"What did the prince and princess do?"
Gu Huaizhi looked at the maid in front of him. His face no longer had the nonchalant look he usually had in front of Jun Moyi and Sang Liwan. Instead, he had a cold look on his face.
Ye Lan said respectfully, "The prince and princess are out, and I don't know where they went."
Hearing this, Gu Huaizhi gritted his teeth secretly.
He knew that Jun Moyi had been guarding against him like a thief, but he still didn't expect that this person was so capable. He was just careless for a moment, and let the person slip away right under his nose.
"It's really good."
Hearing the man's cruel words, Ye Lan did not look up, but honestly fulfilled her duties as a servant.
She originally thought that the Prince of Qi was just a playboy who couldn't sit still, but now it seems that this man is probably a master who is not inferior to Prince An. She just doesn't know why he went to so much trouble to live in Prince An's mansion.
Just when Gu Huaizhi decided to go out and find the two people, as soon as he reached the door, he heard the sound of conversation coming from outside.
He raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and without asking anyone, he walked out. He saw a dignified woman and a pretty girl standing at the door.
It was Xu and Sang Yuyan who came to pay a visit to Prince An.
Although General Sang himself could not go out, Xu and Sang Yuyan were not under house arrest. It was reasonable for them to come and thank Jun Moyi for saving their lives.
What's more, Jun Moyi still helped without holding any grudges.
Xu's purpose of bringing Sang Yuyan with him was not only to express his gratitude, but also to apologize.
But they didn't expect that they arrived at such an inopportune time because Jun Moyi had already gone out with Sang Liwan.
There was a look of disappointment on Xu's face, but there was nothing she could do. She could only express her gratitude and leave with Sang Yuyan.
But before the two men could move, the gate of the palace was opened again from the inside, and a young man in a white brocade robe walked out.
"This is?"
When Butler Song saw Gu Huaizhi coming out, he hurriedly said respectfully, "Sir, it's the General's wife and the second young lady who are here to see the prince."
"Oh." Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows, his eyes sweeping over Xu and Sang Yuyan. "That's really unfortunate. These two sneaked out of the house."
Steward Song then said to Xu and Sang Yuyan, "This is the prince of Qi."
"It turns out to be the prince."
Gu Huaizhi put away his folding fan and nodded, "Greetings, General's wife."
It was a long time after the words fell, and Xu Shi did not hear Sang Yuyan's voice. She could not help but frowned, and turned her head to see Sang Yuyan staring at Gu Huaizhi with her eyes, obviously stunned.
Xu was startled and quickly reached out to tug at Sang Yuyan's sleeve, warning in a low voice: "Yan'er."
Hearing Xu's voice, Sang Yuyan finally came back to her senses. Her ears were burning, and her cheeks were stained with a crimson blush. She bowed softly to Gu Huaizhi, "Greetings, Prince."
Thinking of the man's handsome appearance, her face couldn't help but become even redder.
Sang Yuyan's heart was pounding. She hadn't expected that the Prince of Qi would be so handsome.
Gu Huaizhi's gaze lingered on her for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was sneering.
But there was no sign of it on his face, he still looked gentle and polite.
"Second Miss is polite."
After all, Xu was an experienced person, so it was clear to her what she saw. She had never expected that her youngest daughter would fall in love with the prince of Qi.
Xu's heart was suddenly in turmoil. She didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly took Sang Yuyan to say goodbye and leave.
Sang Yuyan was reluctant to leave, but she still had some reserve of a lady from a noble family. Before getting on the carriage, she couldn't help but look back, and saw Gu Huaizhi standing at the door of the palace, fanning himself and laughing.
She was startled and didn't dare to look anymore. She quickly bent down and got into the carriage.
Even after the carriage had gone a long way, the heat on Sang Liwan's face had not subsided.
Mrs. Xu looked at her with amorous feelings and frowned fiercely, "Yan'er?"
Sang Yuyan didn't move, as if she didn't hear it at all.
She had no choice but to call out again.
This time, Sang Yuyan did hear it, but she was frightened. She looked up at Xu with a confused look on her face, "Mom?"
Seeing this, Xu couldn't help but sigh. She asked knowingly, "What's wrong with you? You seem absent-minded. You don't even say a word when your mother talks to you."
At this moment, Sang Yuyan's mind had already been captured by Gu Huaizhi, so she could not hear what Xu was saying to her.
"What? Mom, what did you say?"
Xu just made a slight test, and Sang Yuyan exposed her thoughts completely.
"What are you thinking about? You're distracted?"
Sang Yuyan twirled the handkerchief in her hands, feeling her cheeks burning again. "Mother, what do you think of the Duke of Qi?"
This statement was almost explicit. Xu frowned, "Yan'er, tell me the truth, are you interested in the prince of the Duke of Qi?"
Sang Yuyan's face began to flush again, but thinking of Gu Huaizhi's gentle and polite appearance just now, she suppressed the shyness in her heart and nodded gently.
However, after seeing her nod, Xu's originally furrowed brows not only did not relax, but became even tighter.
"Yan'er, do you know that the Duke of Qi is only in Beijing to celebrate the Queen's birthday this time? He will be returning to Shangyu soon."
Sang Yuyan didn't know this. "Going back to Shangyu?"
The expression on her face changed slightly, "Doesn't that mean I won't be able to stay in the capital for long?"
"That's right."
Sang Yuyan muttered to herself, "I wonder if he's engaged..."
Hearing her words, Xu was so angry that she fell backwards.
Her original intention in saying that was to make Sang Yuyan give up the idea as soon as possible, but she didn't expect that she would directly think of getting engaged.
"Yan'er, Shangyu is not like the capital. Do you really want to leave your hometown and marry there?"
Hearing this, Sang Yuyan hesitated for a moment, but only for a moment.
She stretched out her hands and pulled Xu, "But mother, this is the first time my daughter has been attracted to a man."
Seeing the pleading look on Sang Yuyan's face, Xu closed her eyes and said, "No." After saying this, she seemed to feel that her tone was a bit stiff, and her face softened. "Yan'er, why don't you ask your father to find you a husband of equal status in the capital and let him stay with us and accompany us?"
Hearing her words, Sang Yuyan's expression immediately changed. She shook off Xu's hand and accused her, "Mother, just to keep me by your side and fulfill my filial duty, you don't even care about your daughter's feelings? You are too selfish!"
Xu almost couldn't breathe.
