Wang Yanzhou explained, "Look at him. I thought he was just frightened, but I guess he's been tricked."
Wang Ruo couldn't help but complain: "Look at how young you two are, but you have quite a few enemies."
Tang Chen glanced at Wang Yanzhou and said, "I think it's more likely that he's a love rival."
Wang Ruo almost laughed out loud when she heard this. As a mature adult, holding back laughter is just a basic skill. Wang Ruo didn't want to recognize Wang Yanzhou yet. If possible, she would rather he never knew that he had an aunt in this world. "By the way, I haven't been out alone for a long time. I want to ask you two, do you know which way to go to Qingliang Valley?"
Wang Yanzhou said, "Follow this road southeast for another two or three hundred miles and you will reach the valley entrance."
"Thank you," Wang Ruo said, then turned around and walked away slowly.
Seeing Wang Yanzhou staring at someone's back, Tang Chen slapped him on the shoulder with some jealousy: "Hey, wake up, I can still stare at you even with my mask on!"
Wang Yanzhou said with a puzzled look: "Why do the man's eyebrows and eyes look familiar..."
Tang Chen waved his hand: "You know she's a beautiful woman. Hurry up and deal with Big Brother and the horse first. Forget about the horse, but he actually attacked people. We must find the murderer and give him an explanation."
After Wang Yanzhou collected his thoughts, he said, "Logically speaking, this journey should be safe. Let's take the small road back. I will take care of the groom."
After saying that, Wang Yanzhou released the fireworks in his hand that he was using for emergency communication. After taking the luggage out of the overturned carriage, he found pen and ink, wrote a note and put it on the luggage. He took some dry food and a fire starter, and then took Tang Chen into the dense forest beside the road.
Not long after they left, three or five people rode fast horses to the scene of the accident. After confirming the contents of the note, they quickly moved the carriage to the side of the road, packed up the luggage, carefully placed the driver's body on the horse's back, and then rode away in the direction of Qinghe County.
That night, Tang Chen covered his stomach and looked up at the moon above his head, which looked like a steamed bun. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Ah, I'm so hungry!"
Wang Yanzhou said helplessly: "Who told you to eat it all in one breath? Just bear with it and talk about it in the morning."
Tang Chen knew she had to eat less since she didn't have much dry food, but she couldn't help herself. Then, accidentally, by the time she realized what was happening, it was too late. She didn't know what was wrong; she rarely did such inappropriate things. Alas, it was probably because she was hungry and had no meat to eat.
Tang Chen lay in Wang Yanzhou's arms, looking at the bonfire beside him and said, "Do you feel that this scene is very familiar..."
Wang Yanzhou closed his eyes and gently patted her forehead, saying, "Go to sleep, or I'll throw bugs on your bun."
"We're out of steamed buns. What are we eating tomorrow?" As she spoke, Tang Chen recalled the time when she had just met Wang Yanzhou. Back then, he had given her the impression of being a mysophobe, a venomous snake, and a stingy person. Who knew he would be her husband now? Life is truly unpredictable. If this was a dream, her imagination was truly overblown.
Wang Yanzhou assured him, "You were worried about having nothing to eat in the forest. Once you've rested up enough, I'll take you to eat some meat tomorrow."
Even insects are fine, Tang Chen has only one request: "But I don't want to eat roasted snake, even if it means starving to death."
Wang Ruo had left earlier, but when she turned back, she saw the two men sneaking into the woods. Curious, she followed them. Unexpectedly, eating dried meat while eavesdropping on others' conversation was quite interesting.
Watching them slowly fall asleep by the bonfire, using the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed, snuggling up to each other and chatting, Wang Ruo smiled sincerely: "What a happy couple! I almost cried."
...Yao Chen was suddenly taken back by the master, and there was no time to inform Shu Yang. By the time Shu Yang realized something was wrong, Shangguan Bing'er had already become a princess.
Before daybreak, Shu Yang had already dressed and started to eat breakfast: "Liuying, did Shi Jun send a message in?"
Liuying shook her head and said, "No. This person seems to have disappeared recently, and our people can't find him no matter how hard they try."
Shu Yang put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "If he's hiding on purpose, who can find him? Well, Shangguan Bing'er will be here soon, so go get ready first."
"yes."
Not long after, Shangguan Bing'er, dressed in gorgeous clothes, arrived outside Shu Yang's bedroom with a large group of people in a grand manner.
Liuying walked in with small steps and said, "Princess, Princess Anle is here."
Shangguan Bing'er's features were already majestic, and now, in this outfit, she truly possessed the air of a princess. Now that she had come to her senses, she looked radiant and full of energy. As long as she stayed in Shuyang Palace for a month or so, the envoys from Beimo would arrive to welcome her. The glorious future she had imagined countless times in her mind was about to begin.
After Shangguan Bing'er led everyone in bowing to Shu Yang, Shu Yang took the initiative to step forward, supported her lightly, and nodded to Liuying.
Liuying then walked up to the crowd and said, "Everyone, please stand. From today on, Princess Shuyang will be responsible for teaching Anle the etiquette of the royal family. Aside from the maids selected for the marriage, all others who have come with Princess Anle will receive their rewards and then return home."
"Thank you, Princess."
...By the time Tang Chen and the other two had walked along the eleven-mile path from the dense forest to Qingliang Valley, which was about three hundred miles away, the envoys from Beimo had already arrived within the borders of Liang State. In another ten days or so, they would be able to reach the capital.
When Wang Nianqing returned from outside, she saw from a distance two people who looked like Wang Yanzhou and Tang Chen, talking and laughing as they headed towards the palace gate. She quickly ran over to take a look, and it was indeed them. It was the strange smell on them that made Wang Nianqing take several steps back in shock: "Oh my God, if I didn't know you two, I would have thought you were refugees from somewhere!"
After Tang Chen laughed a few times, he said with a silly look on his face: "Ah, I can't stand the smell of my body either. Although I took a shower on the way, I can't wash my clothes!"
The people in the mansion heard some noise outside and wanted to see what happened. Butler Wang just opened the door when he was grabbed by Wang Nianqing: "Don't stand outside and talk, Uncle Wang, quickly get someone to prepare hot water, soapberry petals and clean clothes!"
Seeing the two of them return safely despite their travels, Butler Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Ah, you're finally back. If I hadn't called you earlier, I would have thought you were missing! I'll make arrangements right away!"
After Wang Nianqing looked Wang Yanzhou and the other two up and down, she instructed Butler Wang, "By the way, have Chen Xin bring the guys who are going to eat over here!"
"knew!"
