After rebirth, I will be the royal aunt to the scumbag

"Seriously?" Xue Jinruo finally gave in.

Sheng Jingze nodded: "Seriously."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Jinruo sat down.

She was already hungry after a busy day. If it wasn't for the quarrel with Sheng Jingze, she would have feasted on it long ago.

But now that the matter has been resolved, there is no need for her to continue the stalemate.

However, after picking up the chopsticks, she still glanced at Sheng Jingze opposite. The other party looked at her and picked up the chopsticks and shook them at her.

Xue Jinruo felt relieved now. After all, she would feel quite uncomfortable if Sheng Jingze only watched her eat.

After about a cup of tea, both of them had eaten and drank enough, and put down their chopsticks one after another.

Xue Jinruo took out the handkerchief and wiped his mouth and spoke slowly: "Hua Rong came to inform us earlier that Sheng Chengjie was planning to harm us while we were on a cruise. Does the prince know how this news spread?"

She had been wondering a long time ago. The news hadn't reached her yet, so why did it reach Sheng Chengjie first? Where did the news leak out?

Sheng Jingze also frowned when he heard this, and he counted everything in his mind: "No one knows except the Xue family and Xiao Yi."

"How is that possible?" Xue Jinruo looked solemn. It was absolutely impossible for these people to betray the whereabouts of the two of them.

After all, Xiao Yi was loyal to Sheng Jingze, and no one in the Xue family would do such a thing.

She frowned and thought for a long time, but suddenly thought of someone - Jiang Yunyun.

"Your Majesty, does Jiang Yunyun know about this matter?" She stood up and asked eagerly, but after asking, she felt it was impossible. Sheng Jingze should not reveal the whereabouts of the two to Jiang Yunyun.

Sheng Jingze also frowned when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but what is certain is that she has not been out of the house recently, so it is impossible for her to have contact with him."

"Really?" Xue Jinruo sat back again, but could not think of anyone else. Now she still had to make sure whether she had ever left the house.

Sheng Jingze saw what Xue Jinruo meant and called out: "Xiao Yi."

"Your Majesty." Xiao Yi's voice sounded outside the door.

Sheng Jingze ordered: "Go and check with the boy in front of the door. Has Jiang Yunyun ever left the house?"

"Yes." Xiao Yi's footsteps gradually faded away.

After a moment of burning incense, footsteps came from outside.

"Replying to the prince, Jiang Yunyun has never left the house."

Sheng Jingze breathed a sigh of relief. Frankly speaking, he didn't want to believe that Jiang Yunyun had leaked the news.

"However, the young man said that the Crown Prince came to the residence, and Miss Jiang said a few words to him, in which the word "cruise boat" was indeed vaguely mentioned." This voice came again from outside.

Sheng Jingze's face suddenly darkened, and the stone hanging in his heart turned into a sharp knife.

Seeing the change in Sheng Jingze's mood, Xue Jinruo ordered: "Xiao Yi, you go first."

"Yes." Xiao Yi took the order and left.

Then Xue Jinruo walked to Sheng Jingze's side and comforted her softly: "Your Highness, please be patient."

"How can we be at ease? How can we not be impatient?" Sheng Jingze waved his hand, "According to my opinion about the cruise, how can I..."

He wanted to forget it, after all, the matter was so important, and if something happened to Xue Jin, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

But Xue Jinruo interrupted him: "I would like to see what tricks Sheng Chengjie can come up with."

"It's too dangerous." Sheng Jingze frowned slightly.

Xue Jinruo asked in return: "Your Majesty, you don't have the confidence to protect me?"

"You are the only one who is very articulate." Sheng Jingze complained.

As night falls, the streets of Qiqiao Festival are still crowded and lively.

Xue Jinruo was sitting in a pavilion inside the painting boat, holding a paper fan in his hand, shaking it while admiring the bright lights on the shore, with a smile on his lips.

Sheng Jingze was worried, but after seeing her expression he couldn't help but joke: "You know how to enjoy it, aren't you afraid that you won't survive tonight?"

"He is such a idiot and can only come up with the idea of ​​assassination. But after all, the prince is ruthless and has never been defeated. In this case, I have nothing to fear. As long as I can enjoy the cruise with peace of mind, That's it." Xue Jinruo shook the fan in his hand without feeling nervous at all.

But when she finished speaking, the man in the cabin rushed towards her with a dagger.

There was a cold glint in Xue Jinruo's eyes. The moment he rushed toward her, he tapped his toes and retreated quickly like an arrow from a string.

At the same time, she waved the fan in her hand gently, and the extremely sharp paper fan directly scratched the guy who was rushing at the front.

He covered his bleeding arm with horror and anger on his face. He never imagined that a master like himself would be hurt by the other party's fan.

Xue Jinruo snorted coldly, glanced at the other three accomplices, and said with a hint of mockery in his tone: "I don't know whether to live or die!"

Upon seeing this, the other three accomplices immediately took out a long iron chain from their arms and went straight to Xue Jinruo's chest.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and held a fan in her hand, waving it constantly.

Only a crisp sound was heard, followed by a scream, and the three of them were slapped into the river.

Xue Jinruo snorted coldly, walked to a table nearby and sat down.

Sheng Jingze came over and handed her a cup of hot tea: "The Princess Regent is really good at it."

"Hmph, I thought I could be alone, but I didn't expect that the prince would actually become a hands-off shopkeeper, but I'm not ashamed." Xue Jinruo made a face at him.

She also knew that the situation just now was critical, and she had time to be there. Otherwise, when Sheng Jingze came over, she was afraid that her life would be in danger.

Sheng Jingze did not speak, but hugged her tightly when she lowered her head to pick up the tea cup, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's really great that you are okay, Jin'er, I don't dare to think about it. , what should I do if something happens to you."

These words melted in Xue Jinruo's heart.

She never expected that Sheng Jingze would have such a side.

She patted his back and chuckled: "Okay, I'm fine, don't worry."

Even so, Sheng Jingze still didn't let go of her.

……

But at this time, the Prince's Mansion was not so peaceful at all.

Sheng Chengjie originally thought that the people he sent out were already elites. Even if they couldn't get rid of Xue Jinruo, they could at least make her suffer. However, he didn't expect that he still didn't get any advantage at all. .
