Chapter 1059 - Will You Help Me Fix It?

Li Xue stared at Feng Shufen and this time; it wasn\'t hard for her to read his expressions. Her brows tugged together as her eyes squinted at him. "Mr. Beelzebub, what is he about?" She asked, already agreeing to know his thoughts.

Feng Shufen stood up and turned to look out of the window. In the depth of darkness of the night, his eyes grew more deep. "It\'s related to the royal politics. Things in the royal family aren\'t as simple as it looks on the surface. Their sweet talks are just to show to the citizens while internally everyone is fighting for power among themselves."

"But I never deemed to see the things in the royal family as simple. They have always looked very complicated to me." Li Xue said according to her remembrance of the things. Though there were very few encounters she had with the people, whatever she had, they were enough to let her know how messy things were beneath. Be it the things with Princess Shen, Prince Su, or even the members she met on the first day of introduction.

Feng Shufen nodded at her with some thought; to which Li Xue was quick to ask, "Even if that\'s complicated, what was the benefit of Prince Su behind getting Princess Shen punished?"

"That was for his benefit." He said and Li Xue looked at him with confusion filled in her gaze.

"Benefit?"

At the same time, in the villa where Su Ce was staying:

"Did you send someone to report the things to Uncle Shen? I am sure he must definitely be heartbroken hearing Her Highness treat his daughter like that." Su Ce asked, resting all comfortably on the sofa with his eyes closed while his hands held the goblet of wine.

Pei Biming, who stood at the side hummed in reply. "Yes, Master. Mr. Shen has been informed about it and if things worked the way we have forecasted then by tomorrow he would already be on his way to the palace to discuss the things with Her Highness." He reported and Su Ce\'s lips curled up in victory.

Opening his eyes, the next very moment, he cheered, "Of course, he would be running to seek his answers to the royal palace. After all, an insult of the dear princess like that would also make Uncle Shen feel insulted. And given the relationship, he has always shared with our dear Majesty, insult could be the last thing he would accept."

He said before taking a sip from his glass and then bringing it down to swirl in fun. "Ahh, that would be a squabble worth watching. But tsk tsk, we would have to miss it to retain the dignity of our family\'s internal affairs." He added more as the creepy smile grew intense over his lips.

Pei Biming, who could understand and was all known to the things was still confused. Though he knew that all of this was to create the rift between the royal couple and the royal Shen family, he still couldn\'t understand the change in the mood of his boss.

"Master, if you don\'t mind, may I ask you something?"

Su Ce took another sip from his goblet and nodded. "What is it?"

"Master, Princess Shen has been liking you all these years. After today, don\'t you think, she would be heartbroken?" The assistant asked, and raising his brows with some amusement at his askance, the man nodded.

"Of course, she would be. Is there still a need to ask that? She is no other but Princess Shen Bingling, who has loved her reputation and dignity the most. After today she would be heartbroken. Especially for she knew that on the whole, she wasn\'t at wrong."

"Then should we …" Before Pei Biming could even complete his say, Su Ce shook his head in rejection.

"No, we interfered too much already. It\'s not our job now. Let them handle it on their own. Furthermore, with Princess Shen, there is nothing more we have to do. In the previous years, I have been lurking around her thinking that it would pave my way into the dear books of Uncle Shen. But after today, I guess, that won\'t be needed. As when separated from His Majesty and Her Royal Highness, Uncle Shen would have no other option but to come to stand on my side." He said and his words were enough to clear the misconception that the assistant held all these years.

Nodding, he hummed. "Got it, Master. I will keep my eyes on the things. Once things would take place, I would report you immediately."

Su Ce took his easy sips slowly as he smiled on his own enjoying the smooth taste of the drink. "Also look into the real person responsible for today\'s incident. I am sure that story would also be interesting. After all, it\'s always fun to know the stories related to the real Princess of Chiboa."

He said and wordlessly, Pei Biming nodded.

Back in the royal palace,

Li Xue\'s expression was now turned all severe. "So do you mean that whatever happened today, Prince Su Ce has used it in his own benefit to aim it on Ma and Pa?" She said, without noticing the change of address in her tone.

Feng Shufen nodded. But his eyes paused. He didn\'t fail to notice the change in her tone, nor did he have any complaints regarding it. Until she would be treated fair and well, past things and his rivalries didn\'t matter. After all, knowing her all this time, he knew one thing more about her. Though the woman never showed in front, she did crave a family in her heart.

"Impossible. That man is simply impossible. How could he be so cunning?" Li Xue couldn\'t believe it. Like she has said, she had guessed about the personality of Su Ce, but what she never guessed was his level. But now that she was getting to know about him more, she could feel nothing but her nerve aching at his name.

Shaking her head, she denied. "Mr. Beelzebub, I can\'t let this happen. I will feel wrong if I come to know that using me, he aimed at my family. Ma has always treated me well, but for me, if she has to face backlashes from her own people. That won\'t be good. Will you help me fix it?"

She asked openly for his help. Then how could Feng Shufen deny? Nodding, he agreed before looking at her face. "I will always support you." He said and Li Xue at once felt all-powerful and ready to charge on the mission.

But as if guessed her thoughts already, before she could start her plan, Feng Shufen added to pause her in her thoughts. "I will listen to all of it, but not now. It\'s already late. You need to rest, so sleep first." He said before reaching her to get her in the position on the bed, ready to sleep.

Li Xue wanted to refute, but given his firm tone and stance, at the moment, she could only give in.. Pressing her lips, she could only accept him covering her first before lying beside her to make sure that she gets her sleep for the night.
