Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 458 Don’t Pick Up 15

After enjoying the breeze by the lake, Xie Si'an felt a little drowsy, so he asked Su Lingruo to leave and went back to his room on the boat to rest.

Su Lingruo didn't like noise, so she sat in the corner of the boat, looking sideways at the scenery in the lake. In the distance, she could vaguely hear the sound of noble ladies reciting poems and the sound of noble sons drinking and chatting happily.

"Miss Su."

The slender figure stopped in front of her.

Su Lingruo stood up, "Your Highness the Third Prince."

"Lingruo." Xie Heng's eyes were full of tenderness. "You are actually the daughter of the Su family, a wealthy merchant in Huaizhou. This prince has a concubine whose surname is also Su."

Almost the next moment, Su Lingruo knew that Su Tangtang must have been in the Third Prince's Mansion. As expected, the bond between the male and female protagonists was strong. It was self-evident who saved Xie Hengzhi.

"This prince still can't remember our past." Xie Hengzhi paused, "But in the future, we will have a long time to slowly recall it."

He practically confessed his feelings to the woman in front of him, his eyes almost tender.

"Third brother." Xie Wenzhi walked forward and interrupted the scene.

His gaze lingered on Su Lingruo for a long time, and finally landed on Xie Hengzhi, "How could this prince not know that my third brother and the imperial tutor's adopted daughter are old acquaintances?"

Did Su Lingruo really form an alliance with Xie Hengzhi? How much did she know, and did she give all the evidence to Xie Hengzhi?

Xie Wenzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, full of scrutiny.

"I have met His Highness the Fourth Prince."

"Tsk, why don't you continue to show off your eloquence in front of this prince?" Xie Wenzhi held a folding fan in his hand, opened it with a snap, and pointed the upward fan towards the woman's chin.

"I don't understand what Your Highness said." Su Lingruo looked innocent.

Xie Hengzhi immediately stood in front of Su Lingruo and said, "Fourth brother, you scared her."

"Third brother." Xie Wenzhi smiled, "Do you know who I saw in front of the Shuiguang Lake just now?"

He spoke with a bit of malice: "Third brother's new concubine is so pretty and charming."

As soon as the voice fell, the ignorant Su Tangtang was brought in by the maid. She was a little scared when she came to the unfamiliar environment, but suddenly she saw the third prince, and her eyes lit up, "Your Highness!"

But the next second, Su Tangtang saw Su Lingruo, and she was suddenly stunned, "Su Lingruo, why are you here?"

Still behind the third prince.

Just now, after Su Tangtang left the house, she saw Su Yun. She was still wondering why Su Yun, who was far away in Huaizhou, came to Beijing to do business, but then she quickly understood.

Could it be that he learned that she had become the third prince's concubine and came here specifically to establish a close relationship with her?

Su Tangtang bumped into Su Yun head-on with a cold face, but the other party didn't even look up at her and ignored her.

Continue to order your men to do the work.

Su Tangtang's eyes widened. "Su Yun, can't you see me? Why are you becoming more and more unruly?"

Su Yun glanced at her and said, "Oh, Su Tangtang."

Su Tangtang was so angry that she almost laughed. Su Yun didn't come to please her. Didn't he know her current identity?

"Any brick on the roof tiles in Beijing could hit a fourth-rank official. Su Yun, you have no power or influence, so you'd better be careful."

If he offended someone, Su Tangtang would definitely not help him.

"Don't bother with that." The woman in black beside Su Yun stood with her hands behind her back and spoke coldly.

"Ah Xuan, why are you here?" Su Yun's expression softened instantly.

"Ms. Su is my employer. She asked me to protect you, so it's only natural for me to come here."

She was a martial arts expert, and if Miss Su hadn't given her enough money to protect Su Yun, she wouldn't want to pay any attention to him.

What kind of danger could such a simple businessman be in that would be worth Su Lingruo spending a huge amount of money to protect Su Yun.

However, if you have the money, you are a fool not to make it. As the number one master in the world, Ah Xuan is also a little poor. The employer offered a sky-high price, so she had to reluctantly protect this small businessman.

The naive Su Yun just thought that Ah Xuan was arranged by his sister to help him with his business.

So he always threw some brain-demanding problems to Ah Xuan, which made Ah Xuan speechless.

She has high fighting ability, but she doesn't have any talent in brain power.

Su Tangtang felt bored when she saw Su Yun ignoring her. She thought that she seemed to have heard from the servant today that Xie Hengzhi went to Shuiguang Lake, so she went to try her luck.

Who knew I would meet Xie Wenzhi right at the door.

"Why are you here?" Xie Hengzhi's face was a little cold. He hated it most when women in the backyard inquired about his whereabouts.

"It was His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince who brought me in..." Su Tangtang said timidly.

Her eyes were fixed on Su Lingruo's face.

This gaze seemed to be real, and Su Lingruo couldn't help but pay some attention to Su Tangtang.

"Third brother is so lucky to have such a pretty girl in the backyard, but he is reluctant to bring her out for me, the fourth brother, to see."

The frivolous words made Su Tangtang's face blush.

"Go back." Xie Hengzhi said coldly, "I'll let the servant take you back. From now on, you are not allowed to leave the house without my permission."

"This place is not like Huaizhou. If you are still so lax and undisciplined, go back."

Su Tangtang's eyes instantly turned red. She couldn't believe that Xie Hengzhi would say that.

"I see…"

Su Tangtang was a little dazed and followed the servant away, while Xie Wenzhi curled his lips and chased after her.

"Miss Su saved my life, but you are still treated so contemptuously by me. If it were me, I would never let you feel wronged."

Xie Wenzhi drove the servant away and walked beside Su Tangtang.

Su Tangtang pursed her lips and said nothing. Her mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, and she kept recalling the days and nights they had spent together at Zhuangzi in the mountains of Huaizhou.

She only responded to Xie Wenzhi with a few polite words, and then returned to the Third Prince's Mansion with a heavy heart.

His mind was full of Su Lingruo behind Xie Hengzhi. Why was her cousin at the boating party?

Only the nobles in the capital are worthy of entering.

Su Tangtang called the servants in the mansion and asked a few questions, only then did she know that Su Lingruo became the adopted daughter of the Imperial Teacher because she saved the Imperial Teacher's wife.

But why was she treated so differently even though she saved people?

A concubine and an adopted daughter, the latter is better.

Forget it, she is the concubine of the Third Prince. The Third Prince may ascend to the throne in the future. By then, she will be the Emperor's woman. In any case, she is better than a little adopted daughter of the Emperor's tutor.

After sending Su Tangtang away, Xie Hengzhi finally had time to express his love to the woman in front of him, Su Lingruo.

After all, Fu Meng did not give a definite answer, nor did he agree immediately. If he wanted to win over Fu Meng, it seemed that he had to start with Su Lingruo.

As long as Su Lingruo agreed and had an entanglement with him, now that she is the adopted daughter of the Emperor's teacher, is she still afraid that Fu Meng will not agree to stand on his side?

This time in Huaizhou, he was seriously injured and seemed to have lost his power, but in fact, Xie Hengzhi still had the leverage over Xie Wenzhi.

That is, the forces under Xie Wenzhi's wing bought and sold test papers and committed cheating in the imperial examination.
