Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Si Ruochen raised his eyebrows. The actions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were really unpredictable. He used various excuses to send Jiang Chen and him away one after another. Could it be that he wanted to harm Xiaoxue?

"It seems that Miss Si is really loved. Huai Chen and Mr. Si both care about you so much. Oh, thinking about my useless fourth brother, the relationship between you three really makes me envious."

Seeing that Si Ruochen didn't move, Shangguan Jin didn't urge him. He just turned his head and looked at Jiang Xue with envy.

Jiang Xue looked at him. This man sent his two brothers away just because he wanted to talk to her alone about some topics that he didn't want them to know.

He was thoughtful and had a purpose for doing this. She had just arrived and would inevitably have to deal with these people in the future. Even if she could avoid them this time, she would not be able to avoid them next time. She might as well take this opportunity to have a good chat and get to know this person.

"Brother, please help me count the gifts."

He nodded to Si Ruochen, signaling him not to worry, and then let him leave the flower hall.

"Your Highness, if you have any questions, feel free to ask now."

Now, there were only two of them left in the entire flower hall. Jiang Xue went straight to the point and met Shangguan Jin's eyes.

"Miss Si's decisive personality is something I admire very much."

He has always admired women who are courageous and resourceful, and Jiang Xue is exactly his type.

"Huai Chen has been in Beixi for more than two years. I think I know him very well. I have known him for so long. If he really has a fiancée, I would have known about it long ago. It would not have suddenly appeared now. So I am very curious, Miss Si, what exactly is your identity?"

Ever since he found Jiang Chen on the battlefield, Jiang Chen had been alone, and even when he was the crown prince of Qian State, he had never heard of him being engaged to any noble woman.

The sudden appearance of a fiancée today naturally made him more suspicious. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to find out more about her.

"The prince has spies all over the country. I guess you have already ordered an investigation when I showed up?"

Unfortunately, there isn't much information to be found about the name "Si Ruoxin".

"Young lady is right. I did investigate you, but the result was not satisfactory. There is no woman named Si Ruoxin in the entire Beixi." Shangguan Jin supported his right hand on his knee, his body slightly leaning towards Jiang Xue.

"Ruoxin is not from Beixi, so it is normal that Your Highness cannot find out."

"That's true." Shangguan Jin smiled. "So I not only conducted investigations in Beixi, but also in other countries. The results were quite beyond my expectations. Miss Si and Master Si are siblings, right? Does Miss Si know the origins of Master Si Ruochen?"

His words set off alarm bells in Jiang Xue's heart.

What does he mean?

In Jiang Xue's impression, senior brother Si Ruochen had been raised by his master in Changle Mountain since birth.

So she had always thought that Si Ruochen was from Qian country, but for some reason he left his parents and was adopted by his master. But now listening to Shangguan Jin's words, Si Ruochen's background did not seem that simple.

Seeing Jiang Xue remained silent, Shangguan Jin smiled gently and slowly said, "It seems that Miss Si doesn't know. Then let me tell you. Because I couldn't find Miss Si's whereabouts, I wanted to change my thinking and start with the people around Miss Si. There might be new clues. So I chose Si Ruochen, but I didn't expect to find something unexpected during the investigation."

Shangguan Jin took out a portrait and showed it to Jiang Xue: "Miss Si, take a look. Does the person in this portrait look familiar?"

This is a portrait of a palace concubine. The woman in the painting is extraordinarily beautiful, with an extraordinary temperament, and the clothes she is wearing seem to be Ying Xia's.

But what attracted Jiang Xue's attention was not the clothes, but the face of the woman in the painting, which was extremely similar to Si Ruochen.

"Looks like Si Ruochen, doesn't she?" Shangguan Jin said, "I was also shocked at first. The woman in the portrait is the imperial concubine of Ying Xia. I heard that she gave birth to a baby more than ten years ago, but then the baby disappeared for some reason and its whereabouts are still unknown.

I carefully compared Si Ruochen's date of birth and found that he and the baby were born on the same day of the same month of the same year. Miss Si, do you think this coincidence is strange?"

Shangguan Jin only learned about Si Ruochen's strange life experience by chance.

If he is the son of Imperial Concubine Ying Xia, then Jiang Xue cannot be his sister.

This makes the woman's identity even more mysterious.

It is not a good thing for such an unidentified woman to stay with Jiang Chen.

"There are many people in this world who look alike, and it's not uncommon to have the same birthday. It's probably too early to determine a person's background based on appearance and birthday alone, Your Highness." Although she was shocked, Jiang Xue remained calm in front of Shangguan Jin: "If you really want to confirm my brother's identity, Your Highness might as well ask Concubine Ying Xia directly."

"If Imperial Concubine Yingxia were still alive, I would naturally go and verify it. Unfortunately, Imperial Concubine Yingxia died shortly after giving birth. The Imperial Concubine's family was exterminated because they offended the Queen.

Now the only person who can verify it is the emperor of Yingxia. But Miss Si should also know that Beixi and Yingxia are far apart, and the relationship between the two countries is not friendly. There is no need for me to spend so much energy for Si Ruochen. "Shangguan Jin said.

You've already found out the person's birth date and mother's portrait, and you still say there's no need to waste energy?

Jiang Xue secretly complained in her heart and rolled her eyes silently.

"Besides, what I am concerned about now is not Si Ruochen's background, but your background. If Si Ruochen is really the son of Imperial Concubine Ying Xia, then you, Miss Si,"

When saying the last sentence, Jiang Xue clearly felt the coldness in Shangguan Jin's eyes.

"According to my understanding, Imperial Concubine Ying Xia only has one son. What is your purpose?"

Question after question came at Jiang Xue like a storm.

"Isn't your concern for Mr. Huaichen a bit excessive? Ruoxin is Mr. Huaichen's fiancée, who is acknowledged by him personally. Mr. Huaichen is not a fool. Would he tolerate someone with ulterior motives staying by his side? Even Mr. Huaichen didn't suspect me. Isn't your Highness thinking too much?"

I always feel like something is wrong, but Jiang Xue thinks Shangguan Jin seems to be too nervous about his brother.

This woman was really a headache. For the first time, Shangguan Jin felt that he had suffered a loss in a verbal dispute. This made him feel frustrated and even gave rise to the idea of ​​killing her.

In this verbal battle, he was unable to extract any useful information from the woman.

It's really frustrating.

Their eyes met and sparks flew.

Both sides were very aggressive and neither was willing to give in.

"Your Highness, I have already sent all the official documents and memorials to the Crown Prince's Palace."
