Chapter 13 Raise your hand and knock on the door
Someone had reported Su Wanyan's every move to Ji Xiaohan in advance. When Su Wanyan sneaked around to avoid the night watchman and came to the side door of Prince Xiao's Mansion, Ji Xiaohan already knew about it.
I thought Su Wanyan would climb over the wall to come in, but who knew that she would look around, then raise her hand and knock on the door.
Three "knock knock knock" sounds almost made the secret guard guarding the tree fall down.
Why does their Princess Xiao always do things so unexpectedly?
She came to Prince Xiao's mansion late at night. Wasn't it to find the will as Su Hongan had instructed?
How could you knock on the door so loudly?
However, since she knocked on the door politely, they couldn't pretend not to hear it, so someone immediately ran to tell the prince the news.
Ji Xiaohan turned the pattern engraved on the dagger in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "She didn't climb over the wall, but knocked on the door?"
Xiao Er bowed, "Yes, Miss Su is standing at the side door openly, waiting for us to open the door."
"Interesting." Ji Xiaohan chuckled and ordered, "Have He Bo answer the door himself and invite Miss Su in to see what her purpose is for coming tonight."
Xiao Er took the order and left.
Soon, Su Wanyan was invited by He Bo to the side hall of Prince Xiao's mansion used to entertain distinguished guests. He Bo personally served tea to Su Wanyan, "Miss Su, please have some tea."
He Bo was a middle-aged man with dark skin. If he was not told that he was the steward of Prince Xiao's Mansion, anyone would have thought that he was some brave and warlike military leader in the barracks.
Su Wanyan felt that she and Prince Xiao's Mansion would be tied together in the future. If she wanted to gain the trust of everyone in the Xiao Mansion, she had to show some sincerity first. So, she smiled and said, "You're welcome, Uncle He. I came here late at night just to let you know in advance, so as to avoid any misunderstandings after I marry into the palace in a few days."
He Bo was stunned. He didn't expect Miss Su to speak so straightforwardly. He immediately bowed and said, "Miss Su, please speak."
Su Wanyan didn't mince words and told Su Hongan everything she had done and discussed that day. "...That's basically what happened. Uncle He, now that Prince Xiao is unconscious, you should be in charge of the affairs of the mansion, right?"
He Bo had already learned from the prince and the secret guards what Su Wanyan and Su Hongan talked about in the study today, but he did not expect that Miss Su would come in person in the evening to tell them about the matter. Such frankness made He Bo look up to Miss Su.
He Bo put away his polite smile and said seriously, "Miss Su, I didn't expect you to come here tonight because of this matter. This is related to the late emperor's will, and I dare not make a decision lightly. Please tell me clearly, Miss Su, what is the purpose of your visit this time..."
Su Wanyan smiled brightly, "My intention, of course, is to come here to help you act together!"
He Bo: “…”
Su Wanyan took a sip of tea and lowered her voice to ask, "Uncle He, there should be quite a few secret guards in Prince Xiao's mansion, right? Will our conversation get out?"
He Bo proudly assured, "Please rest assured, Miss Su, no one in the Xiao Palace will betray their master and defect to another place."
Su Wanyan was immediately relieved. "That's good. I came here tonight to do business with you. I promised my father to help find that will in exchange for 50,000 taels..."
