After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Chapter 193 You are so cute and stupid

Although Shi Cunhou is nearly fifty years old, there is not a trace of gray hair on his head, and his whole face is gentle and elegant.

He is a well-known neutral faction in the court and never takes sides easily. In the past, when he met Xiao Jinzhi and Xiao Rongxuan in private, he would rarely initiate invitations.Looking like this today, it's hard not to feel that he has something important to discuss.

"Now that Shi Guogong has spoken out, this prince is disrespectful." Xiao Rongxuan was the first to respond.

Shi Cunhou looked at Xiao Jinzhi again, "What do you think of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"I think this garden is very nice and I don't plan to leave." Xiao Jinzhi refused.

"Brother, could it be that he is reluctant to leave Miss Chu." Xiao Rongxuan sneered, and his mocking eyes fell unceremoniously on Xiao Jinzhi.

The atmosphere that had just relaxed among the crowd suddenly became stiff again.

His Highness, the Crown Prince, said something like that while surrounding a woman. No matter what was going on inside, at least on the surface, he shouldn't have spoken like this. What the Third Prince, His Highness, said was too rude.

Just when everyone was waiting for Xiao Jinzhi to retort, the latter was not angry or annoyed, but followed Xiao Rongxuan's words and said: "The third brother is right, the fiancée who has been coaxed back from loneliness naturally needs to spend more time together. "

Xiao Rongxuan sneered, and his eyes became more and more contemptuous, "Then just follow the emperor brother. Anyway, I will not offend him when invited by Duke Shi."

After speaking, Xiao Rongxuan looked at Shi Cunhou.

Shi Cunhou frowned, looked at Xiao Rongxuan in embarrassment, then at Xiao Jinzhi, and sighed softly the next moment.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, actually I have some government affairs matters, and I would like to ask you and His Highness the Third Prince for advice. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can move on. As for Miss Chu..."

Shi Cunhou looked at Shi Wanxian who was standing aside.

The latter quickly spoke: "Your Highness, please rest assured that I will take good care of Miss Chu."

"Your Highness, there is nothing to worry about. Go ahead." Chu Huanyan also said.

Having said that, if Xiao Jinzhi doesn't go, rumors will spread that he is neglecting government affairs for his own sake within a day.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan, a trace of worry flashed between his eyebrows.

Shi Guogong suddenly had some government affairs at this time, which was a bit strange in itself, plus Lin Qingying suddenly disappeared...

"It's okay, I'll be careful myself." Chu Huanyan spoke softly, her eyes firm.

Seeing Chu Huanyan like this, Xiao Jinzhi did not persist any longer. He just glanced at Pei Zhaoqing calmly when he followed Shi Cunhou away.

Pei Zhaoqing also nodded secretly to reassure Xiao Jinzhi.

After Xiao Jinzhi and the others left, the garden became lively again. Liu Zhaoran walked to Chu Huanyan's side. Although Pei Zhaoqing and Liu Qianran were standing in another place, they kept paying attention to Chu Huanyan and the others.

Shi Wanxian was being pulled to talk by several ladies from the boudoir, and occasionally her eyes would quietly look at Liu Qianran who was not far away.

"How is your marriage with Pei Zhaoqing going?" Chu Huanyan asked Liu Zhaoran in a low voice.

Liu Zhaoran's face flashed with disappointment for a moment, but then he showed a helpless smile, "I really don't know how to speak."

Chu Huanyan nodded, expressing understanding, "What about Prime Minister Liu?"

"Father has not mentioned the matter of breaking off the engagement in the past few days, but after today, when the marriage between eldest brother and Miss Shi is gradually finalized, I am afraid that my father will not let me delay it any longer." Liu Zhaoran's tone was full of depression. feel.

"Don't be sad yet. Before the end is reached, there may be opportunities for improvement." Chu Huanyan comforted her.

"I understand." Liu Zhaoran took a deep breath, raised his head and smiled at Chu Huanyan, "It doesn't matter, there is no need to let this matter affect your mood today. I just saw that His Highness the Crown Prince is very interested in you, Huanyan , I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart."

"Thank you." Chu Huanyan said with a smile. As soon as she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Lin Qingying walking in from the entrance of the garden.

Turning his head to look, he saw that the other person's face was no longer as ugly and angry as before. Instead, there was a look of pride between his brows and eyes, and a faint smile at the corner of his lips.Seeing Chu Huanyan looking at her, Lin Qingying gently shook her right hand, or in other words, shook the purse she held in her right hand.

After seeing that thing clearly, Chu Huanyan immediately frowned.

It was like the purse of a crescent moon.

According to the rules of the Duke's Mansion, the maids and servants who followed were arranged to rest elsewhere, and Xian Yue was among them.

Did Lin Qingying just go to see Xian Yue?
Before Chu Huanyan could think about it, Lin Qingying had already walked up to her.

"Ms. Chu, I wonder if I can have a few words alone?"

"Qingying, what are you going to do?" Liu Zhaoran frowned and looked at Lin Qingying defensively.

The latter glanced at Liu Zhaoran and said, "I'm talking to Miss Chu. Cousin, you don't have to ask."

Ever since the incident of releasing the snake, Liu Zhaoran and Lin Qingying had completely broken up with each other. Now facing Liu Zhaoran, Lin Qingying didn't even bother to pretend to be polite.

Pei Zhaoqing had been paying attention here. When he saw Lin Qingying approaching Chu Huanyan and Liu Zhaoran, he immediately walked over and asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing. It's just that I have something to say to Miss Chu alone. It's just..." Lin Qingying quietly stuffed the purse in her hand into her sleeve, "It's just that Miss Chu doesn't look too big." willing."

Pei Zhaoqing frowned, "If you have anything to say, just leave it here..."

"Okay." Chu Huanyan interrupted Pei Zhaoqing, looked at Lin Qingying and replied.

"Miss Chu..."

"It doesn't matter." Chu Huanyan shook her head.

Soon, she followed Lin Qingying to a rock outside the garden.

"Where is Crescent Moon?" Chu Huanyan asked directly.

"Miss Chu really cares about that slave." Lin Qingying took out her purse from her sleeve and played with it in her hand, "Don't worry, she is fine, she was just knocked unconscious."

"So what's your back-up plan?" Chu Huanyan looked around, her tone calm and curious, "Are you looking for someone to ambush you and want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack? Or are you trying to frame the blame for something by taking advantage of the fact that there are only you and me here?"

Lin Qingying raised her eyebrows slightly, "Since you doubt me, why do you follow me out?"

"If you don't follow me, I'm afraid the whole banquet will be ruined. I'll have to guess what you want to do. It'll be so tiring and tiring."

Chu Huanyan raised her lips and looked at the person in front of her.

"And to be honest, I was a little uneasy when I didn't see Miss Lin just now, but since you showed up, I feel much more at ease."

Lin Qingying frowned and looked at Chu Huanyan. Perhaps she was stimulated by the other party's smile, and anger welled up in her heart.

He suddenly stepped forward, pulled out the hairpin from Chu Huanyan's head, and put it against his heart.

"Chu Huanyan, if I shouted loudly now that you hurt me, you would still be able to laugh..."

"Pfft!" Chu Huanyan's laughter interrupted Lin Qingying's words. She tried hard to suppress her laughter, "Sorry, I really couldn't hold it in."

Lin Qingying's face was dark, "Chu Huanyan!"

Chu Huanyan smiled playfully, "Ms. Lin, you are so cute. Don't you know that the angle and force of the wounds you stabbed are completely different from those stabbed by others? You don't even need to cooperate. Even some experienced people stabbed you. Even the guards can easily identify it.”
