Chapter 151

151

When Shen Yuntang heard that Liu Ya was in trouble, he ran out of the house in a hurry and went to the Dali Temple to find Liu Ya.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Ya being released, and took her into the car.

"Are you okay? Does the third prince's disappearance have anything to do with you?" Shen Yuntang remembered that the last incident with the eldest prince was related to Liu Ya. He was afraid that Liu Ya would do something against the third prince. If it was really Liu Ya who did it, he could think of a solution in advance.

Nanfeng

The third prince is different from the eldest prince. The empress dowager hates the eldest prince but not the third prince. The third prince’s mother is still a concubine in the harem. If something happens to him, it will definitely not be as easy as what happened to the eldest prince last time.

Liu Ya waved her hands tiredly, "It's okay, it's just that someone saw the Third Prince following me. As for why he disappeared later, I don't know."

He was resting that day, and thinking about Shen Yuntang who had been suffering from morning sickness and had no appetite recently, he went to buy some plums for Shen Yuntang to whet her appetite.

In the end, he failed to buy plums, and now Shen Yuntang, a pregnant woman, had to ride a carriage to see him. He felt bad, "Cousin, it's all my fault. I made you worry. If your husband knew about this, I don't know how he would blame me."

"Silly boy, how could he blame you? He was just locked up. If he were outside, he would definitely be worried about you." Shen Yuntang touched his head. "Come back with me today and stay at my place for a while. I told you when you bought the house before that there are few people there and it is not safe for you to walk on the road at night. Even a man like the third prince would disappear inexplicably, let alone a brother like you." In Shen Yuntang's eyes, Liu Ya is still a weak, beautiful and sensitive little boy.

"Okay, I understand." Liu Ya moved out because the houses there were cheaper, and he often had to invite the prince to his home, so it was inconvenient to live in his cousin's house.

Now that his wedding date with the prince has been set, they will move to the palace next month, so there is no need for him to live there anymore.

In fact, he also had a psychological trauma over that place. When he came back from outside the city, his heart was trembling on the way home and he was unwilling to face that road. After returning home, he became very irritable, constantly talking to himself or throwing things, in this way he tried to divert his attention and prevent his brain from recalling everything about the third prince.

When they returned to Shen Yuntang's house, Lin Yu and Shao Hui also came to see him.

Lin Yu hugged Liu Ya distressedly, "You have suffered."

He thought that with Liu Ya's personality and how much she hated men, how could she take the initiative to go out of the city with the prince as rumored? The prince must have forced him and tied him up.

He knew quite a bit about Liu Ya's past. They were good friends who could talk about anything. He knew that Liu Ya left the village because she was molested by Gou Wa and could no longer stay in the village.

Later he was drugged by the eldest prince, and now he was kidnapped out of the city by the crown prince. Why was his life so miserable?

He still remembered that when he first met Liu Ya, Liu Ya was so lively, cheerful and confident, and was happy every day. He was really afraid of losing such a wonderful Liu Ya.

Shao Hui also heard about this matter, "Did that idiot prince do something to you? Don't be afraid, I will go to his house now and beat him up and seek justice for you."

"I'm fine," Liu Ya shook her head. Seeing Lin Yu crying, she took the initiative to wipe his tears. "I'm getting married next month. I want you to make me a wedding dress. Okay?"

Seeing him smiling at her, Lin Yu felt even more sad. "If you don't want to get married, let Master Cheng go and beg the Emperor. Maybe there will be a chance of success."

"I've thought it through. Actually, the Crown Prince is an okay person. He helped me tease the eldest prince last time. After I got engaged to him, there are fewer people harassing me. He is someone who can protect me, and I am willing to marry him." Liu Ya still hates all men, but he has had enough of this kind of life where he can be flirted with by men at any time. Maybe getting married can change his current situation.

The Crown Prince has a noble status, and even the prince will not dare to attack him in the future. In the future, he will be the Crown Prince's consort, and may even become the Princess in the future. What he wants is not the Crown Prince's protection, but the protection of this status and power.

Liu Ya was afraid that Lin Yu would worry, so she held his hand and said, "Do you think my newly painted nails look good today? Can I paint one for you, too?"

When Lin Yu heard him say this, she could no longer persuade him. "I won't dye it anymore, for fear that the color will fade onto the fabric and stain the customer's clothes. You're getting married next month, so I have to put aside other people's orders and do it for you first."

"Forget it. The customer's order is the most important." Liu Ya didn't want to make things difficult for him.

"You are the most important in my heart." Lin Yu held his hand and looked at his tired face. "Let's go back first. You should have a good rest. I will come over tomorrow and discuss the style of clothes with you."

"Yeah, okay." Liu Ya smiled and nodded. After returning to his cousin's house, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

Shen Yuntang also said: "I will draw the picture for you myself, and tomorrow the three of us will discuss how to make your wedding dress together."

Before Lin Yu and Shao Hui left, Liu Ya asked Shao Hui to do her a favor, "I can't see the prince before the wedding. Can you tell him for me that I want to go back to my hometown to see my parents after the wedding? I should have told them before the wedding, but the wedding date set by the emperor is too close, so I can't make it back. I can only go back after the wedding. It would be even better if he could ask the emperor for an imperial decree to invalidate the letter of commitment in the village chief's hand."

"The emperor has issued an edict to grant the marriage. Can that letter of promise be better than the emperor's?" Seeing that he insisted, Shao Hui said, "Okay, I will definitely tell him. If he doesn't ask, I will personally ask the emperor for you."

"Thank you very much." Liu Ya thanked him and went back to the house to rest.

Shao Hui and Lin Yu got on the carriage. Originally, they planned to go to Lin Yu's place for dinner. However, Shao Hui saw that it was getting late, so he said to Lin Yu, "You usually treat me to dinner. How about I treat you to dinner outside today?"

"When you come to my house for dinner on ordinary days, it doesn't count as me treating you. You have helped me so much, it is only natural that I should cook for you." Lin Yu felt that his repayment was nothing compared to Shao Hui's kindness.

"It takes you more time to cook than to treat me to a meal out. How can we compare? Give me a chance today and let me treat you to a meal." Shao Hui asked the coachman to go to Jinyulou.

Lin Yu: "Invite me to dinner, and go to Brother Chen's restaurant?"

Shao Hui smiled and asked him: "I usually go there to eat and pay for the meal. Why do you think your brother Chen's restaurant is not high-end enough? Do you want me to find another restaurant?"

"I didn't mean that." Lin Yu explained hurriedly.

"I know, you are afraid that I will spend too much money, right? It doesn't matter, I have money, you don't have to save for me." Shao Hui is famous for his generosity. He often invites his friends to dinner. If his friends value his things, no matter how valuable they are, he will let them take them directly.

But now, when he invited his friends to dinner or gave them gifts, he would always think that he had never invited Lin Yu to dinner, and he had never given Lin Yu such a good gift. He always felt that he owed Lin Yu, and he seldom invited his friends to dinner.

"Have you ever eaten Jinyulou's cake?" Shao Hui asked him.

"Of course I have. When Brother Shen was practicing baking cakes, he let us try it. It was delicious." Lin Yu usually eats it at Shen Yuntang's house and has never bought it in the store.

"I wanted to invite you to have a taste, but I didn't expect you to have it before me." Shao Hui looked a little angry, but he was not actually angry. He looked angry as if he was waiting for Lin Yu to take the initiative to coax him.

Lin Yu: "Actually, I haven't eaten it for a long time. After Brother Chen got pregnant, he hasn't made cakes. I heard that his apprentices are making it in the restaurant. I really want to eat it. If I were myself, I would definitely not be willing to buy it. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to eat cake."

Shao Hui finally felt relieved. "His apprentices can only make a few simple dishes, but the taste is acceptable and the price has been lowered. There is still a shortage of supply every day. Let's see how lucky we are today."

When they arrived at the restaurant, there were just two pieces of cake left. Shao Hui smiled and said, "It seems we are lucky."

They chose a seat on the second floor, which was just right for watching the show.

Lin Yu had never seen a boy band performance, so today he gained some insights.

Shao Hui saw that he was staring at the dancing boy group below and felt a little jealous. "Are they dancing well?"

"That's great. I didn't know before that men can dance too." Liu Ya scooped a piece of cake with a spoon, but her hand stopped in mid-air, not putting it into her mouth for a long time.

Shao Hui sighed, "It fell off."

"What fell?" Lin Yu came to his senses and the cake on the spoon fell off and landed on his other hand.

"Are handsome men so good-looking?" Shao Hui teased him while taking out a handkerchief to wipe his hands. His movements were so natural that neither of them even felt it was inappropriate. Normally, Lin Yu would not let other men touch him, and Shao Hui would not flatter other women and boys casually, but it was different for Lin Yu.

When he was wiping Lin Yu's hands, he felt a warm gaze from the side. He turned around and saw Zhao Yanlin watching them through the curtain.

Zhao Yanlin widened his eyes in disbelief, his eyes filled with anger and jealousy, which made him lose his mind. He rushed up and grabbed Shao Hui's collar.

Shao Hui grabbed his hand, twisted his arm and pressed him on the table.
