Jiang Fuling was a little surprised to hear Shang Heng bring up this topic again. She stared at him with a smile while putting food into her mouth, "Why are you asking this again?"

Was it because what she said before was not good enough?

She thought she had hidden it well enough.

As a result, it was discovered at a glance.

It seems that she is not experienced enough in lying.

"Actually...Shen Chu and I have a pretty good relationship."

Jiang Fuling lowered her head as she said this, her gaze a little vague.

Because she had always created the illusion that she and Shen Chu had a bad relationship in front of others, it was completely understandable that everyone would think so.

But now she doesn't want to do that.

It's all ruined anyway.

Why are you pretending?

She thought that what she said would surprise Shang Heng, but it didn't happen.

Shang Heng just raised his eyes and looked at her.

"I've seen it a long time ago."

Perhaps when he heard the news that Jiang Fuling fell into the water and died, he had doubts about the relationship between Jiang Fuling and Shen Chu.

However, during this period of time, Shang Heng knew very well whether Jiang Fuling and Shen Chu had a good relationship or not.

They always pretend to be careless.

Obviously, if you just take it more seriously, people will be more likely to believe you.

But they didn't do that.

"What? You knew that a long time ago?"

She's clearly trying very hard to hide it, how can you tell?

Seeing Jiang Fuling's doubts, Shang Heng took the initiative to say, "You have never really hurt each other."

It's always just enough.

Hearing this, Jiang Fuling was slightly stunned.

Have it?

She thought she was vicious enough.

That’s not right. Isn’t it said that men can’t understand it?

How could he tell?

Thinking of this, Jiang Fuling asked directly, "Don't they say men can't see these things? How can you see it?"

As she said this, she put a piece of roast chicken into her mouth and chewed it with relish.

It seemed like a casual question.

Although he could see this, Shang Heng still answered the question seriously, "Because you're not pretending seriously."

They sat facing each other, their eyes hardly meeting.

Jiang Fuling seemed to be deliberately avoiding this.

"That's it..."

She nodded slightly, looking nonchalant.

"So you're not going to Qilin Mountain because of her? She's going back to Beijing."

The last sentence is not a question, but a statement.

Jiang Fuling, who was still peeling an orange, looked at him in surprise after hearing the last sentence. "How did you know?"

She didn't say anything.

She even threw away the note.

How did Shang Heng know?

Guess?

This is too accurate a guess.

Jiang Fuling was a little surprised and blinked slowly.

The note tied to the pigeon's leg did indeed say that Shen Chu was about to return to Beijing.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Fuling nodded, "Yes, Shen Chu will return to Beijing immediately."

Although she didn't know who released the pigeon and the handwriting didn't look like Shen Chu's, Jiang Fuling believed it.

Because of that overly modern statement.

"Did she come back with Xie Ming?"

Shang Heng is more concerned about this.

There has been some chaos in the court these days.

Every day he would only go to the court to listen to their speeches. Those civil servants always spoke in flowery language, which gave him a headache.

Every time, his attention would be distracted, but during this period, the civil servants' flowery words became less, but the names of certain people were mentioned a lot more.

And that person was Xie Ming.

Although far away in Yancheng, the name still appears frequently on everyone's lips.

Shang Heng actually doesn't care about Xie Ming's affairs.

But he was more concerned about the entire Qi State.

If the political situation is turbulent, he and his father, as generals, will inevitably have to wade into the muddy water.

And if the situation is serious, it will even affect people's lives.

There are precedents in history of people wanting to overthrow dynasties and establish new countries.

If this happens, he won't be able to escape unscathed.

Therefore, Shang Heng sincerely wanted Xie Ming to ascend the throne smoothly.

Because it will save a lot of trouble.

Without the prince seizing power, innocent people will be less affected.

Although he personally had no good feelings towards Xie Ming, it was undeniable that Xie Ming had certain means to reach this position.

Moreover, his ability is indeed the most outstanding among all the princes.

If Xie Ming can ascend the throne smoothly and manage the country properly, Shang Heng doesn't mind assisting him.

But the answer he got was negative. "I don't know. The note I received can only confirm that Shen Chu will return to Beijing soon."

As for Crown Prince Xie Ming... she didn't care much.

If Shen Chu really came back alone, it would mean that her relationship with Xie Ming had become strained.

If that was the case, then she would care even less about Xie Ming.

What kind of good person is that who has a falling out with her best friend?

Jiang Fuling's voice did not change at all, and her facial expression was dull.

At this moment, he was eating the food in front of him seriously and looked very comfortable.

Because there were no extra people to disturb her, Jiang Fuling ate much faster. Half an hour later, Jiang Fuling and Shang Heng left the restaurant.

This time it was Shang Heng who paid again.

He was very active in paying, and Jiang Fuling reasonably suspected that it was because of what she had said not long ago.

But even though she guessed this, she didn't say it out loud, but just walked quietly in front of Shang Heng.

"Do you like bracelets?"

Walking on the somewhat deserted East Street, Jiang Fuling suddenly spoke.

It was already past lunchtime and some people had already started their lunch break. Even in Beijing there wouldn't be many people here at this time, and dinner time would still be the peak time for traffic.

Hearing Jiang Fuling's words suddenly, Shang Heng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I like it."

If she wants to give it to me, she likes anything.

Although he thought so in his heart, he did not say it out loud.

Jiang Fuling was a little surprised to hear Shang Heng say this. She raised an eyebrow and stared at him, "Really? Then let's go buy a bracelet."

It's a way to thank him for his efforts today.

Jiang Fuling thought so in her heart.

Hearing Jiang Fuling's words, Shang Heng nodded quickly, "Okay!"

When they weren't paying attention, they didn't realize that someone was following them.

-

When Shen Chu said he was leaving, he really meant it.

I didn't even return to the villa that night.

When Xie Ming returned to Xu San's place, Shen Chu and others were about to have dinner, so he arrived just in time.

Coming with him were the three people he had previously named to be taken away. Each of them was carrying two large bags.

It's bulging and looks like it's filled with a lot of stuff.

Shen Chu stared at the bags and didn't say anything.

But when Xie Ming looked at her, she immediately looked away.
