Rong Qingqing collected her thoughts, turned around and saw Xie Jingrun, then remembered that he was still here.
Before the word "no" could be uttered, the man had already walked out.
She had no choice but to swallow her refusal and obediently followed him, leaving the front yard and heading towards the inner yard.
The two walked one after the other without saying a word.
When they arrived at the entrance of Qinfangyuan, Xie Jingrun stopped and turned around to look at her.
Rong Qingqing lagged a few steps behind. When she saw that she had arrived at the courtyard, she hurried a few steps. Just as she was about to enter the courtyard, she paused for a moment, then turned around.
Looking at the man's hazy face in the night, she was about to say something when he spoke first.
"Try not to go out these next two days. Stay in the mansion. If there is anything you need to do, just tell the servants to take care of it."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing was somewhat surprised, and vaguely felt that something big must be about to happen.
"Okay," she agreed.
"Okay, go in." Xie Jingrun urged, then turned and left.
Watching the man walk away, Rong Qingqing blurted out, "You should also be careful when you're out there."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrun paused, and a slight smile appeared on his beautiful lips.
"Hmm." He didn't turn around, but just responded in a low voice, and continued walking forward.
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
After realizing what had happened, I felt a little annoyed.
Rong Qingqing, you're getting more and more nosy.
When she got back inside, Xiao Tao had prepared hot water for her and was waiting for her.
Rong Qingqing took a quick bath and then went to bed.
Xiao Tao lowered the curtain, blew out the lamp, and then left.
Thinking about what Xiao Zhen said, Rong Qingqing suddenly found it hard to fall asleep.
When she first arrived, she dreamed of leaving, but now that the opportunity had finally come, she found that she wasn't as happy as she had imagined.
Could it be that she's gotten used to living in the Marquis's mansion and is now reluctant to leave?
After all, apart from Xie Jingrun's initial hostility towards her, life in the Marquis's mansion wasn't too troublesome.
Having lived here for several months, she had grown attached to the place, and the sudden decision to leave seemed to make her genuinely reluctant.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but criticize herself.
Humans are truly creatures that crave comfort.
If you stay in a comfortable environment for too long, you will forget your original intention.
She patted her face, forcing herself to fall asleep.
Since Xiao Zhen would be staying in the capital for a few more days anyway, she still had time to consider it.
At this time, in the Grand Minister's residence.
In the study, Situ Wuji stared at his subordinate and asked in a deep voice, "The information is correct, are you sure it's Xiao Zhen?"
"Yes, I am not mistaken, Prince Su has indeed returned," the subordinate said confidently.
Situ Wuji was puzzled by what he heard.
Xiao Zhen, who had been stationed in Suzhou for many years and had not returned to the capital for more than a decade, suddenly returned out of the blue.
Or is the emperor planning something?
"Continue the investigation and see if Xiao Zhen returned alone or with military forces," he ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes." The subordinate acknowledged the order and withdrew.
Situ Wuji stayed in the study for a long time. It would be best if Xiao Zhen returned to report on his duties, otherwise…
A murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
He then ensured that the person who came would never return.
The next day, at the crack of dawn, Situ Wuji's subordinate returned with news.
"I have found out that Prince Su only brought a few personal guards and no other military force. He stayed at the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence last night."
