Chapter 204 Taking the bait
After Xiao Li left the room, he immediately sent someone to the outside of Prince Yan's Mansion to monitor Han Min's entry and exit.
next day
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Han Min took her personal maid and left Prince Yan's Mansion in a carriage.
When Qu Heng's people saw this, they immediately went back to Qu Mansion to inform Qu Heng.
After Han Min and her maid got off the carriage, they walked into a clothing shop to choose some fabrics.
Han Min lowered her head and selected carefully. After looking at all the fabrics on the table, she asked Xiao Ran, the maid beside her.
"Xiao Ran, which fabric do you think is more suitable for adults?"
Xiao Ran pointed to the third one and replied, "I think this one is good."
Han Min looked at the third fabric and was somewhat dissatisfied.
"It's good, but I always feel it's a bit gaudy. If I wear it, it will look a bit ostentatious." Han Min frowned.
After hearing this, Xiao Ran had no choice but to respond: "Madam is right."
Han Min lowered his head and began to study again.
Suddenly, a voice came from beside Han Min.
"I think this fabric will be better."
Hearing the voice, Han Min looked sideways and saw a handsome man standing next to him, with an attendant beside him.
At first glance, he looks familiar, but I just can't remember who he is.
This man is none other than Qu Heng.
When Qu Heng saw Han Min looking at him, he smiled slightly and pointed to the fourth type of fabric.
"I think this fabric is more suitable for Master Shi Hui's style."
Han Min followed Qu Heng's hand, looked down at the fourth piece of cloth, and then she nodded.
"Well, indeed, I just thought this was very suitable, but I just couldn't make up my mind."
After that, she said to the boss: "Boss, I want this, give me two first."
"Okay, Mrs. Han, I'll ask someone to prepare it for you right away."
"Thank you." Han Min responded politely.
"Mrs. Han, please sit down at the table and wait?" the boss asked respectfully.
"No, just stand." Han Min refused.
Seeing this, the boss did not force him. He immediately ordered the store helpers to go to the warehouse and prepare the cloth.
He continued to stand in front of the counter and greet Qu Heng.
"Mr. Qu, welcome to our small shop. The fabrics on the counter are all of the finest quality. Which one do you like?"
"Okay. Let me take a look." Qu Heng nodded in response.
Han Min heard the voice and looked at Qu Heng. After taking a quick look, he said politely, "So you are the eldest son of the Qu family. I am sorry for the rudeness."
"Mrs. Han, you're welcome." Qu Heng also responded politely.
Han Min just smiled and nodded politely to Qu Heng.
She did not continue talking to Qu Heng, but stood there waiting for her cloth.
Seeing that Han Min ignored him, Qu Heng said nothing more and continued to stand aside, pretending to pick out fabrics.
By chance, Qu Heng saw a piece of fabric that was very similar to the one Shi Hui wore on the day he saved Su Mei.
Looking at the cloth, Qu Heng suddenly came up with an idea.
He looked up at the boss, pointed at the cloth, and asked, "Boss, the pattern of this cloth is very good. Do you have two pieces in the warehouse?"
The boss looked down and said with a smile, "Mr. Qu has a good eye. Of course we have them. We can have ten if you want them."
"Okay, give me two first."
"it is good."
The boss then ordered his assistant to get some cloth.
Han Min had been paying attention to Qu Heng's actions. When she saw that Qu Heng chose the fabric that Shi Hui also had, she felt a little unhappy and her face darkened, but she did not say anything.
Qu Heng noticed the change in Han Min's expression out of the corner of his eye, and he was secretly delighted.
"Mrs. Han, what do you think of the fabric I chose? It's pretty good, right?" Qu Heng asked deliberately.
"Not bad." Han Min forced a smile, nodded, and said nothing more.
Seeing that Han Min stopped talking, Qu Heng continued, "I remember that Lord Shi Hui also had clothes with similar patterns."
Han Min looked at Qu Heng. Seeing that Qu Heng had brought up this topic, she stopped being silent and directly affirmed what Qu Heng said.
"Yes, you remembered correctly."
"Really?" Qu Heng looked shocked, then he looked at his boss.
"Boss, I don't want this fabric anymore. How can I wear the same clothes as Master Shi Hui?"
The boss paused after hearing this, and then responded, "Okay, Mr. Qu, why don't you choose something else?"
"it is good."
Then he told his helpers not to prepare any more.
When Han Min saw Qu Heng taking away the cloth, she was secretly delighted and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"When did I see Lord Shi Hui wearing that kind of fabric?" Qu Heng deliberately muttered to himself.
Han Min just looked at Qu Heng quietly without saying anything, with a hint of curiosity in her heart.
Qu Heng pretended to think for a long time before he suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now. That day, I rented a carriage and wanted to go out for a trip. I met Lord Shi Hui in a small forest outside the capital. That day, he was wearing clothes with this pattern."
Han Min was startled when she heard this. She asked hurriedly, "That day? Which day? The grove outside the capital?"
When Qu Heng was asked by Han Min, he immediately covered his mouth with his hands in fear, looking panic-stricken.
"No, nothing, nothing."
After that, he looked at his follower Xiao Li and said, "Xiao Li, shall we go back home?"
"Yes."
Just as Qu Heng and the others were about to leave and Han Min wanted to ask more questions, the boss's voice interrupted everything.
"Mrs. Han, the cloth you requested is ready. Shall we put it on the carriage for you?"
"Okay." Han Min had no choice but to respond to the boss first.
I saw the helpers moving the cloth onto Han Min's carriage.
At this time, Qu Heng nodded to Han Min and said, "Mrs. Han, I will take my leave now."
Seeing that Qu Heng was about to leave, Han Min became a little anxious. She motioned for Xiao Ran to go and pay the bill, and she said to Qu Heng, "Mr. Qu, can you please have a word with me?"
Qu Heng was overjoyed to see Han Min took the bait, and he nodded reluctantly.
"it is good."
Han Min walked out first, and Qu Heng followed behind.
After Xiao Li came out of the shop, he did not follow, but stood beside the carriage and watched from afar.
After leaving the store, Han Min chose an empty corner to stop, and Qu Heng also stopped.
"Mr. Qu, there's no one here. You just said that you saw my husband in the grove outside the capital? What day was it? What was he doing at that time?" Han Min asked directly.
Hearing this, Qu Heng pretended to be embarrassed and hesitated, "Madam Han, this, no, it's hard to say."
"Just tell me, I won't tell my husband." Han Min hurriedly comforted her.
"Well, that's right. Five or six days ago, I also saw Madam Sumei. She was attacked by men in black. It was Lord Shi Hui who saved her and carried the unconscious Madam Sumei into the carriage. Afterwards, Lord Shi Hui personally sent Madam Sumei back to the capital." Qu Heng lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice.
Han Min was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of disbelief.
Seeing Han Min standing there in silence, Qu Heng knew that his goal had been achieved, so he said, "I'll take my leave now."
After saying this, Qu Heng turned and walked away without waiting for Han Min's response.
By the time Xiao Ran reached Han Min's side, Qu Heng and his carriage had already gone far away.
Seeing Han Min in a daze, Xiao Ran asked with concern, "Madam, what's wrong? Is there any bad news?"
