Chapter 148 Suspicion
Ling Feng had no idea that he was not only jealous because Chuntao and Hu Quan were hugging each other, but more because of jealousy.
He took the initiative to hug Hu Quan, and smiled at Hu Quan's eyes...
"You..." Chuntao was speechless.
"What do you care? I let anyone hug me, but you are the only one." Chun Tao's eyes turned red with anger, and she ran away.
Hu Quan is her brother. Although they are not related by blood, Hu Quan always treats her as his sister.
Moreover, Hu Quan already has someone he likes in his heart, so it is impossible for him to have any other thoughts about her.
Ling Feng was so angry at Chun Tao's words that he was shaking all over. When he saw Chun Tao running away, he was too lazy to pay any attention to her and just stood aside sulking.
In the study, Shen Jingxuan leaned on the couch and read the book in her hand.
Xie Lingxiao sat at the desk, looking up at Shen Jingxuan from time to time, feeling that the years were peaceful.
Thinking of the information Ling Feng had found out, Xie Lingxiao went to sit down beside the couch.
Shen Jingxuan slid slightly and lay on Xie Lingxiao's legs, with her eyebrows raised.
Xie Lingxiao leaned over and kissed Shen Jingxuan's forehead: "Let me tell you something."
"What could make our Axiao so serious?" Shen Jingxuan teased.
Our Ah Xiao? It must be said that Shen Jingxuan's words pleased Xie Lingxiao.
Xie Lingxiao placed another kiss on Shen Jingxuan's cherry lips, paused for a moment, and then stood up: "Well, Xuan'er's mouth is really sweet today."
He looked at Shen Jingxuan with affectionate eyes and a gentle smile.
Shen Jingxuan said angrily, "Hurry up and tell me what happened."
"Okay." Xie Lingxiao responded.
Seeing Shen Jingxuan's pretty face flushed and her eyes lowered shyly, Xie Lingxiao felt a little itchy in his heart.
He stared away and said, "Ling Feng found out that He Jun did participate in your father's battle and was also involved."
After being shocked, Shen Jingxuan slowly sat up and asked, "Are there others?"
Involved? Then he could be the mastermind, or an accomplice?
How come his father went to guard the border, but so many people hated him and even conspired to murder him?
It was in vain that he abandoned his elderly parents, wife and children just to protect Beiling Kingdom from foreign invasion.
It was in vain that he put all his passion into protecting the well-being of the people.
"Marquis Anguo is Lu Zhenyu's uncle, and He Jun is Xie Zihan's cousin." Xie Lingxiao said.
Shen Jingxuan frowned slightly: "Do you suspect it has something to do with them?"
"Why did the Queen and Xie Zihan do this?"
"At the beginning, I was engaged to Xie Zihan. If he married me, he would have an extra helper. Why did they give up this helper?"
Shen Jingxuan asked the questions that were weighing on his mind one by one, waiting for Xie Lingxiao to answer them for him.
"Xuan'er, have you ever thought about this? Maybe your father rejected their request?"
"Although it is not easy to get this help, what if I can't use it?"
Xie Lingxiao guided her step by step, and Shen Jingxuan suddenly understood.
Yes, Daddy is such an upright man, if he is asked to do something that goes against his principles, he will definitely not agree.
For those in a higher position, if a person cannot be used for their own benefit, they will not give him the opportunity to be used by others.
Then the only way is to get rid of him.
At least that way, the two sides can still maintain a delicate balance.
Shen Jingxuan's eyes were slightly red and watery, and he choked up and said, "Are you sure the Queen and Xie Zihan are involved?"
If she is sure, she will be prepared and will never let them live freely and comfortably.
"Not yet. I'll let Ling Feng continue to investigate." Xie Lingxiao held Shen Jingxuan in his arms and patted her back gently.
In Xie Lingxiao's eyes, Shen Jingxuan appears strong on the outside but is extremely fragile on the inside.
The huge burden of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was shouldered by a girl like her, so how could she dare to be fragile?
But things will be different now. With him, she will not let anyone bully her.
Xie Lingxiao held Shen Jingxuan in his arms and spoke softly, coaxing her patiently, as if warming Shen Jingxuan like the spring sunshine.
After Shen Jingxuan slowly calmed down, the two of them snuggled up to each other and quietly enjoyed the rare tranquility.
As the sun set in the west, Shen Jingxuan left with Chuntao in Xie Lingxiao's reluctant eyes.
"Miss, Guizhi sent a message saying that Shen Jinghuan is recovered." Chuntao leaned close to Shen Jingxuan and whispered.
Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "So fast?"
It only took a few days for the injury to heal, which made Shen Jingxuan think that Shen Jinghuan's injury was not that serious.
It's not to the point of being on the verge of death as Guizhi said.
Upon closer thought, it is impossible that Guizhi is lying.
The only explanation is that Shen Jinghuan's vitality is as tenacious as that of a cockroach.
Chuntao became interested and said with a smile: "It's not fast, Guizhi said she saw her walking in the yard, and she looked healthy."
Of course she is good. With her cousin looking after her closely, how could her complexion be bad?
Judging from the way Li Xu favors Shen Jinghuan, Shen Jinghuan would only recover so quickly if he has taken care of everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation.
If things continue like this, I wonder if Shen Jinghuan will lose control and put a green hat on Xie Zihan.
Sometimes Shen Jingxuan is quite envious of Shen Jinghuan.
After all, there is someone behind her who still loves her silently and gives everything for her no matter how many wrong things she does.
I just don't know if Shen Jinghuan will regret his original choice when he finally wakes up.
Shen Jingxuan doesn't care whether Shen Jinghuan is safe or not.
Her existence was only to make her suffer and relieve Guizhi's hatred.
"Look at you, Chuntao, you've become a bad person." Shen Jingxuan teased.
Chuntao has a lively personality to begin with, and now she has even learned to laugh at other people.
"Miss, I just can't stand Shen Jinghuan's appearance."
"For some reason, knowing that she is not doing well makes me happier than marrying a perfect husband."
Chuntao's words touched Shen Jingxuan's heart.
Shen Jingxuan remembered every bad thing Shen Jinghuan had done.
It's time for her to experience the consequences of her own efforts.
Just as Chuntao said.
The most gratifying thing is that your enemies are not doing well.
Shen Jingxuan patted Chuntao lightly and said, "Has our Tao found her ideal husband?"
"Is it Brother Hu Quan or Brother Ling Feng?"
Since returning home that day, she has never seen Hu Quan again.
Ling Feng was seen quite often, but with his dull mind, it would probably be a long time before he could get Chun Tao's nod.
When Chuntao heard Shen Jingxuan's words, her cheeks instantly turned red.
"Miss, don't talk nonsense. Brother Hu Quan treats me as his sister."
Shen Jingxuan continued to ask: "Is that Brother Lingfeng?"
"That scoundrel, I would rather marry a pig than him." Chun Tao said angrily.
Hearing these familiar words, Shen Jingxuan's mouth twitched.
It seems that she should be more careful with her words in the future, so as not to lead Chuntao astray.
"Miss, let's go quickly." Chuntao pulled Shen Jingxuan towards the crowd.
Shen Jingxuan didn't have time to think about it, and was dragged by Chuntao and staggered a few steps, almost falling.
