Qiao Jinniang said, "But when you went to investigate those illicit salt dealings, didn't Xie Yun block a knife for you? He saved your life."
Lu Chen said, "It was fake. He did it to see what his cousin would do. If he saved the Crown Prince's life, his cousin would definitely not be able to sit still.
"At that time, when I was investigating the illicit salt dealings, the merchants under Xie Yun could provide some key evidence, so I made a transaction with Xie Yun.
"I put on an act with him, and he provided me with evidence to help me check the accounts. "
Lu Chen pinched Qiao Jinniang's nose. "But you weren't worried about me at all, asking about him and scolding me in the letter!"
Qiao Jinniang sensed a trace of grievance in Lu Chen's words, and shook off his hand. "That's because you didn't tell me anything. You were not like this when we were in Lin'an."
Lu Chen was helpless, "I want to tell you, but you have to give me a chance.
