Chapter 120: You didn’t tell Xu Guanghai about this chapter, did you?
When Qin Yuechuan entered the front hall, Xu Yuanshan had been waiting for a long time.
He had a solemn expression on his face and sat there with his hands sternly, and even though the teacup beside him was no longer hot, he had not moved it at all.
I think he must be angry.
Seeing Xu Mingxi sitting beside him with his head down, Qin Yuechuan's eyes darkened.
He said directly: "Uncle Xu, thank you for waiting for me. I am late because of something. Please don't blame me."
Although Xu Yuanshan was angry, seeing how polite he was, he did not dare to be ignorant of the limits. He was really arrogant and still replied respectfully:
"Your Highness Prince Rong, that's not right. I am grateful for your hospitality and would not dare to blame you."
Qin Yuechuan sat down and asked Xu Mingxi, "Why did Miss Xu come here?"
Polite and distant, aloof and self-contained.
Xu Mingxi bowed and saluted, and said in a gentle voice: "I heard that my sister was here today, so I came to visit her. I hope Prince Rong will allow it."
Xu Yuanshan said, "Prince Rong, you came here because Second Miss Xu told me that Yueyue might have been in trouble, so you came with me to visit her."
Qin Yuechuan glanced at Xu Mingxi without answering.
So that's how it is. No wonder he had already told Xu Yuanshan yesterday that he would send Yueyue back today, but he still came here in person. It was because of her!
Xu Mingxi lowered his head and never looked up, but he could still feel Qin Yuechuan's cold gaze on him.
Because her skirt hid the slight trembling of her legs, it was not noticeable.
The reason she came here on her own initiative was to get rid of suspicion. Generally speaking, the murderer would not take the initiative to ask for a visit, so this should be able to dispel Qin Yuechuan's doubts. Secondly, she really wanted to know how Xu Xinyue was doing now and whether her plan was successful or not.
She thought she was smart, but Qin Yuechuan saw through her little thoughts clearly. He looked at Xu Mingxi, and became more and more annoyed, and more and more certain of his guess.
At this time, he happened to have something to say to Xu Yuanshan alone, so he called Qingyang over and said, "Take Miss Xu down and treat her properly."
Deliberately emphasize the last four words.
Qingyang understood and led Xu Mingxi downstairs.
He and Xu Yuanshan were the only ones left in the hall.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Xu Yuanshan stood up, ready to lift his robe and kneel, begging: "Your Highness Prince Rong, please forgive me for offending you. I have something to say today, and I hope you will allow me to do so."
Qin Yuechuan had anticipated what he would do since he stood up.
His strength was so great that he stopped Xu Yuanshan from kneeling down and said solemnly, "Uncle Xu, if you have anything to say, you can just speak directly. There is no need to do this."
"Since the prince calls me Uncle Xu, I will beg you to spare my son Yueyue."
Qin Yuechuan frowned. How could he let go of Yueyue?
"Since Uncle Xu said so, I won't beat around the bush. I want to marry Yueyue to you. I will ask you to marry me with three letters and six ceremonies, and make you my Princess Rong."
Even though Xu Yuanshan knew this, he was still surprised by Qin Yuechuan's directness. He originally thought that Qin Yuechuan would probably try to play him around, first by offering him the position of concubine to stabilize him, and then by promising him the position of principal wife in the future to force him to agree.
"Your Highness, Prince Rong, I have no official position, I only have a few plots of land, a few shops, a few grain teams... All these things are insignificant to Your Highness, and cannot be of any help to Your Highness!
Yueyue is the only daughter left by my late wife. I just hope she can live a happy and peaceful life and don’t want her to be involved in the royal struggle..."
"Uncle Xu, I am sincere and sincere in my intentions towards Yueyue. I am concerned about Yueyue as a person, not the benefits she can bring to me.
I will treat Yueyue sincerely, never lie or hide anything from her, and take good care of her. I hope Uncle Xu can give me this opportunity to prove it to you and Yueyue."
Xu Yuanshan had prepared a lot of speeches, but seeing him like this, thousands of words were stuck in his throat and he didn't know what to do.
However, it is unknown how true or false the royal oath is.
Xu Yuanshan still refused to nod. He was unwilling to take the risk, or rather, he did not want Yueyue to take the risk.
Xu Yuanshan's face flushed red, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally said:
"You didn't say these things to that old bastard Xu Guanghai, did you?"
He remembered that Qin Yuechuan had been engaged before!
Although it has been withdrawn now.
However, that is an indisputable fact.
Qin Yuechuan sighed and explained patiently: "To be honest, Uncle Xu, no.
Xu Guanghai was very happy to see it happen. He valued profit over love and wanted me to marry his daughter as soon as possible.
It is true that Uncle Xu loves his daughter as deeply as he does, and he truly cares about Yueyue’s happiness.”
"Well... that's true."
Xu Yuanshan felt comfortable with Qin Yuechuan's subtle flattery and felt somewhat complacent: "Yueyue is my only treasure. If I can use all my property and money to exchange for her safety and happiness, I am willing to do so."
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Xu Yuanshan cleared his throat and regained his solemn demeanor: "Having said that, I still won't agree to this matter for now."
Qin Yuechuan's eyes lit up.
At the moment? That is to say, it is possible.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, there was hope.
Qin Yuechuan said solemnly: "I will prove my determination to Uncle Xu."
“Since this is the case, let’s see King Rong’s sincerity.
As for Yueyue, since she is here, I will take her back..."
Qin Yuechuan was a little hesitant. To be honest, he did have selfish motives and was reluctant to let Xu Xinyue leave Prince Rong's Mansion.
"Yueyue, didn't you think that something bad happened to you, did you?" Xu Guanghai was a little anxious. He was about to go to the guest house where Xu Xinyue used to live.
Qin Yuechuan's eyebrows jumped. He knew where he was going. However, because of the urgency of the situation yesterday, he brought Xu Xinyue back to his own bedroom. If Xu Guanghai knew, he would be...
Thinking of this, Qin Yuechuan hurriedly stopped Xu Yuanshan and said seriously: "That's not the case. Yueyue did have a lot of fun in the palace last night and drank a few more glasses of fruit wine. She is still sleeping soundly and has not yet woken up from her hangover.
And even if you are a father, you can't just enter your daughter's boudoir at will."
When Xu Yuanshan heard this, he thought it made sense and was indeed true, so he stopped.
Qin Yuechuan continued, "When she wakes up, I will return her intact as I said yesterday. Don't worry, Uncle Xu. She has lived in Prince Rong's mansion for a long time before, so she won't be in any danger."
Qin Yuechuan had said this, so Xu Yuanshan had no choice but to agree and leave.
However, Qin Yuechuan did not relax for a moment, as he still had things to deal with.
Here, Xu Mingxi followed Qingyang around Prince Rong's mansion.
Qingyang knew Qin Yuechuan's thoughts best.
Qin Yuechuan would not let Xu Mingxi see Xu Xinyue and make her unhappy.
Qingyang led Xu Mingxi through the flower hall, walked along the corridor, crossed the stone bridge, and passed through the cave gate, but he did not take her to Qin Yuechuan's bedroom.
Xu Mingxi was a person who had started over. In her previous life, she had been the Princess of Rong for two years. She was already familiar with the layout of the Rong Palace and would not get lost even with her eyes closed. How could she not see that Qingyang was deliberately taking her in circles?
Unable to bear it any longer, he finally spoke up: "Guard Qingyang, how come I've walked across this stone bridge three times? I'm familiar with this place. Are all the places in Prince Rong's mansion the same?"
"Um... that's right. The prince doesn't like luxury and prefers natural simplicity. He should build more stone bridges with such natural charm..."
Xu Mingxi laughed angrily and pointed at a spot along the bridge and asked, "Really? Are the three stone bridges exactly the same, even with the bump marks and the location of the moss attached?"
“Woo…” Qingyang really bit his lip and was speechless, not knowing how to explain.
"Could it be that you are deliberately leading me around in circles and don't want me to see my sister?"
Qingyang complained in his heart: What else?
Just as he was thinking about how to evade the question, a cold voice rang out from behind him: "That's right."
Qingyang saluted as if he had seen a savior, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty!"
Qin Yuechuan allowed Qingyang to withdraw, and Qingyang was more than happy to do so, so he left.
Only Qin Yuechuan and Xu Mingxi were left standing opposite each other.
It is almost autumn, and the wind is a little chilly.
Not sure if it was because of Qin Yuechuan's gaze or the autumn wind, Xu Mingxi suddenly shuddered.
Xu Mingxi stood on the stone bridge and saw Qin Yuechuan walking towards her step by step with a cold face. He stopped when he was three steps away from her.
