Chapter 88 Men are more important than her life
Moreover, the prince on the other side has taken a fancy to the fourth princess's man, which is very troublesome! Besides, the royal family must have come to this border with a mission, right? Her smile froze on her face, and she even looked a little stiff.
"Let me give you a friendly reminder: she values the men around her more than her own life."
"I know."
After leaving, Xiao Si returned to Du Lan's table absentmindedly, still wondering why this strange woman had called her away.
"What did General Xiao say to you? You look so distracted."
"It's nothing." He said this while staring at Adar with a complicated expression.
"Young Master, are you truly determined to have Han Yuxiu?"
Adal didn't even look at him; instead, he was staring intently at the door on the second floor. As Wu Ziyan left, he became somewhat eager to try his luck.
Han Yuxiu was also getting dressed in his room, trying to calm himself down. He even pinched his thigh hard, not understanding what foolish thing he had done. With such behavior, what woman would dare to like him?
Recalling Wu Ziyan's infatuated expression, she didn't seem to show any disgust; in fact, one could say she even enjoyed it. Did she like strong men?
I shook my head, trying to stop thinking about her, otherwise that tense and uncomfortable feeling wouldn't go away.
After a while, seeing that no one was knocking on the door and Wu Ziyan wasn't coming to find him, he stood up, tidied his hair, and slowly opened the door. But as soon as he opened the door, he was met with the gaze of the person upstairs, a gaze that was so unabashed that it made him feel disgusted.
But he couldn't keep avoiding it, so he went downstairs and sat down at another table. Adal just watched him and didn't go over to provoke him. After a while, Wu Ziyan also came downstairs and went to the counter: "Boss Luo, how many days will this storm last?"
"Oh dear, sir, that's hard to say. It could be as short as a day or two, or as long as three to five days."
In three to five days, they can travel quickly. Fang Yuerong might arrive just as the storm has passed. However, if they have to stay in this small space with Han Yuxiu for the next three to five days, they won't even be able to go out for a walk. It's hard to guarantee that nothing will happen.
After all, who can resist beauty? And Han Yuxiu is such a proactive person. Without a formal title, it always feels like I'm letting everyone down.
On the other side, the Second Princess's residence
"How's your investigation into my fourth sister's whereabouts going? Did she really go on vacation?"
“Our people were intercepted by several waves along the way and we lost track of them.”
Wu Chengye stood up, smashed the teacup on the ground, and cursed, "You're all useless!"
Just then, Sima Lingyu happened to pass by outside and was spotted by Wu Chengye, whose face darkened: "Lingyu, come in here!"
Sima Lingyu's body trembled. Seeing Wu Chengye now was like a nightmare. He walked in with his eyes downcast, without any expression. Wu Chengye first smiled and asked, "Has your brother ever written to you?"
He shook his head without answering, and then Wu Chengye's expression changed. He grabbed Wu Chengye's wrist and pulled him to his chest, his eyes filled with anger and a few indescribable emotions: "You!"
"Your Highness has never been fond of me, so why did you marry me to suffer?" His words were cold and ruthless, and they pierced Wu Chengye's heart.
"Get out!" She forcefully flung Sima Lingyu's hand away, and he almost stumbled and lost his balance. Lan'er supported him with heartache, saying, "Master, why are you doing this?"
He laughed and walked out. After he left, Wu Chengye scattered the tea set all over the floor. At that moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the shadows and knelt on the ground: "Master Sima is back."
"What? He came back alone?"
"Yes!"
Where is he now?
"Your Highness, it's about forty li outside the city. We should be in the city by tonight."
A smile crept onto her lips again, her eyes narrowed, revealing a sinister glint. He had no choice but to make a chance encounter!
He put on a cloak, tied his hair up, and walked to the gate of the mansion: "Someone, prepare the fastest horse for me."
Lan'er and Sima Lingyu watched from the other side of the corridor. Lan'er said, "His Highness has gone out. Could it be that His Highness knows that the Eldest Young Master is coming back?"
"Oh no! Brother!"
On the other side, Fang Yuerong had already received Wu Ziyan's package and was just leaving the city when she happened to run into Sima Linchuan's returning carriage.
When the two carriages met, the grooms pulled on their horses, raising a cloud of dust. Fang Yuerong's carriage had a large "Fang" character on it, indicating that it was a vehicle used exclusively by their business and was faster than the others.
They didn't know who the other party was at first, but when some vehicles saw each other, Fang Yuerong's eyes lit up: "Lingchuan, it's you?"
"Yuerong, it seems you've received Ziyan's letter. Are you heading to the border of Manluo?"
"Yeah, it's been quite a hassle. Are you in such a hurry to get back to the city?"
"It'll probably be evening by the time you get back in this carriage, right? We're a little worried about that. If you take my family's carriage back, it'll arrive this afternoon."
Sima Lingchuan was indeed anxious to return at this point, so he didn't refuse: "Then thank you, Yue Rong."
"We're practically family."
"I'll trouble you to take good care of Ziyan once we reach the border."
"I know, I know. You must have something to take care of when you get back to the city. If you need anything, just go to Yue Rong Pavilion and find Ling Er."
After Fang Yuerong and Sima Lingchuan changed carriages, they continued driving. He slowly drove the carriage forward, preparing to reach the next place where their business was located, where they would change to a faster carriage.
The Fang family's carriage was indeed fast, passing by Wu Chengye's horse. Her horse was also running fast. When it passed, she reined in her horse and looked back. She found that it was the Fang family's carriage, so she didn't pay any attention and continued forward.
Sima Lingchuan returned to the Marquis's residence first. Mo Baiyun had known about his return for some time and had secretly sent people to protect him. As soon as he entered the door, Mo Baiyun came out to greet him: "Master, you must have had a hard journey."
Sima Lingchuan had a vague feeling that Mo Baiyun's identity was not simple, so he casually asked, "Do you know how my brother is doing at the Second Princess's residence?"
"I'll explain this to you in detail after you've washed up and tidied yourself up. Besides, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it, my dear husband!"
Upon hearing this, I could tell Sima Lingyu's situation in the Second Princess's residence. He simply ordered someone to bring water to wash away the dust from his many days of travel.
Wu Chengye had not seen Sima Lingchuan even after traveling at least 60 miles outside the city. She became angry again, and it was inevitable that she would vent her anger at home, and all of this would happen and she would vent it on Sima Lingyu!
She rode her horse recklessly through the streets, causing chaos and commotion, but what could she do? She was a princess.
No one dared to speak. Huang Ziliang, however, stood in front of a pastry shop, watching Wu Chengye ride past on horseback, his hand crushing the pastry in his hand.
