The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

"What do you mean, Your Highness Prince An?" Shen Qionghua asked, with a hint of annoyance in his words.

The smile that had just risen on Xie Qian'an's lips froze, his eyes darkened for a moment, and then returned to his gentle and jade-like appearance. He said softly, "I have something I want to explain to Miss Shen."

Shen Qionghua frowned and said, "I don't think there's anything good to say to His Highness."

Xie Qian'an's attitude was beyond Shen Qionghua's expectations. She thought that their meeting again would be tense, but looking at his expression...it had become like that, could he still want to quibble?

Xie Qi'an was not angry at being humiliated, and still looked good-tempered, but his words carried a hint of imperviousness: "There are some things that Miss Shen doesn't care about, but for the sake of our future relationship, I think it's better to explain, so that Miss Shen won't misunderstand me."

"If Miss Shen refuses, then I will have no choice but to go to the Shen Mansion in person to explain to her. If Miss Shen refuses to see me, I will remain at the door of the Shen Mansion until she is willing to listen to my explanation."

"I am willing to impress Miss Shen with my sincerity, but if others knew about it, it would be bad for Miss Shen's reputation."

It's as shameless as a dog-skin plaster!

Shen Qionghua looked up at him.

Prince An had a smile on his face.

The two of them faced each other in silence. After a long while, Shen Qionghua finally spoke, "Then let's do as His Royal Highness Prince An wishes."

She wanted to see what Xie Qian'an wanted to say. After all, this Shiding Building was her territory, so she was not afraid that he would do anything out of line.

She said to An Jin, "Manager An, are there any vacant rooms in Shidinglou?"

"All the rooms for today have been booked." An Jin said.

The side rooms in Shidinglou are full every day, with only one room left for their own use. However, given the relationship between Prince An and the young lady, it is obviously not appropriate for them to go to that room.

"I just happened to have reserved a room today. If Miss Shen doesn't mind, why don't you go to the room I reserved?"

After a cup of tea.

Shaoyao and Fuling stood on both sides of the gate, and Fuling stared at Gao Lei with a bad look.

In the side room, Shen Qionghua and Xie Qian'an stood facing each other.

"Ms. Shen, please take a seat."

"No need for that. Your Highness Prince An, just say whatever you want to say. There are still things waiting for me to deal with in the mansion." Shen Qionghua said with a surprised look.

Xie Qi'an didn't look aggressive at all. He smiled and said, "I met with Miss Shen this time because I wanted to apologize to her for what happened at the old lady's birthday party last time."

Seeing Shen Qionghua's gaze, Xie Qi'an continued, "This prince was not aware that the Yongning Marquisate had other intentions towards the Shen family. My aunt, in order to scheme against the Shen family, even included me in her scheme. Fortunately, Miss Shen saw through her plan. Although this prince did not cause any harm to Miss Shen in the end, I still want to apologize to her."

His high-sounding words directly put all the blame on the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, which made Shen Qionghua amazed.

She raised her eyebrows and said playfully, "Oh? Your Highness Prince An means you don't know about this?"

"Of course, since Miss Shen didn't fall for the trick, she should have noticed that something else was added to the incense burner in the wing room, right?"

"I discovered that the person lying on the bed in the wing room was Miss Shen. I was thinking of going out to call for help, but I smelled the substance added to the incense burner and lost my mind."

Xie Qian'an looked sincere, and in just a few words, he completely cleared the responsibilities on his shoulders.

If Shen Qionghua had not been aware of his plan and was sure that she had made sufficient preparations to change the outcome, she would have believed his sweet words.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Shen Qionghua's mind.

Could it be that Xie Qian'an and the Yongning Marquisate thought that she only knew that the Yongning Marquisate was plotting against the Shen family, but didn't know that it was Xie Qian'an who instructed it, and was still thinking of sacrificing the rook to save the king?

Oh, if that's really what you think, it would be really interesting.

Seeing her expression flickering, Xie Qianan thought she was hesitating whether to believe him.

Even now, Xie Qian'an still felt that Shen Qionghua was not completely sure that the Yongning Marquis's plan against the Shen family had anything to do with him.

After all, he only talked about all these plans, and let the people in Yongning Marquis' Mansion carry them out. Except for a few necessary people, the rest of the people had no way of knowing that the Shen family's affairs were related to him, except for the loophole that he entered the room where Shen Qionghua was at the birthday banquet.

Therefore, he packaged himself as a victim, so as to explain why he appeared in the room where Shen Qionghua was, and perhaps even arouse Shen Qionghua's sympathy.

This kills two birds with one stone.

"Miss Shen, although I admire you, I disdain to use such means to get you." Xie Qian'an looked at Shen Qionghua firmly, without any guilt in his eyes.

Shen Qionghua wanted to applaud his performance. Xie Qian'an should not compete for the throne, but should become an actor.

Seeing the expectation hidden in his eyes, Shen Qionghua smiled, "That's a good thing, isn't it? Miss Zhou has admired His Royal Highness Prince An for a long time, and now that His Royal Highness has won her heart, it's a wonderful story."

Xie Qianan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying rather sadly, "This prince has no interest in her. Forcing them together will only make them a pair of resentful lovers."

"But she has lost her innocence. Due to the reputation of the Yongning Marquisate, I can only welcome her into the palace, but I will only give her the title of concubine and keep her in the palace. I will definitely reserve the position of Princess An for the one I love. What do you say, Miss Shen?"

Xie Qian'an looked at Shen Qionghua with a burning gaze, as if to say that the position of Princess An was reserved for Shen Qionghua, and that Shen Qionghua was the person he liked.

Shen Qionghua, however, remained unmoved. Her eyes were calm and her voice was even. "How can a merchant girl like me dictate the position of Princess An? No matter who Princess An is, it has nothing to do with my Shen family."

Such a calm attitude really surprised Xie Qian'an.

As far as he knew, Zhou Lingfu and Shen Qionghua had always had a bad relationship. Now that Zhou Lingfu had become his concubine, he offered the position of Princess An to Shen Qionghua with both hands. Even if Shen Qionghua didn't like him, she should have some other emotions after hearing his completely different attitudes towards the two of them.

For example, gloating over someone else's misfortune, or being complacent... In any case, it shouldn't be this calm and peaceful...

Xie Qian'an frowned slightly, feeling that Shen Qionghua's difficulty was far beyond his expectations.

"However, I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Prince An felt that he was being plotted against by the wife of Marquis Yongning, but he would still consider the reputation of the Marquis Yongning's Mansion. His Royal Highness is really magnanimous." Shen Qionghua said.

Xie Qi'an didn't notice the sarcasm in Shen Qionghua's words, and thought Shen Qionghua believed what he said. He was delighted and said, "The Yongning Marquis' Mansion is my maternal family, and my aunt is an elder, so naturally I shouldn't make a fuss about it."

Shen Qionghua's heart moved, and she understood the hidden meaning of Xie Qian'an's words, but she pretended not to understand and did not say anything.
