Upon seeing this, Grand Tutor Cheng, who was following closely behind, became extremely anxious.
Ziyan mustered her courage and advised, "Miss, why don't you go back to the tent and wait?"
"If all else fails, I'll take you to catch up with Young Master Zhou. You'll really get sick from standing here like this!"
Cheng Xianyi shook her head stubbornly, a frosty mist clinging to her eyelashes. She said, "He told me to stay obediently in Jiangling City and wait for him. I have to obey. I can't disobey."
"Young Master Zhou told you to wait for him, not to stand here and wait for him! Besides, he won't be back in the city for at least half a month!"
"But this is the closest place to A-Cheng."
Ziyan died: "......."
Grand Tutor Cheng was extremely anxious and pleaded with a pained expression, "Xianyi, Zhou Cheng has already left the city. Even if you wait here all night, he won't come back. Listen to your father, can you go back first?"
"No, that won't work."
"But my daughter..."
"Stop talking."
Grand Tutor Cheng shut his mouth and died.
Grand Tutor Cheng and Ziyan exchanged a worried glance, both seeing concern in each other's eyes.
This can't go on. Is this stubborn, love-struck person really going to wait here for half a month?
They told her to wait in Jiangling City, not on the city wall! Why is she so fixated on that? And this place is closest to Young Master Zhou...
Ziyan was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
If I had known this would happen, I should have reminded Young Master Zhou not to describe the scope so broadly, but to narrow it down to the camp!
"Oh no, what should we do?!"
Grand Tutor Cheng turned pale with anxiety, then pulled Ziyan aside and whispered, "How about... how about I go and talk to General Zhou? You quietly leave the city and quickly call my nephew Cheng back."
"If I'm weak and fall ill, so be it. It's better to go out of the city with my nephew than for me to be an old man who dies young! I can still catch up with him now that he's only been gone a short while."
“Okay, I’ll go.” Ziyan nodded solemnly.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"My poor, stubborn daughter, it breaks my heart..."
Cheng Taifu and Ziyan hurriedly went down the city wall to borrow horses from Zhou Zhenguang.
But the two of them didn't see it—
The figure standing on the city wall, as the two hurriedly descended the wall, had a subtle smile playing on her lips. She gazed longingly ahead, her fingertips gently tracing patterns.
A clear, gentle voice murmured from her lips...
“Ah Cheng.”
“I’m being good.”
“I am obedient.”
"It wasn't me who asked Father to go. I waited patiently for you to come back. I was obedient, and I didn't do anything you didn't want me to do. It was Father and Ziyan who made the decision on their own. You won't blame me, will you...?"
Ziyan, who was in a hurry to borrow a horse to leave the city, was worried that Cheng Xianyi would be frostbitten by the cold wind, and was also afraid that she would be too late and fail to catch up with Young Master Zhou.
She probably never imagined that all of this was planned by Cheng Xianyi.
I originally thought my master was just a love-struck fool who only had eyes for Zhou Gongzi!
But to everyone's surprise, she turned out to be a cunning and manipulative woman obsessed with love!
Just like those three years I spent in the capital.
No matter how far Zhou Cheng is from her.
Cheng Xianyi would do everything in her power to bring him back to her side, even if it was just to see him once or to say just one more word. She would do anything for him!
