Chapter 324 Three
Su Qingqing looked at He Chao.
"You're not going to say that the head of the escort agency is Duke Xue's son!"
Just when He Chao had an expression on his face that said, "I'm hiding a shocking secret that no one can guess," Su Qingqing suddenly asked him.
He Chao was stunned and looked at Su Qingqing in astonishment, "Does the Queen know?"
Rong Que was stunned, "Is it really him?"
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "I just made a random guess."
He Chao waved his hands and said, "That's him, the stupid son in the manor. He is not Duke Xue's biological son at all. His biological son is the chief escort of the escort agency."
Maybe he was too excited, for when He Chao spoke, his face was full of excitement, and his body was walking back and forth on the smooth marble floor of the imperial study.
It's no wonder that He Chao was excited. Ever since Rong Que ascended the throne, all their affairs had been restrained and constrained by others.
On the one hand, there is Duke Xue, and on the other hand, there is the princess of Da Qi, and these two sides are in collusion with each other .
Duke Xue controls almost all the grain in the entire country. People of his status are really hard to shake. Even if Rong Que has Su Qingqing behind him, it is difficult for him to fight against Duke Xue.
"Not only is this chief escort his son, but, to be more precise, he doesn't have only one son. He has at least three sons. As for how many daughters he has, I haven't figured it out yet.
The head of the escort agency is his eldest son, who is responsible for the operation of the entire escort agency, and the accountant and the chief manager of the escort agency are his other two sons. "
Rong Que and Su Qingqing both looked solemn, and neither of them spoke a word. They just let He Chao speak in one go.
"We already had news about the escort leader's wife, saying that she and the Second Prince's Consort were close friends, but after the Second Prince's Consort married the Second Prince, the two suddenly broke off their friendship.
This minister also found out today, oh, no, it shouldn't be said that I found out, it was the Second Prince's Consort who suddenly sent someone to my house today and told me about this matter."
Su Qingqing had been able to control her emotions and not interrupt, but when she heard Qin Wanru, she couldn't help but ask, "Wanru contacted you?"
Ever since Rong Que ascended the throne and the second prince became a monk, Qin Wanru moved away.
I no longer live in Kyoto.
Su Qingqing tried to look for her, but after searching for her for a while and failing, she realized that Qin Wanru simply didn't want to be found. So she respected Qin Wanru's choice and did not continue looking for her.
She originally thought that she might never see Qin Wanru again in this life.
She and Qin Wanru did not spend much time together, but they both had a feeling of mutual appreciation. She admired Qin Wanru's talents, and she knew that Qin Wanru also admired her.
No matter she is General Su of the Great Yan Dynasty or the princess of the Zhao Kingdom.
From the moment Qin Wanru started working with her, she admired her.
"She went to your mansion?"
He Chao said hurriedly: "No, the Second Prince's Consort sent someone to deliver a letter to me."
"Where's the letter?"
He Chao did not expect that the Queen was so eager to get news about Qin Wanru. He licked his lips and said with a hint of guilt, "The man who delivered the letter was a man. He should be the Second Prince's Consort's attendant. He watched me finish reading the letter and then watched me burn it before leaving. The letter was not kept."
Su Qingqing frowned.
burn?
Why?
"What does the letter say?" Rong Que patted Su Qingqing's shoulder soothingly and asked He Chao.
"Back then, the Second Prince's Consort did not intend to marry the Second Prince directly. She was deceived by the Third Miss of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion and married him. We all knew this later.
But the person who could really deceive the Second Prince's Consort was not the Third Lady of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion, but the wife of the Chief Escort.
The Second Prince's Consort has a very good relationship with the chief escort's wife. She treats her almost like her own sister, so she is not on guard against her at all.
But this is not the point. The point is that the Second Prince's Concubine mentioned that when she married into the Second Prince's mansion, she and the Second Prince got along pretty well at first.
The Second Prince treated her very well.
But she discovered several times that the Second Prince had met the wife of the Chief Escort without her knowledge, and on one of those occasions, something happened between the two of them that shouldn’t have happened.”
Everyone can understand what something that shouldn't have happened means without He Chaoming explaining it.
"The Second Prince's Consort questioned the Second Prince, but the Second Prince flatly denied it. It was because of this that the relationship between the Second Prince and the Second Prince became completely incompatible.
In fact, they are not incompatible. When the Queen pretended to die, the Second Prince was completely desperate, which was enough to show the feelings of the Prince for the Queen.
But because of what happened back then , Her Majesty still feels like a thorn in her heart and cannot forgive him, even though she now knows that the Second Prince has lost all hope and has become a monk.
I don't know how the Queen learned that we were investigating the chief escort, so she sent me this message, saying that she hoped it would be helpful to your Majesty and the Queen."
Su Qingqing felt sad.
Qin Wanru is still thinking about helping her.
What about her?
How can you help Qin Wanru?
After He Chao finished speaking, Su Qingqing asked an irrelevant question, "People who have entered Buddhism can return to secular life, right?"
He Chao: Huh?
Rong Que:!
After a brief pause, Rong Que understood what Su Qingqing meant, "Do you think there was a misunderstanding between the second brother and Miss Qin? Do you want to help them clear up the misunderstanding?"
Su Qingqing said, "Misunderstandings are inevitable. The Second Prince likes Wanru so much, it is impossible for him to do something inappropriate to Wanru's friends during their wedding.
Besides, I seem to have heard somewhere about what happened back then, and the second prince’s mother didn’t play any good role either.
If it weren't for her mother interfering, things wouldn't have come to that.
At the time, I didn't understand how his mother interfered, but now, considering the identity of the chief escort, I'm afraid I can guess a thing or two."
The second prince's mother most likely reached some kind of contract with Duke Xue or the chief escort, and she was probably not satisfied with Qin Wanru, so she resorted to some means and caused those misunderstandings.
Even someone as smart as Qin Wanru didn't notice the clues. It must have been related to the fact that Qin Wanru's father had a stroke at the time.
On the one hand, she was worried about her father's health, and on the other hand, she learned that her new husband was having an affair with her best sister. I'm afraid she cried countless times at that time.
"During the Baihua Festival, think of a way to invite the wife of the chief escort leader to the palace."
After Su Qingqing finished speaking, He Chao immediately said, "That's easy to say. The Hundred Flowers Festival originally invited not only the noble ladies of Kyoto, but also many civilian merchants who have made outstanding contributions to the court. His family runs an escort agency and has a prominent position in the martial arts world. It's normal to invite his wife."
Su Qingqing nodded.
Rong Que thought about what He Chao said about his prominent status in the underworld. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through his mind, "Is it possible that the person following you is from the underworld?"
Su Qingqing immediately said, "No, even if the people in the martial arts world are highly skilled in martial arts, they don't have such professional tracking and anti-tracking methods."
