Qin Yurong was stunned and felt sad.
The prince's attitude towards her has been really cold recently. He has been devoted to studying and would occasionally visit that bitch Liu Sisi, but he never takes the initiative to care about her!
She was clearly his wife! Yet, she was even worse than a concubine.
Qin Yurong bit her lip and reached out to grab the stone. "Husband, are you planning to give it to that bitch Liu Sisi?"
He Huaixuan's face suddenly turned cold, "What are you crazy about?"
"No, stop imagining all that nonsense and give the stone back to me."
Qin Yurong didn't believe it. She raised her hand and threw the stone directly into the pond.
"Are you crazy?!" He Huaixuan yelled and pushed her hard.
Qin Yurong almost fell to the ground and quickly held her stomach with her hands.
He looked up in disbelief: "You are the crazy one. You don't even want your own flesh and blood for a broken stone?"
Tears rolled down her face.
He Huaixuan frowned, impatience showing in his eyes.
"What happened?" Madam Li came over.
He Huaixuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Aunt, it's nothing serious. I was just accompanying Rong'er to relax. It was windy outside, so I wanted her to go back, but she didn't want to. We just had a few words."
He Huaixuan said lightly and gently took Qin Yurong's arm.
Li stared at them suspiciously. Qin Yurong twitched her lips dryly and said, "Yes, we're going back now. There's no need to worry about it, Aunt."
You can do whatever you want in private, but you can’t do it in front of others. It will only embarrass you and make you a laughing stock.
He Huaixuan glanced at the pond with a gloomy look. After all, he and the stone had no fate.
But when he thought that his father didn't have any either, he felt relieved.
Afraid that Li would notice something, He Huaixuan lowered his head and pulled Qin Yurong away.
Qin Yurong's mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear. She was in a good mood because she had lost the toy that the prince wanted to give to Liu Sisi.
After leaving Li's sight, He Huaixuan pushed her away, snorted coldly, and returned to his study.
Now he would rather stay in the study than stay with Qin Yurong.
Qin Yurong froze in place, tears welling up in her eyes. She angrily tore the handkerchief in her hand, wishing she could tear everything to pieces!
On the other side, it was already evening when Marquis Anguo returned to his mansion.
In the study.
He Zheng held the stone on the table in his hand, and his eyes gradually became colder.
At this moment, a figure in black emerged from the darkness and bowed, saying, "My Lord, the prince came into the study and took the stone off the desk. After a while, he put the stone back."
This is a secret guard hidden in the Marquis's mansion. He keeps an eye on the situation in the mansion and reports to Marquis Anguo if there is any unusual movement.
He Huaixuan's abnormal behavior naturally attracted the attention of the secret guards.
He Zheng said coldly: "That's not right."
Xi Feng was surprised: "Sir, what's wrong?"
He Zheng: "It feels wrong, this is not the same one as before."
Xi Feng and the secret guard were both stunned.
Can you detect this?
Xi Feng complained in his heart, unless the adults have rubbed the stone many times, they will be able to notice anything unusual as soon as they touch it.
My lord, please don't love me too much!
The secret guard said, "So the prince must have secretly replaced the stone. Why did he do that?"
The secret guard was deeply confused.
Xi Feng could guess it, and pointed it out in a bad tone: "The prince has impure intentions towards Miss Jiang."
Miss Jiang was originally the prince's fiancée, but later because the prince was too absurd, Miss Jiang temporarily remarried to the Marquis of Anguo.
It seems that the prince has not given up on his pursuit of Miss Jiang and even did something as despicable as replacing the stone.
He found a similar stone, thinking that his plan was perfect and he could hide the truth from everyone, but he didn't know that his every move was being monitored by the secret guards.
And Marquis Anguo had amazing perception, and he immediately knew that there was something wrong with the stone.
"Let him come to see me." He Zheng's voice was cold and ruthless.
The atmosphere in the open space outside the study was solemn and depressing, making people feel almost breathless.
He Huaixuan came over in fear, holding his breath, his back already covered in cold sweat.
Afraid, he is too afraid of his father!
Qin Yurong noticed that He Huaixuan's face looked a little strange, so she followed him over, feeling a little flustered.
"Where is the stone?" He Zheng asked without saying anything extra.
He Huaixuan's pupils trembled.
Dad found out!
But he still held on to a glimmer of hope and said stubbornly, "Father, what are you talking about? What stone? I don't know."
He Zheng glanced over and twitched his thin lips: "He Huaixuan, my patience is limited."
He Huaixuan's body trembled, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to meet He Zheng's eyes at all.
I'm afraid I'll be seen through at a glance.
At this time, Qin Yurong began to panic. She thought that the stone she threw into the pond should be the stone that Marquis Anguo wanted.
"Father, I didn't touch any stone. Perhaps someone has wronged me."
He Huaixuan refused to admit his mistake, thinking that his father had no evidence and could not do anything to him.
However, the next moment, Xi Feng said, "Your Highness is lying with your eyes open. The servants in the mansion saw it. You went into the study and took the stone from the table, then took another one that looked similar and put it back."
"Do you think you can get away with this?"
What? How could this happen?
There was clearly no one else there at that time, unless it was the spy that my father had planted in the house!
He Huaixuan's pupils trembled violently and his breathing became rapid. He knew that he could no longer hide it.
He failed.
It was due to carelessness.
"thump--"
He Huaixuan knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy: "Father, I was wrong. I was confused for a moment and took it away because I thought it was a good thing."
He Zheng just stared at him coldly and ignored his sophistry.
After a moment, he said indifferently, "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel for two hours."
He Huaixuan felt a lump in his throat and said in a daze, "My son obeys."
This was much better than he had expected. He had thought his father would punish him severely, but it seemed his father was unaware of his feelings for Jiang Qingyao.
Qin Yurong suddenly interrupted, "Father, it's just a broken stone, what's there to worry about?"
"Punishing my husband to kneel for two hours is too harsh!"
He Huaixuan looked at her like she was crazy. How dare she contradict her father?! Was she too proud of her life?
