C90 (1/2)

After the maid finished speaking, she lowered her head in fear.

People from the palace?

Qu Jingxi frowned, could it be that arrogant woman again?

”Step down. If This King hears such nonsense again, it won't be as simple as it is now.”

After receiving the order, the two hastily crawled and rolled away. Feng Xiwu looked at their miserable figures escaping, and for no reason, her mind once again filled with fear for the person who was stabbed that night.

Prince Jing's face didn't look too good. Mmm, it really wasn't good.

”Your highness, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Estate is still waiting in the front hall. Your highness, do you want to go take a look?” Feng Xiwu said, she was not stupid, the drawing must have some kind of secret.

Qu Jingxi turned around and looked at her fixedly. ”You've been acting a little weird since you came into contact with Gu Xiao at noon. I finally understand now.”

Feng Xiwu, ”...”

Prince, did you get the main point wrong today?

”Your Highness, you misunderstood,” Feng Xiwu opened her mouth, wanting to explain. Although she thought about it that way at the time, she did not reveal it so clearly, right?

Qu Jingxi slowly moved closer to her. ”It seems that this king's wife has misunderstood this king. How about this?”

Feng Xiwu's heartbeat unconsciously throbbed in accordance to his footsteps.

The person in front of her was like a big tailed wolf nearing its prey, while she herself was like a lamb trapped and waiting to be slaughtered. This kind of feeling made her very uncomfortable.

”Your Royal Highness, this is the backyard,” Feng Xiwu's heart was in her throat. This man, why doesn't she have any moral integrity, can't she pay attention to her image?

Ye Xiao still didn't have any intention of backing down.

”Your highness, Sunflower Water is here. It's not convenient for you to come today.”

Helpless, Feng Xiwu could only use her last trump card. As expected, after Prince Jing heard this, he finally stopped the urge to make a move.

”You want to see someone outside?” Qu Jingxi held onto her small soft hand and spoke softly. It seemed that Qu Jingxi's mood was slightly better than before.

He had just wanted to scare her, so how could he casually misunderstand?!

The meaning of the painting was actually very simple. Lu Wanru's intention was simply to make an exchange and marry her in exchange for the power and benefits behind her.

Unfortunately, in Qu Jingxi's eyes, he did not care about those things.

If it was said that Qu Jingxi had always been seizing power from the very beginning and constantly strengthening himself, then Lu Wanru had truly misjudged him.

Possessing those things, he merely wanted to wait for Feng Xiwu to mature and be able to protect her well by himself and give her everything she needed. This was the meaning behind his actions.

”Does Your Highness not want to know how much the third miss is worth in the eyes of the Prime Minister?”

Qu Jingxi was stunned upon hearing her words, and quickly understood what she meant. Recently, this girl seemed to have had more and more thoughts.

He had truly underestimated her. How could such a smart kid not be able to see through their little tricks? He didn't know if he should be gratified or wary.

”Who do you think should be sent?” Qu Jingxi thought for a moment, but still asked the question.

Feng Xiwu blinked her eyes, and then revealed a sinister smile.

”Of course it's to send whoever knows the best.”
