At this moment, Luo Xiyao had no idea that she was the one who had offended Xie Nanyuan.

She wanted to make Xie Nanyuan happy, so she said to him in an extremely excited and relaxed tone: "Cousin, let me tell you, I accomplished something big today."

As she spoke, a pair of eyes on her smiling little face looked at Xie Nanyuan expectantly, as if to say, just ask me.

Xie Nanyuan did not disappoint her expectations. His low voice was calm and collected. "Oh, what's the big deal?" There seemed to be a faint sound of teeth colliding coming from his mouth.

Luo Xiyao was full of pride, "After my unremitting efforts, I finally found a man who meets Qionghua's standards."

"Huo Jing is simple-minded, handsome, and gentle. He is absolutely the perfect match for Qionghua."

"Although they are not familiar with each other yet, if they spend more time together, maybe they can succeed."

Luo Xiyao was so immersed in her own emotions that she didn't even notice her cousin's stiff face and tense jaw.

Lin Ze was simply unable to bear watching. He even felt that it was fortunate that Princess Pingning was a girl, otherwise she would have been beaten eight hundred times by the prince.

He quietly looked up at his prince, but after just one glance, he immediately lowered his head.

The prince finally fell in love with a woman. It would have been fine if Princess Pingning didn't help him, but she even made things worse by introducing men to the woman the prince liked. There was no way the prince would be happy.

Lin Ze was silently slandering in his heart when he was suddenly startled by a loud laugh.

Pei Liangchuan couldn't hold it back any longer, "Hahaha——"

He walked up to Luo Xiyao, waving his golden folding fan, and slowly raised his right hand to give a thumbs-up. His voice revealed a sense of gloating, "Princess Pingning, you are really this!"

Then, regardless of Luo Xiyao's puzzled look, he turned his head, raised one hand and waved it behind his forehead, "I'll go first!"

He left everyone behind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Luo Xiyao felt that this person was quite baffling. Before she could figure it out, she heard a sinister voice beside her ear, "If they become a couple, will you be happy?"

"Of course, and Qionghua likes men like Huo Jing. I think the chances of success are very high." Luo Xiyao blurted out after hearing what Xie Nanyuan said.

After he finished speaking, he looked towards Xie Nanyuan, and saw that the corners of his cousin's mouth were raised, with a look of half-smile. Although he was smiling with all eight teeth exposed, there was no sign of a smile on his face.

Luo Xiyao's body trembled, and a shudder shot up from the soles of her feet to her forehead.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Why are you laughing like that? It looks creepy.

Xie Nanyuan put away the corners of his mouth and looked at the unusually well-behaved Luo Xiyao in front of him. His voice was extremely gentle, "Nothing, I'm fine!"

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Fu Chen beside Luo Xiyao, and then his gaze fell back on the face that seemed particularly harmless at the moment. "Have fun, you guys. I have official business to attend to, so I'll leave first."

Having said that, he took a step forward and left without looking back.

Lin Ze's sympathetic gaze fell on Luo Xiyao for a moment, then he quickly retracted his gaze and followed Xie Nanyuan.

The atmosphere here was not very good, and it was also a bit awkward for Shen Qionghua and Huo Jing to walk side by side with a distance of only one person's width between them.

"Miss Shen——"

"Mr. Huo——"

The two of them spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Seeing Huo Jing's ears turned red with embarrassment, a smile flashed across Shen Qionghua's eyes.

She smiled and said, "Don't mind, Mr. Huo. Doctor Pei has always been free and uninhibited. It was just a joke. Mr. Huo, don't take it to heart."

Huo Jing was stunned when he heard Shen Qionghua say this. A hint of disappointment flashed through his heart, but he smiled and said, "I know. Miss Shen, don't take it to heart."

The two smiled at each other, both of them were frank and honest.

After walking and stopping for a long time, Shen Qionghua was wondering why Luo Xiyao and Fu Chen had not caught up yet, when she heard a hearty shout from behind, "Qionghua!"

Luo Xiyao walked up to Shen Qionghua like a gust of wind, took her arm, and said, "Let's go, let's continue shopping."

It was not until sunset that the two separated. Shen Qionghua got in the carriage and slowly left.

Only after they walked away and could no longer be seen did Huo Jing withdraw his gaze.

As soon as he turned his head, he met Luo Xiyao and Nuo Yu's gaze. His heart skipped a beat, and he forced himself to remain calm and bowed to Luo Xiyao and Fu Chen: "Princess, Brother Fu Chen, I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he left in a hurry. Because he walked too fast, he tripped over a stone on the road and almost fell.

Luo Xiyao stroked his chin and burst out laughing when he saw this funny scene.

She just said it.

Qionghua is beautiful, has a good personality, and is so capable. She can manage the Shen family's huge business in an orderly manner. How could anyone not like her?

Now she can finally rest assured.

Luo Xiyao returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion happily.

-

Prince Rui's Mansion.

Xie Nanyuan walked into the door angrily, and Lin Ze followed behind him, complaining in his heart.

I'm so unlucky today that I met Princess Pingning.

Now, Princess Pingning has angered the prince and left, but the prince is still angry, and the ones who are unlucky are her subordinates.

It seems that he needs to think of a way and must not become the prince's punching bag.

Linze lowered his head, his eyes rolling around.

Why don't we go back to the study and let Ji Bei serve tea to the prince?

Well, yes, that’s it. Anyway, Ji Bei has a cold face, so he shouldn’t be afraid of the prince... right... ?

Lin Ze was thinking secretly in his heart, but he caught a glimpse of Xie Nanyuan turning around and heading towards the martial arts field instead of returning to the study.

Lin Ze paused and hurriedly followed.

Xie Nanyuan entered the martial arts arena and without saying a word, took off all the valuables he was carrying.

Then he straightened his sleeves, turned around, and said to Lin Ze who had just followed him in with an expressionless face: "Exchange a few moves with me."
