◇ Chapter 34: Revenge

An Qin naturally refused, but he could not stand the threats from the eloquent court official. He thought that it was not a good thing to offend the princess, and it was better to have less trouble than more. After all, they had kissed each other before.

Thinking of this, An Qin pinched Shen Yanheng's wrist and kissed the chattering mouth quickly like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Chen Yanheng curved his lips and chuckled softly, and gently turned his pinched hand over, inadvertently lifting the curtain beside An Qin's ear.

An Qin had already deeply engraved the image of Shen Yanheng as a despicable person in his mind. When he noticed his actions, he thought that this shameless bastard was not willing to stop at just a taste of the situation and was about to do something excessive. He suddenly increased the strength of the hand that was pinching Shen Yanheng's wrist and restrained him with his backhand.

The strong wind brought by the attack blew open a larger gap in the carriage curtain. An Qin, who was feeling embarrassed and angry, was completely unaware of it. Qi Xu and Su Wanwan both showed expressions of horror through the gap.

In broad daylight, there was a real rage in the carriage!

There is an unmarried princess sitting here!

Qi Xu screamed silently and stood in front of Su Wanwan in one step. "Third, Third Princess, you must be thirsty after all this hard work."

Qi Xu wanted to divert Su Wanwan's attention, praying that this cute and innocent little princess would not see anything she shouldn't see, otherwise his ten heads would not be enough for His Majesty to chop off.

Su Wanwan's mouth opened into a circle, her mouth wide open with surprise, big enough to fit an egg in it. "Master..."

Qi Xu: "This...Princess."

Su Wanwan: "Master, you must have been jealous just now!"

Qi Xu: "Ah?"

Su Wanwan snorted. Although she felt a little sorry that such a handsome guard could not be brought back to the princess's mansion, it was really surprising to think that the tutor who usually acted so handsome in front of her was actually a homosexual and even jealous.

The people of Daliang are open-minded. Su Wanwan is spoiled and playful by nature. She has reached the age of falling in love for the first time, so it is not surprising that she knows what "断袖" (a term for "broken sleeves sharing a peach") is. After all, she is the one who dares to break into the Taifu Mansion at night.

But she didn't expect that Duanxiu was by her side. Not only did Chen Yanheng like men, but looking at his appearance just now, he had to be humble and submissive in front of this man named An Qin.

Then her homework is...

She sat on the tree roots, supporting her head with her hands. Her bright almond-shaped eyes rolled around, and the corners of her mouth suddenly turned up. She stood up abruptly, brushed off her skirt, and walked towards the carriage.

Qi Xu was shocked. He actually saw some of the treacherous expression that was often seen on the face of the Grand Tutor on the innocent and cute little princess's face. He thought to himself that this was not good.

This ancestor is probably going to do something bad!

He and the Grand Tutor were both the Third Princess's teachers, so why did the Third Princess always choose bad things to learn from?

In the carriage.

The knife wound on Shen Yanheng's back restricted his movements. He was held backhanded and couldn't exert any strength, otherwise the wound would have burst open.

Hearing the footsteps approaching outside, An Qin recognized who it was, pushed Chen Yanheng, and quickly sat down as if nothing had happened.

"Master, I'm coming in." Su Wanwan coughed outside the curtain. Seeing that there was no movement from inside, she lifted the curtain and went in.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Qi Xu could only pray secretly that nothing would happen. He also called the driver who was resting and started on his way again.

In the carriage, Su Wanwan sat down next to Chen Yanheng.

An Qin lowered his head in silence, and found that the third princess had not been staring at him since she got on the carriage again, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But a doubt also arose in his heart, and he secretly glanced at the calm and composed Shen Yanheng: How on earth did he do it? It was obvious that he had never left for a moment.

"The Grand Tutor hasn't introduced me yet. I often come to the Grand Tutor's residence, but why haven't I seen An Qin before?"

When An Qin heard Su Wanwan mentioning him, his body stiffened slightly and he subconsciously held his breath.

Just as Chen Yanheng was about to speak, Su Wanwan winked at him and smiled shyly, "Never mind. For your meritorious service in protecting the master, I will definitely report this to my father and reward An Qin generously. Let's not talk about this for now. Master, please tell me about your experiences these past few days. I heard that you were missing, and I've been worried for a long time."

Su Wanwan familiarly pulled Chen Yanheng's sleeve and squeezed it, looking like she was holding Chen Yanheng's arm intimately.

An Qin inadvertently caught a glimpse of the elegant white sleeves wrapped around the princess's hands, and heard those intimate words in his ears. Suddenly, he felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, and an inexplicable depression arose.

The princess and the tutor, a man of talent and a woman of beauty, were indeed a perfect match.

His thoughts gradually drifted away, and his thin lips gradually pursed into a straight line. An Qin suddenly felt that he was a little redundant here, and was at a loss for a moment.

Chen Yanheng tugged at his sleeves but didn't pull them away. Then he looked at An Qin, who was trying to stick to the corner of the carriage to reduce his presence, and he immediately understood Su Wanwan's thoughts.

"You're so nervous, I'm sure you've lost your appetite." Chen Yanheng stretched out his tone, and under Su Wanwan's expectant gaze, he said cruelly, "It seems that the schoolwork is not enough for the princess to have time to think about other things."

Su Wanwan's pupils trembled.

Chen Yanheng took An Qin's hand and placed it on his knee, smiling calmly: "Princess, if you tease him again, I will be treated coldly when I return home. Don't blame me for 'taking revenge' on my own behalf."

Chen Yanheng was probably the first person who could speak so confidently of seeking revenge for personal gain.

Even An Qin couldn't believe it. The unknown anger in his heart was dispelled by the threatening words of this rogue. All that was left was the embarrassment of having his hand held. He couldn't pull his hand back, so he could only glare at the other person secretly and purse his lips tighter.

The old ones are always the wisest. Su Wanwan was no match for Chen Yanheng. Not only did she fail to achieve her goal of reducing her schoolwork, but she was outmaneuvered instead. She quickly threw away her sleeves, sat up straight, and had a gloomy face all the way, not daring to say a word.
