On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

The light in Fu Jingrong's eyes slowly faded, and he smiled bitterly, "Miss Su is right."

She is trying to make his "specialness" return to normal...

On the way back.

Yi Zhi looked at Fu Jingrong with concern.

"Master, with Miss Su's attitude, even if Yue Lao comes with an iron chain, he won't be able to tie the red string for you."

As the most loyal guard of his master, as long as Fu Jingrong did not arrange him to do other things, he would always follow Fu Jingrong into the grove in the backyard of the palace to sneak out of the mansion, and then climb over the wall to Su's house together.

Since his master went to "steal jade and steal fragrance", he naturally had to keep an eye on the situation for his master.

The master and servant had been discovered several times recently when they sneaked into the woods in the middle of the night. As a result, some rumors began to spread in the Dingbei Palace.

For example, right now, the guards who were driving the carriage had their ears perked up for gossip.

But he heard a cold rebuke coming from inside the carriage.

"Shut up, this is my business. If you want to stay with me, don't meddle in my business. If you disturb her and bring her trouble, I will never forgive you."

Fu Jingrong gritted his teeth, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

The look in his eyes showed restraint and forbearance that had never been revealed when he was alone with Su Sui'an.

Yi Zhi's neck shrank and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, letting out a soft "uh".

The carriage staggered and almost stopped abruptly.

"Is there something blocking the way outside?"

Yi Zhi hurriedly asked outsiders to change the subject, fearing that he might say something wrong accidentally and incur the wrath of his master.

Apparently, the guard driving the carriage did not expect that he was too excited and actually tightened the reins.

The moment Yi Zhi opened his mouth, he quickly begged for mercy and got the carriage moving again.

God.

He seemed to have discovered some great secret!!

It's not that the Yi Zhi guard and the prince went into the woods, it's that the prince has a one-sided love.

Is this something he can hear?

...

The other end.

After Zhao Qingwan took the things given to her by Mrs. Lin, she returned to her yard in a daze.

I just happened to see Su Xinhe.

Su Xinhe also came back from outside. The two looked at each other, then turned their eyes away tacitly and went back to their residences.

"Miss Xinhe has been running outside a lot recently. It seems that you have found some way to rescue her from the dire situation." Qiuyue's voice sounded in Zhao Qingwan's ears.

"Has she been like this lately?" Zhao Qingwan frowned.

For some reason, he thought of Gu Xiuyan's neglect of him.

She was more careful.

"Do you know something?"

Zhao Qingwan has been annoyed by Su Jincheng's harassment these days. In addition, Su Qishun is not as obedient to her and her daughter as before, so she pays less attention to Su Xinhe.

Now that Qiu Yue mentioned this matter, she felt that everything was too coincidental.

"Miss," Qiuyue glanced at the tightly closed courtyard door behind her, "this is not the place to talk."

Zhao Qingwan pursed her lips and forced herself to suppress the anger that was about to burst out of her heart.

If Su Xinhe dares to do something under her nose, don't blame her for being rude.

Entered the house.

Qiu Yue told out everything he "knew" all at once.

"Miss, since the wedding banquet, I have noticed that we are in a state of chaos, but Miss Xinhe is much more relaxed than before. So I went to ask around, and the doorman at the back door said that Miss Xinhe would dress up and go out almost every two or three days..."

Having said that, Qiu Yue cautiously glanced at Zhao Qingwan, who had a gloomy face.

Just then, Zhao Qingwan looked up at her, and she was caught off guard and made eye contact with Zhao Qingwan. The sinister look in her eyes made her feel a chill down her spine.

"Do you know who she's going to see?"

Zhao Qingwan's tone was exceptionally calm.

Qi Yue's legs went limp, and she immediately knelt on the ground with her head down. "I heard that... every time Miss Xinhe went out, the carriage of Duke Gu's mansion would pass by our mansion, so... some ignorant people have already started to spread rumors that the man with Miss Xinhe that day was very likely Young Master Gu."

"Bam—"

The stool at Zhao Qingwan's feet was kicked away by her.

Qiuyue secretly glanced at Zhao Qingwan, whose face could no longer maintain its usual calmness.

She lowered her head timidly, hiding the gleam in her eyes.

Zhao Qingwan was so angry when she saw how useless Qiuyue was that she slapped Qiuyue in the face.

"I asked you to help me keep an eye on the people in the mansion. Why are you telling me these things now?"

Jiaoyue came over when she heard the noise, saw Qiuyue being beaten, and heard what Zhao Qingwan said, so she quickly flew forward and hugged Zhao Qingwan's thighs.

"Miss, please calm down. This matter is known to me and Qiyue, but...but until we are 100% sure, we dare not tell you, for fear that this is someone else's calculation."

Jiaoyue was crying as she spoke, and Zhao Qingwan kicked again, and finally stopped.

He looked at Qiyue inquiringly, "Is what she said true?"

Qiuyue bit her lip, lowered her head, and nodded lightly.

Even though tears were rolling down her cheeks, she looked at Zhao Qingwan with tearful eyes, but there was still no sign of dissatisfaction or resentment in her eyes.

Zhao Qingwan sighed secretly.

He helped Qiuyue up again, "You should have told me earlier."

There was a hint of blame towards Qiuyue in his tone.

Blame her for not telling her these things in time.

Qiu Yue gritted her teeth secretly, and her tone of voice was still timid when she spoke, "I hope that the young lady can leave a good impression on the young master..."

The maid had said so much. If Zhao Qingwan didn't say anything, it would seem that she, as the master, was too unkind.

"troubled you."

She patted Qiuyue's hand with eyes full of emotion.

Seeing that Qiuyue seemed to be hesitant to speak, she softened her voice again, "Qiuyue, do you have anything else to say to me?"

"Miss, I also heard that Miss Xinhe will go out tomorrow. You might as well find a time and opportunity tomorrow to go find Young Master Gu and test it out. If Miss Xinhe can win over Young Master Gu, I think my young lady is not bad either. Since Young Master Gu has already broken off the engagement with Su Sui'an, he can marry one or find two. Why should you humble yourself and be inferior to others?" Qiuyue's face was full of indignation, and her words were full of indignation for Zhao Qingwan.
