"I didn't expect Miss Shen and Earl Leicester..." Qin Chengxu glanced at the two of them tentatively, his tone a little more ambiguous.
Lester frowned and was about to deny it when he stepped heavily on his expensive boots.
"We are just friends, please don't get me wrong, Your Highness, the eldest prince." Shen Qingqing clarified, but her eyes quickly glanced at Lester, and his expression of hesitation to speak aroused a lot of reverie.
Qin Chengxu was secretly shocked, but his face remained calm as he joked: "Earl of Leicester, you are really passionate."
A few days ago, gossip was flying all over the world, and the goddess whom I longed for became my cousin-in-law. Now there is another beautiful woman around me, and she is actually a heavy daughter.
Shen Qingqiu has been wanted in the empire for so long, so there is nothing wrong with being eager to find a backer now.
In this way, it seems to make sense.
Qin Chengxu sneered slightly, with contempt in his eyes.
I don't know if I will be so angry that my granddaughter will crawl out of the coffin in order to survive.
"Your Highness, it's not polite for you to stare at my female companion like this." Although Lester is timid, he is a young man who has been instilled with the idea of "gentleman" since childhood. This is why Shen Qiao was pointed at by so many guns. He could also shake his legs while pulling her beside him to protect her.
This alone made Shen Qingqian look at him differently.
Jiang Zhixian stood behind him with an irritated look on his face. He was just a backdrop now. He couldn't speak or kick Qin Chengxu in the face, so he was suffocating.
Fortunately, Lester is not too cowardly. If Qin Chengxu doesn't want to quarrel, he must give him face.
"Sorry." Qin Chengxu said it very insincerely, but it gave Lester enough face.
He glanced at the empty table and began to order the servant, "Go and prepare two cups of coffee for Miss Shen and Earl of Leicester. Let's talk about business."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Zhixian and the housekeeper behind Lester, and smiled.
"You also go out and wait."
Yue Zu's agent's tone clearly indicated that he wanted to use his status to suppress others. The underlying meaning was very simple, that is, I'm selling you face and apologizing, but don't forget whose territory this is.
Lester secretly glanced at Shen Qingqi and saw that she had no reaction at all, then he straightened his body and said to the old housekeeper.
"In that case, you should go and rest first. His Highness the First Prince and I still have important things to discuss."
"Yes, Lord Earl." The old butler bent down and left respectfully.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to take away Jiang Zhixian, who looked unhappy.
And the moment they went out, Jiang Zhixian suddenly swayed and held the large vase next to him as if he was about to fall. This movement directly attracted the guards outside.
"Sorry!" Jiang Zhixian raised his hands to prove that he did not carry any weapons. "I was accidentally cunning."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the First Prince, this is my distant relative, and it's his first time traveling far away..." The old butler looked ashamed and bowed again to apologize.
Qin Chengxu knew that in order to get rid of his cousin, Lester took all his people with him when he went out this time.
I heard that most of them are useless trash.
"Get out." Qin Chengxu sneered, regarding Jiang Zhixian as a little person who had never seen the world, and was unwilling to give him even a spare glance.
Shen quietly turned his head and met Jiang Zhixian's eyes, and his breath suddenly stopped.
An idea flashed through her mind instantly.
This guy is definitely up to something!
What's over there in the vase? Shen quietly took a quick glance, then regained his composure and sat down next to Lester with a calm expression.
"Lester", who had been entrusted with the important task, sat on the chair with a disheveled look on his face. After a while, a servant brought two cups of hot coffee, and he relaxed a little.
Seeing that his slender right hand was about to touch the handle of the cup, a pain came from the instep of his foot again.
What a cruel woman!
Lester retracted his hand and sat down calmly. He didn't really want to talk, especially to Qin Chengxu.
If he is caught, his cousin may not be willing to spend money to catch him.
"Earl of Leicester, are you feeling unwell?" Qin Chengxu frowned when he saw him wandering around.
"No, it's just the same old habit." Lester said.
Just when everyone thought everything was alright, Shen Qiao suddenly grabbed Lester's arm and showed a worried expression.
"Lester, have you taken your medicine today?"
Medicine? What medicine?
Why should I take medicine?
Lester was confused and didn't understand what the show was. Fortunately, the gravity on his instep pressed down a little more, making him enlightened.
"Oh, I can't remember clearly either." He said with a distorted face.
The end of Shen Qingqing's eyes suddenly turned red, "How can this be possible? I remember that I finished taking the medicine yesterday. You'd better contact the family doctor quickly and ask them to send the medicine as soon as possible."
Oh, contact the doctor.
Lester nodded, then raised the personal terminal on his wrist and found that there was no signal.
Shen Qingqing immediately looked at Qin Chengxu and said nervously: "Thanks to the help of the eldest prince, we were able to escape. Now that the crisis has been resolved, please remove the shield and let Lester contact the doctor."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chengxu's expression suddenly became distorted. He looked at Shen Qingqing gloomily, with a warning in his eyes, and then said to Lester.
"I don't know what's wrong. I happen to have a good doctor on board my starship. Why don't you help the count take a look?"
"No, Lester's medicines are specially formulated and cannot be replaced easily." Shen quietly refused.
Qin Chengxu's face was frighteningly dark after being disgraced.
Lester felt deep in his heart and suddenly added, "It's time for me to tell my cousin that I'm safe. He controls me very strictly. Although I don't like it, I can't disobey his order."
The two of them talked to each other, and the reasons were so good that Qin Chengxu completely lost his excuse.
There are only two options before him now, either to break up with him or to be put under house arrest.
Or just turn on the jammer and let Lester contact his cousin.
Lester is easy to cheat, and his cousin is notoriously difficult and shrewd.
Just when Qin Chengxu was hesitating, the door of the living room suddenly opened, and a young man in a wheelchair was pushed in.
"Mr. Yun." Qin Chengxu stood up, his attitude immediately changed.
Shen quietly noticed something strange and frowned slightly.
Could this be Fang Yunjin, the "Jade Faced Yama" of the empire?
No, his surname is no longer Fang. After all, it was he who personally eradicated the Fang family, abandoned his surname, and called himself Yunjin.
Why did Qin Chengxu get involved with him?
No, it should be, how could Lord Yun Jin, who had "nothing left to say", be willing to assist the arrogant and arrogant eldest prince?
Shen Qiao's thoughts were in a mess, and he was obviously shocked.
At this time, a voice as gentle as jade suddenly sounded.
"You are Mr. Shen's granddaughter, Shen Qingqing, right?"
