However, Su Qian Han didn't express anything. He just stared at her, not with confirmation nor with anger, but with a deep sense of probing and contemplation.

Just when Xiao Qing Ran was unable to stand the atmosphere and wanted to speak.

Su Qianhan suddenly frowned and turned away after clenching his fists, ”If I see you on the stage again, I will... I'll skin you and feed you to the wolves! ”

Xiao Qing was speechless. She felt as if her brain had stopped working for a long time. She didn't even react when she saw the man push open the door and leave.

In the end, it was Riko who first went over to call for someone, causing her to come back to her senses.

When Su Qian Jie and Su Yan returned to the second floor, there was already no one there.

No one had expected such a thing to happen today.

Regarding Su Qianhan's reaction, Xiao Qingyi could not really explain what it felt like. Once the complex emotion was accumulated, it would form into a fretful mood. Thus, a certain lady who often watched the commotion was punished.

After Xiao Qingran returned to the General's Estate, she went back early to her room and did not even eat dinner. It was rare for Li'er to not fight against her in the name of kindness, only saying that if Miss was hungry, call her and she would prepare food in advance.

Sitting on the bed, Xiao Qingyi rubbed her temples as she felt that her thoughts were all in a mess.

It wasn't just Mo Wu, with that man's intelligence, he must have already guessed the relationship between him and Liu Suifeng. It seemed like he couldn't hide his identity from the Flower Pavilion anymore.

Xiao Qing sighed and lay down on the bed bitterly. She covered herself with the blanket and closed her eyes to sleep.

As she did not eat at night, Riko prepared a lot of food early the next morning.

”Miss, today I heard that His Highness went straight to the palace after returning from the palace that day. He really did mention your marriage to the empress.”

Xiao Qingran paused the chopsticks in her hands. Something flashed across the bottom of her eyes as she lowered her head and continued eating: ”And then?”

”Esteemed Empress has already agreed, but …” Li'er paused before carefully sizing up Xiao Qingran's expression. ”Only … the empress said that you can only be the crown prince's secondary wife, and that the crown prince …” ”I've already agreed.”

Xiao Qing`er taunted with her lips, a look of understanding flashing across her eyes: ”Hmm, I know.”

Riko did not expect her to be this calm and was somewhat worried, ”Miss, don't be angry. Perhaps the crown prince has his own difficulties. After all … ”After all …”

”After all, I am an orphan? Even the identity of this direct descendant was stolen from him? Furthermore, it's a scarecrow that's inferior to others? ” Xiao Qing laughed and shook her head, putting down the chopsticks in her hand.

Even if he was in a difficult situation, he shouldn't have made such a decision without discussing it with her. Did that man think that as long as he could stay by her side, she would give up everything?

If it was before, she might have been like this.

”Then what does Miss intend to do?”

”What else can we do? Since the empress has already agreed, it looks like the palace will send out orders in a few days. Things like sleeper are very scary, this father of our house definitely can't control me, maybe he'll just send me packing.”

”That's right.” Riko was also somewhat worried. ”If it is really His Majesty's decree, little miss won't be able to defy it no matter how capable she is.”

If the young mistress didn't like it, she could have discussed it with the Crown Prince. At the very least, she could have faked her death and left the city. But now, the young mistress had many things to do in the capital, so she couldn't use them anymore.

”The matters of the Imperial Palace will have to be settled by the people of the Imperial Palace.” Xiao Qing narrowed her eyes, reached out for a towel to wipe it off, and walked out.

”Miss, where are you going?”

”Duke Han Palace.”

This was the first time Xiao Qing had properly come to the Residence of Duke Han. For example, the scenery of the Residence of Duke Han looked even better during the daytime that night.

Although the decorations weren't very gorgeous, it gave people a feeling of grandeur.

Su Qianhan didn't want to move, so he went straight to the study room to receive the guests.

”What is it? Speak.”

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to look for him.

Su Qian Han placed his hands on the table and looked up at the man in front of him, ”Looks like we've encountered quite a bit of trouble this time.”

Xiao Qingran stood below and did not beat around the bush. She directly said: ”You should remember that I helped the prince last time, right? This time, I'm here to exchange for that condition with you. ”

Su Qianhan pursed his lips and stared at her, his tone slightly solemn. ”Are you sure?”

He had heard about the man's petition to the queen and thought that she might take measures against him, but he had not expected her to come straight to him.

”If it is His Majesty's will, I have no choice but to refuse and come to find you.” Xiao Qing Ran's words were serious and didn't have any intention of complimenting him.

”How do you know This King can definitely help you?”

”The prince has his own methods.”

This was not the first time that this man had gone against His Majesty. The plot by Su Qian Xing to assassinate him had finally come to an end.
