章節 73: 073: Big brother, you can't be this honest.

Fearing that her brother was too honest, Su Xinyi stepped forward immediately and said, "In response to your highness, my brother returned home sulking about the serial murder case today. The common people are suffering, and Your Majesty is worried about it. As a palace guard, it is his duty to share the burden of the monarch and protect the people, so he decided tonight to investigate, hoping to find some clues. I insisted on accompanying my brother since I have some martial arts skills. I think it would be best if I could lend a hand, if not I can always run errands."

Yan Junchu didn't believe a word. He knew Su Yi to be an honest person who was not cunning or deceitful.

His dark eyes moved to Su Xinyi. He knew she was bold, but he hadn't realized just how bold.

Yan Junchu slightly lowered his head, his long eyelashes shielding his black eyes, making it impossible to decipher his thoughts.
