Chapter 783 - 740: Then Let Her Disappear
Someone couldn’t help but think, you sound so sure, maybe the whole thing was just a secret meeting?
However, at times like this, everyone naturally sees through it but says nothing.
If this explanation is true, does it mean that they might have narrowly escaped a disaster?
Wei Jian initially wanted to speak for Huangfu Yuxuan, but seeing that Zhao Hua had already exonerated Huangfu Yuxuan, he was very satisfied.
His grandfather was Huangfu Yuxuan’s maternal grandfather. Back when Prince Liang was still the Crown Prince, they all perceived that Prince Liang was unfit for significant responsibilities, and the eldest son, Huangfu Hongyi, was also a good-for-nothing. So, his grandfather and father began supporting Huangfu Yuxuan early on. Although he was a playboy, he knew all of this.
Back then, his grandfather and father even searched for a suitable marriage partner for Huangfu Yuxuan, listing the unmarried women in the Capital City, with Zhao Keyan being at the top of the list. It was just that Huangfu Yuxuan hadn’t agreed, and thus the matter had been delayed.
Unexpectedly, despite the twists of fate, everything was still progressing according to the initial plan.
After such an incident, Zhao Keyan could only marry Huangfu Yuxuan. In any case, the man wouldn’t be at a disadvantage, so he naturally welcomed the outcome.
However, someone still muttered quietly, "Didn’t we hear that the Second Young Master and the Prime Minister’s niece, Miss Xia, were engaged? Now that this has happened, what will happen to Miss Xia?"
Just a few days ago, rumors quietly spread in the Capital City that the Second Young Master of the Prince Liang Mansion and the Prime Minister Xia’s niece had long been engaged. Prince Liang had even gone personally to the Xia Mansion to discuss the matter with the Prime Minister Xia’s brother, and they were just short of getting married!
But now, the Second Young Master and Miss Zhao were embracing each other.
The person who said this was shocked by their own words.
Immediately, someone pulled them aside and told them to be silent.
Saying such things at a time like this, wasn’t that just asking for trouble?

Huangfu Yuxuan’s lowered eyelids were filled with sharpness. This rumor was naturally spread by him. With such a rumor, even if someone saw them embracing today, it would still be seen as a small romance between a couple who were in love.
But if it were someone else, everything would be different.
It felt like everything was ready, only for a west wind instead of the expected east one. It was truly speechless.
Just the day before yesterday, he had met with Xia Wenjin. However, that was because Xia Wenjin had heard those rumors and knew it was he who sent people to spread them, scolding him for being shameless.
He once said to Xia Wenjin, "Wenjin, my feelings for you are as clear as day, and I’m determined to have you. You say I’m shameless because I love too deeply. To be with you, even if it means being shameless, I accept it!"
If it weren’t for Xia Wenjin’s attitude...
Indeed, at that time, Xia Wenjin coldly looked at him, eyes as cold as ice, and said, "Huangfu Yuxuan, you can give up. I would rather die than marry you."
Therefore, he resorted to such extreme measures!
But now, the situation seemed even worse.
He raised his head and solemnly said to Princess Ning, "Aunt, for such a thing to happen in the Prince Ning Mansion is truly unbelievable. I don’t know if the person plotting behind the scenes intended to plot against me, or against Miss Zhao, or someone else. But Miss Zhao and I have become innocent victims, so I ask you, Aunt, to thoroughly investigate this matter! Do justice for me and for Miss Zhao!"
Princess Ning was taken aback. Wasn’t this a play he directed himself? Now he was clearing himself while handing the blame to the Prince Ning Mansion!
What did this mean?
Was it saying that the Prince Ning Mansion was lenient in disciplining its own people, or was it suggesting that someone in the Prince Ning Mansion had ill intentions towards him?
Seeing through his facade.
Princess He Ye originally thought that mistakes could lead to fortuitous outcomes, making things even better, but seeing the Second Young Master’s tone and attitude, it was clearly not right. There was no happiness in his eyes, only frustration and anger.
Was it because she had messed things up?
He wanted his mother to thoroughly investigate the Prince Ning Mansion, which surely meant investigating her!
If anyone found out that she did such a thing, who would dare to be friends with her in the future? Who would dare to approach her? As a dignified Commandery Princess, she would be infamous!
Thinking of this, she looked imploringly towards Princess Ning.
Princess Ning, in her silent complaints, seemed to sense something, and turned her head, just in time to see the pleading eyes of her treasured daughter. She couldn’t help but be startled, look at her daughter, then at Huangfu Yuxuan, and suddenly realized.
