As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 192 If you don’t deserve it, you can’t help it
Chen Shulan turned back suddenly.

That man in green-grey attire standing in the night with his sleeves half rolled up, who else could he be if he wasn't Chen Qingci?
Chen Shulan quickly ran forward and covered Chen Qing's mouth before he could finish calling him "Miss", "I have something to tell you, and I must say it now, I must!"

Chen Qingci's lips unexpectedly touched Chen Shulan's palm.

The smooth and sweet touch made Chen Qingci's heart relax for a moment.

In just this moment, Chen Shulan grabbed his arm and pulled Chen Qingci into the rockery not far away.

At this time, Chen Qingci came back to his senses.

He said: "Miss, you shouldn't be here so late——"

"To shut up!"

Chen Shulan said coldly: "I'm here to find you, don't pretend you don't know!"

Chen Qingci paused and took a deep breath: "What's the matter with Miss?"

"I want you to take me away. Let's leave the capital and go to a place where no one knows us for the rest of our lives."

Chen Qingci was stunned: "Miss, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know, I know everything!"

Chen Shulan grabbed his sleeve and said, "Qingci, I don't want to stay in the capital and marry some unknown person... I want to be with you, Qingci, I know you like me too, right?"

"Can you just watch me marry someone else?"

"I won't be happy if I marry someone else!"

Chen Shulan thought about Chen Qingci's deliberate distance in recent times, and when she thought about the days to come, she felt sad and completely gave up the last bit of reserve in her heart.

She rushed to Chen Qingci without hesitation and hugged him tightly, "Qingci, take me away, take me away..."

Chen Qingci froze instantly.

He wanted to nod at this, really take her away from here, and never be separated from the young lady.

But he can't.

He was a domestic slave and took away the young lady. From now on, he wanted the young lady to live in the open air with him and live in exile?
There was a time when he could not refuse any request from his young lady.

However, until now, he could not give the lady any response.

"Miss—" Chen Qingci held Chen Shulan's arm and slowly but firmly pushed her away from him, "I really can't take Miss away."

Chen Shulan looked at Chen Qingci in disbelief, her eyes full of pain and sadness: "You don't want to?"

"I will pretend that what happened tonight never happened, and I will send the lady back to her room to rest."

Tears welled up in Chen Shulan's eyes, "You don't like me? Really?"

The pain in Chen Shulan's eyes was too heavy, piercing his heart like a sword, making him unable to breathe smoothly.

Chen Qingci opened his mouth, and the words "My beloved young lady" almost came out of his mouth.

However, at the most critical moment, he suppressed all impulses.

He doesn't deserve it, he can't, he doesn't deserve it.

Chen Qingci forced herself to calm down and said expressionlessly: "This subordinate is just a servant, and I don't deserve this from the lady."

"I have never treated you as a servant."

"Then why do you treat me like a servant when you order me and demand me like this?" Chen Qingci blurted out.

One sentence pierced Chen Shulan's heart like a sharp sword.

Chen Shulan's face turned pale, and the moisture that had been trapped for a long time turned into countless teardrops, which fell and hit the bluestone ground, "It turns out, it turns out..."

He doesn't like her.

He only regards her as a unruly and willful young lady, a master who must obey orders and be submissive.

"I see."

Chen Shulan smiled at him awkwardly, with tears in her smile, "Sorry, sorry..." She turned around and walked back stiffly, never looking back again.

Every step seemed to follow the general standards measured with a ruler. His back was as straight as if he was going to a noble banquet, instead of being lonely and sad after being rejected by his confession and could only go back to his nest to lick his wounds.

……

After Xie Zhaozhao returned to Wangyue Tower that day, Lei Xing came to report and said that the affairs of the Dou family seemed to have nothing to do with Prince Liang.

Xie Zhaozhao already knew that everything was Yun Qi, so he just smiled.

But then I thought that if Yun Qi reached out to the Dou family, it must be for himself, and it would be impossible for him to do nothing to Chu Nanxuan, Xie Xingchen and the Dou family.

Xie Zhaozhao ordered Lei Xing and Hongxiu to check on these three people.

You won’t know if you don’t check it, but you will be really shocked if you check it.

There was something wrong with Dou's death.

"This slave found this in the second lady's pillow." Hong Xiu handed some dried flower petals to Xie Zhaozhao to see.

"It's a mandala."

Xie Zhaozhao carefully took the petals.

She had read in Mr. Miao's medical textbook that datura was a very poisonous weed. If eaten by mistake, it would cause coma and death in twelve hours.

If you put it in a pillow and suck it every day, although the toxicity will be weakened a lot, the body will become weaker and weaker as it is eaten away by whales.

It can still be fatal in the long run.

Xie Zhaozhao thought that Dou's fate had come, but he didn't want to...

She slowly wrapped the mandala petals in a clean handkerchief and couldn't help but sigh. When it comes to long-term thinking, Yun Qi is really powerful.

When Xie Zhaozhao came back from rebirth, he secretly asked Hongxiu and Hongxia to check the people in the house, fearing that Dou and Chu Nanxuan would get involved and something bad would happen at the critical moment.

She thought she had everything under control in the Xie family, but she didn't expect that she didn't even know when Yun Qi had done anything to the Dou family.

"Miss." Xiang Rong quickly walked into the room, holding a post wrapped in light blue cloth in her hand, "It was sent from the Chen Family Annex."

"Chen family?"

Xie Zhaozhao came back to his senses, took the post and looked at it, his expression became a little subtle: "Chen Shulan wants to come and visit her."

"She is the lady's love rival." Xianggui frowned slightly: "It's too weird to come to visit the doctor at this time. I don't know what she is thinking."

"You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others."

Xie Zhaozhao closed the post and said, "Since she is coming, I will follow her. You go and prepare."

……

Two days later, Chen Shulan came to the Duke of Liang's house.

Xie Zhaozhao personally went to Jiaomen to greet Chen Shulan.

After the two greeted each other, she led Chen Shulan into the house.

It's now December, the coldest time of the year.

Chen Shulan wore a silver-red jacket and skirt, a jade-white terry bra, and a white fox cloak outside, looking like a wealthy and beautiful lady.

However, that face was much thinner than the last time we saw him at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet.

Although she had put on some makeup, her face really looked a little haggard.

Chen Shulan smiled and asked about Xie Zhaozhao's injury.

Xie Zhaozhao said politely: "After taking care of it for a long time, it can be considered recovered. It's just that it's freezing cold and the house has a lot of things to do, so I haven't been walking around recently."

"That's it." Chen Shulan nodded: "I thought Miss Xie's injury was not healed, so she stayed behind closed doors."
