"Qing Qing, how could you do such a thing?" Su Qian Xing immediately called for his subordinates to help him out. Then, he turned around and started to complain about the culprit.

Xiao Qing closed her eyes and did not say anything.

Su Qianxing was either because she did not use this opportunity to get in Su Qianhan's way, or because she did not expect that she would commit such a heinous crime. This was very different from her usual behavior.

Under these two circumstances, he wasn't able to suppress his temper and blurted out some harsh words, "Even if you're jealous, she's still your sister. You really disappoint me by doing this."

The moment she said that, the atmosphere on the bed immediately changed.

A trace of ridicule flashed in Xiao Qing Ran's eyes.

Indeed, it was disappointing.

Over there, Xiao Xiyu had already been rescued, but because she had been flooded with too much water and was unable to speak normally, she could only wrap herself with a few pieces of cloth as she puffed and trembled.

Everyone began to whisper among themselves.

After Su Qianxing shouted those words, he also instantly realized that something was amiss and almost subconsciously regained his gentleness and consideration.

"No, Qing Qing, I didn't mean it that way ?" He took two steps forward and placed both of his hands on her shoulders, speaking in a tone as if he was coaxing a child, "You know, I did this for your own good. I was afraid that you would suffer a loss. I didn't really want to blame you."

Xiao Qing pursed her lips and shook her head, showing her good behavior at the right time. "I know I did the wrong thing just now, it's just ?"

"You know what you did wrong? Xiao Qinggran, you are really going too far! " A lady in a yellow dress walked up to teach him a lesson.

Xiao Qing Ran recognized the woman. She was the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and her name was Yun Ya. She was Xiao Xi Yu's best friend.

Su Qian Xing then stepped forward and shielded the people behind him, putting his men behind him. "Calm down, Miss Yun. Of course she didn't mean to, I am the one responsible for this. I shouldn't have called you out just now. Only she ?" I will bear the consequences of this matter. "

He paused and did not finish his words.

However, this explanation was indeed impressive. On the surface, it was like carrying everything off, but in reality, it was a good man's image that was set against his own by belittling Xiao Qing Qing's unreasonable way of causing trouble.

Actually, this man had done the same thing quite often before. It was just that Xiao Qingyi still loved him back then, so she let him use her as a stepping stone.

Now that he thought about it, it was truly laughable.

"I am not an unreasonable person. The Crown Prince said this because he wanted to take this woman as a scapegoat." Yun Ya obviously didn't take this lying down and continued, "However, this was all due to that woman. I must get justice for Xi Yu."

Su Qian Xing frowned as though he was in a difficult situation. He turned around and glanced at the people behind him.

From start to finish, Xiao Qing Ran kept her head down and did not speak.

She wasn't tall, but her eyes were downcast. Su Qianxing's way of looking at it felt like she was reflecting on something she had done wrong. It made people feel pity for her.

"Yun Ya, don't be like this ?" She coughed twice, but her tone was extremely weak. Coupled with her pale and wet face, she looked exceptionally haggard, "Third Sister might just be worried. Fortunately, I'm not really injured, so let's forget about this matter."

"How can this be!" As she spoke, she glared at Xiao Qing Yun: "Xi Yu, you are too good-natured, which is why you are being bullied. You are the direct descendant, she is only a concubine, why do you have to be so modest towards her?!"

"Cough, cough ?" "It's not that I'm being modest, it's just that today is a good day. I don't want everyone to be unhappy because of me." Xiao Xiyu lowered her head and shook it. Her half-closed eyes looked very sensible.

If she were to compare it to what Xiao Qing Ran had done before, she would know who was stronger and who was weaker.

Just a moment ago, everyone was still paying attention to Su Qianxing, the crown prince, as he spoke in a low voice. The accusations he made were clear, as they all fell towards the victims.

Su Qian Xing knitted his eyebrows. On the surface, he sounded like he had won the praises from the crowd, but in reality, he did not get rid of Xiao Qing Qing's pointers. "Alright, I've said it before. Let's end it here. I will personally explain it to General Xiao."

Yun Ya gave a cold humph and said, "I hope Your Highness can give us a satisfactory explanation, we can't let the culprit get away scot-free."

So what if that woman was under the protection of the crown prince? She wasn't afraid at all. What she disliked the most was useless trash like the crown prince. She really didn't know what he liked about her.

"This has nothing to do with the crown prince." Xiao Qing Qing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her head and threw out a sentence.

Yun Ya frowned. "What do you mean?"

Xiao Qing Ran was silent again, but she turned her gaze towards Su Qian Han.

Everyone suddenly remembered what happened before Xiao Xiyu fell into the water. So that was what she meant.

The man on the other side looked at the farce expressionlessly. His gaze swept across the people on the deck with a mocking gaze before finally landing on Xiao Qingran. He suddenly smiled and said, "This King will naturally keep his word. No matter what you do, This King will interfere, so ?"

He paused for a moment before turning to look at Yun Ya. With a dangerous tone, he asked, "You mean to say that you want me to give you an explanation?"

Yun Ya felt her body stiffen as she heard this. She could only feel a chill on her back.

Everyone present knew Su Qianhan's personality. He had a very bad temper, sometimes, when he acted, even the Emperor couldn't do anything about him. If they really wanted this God to be responsible, then ?

Yun Ya's eyes trembled. She no longer had the courage to stand up for him.

Even Xiao Xiyu's expression was extremely unsightly. If the other party was the crown prince, she would naturally not let that slut, Xiao Qingran, off lightly. However, the Duke of Han ?

Xiao Qingran had actually already grasped this point, or else she wouldn't have let that man help her out.

However, the most important thing was not here.

She pursed her lips and looked at Su Qian Xing. There was a hidden meaning behind her words, "Qian Xing, don't be angry. I'll explain this to daddy myself. I won't make things difficult for you."

She wouldn't make things difficult for him, which meant that the person she wanted to make things difficult was someone else.

When these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately changed.

No one present was an idiot. After all, the relationship between the crown prince and Duke Han wasn't as tense as it had been a day or two.

Even though Xiao Qingran was usually a 'good-for-nothing', she would never do anything unnecessary. This sudden attack was not for a reason. Furthermore, something like that had happened at the Crown Prince's Feast a few days ago.

Thinking about it this way, today's matter did not seem to be as simple as it seemed.

Suddenly, the situation reversed.

However, she couldn't go overboard in order to not arouse Su Qian Xing's suspicions. She could only put on a timid front, "Qian Xing, I'm a bit tired, so I'll be returning first. My apologies."

It was rare for Su Qianxing to not react. Just as he was about to ask her to stay, the boat managed to land on the shore.

Xiao Qingran took advantage of this opportunity to get off the boat and leave in a hurry, not even looking back. Even her back gave people the illusion that she was fleeing in panic.

"Today is truly interesting. This King did not come for nothing." Su Qianhan, who was watching the show, stood up and said, "Since there is nothing for This King to do here, it seems that This King should return."

As he spoke, he leisurely walked towards the shore. The people around him all consciously opened up a path for him.

Su Qian Xing frowned as he looked at the man's back, deep in thought.

On the other side, Xiao Qing Qing quickly withdrew her cowardly look and walked towards the Xiao Residence in large strides.

Today's matter could be considered settled, but it was unlikely that Xiao Xiyu would let things rest that easily. If she didn't do anything on this matter, she would definitely cause trouble in other areas as well.

It was best for him to first have a good night's sleep before taking on the challenge.

Besides, Su Qianxing would probably need some time to calm him down.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Qing Qing went back to her room to take off her coat. Just as she was about to sleep without washing up, she suddenly felt that there was an additional breath in her room.

"Get out here!" Murderous intent was hidden in her eyes. She turned around, one leg still stepping on the bed, and quickly took out a silver needle from her sleeve.

The silver needle flashed with a cold light. It whizzed out and pierced towards the shadow that had suddenly appeared in the room.

'Listen! ' The silver needle changed its direction the moment it hit the man's forehead, turning around and shooting into a wall not far away.

"I really didn't see your inner strength being so strong, but I underestimated you." The man withdrew his hand from the concealed weapon and stepped out from the shadows.

Using the moonlight in the room, Xiao Qing was able to clearly see the man's face. The alert she had just put up slightly loosened up, and she frowned: "Prince, trespassing into a house isn't so good, is it?"

He had obviously disembarked first, but this man's footsteps were quite fast.

Su Qian snorted coldly, not caring about such small matters. He strode towards the bedside and asked, "Xiao Qing Ran, how do you explain today's matter? Using This King as a shield, how dare you! "

"Tsk, does your highness not know any other words? Every time you see me, you use the same tone and tone. Don't you get tired of it? " Xiao Qing curled her lips and raised her head.

Although her position on the bed didn't seem as high as the man's, her imposing manner and attitude didn't seem to be at a disadvantage at all.

Actually, this was also one of the things that made Su Qianhan puzzled. He had never met anyone who dared to look straight at him like her. Even Su Qianxing would often be defeated by his direct confrontation with her.

In that case, this woman was definitely out of the ordinary.

However, Xiao Qing Qing wasn't able to completely block his sinister gaze. It was just that she had been used to opposing him for too long in her previous life.

Sighing, she rubbed her temples with a headache. "Your Highness is a smart person, it's impossible for you to not see the final goal of what I've done today, putting aside the grudges between us. Since this matter has no disadvantages for Your Highness, you should also ignore it, right?"
