Chapter 473: The little crybaby, beautiful and delicate, the rough man dotes on his wife and flirts with her 23

Su Zhiruan has a slender figure, and the wedding dress is complicated. Wearing it layer by layer makes her look gorgeous and outstanding. She looked at the bronze mirror, and suddenly the wedding dress she tried on in the Wanchao Palace that day emerged in her mind. The same phoenix coronet and bridal robe, and even the person she was going to marry both times was the same, but his identity was different now.

The maid who had gone out to open the door also came in at this time. For a moment, she was almost dazzled by her beauty. Her skin was whiter than snow, and her figure was as white as ice and as graceful as jade. The bright red color complemented her perfectly, as if red was born for her.

Not only her, even Su Zhiruan was dazzled. To be honest, this appearance was really outstanding. Even in the Wanchao Palace where there were so many beauties, she was the most beautiful.

But although it is beautiful, it is a little too fragile, like a weak dodder, which makes people feel pity for it. In the eyes of outsiders, it is just a vase with an empty shell, beautiful but not aggressive.

Su Zhiruan lowered his eyes.

After a while, her eyes inadvertently swept across the screen, and happened to meet the gaze of Ji Xiaoyuan who was holding a celadon teacup.

They looked at each other in silence, and the sweet fragrance in the room filled their noses.

* It is getting dark.

Everything has been packed up, the lanterns in the restaurant are lit, and pedestrians are hurrying home with snacks wrapped in oil paper. The night wind is rising, and the corners of clothes are blown up.

Su Zhiruan suddenly remembered that there was a pair of red candles missing from the items she had prepared. The grocery store was right on the street, so she suddenly thought she might as well go out and buy them, and then see if there was anything else missing and add them all at once.

This is a small matter.

But in the dark, someone was already watching her every move, and when they saw her come out alone, they glanced at each other.

"Don't hurt Her Royal Highness, be careful when you do it."

"yes."

…

After Su Zhiruan bought a pair of red candles and flint, she walked out the door. When she passed a dark alley, her intuition told her that something was wrong with the atmosphere here, and subconsciously, she wanted to leave.

But the road was not wide, and there were vendors on both sides packing up their stalls and preparing to go home. For a moment, the road was a bit messy, so she quickened her pace, preparing to go home quickly.

When Su Zhiruan walked to another alley, she could already see the lights of the restaurant and two big red lanterns hanging outside the gate. These were all prepared for the wedding. She breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to walk over.

Suddenly, there was a scream behind her. It was a child.

“Ouch—”

The little boy seemed to have been tripped by something and fell straight to the ground. He couldn't even stand up. He held his ankle and didn't move. He was wearing a coarse linen shirt and holding a small package in his hand. When he saw Su Zhiruan looking at him, his eyes brightened instantly. His tone seemed a little hesitant, but he still spoke, "Sister, big sister...can you give me a hand...I, I can't stand up anymore."

Seeing the hopeful look in the child's eyes, Su Zhiruan did not hesitate and walked over to help the child up. Seeing the pain on his face, she asked with concern, "Can you still walk?"

The child shook his head and nodded again, "I can, my home is in the alley, it's the first one inside, thank you sister, I can get back by holding on to the wall."

Su Zhiruan felt a little bit reluctant, so he thought of sending the person to the entrance of the alley before leaving. There were people around him, so nothing should go wrong.

Thinking of this, she helped the little boy stand up. She moved the red candle and flint to her left hand and helped him stand up with her right hand. The child gritted his teeth, his face flushed, but he refused to show any embarrassment and just kept walking. Soon, Su Zhiruan sent him to the entrance of the alley.

"Go back early. If the pain still persists tomorrow, go to the clinic. I—"

The little boy nodded and walked while listening. However, after he had taken three or four steps, he heard the female voice behind him stop abruptly, followed by a rustling sound.

"Sister... Sister?" He forced himself to look back, but a chill swept over his back, and in an instant, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Behind him was a group of masked men in black, and the elder sister who had just kindly helped him up had fainted and was taken into a carriage.

"Sister--" He wanted to shout, but was knocked down by the man in black behind him with a knife.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In the chaos, he heard the conversation between several people.

"Send a secret letter. We have received the princess and will return to the capital immediately."

"Hurry and leave, and return before the princess wakes up."

"yes."

…

The little boy wanted to do something, but his consciousness was still unclear. Soon he fainted and fell to the ground unconscious.

The carriage disappeared rapidly from the other end of the street, getting farther and farther away, until it finally turned into a small dot and left here in the night.
