Chapter 165 Are You in Love?

"Cousin, are you inside?"

Zhang Miaoyun's voice came from outside the room. Qin Qionghua quickly composed herself and said, "Go down. Don't tell anyone what just happened."

He then hinted to Hongxing, who was standing nearby, to send the person away and give her some money to keep quiet.

As Zhang Miaoyun walked to the door, she saw a servant with his head down walking out, and she couldn't help but frown.

My cousin is really something, letting just anyone in.

Despite her thoughts, she quickly composed herself and went inside: "Cousin, what are you doing?"

Qin Qionghua remained seated, looking at her, and said, "It's nothing. Didn't my cousin say she wanted to rest early? Why are you here so late?"

Because they were cousins, Zhang Miaoyun had been staying in Qin Qionghua's courtyard for the past few days, which resulted in her having no sense of boundaries and coming and going as she pleased, rendering the maids in Qin Qionghua's courtyard practically useless.

Although Qin Qionghua was unhappy, she knew that her uncle had come to help her mother, so she didn't say anything.

Her words only made things worse, as they caused Zhang Miaoyun's face to darken instantly. She scolded, "Cousin, you're really something! I already asked Auntie, and you didn't tell her about Qin Sangsang at all! Cousin, why are you covering for that bitch?"

Qin Qionghua's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly asked, "You told Mother?"

The volume was so loud that Zhang Miaoyun was startled and instinctively denied it: "No, no, I just found out and came to ask you. I haven't told my aunt yet..."

As she spoke, she frowned: "Why are you getting angry? I was only asking because I wanted to help you!"

Qin Qionghua knew her cousin was impulsive and thoughtless, so she didn't dare to offend her. She quickly softened her voice to soothe her: "Of course I'm not blaming you. I just thought that the man we saw today was obviously not ordinary, and we didn't have any evidence. If we told our parents like this, what if our third sister denied it and turned around and accused us?"

Although she verbally comforted her cousin, Qin Qionghua was thinking:
If her father finds out beforehand, he will be furious and bring Qin Sangsang back, forcibly separating the two lovers.

So who is she?
Help her change her ways? Dream on!
"That makes some sense. Cousin, you've thought things through very well."

Zhang Miaoyun nodded, not doubting that her cousin was lying to her.

Although she lived in the Prime Minister's residence, neither Qin Qionghua nor Zhang Shi told her about Qin Sangsang being favored by the Crown Prince.

"Hmph, catching people red-handed, that kind of slut should be drowned in a pig cage!"

After angrily berating Qin Su, Zhang Miaoyun suddenly smiled knowingly and said, "Cousin~"

Sensing the change in Du Ai's attitude, Qin Qionghua maintained her smile but was inwardly on high alert: "What's wrong?"

"What? What happened?"

Zhang Miaoyun walked over and gently nudged her cousin: "When will you take me to see the heir of the Duke of Jin?"

I heard from Father that he was the one who helped spread the word about Aunt's situation; she really does like you.

Seeing the girl's deliberately flirtatious manner, Qin Qionghua felt a pang of jealousy.

My cousin and my fourth sister look so alike; they both receive special favor from their parents, and even my second uncle tells them about this.

Qin Qionghua lowered her eyes, concealing the emotions within them: "The young master is injured and has been recuperating these past few days. If you wish to see him, I will take you once he is feeling better."

Zhang Miaoyun disagreed: "Since he's injured, shouldn't you take this opportunity to show him more concern?"

Qin Qionghua was getting a little annoyed and wanted to say that she had already been there, but they couldn't agree on anything, and then she heard:
"He came to visit you a lot when you were sick. You don't have to be as indifferent as him, but you shouldn't be too cold towards him, otherwise what if he..."

“You’re right,” Qin Qionghua suddenly thought of something, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

Yes, she's not suited to expose this, but someone else is.

Why didn't she think of that?
With her childhood sweetheart Murong Jing and this random stranger who appeared out of nowhere... if these two start a fight and things get out of hand, no matter how much her father tries to hide it, Qin Sangsang won't be able to escape!

Zhang Miaoyun thought her cousin had taken her words to heart and said smugly, "Right? I told you, cousin, you're too reserved. If you like someone, you should take the initiative and let the man feel your goodness..."

However, after talking for a while, she noticed that her cousin hadn't said anything, so she couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, what's wrong? Why do you look so engrossed?"

Qin Qionghua snapped out of her reverie: "I was wondering, how did Sangsang, who has been staying at home all these years, come to know that masked man?"

Zhang Miaoyun: "Huh?"
-
"You look great, all radiant. Are you in love?"

Upon finding himself once again in a mysterious space, and seeing the woman opposite him, Chu Jiang discovered that he wasn't particularly surprised.

However, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face opposite him, he still felt a little uncomfortable and spoke coldly:
When will you get your face changed?

Although his tone was still harsh, only he knew that he no longer felt the same disgust when he spoke.

Qin Su raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Simple, when you start liking another face, I'll..."

The tyrant's face darkened, his eyes filled with a clear warning and threat.

Qin Su was very "sensible" and decisively stopped teasing him, abandoning the topic.

"Okay, it seems you don't like it."

She smiled and shrugged, then with a flick of her wrist, a cup of freshly brewed tea was handed to the man opposite her: "So, is there anything you'd like to share with me about this meeting?"

Chu Jiang caught the teacup that slid onto the table, gave a lukewarm smile, but did not answer the woman's question.

Qin Su wasn't angry when she saw this; she knew what kind of person that scoundrel was anyway.

If they don't want to talk, then so be it. I have other plans for today anyway.

As she spoke, she gently swiped her tablet, flipping through prepared video clips in preparation for playback.

Just then, the man suddenly spoke up: "You've seen him?"

Qin Su paused in her actions, looked up, and asked, "Which 'him' are you talking about?"

Chu Jiang looked into her eyes, his gaze filled with a hint of mockery and certainty: "I haven't shown up for so long, I don't believe you haven't seen him."

Qin Su feigned realization: "So you're talking about His Highness the Crown Prince."

Chu Jiang's fingers tightened slightly, and he sneered, "Your acting is terrible."

Qin Su remained noncommittal: "Yes, I have seen him. What's wrong?"

Even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt a strange, indescribable emotion when he actually heard the woman say it.

Faced with the woman's curious gaze, Chu Jiang did not speak, but simply looked at her coldly.

Qin Su looked at it for a long time but couldn't find any flaws. She could only smile regretfully and continue to smile: "If you want to talk about him, that's not impossible."

Chu Jiang remained silent; this woman was more difficult to deal with than anyone he knew.
