Li Wei looked up and suddenly noticed Xia Qing's unusual expression, realizing his previous words might have been inappropriate.
He knew Xia Qing well; could Xia Qing be suspecting him of colluding with Prince Jing?
He quickly voiced his thoughts, fearing that any misunderstanding would make future cooperation difficult.
Li Wei stayed at Xia Qing's mansion for a full two hours, only leaving hurriedly just before the curfew to return to his own place.
He believed he had dispelled Xia Qing's suspicions and left reassured.
"Mr. He, you were right! Li Wei has indeed found a new master." Xia Qing sighed, expressing his thoughts to He Zhongkuan.
He Zhongkuan stepped out from the inner chamber and gave a bow. Beneath the concealment of his robe, a smile crept across his lips.
The study in Prince Jing Mansion was as bright as day, illuminated by several lamps, and Prince Jing was diligently writing at his desk.
Suddenly, Xiao Chengzi entered the study.
