For a moment, it was quiet all around. Only Qing Liu's sobbing voice could be heard. She was so scared that she lowered her voice.
Madam Chen Li was stunned for a moment, and then she forced a smile and said, "Prince Jing is here? You didn't tell me in advance. There are only women in our mansion now, and I didn't prepare … "
The servant hurriedly said, "Prince Jing said, said …"
"No need to prepare."
But at this moment, a cold voice came from behind him.
Everyone hurriedly looked in that direction.
She saw this noble young master slowly walk into the garden with the help of a manservant.
It was the first day of spring, but he was wrapped in a snow-white cloak, with a circle of white fur around his collar. The man's wide sleeves were fluttering, and he wore a jade crown on his head. When he walked closer, he looked like a god walking down from the clouds, with a noble and inviolable temperament.
But when you looked at his extremely delicate face, you only felt that there was a bit of charm in his arrogance, like a white fox that became a demon.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they hurriedly got up and saluted to him.
That man was Jiang Suzhou.
Seeing all the girls in the garden saluting to him, he raised his hand and signaled them to get up.
He glanced around the garden secretly, and then paused on Qing Liu.
Sure enough. He thought to himself.
He knew that Chen Ti would try his best to get Huo Wujiu to his mansion, and he would do something. However, he didn't expect that Chen Ti would be so reckless. In order to make trouble for Huo Wujiu, he could do something like this.
He secretly glanced at Huo Wujiu.
Just as he had expected, this person was still cold and aloof. Even when he arrived, he didn't even look at him.
But luckily, the crying woman was quite far away from Huo Wujiu. She probably wanted to blackmail him, but she didn't. So the situation wasn't too bad.
Jiang Suzhou had a rough idea of the current situation. He slowly walked to Madam Chen Li and stopped three steps away from her.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you, Madam Chen," he said slowly.
Madam Chen quickly bowed to him and said with a forced smile, "What is your highness saying? Your presence brings light to my humble abode … "
Jiang Suizhou looked around the garden of the Chen Mansion.
His own house was indeed quite simple and ordinary. Naturally, it could not be compared to those golden houses that he had bought with the money he had embezzled to hide his mistresses.
"My humble abode …" Jiang Suzhou seemed to be implying something as a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Chen Lishi was inexplicably flustered.
Jiang Suizhou changed the topic and said with a faint smile, "It's not to the extent of bringing light to my humble dwelling. This prince came today because I'm worried about the people in the residence. I came to see if they're going to cause trouble for you again. "
As he spoke, his eyes scanned around the garden and eventually landed on Qing Liu.
"It seems that I've come at the right time."
His tone was calm and sounded quite friendly. But for some reason, it made everyone's heart jump to their throat. No one dared to make a sound.
Qing Liu, who was shivering in her robe, carefully raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Suzhou.
She saw Prince Jing, who was so beautiful that he did not look like a mortal, coldly glanced at Huo Wujiu and walked straight up. The little eunuch following behind Huo Wujiu immediately understood what he meant. He ran forward and brought over an armchair for Huo Wujiu.
That prince slowly sat down on the chair. His cloak was fluttering in the wind. He looked graceful and noble.
She saw that the prince who was sitting on the chair had his eyes on her.
That pair of eyes was cold and arrogant. It was like he was standing on top of the clouds and looking down at mortals. But there was an inexplicable charm in his eyes. It was like he was trying to suck people into him like a moth flying into a flame.
For a moment, Qing Liu looked at him and felt that she had stopped breathing.
However, at this moment, she heard His Highness King Jing speak.
"Tell me about it." He said. "What happened?"
Qing Liu just woke up from her dream. She quickly looked at the people around her. But she did not expect that after she looked at Prince Jing for a few seconds, Mrs. Huo, who had not even looked at her since she entered the garden, actually looked at her.
Her eyes were cold and her eyebrows were frowning. She looked down at her as if she was looking at something dirty.
Qing Liu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Since His Highness King Jing had come, the situation would definitely change. As for whether it would become more serious or turn into a small problem, it would depend on Prince Jing's attitude.
Now it seemed that Prince Jing hated Huo Wujiu so much. She only needed to add fuel to the fire to make things worse.
She swallowed and got rid of the maids on both sides. She walked up and knelt down in front of Jiang Suzhou.
"Your Highness, Prince Jing," she said in a choked voice, her eyes brimming with tears. "This concerns my reputation. Although it happened in front of everyone, I am too ashamed to say it out loud."
As she said, she could not help but wipe her tears. While she was wiping her tears, she sobbed, "Why don't you just let me die? Then I will be innocent."
She knew that men would fall for this trick the most.
As long as she showed her weakness and became the one being bullied, it would soften people's hearts. Men's hearts were biased. Once they softened, they would become even more biased. At that time, wouldn't he believe whatever she said?
While wiping her tears, Qing Liu did not forget to sneak a glance at Jiang Suzhou.
However, she saw that His Highness, Prince Jing, didn't seem to notice her tears at all. He stretched out a slender, white hand from his cloak and took a sip of the hot tea that the eunuch next to him handed him.
"If you don't want to say it, then forget it." He said lightly.
Qing Liu was dazed.
She saw that His Highness placed the teacup to the side, raised his hand, and casually pointed to a madam in the crowd. He slowly said, "Let this madam come and tell this prince."
Qing Liu was completely dumbfounded.
She had forgotten that the man in front of her was a man who did not like women. She was obviously putting on an act for a blind man.
She hurriedly turned around and saw that he was pointing at the wife of Duke An's prince.
Just now when she talked to that lady, she could tell that she was a pampered lady from a big family. Her husband's family also spoiled her. She had never been through any hardships in her life. Her mind was as pure as a piece of white paper.
As expected, hearing that Prince Jing called her name, that lady was dumbfounded. She looked at Prince Jing and then at her. She stood there helplessly.
"Just now …" She carefully opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Then she saw Prince Jing lightly smile at her.
"Lady, just tell me the truth." He said.
That lady hesitated for a while and said in a low voice, "It's nothing. It's just that Lady Qin did not stand still and leaned on Lady Huo. Lady Huo dodged and fell into the lake …"
"Is that so?" Prince Jing continued to ask.
The ladies around looked at each other, none of them refuted.
Qing Liu's heart sank to the bottom of her feet.
She saw that Prince Jing lightly smiled and nodded at that lady. Then he looked at her.
That pair of fox-like eyes showed a satisfied smile.
Qing Liu seemed to have just realized what was going on.
It was as if King Jing, who had rushed over in an aggressive manner to denounce Huo Wujiu, was simply a feint.
He came here today to teach her a lesson for Huo Wujiu.
But everything was so logical and logical that she could not speak of it.
— —
On the carriage back to the mansion, only the sound of the wheels could be heard.
Jiang Suzhou leaned against the carriage. He was still out of breath.
It was only today that he could barely get out of bed. The Chen mansion was not big and did not even have a carriage. He walked all the way to the garden and could not take it anymore.
But luckily, it was solved perfectly.
He did not give the woman a chance to speak. Instead, he pointed at a girl that he had his eyes on. The girl looked young. She was wearing a gorgeous robe and all her emotions were written on her face. He could tell that she was a naive lady with a strong background and would not lie.
Sure enough, since she exposed the concubine's lie, the main wife could punish her on the spot.
Although it would not kill her, her reputation was ruined by herself.
Because of this farce, he could also take Huo Wujiu away in advance. He did not have to stay there and smell the smell of cosmetics.
Thinking of this, Jiang Suzhou was in a good mood. He asked, "Are you okay?"
Now that his relationship with Huo Wujiu was not so bad, he talked to him a lot. As long as he started a conversation, Huo Wujiu would definitely talk to him.
But there was only silence.
After Jiang Suizhou finished asking, the carriage became quiet again. Huo Wujiu, who was next to him, didn't say a word as if he didn't hear him.
Huh?
Jiang Suzhou looked at him in confusion.
What was going on?
Huo Wujiu, who was sitting upright, turned his head and coldly met his gaze.
"Are you feeling better?"
He did not answer his question. Instead, he asked him a question. Jiang Suzhou was stunned.
"What?" He was stunned.
Huo Wujiu suddenly raised his hand and placed it directly on his forehead. It was rough and direct, messing up the hair on his forehead.
Jiang Suzhou instinctively dodged to the side. However, the carriage was narrow and he was not as agile as Huo Wujiu. Before he could resist, he was suppressed and allowed the rough hand to press on his forehead.
After a while, the hand moved away.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Suzhou's breathing was uneven as he climbed up from the carriage.
He saw that Huo Wujiu, who had retracted his hand, also retracted his gaze. He looked forward with a cold expression and did not look sideways.
"You're feeling much better," he said indifferently.
Jiang Suzhou felt that this was somewhat funny. He retorted, "It's not like you have a fever. What's the use of touching my forehead?"
Huo Wujiu glanced at him.
Jiang Suzhou was weak because of the medicine. At this time, he only cared about supporting himself on the carriage to sit up. He did not realize that his pale face, unsteady breathing, and messy hair were all seen by Huo Wujiu.
Huo Wujiu paused and opened his mouth. Only then did a sound come out of his throat.
"Since you can move, you can live in your own courtyard," he said coldly.
"What?" Jiang Suzhou was stunned.
Although Huo Wujiu was different from ordinary concubines and was at most a prisoner of war in his own residence, but … how could he so confidently arrange for him to live there?
Huo Wujiu said indifferently, "If you die of exhaustion in a concubine's room, I'll have to be sent back to prison."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head away and did not look at Jiang Suzhou again.
Jiang Suzhou was stunned for a moment before regaining his senses.
Great! This person actually dared to curse him to death in public!
As expected, Huo Wujiu did not open his mouth. Once he opened his mouth, he would most likely infuriate someone to death.
Jiang Suzhou glared at him hatefully and sat up straight in the carriage.
I won't die! As long as you don't chop off my head, I'll live a long life!
With this thought, he turned his head and looked out the window, ignoring Huo Wujiu.
However, he did not see that Huo Wujiu's hands, which were on his knees, were tightly clenched into fists.
It was a person who was frantically resisting the surging jealousy.
Even Huo Wujiu himself did not expect that just one glance, just one glance at Jiang Suzhou's disorderly breathing and weak appearance, was enough to make his heart flutter and his eyes burn. He was so irritated that he wanted to pierce the chest of the person who shared Jiang Suzhou's appearance with him.
In the silence, it was as if an evil dragon had awakened in his chest.
That evil dragon was greedy and irritable. Its eyes were fixed on a certain treasure.
