Mr. Sun is now over twenty years old, which is the right age for marriage. When Mother Yan mentioned it today, he just wanted to go and take a look, but he didn't expect to be so happy when he saw the girl from Taowu for the first time. Naturally, he is very satisfied with this marriage.
He just returned home happily, but found that the gate was kicked open. He hurried in and saw several people sitting in the main room.
The leader was a handsome young man who looked gentle as jade, but had a majestic aura in his bones.
"Are you Mr. Sun?"
The man looked at him casually, his eyes full of indifference and disdain.
"That's right," Sun Xiucai responded politely, then asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"
"You're not even worthy of knowing my name." The man's face darkened. "How dare you covet my cousin? I'll give you half a day to disappear from Jikang County, or this day next year will be your death anniversary."
"Your cousin?" Sun Xiucai pondered and said, "Could it be that you are Miss Ye's cousin?"
"You're not stupid."
The tall, thin man next to the young man, standing on a stool, pouted and said, "This is none other than the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion in Lin'an City. Do you know what you are doing today?"
When Sun Xiucai learned that it was Gu Tingzhou from the Rongguo Mansion, his face became even more respectful: "Miss Ye and I are..."
Just as he said this, Gu Tingzhou pressed down hard with his palm, and the already worn table collapsed.
"I don't want to say it again." Gu Tingzhou's eyes were full of sinisterness, which scared Sun Xiucai so much that he felt a little scared.
The young man next to him punched the door hard, and the whole door broke into several pieces.
"If you don't want to die, leave Jikang County." The young man took out a bag of silver and threw it to Sun Xiucai: "Take this silver and get out of here."
"I..." Sun Xiucai was unwilling to give in and wanted to argue, but the knife in the other man's hand suddenly appeared, and the cold light flashed and fell directly on his neck. A few strands of hair fell off, and he felt a chill on his neck.
"Are you willing to give up your life for a woman you shouldn't have any hope for?"
Sun Xiucai glanced at the people in front of him in fear. He knew a few of them. They were all descendants of Yuzhou City’s military generals. Even if he had a point, he had nowhere to argue and could only retreat in disappointment.
Watching the scholar flee in dismay, Gu Tingzhou shook his head in disdain: "A loser like this still wants to be my daughter Wanwan's husband. He's like a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
"Brother Gu, I heard that Prince Yongning is also looking for a girl named Ye. Could it be your sister?"
The young man next to him looked at him with a worried look on his face: "In my opinion, since Brother Gu cares so much about Miss Ye, it would be better to arrange the marriage in Yuzhou City to avoid any more trouble."
Gu Tingzhou hesitated for a long time before he said, "There's no rush."
From Lin'an to Jikang County, he thought all the way but still couldn't figure out how to face his cousin again.
Fortunately, there is still a chance to make amends.
Standing up with a cold face, Gu Tingzhou silently led his people out of the simple house quickly.
......
Ye Wanshu and Mother Yan waited in Taowu for a whole day, but never saw Sun Xiucai.
"That shouldn't be the case." Mother Yan frowned and said, "Sun Xiucai wouldn't be such a person who doesn't keep his word. He must have encountered something that delayed him."
Ye Wanshu thought for a moment and then instructed Tian Fu, "Uncle Tian, go and take a look. Make sure nothing really happened."
Tian Fu took his men and went straight to Sun Xiucai's house. Ye Wanshu and Yan Mama stayed in Taowu and waited until late at night before Tian Fu came back.
"Miss, it seems that Mr. Sun has left Yuhua Town."
Tian Fu said anxiously, "I heard from people in the town that a group of people came to Sun Xiucai's house yesterday and smashed it. After that, Sun Xiucai disappeared."
"This..." Mother Yan's heart trembled. "Who is so bold? We didn't provoke anyone."
Without having to think too much, Ye Wanshu had already guessed what was going on.
"In the entire Yuezhou, there is no one else who can be so unscrupulous except King Yongning."
Ye Wanshu gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and cursed softly, "Fu Mingchi, you bastard, it's not enough that you schemed against me, you even want to ruin my plans."
If you can, don't let me see you again.
Fu Mingchi came out of the Yuzhou camp and galloped all the way. As soon as he stopped his horse in front of the Pacification Commissioner's Mansion, he couldn't help sneezing.
"Your Highness, have you caught a cold? Why don't you go back and rest for a night and come to see Governor Xue tomorrow?" Yu Bai asked with concern.
Fu Mingchi shook his head: "The little princess is still at Miss Ye's house. As the eldest brother, I can't trouble her to take care of her alone. I finished my official duties early and went over to accompany her."
“…”
Yu Bai was stunned. He had never seen His Highness care so much about the little princess before. Now he actually cared about the little princess.
Your Highness, are you accompanying the princess or Miss Ye?
After a long time without a response, Fu Mingchi glanced over with a cold look in his eyes: "Why, is there something wrong with my concerns?"
Yu Bai quickly shook his head: "Your Highness is very considerate. However, if the Concubine knew that the Princess had been fostered in someone else's home, she would probably complain."
"We have to make decisions in an emergency. We can't let a child run around on horses all day."
Fu Mingchi evaded the question and began to give instructions: "Taowu is a bit far from the county seat after all. Tomorrow, tell Ji Kangxian to send more food, clothing and daily necessities there every day."
"yes."
Yu Bai had just responded when he suddenly saw the pacification envoy Xue Jiu leading a group of subordinates hurried out to greet him.
"I am honored to meet His Royal Highness Prince Yongning." Xue Jiu bent his body, raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Fu Mingchi secretly.
Fu Mingchi's dark eyes swept lightly over the crowd and suddenly fell on the staff beside him.
