Chapter 570: Chapter 572 Hearing a Little Secret
Zhao Yuebei ca over with the herbs and, seeing the reluctance in everyone’s eyes, advised, “You really don’t plan to reveal your true feelings to her? If you don’t speak up now, you might never have a chance again?”
“What good would telling do? Her mind won’t change, and our relationship can only beco estranged. Protecting her as a family mber might not be such a bad outco.”
Yun Qian lifted his gaze to Zhao Yuebei. Many things were well understood by everyone; hiding them was far better than piercing through that thin veil of pretense.
Shao He walked out of Anji Hall, the warm sunlight bathing her, as if the whole world was filled with warmth.
In the past, she would always maintain a distance from everything, unwilling to trust anyone. Now, she had let go of the obsessions in her heart.
Shao He took a deep breath and headed toward her ho, only to hear a quarrel up ahead as soon as she turned the corner.
Shao He paused her steps to listen carefully, recognizing the woman’s voice as familiar.
“Please, let go, I really don’t know anything.”
“Let you go? That’s not what you said before. You said you knew a lot about Shao He, and that you had many secrets to tell , didn’t you?”
“I, I… I was lying to you.”
The crisp sound of a slap rang out, and Shao He slightly leaned in to peek.
As expected, she saw Pei Jingyi and Liang Weishuang together; she hadn’t expected the two of them to get involved.
Liang Weishuang was knocked to the ground, covering her cheek and trembling as she backed away.
She wondered how Shao He could be so lucky, not only becoming a favorite of the Emperor but also the Crown Princess Consort, and potentially the future Empress.
She wouldn’t dare offend her, yet who would have thought that Pei Jingyi would rember their past conversation and insist on her revealing her own secrets—secrets she had no knowledge of, just a bunch of made-up nonsense.
Pei Jingyi closed in step by step, grabbing her throat and threatening, “If I don’t hear what I want today, you know what the consequences will be.”
“I don’t know what you want to hear, wouldn’t it be better for the person involved to tell you?” Shao He said with a smile, arms crossed, leaning against the wall as she watched Pei Jingyi.
“How co you’re here?” Pei Jingyi glared at her angrily, increasing the pressure of his grip.
Liang Weishuang winced in pain, struggling and calling for help.
“Let go, or don’t bla for being rude to you,” Shao He said evenly, yet her gaze was chilling and terrifying as she stared at Pei Jingyi.
Pei Jingyi snorted coldly and said to Liang Weishuang, “You better keep quiet, or don’t bla for not being polite.”
After saying that, he released his grip and launched an attack on Shao He.
Shao He quickly sidestepped, grabbed Pei Jingyi’s wrist, and forcefully twisted it.
Liang Weishuang lay on the ground coughing in a sorry state, her eyes filled with terror; she didn’t want to die, absolutely did not.
“Cough, cough, Shao He, save , save , I don’t want to die.” Liang Weishuang crawled and threw herself at Shao He.
“Get lost!” Shao He pushed Liang Weishuang away in disgust.
Pei Jingyi took this opportunity to break free, his eyes dark and ominous as he looked at her, “Crown Princess Consort, I’m looking forward to your wedding with the Crown Prince, I hope it goes as planned.”
Shao He rolled her eyes and said lazily, “As if I’d be scared of you.”
Pei Jingyi stood up, looking down at her with disdain, “We’ll see.”
Having said that, he left with a flick of his sleeve.
Shao He shrugged indifferently and looked at Liang Weishuang, “Get up.”
Liang Weishuang shakily stood up, hanging her head low and following cautiously beside Shao He.
Shao He glanced at her and asked, “What happened?”
Liang Weishuang whispered, “I didn’t an to harm you, I didn’t say anything.”
Shao He furrowed her brows; she wasn’t afraid of her secrets being known, but Pei Jingyi’s eagerness for the wedding made her sowhat puzzled.
Could it be that he was planning sothing for the wedding?
Seeing that Shao He remained silent for a long ti, Liang Weishuang nervously called out, “Doctor Shao?”
Shao He snapped back to reality, looked at her curiously, and asked, “You know my secret?”
Liang Weishuang hastily shook her head and waved her hands, “No, no, you don’t have any secrets.”
Shao He raised an eyebrow at her, “No secrets?”
“Yes, no secrets,” Liang Weishuang nodded vigorously, as if afraid to be silenced if she were a mont too slow.
Shao He shrugged her shoulders, not bothering to inquire further. She didn’t like explaining herself to strangers, especially those who were inexplicably involved.
“Stay out of trouble and you might have a chance to live; otherwise, be careful or you won’t even know how you die. The Capital is very chaotic now, so take good care of yourself.”
After saying that, Shao He disappeared into the alleyway.
Liang Weishuang watched her departing figure with envy, wondering why she didn’t have the fortune of Shao He, to et such an outstanding man.
Despite such thoughts, she knew the Marquis of Wuan’s Mansion would not easily let her leave, and seeking freedom would be even harder.
When Shao He returned ho, Qingxia and Qing Shan ca forward, relieved to see her safe and sound.
“Miss, it’s good you’re safe. These past few days, young master has been crying and looking for you, it’s only thanks to the Crown Prince that he was able to sleep soundly,” Qing Shan said.
Xiao Linzhang rushed into Shao He’s arms and clung tightly, refusing to let go.
“Mother can’t abandon !”
Shao He picked up Xiao Linzhang and walked towards the courtyard.
“Alright, mother will never abandon you.”
