C159 (1/2)

While in a daze, Qiao Liangjin heard someone calling her name. She waved her hand and turned around while complaining: ”Can't I just let them sleep well?”

A hand seemed to tease her with its long hair. She sat up and complained loudly, ”Stupid fox, let me sleep. You're going to torture me like this!”

What entered his vision was the cleanliness of a set of profound clothes.

Qiao Liangjin was flabbergasted as she looked at Qing Shui with a slight smile. She asked: ”Why are you here with me?”

”You're here with me, Jin'er. Can't wait to marry me? The first minister stopped me at the entrance of the palace yesterday, saying that the two children have grown up again, and asked me when I would marry you. ” A smile appeared on his face as he looked at Qiao Liangjin.

Qiao Liangjin rubbed her temples as she tried to think why she was sleeping at the Seventh Prince's Mansion. She seemed to have gone to the Peace House … She went to the Xiang Residence to see Bai Wu, and then … She couldn't remember what happened after that.

Seeing how worried she was, he smiled and explained to her, ”After noon, you will go to the Mourning Hall. After drinking too much, it just so happens that I have something to discuss with the minister of war, and he is currently sleeping soundly. He has no reason to worry about your reputation, so he asked me to take you away.

Qiao Liangjin nodded her head thoughtfully, as if there really was such a thing. She stretched lazily, rubbed her eyes, and asked in surprise: ”Why are my eyes so swollen? Am I crying? ”

Su Qingyun paused for a second and said seriously, ”No, you should be staying up late. Why are you crying?”

Qiao Liangjin was stunned for a moment. She could faintly feel a chill in her heart, as if a gust of cold wind was blowing by. She suddenly shivered and muttered: ”It's already late spring, why is it still so cold?”

He got up and sat on the edge of the bed. Just as he was about to put on his shoes, he suddenly bent down and picked up one of them, grabbed her ankle, placed her foot on his knee, and put the shoes on her.

This action made Qiao Liangjin's face turn slightly red. She hurriedly placed her feet on the ground and stood up before walking out of the room. When she opened the door, Hong Liang staggered and almost fell into the room.

Qiao Liangjin looked at Hong Liang who had an awkward expression and said with a smile: ”What's the point of eavesdropping like this? If there's anything you want to know, come in and listen to it openly. ”

When Hong Liang heard Qiao Liangjin's words, she looked frantically at the person sitting by the bed. Her knees went weak and she kneeled on the ground. She kowtowed continuously and said, ”This servant was wrong, this servant was wrong.”

Qiao Liangjin walked past Hong Liang. She couldn't be bothered with the matters of the Seventh Marquis' Mansion and it had nothing to do with her. She just didn't like how Hong Liang was looking at her with such malicious eyes, as if she was going to steal some treasure from her.

She slowly got up and walked to Hong Liang's side. She stood there and watched Qiao Liangjin's lithe figure disappear into the wall. She could not hear any emotion in his voice. ”Hong Liang, how many years have you been following me?”

”Your Highness …” ”I beg of you, your highness, please forgive this servant …” Hong Liang immediately panicked. He kept kowtowing and the sound of his head hitting the ground was heard.

”Pack up and go back.” What should be given to you, This King will definitely give you more. ” Su Su cleaned up his feet and prepared to leave.

Hong Liang suddenly rushed over and hugged her legs. With tears in her eyes, she looked up at her.

Her clear long eyebrows slightly furrowed together, Hong Liang … When had she become like this? He didn't want her to stay here for even a minute.

”Hong Liang, you've passed the moment.” The clear voice seemed to be slightly dissatisfied.

At this moment, Hong Liang seemed to have fallen into a desperate situation. She held onto the corner of her clean robe and kowtowed continuously. ”Prince, please don't chase me away. Don't chase me away …”

He shook his head and sighed. Then, he raised both of his hands and gently clapped a few times. A few guards ran over and stood in front of Su Qian.

Hong Liang raised her head and saw three or four guards standing before him. She immediately understood that there was nothing she could do. She kneeled on the ground dejectedly. Her forehead swelled up and she looked with disbelief at the man before him.

She had served him for so many years, and he had once said that he hated Qiao Liangjin, so she had become a stumbling block, allowing Qiao Liangjin to distance himself from her. But now, no one knew when, but Qiao Liangjin's body had quietly changed, and she was interacting more and more with the Seventh Marquis.

But now, just because of a few words from Qiao Liangjin, he was about to send her away. Hong Liang smiled gloomily and opened his mouth to say something, but then cleared it again, ”I'll give you three thousand silvers, enough for you to live a good life in your hometown. Don't go even half a step closer to the capital, and don't go even half a step closer to Qiao Liangjin.”

Hong Liang's expression instantly turned strange. She no longer said anything. She knew that if she were to say anything more, based on her clear personality, she might not be able to keep her tongue. She simply kneeled down and kowtowed again, saying, ”Thank you for your good intentions, Hong Liang can't serve you anymore.”

”En!” Just as they were about to leave, the two mama ran over and kneeled down on the ground.

Su Qing frowned slightly and asked, ”What are you guys …”
