Helian Sheng really didn't mind her attitude at all. He smiled and said, "Nothing much. I just came to see you... and General Duan."
Duan Hong looked confused. Look at him?
As Duan Shishi listened, she became more and more certain that the relationship between Helian Sheng and Duan Qingxi was unusual.
Come to think of it, if Helian Sheng hadn't rescued Duan Qingxi before, she would have died outside long ago!
The two of them were not clear about what kind of relationship they had, and it was hard to say whether they really had that kind of relationship in secret.
Duan Qingxi had a cold face. Although she didn't know what Helian Sheng was trying to do, based on his attitude, she was sure that he had no good intentions!
"Ninth Prince, you're joking. You are a prince after all. It is an honor for our General's Mansion to come and visit us in person. But I think the Ninth Prince shouldn't just come to visit me and my father, right?"
These words obviously carried a hint of threat, signaling Helian Sheng to behave normally, otherwise don't blame her for getting angry.
Helian Sheng naturally heard it, so he nodded and said, "I am indeed here for something. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to go to your courtyard to talk privately?"
Before Duan Qingxi could say anything, Duan Hong's face turned sour.
What does that mean?!
If there was something really important that needed to be discussed in private, he wouldn't have said it, and he even went to Duan Qingxi's yard!
His daughter doesn't care about her reputation!
But before Duan Hong could speak, Duan Sijin said coldly, "I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. Xi'er and the Fifth Prince are already engaged, and now the Ninth Prince is also engaged to Shishi. In name only, the Ninth Prince and Xi'er are uncle and sister-in-law. If they were to be alone together, I'm afraid it wouldn't be acceptable. Ninth Prince, if you have anything to say, please speak directly. If it's inconvenient, we can dismiss you."
After a pause, Duan Sijin looked at the housekeeper and said, "Housekeeper, take the servants down. Shishi, you can go back too."
The housekeeper left with the servants, but Duan Shishi looked unhappy.
What's the meaning?!
Why did they send the servants away and let her go with them?!
Did he treat her as a servant too? !
However, Duan Hong did not say anything. After all, Duan Shishi was a girl with no special identity and was not an official in the court. It was indeed not easy for her to stay here.
Seeing that she didn't leave, Duan Hong said again: "Shishi, you should go back first. If you want to spend time with the Ninth Prince later, you might as well wait until the Ninth Prince has dealt with the matter."
Duan Shishi was originally angry, but when she heard what Duan Hong said, her face turned pale.
Who... who wants to be alone with the Ninth Prince?
She quickly stood up and muttered, "Dad...I'm not feeling well. I'll rest in the yard. I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to accompany the Ninth Prince anymore."
Duan Hong didn't think too much about it. After hearing what she said, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Such a big thing happened this morning. If Duan Shishi hadn't been engaged to Helian Sheng, and Duan Hong hadn't been afraid that Helian Sheng would have noticed something fishy, he wouldn't have asked Duan Shishi to come out and accompany him.
After walking out of the main hall, Duan Shishi's footsteps were like the wind and she soon disappeared.
Helian Sheng didn't care about Duan Shishi, but his eyes were always on Duan Qingxi.
Duan Qingxi felt uncomfortable being stared at, and was also afraid that Duan Hong and Duan Sijin would see something fishy, so she said to Helian Sheng, "Ninth Prince, can you tell me now?"
In fact, Helian Sheng had nothing to say. He just wanted to find an opportunity to get along with Duan Qingxi openly.
Seeing that she was still resisting, he said, "Oh, I forgot. There's nothing to say."
Duan Qingxi: ...
After saying that, Helian Sheng stood up and left.
