After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Cui Rongrong observed Su Xiuzhu's reaction calmly, and her suspicions were confirmed - someone had indeed leaked their whereabouts to Su Xiuzhu!

She protected Cui Yunhe behind her, with a hint of irony on her face, and looked directly at Su Xiuzhu: "Although the prince has warmly invited you, the storytelling downstairs is about to end, and my sister and I should go home to avoid our elders from missing us. Perhaps another day, we can meet unexpectedly at a more appropriate time and find a chance to have a good tea and chat."

Su Xiuzhu's brows knitted together slightly, as if she recalled something, and said in an unwilling tone: "I remember that time at the Taoist temple, Miss Cui and Miss Seven also left in a hurry. If I was not hospitable at that time, please speak frankly and give me a chance to make up for it."

"I am indeed sincere and hope to have an in-depth exchange with the two ladies." Although his words were sincere, Cui Rong always felt that there was an unknown intention hidden behind that smile.

Cui Rong responded with an indifferent look. She could not read any sincerity on Su Xiuzhu's face. She only felt that there was ill intention hidden behind that smile.

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. My sister and I have been away for a long time. It is time to return home so that our family will not worry." She responded with a faint smile, her tone firm.

Su Xiuzhu heard this and sneered, "But I always have a feeling that Miss Cui seems to be avoiding something and doesn't want to be with me. I came here to enjoy the fun of storytelling. I happened to meet the two ladies and invited them to share tea and chat. Even if I am not accepted, I won't avoid them like the snakes and scorpions, right?"

Faced with Su Xiuzhu's entanglement, a cold light flashed in Cui Rong's eyes, but she knew very well that as a descendant of the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, two generations of her family had been important officials in the court and were very powerful. There was no need to conflict with Su Xiuzhu over such a trivial matter, and thus let the Cui family and the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion fall into unnecessary disputes.

Therefore, she chose to endure and give in, but she had secretly decided in her heart that the matter must not be let go. She must find out who leaked their whereabouts and Su Xiuzhu's real purpose.

Cui Rongrong was wearing a long dress. The fingers hidden underneath moved slightly, and the air in the room fluctuated. An indescribable strange fragrance quietly filled the air.

Su Xiuzhu's nostrils trembled slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. He looked around, trying to capture the source of the sudden strange fragrance, but to no avail.

Then, his face suddenly changed, as if he was hit by an invisible force. He suddenly closed his eyes, his body stiffened, and he fell straight back.

Seeing this, the servant standing by was horrified. He hurried forward, stretched out his hands to catch Su Xiuzhu who fell heavily to the ground, his face full of anxiety and confusion.

He gently shook Su Xiuzhu's body, trying to wake up the unconscious nobleman, but Su Xiuzhu's eyelids were still closed, and his breathing was steady and deep, as if he was trapped in an endless dream.

The servant's heart beat faster and he was at a loss. He hurriedly ordered the guards to go and get a doctor, his voice trembling.

Cui Rong slowly withdrew her gaze from Su Xiuzhu, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She said softly: "Although I don't understand why the prince suddenly did this, staying here at this moment will probably only make the situation more chaotic."

"Although we cannot help directly, I promise that after we return, we will send someone to deliver some high-quality supplements to the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion. I hope that the prince can recover soon."

After she finished speaking, she gently pulled Cui Yunhe beside her, and the two of them walked out of the room slowly and gracefully.

Although the servant was extremely reluctant, facing Su Xiuzhu's emergency condition, he could only watch the two women leave, his heart filled with helplessness and worry.

The two sisters walked quickly through the stairwell of the teahouse and finally stepped out of the door. It was not until they got on the carriage that they had been waiting for that long that Cui Yunhe seemed to wake up from a sudden nightmare. She said with a trembling voice, "I was really scared just now. How could the prince faint out of nowhere?"

Cui Rongrong's voice was gentle and calm: "I noticed that the prince sounded quite weak when he spoke. It may be that he played too much on weekdays, which led to a weak constitution and suddenly fainted. You don't have to worry too much."

"However, what I am more curious about is who leaked the news about us in the teahouse to the prince." There was a hint of sharpness in her words.

Cui Yunhe was quick-witted. Hearing this, he immediately understood what his sister meant. He frowned slightly, thinking: "That's why my sister asked the servant when the prince arrived."

"But our whereabouts are secret. How could outsiders know about it except for our personal maid? Unless..." She stopped talking abruptly, as if she thought of a possibility she didn't want to face. She pursed her lips tightly with a complicated expression.

Cui Rongrong glanced at her sister, a look of understanding flashed in her eyes: "It seems that my sister already has the answer in her heart."

Cui Yunhe smiled bitterly: "Qingwan is the maid that my mother specially arranged for me. Although we grew up together, she always obeys my mother's orders."

"Mother has always hoped that I could bring honor to the family. Now that I think about it, our chance encounter with the prince here was probably arranged by mother. It's my fault that I have implicated my sister..." Her voice gradually became weaker and full of apology. She did not dare to look Cui Rong in the eye.

Seeing this, Cui Rongrong gently tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "What have you done wrong? All this was done by Song Xiaoniang on her own initiative. She thought that the prince was a good match for you, but it was just her selfish desire. When I go back, I will discuss this matter with my father. I will never let Song Xiaoniang interfere in your lifelong affairs."

Cui Yunhe shook her head slowly, her tone firm: "I understand what elder sister means, but this matter is ultimately about me. I can't rely on elder sister for everything and make things difficult for you."

"I want to talk to my mother in person. After all, mother and daughter are connected by blood, and blood is thicker than water. I believe she won't really push me into this fire pit."

Cui Rongrong was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Yunhe, you've been with Miss Song for many years, so you know her better than I do. How confident do you think you are in convincing her?"

"Since that chance encounter with the prince at the Taoist temple, Miss Song has probably already secretly contacted the prince. You should be able to guess what she is thinking, right?"

Cui Yunhe forced a smile: "I understand what elder sister means...but I still want to give it a try."

"Please don't tell my father about this for now. Let me talk to my mother first and then make a decision."

Seeing that her sister had made up her mind, Cui Rongrong said no more, but held her hand tightly, her eyes full of concern: "If there is anything wrong, you must tell me, I will find a way for you."

"Thank you, elder sister." Cui Yunhe's eyes were slightly red.

After returning to the mansion, Cui Rongrong watched Cui Yunhe walk towards Song Xiaoniang's courtyard, her brows unconsciously furrowed.

Seeing this, Xifeng asked softly, "Can this servant quietly follow Miss Seven, just in case?"
