Chapter 424 No chance

"You are also familiar with the woman he wants to marry."

Wan Siyu wiped her tears and said sadly: "She is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Industry, Hou Qian, the one your eldest brother planned to marry."

"Miss Hou?"

A gentle and dignified figure appeared in Shen Ruoxi's mind.

She nodded: "Miss Hou is well-educated and sensible. She is indeed a good match for the prince."

Hearing this, Wan Siyu cried louder.

Shen Ruoxi reached out and wiped her tears.

"Prince Qin is not the only good man in this world. You are noble and rich. What kind of man do you want?"

"Every time the person I like doesn't like me, I'm afraid I won't have a good marriage in this life."

Wan Siyu lowered his eyes, his eyes were very sad.

"Actually, I expected this result. Last time I heard Qin Chengxuan said that he likes women who are knowledgeable and sensible."

"Although I don't want to admit it, Hou Qian is indeed a very good woman."

She burst into tears: "But I just can't give in. I obviously fell in love with him first and had the upper hand, but I still couldn't get this marriage."

Shen Ruoxi sighed.

"Marriage is a very important word. Siyu, it's really yours and no one can take it away."

"It's not mine, and you can't ask for it."

Wan Siyu's voice was choked.

After talking to Shen Ruoxi, her mood improved a lot.

What did she think of.

"I'm sorry. You are obviously not in a good mood, but I still tell you about my troubles... I heard that your eldest brother killed Su Tianling and is now being imprisoned and about to be executed?"

"Well, there are too many things involved in this matter. Prince Rong is clinging to this matter now. My eldest brother is in a more dangerous situation. A-Heng is trying to find a way to save him."

After hearing this, Wan Siyu thought for a while and then said.

"I discovered a strange thing last time. It was about Prince Rong's Mansion... But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with your elder brother. I don't know if I can help you."

"what's up?"

"At midnight the day before yesterday, I stayed at Huafang until midnight before going back. On the way, I saw a person walking into a dark alley. I know that person. She is Xue Yuan, the princess of Prince Rong's Mansion."

Wan Siyu frowned: "At that time, I was a little confused about why she appeared here sneakily in the middle of the night, and I didn't think much about it. But today, when I got to Prince Rong's Mansion, I thought about it again, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. "

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi asked.

"What kind of dark alley is it?"

"It's the jewelry store on East Street. There's an alley on the left, and there's a clothing store next to it."

"I see."

Shen Ruoxi was thoughtful.

After Wan Siyu left, Shen Ruoxi waited in the courtyard for a while before the two of them came out.

Murong Minghua held a calligraphy painting in his hand with a satisfied look on his face.

And Shen Che followed behind, with a layer of red on his face.

After getting on the carriage, Shen Ruoxi looked at Shen Che who was standing at the door looking at his wife, and couldn't help but look at Murong Minghua.

"My second brother's face is so red, are you really just writing calligraphy in the house?"

"What if that's not the case? I just complimented him on his excellent calligraphy. Who would have thought that he was shy?"

Of course, she said those words in Shen Che's ears.

But when I got closer, I didn't expect that fool to be like that.

"By the way, Minghua, Prince Qin is planning to get married?"

"I did hear that this happened, what's the matter?"

"Siyu came over today and told me about this. She was very sad. I was also a little surprised that the prince would discuss marriage with Miss Hou so soon..."

"I don't think it's surprising at all that my cousin has taken a liking to Hou Qian."

Murong Minghua glanced at Shen Ruoxi.

Hou Qian, like her, is a dignified and intelligent woman.

Qin Chengxuan's vision has never changed.

……

Inside the Star Reaching Pavilion.

Murong Heng sat by the window, frowning slightly as he listened to the reports from his subordinates.

After everyone finished speaking, Suzaku waved.

"Go down."

He whispered: "Master, the groom who had an affair with Xue Yuan has been executed long ago. There are no other insiders. Su Tianling has also been buried. It is basically impossible to find evidence that Su Tianling is not the princess... .”

Murong Heng said lightly.

"The groom is dead, isn't there still Xue Yuan?"

"Xue Yuan? How could she relent and testify?"

Suzaku lowered his voice: "Master, you should know that Xue Yuan has a strong and twisted love for Su Sheng, and it is absolutely impossible for her to betray Su Sheng."

People around Su Sheng were secretly investigated by Zhaixing Pavilion.

Xue Yuan is not as dignified, self-possessed, graceful and luxurious as she appears.

On the contrary, she abandoned her dignity in front of Su Sheng and became so humble that she became sick.

Murong Heng said.

"Any emotion taken to an extreme will be counterproductive, and so will love."

After the words fell, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Master, the princess is here."

Hearing this, Zhuque retreated knowingly.

Opening the door, Shen Ruoxi was standing outside.

She stepped in,

Seeing her, the expression on Murong Heng's face softened instantly.

"Why are you here?"

"Minghua and I were out of the palace for a walk. I remembered that you were in the Star Picking Pavilion, so I came over to see you."

Shen Ruoxi was about to sit on the chair next to her, but Murong Heng held her hand and pulled her into her arms.

"No, it's broad daylight..."

"No one will come in."

Murong Heng grabbed her waist and lowered his head to kiss her.

Shen Ruoxi blocked it with her hands.

"I have something to tell you."

"Let's talk after the kiss."

"..."

By the time Murong Heng finished the kiss, Shen Ruoxi's heart was beating like a drum and she was already a little dizzy.

It took him a long time to find his thoughts.

"What do you have to say?"

"It's about Xue Yuan."

Shen Ruoxi straightened her expression and told what Wan Siyu had seen.

"This matter seems to have nothing to do with my brother's incident...but there are clues that may lead to a breakthrough."

"I was worried that I couldn't catch Xue Yuan, and now you have given me such important news. Ruoxi, you came just in time. It's great to have you."

"As long as this clue is useful."

Shen Ruoxi smiled.

Now he speaks ambiguous words freely, and his words become more and more fluent.

After Shen Ruoxi left, Murong Heng ordered Leng Ye to go to the dark alley that Shen Ruoxi mentioned.

Leng Ye immediately led the people secretly and found the dark alley. After passing through the alley, they found a private house deep down.

It seemed to have been abandoned for a while, but there was a man living in the main room.

Leng Ye immediately caught the man and interrogated him.

"Master, let me ask you clearly. He is Xue Yuan's mistress outside."

After saying this, he said in a somewhat contemptuous tone: "The dignified Princess Rong actually did such a thing. Where can I put Su Sheng's face if word spreads about it?"

Murong Heng's eyes fell on the captured man, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

"Don't you think he looks a bit like a human being from this perspective?"

Leng Ye turned around.

Under the dim candlelight, the man's profile was sharp and angular.

"Is it a bit like...Prince Rong?"

Leng Ye was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

Su Sheng is already here, but she is still looking for a substitute. What on earth is this woman doing?

"Find a way to get Xue Yuan to come over tonight. I want to see her."

"Yes."
