The two of them were full of affection and only had eyes for each other when they met. However, Su Yao was greatly hurt by them. Thinking that Wang Yuerong's teasing just now might have been heard by Xiao Heng, for some reason, she felt a skip in her heart and felt a little uneasy and at a loss as to what to do.
Su Rong quickly reacted, coughed, and then explained to Wang Yuerong and Su Yao: "I was planning to bring His Highness here to see the seals in my collection..."
When several people met together, Su Yao felt as if his face was on fire, and he felt uncomfortable everywhere afterwards.
It was Mrs. He who noticed that something was wrong with Su Yao.
Su Yao had been by her side for several years. They were more like friends than grandparents. They could talk about anything. Seeing that Su Yao had become silent every time she saw Xiao Heng, Mrs. He specially picked a time when they were alone to ask her, "Yaoyao, you seem to be a little different to His Highness recently."
Su Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Mrs. He in panic, and quickly denied: "No..."
Her voice became lower and lower, and she felt a little guilty, so she just sighed and told Mrs. He the truth: "Grandma, I don't know what's wrong with me. I..."
It seemed that she couldn't face Xiao Heng calmly.
This is also what makes her very panic.
Mrs. He frowned, subconsciously feeling a little worried. Any difference meant that she cared. She looked at Su Yao solemnly for a long time.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind, and in the end, Mrs. He just laughed softly: "What's the big deal? Girls at your age naturally care about their reputation the most. His Highness saw you with your hair disheveled, so you naturally felt embarrassed. It will get better after a while."
She said it lightly, and the inexplicable panic in Su Yao's heart immediately found a reason to rest, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s okay if it’s not, it’s okay if it’s not.
The vague thoughts in Su Yao's mind were blown away by the wind.
She couldn't help but agree softly in her heart, yes, it was just because Xiao Heng himself was different. He was different to her in the last life, and he was different to her in this life.
So it is normal that she is particularly respectful to the person who saved her from danger in past and present lives and cannot lose face in front of him.
After suppressing that thought, Su Yao returned to his usual calmness and composure.
Mrs. He touched her hair with a smile, but her heart sank to the bottom. After coming out of Su Yao's room, she thought carefully and went to the front yard to find Xiao Heng who had not yet said goodbye.
Xiao Heng was telling Su Rong about Cui Yuandao. With their instigation, Cui Yuandao's relationship with Princess Fenyang had reached a freezing point, and the two sides were at loggerheads.
Su Rong was quite happy to have his revenge. He sneered and said bluntly, "In order to avoid any accidents, we didn't drag them into the fight against the Xu family. But we all know that they have contributed a lot. Now that the Xu family and Qi Yunxi have fallen, they will naturally gather the remaining forces. If Cui Yuandao is allowed to enter the cabinet and become the prime minister, we will have to collect our own bodies someday."
As he was talking, he suddenly saw Mrs. He come in, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why is my wife here?"
Mrs. He stood at the door and looked at Xiao Heng with a smile: "I am here to see Your Highness. I have something to say to Your Highness."
Su Rong said "oh" and gave up his seat very spontaneously: "Then I'll go to the backyard to take a look first."
After Su Rong left, Xiao Heng stood up and saw Mrs. He wanted to salute, so he quickly stopped her.
"Etiquette cannot be abolished." Madam He insisted on completing the ceremony, and said with a hint of meaning: "Although His Highness is approachable, his status is here, His Highness is His Highness, and we should be careful about our duties as subjects."
Su Rong stood opposite Mrs. He, his eyes fell on Mrs. He's half-smiley face, and he immediately understood the meaning of Mrs. He's words. He coughed and said, "Mrs. He, this identity is just an identity to me. Apart from it, I am also an ordinary person."
"But His Highness has this status." Mrs. He interrupted him and shook her head unceremoniously: "Your Highness has a noble status. A son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall. You should not come in person in the future. If there is something, you can just ask someone to pass it on. Especially... I heard that His Highness went into the inner house last time. Although His Highness is not distracted and Xiaoyao is not a shy person, it is still necessary to avoid suspicion when a man and a woman are alone. Your Highness is a smart man and should know what I mean."
Mrs. He's expression was serious and her tone was earnest. Xiao Heng also looked solemn. He paused for a moment before saying, "I know what you mean. I was wrong last time. No matter what, Miss Su is a woman. I was not thoughtful enough."
After he finished speaking, he saw Mrs. He raised her eyebrows, and then he said, "But Mrs. He said one thing wrong. I am not distracted, I am sincere."
Mrs. He just guessed that Xiao Heng came so frequently because he had some ulterior motives, so she planned to come and give him a warning so that he would give up the idea. However, she didn't expect that before she could say anything harsh, Xiao Heng had already admitted that he had other intentions.
The worry has come true. Madam He interrupted immediately, "Your Highness, the Qi family is not an equal. I believe you understand this story better than me. No matter what you think, Yaoyao must not enter the palace. I don't need to tell you about her personality. Your Highness knows that she can't tolerate any sand in her eyes. Even my sister, your grandmother, the Empress Dowager, who is generous, lives on thin ice in the palace. What about Yaoyao? I have said all. Your Highness, please don't come here again."
After she finished speaking, she didn't give Xiao Heng a chance to speak and hurried out of the yard. Even when she met Su Rong, she just nodded with a sullen face.
Su Rong was puzzled. When he saw Xiao Heng in the hall, he asked him, "What's wrong with my wife? She doesn't look very happy."
Xiao Heng hummed, then sat on the chair and said calmly, "Because Mrs. He told me not to come again."
Su Rong was confused, and obviously had not expected this to happen. He felt a little strange: "What's the reason?"
Mrs. He has always had a good impression of Xiao Heng, and now it is clear that both the Su and He families are on Xiao Heng's side. Why would Mrs. He suddenly warn Xiao Heng not to come to the Su family again
Su Rong realized it later, and Xiao Heng turned his head and looked at him with clear eyes and said, "Because I like Miss Su, Mrs. He doesn't like me very much."
Su Rong had just taken a sip of tea when he was caught off guard by the words and immediately spat out a mouthful of tea. (To be continued)
