Chapter 195 Mr. Huo is interested in someone else’s woman?
Lin Ze rushed to the Shen Mansion, but was still a step too late. Who knew that the prince could actually climb over the wall in broad daylight.
After entering the Shen Mansion, Linze saw the three people in the pavilion from afar. The tense atmosphere could be felt even from a distance.
Lin Ze thought to himself, this is terrible, why is Huo Jing in the Shen Mansion?
Isn’t this hitting the prince’s sword?
Linze hesitated again and again, but still didn't have the courage to step forward.
It would be better for him not to get involved in such matters.
If he gets involved well, the future mistress will hate him. If he gets involved badly, the prince will hate him. Why should he bother?
Seeing Shaoyao and the others standing under the wall, he sneaked over and then pricked up his ears to listen to the movement over there.
Linze was also a martial artist with excellent hearing. Shaoyao and others could not hear the sounds in the pavilion clearly, but Linze could hear some of them.
There was silence in the pavilion.
Xie Nanyuan sneered, tucked the letter in his hand into his arms, sat down with a stern gesture, and said, "You two continue your conversation. Aren't you having a good time? I'm very curious. Tell me what you've said so I can hear it too."
"Don't worry, I will never disturb you. Just pretend I don't exist. Ha!"
Shen Qionghua: “…”
What's going on here?
Huo Jing felt a little uncomfortable.
Although he had only met Prince Rui a few times, he could see that Prince Rui disliked him.
He then bowed to King Rui and was about to take his leave.
Shen Qionghua also noticed that Prince Rui was not in a good state at the moment. She did not want to implicate Huo Jing, so she was about to send him away when she heard Xie Nanyuan say, "Why are you leaving now?"
"Huo Tanhua wants to leave as soon as I arrive. Could it be that he has something against me?"
"Or..." Xie Nanyuan paused, gritting his teeth and said, "The conversation between Huo Tanhua and Jialin County Master is quite private, so I can't listen in?"
Lin Ze could smell the vinegar smell that was almost overflowing even from several meters away.
He turned around silently, not looking, but still pricked up his ears to listen to the movement inside.
Since Prince Rui had said this, Huo Jing felt it difficult to leave for a moment, otherwise it would have confirmed Prince Rui's words.
Shen Qionghua gave Huo Jing an apologetic smile and said, "The sun is very strong right now, Mr. Huo, please sit for a while."
After Shen Qionghua said this, Huo Jing sat down again.
There was silence for a moment, and a feeling of oppression filled the air.
Shen Qionghua glanced at Xie Nanyuan, who was just sitting there with a gloomy face, and the temperature around him seemed to have dropped. She didn't know what was wrong with this man, so she simply ignored him.
He sat down and looked at Huo Jing to continue the previous topic. "Anyway, thank you very much, Mr. Huo. I'll trouble you to make a few more trips during this period."
Huo Jing smiled slightly and was about to speak when Xie Nanyuan interrupted him, "Speaking of which..."
Shen Qionghua and Huo Jing looked at Xie Nanyuan at the same time, and heard him say, "Young Master Huo was chosen by our father as the third place in the imperial examination. He will be appointed to an official position soon. He should be very busy right now, attending various poetry gatherings and banquets. How could he have time to come to the Shen residence?"
Facing Xie Nanyuan's question, Huo Jing was about to answer, but Xie Nanyuan seemed to be afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear. He didn't even give Huo Jing a chance to answer, and then said:
"Everyone says that one should get married first and then establish a career, but Master Huo did the opposite. Now that he has won the third place in the imperial examination, he can be considered to have established a career. I wonder when he will prepare to get married?"
"I heard that Mr. Huo received a lot of sachets and handkerchiefs during the parade. It seems he is very popular. I wonder if he likes any of them?"
"If you have one, you can also tell me about it. If I think they are a good match for Master Huo, I might be able to ask the emperor for an imperial decree to grant them marriage, which would be a good thing."
Shen Qionghua and Huo Jing were both stunned by Xie Nanyuan's long string of words. Isn't Prince Rui always cold and concise in his words?
Why are you so talkative today?
When the two of them reacted, they realized that Prince Rui actually wanted to act as a matchmaker for Huo Jing.
Shen Qionghua: “…”
Why is it that Prince Rui, like Xiyao, also likes to act as a matchmaker for others?
Could it be that this kind of thing is also hereditary?
Huo Jing glanced at Shen Qionghua, lowered his eyes, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is very busy with affairs of state. How can I trouble Your Majesty with my marriage..."
"Oh, so you have a girl you like?" Xie Nanyuan stared at Huo Jing intently and said, "Why don't you tell me about it? Let me see whose family she is from."
"If I can help, I will!"
Huo Jing remained silent.
Xie Nanyuan asked, "Why? Master Huo, is it inconvenient for you to tell me?"
Shen Qionghua frowned, feeling that Prince Rui's move was a bit too aggressive, "Your Highness..."
"I'm asking about him, why are you so anxious?" Xie Nanyuan said quietly, looking at Shen Qionghua like a resentful husband.
Shen Qionghua choked.
Xie Nanyuan looked at Huo Jing again and said word by word, "Or... is it that Mr. Huo is attracted to someone else's woman?"
As he spoke, his gaze returned to Shen Qionghua, his pupils deep.
Shen Qionghua's heart skipped a beat, and she felt as if she was being stared at by a tiger.
Why did she feel that Prince Rui knew that Huo Jing had proposed to her?
But this shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't she and Huo Jing be the only two parties who know about this matter?
Shen Qionghua told herself not to be afraid. Prince Rui was not Prince An, so it didn't matter if he knew, and it wouldn't ruin her reputation.
She secretly looked up at Xie Nanyuan, and happened to meet Xie Nanyuan's extremely aggressive eyes, as if he wanted to swallow her into his stomach.
This look...
Thinking of what Xie Nanyuan had just said about "someone else's woman" and his tone of accusation, Shen Qionghua's heart was beating like a drum, and an extremely absurd idea emerged in her mind.
Because it was too absurd, Shen Qionghua subconsciously shook her head and denied it in her heart.
She must have been confused by all the recent accounting. How could she think that Prince Rui liked her?
In his previous life, Prince Rui never married or had children until his death. When he was dying, some palace maids climbed onto his bed and wanted to leave his bloodline, but he executed them.
How could such a person like her?
She must be hallucinating.
Correct.
definitely is!
Shen Qionghua clenched her palms, bit her lips lightly, and looked away.
The next moment, he felt that the oppressive gaze had disappeared, and Shen Qionghua breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Nanyuan pursed his thin lips. He couldn't remain calm whenever he thought that if he hadn't overheard Ping Ning's words, he might not have known that Shen Qionghua was getting married until the day of her wedding.
He glanced at Huo Jing, "Why? Is this question of mine difficult to answer?"
"Could it be that what I said is right?"
"Master Huo has taken a fancy to another woman?"
At this critical moment, a bright yet somewhat childish voice rang out:
"Sister, Mr. Huo, I'm done practicing!"
