"So, who exactly did you meet today?" Chu Yixuan saw Su Zixuan's face slowly turn red, making his mouth go dry. He quickly changed the topic.

Chu Yixuan accidentally found the wrong topic to talk about. He wanted to bite his tongue off, but as expected, he caught Su Zixuan's gaze.

"That's too much. The daughter of the Imperial Tutor, the Master of Danyang County, and Princess Jia He …"

"Did you run into Jia He today?" When Chu Yixuan heard this, he couldn't help but frown and interrupt Su Zixuan's words.

As Su Zixuan listened to Chu Yi Xuan casually mention the word 'Jia He', the previously uncomfortable feeling once again surfaced in her heart.

"Now that I think about it, Princess Jia He has also been admiring the prince for a long time. Last winter, I was given the opportunity to make use of this opportunity to warn me." Su Zixuan's words were sour and Chu Yixuan wanted to laugh, but he held it in.

Last year, he just had a whim and came to join in on the fun, but luckily this time, he found her.

"It was my stupidity that made me fail to understand the meaning of Princess Jia and Princess. Otherwise, Princess would have already had her wish granted long ago." Last year when she saw Jia He, Princess Jia He was only a haughty and arrogant lady, but now, she seemed to have a lot more shrewdness in her eyes.

At that time, Jia He had sized up this person with a peculiar look, and it seemed like he had stumbled upon him by chance. It was also unlike now, when he had looked at her, he had almost wanted to put down his knife.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed like he had indeed stolen something from her.

She had gotten to know Chu Yixuan too late. If it weren't for the fact that her rebirth had broken some sort of path, Chu Yixuan might have ended up with Jia He in her previous life.

Su Zixuan fell into deep thought. After her death, where would those people who were related to her end up and how they would end up? This suddenly made her curious.

Chu Yixuan saw that she was lost in thought and couldn't help but say, "Even if you weren't here, there wouldn't have been anyone else."

He reached out his hand and took Su Zixuan's pair of small hands into his own, his gaze sincere.

When Su Zixuan saw this, she couldn't help but laugh. No wonder Li Shiyun had been saying 'love words are the most touching' all day in front of her.

Listening to him talk like this, she couldn't help but feel the joy in her heart.

"Then why? "Since the princess likes you that much, and even got the favor of the empress dowager and the emperor, if I hadn't come in here with her, she would have long become the Jin Consort." Su Zixuan was truly curious, so she couldn't help but ask.

When Chu Yixuan heard these words, the light in his eyes momentarily dimmed. However, it disappeared in a flash and didn't get noticed by Su Zixuan.

"I can see that the way Jia Jia and the princess deal with things is rather unexpected. I definitely won't let someone like him stay by my side." Chu Yixuan said after some deliberation.

Actually, what he wanted to say was, there was no reason for Princess Jia He to do so. This kind of uncertainty was too strong, and he did not have that much time to pay attention to her, much less be confident that he could hand over the backyard to such a person.

"What's unexpected? I see that the princess is doing everything for you. " Su Zixuan said curiously, thinking that it was fortunate that Jia He and Princess didn't know about this matter. Otherwise, it would have been infuriating to know that the man he admired described her in such a way behind her back.

Chu Yixuan pondered over this as he felt that there were still things that he could tell Su Zixuan.

"She had sent someone to follow the current official of the justice courts, Liu Yan. If it wasn't for me previously paying attention to this person, I wouldn't have known about this matter."

Upon hearing this familiar official's name, Su Zixuan realized that this was the lord who had previously interrogated her without paying any attention to her. Although he seemed rather taciturn, from the way the evidence had been disposed of, it could still be seen that he had some ability.

"Not only did he send people to follow him, he even looks like he wants to get to know him." Chu Yixuan said, "She's a princess who doesn't need to worry about food and clothing. For no reason at all, she came into contact with a drunkard. This is truly suspicious."

"So I sent people to keep an eye on her and found out that she was asking for Shen Huifeng from her children and was looking for a warrior named Fu Fu." Even now, Chu Yixuan still didn't understand the intentions of Jia He and Princess Mo Yu. These people were completely unrelated to each other and they weren't acquainted with each other. Her actions were truly suspicious.

"Shen Yufeng, Fu Ji, are they the two that I know?" Su Zixuan also felt that something wasn't right, especially when she heard the familiar name.

"That's right." Chu Yixuan nodded his head in affirmation.

"This is interesting. Fu Guike is mentioned as a young master of Fu family in the capital. Father is a fourth rank official in the imperial court. Uncle Fu Feihan is even more so. He is now a second rank Governor of the river."

Because Fu Feihan had found jobs like private salt, he had been appointed as the governor of the river course by the emperor a few days ago. He only needed to rest for a short period of time before taking up his post in the next year.

"As for the other two, I don't know about Lord Liu. It's just that with Shen Jingshi's current achievements, he's not very talented, and I don't know if he'll be able to stand up in the Han Forest Courtyard. Furthermore, civil officials will always be promoted for many years. Why is Princess Jia He doing this?"

Chu Yixuan nodded. "That's why I can't predict what it will be like."

That was why he didn't dare to keep such a person by his side.
