Rong Qingqing wondered, when did Xie Jingrun become so polite?
If he wanted to see me, wouldn't he just climb through the window?
Why are they making such a big fuss about inviting her to the front hall? Are they planning to mess with her again?
She finished dressing and went out, glancing at Changlin suspiciously. "It's so late. Whatever it is, let's talk about it tomorrow. Go back and tell your master."
Changlin was immediately in a dilemma. The old lady's distrustful expression was so obvious that only a blind person could not see it.
Thinking of Prince Su who was still waiting, he said solemnly, "Actually, there is a distinguished guest who wants to see you. The Marquis wants you to go there as soon as possible so as not to keep him waiting."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing became suspicious, but seeing that Changlin didn't seem to be lying to her, she thought for a moment, went back to her room to get a cloak, put it on, and then followed Changlin to the front hall.
lobby.
Although Xie Jingrun didn't have a good impression of Xiao Zhen, he was still a guest, and most importantly, he was Rong Qingqing's biological father. So he could only suppress his temper and stay to have tea with him.
Although they were supposed to be accompanying each other, the two of them didn't exchange a single word after entering the front hall.
Xiao Zhen's mind was entirely focused on Rong Qingqing, so he had no interest in talking to him, while Xie Jingrun simply didn't want to talk to him.
The two stood on opposite sides, creating an awkward atmosphere.
When Rong Qingqing came in from outside, she saw the strange scene before her.
Two men with equally powerful auras each occupied a chair, their faces tense and silent.
Her doubts deepened, and she couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhen.
At first she didn't notice, but when her gaze fell on his face, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.
Isn't this the uncle I met on the street last night?
Although it was only a brief encounter, the other party had handsome and resolute features, a powerful aura, and an overwhelming sense of killing intent, making it almost impossible for her to forget him even if she wanted to.
When Xiao Zhen saw her come in, he suddenly stood up from his chair, his deep and kind eyes fixed on her. Seeing her standing by the door, he subconsciously took a step forward and stretched out his hand, "You..." The excitement on his face was palpable.
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing looked at Xie Jingrun suspiciously.
Seeing that she was still standing by the door, unwilling to come in, Xie Jingrun stood up and took the initiative to introduce her, "He is Prince Su." As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Zhen, but saw that the old man looked so excited that he was about to cry. He frowned and was somewhat displeased.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing looked at Xiao Zhen with surprise.
So he was Prince Su.
But wasn't he stationed in Suzhou? Why is he back?
The original book also mentions Prince Su.
Prince Xiao Zhen of Su was devoted solely to Suzhou and its people. He spent his life on the battlefield, never married, and never meddled in the factional struggles of the court. He was a true hero.
Even when the Third Prince and Xie Jingrun fought to the death, he never left Suzhou, let alone took sides with either.
But now, he's actually back.
Rong Qingqing was somewhat surprised.
Thinking about how he apologized to her that evening, she couldn't help but wonder if his visit was because of her mother.
Suppressing her doubts, she stepped forward and bowed to him, saying, "This humble woman greets Prince Su."
Xiao Zhen reached out and helped her up. His once sharp, hawk-like eyes were now filled with tenderness.
Rong Qingqing noticed it and was quite surprised.
In her view, someone like Prince Su could never be associated with the word "kindness".
But she felt that his attitude towards her now was completely different from what it had been like at night.
