Chapter 173 Pretend to Marry

"Brother Che, Brother Che"

Shen Qingqing jogged all the way to the palace gate but was stopped by the guards.

The prince had ordered that she not be allowed into the palace, so they had to guard her well.

"How dare you, guard, stop the princess!"

Manluo stepped forward and scolded him, but the guard remained calm and showed no intention of letting him go.

Shen Qingqing was so anxious that she paced back and forth. She had something important to tell Brother Che, so she ran straight to the palace after coming out of the palace. But now she couldn't get in. What should she do?

"Go in and inform the prince that I have something important to tell him."

Seeing the guard hesitate, Shen Qingqing continued

"This is a matter of great importance to the prince, why don't you hurry in and report it!"

The guard thought for a moment and finally gave in.

"Princess, please wait a moment."

Two guards went in and one was left. Shen Qingqing winked at Manluo, and Manluo understood. She dragged the other guard who was blocking them.

"Princess, please come in quickly."

Manluo shouted to Shen Qingqing

Shen Qingqing lifted her skirt and ran in quickly. She turned back and smiled at the door.

"Want to stop me? Humph, no way."

The guard was held tightly by Manluo's arm, and he couldn't argue with the girl, so he could only watch the princess slip into the room.

Now I'm going to be fined again.

Shen Qingqing went straight to Xiao Lingche's study as if she was familiar with the place. The guard who had just come out of the study couldn't help but open his eyes wide when he saw Shen Qingqing. He didn't even go to inform her, so how did she run in?

Shen Qingqing walked around him and went straight to the study. As soon as she entered, she saw Xiao Lingche sitting there, writing something seriously.

"Brother Che"

Shen Qingqing's voice interrupted him, but he continued writing without raising his head. His thin lips parted slightly and a cold voice rang out.

"It seems that the guards of the palace need to be retrained. They can't even stop a woman."

Qingshi was really confused. Their prince was thinking about how to make Miss Ye happy, and Shen Qingqing came to make trouble again.

There is no way, he had to say

"Your Majesty, calm down. I will punish them right away."

Qingshi quickly retreated

Shen Qingqing was stunned. Brother Che seemed to be angry. She was afraid that he would be angry. Normally, she would stay aside quietly and reduce her presence. But this time, she had something important to tell him.

She mustered up her courage, put on a smile, and stepped forward and said

"Brother Che, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have something important to tell you. I'll leave right after I finish. I won't keep you too long."

This time, Xiao Lingche finally looked up at her.

"What's the matter?"

"I found half a jade pendant in my aunt's palace. It's exactly the same as the one you wore when you were a child."

"Jade pendant? You didn't lie to me?"

Xiao Lingche put down his pen, stood up excitedly and asked

Shen Qingqing quickly shook her head

"Qingqing, I dare not lie to you. I went to the palace this morning and saw my aunt holding it in her hand. When she saw me come in, she put the jade pendant in a small wooden box in a panic."

"Is there anything else in that box?"

"I don't know, it's too far away, I can't see it."

After Shen Qingqing finished speaking, she saw Xiao Lingche's serious expression. He sat back in his chair.

His mother's belongings were in her hands, so he had to get them back. But it wasn't that simple.

Shen Qingqing seemed to have guessed something. That half of the jade pendant should be very important to Brother Che, but how could it be broken into two halves, one half in her aunt's hand and the other half in Brother Che's hand?

Could it be related to Brother Che’s biological mother?

Xiao Lingche was really holding back his anger. If it were someone else, he could just knock on the door and ask for it back directly, but Concubine Rong was his father's concubine, so he had no choice.

"Can you steal it?"

Xiao Lingche asked Shen Qingqing, Shen Qingqing shook her head

"Brother Che, you know, my aunt is a very powerful person. Nothing can escape her eyes. I caught her this morning, and she must have hidden it even more tightly. I'm sorry, Brother Che, I may not be able to help you."

Xiao Lingche's face flashed with disappointment. Shen Qingqing wanted to help him, but what could she do?

She rolled her eyes and said something quickly

"Perhaps Father can help you."

"Regent?"

"Yes, but there is a condition."

"What conditions?"

"It's, it's..."

Shen Qingqing hesitated, and Xiao Lingche asked anxiously

"What conditions?"

"That's right... you have to marry me. As long as you marry me, my father will fully support you. Then your aunt will lose her backing. Then it will be easy for you to find her and get your things back, right?"

After Shen Qingqing finished speaking, she looked a little shy and secretly observed Xiao Lingche's reaction.

"Marrying you is impossible! I promised Qingge that I would never marry another woman except her in this life."

Xiao Lingche said firmly

Shen Qingqing felt uncomfortable after hearing this. She didn't expect that Brother Che would go to such lengths for Ye Qingge.

But she was unwilling to give up. She thought about it and said

"Brother Che, you can actually pretend to marry me. When you get what you want, we can divorce. Don't worry, I won't bother you then."

Xiao Lingche was a little bit surprised after hearing her words. Shen Qingqing was actually willing to make such a big sacrifice for him.

“But this will damage your reputation.”

If a girl gets married once, it may not be so smooth if she gets married again.

"It's okay, Brother Che, I will return to Fengcheng when the time comes. It's not difficult for a princess like me to find a husband."

Shen Qingqing said it as if it were true, but in fact she had another plan in mind.

No matter whether Brother Che likes me or not, I have already married him. After a long time, even a stone will warm up.

Just now he said that he would only marry Ye Qingge. How could that be possible? Since ancient times, which man did not have three wives and four concubines? No matter how beautiful Ye Qingge is, men will occasionally taste the wild flowers on the roadside. Instead of giving this position to others, it is better to give it to her.

So she was not afraid that Xiao Lingche would dislike her in the future, because Ye Qingge was jealous and had a bad temper. Ask yourself, which man could stand such a woman for a long time?

But she is different. She will be obedient and serve Brother Che very well.

After a long time, Brother Che will realize how good she is, and then he probably won't have the heart to divorce her.

So for her own happiness, she took the risk and took a gamble to see if Brother Che would like her in the end.

Xiao Lingche thought about Shen Qingqing's words over and over again, and felt that this method was the most feasible one at the moment, but he also felt that it was inappropriate.

He and Qingge's wedding is in three days. If she knew about this, she would definitely be angry.

Shen Qingqing saw Xiao Lingche's doubts, and she said

"Brother Che, are you afraid that Miss Ye will be angry? You can explain to her in advance that we are just acting and it's not real. I believe Miss Ye is so considerate, she will understand."

Xiao Lingche leaned back in his chair, not knowing what he was thinking, while Shen Qingqing was waiting for his answer.

After a while, I heard him say

"You go back first, let me think about it."

"Okay, then Qingqing won't bother Brother Che anymore. Qingqing will go back first."

Shen Qingqing came out of the study and smiled silently

"Brother Che said to consider it, so does that mean there's a chance?"

She happily left with Manluo
