"Also, he also found out Miss Han’s temperament and... Prince Han’s temperament." The man suddenly gave Gu Yundong a meaningful look.
"What do you mean?" Shao Qingyuan asked.
The man coughed lightly. He had said too much just now and coughed again.
Shao Qingyuan’s face darkened as he poured him another glass of water.
Only then was the man satisfied. He continued, "Prince Han likes other people’s wives."
Shao Qingyuan suddenly stood up.
Gu Yundong quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him back. "Wait a moment, let him finish."
"Other than his wife, whom Prince Han has been married to since he was young, he also has ten concubines in his backyard. Previously, they were all other people’s wives. Some were coerced by him, some were seduced, and some were too ashamed to continue staying by his husband’s side after he abused them."
Gu Yundong was stunned. Was there something wrong with Prince Han?
No, was there something wrong with both of them?
The man looked at them. "Think about it. Why did Qiao Jinshui bring such a member of the Han family to the Xuanhe Prefecture? If he only wanted to cure Marquis Pingnan’s poison, he could have found someone to head to the marquis family. By the way, there’s one more thing. I wasn’t the one who poisoned Marquis."
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong fell silent. It wasn’t this person who went down. Perhaps... it was Qiao Jinshui.
"Who was the person who met Qiao Jinshui? What did he look like?" Shao Qingyuan asked.
The man shook his head. "I don’t know about that. They wore veiled hats when they met. My goal is the marquis family. I’m not interested in the person Qiao Jinshui wants to meet. In any case, it has nothing to do with me."
"Why would Qiao Jinshui do this?"
The man said, "From what they’re saying, they just want to cause trouble for you and make Young Master Shao anxious and unpopular. As for why they’re treating you like this, I’m not sure."
Gu Yundong felt a headache coming on. Wasn’t Qiao Jinshui a doctor? It sounded like a big conspiracy was brewing.
The man said, "It’s okay if you don’t believe me. I’ve said everything I need to say. Anyway, just pay more attention to the Han family and Qiao Jinshui. I’m a little tired. I’ll rest for a while."
With that, he slowly slid down and closed his eyes.
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan left his room after a while.
Shao Wen had already come over. Shao Qingyuan asked him to guard the door, then held Gu Yundong’s hand and went to another room.
"Do you think his words can be trusted?"
Shao Qingyuan was actually not too sure. "Fifty-fifty. Maybe he really wants to repay us for saving his life, or maybe he wants to make use of us to deal with the Han family. But he’s right about one thing. We have to pay more attention to their movements next."
"Then, should we tell Father and Grandfather?" After all, Qiao Jinshui was Bai Yong’s disciple. Although Bai Yong had many disciples, and some of them had only interacted with him for less than a year, they were still master and disciples. He was afraid that the old man would feel sad if he found out.
"Let’s tell him. If Qiao Jinshui is really such a person, remind Father and Grandpa so that they can be mentally prepared."
"Okay."
After discussing, the two of them rested in the guest room.
It was already a little late. Bian Han, Shao Yin, and the others had already gone back early.
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong were afraid that something would happen to that man, and they were also worried that Han Yao’s search would return, so they stayed in the shop tonight.
