After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 50

For a moment, silence reigned in all four corners, and only the sound of Qin Liu's wailing and sobbing was left, which was also stifled by her trepidation.

Chen Li froze for a moment before she greeted him with a forced smile. She said, "His Highness Jingwang is here? His Highness has not notified us in advance. Our residence is full of ladies at the moment, and I have not prepared, not prepared..."

The servant quickly interrupted, "His Highness Jingwang s-said..."

"No need to prepare."

Right at that moment, a clear and chilly voice came from behind him.

Everyone hurriedly looked in his direction.

He saw a noble young childe, walking slowly to the garden with the support of a manservant.

It was clearly a spring day when all sorts of flowers were blooming, but he was wrapped in a snow-white cloak with a circle of white fur at the collar.The man had wide fluttering sleeves and a jade crown. When he approached slowly, he looked like a god descending from the clouds, with a noble and inviolable bearing.

But looking at his overly exquisite face, everyone felt that there was a bit of charm in his arrogance, resembling the essence of a white fox.

The crowd froze for a moment before they hurriedly got up and bowed to greet him.

The man was none other than Jiang Suizhou.

Seeing the garden filled with a bevy of women bowing to him, Jiang Suizhou raised his hand, signaling them to rise.

He scanned the garden without a trace, and then paused on Qin Liu.

Sure enough. He thought to himself.

He knew that Chen Ti had gone to great lengths to get Huo Wujiu to come to his manor and would not do nothing. However, he didn't expect that Chen Ti would be so open-minded as to make such a move that would cost him his wife and his troops just for the sake of tormenting Huo Wujiu.

He quietly glanced at Huo Wujiu.

As he expected, this person still looked aloof from the matter, and did not even glance at Jiang Suizhou when he arrived.

But fortunately, seeing that the crying woman was quite far from Huo Wujiu, she must have tried to frame him but failed. The situation was not too bad.

Jiang Suizhou took a rough stock of the current situation deep inside. He slowly walked up to Chen Li, stopping at a position three steps away from her.

"I've come without informing you. I'm sorry for disturbing you, Madam Chen," he said slowly.

Chen Li hurriedly bowed to him and forced a smile: "What is the Prince saying? Your gracious presence here is a great honor to our humble abode..."

Jiang Suizhou looked around at the garden of Chen's residence.

His own house was indeed quite simple and ordinary. It could not be compared with those magnificent love nest manors Chen Ti bought with the money he embezzled.

"Humble abode..." Jiang Suizhou pointed out with a smile that expressed volumes surfacing on his face.

Chen Li inexplicably felt deeply flustered.

Then she heard Jiang Suizhou shifting the topic, saying with a gentle smile, "It’s going too far to say my presence brings light to your humble dwelling. My visit today is merely because I don't trust the man in your residence. I came to check if he's caused trouble again."

After saying that, his eyes leisurely roamed around the garden and finally landed on Qin Liu.

"Now it seems that I have come at a good time, eh?"

His tone was gentle and sounded quite kind. But for some reason, the hearts of everyone in the courtyard jumped to their throats, and they dared not make the tiniest sound.

Qin Liu, who was shivering in her robe, cautiously raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Suizhou.

Then she saw His Highness Jingwang, whose beauty transcended mortals, gave Huo Wujiu a cold look and walked straight forward. The young eunuch behind Huo Wujiu seemingly understood what he meant in an instant. He trotted forward and brought him a wooden armchair.

His Highness sat unhurriedly on the armchair with his cloak fluttering, graceful and noble.

Qin Liu saw that when His Highness was seated on the chair, his eyes fell on her.

His cold and haughty eyes bore semblance to standing atop the clouds, looking disdainfully at the mortals in the dust below. Nonetheless, his eyes radiated an inexplicable charm, as if to suck people in. It was akin to a moth flying into the flame, crashing into him.

For a spell, Qin Liu stared at him and felt her breathing stop.

But at that moment, His Highness Jingwang spoke. "Tell me about it," he said, "What happened?"

It was only then that Qin Liu woke up as if in a dream and hastily looked at the people around her. But to her surprise, she only stared blankly at His Highness Jingwang for a few breaths, and that Madam Huo, who hadn't spared her a single glance since he entered the garden, was actually looking at her.

His eyes were ice-cold, and his brow was furrowed. He was looking down at her, as if looking at something dirty.

Qin Liu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Since His Highness Jingwang was here, the development of the situation would definitely change. As for whether the situation would become more serious or quashed depended on Jingwang's attitude.

Now it seemed that Jingwang detested Huo Wujiu, so she only needed to add more fuel to the fire to make things worse.

She gulped and boldly shook off the maids on either side of her, and greeted Jiang Suizhou, kneeling in front of him.

"Your Highness Jingwang." Her eyes welled up with tears, and she choked up as she spoke, "The matter involves this lady servant's reputation. Although it happened in public, this servant feels disgraced to speak of it!"

After saying that, she couldn't help herself anymore. She lifted her sleeve to wipe her tears. While wiping her tears, she choked with sobs, "Why don't you just let this servant die? At least, I'll die innocent!"

She knew that men succumbed to this the most.

As long as she showed weakness and became the victim, people would become softhearted. A man's heart has always been biased. Once it melted, the man would become increasingly partial. At this juncture, he would believe whatever she said, wouldn't he?

While Qin Liu wiped the tears of her effort, Qin Liu didn't forget to peek at Jiang Suizhou.

But she saw His Highness Jingwang acting as if he hadn't seen her tears at all. He stretched out a slender, white hand from his cloak, picked the cup of hot tea handed by the eunuch next to him, and drank it slowly.

"Forget it if you don't want to say it." he said indifferently.

Qin Liu froze.

Then His Highness put the tea aside, raised his hand and pointed randomly in the crowd. Next, he named a lady and said unhurriedly, "My lady, please come and give this Prince an account."

Qin Liu was completely dumbfounded.
