Since leaving the capital, Wei Wuyan has been traveling at a leisurely pace.

Having witnessed the steepness and danger of the mountains and the vastness of the sea, why would one care about the small piece of land beneath one's feet?

It's only because his vision is too narrow that he'd be willing to die for a woman.

The current Wei Wuyan is not comparable to the one he was before.

Looking at the landscape beneath his feet, Wei Wuyan let out a soft sigh, feeling sorry for his past self.

Despite having such a good position, they don't know how to use it and waste their precious time on irrelevant people.

Father should also see such a sight!

After expressing his feelings, Wei Wuyan continued on his way to the next town—Yancheng.

I heard that the town was named by the new prefect who took office later.

It sounds quite nice; Wei Wuyan rarely thought of that.

Upon arriving in town, Wei Wuyan first went to the post station to send a letter of reassurance to his father before exploring the town.

This has become a habit he has gradually developed over the years.

Wei Wuyan strolled slowly down the street, watching the pedestrians and street vendors, savoring the lively atmosphere.

These were things he had never experienced as the Fifth Prince before; now, he was simply Wei Wuyan.

Looking at the steaming white steamed buns in the steamer, Wei Wuyan suddenly felt a surge of appetite for some reason.

I walked up to the stall.

Over the years, he has long since changed from the fifth prince who only ate delicacies.

Sometimes, when traveling through the mountains and running out of food, he would eat wild fruits by the roadside, as long as they could fill his stomach.

As for the people his father sent to protect him, he usually didn't allow them to show themselves.

He wanted to experience life on his own, not continue living the life of a rich young master.

Therefore, they will only step in to resolve issues if there is danger or if someone is being unreasonable and causing trouble.

"Young master, would you like two steamed buns?" the stall owner asked directly when he saw the young master standing in front of his stall.

“One is enough,” Wei Wuyan replied.

He can't eat two of them.

Having witnessed those who were destitute and starving, he could no longer indulge in his former extravagance.

"Alright." The stall owner didn't seem dissatisfied at all, and directly used a handkerchief to grab a steaming hot bun and put it into the paper bag.

"Young master, please be careful, it's hot."

Wei Wuyan accepted it without caring about his image. Over the years, he had long since let go of his princely status and lived like an ordinary person.

Wei Wuyan picked it up and took a bite.

Hmm, it tastes good.

but……

"Oh, young master, you must be starving."

Wei Wuyan had seen too many scoundrels like this, so he ignored them, paid the money, and walked straight ahead.

But the woman stopped him in a cocky manner, "Young master, don't go! Why don't you come with me? I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury, and you won't have to eat this lousy steamed bun anymore."

The man seemed alright, but his unusual demeanor piqued her interest.

Besides, someone who can afford to eat steamed buns at a roadside stall can't possibly be some rich young master. You can easily win him over without giving him a little something in return.

The woman put on a self-assured, dashing smile, confident that this young man would submit to her.

Wei Wuyan sneered. Over the years, many people had tried to bully him because he was a lone man, but he would never allow himself to be bullied so easily.

The woman took his smile as a happy laugh, after all, there were plenty of young men willing to spend a night with her.

Just as the woman stretched out her devilish hand towards Wei Wuyan, Wei Wuyan was still thinking, "I guess I should just get rid of this hand."

but……

"Stop!" a sharp voice rang out.

The woman frowned, turned around, and said, "Who dares to ruin my good time?"

But upon seeing the person who arrived, he immediately bowed low. "Lord Wang, what brings you here?"

He cursed himself for his bad luck, wondering why he had to run into her.

Wei Wuyan stared blankly at the newcomer, unable to recover for a long time.

Yes, it's her!

Having not seen her for so long, he thought he had long forgotten her, but unexpectedly, he met her in Yancheng this time.

Memories also welled up like a spring.

This person is none other than Wang Fenglun, who was sent to the countryside.

Wang Fenglun looked at him in surprise; she had really met him.

After the Fifth Prince left the capital, she remained silent for a long time.

In the end, she decided to leave the capital, the place that had caused her so much pain.

She applied for a transfer and eventually came to Yancheng. Of course, this city wasn't originally called Yancheng; it was called Yuancheng.

Undeniably, she had this in mind when she left.

Perhaps, one day, she will wait for her fifth prince in this city.

Perhaps they will meet in this town.

So, will she still have a chance then?

Five years have passed, and she has basically given up hope.

But unexpectedly, she met him at that moment.

At first, she didn't recognize him. It was only when she saw Gan Ling flirting with the young master again that she couldn't help but take action.

But that person was actually him!

The thought that this woman had dared to flirt with him just now filled Wang Fenglun with rage.

“Gan Ling, I advise you to tone it down. Your mother can’t always smooth things over for you. It’s just that you haven’t caused any major trouble yet. You should take care of yourself.”

"But remember, don't let anyone die. If anyone comes to me with a complaint, then we'll settle all the old and new scores together."

Gan Ling's face was terribly pale, but she dared not say anything.

This Lord Wang has been decisive and efficient since taking office, and his methods are remarkable.
