Looking at Bai Qingting's troubled expression, Bai Wanrou sighed silently.
It wasn't that she was on guard against her father, but that her father didn't trust her.
The room fell into silence for a moment.
At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Qingtang's voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, can this slave come in?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a glimmer of light flashed across Bai Wanrou's eyes, and her expression darkened.
But Bai Qingting suddenly sat up straight, with a look of panic on his face.
It’s Qingtang who’s back!
He first glanced at Bai Wanrou cautiously, trying to figure out her expression. He was afraid that the other party would smell something wrong from Qingtang and become more suspicious of his father.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with Bai Wanrou's expression. She quickly smiled and said to the door: "Come in."
Seeing this, Bai Qingting breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, Qingtang opened the door and walked in.
When she saw Bai Qingting was there, she couldn't help but show a hint of guilt on her face.
Why is Young Master Bai here? Will he know about his visit to Bai Mansion? Will he tell the lady about it?
Although she felt uneasy in her heart, she quickly hid the guilt in her eyes.
"Miss!" She pretended to be excited and walked up to Bai Wanrou: "Who do you think this slave saw just now?"
Hearing this, Bai Wanrou secretly exchanged glances with Lu Zhu on the side, and then a smile appeared on her face: "Who did you see? Tell me."
Qingtang immediately started talking excitedly: "I just saw the eldest lady of the Su family, Su Mingjing, going to the prince's study!"
When she heard the three words "Su Mingjing", Bai Wanrou's eyes suddenly darkened.
She knew that Su Mingjing was the eldest lady of the Su family. Although she was a daughter, she was very strong and took charge of the family business for the Su family.
Not only is she beautiful in appearance, but she also has a resolute and decisive personality.
She came from a business background, and seemed to understand that businessmen have been inferior to officials since ancient times, and their status was low. So she always wanted to use her marriage to improve the status of the Su family.
Was it really just a matter of discussing things when she met Chen Ruzhi this time?
For some reason, Bai Wanrou thought of this problem in her mind, and when she realized it, she couldn't help but feel very upset.
The affairs between the two of them are none of her business. It would be better for her to pay less attention to Chen Ruzhi's affairs from now on.
When Qingtang saw Bai Wanrou's expression, his heart moved slightly, and a flash of light flashed quickly in his eyes.
She came close to Bai Wanrou and said in a comforting tone: "I know what the young lady is worried about. Why don't we go to the study room and see how the prince treats Su Mingjing?"
Hearing this, Bai Wanrou raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why don't you go? They are talking about something, what should I do?"
Unexpectedly, Qingtang refused to give up and continued to persuade: "Hey, miss, let's go and have a look? Then you can say that you care about the prince. They won't drive us away."
Bai Wanrou's eyes flashed, and Lu Zhu suddenly stood up.
She pointed at Qingtang and frowned: "Qingtang! What's the matter with you? The lady said she doesn't want to go, why are you still stalking me!"
"If you want to go, you can go and see it yourself, we're not stopping you!"
Her tone was very bad and she scolded.
Upon hearing these words, Qingtang's expression was stunned.
She looked at Lu Zhu in disbelief: "Lu Zhu? How could you say that to me..."
Her tone was a little aggrieved.
After Luzhu glanced at her fiercely, he turned his head and stopped talking.
But Qingtang realized something was wrong.
How could Luzhu scold himself for no reason before?
Moreover, Miss, she didn't stop Luzhu.
She looked at Lu Zhu's still ugly face, and she felt huge doubts in her heart.
"Miss, what happened to Lu Zhu? Did Qingtang do something wrong?" She looked at Bai Wanrou and said in an aggrieved tone.
Seeing this scene, Bai Wanrou's expression did not change much. She looked at Qingtang with a comforting smile on her face: "It's okay, she's just having her menstruation and is in a bad mood. Don't think too much about it."
After hearing her explanation, Qingtang didn't quite believe it.
Even if Lu Zhu was menstruating, according to her previous temper, she would never talk to her like this.
Is there something between Lu Zhu and the young lady that he is hiding from him?
Or do they know something?
The more Qingtang thought about it, the colder his heart became.
Although she didn't believe Bai Wanrou's explanation, she decided not to pursue it further in order to avoid making them suspicious.
When Lu Zhu heard what Bai Wanrou said to comfort Qingtang just now, she couldn't help but feel slightly dissatisfied.
Since the young lady knows that Qingtang may be the person sent by the master to monitor them, why doesn't the young lady directly expose Qingtang?
He comforted her with such kind words, I feel angry just thinking about it now.
The lady treats Qingtang well, but Qingtang dares to betray the lady!
For a moment, Lu Zhu's face drooped, forming a big "囧".
All this was seen by Bai Qingting on the side.
He secretly glanced at Bai Wanrou anxiously, with a confused look on his face.
Is it possible that Wanrou is already suspicious of Qingtang?
Seeing that the time was almost up, Bai Wanrou quickly arranged for Lu Zhu to prepare meals.
"Brother, please stay today and have a meal with me." She smiled and said to Bai Qingting.
After hearing her words, Bai Qingting nodded and agreed.
Seeing Lu Zhu working alone, Qingtang wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Lu Zhu: "I can do it myself. You go and sweep the yard outside first."
Luzhu said coldly to Qingtang.
Hearing this, Qingtang froze on the spot. Bai Wanrou saw it and smiled at her: "Go ahead, Lu Zhu can do a lot of work alone."
Seeing this, Qingtang had no choice but to reluctantly walk out of the door.
At the dinner table, Bai Qingting thought of Bai Wanrou's behavior of ignoring Qingtang just now, and his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
Sister, is she really doubting Qingtang?
Otherwise, why would she be so defensive about Qingtang?
If this is the case, then Wanrou is really wary of her father.
The more he thought about it, the more sentimental he felt in his heart. His sister didn't even trust his personal maid Qingtang.
Soon, Luzhu put the food on the table.
Bai Wanrou warmly greeted Bai Qingting to sit down and kept picking up food for him.
She saw that Bai Qingting's expression was a little strange, and even his eating movements were a little rough. She was worried that the other person was thinking nonsense again, so she asked worriedly: "What is my brother thinking about? He is so absorbed in thinking that he doesn't even bother to eat the food?"
"
Hearing this, Bai Qingting was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Bai Wanrou's face and wanted to persuade her to trust her father. He would not do anything harmful to his biological daughter.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them out.
He could only shake his head with a worried look on his face, finished his meal in a hurry, and left.
Bai Wanrou looked at Bai Qingting's back, her eyes darkened, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
She did not stop him and allowed Bai Qingting to leave the palace.
Suddenly, the news that Qingtang said about Su Mingjing going to Chen Ruzhi's study came to mind. Bai Wanrou frowned again and opened her lips as if she was hesitant to speak.
Luzhu saw it and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, Miss?"
Hearing this, Bai Wanrou looked at her with an unnatural expression on her face: "You... go to the front yard and ask the prince if he wants to drink ginseng soup."
After saying that, she saw the smiling expression on Lu Zhu's face. For fear of Lu Zhu misunderstanding, she hurriedly explained: "It's just that the ginseng soup was cooked too much. It would be a pity to lose it anyway, so it's better to let him drink it all."
Seeing this, how could Luzhu not understand what she meant?
She immediately smiled and said, "Okay, miss!"
Bai Wanrou frowned and said nothing.
In the study room, the scent of ink filled the room.
Su Mingjing, who was dressed more neatly than other women, walked in and looked at Chen Ruzhi who was writing something seriously behind the desk, with a smile in her eyes.
"See you, Your Majesty," she said.
Hearing this, Chen Ruzhi raised his head, glanced at her lightly, and then continued to write with his head down: "Tell me about what happened on the racecourse."
When Su Mingjing saw his lukewarm attitude toward her, she didn't show any anger on her face.
She glanced at Leng Xuanyue next to her and told Chen Ruzhi everything in detail.
After a long while, after Su Mingjing finished speaking, her mouth felt a little thirsty. She couldn't help but glance at Chen Ruzhi again, but unfortunately the other person didn't look up at her at all, and naturally he didn't know how to ask someone to pour her tea.
She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed on her face.
Leng Xuanyue still had sharp eyes, smiled and handed her a cup of tea.
She took it and said slowly: "What happened to our Su family, I'm afraid the batch of war horses provided by the prince will be postponed."
After hearing what he said, Chen Ruzhi was not surprised at all, as if he had guessed it a long time ago. He dipped in ink and continued writing.
Su Mingjing was silent for a while, then continued: "Also...we hope that you, Your Majesty, can help our Su family and investigate the person behind the murder of the Su family."
After she finished speaking, Chen Ruzhi paused his hands and finally raised his head to look at her: "This is natural. The Su family has always provided war horses for me. Now that something like this happens to you, I will naturally help you."
Hearing this, Su Mingjing's face lit up with joy. She looked deeply at Chen Ruzhi and said, "Your Majesty, is your health feeling better? I came here specially to bring a lot of medicinal materials that are good for your health, and I ask Your Majesty to accept them."
There was worry in her eyes.
But Chen Ruzhi refused without thinking: "My king's health is still much better, and the things are precious. Miss, I'd better take them back."
Seeing this, Su Mingjing no longer insisted, and changed her tone: "Since the prince won't accept the things, then I still have hot springs in the village, so why not give them to the prince."
Before Chen Ruzhi could say anything, Leng Xuanyue on the side couldn't wait to answer: "Okay, then I'll thank Miss Su."
Hearing this, Chen Ruzhi glanced at him. Leng Xuanyue raised her eyebrows: "How about the prince and princess go to the hot springs together?"
"No need, I also have a hot spring in my residence. Thank you very much, Miss, for taking the trouble." Chen Ruzhi gave him a blank look and flatly refused.
