Prince Xiang's son
Yan Mu suddenly remembered what the agent said when he bought the shop.
The intermediary said: Prince Xiang's son used to like to visit this shop the most.
The intermediary also said: Ever since King Xiang and his wife were burned to death, this shop has been haunted by ghosts.
Yan Mu knelt down, touched A Yu's face, and said softly, "A Yu misses his parents, so that's why he stayed here all this time?"
A Yu was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "Well, and I'm also afraid of being recognized by others."
He was only eight years old and lost his parents overnight.
He dared not go out into the street and meet people.
He can only hide in the darkness.
Chu Cong also had a distressed look on his face. He took A Yu's hand, came to the courtyard and sat down, and asked, "The night Uncle Xiang Wang was burned to death, I was chased and killed by the eldest prince to the cliff, so I didn't care about it." I don't know the specific situation. Ayu, what's going on?"
As soon as this was mentioned, A Yu's small body trembled, and she sobbed, "My father and mother were burned to death by the eldest prince, I saw it with my own eyes."
Yan Mu clearly felt Chu Cong gasp.
"That day, I asked the servant to put on my clothes and pretend to be me, and then I went out to play secretly. When I came back, I saw the eldest prince led people to lock the gate, guarded the palace, and burned the palace to the ground. ashes."
A Yu grabbed the corner of Chu Cong's clothes and tremblingly said, "Second Cousin, I remember that there was a woman beside the First Prince at that time, wearing the exact same bead string as Yu Yuan's."
"Second cousin, Yu Yuan must have some kind of relationship with the eldest prince." A Yu insisted.
Chu Cong said nothing.
He has investigated Yu Yuan's life experience, since his mother died at the age of five, he has been growing up in Qingshui Village.
Besides, the location of Qingshui Village is extremely remote, if Yu Yuan is really a spy, then what's the point of the First Prince placing the spy in such a remote mountain village
Besides, the string of beads was redeemed by Chu Cong himself.
Therefore, Chu Cong did not believe that Yu Yuan had any relationship with the First Prince.
"Ayu, did you really see clearly?" Yan Mu frowned.
"Yeah." Ayu nodded with great certainty.
Yan Mu thought for a while, then said softly, "Ah Yu, can you promise me something?"
"Sister Yan, tell me." A Yu said.
"Until the investigation is clear, can Ayu not tell Yu Yuan about the bead string?" Yan Mu asked earnestly.
"But Sister Yan, Yu Yuan may be a bad person..." A Yu was very angry.
"Ayu, I'll just be your sister and beg you, okay?" Yan Mu said seriously.
After she came to this different world, she had never bowed her head to anyone, and she had never begged anyone with such a humble attitude.
Ayu was the first.
Ayu was stunned.
"Sister Yan, what are you doing?" A Yu's chubby waved his hands helplessly, "Sister Yan is the best to A Yu, and A Yu will keep it in mind."
Chu Cong did not expect that Yan Mu would beg for Yu Yuan.
"Ayu, that string of beads is a relic left to him by Yu Yuan's mother. Yu Yuan suffered a lot for this string of beads before." Yan Mu said seriously: "You can investigate the origin of the string of beads, but before the matter is settled, Don't let Yu Yuan know about this before you know it."
Yan Mu couldn't imagine it.
Because of this string of beads, Yu Yuan stayed in Zhang Liehu's house as a white laborer for eleven years, and was coldly and insulted by the villagers.
Now relying on just a guess, it is asserted that the origin of the beads is suspicious, and Yu Yuan's life experience is suspected.
It is equivalent to directly denying Yu Yuan's past.
This hurt Yu Yuan too much.
Fate has never given Yu Yuan any sweetness, but she wants Yu Yuan to live a better life.
"...Okay." Ayu agreed in a low voice.
The appearance of his parents burned to death in the fire repeatedly appeared in front of him, his eyes were red and his sanity disappeared from the excitement.
In fact, calming down now, he also knew that he was too excited.
If Yu Yuan really had something to do with the First Prince, I'm afraid he wouldn't be alive today.
"Ayu, thank you."
Yan Mu stroked the top of his hair, and leaned over to kiss A Yu's chubby face.
A Yu was taken aback, and the whole person stayed in place.
After a long time, he pointed at Yan Mu tremblingly, and said, "Sister Yan kissed me... Sister Yan actually kissed me!"
His face was as red as a monkey's butt.
Chu Cong was immersed in the death of King Xiang and his wife and couldn't extricate himself. Seeing A Yu like this, he immediately felt better.
"You actually managed to subdue him. This kid has been a demon king since he was a child, and he doesn't listen to anyone." Chu Cong sighed.
"He's a good boy, but he's only eight years old now, so he's unavoidably naughty." Yan Mu sighed.
Children are like this, their temperament is too precocious, which is not a good thing.
"Let's not talk about that, didn't you say you would come to visit Yu Yuan and inspect the shop?" Yan Mu said. .
"Forget it, let me inspect the shop first." Chu Cong said with a wry smile.
Although he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Yu Yuan, Chu Cong really didn't know what kind of mentality he should use to face him.
"Okay." Yan Mu understood Chu Cong's mentality, so he didn't force it.
For a while, A Yu couldn't figure out his feelings for Yu Yuan, so he also clamored to inspect the shop with the two of them.
Looking at the figures of the people going away, Yu Yuan slowly came out from behind the pillar.
The autumn wind was bleak, and he looked at the fallen leaves all over the ground in a daze.
Ammu...
Yu Yuan thought of his deception and concealment to Yan Mu, and suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart.
He stood there in silence for a long time, and then he clutched his abdomen and slowly returned to the house.
*************************
After Yan Mu led Chu Cong to inspect the shop, it was already evening.
Fortunately, Chu Cong was very satisfied with her arrangement and expressed affirmation of the business plan.
With Chu Cong's affirmation, it's almost time for the bookstore to open.
Chu Cong said that he wanted to find a gentleman to count the auspicious days, and he would come over to watch the opening of the bookstore in person.
Because of the backing of Chu Cong, the benefactor's father, Yan Mu did not consider the cost when decorating.
And the repair time is very long.
She bought the shop a month ago, and due to her meticulous decoration concept, she has been dawdling until now and has not opened it yet.
When I think of my own efforts, I will finally reap the results.
Yan Mu immediately rubbed his hands excitedly.
The dinner is still bought from Baoyuelou, Chu Cong treats guests today, and the table is full.
Yan Mu shared a table with Yu Yuan, Chu Cong, and A Yu, and the rest of the staff and guards shared a table.
Today is an exception to drink, everyone is lively and the atmosphere is particularly festive.
A Yu was still feeling awkward, unwilling to sit beside Yu Yuan.
But Yu Yuan doesn't care about these, as long as Yan Mu sits beside him is enough.
The technology of brewing wine in this era is not very advanced, and the taste of the wine is sweet, with a hint of spicy.
A Yu stole the wine and got drunk, lying on Chu Cong's knee and acting like a baby.
Chu Cong was also slightly drunk, patting A Yu's back repeatedly.
Chu Cong had always been lenient towards his servants, and the big man at the next table was already drunk and punching.
The bright moon hangs high, the small courtyard is still bustling with people, and the lights are bright like daytime.
Yu Yuan couldn't drink because of his injury.
He sat and watched coldly.
All the excitement has nothing to do with him, he is the one rejected by the world.
There was a soft touch on his shoulder, and the girl's breath scattered on his neck, with a numb itching.
He turned his head and found that Yan Mu's cheeks were flushed, and she was lying on his shoulder with drunken eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked hoarsely.
"Your injury is not healed yet, so you can't drink secretly." Yan Mu's eyes were shining like the bright moon in the sky.
Yu Yuan nodded obediently, and said softly: "Okay, I won't drink."
Yan Mu smiled silly while holding the wine glass, she stared at Yu Yuan's face, tilted her head and said, "You are so pretty."
Yu Yuan's heart moved, but he turned to Yan Mu and said, "Amu, you are drunk."
After all, he took the wine glass in Yan Mu's hand with a little force.
"I'm not drunk. The alcohol content in this place is very low, so I won't be drunk." Yan Mu didn't seem to react, she still smiled silly.
this place
Yu Yuan thought of Yan Mu's wound that suddenly disappeared, and always felt that this sentence was intriguing.
He was about to ask in detail, but Yan Mu slammed down on the table.
Yan Mu turned sideways and almost rolled off the table.
Yu Yuan quickly caught her.
Yan Mu looked really drunk.
He put away those thoughts of wanting to ask in detail, and gently hugged the girl in his arms.
His eyes were deep, filled with many emotions, and finally turned into a soft sigh.
"Amu, fortunately you are still by my side." He leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered.
Yan Mu raised his head ignorantly, and stared at Yu Yuan for a long time.
Her eyes were too clear and bright, being looked at by such eyes, Yu Yuan's heart beat inexplicably faster.
He has performed extremely dangerous missions, and he has also done many things that ordinary people cannot accept.
But at those times, his mood didn't fluctuate much.
Now just being looked at by such a pair of eyes, his heart is in chaos.
He is addicted to Yan Mu's eyes, as long as he is stared at by those eyes, he will be defeated and surrender with his hands raised.
Yu Yuan looked away uncomfortably, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The girl leaned into his arms with a smirk, and whispered indistinctly, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
Yu Yuan felt relieved inexplicably, he stroked Yan Mu's hair.
"It's nothing." Yu Yuan said, "You're drunk, I'll take you back to your room first."
Yan Mu heard clearly this time, she nodded seriously.
Yu Yuan didn't want others to touch Yan Mu, so he didn't accept help from others.
He covered his lower abdomen with one hand, and supported Yan Mu with the other.
When the two came to the wing, Yu Yuan put down Yan Mu and was about to leave, but a small hand firmly grasped the corner of his clothes.
He froze slightly, and turned around slowly.
"Amu?" Yu Yuan asked softly.
"...can you accompany me?" After a long time, the girl whispered.
"Why do you want me to accompany you all of a sudden?" Yan Mu's hand was still firmly grasping the corner of his clothes, Yu Yuan could only sit down by the bed.
Normally, didn't Yan Mu always say that men and women are different, and shouldn't be too intimate
Why did he offer to accompany her today
"Because I don't want you to be alone." Yan Mu said with lowered eyes.
For a moment, Yu Yuan couldn't tell whether Yan Mu was really drunk or fake drunk.
A strand of hair stuck to Yan Mu's lips, Yu Yuan's eyes darkened, and he reached out to gently brush it away.
Even though it was a girl's drunken words, Yu Yuan's heart still warmed up.
The Adam's apple moved slightly, and he slowly lowered his body, approaching the girl's ear.
Breathing warm, the girl flinched slightly.
Yu Yuan maintained this posture and was silent for a long time.
He thought of those sleeping scents, and the fact that he deliberately aggravated his injuries to make Yan Mu worry.
He lowered his eyes and whispered to the girl, "I'm sorry."
Sorry for deceiving you earlier.
