As Mu Qingzhou rode his horse past the entrance of the Marquis's residence, he pulled on the reins to stop the horse.
For some reason, looking at the gate of the Marquis's mansion reminded me of the days the two of them spent together.
Then, thinking about how the cunning little girl wasn't waiting for him at the city gate when he entered the city today, a pang of sadness welled up in his heart.
Actually, he had a lover and shouldn't be thinking about his childhood sweetheart. However, Guan Nianxiang's personality was completely different from Wan Ge's. She never took the initiative. Even when he went to war, she never saw him off. When he returned, she would not greet him at the city gate but wait for him to come to her.
Even though he was the one who let go, the thought that the girl who had followed him so kindly and was always there for him would never do that again made Mu Qingzhou feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he had lost something very important.
Mu Qingzhou shook off the thoughts in his head, returned to his residence, washed away the dust of his journey, and headed straight for the Sun and Moon Pavilion where Guan Nianxiang was.
…
However, when Mu Qingzhou arrived at the Sun and Moon Pavilion, it was already closed.
Mu Qingzhou frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy, and went directly to Guan Nianxiang's residence.
When he opened the door, he saw the woman arranging ingredients. Mu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her; he was startled because he thought Guan Nianxiang had also abandoned him.
Guan Nianxiang looked towards the door when she heard the noise, and the moment she saw Mu Qingzhou, her eyes instantly reddened, and she seemed to have endless grievances in her eyes: "A-Zhou, you're back."
Guan Nianxiang burst into tears, one by one, and threw herself into the other person's arms.
Mu Qingzhou was slightly taken aback, as it was rare to see Guan Nianxiang being so proactive.
"Ah Zhou, you have no idea what happened to me after you left. Thank goodness you came back. Waaaaah~"
When Mu Qingzhou raised his hand to touch her hair, he paused for a moment. For some reason, he remembered that Wan Ge always did this when she was wronged.
Mu Qingzhou tried hard to clear his mind of all thoughts and gently comforted the aggrieved girl in his arms: "Xiangxiang, what happened? Tell me in detail, why is your inn closed?"
Guan Nianxiang bit her lip and remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Yes...yes...yes...oh dear, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
After saying "yes" several times, Guan Nianxiang felt that it might not be a good thing to say it again.
"Tell me quickly, how can I avenge you if you don't tell me?"
Guan Nianxiang lowered her head and said softly, "I know that the young princess just likes you too much and didn't mean to make things difficult for me."
After saying that, Guan Nianxiang sighed again: "But I don't understand, the young princess is already married... why is she still..."
It was clearly Ye Zhao who did the things at Riyue Tower, and Wan Ge had no idea about them. But Guan Nianxiang didn't care who did it. As long as it was related to Wan Ge, then it could all be attributed to her.
“Xiangxiang…Wange is the Empress now…but it’s alright, I’ll make her apologize to you.” Mu Qingzhou said softly again.
"No, no, no, Ah Zhou, I don't need the little princess's apology. And don't get into trouble because of me. After all, she is the empress now, and we can't fight her."
Hearing her lover say this, Mu Qingzhou felt even more indignant: "No! She has to apologize to you. You're coming with me to the welcome banquet tonight."
