After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure (3)

Chapter 402: Indeed interesting

As soon as Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong walked out of the deputy governor's office, the guard at the door immediately went to report to King Jin.

Although Northern City was not as prosperous as the capital, it still looked very lively, much better than Nanguang Prefecture.

The two of them strolled around for more than an hour and bought a lot of things to be sent back.

Then, they went to a restaurant for lunch.

As soon as they reached the door, a handsome man with an arrogant temperament approached them.

When she saw the person, Xi Rong was stunned and her hand that was holding Shi Qingluo's tightened.

Naturally, Shi Qingluo noticed that something was off about Xi Rong.

From this, she could guess the identity of the man who was walking towards them. It was definitely King Jin.

After all, even though Xi Rong's parents were killed by the Ge people, it was said that King Jin was behind it.

Xi Rong must have hated this prince, who was also her uncle.

Shi Qingluo reached out and squeezed Xi Rong's hand.

She wanted to remind her not to lose her composure and let King Jin discover her hatred.

She also wanted to comfort Xi Rong.

As expected, Xi Rong quickly kept all her emotions in check.

A surprised smile appeared on his face. "Fifth uncle. "

Although her mother and King Jin were not from the same mother, he was her uncle.

When King Jin was still in the capital, that was how she addressed him.

King Jin was also surprised. "Ah Rong, why are you in Northern City?

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you come to my residence to look for me?"

He gave her a concerned look.

Those who didn't know would think that he had a good relationship with his niece.

Shi Qingluo felt that King Jin was also a drama king.

This was his territory, so he probably knew about it even before they entered Northern City.

With him pretending not to know, it really seemed like that was the case.

Xi Rong smiled. "I'm accompanying a friend to Northern City to play. That's why I didn't go to your residence. I wanted to give you a surprise a few days later."

"You've always been mischievous since you were young. You're still like this even after you've grown up," King Jin laughed.

He shifted his gaze to Shi Qingluo. "This must be your friend, right? "

Xi Rong nodded. "That's right. This is my friend, Shi Qingluo."

She then said meaningfully, "You should know her, right, fifth uncle. She came to Northern City this time because your concubine invited her to attend the flower banquet."

Shi Qingluo first bowed to King Jin. "Greetings, Your Highness!"

King Jin raised his hand. "You don't have to be so polite outside."

"Naturally, I have heard about you," he said with a smile.

"Offering high-yield seeds, recipes to make iron, rubber, and glass, I have always been very curious about Mdm Shi.

"Looking at it now, I can see that Mdm Shi is not an ordinary person."

In his mind, Shi Qingluo might have had a sharp appearance and temperament, and he would always think of the village women he had seen in the manor.
