Chapter 187 Madam Zheng should not be spared
After hearing the conversation with his own ears and seeing with his own eyes that the prince and princess were as loving as an ordinary young couple, Xi Zhong completely put aside his worries.
"Yes, yes, I will report the truth to my master when I return."
It is a great honor to be called "Uncle Zhong" by the prince, and this is definitely for the sake of the princess's face.
"Okay, then Uncle Zhong, please go down and rest. The princess and I still have something to talk about."
Hearing this, Xi Zhong retreated very tactfully, and Baozhu and Yuzhu followed him. Xiao Ji naturally took Qingwu's hand and returned to sit behind the screen.
The two of them continued their conversation naturally. Qing Wu scolded Xiao Ji, "You started talking without even checking to see if there was anyone else around..."
Xiao Ji naturally didn't take this blame seriously and said with a smile: "What's the big deal? Isn't this exactly what we want?"
Let Xi Zhong see how close they are, and report to Xi Jianan when he returns, so that Xi Jianan can make preparations and choices early.
"You are quite smart." Qing Wu hummed a few times and didn't really take this matter to heart. When her eyes fell, she thought of Xi Qingtong.
Regarding the exchange, she said that she was not worthy of the position, etc. This was all within Qingwu's expectations, but Qingwu really didn't expect that Xi Qingtong would actually confuse right and wrong about the reason for the exchange. This was simply shameless!
"...Then Xi Qingtong said that it was because of Song Yunhe..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ji interrupted him, "I know, no need to explain."
He didn't want to hear his ex-husband's name from his princess' mouth again. The relationship between the four of them was complicated, so Xiao Ji could only define Song Yunhe as his ex-husband.
But the girl didn't give up because of this sentence. Qingwu still wanted to explain to avoid any misunderstandings. "You heard me say that there are big loopholes in her words..."
"Because with your personality, if you really knew that Song Yunhe had someone else in her heart, your first thought would definitely be divorce. Why would you want to swap husbands with her?"
Xiao Ji laughed at himself, "Following me at that time, your life will never be more comfortable than your life back in the Xi family."
The young man had a smile on his face, but how could Qingwu not understand the sadness in that smile?
Even if what he said was true, Qing Wu didn't want him to be so self-deprecating, so she threw herself into his arms, looked up at him and said with a smile: "No, if I go home, how can I get the 100,000 taels of silver?"
She pretended to be a money-grubber, and her already beautiful eyes sparkled as if filled with stars. Looking at the girl in his arms who was deliberately trying to make her happy, Xiao Ji's heart softened.
That's it. It was because she always comforted him when she needed comfort that he was so touched and then gave his heart to her uncontrollably.
Obviously, she should be the saddest one at this time.
"Silly Qingqing, you..."
Xiao Ji's emotions were no longer able to be expressed in words. He moved his throat and could only press her into his arms. His chin touched the smooth forehead, and he couldn't help rubbing it.
Qingwu, who was tightly embraced in his arms, finally showed a trace of hurt at this moment. Even though she already knew Xi Qingtong's character and even though they were already enemies, she still didn't expect that a person could be so evil.
Qingwu knew that she shouldn't be entangled and sad about this anymore, but Xi Qingtong and she were twin sisters after all, and the same blood flowed in their veins. Logically, there should be no closer relationship in the world than this, and parents should also give in. But they were out-and-out enemies, and perhaps sometimes it was impossible to cut off ties and sort out the mess.
However, from the first time she felt sad, to later feeling indifferent towards her, and then to being betrayed, Qingwu went from crying to gradually calming down. After experiencing these things time and time again, she gradually stopped caring about it.
So this time, Qingwu closed her eyes, as if in silent mourning for the last bit of insignificant family affection. When she raised her eyes again, there was only disgust and hatred left in those beautiful eyes.
"I was too soft-hearted before and never thought about taking revenge on them, but today, my thoughts have changed."
Qing Wu stepped back slightly from Xiao Ji's arms, and his eyes, filled with strong emotions, seemed to be burning with flames.
"She never thought about me at all from the beginning to the end. How can she change whenever she wants? Does she really think I'm a pushover?"
Looking at Qingwu like this, Xiao Ji felt for no reason that she was more beautiful. The kind and gentle Qingqing gradually grew into a rose with thorns, which was undoubtedly a kind of growth.
"You are right to think so, Qingqing!"
Xiao Ji cheered Qing Wu up, and the next moment he saw those beautiful eyes staring straight at him, "I have a question, Liu Lang, why didn't you tell me that you already knew we had swapped?"
She approached him, lowering her voice, "You're keeping her hanging like this. What if she just thinks you're bewitched by me and tries to get herself killed later..."
Hearing this, Xiao Ji raised the corners of his lips slightly in a dangerous arc, "Qingqing, you said the word 'seeking death', don't you understand what I mean?"
"If Xi Qingtong can stop here, she can live in peace for a while before her father-in-law returns to Beijing. I can even spare her life in the future. If she chooses to continue courting death, then... let her die."
Qing Wu's heart skipped a beat when she saw Xiao Ji's undisguised murderous intent. She was stunned for a moment, but after a moment, she just let out a long sigh.
Although Xi Qingtong never "killed" her, every word he said was meant to "kill" her.
All this was because the young man in front of her was a good person, so this "killing situation" was averted. If he was a cold-hearted, suspicious, and self-destructive person, it would be hard to say what she would do now...
"Then...it depends on what she chooses."
Xiao Ji lowered his head and rested his forehead against Qing Wu's. He looked at the person in front of him and sighed softly, "You can't do it. It's okay. I'll do it."
Seeing that Qing Wu didn't say anything, he reached out and gently stroked Qing Wu's hair, whispering in a seductive tone: "Don't you want to see her scheme so hard, only to find out that she has already failed miserably in the end?"
Qing Wu couldn't help but imagine how Xi Qingtong tried so hard, only to find herself being treated like a monkey... She couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's really interesting..."
"But I can do it."
If I don’t do something, I’d be really sorry for my past self.
"Oh? How are you going to do it?"
Qing Wu's eyes turned, and he smiled, "She can no longer get through to you. Her greatest support is still the Xi family... You just need to tell Madam Zheng your attitude."
Madam Zheng wouldn't be afraid of what she said, but she would definitely be afraid of Prince Zhao. After being warned by Prince Zhao, would she still dare to protect Xi Qingtong as before and let her do whatever she wanted?
It just so happens that since Xi Qingtong suffered a setback, Mrs. Zheng shouldn't be spared either.
