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

Chapter 195 Tell Qu Xiaowan

After He Jingcheng left Chunheyuan, he walked towards the study.

On the way, he saw Fang Di standing alone on the side of the road from afar, as if waiting for someone.

Before He Jingcheng could speak, Fang Di saw He Jingcheng and walked quickly towards him.

"Your Highness."

"Did you find any special situation?"

He Jingcheng and Fang Di talked as they walked.

"Yes." Fang Di nodded.

"explain."

"Madam Sumei, she was escorted back by Shi Hui. When I found Madam Sumei, I was only concerned about Madam Sumei and didn't pay attention to the situation around me, but my subordinates noticed it." Fang Di looked serious.

"I know this. Su Mei has already told me. She said she met a masked man in black on the road who wanted to take her life. Fortunately, Shi Hui rescued her in time and sent her back to the capital." He Jingcheng said lightly.

Fang Di was stunned for a moment, then he said, "But I find it very strange. Why did Shi Hui secretly escort Madam Su Mei from a distance instead of staying by her side to protect her?"

"He should be afraid of people gossiping, right? After all, he is He Tingxi's man." He Jingcheng explained calmly.

"Since he is His Royal Highness Prince Yan's man, why did he go to protect Madam Sumei? Even if he was sent by His Royal Highness Prince Yan to rescue Madam Sumei, he should have left after arriving in the capital, right?" Fang Di analyzed.

As soon as he finished speaking, He Jingcheng was startled. He recalled Su Mei's reaction to Shi Hui, and suddenly, he felt something.

His face gradually darkened.

Seeing that He Jingcheng remained silent, Fang Di advised, "Your Highness, it is better to ask clearly."

He Jingcheng nodded, anger slowly appearing in his eyes.

Fang Di noticed the change in He Jingcheng's expression, and he bowed slightly to He Jingcheng.

"Your Highness, I will take my leave now."

"Ah."

He Jingcheng nodded and looked at Fang Di's back. He whispered, "Shi Hui, did you do something excessive to Su Mei? How dare you touch my woman? You want to die, don't you?"

After saying that, he clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger.

……

Princess Qu Xiaowan of Prince Lu and her maid Caiying were walking in the yard.

Suddenly, I heard the voice of the guard at the gate.

"Princess, Master Qu wants to see you."

Qu Xiaowan was startled, confused, and muttered, "Brother? Why is he here?"

"welcome."

After a while, Young Master Qu walked into the yard and walked towards Qu Xiaowan.

After approaching Qu Xiaowan, Young Master Qu bowed first.

"Greetings to the Princess Lu."

"Brother, you and I are siblings, there is no need to greet each other." Qu Xiaowan raised her hand slightly to signal Master Qu to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Young Master Qu stood up straight, he looked at Caiying deliberately without saying a word.

"This servant has met the eldest master."

When Caiying saw Master Qu looking at her, she hurriedly bowed, and then she continued, "I will withdraw first and not disturb you, Master."

After saying that, he stepped back and stood in the distance looking at Qu Xiaowan.

When Master Qu saw Caiying being so sensible, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

After seeing Caiying walk away, Qu Xiaowan continued walking slowly.

Young Master Qu also followed slowly.

"Brother, why are you here at this time? Did something happen in the mansion?" Qu Xiaowan spoke first, worriedly.

Master Qu glanced around and felt relieved when he saw that the servants were standing far away.

He whispered mysteriously, "Xiao Wan, who do you think my brother met today?"

"Who?"

When Qu Xiaowan learned that it was not about the Qu family, she felt much better. As for what Young Master Qu said, she spoke indifferently.

"Su Mei." Young Master Qu continued in a low voice.

"Really?" Qu Xiaowan said expressionlessly, without a trace of emotion in her heart.

Qu Xiaowan's cold reaction made Master Qu instantly disappointed, and at the same time, he was also very confused.

"Xiao Wan, what's wrong with you? You should hate her, right?" Young Master Qu couldn't help but ask.

"Hate? Why should I hate her? I quite like her." Qu Xiaowan laughed coldly.

"What? You actually like her? Are you speaking in a sarcastic way?" Young Master Qu widened his eyes in shock.

"Since she came to the mansion, Prince Lu has never come to my place again. I am so happy that I can't even express it." Qu Xiaowan answered calmly.

"What? His Royal Highness Prince Lu really never came to you again? Not even once? But you are pregnant with his child now?" Young Master Qu found it hard to accept for a moment and became anxious.

After saying this, he saw the maids in the distance were looking at him, and then he realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly adjusted his facial expression and pretended to be calm.

Seeing this, Qu Xiaowan was still very calm. She said calmly, "I told him not to come."

"What? Xiaowan, do you know what you are doing?" Young Master Qu asked with a stern face.

"I know. He and I have a political marriage. As long as we have a child, nothing else matters." Qu Xiaowan looked calm.

Qu Xiaowan's "indifference" left Mr. Qu speechless for a moment.

Seeing Master Qu staring at her blankly, Qu Xiaowan couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In order to appease Master Qu, she continued, "Brother, do you want to say that you saw Su Mei alone outside today?"

"Yes, yes. Do you know?" Young Master Qu came back to his senses, nodded and asked back.

"I know. Su Mei is the favorite concubine of His Royal Highness Prince Lu. Now that she's missing, the people in the mansion must be very worried. It's hard not to know about it." Qu Xiaowan said lightly.

Seeing that Qu Xiaowan had opened the topic, Master Qu leaned over to Qu Xiaowan and whispered, "Xiaowan, after I met Sumei today, I secretly followed her, and then I discovered a big secret."

"What big secret?" Qu Xiaowan asked when she saw Young Master Qu had a mysterious look on his face.

Young Master Qu told Qu Xiaowan everything he had seen and heard today. After that, he stood up straight and kept his distance.

Qu Xiaowan was shocked when she heard this. She stared at Master Qu for a moment before she spoke slowly.

"Is everything you said true?" Qu Xiaowan still found it hard to believe.

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes, so it can't be fake." Young Master Qu's eyes were certain.

"You said that after Su Mei fainted, Lord Shi Hui carried Su Mei into the carriage. The two of them stayed in the carriage for a quarter of an hour before Lord Shi Hui got out. At that time, the coachman was still lying on the ground and had not woken up, right?" Qu Xiaowan confirmed again.

"Yes, that's right." Young Master Qu nodded heavily, and then he asked, "A man and a woman alone stayed in a carriage for a quarter of an hour. What do you think this implies?"

Qu Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and her eyes widened.

"Brother, you mean, they have already..."

Before Qu Xiaowan finished speaking, Mr. Qu nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I meant. A quarter of an hour is not short."

Qu Xiaowan looked at Mr. Qu and frowned slightly.

"But I still find it a little strange. What kind of person is Lord Shi Hui?"
