Chapter 58 Reasonable Doubt

Chapter 58 Reasonable Doubt

"What do you mean, my Lord?"

Song Shiwei put down the comb in her hand, turned around and looked at Xiao Jingheng and said, "Are you reminiscing about the past with your childhood sweetheart in the garden rockery, or are you having a secret meeting with the future Crown Princess?"

"and many more."

Xiao Jingheng listened to her strange words and asked in confusion: "What childhood sweethearts, secret trysts? Did you misunderstand something?"

"Misunderstand?"

Song Shiwei asked him: "Isn't Wen Ruqing your childhood sweetheart?

You didn’t have a secret rendezvous in the rockery of the Marquis’s mansion garden? You didn’t…”

She was too embarrassed to say the following words.

Xiao Jingheng walked up to her quickly and explained anxiously, "What childhood sweethearts? Wen Ruqing and I just had an engagement when we were children.

After leaving Beijing, the engagement was annulled. Today, she met me privately in the Marquis' Mansion, but there is absolutely no private relationship between us."

He knew that Song Shiwei must have misunderstood what was going on between him and Wen Ruqing.

I swear to God, if Wen Ruqing hadn't stopped him today and called him Brother Heng, he might not have recognized her.

He was only ten years old when he left Beijing. He was emotionally and mentally immature, so how could he have a childhood sweetheart?

"No personal feelings?"

Song Shiwei looked unconvinced. She rolled her eyes at Xiao Jingheng and said, "There is no private relationship, why are you flirting with me?"

Xiao Jingheng was stunned with shock. This was really a huge pot falling on his head.

He flew into a rage: "Who flirted with her? Explain yourself to me!"

If we talk about frivolousness, he has only been frivolous to one person in his life, and that was Song Shiwei.

But this woman accused him of such a serious crime for no reason.

This is simply unreasonable.

"Not you?"

Song Shiwei saw that Xiao Jingheng's reaction did not seem to be a sign of guilt, so could it be that she guessed wrong?

She blinked and asked, "Has anyone else seen Wen Ruqing since you left?"

Xiao Jingheng said with a serious face: "It's the prince."

He told the whole story in detail: "Wen Ruqing stopped me and explained to me that the engagement was cancelled.

I told her that even if the marriage was not annulled, I would not marry her!

When I was leaving, I met the prince. If you say that Wen Ruqing was flirted with, it must have been done by the prince. No one else would be so bold as him. "

Song Shiwei listened to his explanation but was half-believing and half-doubting. She asked, "Are you not mad at the girl for ruining their marriage, so you said those cruel words on purpose?"

"Song Shiwei!"

Jamel Xiao gritted his teeth and called her name word by word.

He asked bitterly, "Why are you so sure that Wen Ruqing and I have a secret affair?"

Song Shiwei asked: "Isn't she your sweetheart?

You see, there is a "Qing" in her name, and she likes to wear bright red clothes. She has known you since childhood and you were once engaged.

Anyone would doubt that she is the one you can't forget, right? "

Xiao Jingheng was so angry that he laughed. He rubbed his aching forehead and asked, "What does it mean to like wearing bright red clothes?"

Song Shiwei curled her lips: "Didn't you hide a girl who loves to wear red clothes in your house?"

Xiao Jingheng: “…”

What is this?

A light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, and he suddenly remembered that Song Shiwei had been to his mansion once and left inexplicably angry.

So she was angry with him because she saw a "girl" in red at the mansion?

Xiao Jingheng's eyes lit up, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his lips, which was extremely charming.

He raised his voice and said teasingly, "Oh? No wonder you suddenly got angry with me that day. It turned out that you saw a "girl" in red in my house?"

"you……"

Song Shiwei glared at him in annoyance: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm angry because you're being too arrogant, not because of any girl."

The smile in Xiao Jingheng's eyes deepened. He suddenly leaned over and asked, "Did you see the girl's appearance?"

Song Shiwei shrank back subconsciously and said, "I didn't see it, what's wrong?"

Jamel Xiao knocked on her head: “You didn’t see it, how can you be sure that it was a girl?”

"It can't be a man if it's not a girl, right?"

Song Shiwei looked up at the serious and aggrieved expression on Jamel Xiao's face, and she asked in surprise, "What a man?"

Jamel Xiao snorted: “It seems that you are very prejudiced against me.

You can't wait to suspect me of something you haven't seen with your own eyes, Song Shiwei, don't you think this is unfair to me?"

Song Shiwei wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. This misunderstanding was too big.

She bit her lip and tried to explain: "Isn't this... a reasonable suspicion?"

"Are you doubting? You're almost convicting me!"

Xiao Jingheng lifted his robe and sat down at the table and said, "If I don't explain to you, will you draw a line between you and me?"

Song Shiwei: "..."

She walked over, poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Jamel Xiao and said, “You can’t blame me. Who knows if you approached me as a substitute? Of course I have to find out.”

Jamel Xiao remembered that she had mentioned the word "substitute" when she was drunk.

So she thought that the Miss Qingqing he liked was someone else, and he approached her just to treat her as a substitute?

He looked at Song Shiwei with an extremely serious expression: "There is no substitute, it has always been you."

Song Shiwei was stunned for a moment and was about to ask him what did it mean that it was always her?

However, Jamel Xiao changed the subject and said, “I came to you to tell you that you are in trouble.”

"I know. Sister Qin told me everything."

Song Shiwei restrained her thoughts and asked Xiao Jingheng: "Is your majesty's affection for your mother real or fake?"

Xiao Jingheng's eyes moved, and he heard Song Shiwei continue: "I was wondering, if His Majesty really loves Empress Huo, why would he treat you like this?

Is he protecting you, or is he ashamed of you? "

The affairs of the Huo family have been buried for sixteen years. Now, because of her piano piece, the past is about to be revealed again. What is the truth hidden in the undercurrent?

Is it love or hate between the king of a country and his first wife, the queen who is accused of treason?

Xiao Jingheng laughed at himself and said, "My mother committed suicide that year. She hanged herself in her bedroom.

When I pushed open the palace door, what I saw was her body floating in the air, wearing a white dress.

After all these years, I can still remember what she looked like before she died.

Before she committed suicide, she had a quarrel with my father. I only remember that they quarreled fiercely. "

At this point, his eyes darkened and he said in a cold voice: "In my opinion, it was my father who forced my mother to death.

It is because of this that a rift arose between my father and I, and the relationship between father and son became so bad.

All these years I have never forgiven him, nor myself."

Song Shiwei was a little surprised. It turned out that Xiao Jingheng had witnessed the death of his mother when he was a child.

So he was not an unfavored prince, but was angry with his father because of his mother's death.
