh princess of Beiming also in the Qin Dynasty? Could it be that she had come to the Qin Dynasty for fun like her?
"Sister Yiru, what's wrong with this seventh princess? Why do all of you look so ugly?" A Ru finally couldn't help asking.
Shen Yiru looked embarrassed. She stammered, "This... it's hard for me to say. You'd better ask your elder sister. This kind of thing should be told by the person involved."
A Ru was already confused, and after hearing this, she was even more puzzled. Her confused eyes turned to Mu Fengqie, and Mu Fengqie could only shrug helplessly.
What else could she say? She was just an annoying love rival...
"She's in love with your brother - in - law. That's all," Mu Fengqie replied calmly.
A Ru had imagined many possibilities in her mind, but she had never thought of this one. So this seventh princess was a shameless woman who clung to others?
No wonder her elder sister had looked so helpless just now. Now that this woman had bullied her elder sister, she would teach this shameless vixen a good lesson on behalf of her elder sister!
Bei Moxue walked in gracefully. After returning to Beiming, she found that she couldn't stay away from Jing Xinche for a single moment, so she had to come back alone. She felt empty - hearted whenever she couldn't see Jing Xinche.
"Long time no see. With so many people here, you won't blame me for coming uninvited, will you?" Bei Moxue showed a charming smile, but in fact, her eyes were only on Jing Xinche.
Jing Xinche was also very helpless. He wanted to get rid of Bei Moxue, but after all, she was a woman, and he had no way to deal with her.
Shen Yiru disliked such a vixen the most. She couldn't stand this kind of green - tea girl at all. "I said, seventh princess, what on earth do you want? Do you think this is Beiming? You can come and go as you please?"
Shen Yiru wasn't afraid of any princess. As long as someone made her unhappy, she wouldn't let them off easily. Now Bei Moxue had really disgusted her.
"Oh, I didn't know that Miss Shen was in charge of the general's mansion. Miss Shen and I are both guests in the general's mansion. Why are you putting on airs?" Bei Moxue still looked calm.
This was her strongest point. No matter what, she wouldn't easily expose her emotions in front of others, unless she was really provoked.
She had come back this time with a purpose. She couldn't wait any longer because Bei Moxue knew that as long as Mu Fengqie was around, Jing Xinche would never be with her. So her purpose for coming back this time was simple. One was to make Mu Fengqie disappear, and the other was to marry Jing Xinche.
Hearing this, Shen Yiru was furious. But she wasn't easy to bully either. She curled her lips and looked very cocky. "You're absolutely right, seventh princess. Although this general's mansion isn't mine, it belongs to my best friend. I do have more influence here than you, seventh princess. General Jing, am I right?"
Although Jing Xinche usually couldn't understand Shen Yiru's carefree personality, at this moment, he unexpectedly appreciated her. He nodded imperceptibly.
Bei Moxue tried hard to keep calm. She knew that she couldn't be impatient. The most important thing now was to get rid of Mu Fengqie, the biggest trouble.
"I've come this time to see General Jing. Could Madam Jing lend General Jing to me for a day?" Bei Moxue asked with a smile.
A Ru had planned to observe what kind of person Bei Moxue was, but she didn't expect her to be even more shameless than she had imagined. She really couldn't bear it any longer!
"Who do you think you are to borrow someone? Why do you think Madam Jing will lend him to you just because you ask?" A Ru couldn't help rolling her eyes.
