Xue Ji walked hurriedly, his thoughts tangled in his mind like a tangled mess. He tried to sort out his thoughts, but the confusion in his heart made it difficult for him to calm down. He knew that only by finding Zhao Lexuan and confirming the truth of the matter again could he feel a little more at ease.

After leaving the mansion, he quickly mounted the horse that his servant had ridden when he came, ignored the gazes of others, and galloped towards the Princess's mansion. Along the way, his heartbeat was as rapid as a drum, as if it was going to shatter his chest.

Finally, he arrived outside the Princess's Mansion. The guards saw him, and although they knew about the affair between the eldest son of the Xue family and Princess Lening, they did not stop him and took him directly to Zhao Lexuan's courtyard, considering that he had always been a guest of honor.

Zhao Lexuan was drinking tea in the courtyard. When she saw Xue Ji's embarrassed appearance, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the cup in her hand. She wanted to go forward to show concern, but when she thought of what she had concealed, she couldn't help feeling guilty, so she pretended to be calm and asked loudly, "Why are you here?"

Xue Ji looked at Zhao Lexuan, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He grew up with Zhao Lexuan and knew her character very well. He noticed that Zhao Lexuan's voice was trembling when she spoke, and her eyes were evasive, and he understood about 70% of it.

Xue Ji felt dizzy and he held onto the wooden frame beside him, barely able to keep his body steady. His mind was in a mess and he couldn't believe it. If it was really Lu Qingxi who saved him, then what did he do? He actually wronged her and sent her to jail!

"Why did you lie to me?" Xue Ji's voice was trembling and angry.

Zhao Lexuan, who was standing opposite him, saw the other person like this and didn't care about feeling guilty anymore. She quickly stepped forward to support the little ancestor. She asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Xue Ji's mind cleared up for a moment after hearing Zhao Lexuan's words. He suddenly shook off Zhao Lexuan's hand, his eyes flashing with anger: "What's wrong with me! Do you know how many wrong things I have done because of your lies! I actually wronged her and sent her to jail!"

Zhao Lexuan was stunned for a moment after being thrown away by Xue Ji. She was prepared to bear Xue Ji's blame, but she didn't expect his reaction to be so intense. She stood there, listening to Xue Ji's words, and the anger in her heart was instantly ignited.

"What did you say!" Zhao Lexuan growled, with a flash of anger in her eyes, "You sent Qingqing to jail? Xue Ji, what on earth did you do!"

Before she finished speaking, Xue Ji's reaction was greater than she expected. He turned around abruptly, his eyes red as if he was about to spit fire: "You admit it! She saved me! Then why did you lie to me in the first place! No, I'm going to find her! I'm going to tell her it's my fault!"

After saying that, Xue Ji ran out again in a hurry, his figure looked particularly anxious in the fierce sunlight. He quickly mounted his horse and galloped towards the Shangshu Mansion.

Zhao Lexuan did not chase Xue Ji, but called the guard at the door into her yard and asked him to tell her everything that happened outside.

Zhao Lexuan learned about this series of events from the attendant, and mixed emotions surged in her heart. She was moved when she heard that Lu Qingxi took Shen Rong to the general's mansion to treat Su Jiaojiao. She understood that Lu Qingxi must have done this for her and Xue Qinglan's sake, and wanted her to get what she wanted. This friendship made Zhao Lexuan feel warm and grateful.

However, the following news shocked her. Lu Qingxi was wrongly imprisoned, and Mrs. Gu fell ill because of it. Her cousin even took the blame for her crime. This series of misfortunes made Zhao Lexuan very upset. She couldn't imagine Qingqing suffering in prison, and her cousin's behavior of saving people without caring about his own safety.

The day before yesterday, my cousin had been sent to the Fahua Temple for three months of seclusion. This news made Zhao Lexuan feel guilty. My cousin must have gone there for Qingqing, but Qingqing went to the general's mansion for her own...

After learning all this, Zhao Lexuan could no longer sit still. She was filled with gratitude and guilt, and decided to go see Qingqing immediately.

So, Zhao Lexuan quickly left the house, rode on a fast horse, thought for a while, and galloped towards the Duke's Mansion.

Zhao Lexuan had just left the Princess's Mansion, while Lu Shiyao had already rushed to the Duke's Mansion. As soon as she saw Lu Qingxi, she couldn't wait to tell her about the conversation between her father and the prince. At the same time, she also revealed the fact that Xue Ji already knew that the person who saved him was not her.

After listening to Lu Shiyao's narration, Lu Qingxi was shocked. She tried to recall the original plot, but couldn't find the fact that the heroine and her original body were incompatible, and she suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Thinking of her father and the crown prince, Lu Qingxi was even more upset. She knew that both of them had great ambitions, and dealing with them always made her feel uncomfortable. It seemed that it would be better for her to go back to the Shangshu Mansion less recently, so as not to be involved in more disputes.

Later, Lu Shiyao mentioned that Xue Ji had guessed that it was Lu Qingxi who saved him. Lu Qingxi was confused for a moment. She saved him on impulse and never thought that she would be discovered. Now that the matter has been exposed, the plot will not match. It doesn't matter. Anyway, she is a bad strategy, so let the plot of the heroine go.

Just as Lu Qingxi was lost in thought, Zhao Lexuan's voice suddenly came:

"Qingqing! Xue Ji is almost mad at me to death!" Lu Qingxi and Lu Shiyao looked over together, only to see Zhao Lexuan walking towards them angrily with a sullen look on her face.

Zhao Lexuan approached and found that in addition to Lu Qingxi, there was another strange woman. She was slightly stunned, and then calmed down. Seeing this, Lu Shiyao recognized the other party's identity. In addition, she looked at the sky and saw that it seemed that a storm was coming, so she immediately stood up and said goodbye, not wanting to interrupt their conversation. Lu Qingxi knew that Zhao Lexuan and Lu Shiyao were not familiar with each other, so she did not try to keep her.

After Lu Shiyao left, Zhao Lexuan continued to speak, her tone revealing gratitude and guilt towards Lu Qingxi:

"Qingqing, it's all my fault for not being informed. I just learned from my servants about everything you've done for me recently, and I really don't know what to say. Because of Xue Qinglan and I, you not only asked the Shen family to help, but you also took people to the general's mansion to treat Su Jiaojiao, and you got into a series of troubles because of it. I know you were wrongly imprisoned, and Madam Gu fell ill because of it, and my eldest cousin took the blame to save you. I've heard all this, and I really don't have the face to see you anymore."

Zhao Lexuan's eyes couldn't help but turn red as she spoke. She took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued:

"However, speaking of that fellow Xue Ji, I am really furious! He was obviously the one you saved, but instead of being grateful, he reported you to the police. I really can't understand his behavior! Couldn't he investigate clearly before taking action? This not only implicates you, but also implicates my eldest cousin! I am really furious!"

After hearing what Zhao Lexuan said, Lu Qingxi was also furious. She had only wanted to help her friend find a couple, but she had not expected to cause so much trouble. Seeing Zhao Lexuan's angry expression, she could not help but feel warm in her heart. She knew that Zhao Lexuan really cared about her and was really grateful for everything she had done.

"Le Xuan, don't be angry. It's over, and there's no need for us to be angry about Xue Ji's behavior. As for me, I didn't expect him to be grateful when I saved him. I just didn't expect that he would hurt me by mistake. It was indeed a bit beyond my expectations."

Lu Qingxi comforted Zhao Lexuan, and at the same time, he was dissatisfied with Xue Jisheng. Thinking of Xiao Yuebai who had been sent to Fahua Temple, he felt guilty. Thinking of the luck that Lu Shiyao had talked about today, he felt a headache and decided to just give up.
