Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 219 Extra 3

Prince Chen’s Palace, Qiu Shuang Pavilion.

"So serious, what are you looking at?"

"Ledger."

"Now that I'm the mistress, I have to start managing the household?"

"I should do my job. After all, I am the Princess of Chen."

"Uncle Fu should have told you that you don't need to worry about these things."

"Yes, I have said it. However, since I am the princess and the mistress of the palace, even if I don't really take care of these things, I still have to understand them more or less. Otherwise, if there is something in the future that requires my advice or decision, and I don't know anything, it would be so embarrassing. If it gets out in the future, people will say that the wise and intelligent Prince Chen married a woman who knows nothing as his princess. Wouldn't that make people laugh?"

"I am the Prince of Chen, and you are my legitimate wife. Who dares to laugh at me? If anyone dares to say anything wrong, I will punish him."

"I know the prince loves me, I just want to take a quick look and get a general idea so as not to tire myself out."

"That's good."

"By the way, I was busy looking at the account books these days and didn't see Su Xunxian."

"I was busy with socializing and didn't see him."

"That's strange. He used to go to the palace often. Caidie, put away the account book, call Xiao Ma, and let's go look for him."

"Yes."

The three of them arrived at Su's house, but were told that he was not there and was out on business, which made Siyu even more confused. She thought: Even if he was out on business, he wouldn't come without showing up or saying hello, right? Besides, there wasn't anything important to do recently, so why was he suddenly sent out on business?

"Let's go to the Taichang Temple and ask."

The three of them came to Taichang Temple and met the temple secretary.

"Your subordinate greets Princess Chen."

"Excuse me, sir. I want to ask about the situation of Su Xunxian Su."

"Lord Su is not in the office. He took leave a few days ago."

"Take a leave? Why take a leave?"

"According to Lord Su, his grandmother is ill and he wants to go back to visit her."

“How long is the vacation?”

"Please wait a moment. Let me check it." He flipped through the notebook. "It's one month."

"Does your Excellency know where Master Su's grandmother's home is?"

"It says Xinping County in the notebook."

"Thank you, sir. Please go and do your work."

"You are too polite, my princess. I will take my leave."

"Xiao Ma, send someone you can trust to Xinping County to investigate, but don't alert his family."

"Yes."

"Cai Die, let's go back home first."

Three days later, Liuguang Pavilion.

"Master, we have checked it out. Lord Su's grandmother is in good health and has not been sick in recent days. Lord Su has not appeared in Xinping County or nearby."

"This is very strange. He asked for leave from the Imperial Palace, but told his family that he was out on business. Who lied?"

"In my humble opinion, the people in the Taichang Temple would not commit fraud, otherwise they might lose their official positions if they are discovered." Xiao Ma said.

"But I think the people in Lord Su's mansion should not lie to the master, otherwise His Highness will investigate and punish them severely." Caidie added.

"According to what you said, it is impossible for people from the Taichang Temple and the Su Mansion to lie. So the two sides' statements are inconsistent. There is only one possibility, that is, Su Xunxian himself lied to both sides."

"I don't understand why Master Su did this."

"You're so good, Su Xunxian, how dare you play hide-and-see with me? Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you." Si said gritting his teeth.

"Would you like me to send someone to look for it?"

"If you don't even know where the person is, it's a waste of effort to look for him. Don't bother."

"Should we inform His Highness?" Caidie asked.

Siyu sighed, "Xiao Ma, go and tell him, and by the way, tell His Highness that I will be staying here for a few days."

"Yes, please excuse me."
