On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law Chapter 395

Chapter 395 alarmed Zhou Mu

“I saw Mr. Yan's body with my own eyes, how could Mr. Yan fake his death?!” Zhou Xing retorted to Su Ho coldly.

Su Ho was speechless for a moment, and after a while she said: "Then how could His Highness be so sure that it was Mr. Yan's body? It was the first time His Highness saw Mr. Yan today, and the body was burnt beyond recognition. In this case, How can His Highness be sure that it is Mr. Yan?"

Zhou Xing jumped up and suddenly felt that what Su Ho said made sense.

How can he be sure that the Mr. Yan he saw is Mr. Yan? He determined that the corpse was Mr. Yan simply because of the piece of white jade on the charred corpse.

It's just that the fire was so big at that time, Gu Xiyan and Hu Die left, and Mr. Yan was the only one left in the house.

He saw Xi Yan leave, but did not see Mr. Yan leave.

There must have been people in the house at that time, and it is also true that Mr. Yan set himself on fire after they entered the house.

He told all the details. Su Ho's eyes flashed slightly after hearing this: "Maybe there is a possibility. That is, the princess has left, but she can control the deserted house from a distance, and then set off the fire..."

Speaking of this, her voice faded away.

It would be possible in modern times, but this is ancient times. It is impossible for Gu Xiyan to let the house catch fire spontaneously after leaving the house for such a long time. This is unreasonable.

Su Ho obviously also thought about this possibility, "Perhaps the king and you are overthinking it. It is a fact that Mr. Yan is dead. No matter how reluctant you are to believe it, Mr. Yan has been burned to death."

"I think this is too coincidental. Mr. Yan just showed up, and Mr. Yan died when His Highness wanted to arrest someone. It's like this is a play, deliberately made to make His Highness think that Mr. Yan is dead!" Su Ho's eyes Zhuo Zhuo said: "Is it possible that all this is the prince's plan?!"

She knew that Zhou Xing favored Gu Xiyan, but the relationship between Zhou Xing and Gu Xiyan was destined to be hostile, so there was no need to worry about Gu Xiyan.

She only needs to provoke a few words from time to time, and she can make Gu Xiyan stand on the opposite side of Zhou Xing, and it is effortless to provoke her.

Zhou Xing was silent for a long time before saying: "According to your statement, Xiyan knew that the king's target was Mr. Yan, so he set a trap in advance to make the king believe that Mr. Yan was dead? How do you think Xiyan could know that the king was dead in advance? Is your target Mr. Yan?”

It couldn't be that Liu Chaoyan betrayed him and joined forces with Xiyan to deal with him.

Given the grudges between Liu Chaoyan and Xi Yan, and Liu Chaoyan's deep love for him, he was sure that Liu Chaoyan would not betray him.

Su Ho was asked a question and couldn't answer.

"I just think there is such a possibility. After all, what happened today is so coincidental that it makes people suspicious." Su Ho took a step back knowingly.

Anyway, she has planted the seeds of doubt in Zhou Xing's heart, which is enough.

"Stand back, I want to be alone." Zhou Xing was still affected by Su Ho's words and felt even more depressed.

After Su Ho retired, the room returned to silence.

Zhou Xing grew up in a crowded place like the palace, developing a suspicious temperament and tending to make everything complicated.

In addition, he has always felt that today's events are a bit strange, and the possibility Su Ho mentioned actually makes sense to him. He used to think that Xi Yan was a simple girl raised in a boudoir, but later he found out that he underestimated Xi Yan.

Since Xiyan can organize such a successful food festival, is it normal for her to do other unexpected things?

　　It is said that Xi Yan went to the southern suburbs this evening, leaving half an hour earlier than him, but returning home an hour later than him. What was Xi Yan doing at this hour?

Mr. Yan's back also felt familiar to him. Where had he seen it before? Why can't I remember it?

Zhou Xing racked his brains and still couldn't remember where he had seen Mr. Yan.

After Gu Xiyan returned to the Zhou Mansion, she immediately burned Mr. Yan's men's clothes.

Qiu Shi felt relieved after seeing that Gu Xiyan had returned safely. "If you have anything to say, just tell me." Gu Xiyan saw that Qiushi was hesitant to speak.

"His Highness somehow knew that the girl had left the Zhou Mansion with only Xiaodie. He left the palace in a hurry and came to Qishiyuan to ask the slave where the girl had gone. The slave said that the girl had gone to Bafang Alley. It was only a few steps away from His Highness I have been out looking for a girl for more than an hour, and I am afraid that His Highness is still looking for a girl." Qiushi became anxious and changed the title to Gu Xiyan back to the one she used before getting married.

Gu Xiyan's face changed slightly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

How anxious would Zhou Mu be if he couldn't find her in Bafang Hutong?

"I saw that the prince and concubine were busy burning the evidence, so I didn't dare to disturb her," Qiushi said.

Gu Xiyan walked out of Qi Shiyuan and paced back and forth at the door. After waiting for a while, Zhou Mu didn't come home, so she decided to go out to look for him.

When she went to Bafang Hutong, she didn't see Zhou Mu. When she went to Su Mansion, she found out that Zhou Mu had come to see her an hour ago, and then she went to nowhere.

For a moment, she stood blankly in front of the Su Mansion, without any idea.

"Xiyan, let's go back to Zhou Mansion first? Maybe His Highness has already gone back?" Hu Die went to Gu Xiyan to suggest something.

Gu Xiyan stood stunned for a moment, then got on the carriage and returned to Zhou Mansion.

But after she came back, Zhou Mu was still missing. She guessed that Zhou Mu got the news about her and went to find her somewhere. Could that place be the southern suburbs?

Her heart sank at the thought of this possibility.

Facts proved that Gu Xiyan's guess was correct.

After the guards of the Zhou Mansion sent someone into the palace to deliver the news to Zhou Mu, Zhou Mu left everything he was doing and left the palace.

Because Zhou Xing was eyeing Xiyan covetously, and Xiyan happened to be alone again, he was afraid that Zhou Xing would be unfavorable to Gu Xiyan.

He first returned to Zhou Mansion and asked Qiushi where Gu Xiyan had gone. Qiushi said that Gu Xiyan went to Bafang Hutong to find Su Mei, so he went to Bafang Hutong.

There was no trace of Xi Yan in Bafang Hutong, so he went to the Su Mansion to look for someone. When he asked, he found out that Su Mei had left the Su family early in the morning and her whereabouts were unknown.

He suddenly panicked, and for a moment he didn't know where to look for Xi Yan.

Zhiyuan reminded him that a secret guard was sent to protect Su Mei. Maybe he could contact the secret guard protecting Su Mei and know the whereabouts of Su Mei.

Later, I did contact the secret guard protecting Su Mei, and I found out that Su Mei had gone to an abandoned house in the southern suburbs early in the morning.

Later, the secret guard saw Xi Yan appearing in the abandoned house. Shortly after Xi Yan entered the house, Zhou Xing brought a group of masters to lurk near the house.

When Zhou Mu heard this, he rushed to the southern suburbs in a hurry.

When he went to the southern suburbs, it was burned to ruins. Coincidentally, not only Zhao Qingqi, the prime minister of Dali Temple, was present, but also Xu Yanqing.

At the moment, he didn't care that Xu Yanqing was his love rival, and couldn't wait to find out Xi Yan's whereabouts.

Xu Yanqing knew Zhou Mu's anxiety, but he also knew that something was wrong with the current situation. He rushed in front of Zhou Mu and said, "Your Highness, can you take a step to speak?"

Zhou Mu is so anxious because he must not know Xi Yan's other identity.
