Pretty Consort: Prince, Don’t Run away - C146
“Why are you here?” Xi Xi Mengyao turned to look at Song Chongjing’s view and asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, before she could finish her sentence, she was grabbed by the arm and dragged over.
His movements were hasty, something she had never seen before.
Xi Xi Mengyao flung his hands away and asked: “What are you doing!”
“How long has it been since you’ve had nothing to do with yourself?!” Who knew that just as she finished speaking, she heard Song Chongjing’s words. Song Chongjing frowned, lowered his voice as though asking, and said: “The fire here, seeing that there’s someone doing it on purpose, you’re not going to go out and wait for death?”
“I just need to wait for someone to save me.” Xi Mengyao replied indifferently.
As he spoke, he turned around and pulled the old man, pushing him over as well.
“I promised this man that I would take him with me. He was also fooled by someone. I’m afraid he just wants to cut that person into a thousand pieces. ” Her words were rather frivolous, as if she was teasing him.
However, this was the truth after all.
When the old man heard this, his expression only changed for a moment before he recovered. After a while, he urged, “It’s better if you leave quickly.”
Seeing how determined he was to live, Xi Mengyao shook her head and only turned to look at Song Chongjing.
Song Chongjing frowned, he only grabbed her shoulders and brought her out, leaving the old man with the guard who followed him.
When Xi Mengyao saw it, she laughed. “I didn’t expect you to be like this, a hero saving a beauty.”
However, Song Chongjing didn’t seem to be in a good mood, and coldly said: “Shut up.”
Xi Mengyao felt that he was just inexplicably angry, and was also a little unhappy, so she ignored him.
He only clung to his shoulder as he looked at the burning courtyard behind him, shaking his head.
Only after they left did they see that the sky had already darkened.
When they rushed back, they thought that the people in the mansion had already rested. Unexpectedly, the inside of the manor was already brightly lit.
Just as they thought it was strange, they saw the butler rushing out. This time, he did not look at Song Chongjing and grabbed his arm: “You, what are you doing!”
“What can I do?” Xi Mengyao was baffled.
Even if she wanted to do something, she didn’t have the time to do it. Why was this person rushing over first? “What are you angry about? Did you delay your menopause?”
“You … “You …” Old Housekeeper pointed at Xi Mengyao with her trembling finger, but her tone of voice had already become completely incomprehensible: “You evil woman!”
Xi Mengyao just felt it was strange that she did not know how she offended her good brother. She went out for no reason, and after returning, she became like this.
She turned and looked at Song Chongjing, and asked: “Did you do something when I was leaving?”
Song Chongjing heard her complaints, shook his head and denied it, then also lightly glanced at the butler: “What exactly do you want?”
“Your Royal Highness, you must not trust this demoness!” the butler shouted.
“If it’s just these two lines, then you don’t have to say it anymore.” Song Chongjing did not have that capability anymore. After he finished speaking, he also wanted to leave.
Just then, Lu Ming walked in from the side, in his hand he was holding onto two people.
When Song Chongjing and Yue Shan saw this scene, they also felt that it was a little strange. Xi Mengyao walked up and asked: “Who is this person?”
Lu Ming merely nodded, bringing the two of them and threw them in front of Xi Mengyao: “Take a good look.”
Xi Mengyao lowered her head in doubt, and then immediately recognized them.
“Aiyo, aren’t you the esteemed guest in Old Housekeeper’s room?” Although she couldn’t confirm their relationship, she could guess.
After the Old Housekeeper heard this, his face immediately became pale white, but his aura did not lessen in the slightest, as he looked at Xi Mengyao while gritting his teeth: “Witch, how do you know about this!?”
“You’re still calling me witch?” “It seems like you are really stubborn.” Xi Mengyao simply could not understand him. She only sighed, turned around and said, “If you’re asking me in a tone, why don’t you ask your esteemed guests what they did themselves?”
With that, she stood in front of them, her face cold.
“You guys have brought these useless things over. At this time, you wouldn’t even think of harming yourself and the others.”
He pointed at them and said, “All of you get up. You guys can’t speak openly about what kind of evil woman she is. Let everyone see, this old man will act as a guarantor for all of you, and I’ll definitely not let you guys get harmed by a traitor!”
“Heh,” Xi Mengyao laughed coldly, and looked at the two of them: “Speak, if you have something to say, say it, I won’t stop you either.”
Unexpectedly, the two of them were kneeling on the ground. They could not squeeze out even half a word, and their previous arrogance was completely gone.
Seeing that, the butler was shocked too. He pointed at the group of people and scolded, “You! Didn’t you all vow to tell me that this person must be a demon? Do you have a way to deal with her?
When he said those words, even though his voice was loud, his heart no longer had any confidence.
At this time, Lu Ming walked over as well. The two people who were kneeling on the ground kicked him again, and said coldly: “Why aren’t you two coming out yet, could it be that you want someone to help you?”
After he finished speaking, a person flashed in his peripheral vision.
He turned his head abruptly and saw a black shadow flash by the corner of the street.
He immediately chased after him, but’s hidden guards reacted even faster, Xi Mengyao did not even bat an eyelid, and only saw that the guards had disappeared.
“What’s wrong?” When she asked, the group of people had already returned.
However, no one replied. When they came back, they were empty-handed.
After a moment of silence, Lu Ming returned as well. He shook his head and said to the two of them, “Someone is coming over, but he is very cunning, we were unable to catch him. “Seems like you are prepared.”
“Then there’s no need to capture him.” After Xi Mengyao heard this, she shook her head: “If it’s related to two people, I’m afraid it’s the only way.”
“I really didn’t expect this.” Xi Mengyao laughed coldly, somewhat full of ridicule, but her eyes were looking at the Old Housekeeper.
When Old Housekeeper heard these words, his heart felt that something was off. His face became even more pale, and in the end, as if he had thought of something, he kneeled down.
As Xi Mengyao watched this, he could only sigh.
This person did not seem to be a greedy person. The reason he was able to do all of this was probably because he was too paranoid after becoming old.
Thus, they were used by others to do these foolish things.
As she thought about it, Xi Mengyao also sighed, “This person, ah, when she’s old she should respect her elders. She’s always here relying on her identity and recklessly guessing at the actions of others, but I wonder how many innocent people she would cause to suffer under your false guesses.”
After saying that, she did not continue forward, but took a step back and handed everything over to Song Chongjing, “Since you feel that I’m not able to do it, then you can just watch as your master interrogates you. See for yourself what you’ve done wrong.”
“You …” Hearing her words, Song Chongjing was a little confused.
Xi Mengyao turned around and patted the bag on her waist, “I still have some things to check, wait till I find out.”
Xi Mengyao said, and without waiting for the person beside him to react, she entered the house.
