She knew that Xiao Zhen really wanted her to go to Suzhou with him, but she hesitated and was so indecisive.
"Father, I'll stay with you..."
"If you leave the capital tomorrow, what will happen to your grandmother?" Xie Jingrun suddenly spoke, interrupting her.
Rong Qingqing frowned.
To be honest, the time was indeed a bit rushed, after all, she still had many things to deal with.
For example, Madam Rong, and her several shops...
She couldn't possibly go to Suzhou without informing Madam Rong.
Moreover, Madam Rong is getting old, and she is indeed a little worried.
Thinking about this made her even more conflicted.
Xiao Zhen glanced at Xie Jingrun. This kid really went to great lengths to get Qingqing to stay.
He paused for a moment before speaking, "There's plenty of time in the future. You should stay in the Prince Su's residence in the capital for now. I will come back to fetch you myself when I have time."
Just as Rong Qingqing was about to say something more, Xie Jingrun suddenly placed a contract of servitude in front of her.
"This is the contract of sale that Rong Shiqing signed when he married you off to the Xie family. I am now returning it to you. Xie Jingxuan has also informed the entire Xie family. From now on, you are free."
Rong Qingqing picked it up and glanced at it, feeling an overwhelming surge of excitement. From now on, she would be free, no longer Xie Tianlin's widow.
Xiao Zhen glanced at the contract of indenture in her hand, his eyes narrowing slightly. This contract of indenture reminded him of something.
Xie Jingrun looked at the girl's eyes and couldn't hide his joy, and his expression softened.
Rong Qingqing was indeed very happy. She had finally gotten rid of the title that made her feel stifled. If she hadn't retained a shred of rationality, she would have really wanted to scream.
"Qingqing, go and pack your things. I'll come back and take you to the Prince Su's residence in a little while." At this moment, Xiao Zhen stood up and said.
Rong Qingqing quickly stood up as well, "Father, are you going out?"
"Yes, I have something to take care of," Xiao Zhen said gently, stroking her hair.
"Oh, then Dad, be careful." Rong Qingqing didn't ask any more questions and said obediently.
"Okay." Xiao Zhen's heart felt like it was melting.
After seeing Xiao Zhen off, Rong Qingqing tore up her indenture and was about to return to Qinfang Garden to pack up when she saw Xie Jingrun still standing there.
She paused, then asked, "When are you moving to the East Palace?"
Xie Jingrun glanced at her and said, "Move today."
Rong Qingqing nodded. "Oh, then do as you please. I'll go back and pack up first." With that, she walked briskly back to Qinfang Garden.
Xie Jingrun watched her walk away before returning to Qingxing Garden.
After leaving the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence, Xiao Zhen went directly to the Rong residence with his men.
The doorman didn't recognize Xiao Zhen, but seeing his aggressive demeanor, he was clearly up to no good. Just as he was about to stop him, Rong Shiqing returned from outside.
As if he had found his pillar of support, he quickly went over and said, "Master, this man said he came to see you, this..."
Rong Shiqing looked over, and when he saw that it was Xiao Zhen, his expression became somewhat subtle. He stepped forward and said, "This humble official greets Your Highness."
Xiao Zhen didn't speak, but instead looked him up and down. "You're Rong Shiqing?"
Rong Shiqing nodded, "It is indeed your humble servant." He had already met Xiao Zhen at the morning court the day before yesterday, but the other party did not recognize him. "I was unaware of Your Highness's visit. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."
Xiao Zhen remained silent, his sharp eyes fixed coldly on him.
"When you harmed my daughter, did you ever think this day would come?"
"W-What do you mean?" Rong Shiqing felt a chill run down his spine, a bad premonition creeping over him.
