Little Swallow smiled slightly and said, "What are you worried about? What are you afraid of? Don't you have any confidence in yourself?"
Yongqi didn't say anything more, but just held Xiaoyanzi tightly, refusing to let go. Xiaoyanzi comforted him, "Yongqi, take good care of yourself. Wait for me to come back. If you still don't listen to me..."
Before he could utter the threat, Yongqi interrupted, "I'll be obedient, I'll take good care of myself, and I'll wait for you to come back!"
"Alright, go and get some rest. Don't worry, I'll send a message back..."
"Little Swallow..." Yongqi, who was lying on the table, woke up with a start. "It was just a dream..."
But why does this dream feel so real? It's as if Little Swallow has really come back. "Little Swallow, I really miss you so much."
The next morning, Xiao Yanzi and her friends arrived at a new town called Tong'an Town.
Little Swallow lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the buildings and pedestrians outside, and said, "Let's find a place to put our luggage down and go for a walk."
"Understood." Xingchen found an inn as usual, settled her luggage, and then went out for a walk.
"Look, take a look, freshly baked buns..."
"The wontons are ready! They smell so good and taste delicious..."
The cries of street vendors reached Xiao Yanzi's ears one after another, and Xiao Yanzi happily said, "I want to eat wontons!"
"I want to eat steamed buns!" Qingyun had her eye on the freshly steamed buns. Xiaoyanzi turned around and glanced at Qingyun, saying, "Then let's split up. Those who want steamed buns can go eat steamed buns, and those who want wontons can go eat wontons."
Anyway, the two places weren't far apart, so they could eat while keeping an eye on each other. Xie Murui, Xingchen, and the Liu siblings, Liu Qing and Liu Hong, wanted to eat wontons, so they teamed up with Xiao Yanzi, while the rest of them went with Qingyun to eat steamed buns.
Xiao Yanzi and the others walked towards the wonton stall. "Boss, a few bowls of wontons, please."
"Alright, please wait a moment, gentlemen."
After Xiao Yanzi and the others found a place to sit down, Xiao Yanzi's stomach started growling. "The more I smell it, the hungrier I get..."
Liu Hong couldn't help but laugh out loud. She looked at the shop owner and said, "Boss, hurry up, this young lady is hungry..."
"Liu Hong!" Little Swallow's face flushed red instantly. "You're so annoying!"
How could she not know? So Liu Hong had this side to her! Liu Qing explained, "This is the real Liu Hong. She's been controlling herself all along, but now she's finally showing her true colors!"
Little Swallow said helplessly, "Oh dear, what's the point of controlling yourselves? You won't do anything illegal, so there's no need to control yourselves! From now on, you all have to be yourself and not wear masks to cover yourselves up!"
Only through mutual sincerity can their team go further!
Xie Murui chimed in, "Little Swallow is right! We should speak to people the way we are; that's how we show sincerity!"
"Gentlemen, your wontons are ready, please enjoy!" As they spoke, the wontons they wanted were already prepared.
Little Swallow couldn't wait to start eating, but she was eating too fast and burned her tongue. Liu Qing laughed and said, "Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? Why are you in such a hurry to eat? Nobody's going to take it from you!"
Liu Hong joked, "If my husband at home knew this, he'd probably be worried again!"
"Little Swallow... Little Swallow is injured..." They never expected that Yongqi, who was taking a class in the Imperial Study, would suddenly stand up and say something that left everyone completely confused.
Ji Xiaolan asked, puzzled, "Fifth Prince, why are you saying that Princess Feiyan is injured?"
"I can tell she's injured!" He was about to leave when Fu Erkang and Fu Ertai stopped him. "Fifth Prince, calm down. Don't be impulsive. If you leave now, how will you explain to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?"
“My brother is right. If you leave now, you will only cause trouble for Xiao Yanzi and you will ruin her!”
Seeing that the Fu brothers had calmed Yongqi down, Ji Xiaolan didn't say anything more. "Fifth Prince, why don't you sit down and start class first? We can talk about other things after class!"
Whether what he said about Xiao Yanzi being injured was true or false, he was too far away to help her now. If he really went to find Xiao Yanzi, she would be well by the time he arrived!
Meanwhile, Xiao Yanzi had finished eating her wontons and was about to take a walk to digest when she bumped into a big man who wouldn't let go of a girl...
"Who is this man? Why is he grabbing that young girl and won't let go?"
"I heard they were engaged, but for some reason, the girl didn't want to marry him after he became successful..."
"I've only ever heard of men who become successful and then abandon their fiancées and wives who have shared their hardships. This is the first time I've ever heard of a fiancée abandoning her fiancé!"
"This is really interesting. Does anyone know the inside story?"
"Menglan, what's wrong? Why are you so determined to cancel our engagement?"
"Zhou Guanyu, I've told you, you know perfectly well what you've done. I've already canceled this engagement. If you dare to cause any more trouble, I'll report you to the authorities!"
"Zhou Guanyu, how dare you! You still dare to harass Menglan!"
Zhou Guanyu glared angrily at the man who had suddenly appeared and snapped, "Zhou Wenxuan, what business is it of yours what I do with Menglan?"
"Menglan is mine now, so of course she's related to me!"
This argument reached Xiao Yanzi's ears. "Liu Hong, tell me, why does this girl named Menglan want to cancel this engagement?"
"It's nothing more than discovering that this man is a womanizer and has affairs with other women."
Liu Qing added, "It's also possible that this man was trying to seize her family's assets, and she discovered it, which is why she wants to cancel the engagement!"
"Mo Menglan, is it because of him that you want to cancel the engagement? I should have realized it sooner, that you and him have been together for a long time..."
Just as he was about to spew nonsense, Xiao Yanzi threw a chopstick at him, and Liu Hong threw a bowl, almost ruining Zhou Guanyu's face. "Who? Who dares to ambush this young master?"
Little Swallow remained seated, and said sarcastically, "Young master? You dare to call yourself a young master?"
"Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror to see what you actually look like..."
Xiao Yanzi and Liu Hong each said something that infuriated Zhou Guanyu. "Who are you people? How dare you be so rude to me!"
Xiao Yanzi glanced coldly at Zhou Guanyu and laughed, "What do you care who I am? I already figured it out from your conversation. You must have done something to wrong Menglan, which is why she wants to break off the engagement!"
"You're talking nonsense! When have I ever done anything to wrong her? It was clearly her..."
"How dare you speak so arrogantly? Menglan originally didn't want to say too much because of the friendship between your two families' fathers, but now it seems you're being ungrateful. Since that's the case, then there's no need to be polite!"
Xiao Yanzi raised an eyebrow at Zhou Wenxuan, "So, you have evidence?"
"Menglan sensed something was wrong and had already sent people to investigate. Now, of course, she has evidence in hand..." The truth was eventually revealed: this scumbag was having an affair with Mo Menglan's sister while simultaneously trying to marry Mo Menglan, seize her family fortune, and then kill her to take over the Mo family.
