Chapter 4 The Princess of Huainan

How could Nan Ling'er, a holy maiden of the Southern Frontier, be so fond of using love potions on people? She knows of several such cases.

Furthermore, she never expected that Nan Ling'er would ultimately die by the sword of Shen Huai, the bodyguard.

However, it's alright as long as Nan Ling'er is dead...

One month later,

That day, one of Shen Huai's friends (Song Qingxing) was in a bad mood. He patted Shen Huai on the shoulder and asked him to go to a brothel together.

Shen Huai: !!!

A brothel? Is he sure he doesn't want to harm him?

By the way, didn't he used to avoid going to brothels?

"Why do you suddenly want to go to a brothel?"

Song Qingxing sighed, "I had a fight with my wife and want to go to a brothel to calm down."

Shen Huai frowned and asked, "Calm your mind? Going to a brothel will calm your mind?"

Song Qingxing: "Of course."

"You haven't been there, of course you wouldn't know."

"Let me tell you, the girls in brothels are all gentle and kind, understanding and empathetic."

“They are not like my wife, who is a shrew who scolds me every day, doesn’t understand me, and doesn’t respect me.”

"However, my wife and I have been married for many years and we still have feelings for each other."

"I just went to a brothel to relax; I didn't plan to bring any women back with me..."

Shen Huai: "........."

He's already gone; what's the difference between that and bringing a woman back with him?

"When did you start going to brothels?"

How could he not know? If he had known, he wouldn't have come out for tea with him today.

Song Qingxing: "Last month, I had a fight with my wife and I died in a fit of anger."

His eyes lit up. "Let me tell you, once you've been there, you'll know what a paradise on earth is."

He looked at Shen Huai's serious and resistant face, and patted him on the shoulder. "Your Highness, don't worry, I know you love your wife. As long as we are careful, they won't find out."

Shen Huai: !!!

He slapped Song Qingxing's hand off her shoulder and took two steps back. "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place."

"I'm not going. You go by yourself."

He needs to stay away from Song Qingxing.

With a friend like Song Qingxing, he'll be led astray sooner or later. After all, one is influenced by one's company.

He certainly didn't want to part ways with his wife and become strangers...

Between his friend and his wife, he decisively chose his wife.

Song Qingxing stared into Shen Huai's eyes, trying to discern something. "You really aren't going?"

Shen Huai shook his head and said, "I'm not going."

Song Qingxing shrugged. "Alright then, since you're not going, I'll go by myself."

"By the way, if you want to go, just tell me and I'll go with you so you'll have company."

Shen Huai: !!!

There's no possibility of that; he's unlikely to go.

Since that day, Shen Huai has stayed away from Song Qingxing.

Song Qingxing also noticed this, because he couldn't get Shen Huai to agree to go out to dinner with him.

Just because he went to a brothel, Shen Huai distanced himself from him?

Shen Huai isn't his wife, so why is he distancing himself from her?

Shen Huai didn't want to go, and he didn't force him to go!

Less than a month later, Song Qingxing's wife discovered that he had been going to brothels and was demanding a divorce.

When Luo Xi heard about it, she remembered that Song Qingxing was Shen Huai's friend.

She went to the study to find Shen Huai.

Luo Xi stood in front of Shen Huai, "Song Qingxing went to a brothel to find girls, did you go?"

Shen Huai: "Xi Xi, I didn't go."

"Two months ago, he wanted to invite me to a brothel, but I refused outright."

"Ever since I found out he went to a brothel, I've stayed away from him. Lately, haven't you noticed that I haven't gone out with him whenever he asks me out?"
