Shaohua is Junqing

Restaurants and teahouses are the gathering places for all kinds of information. It is easiest to get what you want to know here. Ting Man also runs a teahouse business. When she manages it on a daily basis, she will hear some of the guests' discussions, but she doesn't take it to heart. Now, for Su Xunxian, she has become the one who inquires about things.

Ting Man came to a teahouse on Zhuque Street. Because she was pretty, the waiter came up to her and greeted her attentively as soon as she sat down.

"What would you like to drink, girl? We have all kinds of tea in our store."

"A pot of Biluochun and a plate of chestnut cake."

"Okay, please wait, it will be served soon."

While waiting for tea, Ting Man was still thinking about the scenes she had seen not long ago.

"Miss, your tea and snacks are here, please enjoy." The waiter's shout brought Ting Man back to her senses.

She took out a small ingot of silver and handed it to the waiter, saying, "Brother, I want to ask you something."

"Girl, please tell me."

"Do you know that there is a mansion in Heping Lane called 'Liuguang Pavilion'?"

"Young one knows."

"Then do you know whose mansion that is and who lives there?" Ting Man asked immediately.

"That house was given to Princess Shaohua by the current Queen Mother. It is the princess's private residence. I heard it was a wedding gift for the princess. Now Princess Shaohua is the Princess of Chen, so who else could live there? Of course it would be the Prince of Chen and his Princess."

Such an answer made Ting Man unbelievable. If the mansion belonged to Shao Hua, why did Su Xunxian appear there? If the woman was Shao Hua, why did she cover her face when entering and leaving her own mansion? Why was the person accompanying her not the Prince of Chen but Su Xunxian? Ting Man had a series of questions.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the waiter tactfully walked away, but she was still lost in her own thoughts.

As Ting Man thought about it, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind that she couldn't believe: Princess Chen and Su Xunxian were having an affair? She shook her head quickly, trying to dispel the thought, but couldn't help but think further: Who seduced whom? Does the Prince of Chen know about this?

Ting Man knew it was terrible to have such thoughts, but she just couldn't stop thinking about it. Ting Man wanted to verify the truth of what the waiter said, so she turned back to Heping Lane. At this time, the door of Liuguang Pavilion was closed. She wanted to walk around the courtyard wall to see if she could find anything, but it was already dark, so she had to give up.

Ting Man returned to her residence in a daze. Her good sister saw her dazed look and asked with concern: "Sister Man, what's wrong with you? You don't look well?"

"Nothing. I got a bit windy when I came back and have a headache. I'll be fine after a rest."

"I got a headache from the wind. It could be a big deal or a small matter. Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?"

"Don't bother, I'll just lie down and rest for a while."

"Well, be sure to call me if you need anything."

"Yeah." Ting Man nodded and went back to her room.

Ting Man almost didn't sleep all night. She got up at dawn and didn't even have time to eat breakfast. She wanted to rush to Heping Lane to find out what was going on, but then she thought that maybe he just sent her back and then left.

So Ting Man first came to the Su Mansion, and was told by the servant that Su Xunxian had not returned since he left the mansion yesterday. Upon hearing the news, her heart was gripped again.

Ting Man came to Heping Lane with a nervous mood. She stood under the archway and looked at the gate of Liuguang Pavilion, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

The sound of a few crisp horse bells brought Ting Man back to her senses. At this time, the door of Liuguang Pavilion also opened.

Soon someone came out. Like yesterday, Siyu still had her face covered with a veil. The person next to her was Su Xunxian. The two of them were talking and laughing, holding hands.

Seeing this scene, Ting Man was shocked again. She couldn't understand why Su Xunxian was with Siyu, and their behavior was so intimate. She was already the Princess of Chen. Did the Prince of Chen know about this? If he knew, how would he deal with Su Xunxian? As she was thinking about it, the carriage gradually went away. Ting Man immediately followed it, wanting to find out what was going on.
