Chapter 49 A Thrilling Backdoor Tour
Ye Wanning and Cui'er left Yichun Courtyard and headed towards the Prince's Mansion. When they got not far from the mansion, they found that a carriage had appeared out of nowhere in front of the gate, with several guards standing in front of it.
Ye Wanning noticed that the guards looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them before, so she couldn't help but wonder who they were.
Seeing Ye Wanning stop, Cui'er was taken aback and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Since the Fourth Prince brought them back last time, some of the confidants in the mansion have known that they occasionally wear men's clothing to go out on business. So they have no more scruples about wearing men's clothing. Why did the young lady stop at the door now?
"Shh!" Ye Wanning gestured and whispered, "Someone's coming. Just to be safe, we'd better come in through the back door to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Cui'er was taken aback, then nodded.
Ye Wanning tiptoed into the mansion through the back door. She carefully looked around and, seeing nothing amiss, turned and waved to Cui'er behind her, signaling her to come in.
Just as Cui'er took a step, her expression suddenly changed, and she stood stiffly at the door, motionless.
When Ye Wanning saw that Cui'er had suddenly stopped moving, she was taken aback. Just as she was about to ask her what was going on, she suddenly noticed a shadow beneath her. Ye Wanning's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "Oh no!"
"Young masters, what brings you to the Prince of Jin's residence through the back door, so furtively?"
That voice… Ye Wanning was startled. It wasn’t Su Wenzhen or Su Wenyan, it was actually… She stiffly turned her head and looked at the person in front of her in surprise. How could it be… Su Wenliang!
Su Wenliang frowned, looking at the person standing in front of him with some confusion. This... isn't this the Second Princess Consort...?
Seeing Su Wenliang's expression change, Ye Wanning guessed that he had recognized her, and she couldn't help but feel a little startled. She didn't know whether Su Wenliang was friend or foe, and she wondered how she would explain herself later...
She was clearly a woman, yet she insisted on dressing as a man. Su Wenliang looked at the woman in front of him with some amusement. This imperial sister-in-law was indeed interesting.
If that's the case, then I'll play with her properly. Thinking this, Su Wenliang coughed twice and pretended to be puzzled. "This young master looks very familiar. I wonder if we have met before?"
Hearing Su Wenliang ask her this, Ye Wanning couldn't help but feel puzzled. She looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he hadn't recognized her. She frowned. Was that even possible?
Seeing that Ye Wanning remained silent, Su Wenliang chuckled, "It seems that you, young master, are not prepared to be treated with courtesy." As he spoke, his eyes flashed, "Then I'd better have the guards in the manor arrest you two and interrogate you properly!"
"Young Master, please calm down! Young Master, please calm down!" Seeing Su Wenliang's sudden change of expression, Ye Wanning immediately pleaded for him. Regardless of whether he really didn't recognize her, at this moment, it was best to protect herself!
If the person who came was Su Wenliang, then Su Wenyan must have come too! Having just come out of that dark and chaotic place, she had no desire to go back in!
Ye Wanning pursed her lips and smiled ingratiatingly, "Actually, we're here to find someone!"
"Oh?" Su Wenliang raised an eyebrow, asking with some curiosity, "Who are you gentlemen looking for? Why are you being so mysterious?"
"Who are you looking for..." Ye Wanning was speechless at Su Wenliang's question. She turned her head and glanced at Cui'er, who was too frightened to speak. Suddenly, an idea came to her. She pointed at Cui'er and said, "Looking for her sister!"
"Ah!" Startled by Ye Wanning's pointing, Cui'er quickly recovered and chimed in, "Yes, yes, we're here to find my sister!"
Su Wenliang didn't reply, looking at the two people in front of him thoughtfully. After a while, he smiled and looked at Ye Wanning, saying, "Could it be that the young master's sister is your sweetheart?"
"Yes, yes!" Upon hearing Su Wenliang's question, Ye Wanning immediately chimed in obsequiously, "I haven't seen that girl in so long, I've been missing her terribly!"
Hearing Ye Wanning say this, Su Wenliang couldn't help but find it amusing. This imperial sister-in-law really didn't care about her status. Although she was now "in the body of a man," she was unusually...open-minded...
He smiled and shook his head. "In that case, I won't disturb you any longer, young master. Please go ahead!"
Seeing that Su Wenliang had relented, Ye Wanning finally felt relieved. She bowed to Su Wenliang, gestured to Cui'er, and was about to escape this dangerous place when her foot suddenly slipped.
"ah!"
"careful!"
As Su Wenliang held the woman in his arms, a sudden feeling welled up in his heart. Her soft, boneless body and the faint fragrance of her body filled his entire world. He stared blankly at the woman in his arms, suddenly feeling that this feeling was exceptionally wonderful.
Ye Wanning opened her eyes and saw that she hadn't fallen but had been caught by Su Wenliang. She couldn't help but feel a bit more favorably disposed towards him. She straightened up and smiled at Su Wenliang, "Thank you, young master!"
With his arms suddenly empty, Su Wenliang felt a void in his heart as well. He shifted uncomfortably and said with a touch of melancholy, "It was nothing."
Seeing Su Wenliang's indifferent expression, Ye Wanning was taken aback. She really couldn't figure out what he was thinking. She bit her lip and decided it was best to change into women's clothing as soon as possible to avoid any complications.
Ye Wanning smiled and took Cui'er's hand. "Then, young master, we won't disturb you any longer. We'll be going now."
Su Wenliang snapped out of his daze and saw Ye Wanning's bright smile. He was momentarily stunned, but after a while, he came to his senses and replied, "Okay, go ahead!"
Staring at Ye Wanning's hurried departure, Su Wenliang clenched his fist. His second sister-in-law... A determined glint flashed in Su Wenliang's eyes. He was determined to have her!
After walking for quite a while and getting out of Su Wenliang's sight, Ye Wanning finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked behind her and, seeing that no one was following, stopped and began to pant heavily.
Cui'er looked at Ye Wanning with some concern, "Sister, I feel like there was something wrong with the way that person looked at you just now."
"Huh?" Ye Wanning was a little confused and looked at her in confusion. "What do you mean?"
After hesitating for a while, Cui'er said, "That man looked at you like a wolf seeing its prey."
Ye Wanning was taken aback, then looked at Cui'er with amusement. She waved her hand with a smile, "You're overthinking it. That person is the Third Prince, and I'm his sister-in-law!"
Clearly startled by Ye Wanning's words, Cui'er was first taken aback, then looked at Ye Wanning with some surprise, "So that's the Third Prince!"
“Yes.” Ye Wanning smiled. “He went to the Qiang Kingdom a long time ago and only returned in the last few days. It’s normal that you don’t recognize him.”
Hearing this, Cui'er nodded. After a long while, as if thinking of something else, Cui'er frowned again. She looked at Ye Wanning, "Sister..."
Seeing Cui'er's hesitant expression, Ye Wanning looked at her with some confusion, "What is it? Speak?"
"It's just..." Cui'er blushed and twisted her fingers, "I've heard that some high-ranking officials in the city have homosexual tendencies, and the way the Third Prince was looking at you, could it be..."
Ye Wanning looked at Cui'er, her lips twitching. This girl's imagination... is really getting richer and richer...
