When Hua Manman learned that Hua Qingqing was safe, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had risked her life to save Hua Qingqing and the Seventh Prince; if some unknown assassin had ended up harming them anyway, she would have simply died from sheer anger.
Hua Dingzong and Madam He hadn't expected Prince Zhao to be so thoughtful as to inquire about Hua Zhaorong's situation on their behalf. The couple was deeply moved and hurried to thank him.
"Thank you for going to the trouble of asking about Qingqing for us."
Li Ji replied casually, "It was a small matter. Father-in-law, would you care to join me in the study?"
He was trying to get Hua Dingzong out of the way so that Madam He and Manman could have a private word.
Hua Dingzong had no idea. He thought Prince Zhao was showing him special favor and hastily agreed.
"Yes, yes, of course!"
And just like that, Hua Dingzong followed Prince Zhao out.
This left Madam He to continue her idle chat with Manman.
