Chapter 60 - Stigma
Wei Qing stared at him without blinking, waiting quietly for him to finish.
Finishing his words, he once again left with an angry expression on his face.
Wei Qing was startled, what was the situation with this scum?
In the evening, Xiao Qingqian released Wei Qing from her confinement. However, he arranged for a servant girl who knew some martial arts to follow her closely.
Wei Qing really hated the feeling of being stared at, but she couldn't shake her off at the moment, so she could only endure for now.
Several days passed in a row. On this day, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and it seemed as if a heavy rain might fall at any moment.
Xiao Qingqian had already left early and returned late two days in a row, to the point where even Tian Sisi could not see his figure. It was said that he went to the palace to handle matters related to welcoming Ambassador of the South.
Tian Sisi also did not make a move, and the two of them maintained their tacit understanding of each other. However, Wei Qing knew that all of this was merely the calm before the storm.
Tian Sisi estimated the time and put down the embroidery in her hand, ordering Hong Xiao to look for the butler to prepare the carriage.
”concubine, you want to go to the palace?”
Tian Sisi nodded, ”The Prince has been exceptionally busy these past few days, so I have to be concerned about him!”
Hong Xiao responded and quickly ran out.
The carriage stopped at the palace gate and when Hong Xiao talked to the guards who were guarding the gate with the umbrella, she walked out of the palace with the umbrella.
Looking at the carriage with the Prince Chu’s Mansion's emblem on it, he could guess that it was Tian Sisi.
He walked in front of the carriage and warmly asked, ”Are you sister-in-law?”
Hearing the voice, Tian Sisi immediately pulled the curtain to the carriage and looked into Xiao Hanqi's eyes that were as gentle as water.
”The relationship between my sister-in-law and my third brother is truly enviable.”
”The Crown Prince must be joking!”
”Sister-in-law and third brother were originally a pair that envious of gods and immortals, but now someone has untactfully stepped in, aiya …” As Xiao Hanqi finished speaking, he glanced at Tian Sisi from the corner of his eyes. coincidentally, the carriage was approaching.
What Xiao Hanqi had just said was basically instigating him. As long as Xiao Qingqian's back yard was on fire, it would be of the greatest benefit to him!
The light in Tian Sisi's eyes became more and more vicious, her hands under her sleeves became tighter and tighter, and her sharp nails dug into her palms, but she did not notice it.
”concubine, the food boxes have been sent in!” When Hong Xiao returned with the umbrella, she saw that Tian Sisi's eyes were glazed over and could not help but be worried.
Tian Sisi suddenly retracted her train of thought, she had originally planned to return after giving the food box to Wei Qing, but Xiao Hanqi's words just now reminded her, she wanted Xiao Qingqian to be loyal to her, and not give her the chance to get in!
”Let's not go back for now!”
Hearing that, Hong Xiao was startled: ”concubine, what do you mean?”
”Just wait here. I want you to be able to see me when you come out!”
”But the weather …”
”I'm fine!” Tian Sisi stubbornly got off the carriage, and quickly held the umbrella above her head.
When Xiao Qingqian saw the food box, a huge wave of warmth engulfed his heart, and started to surge towards his limbs and bones.
Receiving the Ambassador of the South was a bit more complicated, and Xiao Hanqi was not willing to cooperate with him, so he had to put on an act, making it difficult for him to complain to royal father.
