The prince is very cruel

Chapter 206

"The mysterious big shot in the harem?" Guan Ning was stunned.

The mysterious big figure in the harem must be a woman. Isn’t it ridiculous that the concubines in the harem live in a nunnery?

"Anyway, don't ask anymore. This matter is somewhat taboo and I dare not talk about it." Pei Nanyin said seriously.

Guan Ning nodded. It had nothing to do with him, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way, let's stop talking about this. What are your plans for the future?" Pei Nanyin suddenly asked.

"I?"

"What plan?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows and subconsciously wanted to get closer. After realizing that she was a lady from a wealthy family, he sat back down.

"Nonsense, of course it's the grudge between you and the Zhao family!" After Pei Nanyin regained her female body, her personality became more direct and free-spirited, but without the casualness of a commoner. She was very charming and unique.

"I advised you at the beginning to be patient and keep calm."

"Take a step back, the more you think about it, the angrier you get?" Guan Ningshen added.

Phew...

"Haha..." Pei Nanyin couldn't hold it back any longer and laughed out loud, her stomach aching from laughing. She had never met anyone more interesting and tough than Guan Ning in her life.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "This matter is not as simple as you think. There are some things you don't know."

He thought about what happened with Concubine Ya, and then said, "I did everything because I was forced to do it. The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. I am also being pushed forward."

"Having come this far, let's just take it one step at a time. Anyway, the right thing to do is to refuse to admit it."

Pei Nanyin frowned, worried: "Don't you know that Li Mi is missing?"

"Missing?" Guan Ning was shocked and felt like he was in a state of shock.

"Yes, I heard a rumor that the imperial court sent to White Crane Mountain only found 137 bodies, one missing, and that one was Li Mi."

"I was just about to ask you, did you neglect something?" Pei Nanyin frowned.

The two knew each other since a transaction. Guan Ning helped her kill Zhao Huan, and she helped protect the Guan family, but by now, the two had already become friends for life.

Guan Ning's face was more serious than ever before: "Impossible! I saw Li Mi burned to death with my own eyes. His body was dried up. How could he not be dead?"

"Are you sure?"

Pei Nanyin knew that it was Guan Ning who did it. Apart from this guy, no one else had the courage to do such a thing.

"This...it's hard to say."

"It's just a rumor. Even if it's true, the body might have been taken away by wild wolves in the mountains."

Guan Ning frowned and said nothing.

"Also, although I have helped you clear the suspicion this time, but... you may get into new trouble." Pei Nanyin showed a bitter and helpless expression.

"New trouble?" Guan Ning was surprised.

"Correct!"

"Do you know... why I came to you and asked you to kill Zhao Huan?" After hesitating, she decided to confess.

Guan Ning motioned for her to continue.

Pei Nanyin looked at him and said in a shocking tone: "Because he and I have an engagement!"

With a bang, a thunder exploded in Guan Ning's head.

"What the hell??"

"Shh, keep your voice down, do you want to kill me?" Pei Nanyin glared fiercely, afraid that the nuns outside would hear her. Her ferocious look was quite charming.

Guan Ning suddenly realized, so that's how it is, no wonder!

He lowered his voice: "You hired someone to kill your fiancé?"

Pei Nanyin's eyebrows raised in anger as she snorted softly, "What fiancé? That was an imperial decree issued by His Majesty to reward and win over the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi for eliminating the horse bandits in Lingnan. I have no connection with him, no feelings for him whatsoever. It's just that the imperial order cannot be disobeyed."

"What's wrong with me?"

"If I have to spend my whole life with a scum like that, I would rather commit suicide!" She was very tough in her words. Unlike most women of this era who just accept things as they come, she has her own ideas.

Guan Ning sighed in his heart. He really couldn't blame her. Zhao Huan was indeed not a good choice. He could only blame the feudal system.

Pei Nanyin finished speaking, adjusted her mood, frowned and said: "Now that he is dead, the engagement is naturally invalid. However, the Zhao family has always been domineering and will never allow others to take their things."

"And now there are these rumors between you and me... So, you understand what I mean?"
