I traveled through time just for the jade hairpin, I never wanted to be the queen

Chapter 205 Rejecting Shi Hui

Xiaoran's voice woke Han Min up. She looked at Xiaoran, forced a smile and shook her head.

"No, it's just a small matter. Let's go back home."

After saying that, he walked directly towards the carriage.

Xiao Ran frowned slightly when she saw this, but she didn't ask any more questions and just followed behind obediently.

On the way back home, Han Min kept his head down and remained silent. Xiao Ran watched quietly and did not dare to ask more questions.

Han Min returned to the room, sat at the table, and after thinking for a long time, he saw Xiao Ran finished her work and called Xiao Ran to his side.

"Madam, what do you want me to do for you?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Xiao Ran, help me investigate some things privately."

"What's the matter?"

Han Min whispered a lot of things in Xiao Ran's ear, then ordered, "Go now and come back as soon as possible to let me know."

"Okay, ma'am, I'll go right away." Xiao Ran nodded and walked out of the room immediately.

Looking at Xiaoran's back, Han Min sighed slightly.

"Only you can verify this yourself."

At this moment, Han Min's eyes became unusually deep.

……

Han Min had been sitting in the room waiting for Xiao Ran.

At 5 p.m., when Han Min saw Xiao Ran walk into the room, she asked the other maids to leave and spoke to Xiao Ran alone.

"What happened? Did you find out anything?" Han Min was a little impatient.

Xiao Ran walked to Han Min's side and whispered, "I found out that Madam Su Mei from Prince Lu's Mansion left the palace without permission and rented a carriage to go to the north. Unfortunately, she was attacked by unknown people on the way. It was Master Shi Hui who saved her and sent her back to the capital."

"It seems that what Mr. Qu said is true. I didn't expect that my husband is still very considerate to Madam Sumei." There was a hint of jealousy in Han Min's words.

Xiao Ran immediately sensed Han Min's jealousy, and she hurriedly comforted her, "Madam, maybe His Highness sent someone to protect Madam Su Mei, Madam, don't think too much."

Seeing Xiao Ran comforting her, Han Min nodded because she didn't want Xiao Ran to worry.

"Okay, I got it. You don't have to come and serve me tonight. Go to bed early in your room?" Han Min ordered.

"Yes, thank you, Madam." Xiao Ran smiled happily, answered, left the room and went back to her own room.

As soon as Xiaoran left, Han Min's expression immediately turned gloomy.

She muttered, "Madam Sumei, the favorite concubine of His Royal Highness Prince Lu, has a great figure and appearance. Will your husband be attracted to her?"

Thinking of this, Han Min suddenly lost confidence.

"That day, after my husband came back, he didn't say much, but he was intimate with me, and he was very passionate, completely different from usual. In the following days, my husband was with me, but he was not in the same state as that day. At that time, I felt that something must have happened to my husband. Today, it seems that it has something to do with Madam Sumei."

Han Min analyzed the situation to herself, but the more she spoke, the more uneasy she felt. She vaguely sensed something.

Having said that, Han Min lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After a while, tears slowly formed in his eyes, and a few drops even flowed down his face.

At this time, Han Min heard footsteps outside the door. She knew it was Shi Hui, and she quickly turned her face away and wiped the tears from her eyes and face with her hands.

He also patted his face with both hands to calm himself.

When Shi Hui walked into the room, Han Min no longer looked frustrated.

As soon as she saw Shi Hui, she immediately stood up to greet him and took off his coat.

"Husband, why are you here so early today? Have you finished all your official business?" Han Min asked with concern.

"Everything is done." Shi Hui nodded, then walked to the table and sat down.

After Han Min hung Shi Hui's coat on the hanger, she walked to the table, poured a glass of water for Shi Hui, and then sat down next to him.

Seeing this, Shi Hui picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.

After putting down the cup, he realized that there was no maid in the room, even Xiaoran was not there. He felt a little strange and asked, "Min'er, where are the maids? Where did they go?"

"I asked them to go out. I suddenly wanted to be alone." Han Min responded with a smile.

"Alone and quiet?"

After Shi Hui finished speaking, he looked at Han Min.

When Han Min saw Shi Hui looking at her, she hurriedly lowered her eyes.

Shi Hui was stunned by this action. He always felt that Han Min's reaction was abnormal and very different from usual.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about something? Tell me..."

Shi Hui reached out and wanted to touch Han Min's hands on her legs.

When Han Min saw Shi Hui's hand, he reached out and quickly moved both hands to the table.

Shi Hui couldn't help but be stunned, and stopped talking.

Han Min noticed the change in Shi Hui's expression and she hurried to explain.

"No, I just feel very depressed."

"Why do you feel depressed? Are you feeling unwell?" Shi Hui recovered and continued to ask with concern.

"No." Han Min lowered his head and shook his head.

Seeing that Han Min refused to say more, Shi Hui frowned slightly, his heart full of doubts.

After a moment of silence, Shi Hui saw that Han Min still hadn't spoken, so he changed the subject.

"I'm a little hungry, how about dinner?"

"Okay." Han Min still lowered his head.

After asking the maids to prepare dinner, Shi Hui and Han Min ate together.

Han Min didn't say a word during the meal. Seeing this, Shi Hui had no choice but to remain silent as well.

After the hour of Xu, Han Min went to bed to rest.

Shi Hui also followed Han Min to the bed. After lying on the bed, Shi Hui turned sideways and wanted to kiss Han Min.

But when Han Min saw Shi Hui approaching, she quickly turned around and faced away from Shi Hui.

Shi Hui was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Min'er, what's wrong?" Shi Hui couldn't help but ask.

"No, I suddenly felt unwell today and wanted to rest early." Han Min continued with his back to Shi Hui.

Shi Hui paused for a moment before saying with a disappointed look on his face: "Okay, then let's go to bed early."

"Yes. Husband, you should also go to bed early." Han Min responded.

"Okay." Shi Hui nodded.

Looking at Han Min's back, Shi Hui couldn't help but wonder: What happened to Min'er? Why did her attitude towards me change so much? She never rejected me, but today, she rejected me. Did something happen today? Let's ask Xiao Ran tomorrow?

next day

While Han Min was taking a lunch break, Shi Hui secretly called Xiao Ran to an empty corner.

When Xiao Ran saw Shi Hui having a "talk" alone, her heart skipped a beat. She knew it must be about Han Min and she felt very uneasy.

Shi Hui didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Xiao Ran, Madam was in a bad mood yesterday. Why? Tell the truth." Shi Hui said sternly with a straight face.

Xiao Ran was startled and stammered, "Sir, this, that..."

Xiao Ran's eyes flickered, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Speak, or I'll beat you with a stick." Shi Hui was a little annoyed and he yelled.

As soon as he yelled, Xiao Ran immediately became timid.

He immediately told Shi Hui everything that happened yesterday.

When Shi Hui heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Shi Hui's dazed look, Xiao Ran became nervous and scared, and her whole body began to shake uncontrollably.

After a while, Shi Hui came back to his senses. Seeing Xiao Ran's trembling look, he sighed slightly.

"Go, don't tell the lady what happened today."

"Yes."

Xiao Ran responded and retreated in a panic.
