Xiao Qing Qing didn't care that Ri-er would wait for her to return everyday. She just pushed open the door and entered. "Ri-er, why are you not opening the door today to wait for me …"

Her words came out of her mouth as her gaze trembled fiercely. "Why is it you?"

Su Qianhan was sitting there with a teacup in her hand. She did not even look in their direction once she entered the room. She only sneered and said, "I had thought that you would ask about the safety of your little maid first."

"You won't hurt her." Xiao Qing thought about it for a moment. Then, she took a step forward and closed the door. "Why are you looking for me?"

Su Qian Han did not answer her last question, but he was interested in the first answer, "Oh? Are you so sure that This King won't kill her? You think This King does not have the ability to do so? "

"In terms of strength, I'm afraid I'm slightly below you by two points." Xiao Qing Ran's tone was indifferent, not like she was discussing her inferiority to her opponent, but purely narrating a certain fact: "Even though you are a cold and ruthless person, but you have a very strong principle. If you don't provoke someone, you won't easily kill them, not to mention that killing Li Er would not benefit you."

'Could it be that the girl was knocked unconscious or befuddled? '

"Heh, you do know This King very well." There was no mockery in his words, just praise.

However, when Xiao Qing heard this praise, she felt that it was a bit strange. She glanced at him and frowned, "Just what are you doing here?"

Su Qian Han turned the teacup in his hand and placed it on the table, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation for what happened last time?"

Xiao Qing was stunned and the corner of her eyebrows twitched violently. "You came all the way here in the middle of the night just to wait for an explanation?"

Had the workload of this man become so little ever since he became the crown prince?

Su Qianhan pursed his lips, a strange look flashing across his dark eyes: "I heard that Seshu agreed to let your mother's tablet enter the ancestral hall half a month later?"

Xiao Qing Qing frowned slightly with some doubt.

Su Qian Xing was not surprised that he knew of this. After all, the man had been keeping an eye on the general's manor.

Since when did this man know so much about the matters of other families? Could it be that he was also monitoring him?

"Although Su Qianxing has benefited from the imperial court this time, the matter of the dark booklet has come to an end. Your highness doesn't seem to want to do anything with it, so it becomes useless and doesn't let me handle it. The higher you stand, the more painful it will be, and I will not forget my own words."

Her gaze was fixed on him as if she was trying to negotiate: "Moreover, the matter has already occurred. It seems that Prince has not come looking for trouble these past few days and has not placed this matter in his eyes. There's no need to come looking for trouble today."

Just as she had said, her martial arts and inner force was below this man's. However, this did not mean that she did not have the strength to fight him.

If this man really wanted to make a move, she wasn't afraid.

Su Qian Han frowned, knowing that she had misunderstood. He was not used to explaining, but at the same time he was annoyed. "Woman, are you purposely trying to anger me?"

He really didn't know why she always sounded so hostile and wary when she was talking to him. Wasn't she supposed to be a little girl in front of Su Qianxing?

It was as though … It was just like that night when she had been tricked and pulled at the corner of her clothes.

Su Qianhan thought of something and clenched his fist before slowly opening it again, "This king came here to ask you to do something for me."

Xiao Qingran had yet to recover from the cold words he had spoken when she suddenly heard his next sentence. Instinctively, she retorted: "What is it?"

When these three words came out of her mouth, she regretted it once again. She clearly said that she wouldn't have anything to do with this man anymore.

"By helping This King with this matter, you will not regret it." Su Qian Han immediately said before she could find an excuse, "Do you still remember the woman who protected Xiao Xi Yu at the Flower Lamp? "Help This King deal with her. As usual, This King promises you a condition for free."

"Flower Boat Lantern Association?" Xiao Qing racked her brain and finally a picture of a face appeared in her mind: "You're talking about Yun Ya?"

Just that close friend of Xiao Xi Yu?

Su Qianhan frowned and said uncertainly, "I think so."

The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched, "Seems like?"

Was this man teasing her? He came here specifically to ask me to help him, but I don't even know who he is?

"This King can't remember the names of those people." Su Qianhan was slightly unhappy.

Xiao Qing Ran sighed inwardly as she muttered in a low voice, "Didn't you clearly remember Xiao Xi Yu's name?"

Su Qianhan squinted his eyes dangerously, "What did you say?"

"No, nothing." Xiao Qing Ran massaged her temples with a slight headache: "Don't tell me that the prince said to get rid of her in order to kill her? "I won't do this kind of business with blood on my hands for no reason at all. My lord, there are quite a few capable people under your command, so no matter what happens, I still won't be the one to act, right?"

What's more, she didn't remember what deep grudge that woman had with him?

Her question stunned Su Qianhan. A surprised look flashed across his eyes but he remained calm. "You don't know?"

Xiao Qingyi was confused: "Know about what?"

Su Qian Han didn't reply, but looked her up and down with a strange look, then suddenly thought of something. His eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "You are not just talented, go investigate it yourself. This King wants you to settle this matter as soon as possible, during the month."

As he spoke, he flung his sleeves and stood up. He lifted his foot and started to walk out.

Xiao Qing Ran stood on the spot and glared: "Hey, I still don't agree! What are you talking about? force to buy, force to sell... Hey! Su Qian Han, you damned man, listen carefully! "

"Bastard!" Xiao Qing watched as the man disappeared into the night. She angrily punched the table, clenched her teeth, turned around and kicked her shoes back onto the bed.

Forget it, she was tired today. Whatever it was, she would talk about it tomorrow.

Now that Xiao Qing's sleep quality was not good, and because someone stayed up very late at night, she was naturally confined to her bed the next day.

It was rare for Riko not to knock on the door as well. It wasn't until late in the morning when she finally woke up naturally that she came rushing in, carrying her toiletries.

"Miss, I'm really sorry. I didn't sleep very well last night, so I woke up late today." Rie stood beside him with a towel in her hand. She was somewhat apologetic.

Xiao Qinglan threw herself at him and took the towel to wipe his face: "It's nothing. You must be tired these days."

"Maybe …"

It must be because she was too tired. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had such a strange dream where a mysterious person knocked her unconscious behind her back. It was really strange.

Riko shook her head as she tidied up her toiletries in a naturally optimistic manner. "I've prepared something for Miss to eat on a daily basis. I even made sweet and sour fish while it's still noon."

Xiao Qingyi knew that this dish was probably due to her 'guilt' towards being late and happily accepted it.

"Yep, Li Er's cooking skills are getting better and better." After picking up the chopsticks, Xiao Qing praised him.

"As long as Miss likes it."

"By the way, have you heard anything new in the last two days?" Xiao Qingran thought of what the man had said yesterday and decided to ask first.

"In the next two days?" "What aspects does Miss refer to?"

Xiao Qingran raised a hand to support her face as she pondered: "Anyone in the imperial court or in the house of the ministers and princes, as long as they are related to the Residence of Duke Han, please tell me."

That man had always had a purpose in doing things. He couldn't go against a minister's daughter for no reason.

However, she did not say much as she replied seriously, "I did not go out for the past two days and have only come in contact with the servant girls in the mansion. However, I did not hear anything from them. If Miss needs anything, I'll go ask them."

"Mm. The more careful, the better."

Perhaps it was just an illusion, but she always felt that Su Qianhan had a reason for looking for her, and perhaps this matter had something to do with her.

"Alright." Riko nodded before saying, "There's still one more matter that I heard yesterday that the fourth lady will be back soon."

The chopsticks in Xiao Qing's hand suddenly stopped. "Xiao Yan?"

"That's right. Fourth Miss came to clean up because of her body. It's been so many years and she's already reached the age where she should get married. It's fine for her to come back, but she rushed this time a little …"

Riko turned her head while carrying the basin. "The day when Madam will be inducted into the family tree is near. Yesterday, Third Madame came to our side to stir up trouble. If Fourth Miss also returns this time, we'll be very busy."

Although the current general's wife was already off the stage, her influence in the mansion was not something that could be destroyed in a single move. Moreover, with such a large event, the new wife of the Zhao Family would definitely return.

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter. It's just a matter of how we handle the situation, so you should first take care of the things that I've arranged for you." In regards to this, Xiao Qingyi did not care too much about it.

Riko knew that her young miss had no interest in the internal strife between these women, so she could only be careful on her master's behalf. Nodding, she replied, "Yes."

"Also, let's go over to Liu Suifeng's side for the next two days and ask him out at a suitable time."

As long as Su Qianhan could not understand the poison in her body, she would not be able to rest at ease.

She still hadn't solved the 'enlightenment' she got from Elder Yuan. These days, everything had been thrown into disorder, and she should do something while she was busy thinking.

"Then I'll go and pass on the message in the afternoon. The young miss will rest for today, and he'll be out tomorrow." Where does Miss plan to meet him? "

Xiao Qing then pursed her lips, "Flower Pavilion."

There was one more thing she wanted to ask the flowers about.

"Yes."

When Ri-er went out to do some work, Xiao Qing had originally thought that she would have a good rest in the afternoon, but it was useless as the others had not given her this opportunity.

Fourth Miss, who had been cultivating outside for so many years, came back that afternoon.
