Chapter 208 Hesitated
When Han Min heard the word "loyalty", she was stunned.
Seeing Han Min's stunned look, Ling Xiyue raised her lips slightly and continued, "I have known Shi Hui for almost a year, and I know his character. He is a good man who values friendship and loyalty, and is worthy of entrusting your life to."
It took a while for Han Min to come back to her senses. Seeing Ling Xiyue looking at her tenderly, she forced a smile.
"That's what the Queen said."
After saying that, Han Min didn't say anything more. He lowered his head slightly, looking thoughtful.
Ling Xiyue saw Han Min's reaction. She couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw that Han Min's smile was so forced.
"Min'er, do you know why I came here today?" Ling Xiyue decided to change her "strategy".
Han Min was startled. She raised her head slightly, glanced at Ling Xiyue, and then lowered her eyes again.
"I know." Han Min whispered.
Ling Xiyue looked at the "smart" Han Min and stopped beating around the bush.
"To be honest, it was His Highness who asked me to come here and enlighten you today."
"Yes, thank you Your Highness and Your Majesty for your concern. I am very grateful." Han Min complimented.
"But, I was not forced, I did it voluntarily. I really believe in Shi Hui's character, so I came here to enlighten you." Ling Xiyue said seriously.
Hearing this, Han Min raised her head slightly and looked at Ling Xiyue. Seeing Ling Xiyue's sincere face, she thought of Shi Hui and hesitated.
Seeing that Han Min didn't say anything, Ling Xiyue continued: "Min'er, you are a smart person, I won't beat around the bush and will speak directly. Perhaps you have discovered something unusual from Shi Hui's subtle actions, but you can think about it carefully again. If Shi Hui really changed his mind, he would definitely not care about your feelings, let alone ask His Highness for help. Let me enlighten you."
As soon as the words fell, Han Min was stunned for a moment. She stared at Ling Xiyue, and seemed to have thought of something in her mind.
"Do you know why I believe in Shi Hui?" Ling Xiyue asked the question deliberately.
Han Min shook his head and said nothing, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Actually, the real reason I believe in Shi Hui is because of His Highness." Ling Xiyue said with a smile.
"Your Highness?" Han Min was a little confused.
"Because I trust Your Highness very much, and Shi Hui has been with Your Highness since he was a child. If Shi Hui is not an upright person, I believe Your Highness would not keep him by his side all the time, nor would he use him so much." Ling Xiyue explained.
Han Min was startled, and when he thought of Shi Hui, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
Ling Xiyue was secretly happy when she saw that Han Min was a little shaken.
"Min'er, we are all women, I can understand your feelings and the pain in your heart, so I respect your choice. But I still want you to know what should be said."
"Yes. I understand." Han Min nodded obediently.
"Okay, I'll stop here. Think about it carefully by yourself. No matter what, I won't make things difficult for you." Ling Xiyue said softly.
After saying that, she moved her body.
When Han Min saw this, he immediately reached out and helped Ling Xiyue up.
"My lady, slow down."
"Okay." Ling Xiyue said with a smile.
With Han Min's support, Ling Xiyue walked out of the room. Seeing this, Xiaoyin immediately stepped forward and supported Ling Xiyue instead of Han Min.
"I'm going back. You should have a good rest too." Ling Xiyue looked at Han Min again and said gently.
"Yes, I look forward to seeing your Majesty off." Han Min bowed and nodded in response.
Ling Xiyue nodded, and then she and Xiaoyin slowly left the yard.
Han Min stood there and watched Ling Xiyue and the others leave. After he could no longer see them, he turned around and walked into the room.
She sat at the table, thinking back to what Ling Xiyue had said to her. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable and guilty she felt.
……
After leaving Ruyiyuan, Ling Xiyue went straight to He Tingxi's study.
When she walked into the study, Xiaoyin was waiting outside the door, so she went in alone.
As soon as I entered, I saw Shi Hui standing next to He Tingxi.
She couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Shi Hui, are you here?"
As soon as Shi Hui saw Ling Xiyue, a smile appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Shi Hui still bowed politely.
As soon as He Tingxi saw Ling Xiyue, he immediately stood up from his chair, walked quickly to Ling Xiyue's side, and supported Ling Xiyue.
"So soon? Come and sit down first."
As He Tingxi spoke, he helped Ling Xiyue sit down on the chair, while he stood beside the chair.
"How was the conversation?"
He Tingxi glanced at Shi Hui before turning his gaze to Ling Xiyue and asked anxiously.
"There should be no problem." Ling Xiyue looked at Shi Hui first, then at He Tingxi.
"Should?" He Tingxi was a little surprised.
"I can only say should, not guarantee. After all, Han Min hasn't fully expressed her position yet, but I can tell from her expression and behavior that she is wavering." Ling Xiyue said with a smile.
"Are you shaken?" Shi Hui couldn't help but feel excited when he heard that.
"Ah."
Ling Xiyue nodded slightly. She looked at Shi Hui and suggested, "Shi Hui, you should go back to Ruyiyuan later and say some good things to Han Min. There should be no problem."
Shi Hui was overjoyed. He nodded and bowed to Ling Xiyue, saying, "Well, I would like to thank you first."
"No need to thank me, just go ahead." Ling Xiyue said with a smile.
"Yes." Shi Hui responded, nodded to He Tingxi, and left the study.
He Tingxi spoke only after seeing Shi Hui retreat.
"Xiyue, are you really okay?" He Tingxi still found it hard to believe.
"Han Min is a smart woman. She should be able to distinguish things. Isn't it too impulsive to doubt her husband who is so considerate to her just based on a few words from outsiders?" Ling Xiyue asked back.
"There is some truth to that." He Tingxi suddenly understood and said with a smile.
"As long as Shi Hui goes back and gives him some more comfort, there shouldn't be any problem." Ling Xiyue smiled slightly.
He Tingxi nodded with satisfaction.
"This time, it's all thanks to Xiyue." He Tingxi praised.
"Don't say that. Tingxi, your business is my business." Ling Xiyue looked at He Tingxi and smiled.
He Tingxi was stunned and felt extremely happy. He held Ling Xiyue's hand tightly with tenderness in his eyes.
"It's great to have you." He Tingxi said softly.
Looking at He Tingxi's affectionate eyes, Ling Xiyue felt a little uneasy for a moment. Thinking of leaving He Tingxi in the future, she lowered her eyes and did not look He Tingxi directly.
"Tingxi, you have always taken good care of me. Of course I have to repay you. I can't just do nothing."
"Return? Strictly speaking, I owe you more, not you." He Tingxi added with a smile.
"Tingxi, you don't owe me anything, I owe you more." Ling Xiyue retorted.
After he finished speaking, He Tingxi smiled helplessly.
"Why, are we arguing about this?"
Ling Xiyue was stunned. She smiled innocently. She was afraid that if they continued arguing, He Tingxi would start to have wild thoughts, so she had to agree with what He Tingxi said.
"Okay, let's not argue. Let's just assume that we both owe each other a lot and cancel each other out."
"Offset?"
He Tingxi immediately became interested in this word. He asked curiously, "What you said is interesting. What does it mean to cancel out?"
