Lu's mother seemed to be a very easy person to talk to, and she did not agree with Han Luoxue's actions. She scrambled up from the ground and said loudly, "I've lived to be this old and this is the first time I've ever seen someone kick out someone who's been drinking."
"My celestial maiden, you be the judge! How can this be done?"
"Han Luoxue was in the wrong in this matter."
Mengyao didn't even glance at the peasant woman's fawning expression as she ran over. Her gaze, piercing through the peasant woman, went to the carriage ahead, as if she could see the people inside: "Your Highness, what do you say?"
"She was wrong to do this, but no matter what, guests are guests."
The crown prince's voice was calm and his tone was even.
Magistrate Zhu was a bit dumbfounded when he heard this. Wasn't she supposed to be Han Luoxue's friend? But something felt off.
Whose side is this crown prince on? Is he here to cause trouble?
Magistrate Zhu felt a chill run down his spine. He had thought that by praising Han Luoxue, he had managed to curry favor with the Crown Prince, but now it seemed something was amiss.
To directly belittle Han Luoxue in front of the Crown Prince? Considering that Han Luoxue still possessed something he needed, Magistrate Zhu didn't want to offend anyone unless absolutely necessary.
Thinking of this, he could only laugh it off for now and see how things went: "Young people are bound to be impulsive sometimes. What did you do that made Han Luoxue kick you out?"
Magistrate Zhu was just speaking casually, but Lu's mother's expression changed drastically: "We didn't do anything, the children were just a little hungry and ate a few more steamed buns."
"Alright, let's go take a look quickly."
The prince was too lazy to argue with the villagers. As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage started moving forward again.
The Lu family members followed cautiously behind. Magistrate Zhu didn't say anything to them, so they followed on their own.
Although most of the people from Hutouya Village were at Han Mingyuan's house, a couple were waiting outside. Upon seeing the long procession of horse-drawn carriages arrive, some hurriedly ran back to report.
When Han Luoxue heard the news, she knew that Magistrate Zhu had arrived. She remembered that several magistrates had said that they would come to celebrate her wedding.
She thought it was just a joke, since she wasn't very familiar with the county magistrates, but who would have thought they would actually come?
You said there were two carriages that looked particularly different?
Han Luoxue still sensed something was amiss. The county magistrate's carriages were all of similar specifications. Could there be someone she didn't know about?
"They all look very expensive, I don't know if they're the same."
The main reason is that the villagers have not seen many horse-drawn carriages. The farthest place they go is the town, and only a few wealthy families in the town still have horse-drawn carriages.
"I'll go out and take a look."
Han Luoxue felt uneasy. If it really wasn't Magistrate Zhu, could it be someone from the capital?
At this moment, the only people Han Luoxue could think of were Zhou Yuan in the capital, or people from Han Yuchen's side. For example, her maternal grandfather or his family.
If these people come, they should be treated well. After all, Han Yuchen marrying into their family is not a good thing for them.
Han Yuchen's maternal grandfather's family is too well-off; could they be here to object?
Also, if her previous guess was correct, what is Han Yuchen's identity?
Han Luoxue felt a bit of a headache. She was just pretending not to understand; she wasn't really a naive and innocent girl.
Well then, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's see how things go first.
Han Luoxue got up to leave, but Yunniang grabbed her arm and said, "You're the bride today, and your hair is only half done. You have no right to run out. Sit down first and let your father go out and take a look."
Yunniang was unusually assertive, but Han Luoxue was uneasy at this moment: "Mother, I'll just peek, I won't show myself."
"I'm worried it might be someone from Han Yuchen's side. No, I have to go and check it out."
Seeing Han Luoxue's insistence, Yunniang could only helplessly let her have her way. However, she called out to Han Luoyu, "You keep a close eye on your sister. If you see her, pull her back as soon as you see her."
"I've never seen a bride who worries more than you. Getting married has been a real busy affair!"
Yunniang couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Han Luoyu had no choice but to agree. The two sisters held hands and walked to the door.
At this moment, the carriage had already stopped outside the gate. Magistrate Zhu, with her plump figure, alighted quickly and ran to the front of the first carriage, asking solicitously:
"Your Highness, we have arrived. This is Han Luoxue's home."
Crown Prince? Upon hearing this title, Han Luoxue's heart skipped a beat. How did this guy get here? Although she had only met the Crown Prince once, the experience was not pleasant.
Han Luoxue had a gut feeling that the Crown Prince's arrival was related to Han Yuchen and was not a good thing.
"Let's go back quickly."
Han Luoxue tightened her grip; she had to tell Han Yuchen right away.
Han Yuchen was still in their new house at this time. Their new house was next to Han Luoxue's house, where two more rooms had been added. Doctor Xu and the others usually lived there.
Han Yuchen stayed there after returning. Han Mingyuan was also there at this time. Seeing Han Luoxue rushing over, Han Mingyuan complained, "Little girl, really. Why didn't you help Yuchen remove the scar on her face sooner?"
Han Mingyuan knew Han Luoxue's abilities. She could almost heal his own leg and cure Yu'er's limp. Surely she could handle the scar on Han Yuchen's face?
But neither of them knew what was wrong. Don't young people all like handsome guys? Wouldn't it be better to remove the scar and become a handsome young man?
But Han Yuchen's scars remained.
It looks exactly the same as it did before, almost untouched.
"Father, I have something to say to Brother Chen."
Han Luoxue was extremely anxious at the moment, and she no longer cared about the scar on Han Yuchen's face.
Seeing his daughter's anxious expression, Han Mingyuan was also surprised: "What happened?"
"Brother Chen, the Crown Prince has arrived."
A single sentence brought an eerie silence to the scene. What was that? Everyone was completely bewildered.
They knew and had heard of the term "Crown Prince," but how could someone so high and mighty possibly come to their poor, remote mountain village?
Unlike the shock of the others, Han Yuchen felt a pang of panic. His only thought was whether the Crown Prince knew his identity.
Han Yuchen raised his hand and touched his cheek; the scar was still very noticeable.
With this scar, normally no one would notice him.
"Xue'er, do you still have that disguise potion you gave me last time?"
He wasn't ready yet, and she wasn't around. If the Crown Prince found out his identity, then...
Not only him, but everyone in Hutouya Village, and even the people in Wuling Town, will probably not escape death.
The Crown Prince may appear gentle, but he is actually incredibly ruthless. No one understands him better than Han Yuchen; he is a vicious man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
Hearing that Han Yuchen was going to disguise himself again, Han Luoxue understood, but she was more suspicious. What grudge did Han Yuchen have against the Crown Prince? Why was he so wary of that person?
