After the wine bottle was empty, the two of them entered the room.
Zhao Yihe's eyes were red, and he felt like he was crying before he could speak. Song Lianzhou, sitting opposite him, also found it incredible.
Who would have thought that Fang Rou, who usually followed Shen Zhixi, had such a past with His Royal Highness King Jing. If nothing was wrong, Fang Rou's son Xu was also King Jing's child.
"She sold herself into the Shen family of her own free will."
Song Lianzhou raised his eyes and thought about speaking clearly. If he changed his mind and thought about it, if Shen Zhixi entered someone else's house and worked as a slave, he would definitely take issue with it.
The person opposite looked at Song Lianzhou with tears in his eyes and smiled.
"I didn't say anything, but you are so nervous. In your eyes, Song Lianzhou, I am an unreasonable person? Besides, even if you want to blame me, I am the one who should be blamed. I should be responsible for all the mistakes. Yes I'm sorry for her."
If Zhao Yihe continues to speak, tears may flow out.
But there was still a smile on his face, but the bitterness of this smile was more painful than crying.
"Master." Wei Hong knocked on the door outside and said anxiously: "There is news from the palace that Princess Zhaoheng has been kidnapped and disappeared."
Hearing this, the two people inside instantly stood up in shock.
The disappearance of the princess was unusual and required various investigations. Zhao Yihe did not stay in the uncle's palace for long. If people found out that he was not in Prince Jing's palace, it would add fuel to the fire and cause riots in the palace.
After he left, Song Lianzhou immediately set off to go to the Ningcheng Hou Mansion.
"Sir, the person who took away Princess Zhaoheng was Qi Yuan who was beside Miss Shen."
While going out, Wei Hong followed Song Lianzhou to report to him.
Song Lianzhou was not surprised. He was silent for a moment and said: "There is no one else except him."
"Master, this Qi Yuan is too bold. He has entered the palace frequently in the past few days without being discovered. It is also because someone from the master is covering for him. The master said that there is no need to restrain Miss Shen, just let her do what she wants. But what we did today was too bold and reckless. If the palace starts a strict investigation, what will happen if one of us is found?"
Song Lianzhou didn't reply, but strode out of the threshold.
Get on the carriage and head to the Marquis' Mansion.
Outside the gate of Ningcheng Hou Mansion, a carriage stopped at the same time, and the person who got off came towards Song Lianzhou with a smile on his face.
"Brother Song, why are you here so late at night?"
It's Xie Jingshi.
Seeing him, Song Lianzhou's eyebrows jumped, and he instinctively remembered what Zhao Yihe had told him before about Fang Rou.
Xie Jingshi knew what Fang Rou was interested in.
"But yes, now it has been spread throughout the capital city that Wan Ying is your biological daughter, Brother Song. You and Sister Zhi Xi are already husband and wife, but they just need a formal wedding banquet, so even before the wedding, you often come to see her. She’s not out of line or anything.”
Song Lianzhou got out of the car and walked into the mansion door side by side with him.
Even though he didn't look back, he still felt sorry for Xie Jingshi's innocent face in his peripheral vision.
"By the way, Brother Song, my mother said she agreed to the matter between me and Fang Rou."
Halfway through, Xie Jingshi stopped suddenly.
Song Lianzhou was startled when he heard this, and then stopped, only to see sadness rising on his face, feeling sad for Xie Jingshi.
Not to mention the Xie family or Xie Hou, at least Xie Jingshi was the purest and purest person in Yue Jing City in his opinion. His pure and innocent mind was incompatible with the entire Yue Jing City.
He couldn't help but think, if the Xie family fell down in the future, and if Xie Jingshi knew the things hidden behind the Xie family, what would happen to Xie Jingshi then?
"You..." He didn't know how to say it, so he finally said, "Your mother agreed, did Fang Rou agree?"
"She never consented."
Xie Jingshi had a smile on his face. Even though he was saying such sad things, the words coming out of his mouth were full of hope and optimism. It's like saying that although Fang Rou doesn't agree at first, she will definitely agree in the future, and he will definitely find a way to make her agree.
"Actually, emotional matters don't have to..."
Song Lianzhou avoided his eyes and half of what he said was stuck in his throat.
He wanted to say that there is no need to force emotional matters.
Others said this was feasible, but hearing him say it must have been very unconvincing.
They say you don’t have to force yourself, but isn’t what he did just force it?
He himself was forcing Shen Zhixi's affection, so what qualifications did he have to say to Xie Jingshi that there was no need to force her.
"What's wrong? Brother Song, are you saying you don't have to force it? I understand what you mean, but I always want to give it a try. Even if the final result is not what I want, at least I tried my best and then I won't regret it. .”
"Jingshi..."
Song Lianzhou paused again, Xie Jingshi's clear eyes always made him unbearable.
Regardless of whether Fang Rou will agree or not, King Jing may not allow his child to call someone else his father. And if Xie Jingshi knew about Fang Rou and King Jing, it is unknown whether he would want to marry Fang Rou again.
It's just that the situation is in chaos right now. King Jing will at least wait until he is stable enough before looking for Fang Rou. He is not willing to involve Fang Rou's child now.
Therefore, Xie Jingshi should not let Xie Jingshi know about this, so as not to leak the news to Fang Rou.
"What's wrong, Brother Song, why are you hesitating tonight?"
Song Lianzhou shook his head at him, looked back and continued walking forward, "It's nothing, I just feel that there will be chaos in Yuejing City soon, and I always have many worries in my heart."
If the Xie family is convicted, there is no guarantee that Xie Jingshi will not be implicated.
"Yuejing City is going to be in chaos? What do you say?"
Xie Jingshi looked innocent and chased Song Lianzhou to ask.
The two of them went to Shi Xingyuan together, one to find Fang Rou and the other to find Shen Zhixi.
Shen Zhixi was not surprised to see Song Lianzhou and poured him a cup of tea very calmly. Song Lianzhou took the tea and sat down next to her.
"Where are the people?" he asked.
Shen Zhixi picked up her teacup and took a sip. She knew Song Lianzhou was asking Qi Yuan.
"Out of town." She replied.
Song Lianzhou didn't seem to believe it, and asked: "How did he get out of the city? There are gates in the east, west, south, north, and west. Where did he go out? If he had left the city, there would be no movement at the city gate, and spies from all over the place would have already been there. I’ve already received a reply.”
"Are you interrogating me?"
Shen Zhixi put down his teacup and pretended to be angry.
"I……"
"What are you doing? As soon as I entered the door, I didn't even have a good conversation before I started questioning you. Uncle Guo, do you want me to open a court for you and then ask me to kneel down and answer you?"
Song Lianzhou choked and his expression gradually softened.
Indeed, his expression was somewhat serious when he arrived.
But he definitely didn't mean that. He was just worried that if Qi Yuan was captured, Shen Zhixi would be implicated. Last time in the alley, the Xie family secret guards had seen what Qi Yuan looked like, and they knew he was Shen Zhixi at a glance. People from Zhixi.
Shen Zhixi glanced at him and said calmly: "I know what you are thinking, but I have told you a long time ago. Of course I have my own way to leave Yuejing City quietly. You are still overthinking it." Think of your own situation.”
