After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

"Oh~ I get it. Is the Prime Minister's Mansion planning to resort to hard tactics if soft tactics don't work?" Xu Qingqing frowned, with a hint of cunning in her eyes. She seemed to have guessed the other party's intentions, but did not show any panic.

Xiao Yuheng nodded slightly and handed the letter in his hand to Xu Qingqing.

She quickly took it, glanced at it for a few times, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Ha, it really is... the Prime Minister's Mansion, they can use such despicable means."

The letter sent by Yeyinglou described the plan of the Prime Minister's Office in detail.

They planned to take advantage of the Zhao Mansion's birthday banquet three days later to secretly drug Xu Qingqing in an attempt to make the matter a fait accompli. Then, after Xu Qingqing married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, they could force her to hand over the management rights of Lun Xiaoyao, thus making Lun Xiaoyao their treasury with inexhaustible funds.

Xu Qingqing slowly folded the letter, then looked up at Xiao Yuheng.

Xiao Yuheng's face was still terribly gloomy.

The more Xiao Yuheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He clenched his teeth, anger burning in his heart.

Not only did the Prime Minister's Mansion have such intentions towards Xu Qingqing, but it also dared to use such despicable and shameless means, which he could not tolerate.

Seeing this, Xu Qingqing walked forward gently, stretched out her soft hand and patted his hand gently to comfort him: "Okay, since we already know their conspiracy, how can we fall into the trap so easily? Don't worry too much."

Xiao Yuheng took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner anger.

He knew that Xu Qingqing was right, but when he thought about what the Prime Minister's Mansion had done, he found it difficult to calm down.

"Does Zhao Chanjuan like Chen Shuhan?" Xu Qingqing pulled Xiao Yuheng to sit on the chair, with a cunning look in her eyes, "We can take advantage of this! But..."

She frowned, thinking of the somewhat unruly Zhao Chanjuan. She had originally planned to let Zhao Chanjuan replace her at the critical moment, leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion with nothing to complain about.

However, when she recalled the infatuated look on Zhao Chanjuan's face when she looked at Xiao Yuheng that day...although it was a bit irritating, she was just a childish girl after all!

Xu Qingqing sighed inwardly, and finally felt that although Zhao Chanjuan always targeted her, her crime was not so serious.

Xiao Yuheng knew very well that Xu Qingqing was not yet able to openly break off relations with the Prime Minister's Mansion, at least the time was not right yet.

Moreover, if an invitation to the Zhao Mansion’s birthday party was sent three days later, she would most likely attend even if it was just to give face to these dignitaries.

In this way, Xu Qingqing had to face the conspiracies and intrigues of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Since you have decided to go, you must be careful." Xiao Yuheng stared at Xu Qingqing and said with concern.

Xu Qingqing nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to marry that guy Chen Shuhan."

"If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, flee the scene immediately." Xiao Yuheng continued to instruct.

"Yeah, I get it." Seeing that Xiao Yuheng still had a worried look on his face, Xu Qingqing leaned forward, gently stroked his cheek, and comforted him, "Don't worry too much, okay~ Be good~"

At this moment, both of them were stunned, as if time had stopped.

Their eyes met, and it seemed as if time had stopped.

Xiao Yuheng stared at her deeply, his eyes revealing an indescribable complex emotion. It was a look of tenderness and attachment, mixed with a hint of indescribable expectation...

Xu Qingqing was completely stunned. She... seemed to see the young man who had appeared in her dream.

Xiao Yuheng looked at Xu Qingqing quietly, feeling the gentle touch on his cheek.

After a long while, he slowly lowered his eyes, put his cheek closer to Xu Qingqing's palm, and even rubbed it gently.

Xu Qingqing clearly felt the movement of her hand, but when she came to her senses, she found that her hand had completely frozen.

"You..." She tried to speak, but her voice was a little hoarse.

Xiao Yuheng seemed to notice something was wrong with Xu Qingqing. He turned his head away, looked at her face, and said softly, "Well, I'm good."

Then he smiled, and that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, emitting charming radiance.

At this moment, Xu Qingqing felt as if countless gorgeous fireworks were blooming at the same time before her eyes.

She seemed to see the young man deep in Xiao Yuheng's heart, and saw a soul that had experienced many hardships and regained the youthful vigor and vitality.

Xu Qingqing slowly withdrew her hand, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

"Well, you're good~" Her voice was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze on your face.

The atmosphere between the two of them became particularly warm, as if they were the only two people in the world.

At this moment, their hearts seemed to resonate with each other, and an unprecedented tacit understanding flowed between them.

There seemed to be some kind of emotion flowing tacitly between the two people as they looked at each other.

……

"Is this the invitation to the Zhao family's birthday party?" He Anran stood beside the table, looking at the invitation with obvious disgust in his eyes.

Wang Dahu was also sitting aside, looking at the invitation as if he were facing a great enemy.

That’s right, both of them knew the Prime Minister’s Mansion’s wishful thinking. Looking at this invitation, they felt that it was a monster with its mouth open, waiting for their young ancestors to jump in.

Xu Qingqing looked at the invitation with a barely perceptible cunning smile on her lips.

'Tuk tuk tuk'

"Boss, Miss Zhao is looking for you."

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing paused tapping on the table: "Zhao Chanjuan? Why did she come to see me?"

He Anran and Wang Dahu shook their heads.

Xu Qingqing stood up and said, "You guys stay here, I'll go take a look."

What was going on? What good could come from Zhao Chanjuan coming to see her?

Following the waitress leading the way, Xu Qingqing came to the private room.

"Miss Zhao, how come you have time to come to Lun Xiaoyao to see me today?" Xu Qingqing walked into the room and sat down without any hesitation.

Zhao Chanjuan put down the teacup and looked at Xu Qingqing with a complicated expression.

Xu Qingqing:? ? Why are you looking at me like that?

"What's wrong, Miss Zhao?" Xu Qingqing poured herself a cup of tea and asked nonchalantly.

Zhao Chanjuan pinched her fingers, as if she had made up her mind.

"Did you know that Chen Shuhan wanted to marry you?"

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing was startled, then nodded after coming to her senses: "I know, he expressed his affection to me a few days ago. But don't worry, I don't have any romantic feelings for him."

Zhao Chanjuan shook her head: "That's not what I want to talk about. It's... Chen Shuhan wants to drug you at my grandmother's birthday party tomorrow."

Xu Qingqing: Wow, is it so easy to find out about the Prime Minister’s Mansion?

"How did Miss Zhao know?" Xu Qingqing put down the teacup and looked at Zhao Chanjuan.
