Chapter 124 Qu Xiaowan's cold words
He Jingcheng was immediately furious. He stood up and glared at Qu Xiaowan.
"Qu Xiaowan, I gave you a way out, but you didn't know what was good for you and you ridiculed me. I'll tell you the truth, if my father hadn't said that if you got pregnant, he would make me the King of Lu, I really wouldn't want to come to you at all. Every day when I see your pretentious face, I feel disgusted."
Hearing He Jingcheng's "truth", Qu Xiaowan was stunned at first, then smiled coldly.
"Really? Me too. I didn't want to marry you at all, but the Queen Mother gave the order. If I disobeyed, my family's future would be ruined because of me. I really had no choice but to agree to marry you."
Seeing Qu Xiaowan being indifferent to him, He Jingcheng was not willing to be outdone.
"Okay, now that you've said it all, and you're pregnant, I don't have to come to your place anymore from now on, which is exactly what you want."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I couldn't ask for more." Qu Xiaowan responded frankly.
"However, you are the second prince's wife chosen by the Imperial Grandmother. In order to protect my status and position, I will not divorce you. So, you must be mentally prepared to be my woman for the rest of your life." He Jingcheng couldn't help but snorted.
"I have already prepared myself mentally to be a widow for the rest of my life." Qu Xiaowan said mercilessly.
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jingcheng exploded in anger. He pointed at Qu Xiaowan and cursed, "Okay, okay, very good, I'll help you."
After saying that, he angrily threw his sleeves and left without looking back.
When Qu Xiaowan saw He Jingcheng leave, she looked disdainful.
"Who cares about your favor? I would rather not have a man's love than you."
He Jingcheng walked out of the room angrily, and Fang Di followed him.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"That Qu Xiaowan really doesn't know what's good for her." He Jingcheng cursed as he walked.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince's wife is pregnant. Please try not to make her angry and let her give birth to the child smoothly." Fang Di advised.
After He Jingcheng glanced at Fang Di from the side, he slowly calmed down as he thought about the future.
"That's right. After all, I still have to rely on the baby in her belly to become the King of Lu. Forget it, I won't go to see her." He Jingcheng compromised.
"Your Highness, how do we resolve Madam Sumei's issue?" Fang Di changed the subject.
He Jingcheng thought for a moment and smiled complacently.
"Qu Xiaowan's pregnancy could just save Su Mei's life."
"What did you say?" Fang Di asked anxiously without reacting.
"Qu Xiaowan is pregnant. Can blood be seen in the house? If so, it would be an unlucky symbol. There's no way our mother wouldn't understand, right?" He Jingcheng asked with a smile.
Fang Di finally came to his senses and nodded with a smile.
"Your Highness, what you said is absolutely true."
"Just go to the palace tomorrow and say some nice things to mother, and that'll be all." He Jingcheng said confidently.
"Yes."
After Fang Di agreed, thinking of He Jingcheng's health, he couldn't help but remind him, "Your Highness, for the sake of your health, you should be more restrained when you go to Madam Sumei, otherwise the Queen will definitely not forgive Madam Sumei."
He Jingcheng heard this, looked at Fang Di, and sighed.
"Well, I really need to be more restrained. I've been too obsessed with Sumei these days."
Seeing He Jingcheng realize this, Fang Di was overjoyed. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's great that you think so."
However, whenever He Jingcheng thought of Su Mei, a smile would still appear on his face.
"You know what, Su Mei is really charming. Not only does she have a good appearance and figure, but her personality is also very likable. It's hard not to see her." He Jingcheng suddenly sighed.
Fang Di was speechless for a moment.
After a while, Fang Di asked, "Your Highness, you are not going to Madam Sumei's place tonight, right?"
He Jingcheng was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and sighed slightly.
"No, if I go again, my mother will find out and she won't know how to punish me. Tonight, I will go back to my yard and rest. Fang Di, send someone to inform Su Mei and tell her not to wait for me."
"Yes." Fang Di was overjoyed.
Prince of Yan's Mansion
He Tingxi's birthday party ended at half past the hour of Xu.
Seeing that Shi Hui had not returned yet, He Tingxi asked Xiaoyin to take Ling Xiyue back to the room to rest, and told them not to wait for him and let Ling Xiyue rest early.
He went to the study to wait for Shi Hui.
At 11 p.m., Shi Hui finally came back. He learned from the guard that He Tingxi was in the study, so he went straight to the study.
After seeing He Tingxi, Shi Hui bowed first.
"Your Highness."
"Why is it so late? Has a lot of things happened?" He Tingxi asked directly.
"A lot of things happened, so I was delayed for some time." Shi Hui nodded.
"Tell me quickly." He Tingxi was a little curious.
"Your Highness, your guess is correct. The Empress sent Nanny Dong to beat Su Mei to death, but the Second Prince was adamant and tried to stop him. He also said that he would go to the palace to apologize to the Empress tomorrow. Nanny Dong had no choice but to obey him. In addition, there is another thing. Miss Qu is pregnant, and it is said that she has been pregnant for more than a month. But when the Second Prince learned that she was pregnant, he quarreled with the Second Prince's wife and they parted unhappily." Shi Hui reported.
He Tingxi looked at Shi Hui and was stunned for a long time.
"The Queen wanted to beat Su Mei to death, but He Jingcheng actually stopped her. It seems that he really likes Su Mei." He Tingxi smiled coldly.
"Yes, he reacted violently and threatened Nanny Dong. He said he didn't want to stay in the Second Prince's Mansion and left immediately. At that time, Nanny Dong was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything." Shi Hui nodded.
"He Jingcheng knew that it was his mother who wanted to beat Su Mei to death, so he dared to treat Nanny Dong so brazenly." He Tingxi said with a sigh.
"Now that Qu Xiaowan is pregnant, Su Mei can't die."
"Su Mei can't die?" Shi Hui asked anxiously.
Seeing Shi Hui's anxious look, He Tingxi smiled silently.
"Well, Qu Xiaowan is pregnant, it's a happy event, and it's not appropriate to see blood in the house."
Shi Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in a low voice: "That's good."
Although the voice was very small, He Tingxi still heard it and he didn't understand it.
"Shi Hui, why do I feel like you still care about Su Mei? But you already have Han Min, so you can't be indecisive." He Tingxi reminded.
Shi Hui was startled, and he hurriedly explained, "Your Highness has misunderstood. I will definitely not do anything to let Han Min down. I just think Su Mei is like a painting. Even if I can't get close to her, it's still nice to look at her from a distance."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Tingxi froze and was suddenly speechless when answering Shi Hui.
Seeing that He Tingxi did not respond, Shi Hui continued: "Your Highness, this is really all I think of. I have no other thoughts."
"Okay, I understand. You don't have to explain anymore. I believe you are tired too, so go back to your room and rest." He Tingxi smiled faintly and ordered.
"Yes. I'll take my leave." Shi Hui bowed slightly and left the study.
