Chapter 391 Rumors

Qin Xixi asked the second brother to call Helian Shi.

[Hehe, the second brother is still quite reliable. Xixi asked him to call, and General Helian really came! ]

Little Xixi was very happy, but the most important thing was to match mother with Helian Shi!

Now mother should still be chatting with Fang Qinghong...

Xixi narrowed her big eyes, feeling a little unhappy.

[This Fang Qinghong, he is really haunting! Fortunately, mother has now understood Fang Qinghong's true face and will not be fooled by him again. ]

Anyway, Qin Shu is now too busy to come out to play with her, so Xixi looked at Helian Shi, blinking her eyes, very cute.

Qin Qiting looked at the interaction between Helian Shi and Qin Xixi, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he understood what Xixi wanted to do.

"General Helian, today is the Lantern Festival. I wonder if you are free to accompany my little sister to release river lanterns?"

Helian Shi heard this, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He has long wanted to play with Qin Xixi, but he just didn't have the opportunity. Now that Qin Qiting took the initiative to bring it up, he naturally wanted it.

"Of course I'm free! It's my honor to release river lanterns with little Xixi!" Helian Shi agreed without hesitation.

So the three of them went to the river together to release river lanterns. The night was like water, and the moonlight sprinkled on the river, sparkling. Qin Xixi held the river lantern in her hand, with an expectant light in her eyes.

[Yeah, the first time to release a lantern! 】

Helian Shi smiled as he watched Xiao Xixi put the flower lantern on the water, and took the remaining incense from Qin Qiting's hand. He gently lit the candle on the river lantern, and then carefully put the river lantern into the river. The river lantern slowly drifted away with the water flow, as if carrying people's wishes to the distance.

Seeing this, Qin Xixi couldn't wait to pick up her own river lantern and put it into the river. She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and made a wish devoutly.

[I hope I can grow up earlier. ] Qin Xixi muttered in her heart.

"Grow up, grow up, grow up!"

Helian Shi heard Qin Xixi's whispering, and couldn't help laughing. He smiled and touched Xixi's head.

"Xixi, don't worry, time will pass quickly. Come, let's go buy something you like."

Xixi's eyes lit up after hearing this. She watched the lanterns gradually fade away, happily took Helian Shi's hand, and the two walked towards the bustling market together.

The market was bustling with people coming and going, and all kinds of stalls were dazzling. Helian Shi took Xixi through the crowd and helped her pick out all kinds of interesting gadgets. Xixi sometimes picked up a cute doll, and sometimes was attracted by a string of crystal clear candied haws. Her face was always filled with a happy smile.

Just as they were immersed in the joy of shopping, a whisper drifted into their ears.

Xixi curiously turned her head to the side, trying to hear what those people were saying. Only one of them could be heard whispering.

"Have you heard? Qin Qixuan and Zhao Shuo'er are having an affair, this is really big news!"

Xixi's heart sank suddenly, and Helian Shi also frowned, obviously surprised by the news.

"It seems that the two of them..."

"Oh my god, so explosive?"

Listening to the rumors getting more and more outrageous, the faces of little Xixi and Helian Shi became very ugly.

Helian Shi was worried that Xixi was still young and couldn't listen to these, so he quickly took her away.

When little Xixi heard these words, she was furious at first, but she changed her mind and figured it all out in an instant.

These rumors are definitely not groundless.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that Qin Qixuan and Zhao Shuoer really have something going on, but these rumors were probably spread by Zhao Shuoer in the first place.

After thinking about it, this matter will only benefit Zhao Shuoer. Only she would go to great lengths to marry Qin Qixuan.

When Qin Xixi thought of this, her originally angry emotions became a little complicated. She didn’t know whether she felt sorry for her brother or admired Zhao Shuoer.

[I have to say, Zhao Shuoer is really affectionate.]

If this gets passed on, her reputation will be ruined. If Qin Qixuan still refuses to marry Zhao Shuoer in the future, it will be a question whether Zhao Shuoer can find a good marriage.

However, with the power of the Jinnan Palace, there is no need for these.

[At this moment, I feel that Zhao Shuo'er and Zhao Zemo are really alike. ]

Both of them will show deep affection to a person, and most importantly, they want to get her/him at all costs, and even use methods that make the other party disgusted...

Xixi sighed.

Although Helian Shi didn't know the source of it, he also felt that something was wrong.

He knew Qin Qixuan, who had always been clean, and he also had Wen Yanya as his fiancée.

Now there are rumors about him and Zhao Shuo'er, there must be someone behind it.

Helian Shi thought he had seen a lot of secret conspiracies, so he would not let the rumors continue. However, he had just played with Xiao Xixi for a while and had to go back, so Helian Shi felt a little sorry.

"Xixi, we can't just sit back and watch these rumors." Helian Shi's voice was a bit serious. He looked down at Qin Xixi with worry in his eyes. "Your brother's reputation can't be ruined like this."

Qin Xixi raised her head and met Helian Shi's worried eyes. She nodded gently.

[That's right, my brother is going to marry Sister Wen. We still have to find a way to explain it clearly. We can't let Sister Wen suffer any grievances. 】

Helian Shi nodded, turned around and took Qin Xixi's hand, then looked back at Qin Qiting and motioned him to follow.

The three of them were silent all the way, each with his own thoughts in his heart. Although Qin Qiting didn't know what happened at the dinner that day, he could feel the strange atmosphere around him. He followed closely behind Helian Shi and Qin Xixi, but his heart was surging.

Back at the Qin Mansion, Qin Shu was sipping tea in the front hall. When she saw the three people coming back, she showed a gentle smile on her face.

When she saw Helian Shi, the expression on Qin Shu's face was stunned, but she smiled again in an instant.

"Why did you come back so soon? Did you buy anything interesting?"

Qin Xixi did not answer directly. Instead, she walked to Qin Shu and told her all the rumors she had just heard.

Qin Shu listened to Xiao Xixi's inner voice, and her face became more and more ugly as Qin Xixi spoke. She held the teacup in her hand tightly, making a "creaking" sound.

"This Zhao Shuoer is really too much! She doesn't care about her own reputation and is so determined to marry Qixuan?" Qin Shu was furious. She stood up with anger flashing in her eyes.

"But in order to marry Qixuan, she didn't even hesitate to ruin his reputation. It's really shameless!"
