Chapter 837

Chen Ning's eyes turned and she revealed a look of understanding, "You're saying that a man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring is his crime?"

"That's right." Mo Chuan gave her a smile of praise. She really was smart, understanding with just a hint.

"I will definitely keep this secret and definitely won't reveal it. You can be assured." She promised.

"Towards you, of course I'm assured. There are only a few people that know about this matter. You, me, doctor Zhang, and Zhui Feng, other than the four of us, there can't be a fifth person that knows!"

"Then ….. You won't even tell Xiao Si?"

Mo Chuan nodded, "It's not that I don't trust Xiao Si, but the fewer people that know about this the better. Xiao Si is naturally loyal to me and would never betray me, but he is still young and can't resist some kind of temptation ….. For example, that girl of yours, Xiao Ru." He looked at her with a smile.

She blurted out, "Xiao Si is a eunuch, how could Xiao Ru tempt him?"

"That's hard to say. Are eunuchs not men? Eunuchs also have the feelings of men. This child Xiao Si's life is very pitiful. He entered the palace when he was very young and was cleansed, I'm afraid he doesn't even know the difference between a man and a woman ….. "

Mo Chuan had a thoughtful look. He shook his head and stopped talking.

Chen Ning was too embarrassed to ask, "Alright, I understand. I won't even tell Xiao Ru, can you be assured like this?"

"Ning 'er, you still haven't told me, why did prince Na Mu let you go? According to what I know, he is infatuated with you and is determined to have you. What method did you use to escape? "

This question had been in his heart for a long time, but he never had a chance to ask her.

She combed her hair and gave him a playful smile.

"I gave him a gift, a gift that he couldn't refuse. I asked him, did he want the gift or me? In the end, he chose that gift, so he let me go. "She said with a smile.

"What gift was that? Even the East Qin Crown Prince couldn't refuse it? "Mo Chuan was very curious.

"Un, this gift isn't worth a single coin to you, but to Na Mu Cuo, it is a treasure that cannot be bought with money." She purposely kept him in suspense, making his heart itch.

"You little girl, what kind of gift is it!"

She smiled and finally said, "Actually, it's just some blueprints for building houses. I drew a few pages for him, teaching him how to build houses and sturdy bridges. Tell me, these blueprints are worthless to you, right?"

Mo Chuan was even more doubtful, "It's the building drawings? What kind of treasure is this, isn't it easy for him to build a house? Our West Chu has skilled craftsmen in this field, the houses they build are spectacular. As long as he says a word, he can take away a large group of craftsmen, how could he give up on you for a few blueprints? This is simply unbelievable! "
