The news of the bachelor's daughter's broken engagement spread like wildfire, spreading throughout the streets and alleys and becoming a topic of conversation among people.
Originally, it would not have fermented so strongly, but after someone heard Fang Tianhe "spoke the truth after drinking" and hinted that Liu Man was immoral and had an affair with another man, and even exchanged tokens of love, it became more and more serious.
If there is a hot search in Beijing, the term #Su Man cheated# will immediately top the list.
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she couldn't eat or sleep, and many broken pens appeared in Mr. Liu's study. The entire Liu Mansion was shrouded in low pressure.
As Su Man was the central figure of the incident, the maids and servants in Biluo Garden didn't even dare to breathe, and only Si Xi dared to step forward to persuade her.
"Miss, I just like to talk nonsense about that. After a few days, no one will talk about it anymore."
"Really?"
Su Man glanced at Si Xi's smooth bun and said nothing.
Si Xi subconsciously touched her braid, then felt that her action was too deliberate, so she changed the subject and said, "Miss, what would you like to eat today? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it."
"I want to eat yam soup."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
“…”
After Si Xi left, Su Man called Liu Ma.
"Auntie Liu, go to the warehouse and see if there's anything missing, especially jewelry."
Aunt Liu took the order and went down. After a while, Aunt Liu came back and said, "Miss, there is nothing missing from the warehouse. Everything is here."
"Is there nothing missing?"
Su Man asked again, and after getting a positive answer, she rubbed her eyebrows and said, "I understand. You can go down."
"yes."
Su Man leaned on the soft couch, her eyes full of disappointment.
Although Fang Tianhe is a playboy, he is from a famous family after all, and he would not slander her for no reason.
What's more, he described it with details and even deliberately mentioned that she had exchanged tokens with someone else, so she must have seen something.
Su Man has always been careful not to let her things fall into the hands of others, but when she first met Si Xi, she gave her a hairpin as a reward.
Or the one Liu Man used to wear most often...
-
When Si Xi came back, he saw Su Man sleeping on the couch, so he carefully put the food box in his hand on the table.
"Miss?" she whispered.
Su Man didn't respond, it seemed that she was really asleep.
Si Xi gently covered her with a blanket. The next second, Su Man suddenly opened her eyes and said, "You're back."
"ah!"
Si Xi was startled. She let out a short cry and patted her chest with lingering fear, "Miss, you are not asleep yet."
Su Man stood up and said, "I took a nap for a while."
Si Xi thought that she had woken her up by covering her with a blanket. She took away the blanket and said, "It was my fault for being nosy."
"It's okay, you're just worried that I'll catch a cold."
Su Man stood up and smoothed her temples. "Go and make the arrangements. We'll go to the outskirts of Beijing tomorrow."
"tomorrow?"
Si Xi was a little surprised, "Isn't it too hasty?"
Su Man tilted her head to look at her, "Aren't you anxious to save your cousin?"
Si Xi was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Miss Xie, I'll go get ready now."
"Well, go ahead."
After watching Si Xi leave, the smile on Su Man's face disappeared completely.
Before, Si Xi had been anxious to find her cousin, but now she seemed unconcerned.
It couldn't be that she suddenly remembered how her cousin had offended her and didn't want to save him anymore.
With such a huge change, there is only one possibility: she already knows where her cousin is. As for the person who told her...
"Dong Dong Dong"
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, the Third Prince is here, and the Master wants you to go to the front hall."
Haha, it’s true that when you speak of Cao Cao, he appears.
"Got it. I'll go right away."
...
lobby
As soon as Su Man stepped over the threshold, she saw several boxes of things in the yard. Looking at the red silk tied on the boxes, it was not difficult to tell what this meant.
Scholar Liu was talking to Qi Xing. When he saw her come in, he raised his hand to her and said, "Man'er, come here."
Su Man stepped forward and saluted, "Father, the Third Prince."
Qi Xing was wearing a dark green gown today, looking very heroic. The moment he saw Su Man, he smiled and said, "I haven't seen Miss Liu for a long time. You have become more outstanding than ever."
Su Man bowed and said, "Third Prince, thank you for your compliment."
Qi Xing ignored her alienation, turned around and winked at the guard who handed him a palm-sized box.
He opened it with his own hands and explained, "This pearl was given to me by my mother, and today I present it to you, young lady."
“…”
The beads are round in shape, emit a faint fluorescence, and are priceless.
Su Man and Master Liu looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
This Dongzhu has always been used by the queen. Qi Xing's trip was to hint to them that if Su Man married him, she would become the queen in the future.
In the past, they still had room to refuse, but now, Su Man's engagement was broken off and she had become a laughing stock in the capital. Marrying the third prince was the best choice.
Moreover, ever since Qi Xing found the miracle doctor, the situation in the court has become clear. Seeing that Qi Xing will succeed to the throne, choosing to support him now can be said to be a worthwhile investment.
After thinking it through, Master Liu patted Su Man on the shoulder and asked in a questioning tone, "Man'er, do you like it?"
Su Man looked at Qi Xing. He was looking at her with a focused gaze, as if she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Time passed minute by minute, and as Su Man remained silent longer, Qi Xing's eyes became deeper.
