Chapter 149 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (16)
Qing Wu shook her head gently and said in a soft and soothing voice, "Thank you, Prince An, for your concern. It's actually nothing serious. Although I did encounter some minor unexpected situations, fortunately, General Huo came to my aid in time, and Awu was able to escape danger. Everything is fine now."
As she spoke, she cast a grateful glance at Huo Tingye.
Huo Tingye's expression lightened up a little.
"That's great, that's great..." An Huaiyuan's heart finally settled down and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
The big silly An Huaiyuan couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wanted to touch Qingwu's hair.
However, just as his fingers were about to touch Qingwu's hair, an extremely cold breath that chilled him to the bone suddenly hit him. It was clearly summer, but it was like the cold wind in December, which made people shudder.
An Huaiyuan's body trembled violently, and he subconsciously retracted his hand, looking towards the source of the coldness with suspicion.
Huo Tingye was staring at him expressionlessly. His deep gaze was like two cold sword lights, shooting straight at An Huaiyuan, as if he was looking at a dying corpse on the battlefield.
He was suddenly shocked. Why did General Huo have such a terrifying aura?
An Huaiyuan's body trembled involuntarily, and his hands trembled as he wanted to clasp his fists in salute and express his gratitude to Huo Tingye as Qingwu's fiancé.
However, a cold and deep voice sounded in front of him.
"Prince An is incredibly well-informed. Your Duke's Mansion learned about what just happened in the temple so quickly."
Huo Tingye said expressionlessly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring straight at An Huaiyuan.
An Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he answered subconsciously: "I asked Hua Yinzi about it. I saw that Awu had not come back..."
Huo Tingye just snorted coldly, not knowing whether he believed it or not, his eyes were heavy. "Oh? I've heard that the Duke's Mansion is good at making money, and the Duke's wife's family is in business..."
His tone was calm, as if he was praising, but his eyes, like deep pools, were still as gloomy as water. The oppression contained in them made An Huaiyuan dare not act rashly for a while.
Rong Jinxiu, who was standing aside, was observing the scene silently. She was quite satisfied with the male protagonist Huo Tingye. This was what a man was.
Look at An Huaiyuan again, he looks so timid and cowardly. He was so frightened by Huo Tingye's light threat that he didn't even dare to move.
It's like the difference between a lion and a Chihuahua...
Huo Tingye seemed to want to say something else, but at this moment, his eyes suddenly froze, as if he saw something unexpected.
His eyes paused for a moment, and then he snorted coldly, saying in an icy tone, "Prince An, I think we should let Miss Ning have a good rest. She's been exhausted from the long journey, and you've been 'hindering' her all this time. How can Miss Ning and Madam Ning return home to rest?"
An Huaiyuan did not notice the sarcasm and warning in Huo Tingye's words.
After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized it as if waking from a dream. "Oh, right!"
His face was filled with guilt, and he quickly said to Qingwu, "Awu, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault for not thinking it through. Go back and get some rest."
Then, An Huaiyuan seemed to remember something, scratched his head subconsciously, and reached into his arms.
After a while, he took out a large brocade bag and handed it to Qingwu.
This brocade bag was so heavy that Qing Wu was stunned.
......This is?
When Qingwu opened the brocade bag, the gold inside almost blinded people's eyes.
The big, silly guy in front of him was laughing in an extremely foolish way. He chuckled and scratched his head as he explained, "Awu, I came here in such a hurry this time that I didn't have time to prepare any decent comfort items for you."
"After much thought, I feel that the only way to express my gratitude to you is to bring you this gold. If there is anything you like, take this gold and buy it yourself."
Qing Wu's heart was slightly moved. This prodigal son...
Although she knew An Huaiyuan was always generous, but being so straightforward...
How could a Duke's Mansion have so much gold? Even if it was a business, it was too much.
Huo Tingye obviously noticed this as well. He thought with dissatisfaction, isn't it just a little silver?
This look...
It seems like everyone is short of money. I don’t know how much gold and silver His Majesty has rewarded us with for winning battles over the years.
He hardly ever used his salary.
Is this the only way An Huaiyuan can show his courtesy?
He seems to have no ability at all and is extremely stupid, but Qingwu is so gentle and indulgent to him!
That’s not right… Huo Tingye frowned. Could this young Master An easily come up with so much silver?
Even if the Duke's wife's family is in business, it is too unreasonable.
Something flashed through his mind. It seemed he had to check it out...
Ah Wu can't marry someone who looks like he can't handle anything and has no brains...
"Thank you, Prince. Awu will go back first." The veiled beauty was gentle and polite, with a clear and pleasant voice.
Although her face could not be seen clearly, one could imagine from her gentle tone and posture that Qing Wu must be looking at her fiancé with satisfaction at this moment.
"Okay, okay..." The big fool smiled even more foolishly, his eyes narrowed into slits, "Awu, go back and rest quickly. When you are well, I will come to see you with a valuable gift!"
The more An Huaiyuan spoke, the more he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him, and a chill penetrated into his bones.
It's summer now, why does it feel colder than the coldest days of winter?
He couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly grabbed his collar tightly, trying to resist the inexplicable chill, and then smiled foolishly at Qingwu.
Want to have another chance? Huo Tingye almost vomited blood.
Fortunately, Qingwu quickly bowed to him and herself, and then said goodbye to Mrs. Huo, with courtesy and elegance.
She took her mother back home, otherwise...
Huo Tingyuan snorted heavily.
Noticing that the urging voices coming from the restaurant next door were becoming more and more urgent, Huo Tingye no longer stayed.
Ignoring An Huaiyuan standing aside, Huo Tingye said directly to the servants, "Make sure to send the lady back home safely."
"Mother." Huo Tingye bowed to Mrs. Huo.
Mrs. Huo obviously understood that her son had important matters to attend to, so she nodded slightly and left first.
However, if you look closely at Mrs. Huo's eyes, you can find that there are some subtle hints of mischief hidden in them.
This was the first time she had seen her son's jealous face.
...It's quite funny.
