Chapter 512 The Third Prince Wins

Although it was a joke, Big Girl's Mother was really happy for Shen Wan.

This little girl has suffered so much, and now she has found a true lover to spend the rest of her life with, which can be considered a happy ending.

She didn't try to persuade Shen Wan to stay and let her leave.

In fact, Shen Wan was not hungry, but she still wanted to go back and take a look.

The villain has been appearing and disappearing like a ghost recently, either going to the camp or to the mountains.

Every time he came back, he was exhausted and didn't even have time to say a word to her.

The border war has been going on for so long, and no one knows what the current situation is.

Today, the roads in Lanyang City are blocked and information is cut off. All communication with the outside world depends on carrier pigeons.

Amidst her wild thoughts, Shen Wan returned to the Princess's Mansion.

The princess's mansion was huge, and some of the fugitives who had traveled with her had no place to stay, so Shen Wan selected a few honest and loyal families to live with her.

Of course, they don’t live there for free. They take care of all the rough work like cleaning the yard and trimming the flowers and plants.

Shen Wan originally wanted to hire a few servants, after all, Ran Qiu was too tired to work alone.

Seeing that these people didn't have a suitable job, she discussed it with Xie Mubai and decided to hire them directly.

"The princess is back!" As soon as he saw Chen Wan, a young man who was cleaning the courtyard came forward with a smile.

Shen Wan glanced at him and said with a smile: "You don't eat at noon, why are you sweeping the floor here?"

"Of course we have to sweep it." The boy said seriously with a stern face, "It's autumn now, and there will be fallen leaves on the ground soon."

"My mother said that the princess likes cleanliness, and she asked me to clean the courtyard thoroughly, without leaving even a single leaf."

After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but look around.

This princess's mansion was rebuilt on the original site, and all the trees are old trees from before.

When the breeze blew, the yellow dead leaves fell down like heartbroken butterflies.

According to the strict standards of the old lady, the boy would probably have to be on call 24 hours a day without even a moment's rest.

"Some fallen leaves are pretty nice too. That's the true charm of autumn." Shen Wan looked at it for a while and smiled, "From now on, just clean it up once every morning. The rest of the time you can go to the orphanage to read and write."

"If your mother asks, just tell her it was my idea."

Although the boy was tall, he was only about fourteen or fifteen years old, and there was still a childish look in his brows.

It would be a shame to keep him trapped in this big house just to clean the yard.

The young man heard this and shook his head.

"Can I go guard the city gate with Lord Hu?" He thought for a moment and said seriously, "I started learning to read and write when I was three years old. Although I'm not as talented as Master Wang Qi, I'm not completely ignorant either."

"I want to learn martial arts and protect my family."

Although he is young, this boy is the child of an official family after all.

Especially after experiencing that exile, he was naturally much more sensitive to politics than other children of the same age.

Although Lanyang City is calm now, he knows clearly that this is the eve of a storm.

Looking at the boy's serious look, Shen Wan couldn't help but laugh: "Be good, this is an adult's matter, you don't have to worry about it."

"But I'm already fourteen!" The young man said with a sullen face and a determined look in his eyes. "The Duke of Zhenguo was already a vanguard at the age of thirteen, and he could lead the troops to attack foreign nations."

"Although I'm not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the Duke of Zhenguo, guarding the city gate shouldn't be a problem for me."

"Princess, please promise me."

"Even though you guys don't say anything, I know clearly that the war situation outside is not good, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to remain unscathed."

Not only him, everyone in Lanyang City knew the situation.

Ever since the Duke of Zhenguo died for his country, the Wei Dynasty has been unable to find a suitable general, and the foreign army will sooner or later attack the capital.

When the nest is overturned, no eggs can remain intact.

Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to give it a try.

"You should discuss it with your mother first." Shen Wan thought for a moment and said, "If she agrees, then I have no objection."

The young man was delighted.

He bowed to Shen Wan and immediately ran to the west wing with the broom in his hand.

As for whether the boy's mother would agree, Shen Wan didn't care.

However, even this young man living in a deep mansion knew that the battle situation outside was not good. It seemed that the third prince would definitely lose badly.

Lose, keep losing!

As long as he keeps losing, the villain will be able to take action.

Thinking of this, Shen Wan quickened her pace and hurried to the backyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xie Mubai standing in front of the window with a frown on his face, and his dark eyes flashed with indescribable sharpness and coldness.

Shen Wan looked at it and felt her heart suddenly tighten.

As soon as he saw her, Xie Mubai's beautiful brows immediately relaxed.

He looked so gentle, as if the person with the fierce gaze just now was not him.

"I thought you'd be having dinner at Big Girl's." He hurried forward and asked with a smile, "By the way, I heard from Ranqiu that you and Helian Changjun have been working on some medical team recently. Why haven't you mentioned this to me?"

Even without saying it, he knew clearly that this little woman was doing it for him.

If the sole purpose is to help the world, why would one need to recruit a hundred people?

Shen Wan smiled sweetly: "I don't even know how many days it has been since I last saw you, how can I tell you?"

"It's my fault." Xie Mubai held her arms and said with a guilty look on his face, "I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to accompany you."

"We'll get married after this busy period, and I'll be with you every day."

He is indeed very busy and has to work until very late every day.

Seeing that his own son was so exhausted from traveling so much, Xie Lian couldn't bear it and suggested that he stay overnight in the camp.

I have to say that Xie Lian is really good at managing the army.

In less than a year, the entire camp has become his territory, and all the soldiers follow his lead.

If he wanted to leave someone in the camp overnight, that would not be a problem at all.

Xie Mubai disagreed.

He would rather travel back and forth between the camp and the princess's mansion every day than stay overnight there.

Even if the little woman was asleep when he came back, just one look at her would calm his heart.

"Why are you so sweet today?" Shen Wan smiled mischievously and said deliberately, "Did you do something bad and fall in love with some beautiful girl?"

Seeing her being so naughty, the haze in Xie Mubai's heart was swept away, and he completely relaxed.

He stretched out his bony hand and gently lifted her pink chin, his dark eyes flickering with an ambiguous light: "Don't you know whether my mouth is sweet or not?"

When she saw that look, Shen Wan was startled.

Is it too late to admit my mistake now?

It’s all my fault for being so rude!

Why bother teasing him for no reason!

what to do?

escape?

Before she could think of a solution, Xie Mubai's lips were already covering hers.

Unlike before, his kiss today seemed particularly passionate, as if he wanted to tear her bones and skin her apart and swallow her into his stomach. The kiss made her almost unable to breathe.

He seemed to have accumulated too much trouble and wanted to vent it all through this kiss.

Shen Wan did not refuse.

She knew that he had too much responsibility on his shoulders.

If he wanted it today, she wouldn't refuse.

While she was daydreaming, the villain's hot lips moved along her small chin and kissed her delicate collarbone, as if he was conquering her.

Shen Wanxin made up her mind.

She had just pulled off the sweat towel tied around the villain's waist when he heard her hoarse voice: "The Third Prince won."
