Su Xiaoxiao learned the entire incident from Fu Su.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at someone and narrowed her eyes dangerously. “So, you didn’t come back late last night because you went to the gambling den?”
Fu Su said, “It’s better than going to the brothel previously.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s face darkened. “You’ve been to a brothel?”
Fu Su decisively clarified, “I’ve never been there. Young Master and Yuchi Xiu went, right, Young Master?”
Wei Ting wanted to hammer him to death.
Su Xiaoxiao gave him a fierce look. She would settle the score with him when they got back!
Wei Ting felt he couldn’t clear his name.
He went to the brothel to kill people, not to sleep with women!
He looked at Fu Su with killing intent.
Fu Su felt a chill on his forehead and took a few steps back.
Su Xiaoxiao put aside the matter of a certain someone visiting a brothel and talked seriously. “It’s not like I didn’t gain anything today. At least it proves that Guo Huan is indeed a spy and a member of the White Lotus Society. I wonder if Prime Minister Guo knows. How many people are involved in the Guo family?”
Wei Ting pondered and said, “It’s hard to say. We have to investigate them one by one.”
Fu Su whispered, ‘Guo Huan alone is already very troublesome. How can it be easy to investigate the entire Guo family?”
That was true.
Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao said, “But why did Guo Huan pull the Wei family along? Did someone leak the news?”
Wei Ting said calmly, “It might not have been leaked. It might be that Gu Huan guessed something himself. After all, it’s difficult for such a persor not be suspicious.’
Su Xiaoxiao said, “If that’s the case, Guo Huan’s schemes are too unfathomable.”
Matriarch Wei and the others also went downstairs.
Guo Huan supported Matriarch Wei. The two of them chatted and laughed like they were biological grandmother and grandson, making it seem like Wei Ting had been picked up off the streets.
Old Madam Wei said, “We’ll return to the residence first.”
Guo Huan said respectfully, “I’ll send you back.”
Wei Ting stopped him. “Cousin, it’s rare for you to come out. Why don’t we go out for a walk?”
Old Madam Wei patted Guo Huan’s hand. “Alright, you brothers can catch up. Huan’er, keep an eye on him for me. Don’t let this kid cause trouble for me outside.’
Guo Huan paused and said with a smile, “Okay.”
Su Xiaoxiao and the others were originally going for a jaunt. As soon as they left the Full Moon Pavilion, they bumped into the carriage of the palace.
Princess Jingning walked down.
Princess Hui An got out of the carriage after her.
The two princesses had always been at odds. Today, not only were they sitting at the same table, but they were also riding in the same carriage. It was really unbelievable.
Lu Hui and the others greeted the two of them.
The two of them came to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Why are you guys out?”
Princess Jingning said calmly, “Someone was crying and clamoring to come out of the palace. Father was troubled by the commotion, so he asked me to bring her out.”
Princess Hui An had been kidnapped once. She was definitely not allowed to leave the palace on her own.
With Jingning around, Emperor Jing Xuan felt much more at ease.
Princess Hui An rolled her eyes. “Don’t you want to leave the palace yourself?”
Lu Hui and the others understood. So it was His Majesty’s decree. They knew it. The two princesses who were like fire and water had been getting too close recently.
“Where are you planning to go?” Princess Jingning asked.
“We’re planning to go for a jaunt,” Lu Hui said with a smile.
Princess Hui An curled her lips. “What’s so fun about walking? It’s so tiring.”
Lu Hui knew that Princess Jingning and Su Xiaoxiao were close; she wanted to invite Princess Jingning to go with them, so she said, “Miss Su is going too.”
Princess Hui An’s expression changed in a second and she muttered, “It’s not bad to stretch your muscles.”
Lu Hui said dignifiedly, “Let’s go for a walk first before accompanying Miss
Zheng to choose jewelry. Miss Zheng is getting married.”
“Who are you getting married to?” Princess Hui An asked.
She was a heartless and idiotic princess. Other people did not bring her along when they were infighting, so naturally, no one told her about the marriage alliance.
Princess Jingning knew.
She looked at Zheng Yunrou and said, “Your fiancé is Prime Minister Guo’s eldest grandson, right? Congratulations.”
Zheng Yunrou smiled shyly.
Lu Hui casually looked to the side and smiled. “Speak of the devil!” Wei Ting and Guo Huan walked over.
When Zheng Yunrou saw her fiancé, her heart raced again.
Before today, she was clearly resistant to this marriage.
However, just now, when Guo Huan held her and looked into her eyes, she was captured by the gentleness in his eyes.
Lu Hui teased, “Miss Zheng, don’t be shy.”
Zheng Yunrou’s face was so red that blood could almost drip out..
