Chapter 887: Chapter 888 I Really Deserve It

Meng Zhuqing could only walk to the table, open the bundle, and then he saw that there were two sets of blue men’s clothing inside.

Wild Goose Jade then spoke indifferently, "You have helped me a lot, and I don’t really have anything to repay you with. Last time I saw you made me two sets of clothes, so I thought I’d also have someone make two sets for you as a way of repayment."

But—

Actually, she had made the clothes herself.

Actually, this wasn’t a repayment, but a birthday gift for him.

However, Meng Zhuqing didn’t know these two facts, and he truly believed that Wild Goose Jade was repaying him.

Meng Zhuqing looked at Wild Goose Jade with mixed feelings for a long while, then he put the clothes back into the bundle and asked softly, "The Fifth Prince... was it you who killed him?"

Wild Goose Jade was initially startled, not understanding why Meng Zhuqing would ask such a question. Then, she became angry, her stunning face turning even colder, thinking that Meng Zhuqing was accusing her unjustly.

Without answering, she said nothing and got up, intending to leave.

She regretted it!

She should not have come!

But she had only taken one step toward the door when Meng Zhuqing stopped her.

"Miss, I am really sorry."

Upon hearing Meng Zhuqing’s words, Wild Goose Jade sneered, "Sorry for what?"

Meng Zhuqing said, "Our lord ordered me to capture you."

"Do you think I killed the Fifth Prince?"

"...It’s just a suspicion." After a pause, Meng Zhuqing urgently added, "If you didn’t do it, as long as you explain things clearly to our lord, he won’t make things difficult for you."

"You, really, are, loyal!" She spoke slowly, her sarcasm very clear.

Meng Zhuqing, silent.

Wild Goose Jade continued sarcastically, "If your lord ordered you to kill me, you would probably do it, right?"

Meng Zhuqing was silent again for a while before he confirmed, "Yes. But I—" after killing you, would die with you.

Before he could finish his sentence, Wild Goose Jade cut him off, laughing, "So this is really walking into a trap for me. I truly deserve it."

"Miss..."

As Meng Zhuqing was feeling conflicted and pained, Wild Goose Jade unsheathed her sword and without any courtesy, stabbed at Meng Zhuqing.

If Meng Zhuqing didn’t dodge, he would certainly be pierced through the heart.

But Meng Zhuqing dodged.

Once he dodged Wild Goose Jade’s sword, Meng Zhuqing also drew his own sword, and then, he attacked Wild Goose Jade.

Wild Goose Jade was no match for Meng Zhuqing; after more than forty moves, Meng Zhuqing captured her.

Only after tying up Wild Goose Jade did Meng Zhuqing apologize again, "I am really sorry."

Wild Goose Jade simply closed her eyes, not giving Meng Zhuqing as much as a glance, nor speaking any further with him.

Seeing Wild Goose Jade like this, Meng Zhuqing’s eyes were filled with complexity as he pursed his lips, and then, he took Wild Goose Jade to Prince Yi’s Mansion and confined her in a secret room there.

When dawn broke, Meng Zhuqing went to report to An Jing and Xiao Changyi that he had captured Wild Goose Jade.

After having breakfast, An Jing and Xiao Changyi, along with their four children, entered the Imperial Capital.

First, they took the four children to Li Wuyu for a while before An Jing and Xiao Changyi went to Prince Yi’s Mansion.

Meng Zhuqing was already at Prince Yi’s Mansion.

Although Xiao Changyi had never stayed at Prince Yi’s Mansion, it was still occupied.

Xiao Changyi was the foremost among the princes, thus Prince Yi’s Mansion was the grandest of all mansions.

Given that Prince Yi’s Mansion was so large, it couldn’t just sit empty and overgrown; there had to be someone to manage it.

Although Xiao Changyi had never visited Prince Yi’s Mansion before, Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing had been there numerous times, sometimes by coincidence even staying in a guest room overnight.
