It was only then that Li Youran realized how comfortable a carriage could be, even though she was also traveling by car.
"If you like, you can ride in my sedan chair whenever you go out in the future."
The Second Prince's Consort spoke to Li Youran with a look of affection.
Just then, a maidservant peeked out from outside the sedan chair and into the camera's view.
"Princess Consort, Second Miss, there is a sedan chair belonging to the Wu family of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion at the fork in the road."
"Stop the carriage and go say hello."
The Second Prince's wife spoke while making a helpless expression.
"You Ran, come down with me and say hello. It seems we've run into someone from the Duke of Protectorate's mansion."
Seeing the Second Prince's wife's helpless expression, Li Youran knew that the Protector of the Nation Kung Fu was not to be offended, so he followed the Second Prince's wife down from the sedan chair.
"Greetings to the Second Prince's Consort."
Madam Wu and Wu Yong bowed to the Second Prince's wife.
"We're all family, no need for formalities."
As the Second Prince's wife spoke, she glanced at Wu Yong without leaving a trace.
Wu Yong was secretly glancing at Li Youran with a look of surprise on his face.
It is clear that Madam Wu did not tell Wu Yong about this matter, and Wu Yong did indeed have feelings for her sister.
"Where are Madam Wu and Young Master Wu headed this time?"
Madam Wu's acting skills are also excellent.
“Before Yong’er took the imperial examination, I went to a temple to make a vow. Now that the results of the examination are out, I’ve brought Yong’er here to fulfill my vow.”
"I wonder how Young Master Wu fared in the imperial examination this time?"
Seeing that Wu Yong was looking at her with a smile the whole time, Li Youran asked politely.
"I was fortunate enough to come in second in the imperial examination."
Wu Yong cupped his hands in greeting to Li Youran, showing no lack of proper etiquette.
The Second Prince's wife, who was standing nearby, took in this scene and couldn't help but feel even more favorably toward Wu Yong; he was indeed a good boy.
Since they were going the same way, they headed towards the temple one after the other.
"Mother, isn't Second Aunt's behavior clearly an attempt to establish a kinship with the Second Prince's household?"
The carriage was moving very fast, but Hu Qinqin still tried her best to sit upright and steadily inside the carriage.
"It's not up to her to call the shots in the Duke of Huguo's mansion."
The prime minister's wife had a gloomy face as the carriage swayed from side to side.
Ever since the Third Prince's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate failed, he has been neglected by the emperor.
The Prime Minister's wife wasn't stupid either. She had previously thought of marrying her daughter to the Third Prince in order to secure the Prime Minister's position and the status of the Protectorate General's Mansion.
However, now that the Third Prince is no longer a reliable source of support, the Prime Minister's wife is thinking of finding a suitable match for Hu Qinqin.
After searching for a long time, they still couldn't find a suitable candidate. No matter which family they married, it would be suspected of being an attempt to win them over. So, they decided to go along with their daughter's wishes and marry Wu Yong instead.
A few days ago, the Prime Minister's wife had openly and subtly discussed this matter with Madam Wu.
Unexpectedly, Madam Wu secretly did such a thing behind the scenes, which made the Prime Minister's wife feel very ashamed.
Upon learning of this, the Prime Minister's wife immediately took Hu Qinqin and rushed towards the temple.
"You Ran, please wait outside for a moment. I have some things to discuss with Madam Wu."
Upon hearing the Second Prince's wife's words, Li Youran nodded obediently.
Li Youran found it strange. They had clearly agreed that she would come up the mountain to cleanse her of the filth, but it seemed that her sister had discussed it with Madam Wu and wanted to talk to Master Wukong as soon as she arrived.
However, she didn't think much of it and wandered around the temple garden by herself.
"Miss Li."
When Li Youran walked under a sycamore tree, she bumped into Wu Yong.
"Young Master Wu."
Li Youran knew that Wu Yong was in the same boat as her, so she simply sat down and chatted with him to pass the time.
"In broad daylight, a man and a woman alone in a room, and she even takes the initiative to chat and laugh with the man. It's really shameless!"
Suddenly, a furious shout rang out, and Li Youran and Wu Yong both looked in the direction of the voice.
Hu Qinqin and her maid walked over.
The maidservant beside her spoke recklessly and offended her mistress, but Hu Qinqin did not reprimand her. Li Ran knew without even thinking that this must have been Hu Qinqin's order.
So she gave Xiao Hong a wink.
Having spent a lot of time with Li Youran, Xiao Hong's personality had become quite wild, and upon seeing this, she understood what Li Youran meant.
"Can't we even talk to people in broad daylight, in public?"
As Xiao Hong spoke, she glanced at Hu Qinqin indirectly and continued speaking to the arrogant maid.
