Chapter 170 Wanting Miss Chu to help

There was a brief silence in the entire backyard.

Looking at Pei Zhaoqing's expression as if he were mourning for his heir, Xiao Jinzhi asked sincerely: "When... did you have a wife?"

Pei Zhaoqing's face turned red, "Isn't it Miss Liu?"

"Aren't you just making fun of yourself?" Xiao Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Your Highness knows?" Pei Zhaoqing was a little surprised.

Although it was said that he and His Highness the Crown Prince had been secretly in contact with each other, he did not tell His Highness the whole story.

"I heard that you and Miss Liu were engaged. I thought... my future wife might be curious, so I asked someone to check it out in advance." Xiao Jinzhi deliberately emphasized the word "future wife".

Although Huanyan did not mention this matter in front of him, he had already found out the inside story.

Pei Zhaoqing frowned, "It was indeed a joke at first, but..."

But after this period of time, he found that he really fell in love with Zhaoran.

Previously, the Liu family wanted to arrange a betrothal for Zhaoran, and the person who made the appointment was Mrs. Liu's nephew. Zhaoran was not happy, especially after discovering that the other party had close contacts with Lin Qingying and Lin Cheng's family, Zhaoran became even more unwilling.

After several failed attempts at rejection, she pulled her into the fray. Her initial plan was to find a way to disrupt the marriage, but she didn't expect that her father had returned some time ago. After hearing about it, she immediately went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage. The marriage between the two families was settled like this.

A few days ago, he even started to discuss the follow-up marriage. He was secretly happy, thinking that God was helping him. However, he did not expect that Zhaoran came to him three days ago and began to discuss ways to terminate the engagement, saying that it was We can't continue to make trouble like this.

He was afraid that Zhaoran would be unhappy, so he agreed, thinking that he would find a way to make her change her mind later. But he didn't expect that as soon as he agreed, Zhaoran's side really started to make quick calculations. Looking at this situation, I'm afraid it won't be long before the marriage. It’s going to be yellow!

"Prince Pei, since you like Miss Liu, why don't you just say it?" Qin Li said, "If you express your feelings directly, maybe Miss Liu doesn't want to terminate the engagement."

"Then what if I express my feelings and scare Zhaoran, and she becomes more energetic and wants to terminate the engagement as soon as possible?"

To express his feelings, it’s not like he hasn’t thought about this matter, and he even said it several times.But……

Zhaoran was just dragging him to act in a play. They had made good terms at the beginning, and neither of them had any other thoughts about the other, they were just helping.

"I'm afraid that if I suddenly express my feelings now, it will look like I'm going back on my word. If Zhao Ran misunderstands that I had other ideas from the beginning, taking advantage of others' danger, it will be over." Pei Zhaoqing sounded worried and annoyed.

Seeing this hesitant look, Shen Chi shook his head and faced Xiao Jinzhi.

"Your Highness, must you have seen it? This is what he looks like when he is stuck in a petty love affair. He is gibbering and sloppy."

"What I saw was clearly cautious and full of love." Xiao Jinzhi sat on the edge of the stone table and said leisurely.

He could understand Pei Zhaoqing's mood. In fact, it was probably the same in his mind.

I want to get closer and take a step further, but I am afraid of being too abrupt and annoying the other person.So I worry about gains and losses and hesitate.

"Your Highness, I really have no choice, so I came to you for advice." Pei Zhaoqing sighed, "If this continues, I'm afraid the engagement will really be terminated."

Whether it is the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, they are not small families. How many pairs of eyes are watching, and there is no room for childishness. Once the engagement is terminated, it will be difficult to make a new one later.

"Although I can understand your feelings, I really can't do anything about it." Xiao Jinzhi shook his head, "You also know the relationship between Gu and the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone Miss Liu, there is no intersection."

"Your Highness doesn't, but Miss Chu does!" Pei Zhaoqing said immediately.He has heard all the rumors about His Highness and Miss Chu during this period.

"Your Highness, although Zhaoran and Miss Chu have not met recently, I can feel that Zhaoran really likes Miss Chu in his heart and regards Miss Chu as a friend. So I hope that Miss Chu can help ask and see. What is Zhaoran thinking in the bottom of his heart?"

He just wanted to find out, after spending this time together, could it be that Zhaoran really didn't like him at all?

Xiao Jinzhi understood what Pei Zhaoqing meant, "Why don't you ask her for help yourself? You two also know each other."

"How can it be the same? Based on the relationship between His Highness and Miss Chu, if His Highness had spoken, then Miss Chu would definitely be able to do her best."

Moreover, it was not easy for him to meet Miss Chu in private. It would be troublesome if people misunderstood him.

The corners of Xiao Jinzhi's lips curled up, obviously he was very impressed by Pei Zhanqing's words.

"In that case, I will do you a favor and let Huanyan ask."

"Thank you, Your Highness. Without further ado, can we go now?"

"No." Xiao Jinzhi thought of Chu Huanyan's blue eyes and refused directly, "I just made a trip from the palace today, let her have a good rest."

"Then tomorrow, is it okay tomorrow?" Pei Zhaoqing asked impatiently, "It's best if I can go with His Highness, otherwise I might not be able to explain some things clearly."

Xiao Jinzhi glanced at him and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, don't bother me early in the morning."

Pei Zhaoqing quickly agreed, and not long after, he said goodbye and left with the sadness that "the wife may be gone".

In the early morning of the next day, Pei Zhaoqing did not go to the Ning'an Hou Mansion to disturb him, but he arrived at the Prince's Mansion early, waiting for Xiao Jin to return from the imperial court.

In today's morning court, there were once again numerous articles about impeachment, all of which accused Xiao Jinzhi of beating his brother.In the end, even the morning court was delayed a lot, and it was not until noon that Xiao Jinzhi returned to the Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness, can we go there at noon? I'm really impatient to wait." Seeing Xiao Jinzhi, Pei Zhanqing immediately came forward eagerly.

Xiao Jinzhi glanced at him, "Are you so eager?"

"Of course Your Highness is not in a hurry. After all, it is not your wife who is going to die." Pei Zhaoqing frowned.

The more he thought about it, the less at ease he felt. He lay there with his eyes wide open until dawn last night and couldn't fall asleep at all!

"Prince Pei, even if you are anxious, you should still cover it up. No one else knows about your relationship with His Highness. You can't go to Ning'an Marquis Mansion together so blatantly," Qin Li reminded.

"His Royal Highness, go first. I'll just follow you quietly." Pei Zhaoqing said immediately.

Unable to stand the other party's anxious appearance, Xiao Jinzhi finally set off for Ning'an Hou Mansion at noon.

Pei Zhaoqing left the Prince's Mansion and quietly got into the carriage that had been prepared for a long time and headed for the Ning'an Marquis Mansion.

At the gate of the Hou Mansion, Xiao Jinzhi stood beside the carriage. Qin Li, who had gone to the gate to send someone a message, came over to report.

"Your Highness, my subordinates asked and said that Miss Chu left the house half an hour ago and is not in the house now."
