Chapter 1531 Shared Wife 5
Prime Minister Hua's expression grew increasingly grim. Having held a high position for many years, Song Jinhuan's disobedience was tantamount to a challenge to his authority.
"Considering that you have only recently returned to the Prime Minister's residence, I will not hold it against you this time."
His tone was arrogant and domineering, yet it also carried a self-righteous sense of benevolence.
The silver-masked guard had found the perfect position to see the reactions of everyone on the field.
Song Jinhuan's gaze swept over Hua Suxin, who was looking down with her head down and her brows furrowed, as if she had been heartbroken.
Hua's mother and Hua Deyou rushed over, and upon seeing this scene, they glared angrily at Song Jinhuan without saying a word.
Even though Song Jinhuan had no hope for this family, she still felt disheartened. "There's no point in saying more. Farewell."
Prime Minister Hua's anger failed to intimidate him; instead, it was completely ignored. Feeling frustrated, like punching cotton, his face flushed red. He said coldly, "Don't leave!"
He waved his hand behind him and pointed to the girl in front of him: "Take the young lady back to her room!"
Song Jinhuan turned to the guard and said, "I'm leaving it to you."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.
Soon after, the sounds of fighting came from behind.
Song Jinhuan successfully stepped out of the Prime Minister's residence, and after many twists and turns, he finally reached the market and entered the Laifu Inn.
There are many highly skilled guards in the Prime Minister's residence, but they all fall to the man in the silver mask.
Prime Minister Hua's face grew increasingly grim. He could only watch helplessly as Song Jinhuan left, finally gritting his teeth and saying, "Stop it, all of you!"
"Young man, she is your master's fiancée. I did all this to fulfill the engagement, and you just let her go like that!"
The masked man flicked his phoenix tail and said with a half-smile, "Since you are Jiang's fiancée, there is no reason for you to be wronged."
"Prime Minister Hua should think of a way to invite him back. The master will pay a visit soon."
Prime Minister Hua's face turned pale. "Why so suddenly?"
He was a veteran official in the imperial court, while Jiang Yuanqing was a江湖人士 (jianghu person, a person from the martial arts world).
Now is a crucial time for the princes to seize the throne. If he has any dealings with people from the martial arts world, it may arouse suspicion.
But then, the Jiang family came to visit.
However, the Jiang family's influence was widespread, and he could not easily break off the engagement.
The guards had already flown away and soon appeared inside a spice shop.
The innkeeper bowed his head and reported, "Miss Hua is at Laifu Inn."
The guard nodded slightly and instructed in a deep voice, "Call her Miss Li."
Spice Shopkeeper: "Yes."
At Laifu Inn, Song Jinhuan put her bundle on the shelf, kicked off her embroidered shoes, and went to sleep.
After days of arduous travel, the Prime Minister's residence didn't even give her time to rest, yet they still expected her to be obedient. It's truly laughable.
I slept until dark.
Song Jinhuan stretched and planned to go downstairs to order some food, but she didn't expect that a masked guard was standing outside.
"What are you doing here?" The girl's clear black and white eyes were filled with surprise and shock.
"Of course, it's to protect Miss Li," the guard said solemnly.
Song Jinhuan glanced outside and, finding no one around, pulled the guard back into the house, casually asking, "What's your name?"
The guard's eyes flickered slightly. "Yuan Xiu."
Song Jinhuan nodded. "My name is Li Bao'er. All these years, I have been raised by the Li family. If your master insists on fulfilling the marriage contract, then he should find Hua Suxin, who has enjoyed more than ten years of life in the Prime Minister's mansion."
"The Prime Minister's residence is trying to fool your master with me. Can the Jiang family tolerate this?"
Yuan Xiu's face was mostly covered by a mask, revealing no trace of his emotions. His voice was indifferent: "Is Miss Li trying to sow discord?"
