Chapter 229 Running Away from Home



Chu Xuan eventually found out that the two kids had teamed up to embarrass Nan'an. He felt that the two kids were really going too far, so he personally lectured them.

Chu Xuan went to Yunya Garden and said to the two children, "Did you embarrass Nan'an again? Don't you think you went too far? How did he provoke you?"

The two children, Chu Yao and Chu Yuan, had grim faces. They were worried because their mother was missing, but as they were young, they could only count on their father to find their mother. But who would have thought that their mother was not found, but a woman who looked extremely similar to their mother came to the mansion.

They were not stupid. Why did this woman come to the mansion? It was obvious that she was here to replace their mother! The two children were already dissatisfied with Chu Xuan for letting a woman into the mansion. Now Chu Xuan came to teach them a lesson in person for this woman. They were so disappointed.

Chu Yao stared at Chu Xuan closely, not at all timid, and said bluntly: "Her face provoked me, I was making things difficult for her, it has nothing to do with Yuan Yuan, if you are unhappy, you can punish me!"

"You!" Chu Xuan was so angry that he wanted to say something, but in the end he stopped talking, stood up and left angrily.

Looking at Chu Xuan's departing back, Yuan Yuan cried aggrievedly: "Brother, what should we do? Will he not help us find mom now that he has someone else? What about mom? Yuan Yuan wants mom!"

Chu Yao's eyes were also red, but he was already a little man. His mother was missing and his father had a new love, so he could never shed tears in front of his sister.

"It's okay, Yuanyuan, don't cry." Chu Yao raised his hand to wipe away Yuanyuan's tears and said firmly: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't help us find her, we can go find her ourselves! We will definitely find our mother."

At night, the two children each packed a small package and secretly left the Night King's Palace.

The next morning, Chu Xuan felt a little uneasy. Thinking of the appearance of the two children yesterday, he was still worried, so he went to Yun Yayuan.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived, Yun Yayuan was already empty, without a single person in sight. On the table in the main hall, Chu Yao left a piece of paper, on which was written: We are going to look for our mother, no need to come looking for us.

Chu Xuan's eyes suddenly went dark. He was angry and worried. He quickly asked people to go to the city to look for the two children. On one side was the missing Lu Yanluo, and on the other side were the two children who ran away from home. Chu Xuan was completely overwhelmed.

Fenghua Town.

Lu Yanluo was sitting in the house waiting for Liu's father. Just now, a servant of the Liu family came to tell her that Liu's father wanted to see her to talk about leaving Fenghua Town and going to the capital.

Lu Yanluo did not suspect anything and went straight to the study to look for Father Liu. However, after waiting for a whole cup of tea, there was no sign of Father Liu.

Just when she wanted to find someone to ask, the door of the study was opened again. Lu Yanluo looked over and saw that it was Liu Yu.

"Mr. Liu?"

"Miss Lu?"

The two spoke in unison, expressing their surprise.

Liu Yu was the first to ask, "Why is Miss Lu here?"

Lu Yanluo replied: "Master Liu said he wanted to see me, so I waited here, but I never saw Master Liu."

As the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of a lock being locked outside the door. Lu Yanluo thought to herself that something was wrong and hurried over to push the door, but it wouldn't open no matter what she did. The door was locked.

Seeing this, Liu Yu also walked to the door and pushed it, saying to the outside, "Who locked the door? There is someone in the room, open the door quickly."

Lu Yanluo knew everything in her mind, and she knew that this must have been something Liu's father did to bring her and Liu Yu together.

Then he told Liu Yu what Liu's father had said to him before. Liu Yu's face darkened after hearing it, and she apologized to Lu Yanluo very embarrassedly: "My father must have misunderstood. I hope Miss Lu can forgive me. When I get out, I will explain the situation to my father and send you back to the capital immediately."

In the past few days since Lu Yanluo was brought back to the Liu Mansion, Liu Yu has been pestering her to learn acupoint pressing techniques. She secretly wants to learn this skill before sending Lu Yanluo back to Beijing, but now it seems that she can no longer wait and has to send her away immediately.

Lu Yanluo waved her hand indifferently, but still felt helpless: "I'm afraid this door won't be open for a while."

Liu Yu smiled apologetically again, and walked aside consciously, keeping a distance from Lu Yanluo.

Two hours later, the door was finally opened from the outside. Father Liu poked his head in and saw Lu Yanluo and Liu Yu, one reading a book at the desk and the other sitting at the table drinking tea. Both of them had indifferent expressions on their faces, and did not look like they were in love for the first time at all.

Liu Yu looked up and put down the book in his hand with a snap, with a helpless look on his face: "Dad, what are you doing?"

"As a father, I am not..." Father Liu felt guilty and walked in with an embarrassed look on his face.

Liu Yu stood up and walked outside, and ordered, "Prepare the carriage immediately to send Miss Lu back to the capital."

Lu Yanluo got on the carriage back to Beijing.

On the other side, Shen He personally led people back to the Ye Palace, with an excited look on his face: "Your Highness, it is confirmed that the woman from the Liu family in Fenghua Town is the princess! I caught the old man and tortured him severely. The old man finally couldn't stand it and admitted it. Someone arranged everything in advance and gave him a sum of money, asking him to take the princess away and never return to Beijing."

"The princess stayed in Lijia Village for a few days, and then she found an opportunity to escape. When she escaped, she took another woman from the same village, Ayun, who was sold there. She was taken back to the Liu family by Liu Yu, the young master of the Liu family. She is now in Fenghua Town."

Chu Xuan's tense face finally relaxed slowly. After a while, he felt a little weak. After a while, he finally stood up and asked, "Where is Nan An, whom I asked you to investigate? What is the background of this person?"

The moment Nan'an suddenly appeared at the gate of Prince Ye's Mansion, Chu Xuan felt that something was wrong and secretly ordered Shen He to investigate this person.

"Nan'an is a young lady from a prominent family in Southern Xinjiang. She suddenly appeared in the capital after the princess disappeared. She personally went to see Concubine Xian, and through Concubine Xian she met the emperor. Finally, she was sent to the Night Palace."

"Nanjiang? Concubine Xian's people?" Chu Xuan was a little confused. If they were Concubine Xian's people, why would he need to take the initiative to look for Concubine Xian?

No matter how you look at it, there is something weird about this matter, but Shen He's next words just happened to clear up Chu Xuan's confusion.

"Your Highness may not remember that Nan'an's father, Nanli, was once the left-wing general of Southern Xinjiang. When Nan'an was young, he also met you on the battlefield."

"So I guess..."

Shen He paused and didn't say anything, but his unfinished meaning was very obvious.

I am afraid that Lu Yanluo’s disappearance and Nan’an’s sudden appearance in the capital are closely related.

Chu Xuan's face turned cold. He didn't want to pay attention to Nan'an for the time being. The most urgent task now was to bring Lu Yanluo back to Beijing as soon as possible.

"Follow me to Fenghua Town. I will personally take the princess back to the capital."
