Luo Binghe was also shocked. The person who had intimate contact with Qing'er was not the Prince of Qin, so who was it? Was it a guard from the Prince of Qin's mansion? Impossible. Qing'er had always been proud and aloof, how could she have stooped to framing the Prince of Qin with a mere guard?
Old Master Luo quickly calmed down. This matter must not be known to Qing'er, otherwise, with her temperament, she might even consider ending her life.
"Your Highness, this matter has caused trouble for you, my daughter." After weighing the pros and cons, Old Master Luo decided to clarify the whole situation. "May I ask Your Highness to tell me, who was that person?"
"Si Feng."
"Your subordinate is here." Si Feng walked out from the shadows. In appearance and demeanor, he was indistinguishable from Nangong Yu. Even they could not tell if it was the real person.
"How do you prove that it was you who had intimate contact with my daughter?" Old Master Luo looked at Si Feng and asked aggressively.
As one of Nangong Yu's four great guards and his body double, Si Feng had seen all sorts of grand occasions. "Old Master Luo might as well go back and ask Miss Luo, what birthmark does the Prince of Qin have?"
Old Master Luo looked at Luo Bingqing. Luo Bingqing immediately went to find Luo Bingqing. If this matter was Luo Bingqing's scheme, then Luo Bingqing must have seen if the other party had a birthmark!
The study fell into silence, only the sound of Nangong Yu perusing documents and writing could be heard. Old Master Luo's gaze occasionally fell on Si Feng, who remained unfazed. In this world, he only feared their master... no, Princess Yongning was also one of them. This person was always elusive and could discern the truth from falsehood at a glance!
Luo Binghe returned quickly. The father and son exchanged glances, and Luo Binghe nodded slowly, looking at the Prince of Qin. "Qing'er said that person has a red birthmark on his butt."
Si Feng sighed, lifted his robe, untied his belt, and revealed the red birthmark on his butt to the two of them. "His Highness has no birthmark."
The last shred of hope in Old Master Luo's heart was shattered. His daughter had indeed given herself to a guard. Although Si Feng was a guard, his status in the Prince of Qin's mansion was not low. But no matter how high, he was still just a guard, and Old Master Luo looked down on him!
However, with the deed done, the Prince of Qin would never take Luo Bingqing now. He had no choice!
"Can this matter be kept from my daughter for now? I fear she will not be able to take it and try to end her life."
"Agreed."
"As for Guard Si Feng," Old Master Luo looked at Si Feng, "are you willing to take responsibility?"
"No," Si Feng said without hesitation.
"What did you say?" Old Master Luo's brows furrowed in anger, glaring at Si Feng. Just a mere guard, daring to look down on her? "You ruined my daughter's purity, and you dare not take responsibility?"
"Old Master, one must be reasonable!" Si Feng said, neither subservient nor overbearing. "I already have a girl I like. It was your daughter who ruined my purity. I don't even know how to explain this to the girl I like. If she dislikes me because of this... I will never let this matter rest!"
Utterly shameless! Old Master Luo could only think this. What purity could a man have? He had taken my daughter's body and then claimed my daughter ruined his purity, making it impossible to explain to the girl he liked!
"Then what does Guard Si Feng want to do?"
"I will not admit to this! I was forced!" Si Feng declared righteously. "No matter what you say, I will not marry her!"
"Fine, I am being unreasonable. Your Highness, Prince of Qin, I shall take my leave."
After the Luo father and son left, Nangong Yu looked at Si Feng.
"You have a girl you like?"
Si Feng blushed and nodded. "Master, what should I do? This matter has become so big. If she finds out, and refuses to marry me, won't I be destined to be alone forever?"
Nangong Yu's mouth twitched. "Whose daughter is it?"
Si Feng rubbed his sleeves and fidgeted. "Miss Xiao's."
Nangong Yu's hand trembled. "Miss Xiao's daughter?" Su Dan Novel Network
Si Feng shook his head and poked his fingers. "She is a maid by Princess Yongning's side."
Nangong Yu thought carefully about the maids around Xiao Man. "You like Yingxue?"
Si Feng shook his head. "Yingxue is boisterous like a tomboy, I don't like her."
"Then Qiu Tong?"
"Qiu Tong is too soft and lacking in personality."
"You like Si Yue?" Nangong Yu asked with realization. Si Yue was originally one of his four great guards, and had grown up with Si Feng and the others. She was later given to Xiao Man and is now called Xi Yue.
"She's a buddy!"
Nangong Yu thought again about the more outstanding girls around Xiao Man. "Chu Xue or Xiang Xue?"
"Neither." Si Feng bit his lip, looking as if he was secretly pleased. "It's Yin Zhu."
Yin Zhu? Nangong Yu thought carefully and finally remembered who Yin Zhu was. A second-tier maid by Xiao Man's side, usually like a transparent person. Every time he went there, she never came forward. For a moment, he couldn't recall such a person.
"Is she outstanding?"
"Of course, she is a capable subordinate of Princess Yongning. Even though she doesn't know martial arts, she is very capable." Si Feng's expression was tender and loving. "I like this type."
"Since that girl is so smart, she likely wouldn't think much of you." A trace of suspicion flashed in Nangong Yu's eyes. The mole in Xiao Man's entourage had not been found yet. Could this Yin Zhu be the mole?
"Why?" Si Feng asked, confused.
"Because you're not very bright!"
Si Feng's face immediately fell. "Yes, usually, although she always smiles, she never tells me anything when I try to get information from her."
"What information were you trying to get from her?"
"Princess Yongning's preferences. I was trying to find out Princess Yongning's preferences for Your Highness. I could always get some useful information from other girls, but Yin Zhu's mouth is very tight and she tells me nothing. However, ever since then, she stares at me every time I go there. She must like me."
Nangong Yu rubbed his temples. Si Feng was good in all aspects, except for his lack of intelligence. How could she like you? She was clearly wary of you, thinking you had ulterior motives!
However, did this also indicate that Yin Zhu was reliable? Then who was the traitor among Xiao Man's entourage?
The maids around Xiao Man, Yingxue, Chuxue, and Xiangxue were all secret guards, their loyalty was guaranteed. Xi Yue was his person. Yin Zhu never leaked any information about Xiao Man. Qiu Tong had grown up with Xiao Man, their bond was extraordinary. Who was the traitor?
Or, the traitor was not among these people at all? Nangong Yu's gaze shifted slightly. With his understanding of Xiao Man, if there were truly problems with people around her, she would never let them go free and would have exposed them long ago. If the traitor was not among her maids, where would they be?
