Chapter 9 Shizhu, you are here?
"Sister, if you need anything from me, just let me know." Su Hua replied cautiously.

Su Ci's smile deepened, and she leaned closer to Su Hua and said, "Of course, my sister can help me with this matter. It's like this, everyone says that His Royal Highness Duan is not interested in women, but I don't believe it. If he faces a stunning beauty like my sister, His Royal Highness Duan will definitely be tempted. How about we sisters try to see if His Royal Highness Duan is really not interested in women?"

Su Hua's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean, sister?"

"What it means is that my sister is going to seduce His Royal Highness Prince Duan!" Su Ci said another shocking statement.

[Ahhh, Su Ci is so crazy, but what's the matter with me loving you so much? ]

[Haha, Su Hua's confused expression is similar to mine~]

[I actually like Su Ci who doesn't play by the rules. Sorry, I admit that I'm a pervert.]

[Hehe, am I a pervert too? ]

……

Su Hua, who was in a state of bewilderment, took a while to come back to her senses. She spoke carefully, "Sister, this concerns a woman's reputation. This kind of joke is not allowed."

"Don't worry, third sister. No one else knows about this. I'm just worried that His Royal Highness Prince Duan has some hidden illness that cannot be made public. Third sister is so beautiful, perhaps she can find out a thing or two. Besides, it's just a test, not a real affair between third sister and His Royal Highness Prince Duan. Are you willing to do me this small favor?" Su Ci looked at Su Hua with burning eyes. His smiling face looked particularly harmless.

Su Hua was worried that she had no chance to get close to Zhao Shizhu. After hearing Su Ci's explanation, she was eager to try.

Zhao Shizhu really wanted to ruin her reputation, but because of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, Zhao Shizhu had to be responsible for her. In this way, she could naturally enter the Duanwang Mansion and become Zhao Shizhu's concubine.

She knew that she was born a concubine and could not become Zhao Shizhu's principal wife. Although her father could marry her to a poor young man from a small family, she was unwilling to accept such a low position.

Even being Zhao Shizhu's concubine is better than marrying a boy from a poor family. She might as well give it a try and take advantage of this rare opportunity to get Zhao Shizhu's body.

When the incident happens, she can say that it was Su Ci's idea, and she can clear herself of the charges and become Zhao Shizhu's woman smoothly.

She thought about it in her mind and soon made a decision.

"Did you make Third Sister feel embarrassed?" Su Ci sighed when she saw Su Hua remained silent, "Forget it, I can ask Aqin for help."

Su Qin is the second daughter of the Su family. Although she is also a concubine's daughter, she usually interacts with Su Ci.

Su Hua didn't dare to make trouble after hearing what Su Ci said, and quickly replied: "Sis, if you ask me, I will naturally be willing to help you. I'm just afraid that something uncontrollable will happen..."

Su Ci had no idea what was going on, so she immediately gave Su Hua a reassurance: "Don't worry, Third Sister. If something uncontrollable really happens, I'll take care of it. I won't let you down."

Su Hua immediately felt relieved.

The two sisters talked and laughed, and soon returned to the marquis's mansion.

After watching Su Hua walk away, Su Fu warned Su Ci: "You'd better have less contact with Su Hua."

"I know my limits." Su Ci disagreed.

"Ah Ci, Su Hua is a man of deep thoughts. I'm afraid she will plot against you. Do you know that she likes His Royal Highness Duan?" Su Fu knew that Su Ci liked Zhao Shizhu, so he simply made it clear. "His Royal Highness Duan is handsome and elegant, and all the girls in Liangzhou City like him. So why is it strange that my third sister likes him? Don't worry, brother. I know my limits. Don't worry about me." Su Ci was afraid that Su Fu would nag again, so he quickly said, "Oh, I'm so tired. I have to go back and take a nap. I'll go first."

She walked a few steps and turned back to Su Fu and said, "Brother, don't frown all the time. You'll age faster if you do that!"

Before Su Fu could say anything, he saw Su Ci hurriedly walking away.

He shook his head secretly, he was helpless in dealing with this eccentric sister.

That night, at Prince Duan’s Mansion.

Qi Xi discovered that his master seemed to be worried. To be precise, his master seemed a little quiet after returning from the peach forest.

"Uncle Yin just came and brought the palace's bill for last month. Your Highness, please take a look." Qi Xi handed the bill to Zhao Shizhu.

Zhao Shizhu read it roughly and nodded approvingly: "I trust Yin Changshi to do the work."

"These trivial matters should have been left to the princess. Your Highness should have been married long ago." Qi Xi took the opportunity to urge the marriage, "Your Highness, please settle the marriage as soon as possible. However, the eldest daughter of the Marquis Xuanping Mansion is absolutely not suitable. She has a bad temper."

"Speaking of Su Ci, don't you think she looks weird today?" Zhao Shizhu became interested in talking.

Qi Xi immediately became alert: "Your Highness, are you interested in Miss Su? Your Highness, please don't let it get to your head. There are many good girls in Liangzhou City, and any of them is better than that fierce and weird Miss Su..."

For a while, 7-Up started to go into a crazy complaining mode.

After hearing this, Zhao Shizhu laughed and shook his head: "Before today, you didn't have such a strong hostility towards Su Ci."

"That's because I've never seen Miss Su's indecent side before!" Qi Xi couldn't help but criticize Su Ci when she recalled the scene during the day. "Miss Su can be so reckless in front of His Highness. Who knows how vicious and cruel she will be when His Highness can't see her."

"Then have you ever thought about why, if she likes me, she would not hide it in front of me?" Zhao Shizhu's lips were pale and his voice was low.

Qi Xi still has her own unique opinion: "Miss Su must be spoiled and carried away by the fact that His Highness likes her!"

Zhao Shizhu's expression was calm as he analyzed in an orderly manner: "I have said that we should not judge people by their appearance. The same is true for judging people. In the past, Su Ci would dress up carefully when she saw me, but today she was dressed very plainly, without even any makeup. If she liked me, she should have seized the opportunity to be alone with me, but on the contrary, she seemed to be avoiding being with me. If she liked me, she should have paid more attention to her words and deeds. Today, it was just the opposite. She did not have the temperament of a lady from a noble family. I suspect that she deliberately showed her indecent side in front of me."

Qi Xi was confused and said, "Since Miss Su likes His Highness, she should behave well in front of His Highness. Why does Miss Su deliberately vilify herself?"

"Perhaps she doesn't like me, or maybe Marquis Xuanping has analyzed the power relationship with her, and she suddenly doesn't want to marry me." Zhao Shizhu paused, his eyes darkening, "I'll test Su Ci when I see her another day."

After finishing Su Ci, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Qi Xi could see that his master was uneasy, so he suggested, "It's still early, Your Highness, would you like to go to Hexuzhai and sit for a while?"

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Shizhu arrived at Hexuzhai.

When the girl from Hexuzhai saw him, she smiled and said, "Shizhu, you're here?"
