Chapter 188 The Banquet Ends

After Song Jiayuan left, Qin Xixi smacked her lips, still wanting more.

[Wow, this is such a hearty show! So good.]

It was so good that Xiao Xixi wanted to watch it again after watching it once! However, looking at the whole process, there was still one thing she couldn't understand.

[So how did Song Jiayuan know we were hiding here?] No

matter how calculating he was, he shouldn't be able to figure out who was hiding behind the stone, unless he was Sun Wukong, with flaming eyes and golden pupils!

Qin Qixuan also wanted to know this question, but unlike Xiao Xixi, he actually had some guesses.

Qin Qixuan put Qin Xixi behind the stone, and he stood where Song Jiayuan had stood before.

He just glanced in Xixi's direction and saw her looking to the side with a timid look.

Seeing this, Qin Qixuan couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that they would be discovered in this way in the end.

He didn't explain, but directly held little Xixi over and let her see for herself how poorly they hid just now.

"It seems that little Xixi's hide-and-seek skills are still not up to standard. Next time, you should carefully find a place where you won't be discovered to eavesdrop."

Qin Xixi pouted unconvinced when she heard this, and couldn't help complaining in her heart.

[This Song Jiayuan is really cunning. He just said that the eldest brother is cunning. Obviously, the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother! If a

normal person saw someone eavesdropping behind the stone, he would immediately come over to pull them out and ask them what they were doing hiding there! How could someone be like him, who, after discovering someone, remained calm and turned a blind eye, and waited until all the drama was over before finally exposing the culprit?

However, although Xiao Xixi was embarrassed and a little angry, she still felt that Song Jiayuan had done a good thing.

After all, if Su Xiaoxiao found out that they were hiding behind this place stealthily, she would probably understand their plan immediately and would definitely be more careful in the future.

If it was more serious, she might even complain to her second brother, causing conflicts between her second brother and the family.

This Song Jiayuan... is quite courageous. 】

Xiao Xixi couldn't help but sigh, thinking of some previous events.

【In the original book, Zhou Fangyu had hinted to him that he wanted to keep him as a backer, but Song Jiayuan was a different kind of firework from those fools. He did have his own backbone, and he was unwilling to be Zhou Fangyu's spare tire, and his final ending was not very good. 】

Xixi's words surprised Qin Qixuan.

But when he thought of the unpredictable but arrogant boy, he felt that it was not so surprising.

The two returned along the original route and saw Qin Shu strolling leisurely in the lotus garden, and there was no sign of the second brother around her.

It seemed that Su Xiaoxiao had persuaded the second brother to stay with her for a while.

It was just right that Su Xiaoxiao was not there, and Qin Qixuan took this opportunity to tell Qin Shu what they had just overheard.

"Su Xiaoxiao really did what her mother thought. She started to take action when she saw Song Jiayuan. But Song Jiayuan was very alert. He also flirted with Su Xiaoxiao on the surface. In the end, he called us out and discussed some conditions."

Qin Shu was also a little surprised, but she still listened to them quietly.

"Su Xiaoxiao didn't directly hook up with Song Jiayuan, but she was playing with Song Jiayuan, but she didn't disappoint the second brother and directly proposed to break up with him. In short, she is now coaxing both sides and wants to grasp both sides."

Qin Shu sneered after listening.

"She is good at planning and has great ambitions."

Obviously, Su Xiaoxiao already looked down on the second brother in her heart, and she was afraid that she couldn't hook up with others, so she wanted to play with both sides and take the benefits at the same time.

"It's good this way. We can play the long game and collect enough evidence to make Lao Er give up completely."

If Su Xiaoxiao had said goodbye to Lao Er on the spot, it would have saved Qin Shu's trouble, but Lao Er might still be obsessed with Su Xiaoxiao, and it would be bad for the two of them to be entangled.

When Su Xiaoxiao really gets close to Song Jiayuan, if Lao Er really wants to go back to the border, will Su Xiaoxiao continue to accompany him? How can someone who has a way out want to go back to the bitter cold land again? In

any case, this banquet helped Su Xiaoxiao and Song Jiayuan get in touch, achieving the effect that the princess and Qin Shu wanted.

After the banquet, it was not too late yet. Although Qin Shu was a little tired, she still called Qin Qixuan over.

"Qixuan, go and book a restaurant for your mother now, and make an appointment with General Helian tonight. You must pay back this meal. Otherwise, there will be trouble."

Helian Shi had just mentioned this matter at the banquet, and Qin Shu wanted to treat him to this meal in the evening. It seemed that Qin Shu didn't want to have anything to do with Helian Shi. Qin Qixuan hesitated.

"General Helian's intentions..."

Qin Shu waved her hand before Qin Qixuan finished speaking.

"The second brother told me before that he seemed to have some feelings for me, so this meal must be treated, and we must explain it to him clearly."

Explain what? Naturally, she would not have any close relationship with Helian Shi, and asked General Helian to stop wasting time on her.

To be honest, Qin Shu never felt that she was worthy of Helian Shi before, and never understood what Helian Shi saw in her. This time, she had to talk to him carefully, so as not to waste his precious time. Qin Qixuan

saw that Qin Shu was determined and felt a little sorry.

"Mother, why don't you think about it again? I think General Helian is a good person. Why don't you get in touch with him for a while and communicate with him more, just as if you get to know each other."

Qin Shu was a little surprised by Qin Qixuan's words. She didn't expect that Qin Qixuan would praise Helian Shi so much.

Now it seems that these children all think that Helian Shi is a good candidate for marriage. From the perspective of the children, Helian Shi is indeed very suitable. But Qin Shu still shook her head firmly.

"Don't say too much about impossible things. There are so many children in the Qin family, we can't change their surnames to others. What I want is to marry into the Qin family, but how can Helian Shi marry into our Qin family? The most suitable person for mother is an ordinary person who is not so outstanding but honest and decent."

Qin Qixuan choked for a moment when he heard this.

After all, he is not Helian Shi, so he cannot make decisions for Helian Shi. Moreover, Helian Shi is a mighty general. If others knew that he would condescend to marry into the family of the imperial merchant, even if his feelings are rare, he would probably be criticized.

Qin Shu has already experienced the feeling of being talked about by court officials, and does not want Helian Shi to feel it again.
