Xiao Qing raised her brows, ”What do you want to say?”
”It's nothing, I just wanted to remind Miss that a man's love won't last his whole life. Moreover, you don't know how sincere he is towards you, and sooner or later feelings will be worn down. At Miss's age, I can understand that.” Zhao Jin assumed a 'For You' pose, ”But there are some things I still want you to know.”
”Such as?”
”Miss is a smart person, you should know that the affairs of the court are complicated, some are not as simple as you think, Ling'er's identity is there, if the Duke of Han's marriage were to help you, would you know it?”
”Heh, I'm not sure, and I don't want to be clear about it.” ”I don't know what you guys are thinking, but I have nothing to do with any of this. It's still as you said, if there's any problem with Fourth Prince, you can bring it up with that man yourself. I don't care about your matters.”
”But …” She paused for a moment, and her eyes revealed a hint of playfulness: ”Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for the Fourth Prince to tell me this in front of His Highness? ”It seems like you know a lot about the Fourth Prince's situation, like he knows everything about the Frigid King. He knows that the Fourth Prince has been plotting against you for a long time, just for the sake of the friendship between the two countries.”
Zhao Jin's expression changed and she subconsciously asked, ”What do you mean by that? Miss, please be careful when you speak! ”
”Does Fourth Prince know to be cautious when speaking to outsiders? Didn't the fourth prince feel that what he just told me was a bit too much? I'm not familiar with the fourth prince, but my thoughts and thoughts don't seem to follow the fourth prince's thoughts, do they? But if the Fourth Prince wants me to go and do something, then can you at least put on a 'begging for help' attitude? ”
Did this man think this was his hometown? He wasn't the servant girl in his residence, so why would he listen to her?
Zhao Jin frowned and said in a deep voice, ”I'm doing this for your own good!”
”I don't need the fourth prince to do me any favors, not to mention …” Xiao Qing Ran paused for a moment as she toyed with the teacup in her hands, ”I believe that the Princess and the Fourth Prince did not completely explain what happened back then. The real reason why Duke Han chased her out of the mansion was because she was trying to sow discord behind his back. It must be said that the Fourth Prince is related to the princess by blood, and this is exactly the same thing. ”
”Xiao Qing Ran!” Zhao Jin couldn't help but say in a mocking tone, ”Is this how you speak to this prince?”
Xiao Qing Ran smiled calmly. ”What if not? What kind of attitude does Fourth Prince think I should take? ”
Not only was this man trying to poach her, he was even trying to coerce her into doing so. It was already giving him face to be able to sit here peacefully. If the man were to hear what he said just now, it wouldn't be as simple as mocking him.
”You …”
”Don't be angry, Fourth Prince. Qingyi has this kind of personality. She doesn't have any ill intentions.” Su Qian Xing interrupted him with a calm tone and a smile, ”Fourth Prince is out for a good time today. Please don't let such a small matter ruin your mood.”
Xiao Qingyan looked at her with interest but did not say anything.
Zhao Jin snorted coldly, ”You are right, it is just that Ling'er has the best relationship with me since we were young. After all, she is my little sister, and I can't bear to see her being bullied. If Duke Han goes too far, I can only tell you this matter.”
A mocking sneer flashed past Xiao Qing's eyes.
Was he using the emperor to suppress him?
”I don't think Lady Qing Ran wants to blow this matter up, right?” Zhao Jin suddenly changed the topic back to her, thinking she would be scared if she talked too much about it.
However, Xiao Qing Qing was not the kind of person who would be scared by a word or two from someone else: ”If Fourth Prince feels that it's appropriate like this, he can directly do it. You don't have to tell me.”
Zhao Jin choked and suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was not going to give up. His face changed a few times, then he sneered, ”It seems that Fourth Miss is very confident in herself?”
Xiao Qingran swept a glance at him and asked knowingly: ”Where did the Fourth Prince get this from?”
”You dare to speak to me like that, is it not because of Su Qianhan? Do you think you don't need to be afraid of anything with that man supporting you?”
Xiao Qingran's expression was indifferent as she did not reply.
Sometimes, she really did feel weird. Why did these people always put their actions on that man? It was as if she couldn't do anything without Su Qianhan by her side.
