Qingfeng paused for a moment, "But Princess Mingzhu said that unless you kill Princess Le'an, she will never return to the capital with you."
"Is that so?" Xiao Baocong's smile widened. "If possible, I would like to hope that the Princess of Le'an lives to be a hundred years old."
Qingfeng was somewhat confused.
He hadn't heard the young master agree to Princess Mingzhu's request at the old village chief's house, but his trip to the Su family was just to scout out the location before making his move.
Just as they were wondering, they heard the boy's slightly cool voice, "Later, find an opportunity to ask Meng Yun'er about what happened with the rescue in the Tangshan River."
"Yes." Qingfeng quickly composed himself.
Meanwhile, at the home of the former village chief, Su Chengde.
Jun Qingcheng leaned against the headboard, her pale face regaining a little color. The chicken soup bowl on the table was empty, with only a few chicken bones remaining.
Cai Die happily tidied up, "Princess, this old hen soup is really nourishing. I'll have Meng Yun'er stew a few more for you tomorrow."
After drinking it for several days, the princess fully recovered.
Jun Qingcheng's expression remained unchanged. "She just said she wanted to return to the capital with us?"
“Yes, during the time the princess was unconscious, she had already mentioned it to me several times, indirectly.” Cai Die frowned.

For Yu the Great, the reputation of his daughters was of utmost importance.
It's hardly a glorious thing for a princess of a prince's mansion to be tricked by treacherous people from a shady inn and fall into the river for two days and two nights.
Once it spreads in the capital, who knows how it will end up? Her princess's reputation will be damaged!
However, since she was her savior, it would be unreasonable to refuse her outright. So, she had been making excuses to avoid seeing her for the past two weeks.
Jun Qingcheng sneered, "What savior? He only dragged me ashore because he wanted to sell my clothes and steal my jade pendant. What savior did he owe me?"
"What?!" Butterfly exclaimed in surprise. "Selling clothes? Stealing the pendant?"
The girl's eyes darkened slightly. "If she had stayed quietly in this village, I wouldn't have wanted to do anything to her. But since she insists on coming to the capital with us, I have no choice but to find a way to shut her up."
