Chapter 206 Her Initiative
Chen Shuyao waited for a while, and when she saw that the man had really fallen asleep, she added two more branches to the fire before leaving.
The night was dark, and she ran around in the mountains and forests, one step deep and one step shallow. But no matter which direction she ran, she would eventually return to the same place.
Chen Shuyao was exhausted when she appeared in front of the fire for the umpteenth time.
She was desperate!
It is rumored that there is a kind of witchcraft in Miaojiang that can plant seeds without others knowing, and then the mind of the person who casts the spell can be controlled.
As Shen Shuyao thought about this, the fighting spirit in her heart was shattered.
At this moment, the grievances after being kidnapped flooded into her heart. She buried her head in her knees and cried silently for a while.
The tears and sweat on her face dripped onto the hem of her skirt, leaving large wet stains.
She had never been so embarrassed before, but she had to admit defeat.
She was crying and thinking about how to explain her use of natural incense, when suddenly someone grabbed her shoulders.
Chen Shuyao thought the man had woken up, and she struggled violently, "I don't really want to leave, please forgive me! Forgive me..."
But gradually, she seemed to realize something.
Chen Shuyao suddenly looked up and saw Xiao Mo's eyes, which were a mixture of pity and confusion.
She couldn't help but put her hand on the man's face and murmured in disbelief, "Really!"
Xiao Mo looked at the little girl who was lost and found again with a complicated expression, and then hugged her tightly again.
After a while, he looked at the man leaning in front of the fire and ordered Wuming in a cold voice: "Catch him and take him back together!"
The guards behind him quickly stepped forward and tied up the still unconscious man.
Looking ahead again, the prince had already left with his young wife in his arms.
Along the way, Xiao Mo held his wife tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that she would disappear again.
The October night wind was bone-chillingly cold, but Chen Shuyao, wrapped in the man's robe, broke out in a layer of sweat. She nudged herself against his chest feeling a little uncomfortable.
The man's expression was gentle. He reached out and touched the back of the young lady's head, but pressed her into his arms again.
Their horses ran very fast at first, but after rushing for a while, they slowly slowed down.
Xiao Mo did not ask the young woman in front of him about her experiences that afternoon and evening, but just looked at her cautiously.
Chen Shuyao felt a pang of pain in her heart from the cautiousness in the man's eyes, and Fang took the initiative to say, "I'm fine. He held me and rode for a while. Do you...do you mind?"
Xiao Mo seemed to let out a long sigh of relief, and then a laugh broke out from his chest. "Silly!" He laughed and touched her head. "No matter what, you are the wife of the prince. Is there any other possibility?"
Chen Shuyao rested her head on his chest, and now she could truly feel the joy in his heart.
Xiao Mo's originally cold and hard face relaxed at this moment, and the look in his eyes was unusually gentle. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, but it was a very beautiful shape.
Chen Shuyao almost unconsciously raised her head and moved closer.
The man seemed stunned for a moment, and then he turned from passive to active.
The young woman was breathless in an instant. She quietly put her arms around her husband's neck and kissed him back awkwardly.
The relaxed prince was like a lazy cat at first, but gradually he became impatient. He stroked his wife's back with his big hands and pressed her into his arms. In the end, the young lady shyly straightened her clothes and ended the moment.
Looking at his wife's shy and angry face, Xiao Mo leaned in and whispered, "I've already sent your maids to the hot spring manor. I'll deal with you when I'm done."
Then he pulled her into his arms and continued, "I sent a letter to the manor. Mother might not understand why we went to the manor again, but it shouldn't affect anything."
Chen Shuyao was grateful for his thoughtfulness.
Just thinking of the unfinished business he mentioned, I couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful!"
Xiao Mo smiled and said "Hmm", then said: "I was negligent today. I shouldn't have asked the guards to wait downstairs."
Since getting married, the couple often stayed together, and Xiao Mo himself didn't like being watched all the time, so he sent the maids and guards to eat in the hall.
Afterwards, the guards and maids waited downstairs, while the man took his wife's hand and went downstairs together.
In just a short while, something unexpected happened.
Chen Shuyao also agreed with this; she was a reserved person.
On weekdays in Yan Yutang, the maids were used to avoiding the master and mistress when they were together. They didn't expect that doing something they were used to in the mansion would lead to them being caught off guard outside.
Chen Shuyao didn't dare to think about what would happen to her if she was abducted to Nanyang Prefecture. The Xiao family had been loyal and righteous for generations. Would they betray their country and their people just because of a woman?
It's a dilemma no matter how you think about it, but fortunately...
Xiao Mo arrived just in time!
Thinking of the man who kidnapped her, Chen Shuyao said again: "That man seemed to have some magical skills. I drugged him and he couldn't escape. He was scared to death just now."
Xiao Mo thought about the situation when he first saw his wife. At that time, he thought something bad had happened to Yaoyao.
It was the first time he saw the little girl break down like that.
After listening to her talk, Xiao Mo finally understood a little.
He finally felt relieved and began to ask in detail about the details of Chen Shuyao's abduction and what happened along the way.
"Do you suspect that you are under his mental control?" the man asked with a smile after hearing this.
Shen Shuyao nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
"It's just some little tricks of Qimen Dunjia. It just so happens that your husband knows them, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find you so quickly." After he finished speaking, he saw Chen Shuyao's eyes sparkling, and then he said, "I can teach you some in the future. As a general on the battlefield, the art of formation is a category that you must learn."
However, that person knew that he might come looking for him, yet he still deliberately set up those clumsy little tricks. What was his purpose?
Xiao Mo thought for a moment, then touched her cheek and said, "It's okay. I'll take you to the village first."
That night, Chen Shuyao returned to the farm after midnight.
At the Duke Chengguo's Mansion, Wang was also confused for a while after hearing the news her son brought back.
She went to Songhetang to see her mother-in-law during the day, and heard that the boy would pack some food and bring it back.
As a result, she and the old lady waited anxiously in the mansion, but the brat was nowhere to be seen the whole afternoon.
Not only in the afternoon, but also in the evening, he went to the farm again.
Wang smiled helplessly, instinctively thinking that it must have been her good son's idea.
Every day he was thinking about taking Yaoyao away and running away. It turned out that he had forgotten his mother after getting a wife.
She laughed and cursed in her heart, then let it go.
When Xiao Mo came out of the farm, he heard that the man had woken up.
He was tied up with ropes, but he looked extremely calm, as if he had already put life and death aside.
Xiao Mo didn't say anything, but ordered Wuming to tie the man up and take him to another house in the city.
Seeing that the master only had a maid watching over him, Wuming asked in confusion, "How can one person keep an eye on him?"
Xiao Mo didn't even turn his head: "He came here with a purpose, how could he leave so easily?"
