Mu Jingyan's eyes turned red, he bit his lip lightly and said, "Not good."
After saying that, he pulled his hand back and walked away quickly with his head down.
Shangguan Wanning stood there for a long time. She didn't know what had happened during this period. She really wanted to see Mu Jingrui right away.
However, there is a difference between men and women, and there are many people and eyes. How do you meet?
Shangguan Wanning became absent-minded and restless.
On the way back after dinner, she was still worried about this matter.
"Lutong, isn't there a curfew tonight, and my parents didn't go back so early. I want to go to Huxin Pavilion to sit down."
"Yes, Miss."
Lutong then instructed the coachman to turn the carriage around.
Around the pavilion in the middle of the lake, small boats rafted on the lake, and the candlelight fell on the lake surface. The breeze gently blew, creating circles of ripples.
Shangguan Wanning sat at the bow of the boat, putting her fingers into the water, and the coolness came from her fingertips, making her thoughts gradually calm.
Suddenly, she felt the hull sinking, and suddenly looked up and met a pair of deep eyes.
"Jing Rui?"
Shangguan Wanning's heartbeat was accelerating. He just thought of him in his heart when he appeared in front of him.
This feeling brought her an indescribable wonder.
"Miss..."
Lutong heard the movement and walked out from inside, and was a little stunned when she saw Mu Jingrui.
"Let the boatman follow the boat ahead."
Mu Jingrui's expression was serious and his eyes were always looking forward.
"Do as you do." Shangguan Wanning winked Lutong, and Lutong left in response.
"Who is sitting on the boat in front?" Shangguan Wanning asked softly.
Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Wanning looked at each other with their tense nerves relaxed a little. The breeze blew by, mixed with a little chill, and his heart became softer.
"Let's talk about it when you go in."
Shangguan Wanning followed Mu Jingrui into the small cabin, and the narrow space became a little crowded.
Both of them could feel each other's breathing.
"Jing Yan said that you are unhappy these days. Has something happened?" Shangguan Wanning tentatively.
Mu Jingrui pondered for a moment. He did not choose to hide the matter from Shangguan Wanning, but instead briefly said the matter.
Being betrayed and people suspect it is indeed a not pleasant experience.
However, Shangguan Wanning breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that King Zhennan, who had not become famous, had also had such an experience. She began to understand why Mu Jingrui was so cruel to his opponents in the last life.
"You didn't stay in the Prince's Mansion tonight...Who was on the boat in front?"
"The eldest son of the Grand Tutor Sun's family, Sun Jinyao."
"he?"
Shangguan Wanning had a vague impression of Sun Jinyao. She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, Sun Jinyao was almost Xiao Zhenting's best friend.
Grand Tutor Sun is the teacher of Xiao Zhenting and Xiao Yujue. Both were taught by Grand Tutor Sun. Xiao Zhenting has been smart since childhood. He is proficient in poetry and songs at a young age and is deeply loved by the emperor; but Xiao Yujue has mediocre qualifications.
In front of the emperor, Grand Tutor Sun also praised Xiao Zhenting very much and did not mention Xiao Yujue at all.
Thinking of this, Grand Tutor Sun is undoubtedly from Xiao Zhenting's side.
"Why do you want to follow Sun Jinyao?"
"I went to investigate every place where Liu Mao and Liu Xian settled after they arrived in the capital. I found that they had lived in an old house on the outskirts of the Sun family. According to the neighbors around, they were injured at that time.
.”
"They lived there for five days and left. For the injured, they must have chosen a place they think is safe to recover from. So I think...they assassinated the prince and pulled me into the water, which may be related to the Sun family."
Shangguan Wanning felt thoughtful and frowned slightly.
"But... I remember that your father has always had a good relationship with Grand Tutor Sun."
A sneer appeared on the corner of Mu Jingrui's mouth, and Shangguan Wanning felt the sudden change and the temperature dropped sharply.
"So what's wrong? Everyone flies in the face of disaster. After the Mu family's accident, who has come forward and said something to my father? Your father and my father have a good relationship, but it's not..."
Mu Jingrui's words came to an abrupt end.
He saw the sadness that finally flashed through Shangguan Wanning's eyes, and... it seemed like panic.
Mu Jingrui remembered what Shangguan Wanning said to him.
"No matter what happens in the future, don't hate me, don't hate my dad."
"I'm sorry..." Shangguan Wanning's heart sank.
She understood how much resentment Mu Jingrui felt in his heart could not be relieved.
In his previous life, everyone in the Shangguan family was dead, and he did not let her go; he left her by his side, and he didn't know whether it was giving her wealth or torture her for the rest of her life.
"It has nothing to do with you." Mu Jingrui's tone was no longer so cold, and he lifted the curtain in the cabin and looked out.
A face came over so recklessly.
Lutong fell backwards in fear and almost screamed.
Mu Jingrui secretly blamed himself for being careless. Someone got close to him and didn't know what to do if he encountered someone who was plotting against him?
"Lutong, what's wrong?"
Shangguan Wanning saw Lutong and Mu Jingrui almost colliding together, and covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
"Miss...that ship...the ship stopped..." Lu Tong was afraid of Mu Jingrui, and even stuttered when she spoke.
Mu Jingrui looked over with the bright moonlight. Sure enough, the boat stopped in the middle of the lake, and even the boatman was sent back to another boat.
"Did Sun Jinyao make an appointment with someone to meet on the boat?" Shangguan Wanning was a little nervous.
Mu Jingrui thought for a moment. "I'll go and see, you're staying here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gently tapped his toes and quietly stepped over the water and boarded Sun Jinyao's ship.
The woman's shy laughter came from the cabin.
"Huh... Master Sun, why did you bring someone to such a place? It's small and crowded..."
"You don't understand this. How boring it is in the room. Look, how good it is now? You are enjoying the moon with the breeze and you, a little beauty, are like a living god."
Sun Jinyao gently stroked the woman's face and pressed her down with a smile.
Mu Jingrui didn't expect that after following him for a long time, Sun Jinyao sneaked away from the prince's mansion early, in order to drink and have fun.
He cursed secretly, thinking of Grand Tutor Sun and even his friend, he ignored his father and felt angry.
A grim smile appeared on the corner of Mu Jingrui's mouth, and secretly shook the bottom of the boat with his palm force, and then returned to Shangguan Wanning's boat.
"How is it?" Shangguan Wanning asked anxiously.
Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wanning's simple eyes and remembered the scene he saw on Sun Jinyao's boat just now. His heart felt warm and his face was a little red.
He hurriedly avoided Shangguan Wanning's gaze, coughed lightly, and said, "It's okay, no suspicious, let's go."
Shangguan Wanning ordered the boatman to row the boat back to the shore. Soon after, a noisy and messy cry of help came from behind.
