C176 Investigate Consort

It was a little boring not to go out for a few days, but a few days ago, she had been punished by the empress dowager for going out. As a result, she did not plan to go out.

However, there were always some people who appeared to be extremely annoying. It was unknown whether or not they had some sort of relationship in their past life that led to them going against each other.

Looking at the pavilion, there was a girl in a dress. It was Liu Chugrong.

At this time, Liu Chugrong also noticed her, and his eyes turned sinister. He clenched his fingers tightly and stared in Shen Qingwan's direction, like a leopard ready to attack at any time.

Seeing her like this, Shen Qingwan felt very bored. The grudge from her father's generation all the way to her generation could be considered a grudge from generation to generation. However, she didn't like this kind of scheming and scheming, so if she wanted to hide, she had to. However, trouble always seemed to come knocking, forcing her to counterattack.

"Sigh …" Sighing lightly, he tidied up his clothes and slightly shook his head while looking at Liu Chugrong. Now that he was here, why would he need to hide?

"Elder sister, you're in a good mood today. Are you here to admire the flowers as well?" Shen Qingwan took a step forward and spoke first. She didn't want to hit a smiling person, but the person in front of her clearly wasn't someone who cared about these things.

When Liu Chugrong saw Shen Qingwan, his eyes were like blazing fire. His heart was also filled with anger, "Who wants to be like you?" He opened his mouth and spoke sarcastically with his chin slightly raised. It could even be said that he was looking down from the top.

Shen Qingwan knitted her brows, obviously unhappy with her words. However, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly stood up.

"Ya, it's true. Look at my memory, I forgot that my sister is still standing." Saying that, she pulled Shen Qingwan down to sit, her expression appearing much more gentle.

This unusual action of his naturally attracted Shen Qingwan's attention. She was extremely suspicious of her actions. There must be something wrong if things happened too often. She didn't know what Liu Chugrong was planning. She had originally thought that he might be plotting something, but when she turned around and saw Fu Yuheng, who was standing not far away, she understood. So it was just a show for him to see?

Shen Qingwan felt that it was funny, but then she realized that Liu Xiugrong was different from before. If it was before, she would most likely not care about Fu Yuheng being present. But now, the speed at which she changed her expression was so fast that it left one speechless.

"Elder sister's eyesight has become quite good." As expected, her expression changed, but she still maintained her gentle appearance.

"Little sister must be joking. I'm just afraid that I'll be tired. Little sister, don't think too much." Liu Chu Rong's face was a little stiff, he did not expect to be exposed so quickly, but when he thought of the note Fu Huaiyu gave her, he still tried his best to maintain his image in front of Fu Yuheng.

He covered his mouth and laughed. Although Liu Chugrong was a shrewd and arrogant man, it was obvious that he was not very shrewd. He might have been taught a lesson by someone else. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted like this.

Suddenly, he recalled that Fu Yuheng had just regained her position as imperial concubine a while ago. The gaze he used to look at her became more and more probing.

"The two concubines are in a good mood today." Fu Yuheng walked over from a short distance away. He could naturally hear the conversation between the two, and he noticed that they seemed to be getting along quite well. A smile appeared on his face.

"Why has the Emperor come today?" Liu Chu Rong smiled bashfully, his eyes full of love.

"I'm tired today, so I came out to relax." He pulled up his robe and sat down as well. As he answered Liu Chugrong, his gaze would occasionally look at Shen Qingwan.

Liu Chugrong also noticed it. She was a bit unhappy, but she tried not to show it on the surface. Her pretty face was a little twisted.

Shen Qingwan only focused on her movements. She was rather interested in why she had become like this, and was thus ignored by Fu Yuheng.

"Is sister tired?" Liu Chugrong sounded worried, seemingly very concerned about her body. However, she was the only one who knew the real meaning behind it.

"Right." Shen Qingwan nodded her head before getting up. "The emperor is chatting with my elder sister. Your concubine is feeling a little tired, so I'll be going back to rest first." Ignoring his surprised gaze, she bowed and left.

After she left, Liu Chugrong felt a lot more relaxed. She even smiled at him.

After Shen Qingwan returned to her room, she had always been considering the reason behind Liu Chugrong's actions. However, no matter what, she couldn't figure it out, so she decided to go to her yard to have a look.

As for Liu Chugrong, he chatted with Fu Yuheng for a while. Since he still had matters to attend to, he left and returned to his courtyard.

At that moment, the palace maid came in and handed a piece of paper to her. Seeing the content, Liu Chu Rong frowned, he could only continue to urge her to get rid of Xiao Shushen.

But how could that be easy? Ever since her previous failure, she had tried many times, but each time, she had failed. In fact, she had almost been found out.

He pushed the paper into a ball with his hand and threw it on the ground. But then he seemed to remember something and quickly picked it up and burned it on the candle. It was unknown if it was because the heavens were against her, but just as she was about to burn them down, she heard the palace maid's announcement from outside, "Imperial Concubine, Concubine Xian has come to see you."

Liu Chu Rong's heart skipped a beat, the note in his hand also fell to the ground due to his trembling finger. At that moment, the door opened.

"What is elder sister doing?" Shen Qingwan pushed the door open and entered. With her eyes fixed on him, the panic-stricken Liu Xiaorong became even more suspicious of her actions. With such a panicked expression, she wouldn't believe it if she was telling the truth.

"Hehe …" Why did little sister come here today? " Perhaps it was out of guilt, but there was a hint of flattery in his tone.

Shen Qingwan seemed to have not heard her words as she stared at the slip of paper on the ground. This slip of paper had clearly fallen to the ground halfway through its burning process. If it was going to be burned, then it must be something unknown.

"Elder sister, I'm a bit tired today. I don't want to come see you again in a few days." Seeing her staring at the slip of paper on the ground, Liu Chu Rong became even more panicked. He moved a few steps to the side and covered the slip of paper with his clothes. He didn't know that she gave off a feeling of three hundred taels of silver.

Now that the matter that she wanted to confirm had been confirmed, Shen Qingwan had no intention of staying any longer. She then left after exchanging some pleasantries. The moment she closed the door, Liu Chugrong collapsed on the ground. But someone picked up the note and burned it.

He hadn't thought that he would be almost found out, or perhaps it could be said that he was already suspected.

"Someone, come!" He shouted in panic and quickly took out a piece of paper.

Right now, the only thing left to do was to see how that man would react.
