859 Secret (6)
Mrs. Su also said, “That’s right, that’s right. Minglang, get your brother to teach you how to write or let him play with you for a while. Don’t let him be idle.”
Su Minglang glanced at his parents and said in an adultlike voice, “Do you want me to persuade Brother not to be sad about Sister Shen’s marriage?”
Su Yu and Mrs. Su were speechless.
Su Minglang glanced at the light in the study and said, “The two of us have something to say to each other. If there’s nothing else, Father and Mother, you can leave first. I won’t let Brother drown himself in the river.”
After being stunned for a while, Mrs. Su said, “Thank you, Minglang.”
Su Minglang walked towards Su Mingfeng’s study. He pushed open the door with difficulty and saw Su Mingfeng sitting at the desk, looking a little anxious and fluttered. These days, he had always been like this.
Su Minglang climbed onto the chair very close to Su Mingfeng and sat down properly. Then, he looked at Su Mingfeng and said, “Brother, if you like her, go and fight for her.”
Su Mingfeng was confused.
“As your brother, I will definitely support you. Since you like Miss Shen, snatch her over. Anyway, compared to that prince, you’re much better.” Su Minglang encouraged him with a serious expression.
Only then did Su Mingfeng understand what Su Minglang was talking about. Su Mingfeng laughed and shook his head. “What does it have to do with me who she marries?”
“Then why are you sad?” Su Minglang asked in confusion, “Don’t you like Sister Shen anymore?”
“Don’t listen to Mother. When have I ever liked her?”
“But you even sent someone to secretly investigate Sister Shen.” Su Minglang complained, “If that doesn’t mean you like her, then what it is?”
Su Mingfeng shook his head. “I didn’t do it because I like her. It’s just that…” He suddenly paused, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.
Su Minglang looked at him. “Brother, you’re really strange now.”
“Minglang.” Su Mingfeng suddenly asked, “Do you still remember Xie Jingxing from the Marquis of Lin’an?”
“Brother Xie?” Su Minglang said, “Of course I remember him. Isn’t he your best friend? Back then, you said that Brother Xie went to a far place and would never come back. You asked me not to mention him in the future. Why did you mention him today? Brother, has Brother Xie returned to the capital?”
Su Mingfeng shook his head. “No.” He asked, “Do you also think he’s my best friend?”
“Of course.” Su Minglang said, “Although Brother Xie is very scary and always bullies me, he treats me very well.”
Su Mingfeng fell silent.
Su Minglang looked at him curiously. “Did you quarrel with Brother Xie?”
Su Mingfeng stood up. “No, I’m going out for a while. Minglang, stay here and don’t go anywhere.”
The darkness of the night in the capital covered everything. In the princess’s mansion and Earl of Pingnan’s mansion, a storm that was enough to destroy everything was brewing.
In Prince Ding’s mansion, Fu Xiuyi sat at the head of the table.
He looked a little haggard, making his handsome appearance less charming. Some time ago, the dungeon was burned to the ground, and Fu Xiuyi almost smashed everything in the entire bedroom. He was furious, and the news that followed made him even angrier. Pei Lang’s corpse was not in the dungeon.
Obviously, Pei Lang had been brought away. It was obvious that this fire was set by the person who came to save Pei Lang.
Fu Xiuyi was determined to find out who did it. He thought that it was someone from the Shen family, but in the end, it turned out that it had nothing to do with the Shen family.
One could imagine how angry Fu Xiuyi was.
Tomorrow was Shen Miao and Prince Rui’s wedding. After tomorrow, Shen Miao would go to the Daliang Dynasty with Prince Rui, so there was no time to find out Prince Rui’s secret. Seeing that the opportunity was slipping away, how could Fu Xiuyi not be indignant.
At this moment, the guard Fu Xiuyi sent to investigate came in from outside and bowed to Fu Xiuyi. Then, he said, “Your Highness, there’s something going on in the princess’s mansion and the Earl of Pingnan’s mansion.”
Fu Xiuyi’s eyes lit up and he said, “What is it?”
The guard took two steps closer and leaned down to whisper something into Fu Xiuyi’s ear. Then, Fu Xiuyi was shocked for a moment before looking overjoyed.
“The heavens are helping me! Immediately send someone to follow the two of them. Don’t let anything go.”
The guard accepted the order and left. Fu Xiuyi leaned back in his chair and slowly smiled smugly.
“Prince Rui, Princess Rong Xin, the Earl of Pingnan, and Shen Miao.” He said, “I want to see what shameful secrets you are hiding.”
