"He Tong!" Xie Suyu looked at Meng Hetong with helplessness on his face, "Are you still resenting me?"
Xu Qingmo suddenly didn't know where to go.
The intention of the seventh prince was clear that he wanted to speak his true feelings to Meng Hetong. It was not suitable for her to stay here.
"Your Highness, I still have something to do. I'm going back first!" Xu Qingmo bowed to Xie Suyu and turned to leave without waiting for his reply.
Just when she turned to leave, her fox fur hat was suddenly grabbed by someone. Xu Qingmo looked back and found Meng Hetong holding her fox fur hat tightly: "Don't leave!"
Xu Qingmo was a little confused, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Let go! I'm going back! Let go quickly!"
"I don't want it!" Meng Hetong held on tightly, his face full of stubbornness.
Xie Suyu looked at Meng Hetong's appearance and sighed helplessly, and then said: "Just stay here, I have nothing to say. I just haven't seen him for a long time and want to talk to him!"
Xie Suyu said what he said, and Xu Qingmo naturally couldn't roll up his sleeves and leave. He could only stand beside him with an unhappy face and listen to what they said.
"You don't even want to see me now?" Xie Suyu said helplessly, looking at Meng Hetong who didn't even look up at him from beginning to end.
Meng Hetong did not answer, and the atmosphere became dull in an instant. Xu Qingmo, who was standing aside, looked uncomfortable.
"I originally thought that based on your temperament, you would not enter the palace no matter what you say today. Unexpectedly, Marquis Ningyuan still has some weight in your heart. He is a man who knows right from wrong. With him here, I can rest assured! "Xie Suyu said softly.
Meng Hetong remained silent.
"I didn't blow up the Hubu Yamen!" Xie Suyu lowered his eyebrows when he said these words.
Xie Suyu had really said these words countless times. The despair of being misunderstood really made him feel aggrieved.
Just when they all thought Meng Hetong couldn't speak, he suddenly said: "I know!"
Xie Suyu's eyes lit up: "You, you believe me?"
"You are a smart man. You would not do such a thing, hurting the enemy by one thousand and damaging yourself by eight hundred!" Meng Hetong raised his head and looked at Xie Suyu, "But Your Highness, my father is dead!"
Xie Suyu's eyes that had just brightened suddenly dimmed again: "He Tong..."
Deathly silence again.
After a while, Xie Suyu said again: "My father and Marquis Yongchang have been friends since they were young. He feels guilty about Marquis Yongchang. He would be very considerate of you! You shouldn't act out of anger!"
"My father has been protecting our family and the country for many years, but in the end he was humiliated like this because of me. I don't resent anyone except myself!" Meng Hetong looked at Xie Suyu and said lightly.
Xie Suyu lowered his eyes and said after a long time: "Meng Hetong, it was me who harmed you..."
Meng Hetong didn't speak anymore, but saluted to the seventh prince, and then turned to leave. Xu Qingmo didn't have time to react, and was left on the spot by him. Just when she was about to leave, the seventh prince stopped her: "Xu Qingmo" girl!"
Xu Qingmo looked up at the seventh prince, a little confused: "Your Highness?"
"Since Yongchang Hou's accident, he hasn't spoken to anyone else for a long time!" Xie Suyu looked at Xu Qingmo and said softly.
"My eldest brother knows him. The fathers of our two families are old friends. That's probably why he talked to us!" Xu Qingmo thought for a while and said lightly.
"I can't help him. If I hadn't always gone to him to play chess, I wouldn't have harmed him. He doesn't want to see me, let alone talk to me. Please take more care of him." Xie Suyu said softly. .
Xu Qingmo didn't want to get involved in this matter, but just to get away, he nodded in agreement: "I understand! Your Highness, it's getting late, I'll go back first."
Xie Suyu knew that he had a special status now, and no matter who he stayed with for a long time, he might cause unreasonable disasters to others, so he didn't try to stay and let Xu Qingmo go back!
When Xu Qingmo returned to the banquet hall, Meng Hetong had not come back yet. She sat down a little gloomily, still feeling suffocated in her heart.
"Who are you angry with, girl?" Hua Ying noticed Xu Qingmo's emotions and asked softly.
"I just met Meng Hetong and the Seventh Prince outside. I was about to leave, but that bastard Meng Hetong stopped me. I stayed with him and listened to the Seventh Prince's words. He just patted his butt and left. I'll be left alone to deal with it!" Xu Qingmo became angrier as he thought about it.
Hua Ying didn't know what exactly happened, but everyone knew that it was related to Meng Hetong and the Seventh Prince.
She suddenly remembered Marquis Ning Yuan's instructions a few days ago: "Girl, the Marquis told us to stay away from the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince!"
"Of course I know." Xu Qingmo snorted angrily, "That man is the prince. He called me, can I still leave?"
Hua Ying thought about it and said nothing more.
Meng Hetong didn't come back until the banquet was over. When he passed by Xu Qingmo, his whole body was filled with chills. He must have been staying outside.
In her previous life, when she met Meng Hetong, he was an ignorant and ignorant playboy. Although she often heard others say that he was a pity, she never knew why.
Now she knows the whole story.
On the way back, Mrs. Xu did not sit with Mrs. Wen again, but went to Xu Qingmo's carriage.
"You are so brave. You dare to go to a brothel alone. You have a daughter who has not yet left the court. You are not afraid of being found out!" Mrs. Xu became very angry when she thought of this matter.
Xu Qingmo knew he was wrong, but he still dared to say anything, lowered his head and listened obediently.
Finally, Marquis Ning Yuan, who was riding outside, spoke up: "It's almost the end of the year and the New Year, so don't scold her anymore!"
Mrs. Xu thinks about it carefully. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. No matter what happens, it happened the year before, so we can't talk about it anymore.
"Don't be so bold again in the future, do you understand?" Mrs. Xu finally warned.
Xu Qingmo nodded quickly: "I promise, there will never be a next time!"
She knew best the temperament of the child she had raised, so Mrs. Xu didn't actually believe Xu Qingmo's assurance, but at the moment, there was no other way but to forget it.
After returning, Xu Qingmo was just about to return to the courtyard when he heard Ning Yuanhou and Xu Yanquan say: "Look at the cold reception the Seventh Prince received today. You know, for so many years, the Seventh Prince has always been His Majesty's favorite prince. !”
