I traveled through time just for the jade hairpin, I never wanted to be the queen

Chapter 197 Stimulating He Jingcheng

Qu Xiaowan went in alone, while Caiying stood guard at the door.

Qu Xiaowan walked to He Jingcheng, but He Jingcheng didn't stand up or let Qu Xiaowan sit down. He just said indifferently, "I wonder what the princess wants to see me about?"

Seeing He Jingcheng's cold and indifferent expression, Qu Xiaowan didn't care.

"I heard that Su Mei is back." Qu Xiaowan went straight into the topic.

"Yes, I'm back. I'm already in Chunheyuan, bathing and changing clothes."

He Jingcheng did not hide it. After a pause, he continued, "I will go to see her later and stay at her place. If the princess has something to say, please tell her quickly."

Listening to He Jingcheng's "stimulating" words, Qu Xiaowan felt speechless, but she still calmed down.

"Your Highness, are you going to Chunheyuan? Then let's go together. I want to see her too."

He Jingcheng was stunned, staring at Qu Xiaowan for a while, then he slowly said: "You want to go see her?"

There was shock and confusion in his eyes.

"Yes, as the princess of Prince Lu's Mansion and your wife, I should care about your concubine." Qu Xiaowan explained calmly.

Looking at Qu Xiaowan's serious look, He Jingcheng couldn't help but laugh coldly.

"Qu Xiaowan, what's wrong with you today? This is not like your style. On weekdays, you don't even care about Su Mei, let alone me. Do you have something to do?" He Jingcheng asked back.

As soon as the words fell, Qu Xiaowan was startled, but her expression did not change at all, and she was still very calm.

"Since Your Highness thinks so, then let's just assume that there is something that needs to be done. I won't object." Qu Xiaowan said firmly.

"You are very honest and don't hide anything." He Jingcheng sneered.

"So, Your Highness, please lead the way?" Qu Xiaowan responded directly, and stood beside He Jingcheng to "make way" for He Jingcheng.

Looking at Qu Xiaowan's "dominant" attitude, He Jingcheng snorted disdainfully. He did not stand up and remained sitting.

Then he leisurely poured himself a glass of water.

"If you are in a hurry, go see her first. I want to sit here for a while." He Jingcheng said while drinking.

Seeing He Jingcheng's calm appearance, Qu Xiaowan snorted in her heart.

I thought to myself: This He Jingcheng is deliberately trying to piss me off, but he's still willing to see me and talk to me, which means he has a place for me in his heart. What should I do? Give in? That's impossible.

After thinking about it for a while, Qu Xiaowan looked down and saw her slightly bulging belly, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

So she touched her belly and frowned.

"Ouch—"

Qu Xiaowan called softly.

He Jingcheng, who was still calmly drinking water, heard the sound and saw Qu Xiaowan touching her stomach with a painful expression. He immediately put down the cup, stood up, and supported Qu Xiaowan's arm, looking very nervous.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling sick in the stomach? Do you want to call a doctor?"

He Jingcheng's unhesitating reaction made Qu Xiaowan stunned, and her eyes were full of surprise.

"Maybe it's because I've been standing for too long?" Qu Xiaowan explained, still frowning.

"Just sit down quickly and don't get tired."

He Jingcheng hurriedly helped Qu Xiaowan sit on the stool, and then he sat down too.

At this time, He Jingcheng looked Qu Xiaowan up and down. Seeing her haggard face and slightly bulging belly, he couldn't help but sigh.

"You are pregnant now, so you should rest more and don't overwork yourself. If not for yourself, you should also think about the baby in your belly." He Jingcheng said helplessly.

Qu Xiaowan saw everything He Jingcheng said and did, and she couldn't help but have some doubts about He Jingcheng's character.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you today? Why are you concerned about me?" Qu Xiaowan asked back.

"What are you talking about? The child you are carrying is my child. How could I not care or be concerned about it?" He Jingcheng said with a straight face.

Qu Xiaowan stared at He Jingcheng for a while before she remembered what she had to do and quickly adjusted her mood.

"Are you so sure that the baby in my belly is yours?" Qu Xiaowan said deliberately angrily.

He Jingcheng was stunned, and seeing Qu Xiaowan's "fighting" expression, he looked affirmative.

"That's interesting. Although we don't have a very good relationship, I'm sure the baby in your belly is mine. There's no doubt about that."

"Do you trust me so much?" Qu Xiaowan asked again.

As soon as Qu Xiaowan finished speaking, He Jingcheng couldn't help but recall the "good" time in the early days of his marriage with Qu Xiaowan, and felt a little "nostalgic".

"Since the day we got married, I have been going to your yard every day and staying with you every day. Tell me, if the baby in your belly is not mine, whose is it?"

Seeing He Jingcheng continue this topic, Qu Xiaowan was secretly delighted. She "took advantage of the opportunity" and said, "Really? You go there every day, but you only come at night. Isn't there still daytime? How do you know what I do during the day?"

When He Jingcheng heard this, his expression changed immediately. He frowned and looked a little angry.

"What's wrong with you? What do you want to say? Are you trying to prove to me that this child is not mine?"

After saying that, He Jingcheng glared at Qu Xiaowan.

"Based on our relationship, shouldn't Your Highness be suspicious?" Qu Xiaowan asked back calmly.

"Yes, I admit that our relationship is not that good, but I don't doubt whether the child in your belly is mine. Because, since you married into Prince Lu's Mansion, all your actions have been within my sight. I know who you have come into contact with."

He Jingcheng was very confident and certain.

Qu Xiaowan was overjoyed to receive He Jingcheng's affirmation.

"Oh, it turns out that all my actions are within your Highness's sight, so your Highness trusts me so much." Qu Xiaowan deliberately emphasized.

He Jingcheng looked at Qu Xiaowan speechlessly.

"Okay, since Your Highness is so sure, I won't refute it." Qu Xiaowan said lightly.

After a pause, she advised, "Your Highness, why don't we go see Su Mei together? She left Prince Lu's Mansion today and left your Highness's sight. God knows what kind of suffering she has gone through outside. We should care about her."

Hearing this, He Jingcheng couldn't help but recall what Fang Di had said to him. His heart skipped a beat, as if he sensed something.

His face began to change and become gloomy.

Qu Xiaowan noticed the change in He Jingcheng's expression, and a sneer appeared on her lips.

"Su Mei stayed outside for a whole day, and many things must have happened that we couldn't imagine. We should be concerned about her." Qu Xiaowan reminded her again.

He Jingcheng's face became more and more ugly.

Seeing this, Qu Xiaowan continued to add oil.

"Think about how beautiful Su Mei is, with a voluptuous figure. Women would be tempted when they see her, let alone men. It is indeed very worrying..."

Before he could finish his words, He Jingcheng slammed the table and stood up.

"Stop talking." He Jingcheng looked angry.
