"He hasn't done anything since he went to the general's estate?"

Su Qianxing sat in the seat of honor with a cup of tea by his side on the table.

One of them half knelt on the ground and lowered his head. "The one who was on fire tried to force Third Miss to bring her back to the manor, but Third Miss didn't comply with his harsh words. The other one locked himself in his study and didn't come out until now."

Su Qianxing frowned slightly, "It is normal for him to not listen to what he says, but why is Su Qianhan …" What did she say? "

That person's tone was a little strange as he said, "Third young mistress said that he is the only one who is superior to me. She even said that she hates him."

It was no wonder that a woman who dared to speak to Duke Han in such a manner had been trusted by her master for so many years.

Su Qian Xing's finger trembled. Unexpectedly, he was not happy because of their misunderstanding. On the contrary, he had a bad expression, "Did she really say that?"

"Yes."

The people in the audience were puzzled.

[Didn't Master want those two to be incompatible?]

Why does it seem like Master isn't happy to have achieved his goal?

This was not the first time Su Qianxing had met the two of them, especially Su Qianhan. He understood Su Qianhan too well; that man had always acted as he pleased and had never cared about the opinions of others. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been criticized for his actions so often.

Su Qian Xing didn't know why, but the thought of it made his throat feel as painful as a fly.

He had used a chess piece, so no one else was allowed to use it a second time!

"But that's fine too."

He sneered, his normally gentle eyes exuding a trace of hostility, "Su Qianhan, after so many years, I still haven't been able to find a fatal weakness in you, am I right?"

Humans were afraid of weaknesses. Once they had a weak point, they wouldn't be too far away from death.

"Our King Han has never cared about anything, but he is a royal and cannot lose face for the imperial family."

Su Qianxing twirled his fingers, regaining his usual gentleness. He pursed his lips and said, "Go and send a message to Father, tactfully tell him about Second Imperial Brother's rampage at the General's Mansion."

I want to see how far you can take care of her.

"Yes."

"Within the palace." "Nonsense, this is too ridiculous!"

He sat on the ground, trembling with anger. Gao Tang stood at the side with his head lowered, waiting on him.

"Tell me, what exactly do you think he is thinking? "As a prince, you actually caused a ruckus in an official's residence. It's fortunate that this matter was not spread out; otherwise, where would our old reputation go?!"

He slapped the table and panted furiously, "And that Xiao Qing Ran! As my daughter, she doesn't know how to behave! She made things difficult for us last time when we were stuck between two princes!"

Gao Tang laughed along with him. "Your Majesty needn't be so angry. The second prince is still young, so His Majesty knows his temperament. If any of the princes have done anything wrong, Your Majesty, just teach them a lesson. Don't be so angry!"

"Don't be angry? "I think he just wants to piss me off!"

The more Su He spoke, the angrier he got. "Small? He had been an adult for many years. How was he young to be married? If it wasn't for Zhen agreeing to his mother's request that year …

However, that light quickly dissipated and turned into a breath of air that scattered to the other person, "Let's not talk about Han'er for now, I naturally have to properly discipline my son, but that Xiao Qing is not someone who is easy to deal with. Go draw a line and send her out early, and it will also save me the trouble!"

Previously, the empress had suggested that they should grant her marriage, so that the two princes would not argue and she wouldn't listen to his words. Now, it seemed that she should have settled this matter a long time ago.

Gao Tang's eyes flashed as he spoke up for Xiao Qing Qing: "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too hasty? Didn't you just give the young master of the Han estate a marriage? "This …"

"What is it? As the emperor, I don't even have the authority to grant a marriage? "

Sangua's face was somewhat ugly to behold.

"Of course you have the words of Your Majesty. This servant will go right now."

Gao Tang bowed and left the room, then inadvertently gave a look to the young eunuch on duty.

The eunuch knocked on the door and left to deliver the message to the Residence of Duke Han.

Xiao Qing Qing ended the matters of the manor with the rest of the time. Riko helped choose a suitable gift to represent the general as she personally sent it out. There was nothing amiss with the etiquette at all.

She attended the wedding ceremony. Although the bride was covered by a veil and her face could not be seen, but looking at every action of hers, it was obvious that she was a young miss from a rich family.

After congratulating the family members of the family, Xiao Qingran sat down to eat alone in an inconspicuous corner. She thought that this wedding banquet would be so boring, but on the way, she bumped into an interesting person.

Han Bing, in charge of Zhao Chen's case, suddenly appeared before her.

This person's words and actions were just like what he said in the outside world. He was meticulous in his speech and was polite, "This one is Han Bing. Third Miss greets you."

Xiao Qing Ran stood up and returned the greeting slightly. "I've heard a lot about Sir Han's name."

"I won't say any unnecessary words. Third Miss is a smart person, so you should know the reason why I'm looking for you."

He looked around and said in a deep voice, "However, there are too many people here. Third Young Miss, would you mind giving me some face and help me move to the large courtyard?"

Xiao Qing nodded her head in agreement. She first greeted Ri-er before following him into the courtyard. The two of them found a place to sit down with their backs facing the wind.

"Master, if you have something to say, feel free to say it."

"Then I, Han Li, will come straight to the point."

Han Bing did not decline and said directly, "Siming has already told me. His marriage was all thanks to Third Young Miss, and also the previous incident with Zhao Chen. I should have thanked Third Young Miss. If Third Young Miss did not obtain strong evidence, then King Han would definitely have been framed."

Xiao Qing Ran chuckled and said in a magnanimous manner, "Sir, there is no need to probe him. I am friends with Young Master Han, and do not intend to use him. Even Young Master Han himself is aware of his abilities.

"Besides, my lord, you know what's going on. Although the situation in the court is complicated, there are only three parties and three factions. My lord does not want to fight for the kingdom, I know that. "It's the same this time, I've only interfered because I didn't want to drag you down with me. As for Young Master Han, I've really valued his talent, but his future career will depend on him. I won't force him."

Her words were sincere without the slightest hint of falsehood.

Han Bing narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the falsity of her words before finally sighing in relief, "To be honest, Third Young Miss, I believe that I have read countless people, and that I have broken cases like a god. I have always treated people with a pair of sharp eyes, but I could not see through Third Young Miss's thoughts, but since Third Young Miss is so honest, then I cannot fail to recognize her good intentions.

"I have already seen through these so-called major events and I am not willing to mess with my mind because of them. Now, it seems that there should be some choice."

He clasped his fists and said, "As his cousin, I should be the one thanking you for what you said. However, other than that, there is another thing that I want to tell Third Young Miss."

"Sire, please speak."

"I have already seen Young Master Zhao's corpse. To tell the truth, I had suspected Duke Han from the beginning. It was only because I understood his character that I didn't immediately solve the case."

Han Bing knit his brows, and a serious look appeared in his eyes, "Now that I think about it, there's something fishy about it. That corpse's chest has a palm, and judging by the color and mark, the killer's inner strength is not something that can be cultivated for a few years. It should be on par with Han Wang, which is why I had my suspicions at that time."

These words caused Xiao Qing Qing's body to stiffen. She was extremely astonished.

Back then when he checked the corpse, he was unable to see the palm mark due to Su Qianhan's obstruction. Now that he heard Han Bing's explanation, he couldn't help but be surprised. He had been by Su Qianxing's side for so many years, but he didn't know there was actually such a capable person who was similar to Su Qianhan's inner force.

Could it be … Her pupils contracted as a chill ran from her feet all the way to her head.

How was this possible? This was definitely impossible! If it really was the case, how could he not feel anything? After all, they were … No, not exactly... Xiao Qing's mind went over everything that had happened in the past few days. From discovering his true nature to him secretly doing all sorts of things to conceal himself and even the poisonous people behind it … She clenched her fists, her mind a mess.

She had never known Su Qian Xing before, and she had known about this from a long time ago.

"Third Miss? Third Miss? "

Han Bing frowned and called out to her.

Only then did Xiao Qing finally come back to her senses, but her mind was still in a mess: "Yes, go ahead."

"Is Third Miss alright?"

Han Bing narrowed her eyes, deep in thought.

"No …." "It's fine."

Xiao Qingran suppressed herself and took a deep breath, trying her best to remain calm on the surface: "I know what you said just now, but I don't have any clues for now. If there is anything else, I will definitely inform you."

"In that case, I shall thank you first."

Han Bing stood up and said, "It's about time, it's not good for us to leave our seats for so long, let's go back first."

"Alright."

Xiao Qingran nodded and followed him back to the dining room. However, she seemed to be in a trance as she thought about something. She felt that she couldn't focus her thoughts at all, and the two men's faces kept appearing in her mind again and again.

It was not long after they finished waiting and just as they returned to the manor to sit down, Riko heard from outside that something had happened to Su Qianhan.
