"How did you get out? Is my brother-in-law, the Regent, so easy to talk to that he'd let you out?" Wen Tingyun asked curiously from inside the carriage.
Wen Nongnong leaned comfortably against the car wall, crossed her legs, and said nonchalantly, "What's so difficult about this?"
Seeing her like this, Wen Tingyun was no longer surprised. Hearing her relaxed tone, he frowned and asked, "Isn't it difficult? After all, you are already married, and your husband's family is the Regent's Palace, which has many rules."
“Gu Linchao is not in the manor.” Wen Nongnong glanced at him.
"No wonder." Wen Tingyun suddenly realized.
"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Tell me about the situation in Tunzhou," Wen Nongnong said.
Wen Tingyun then gave her a general overview of the situation in Tunzhou.
It turns out that Tunzhou was not far from the capital, and because of its proximity to the capital, it was very wealthy and prosperous, known as the "Little Capital". In addition, it had beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate, so many high-ranking officials and nobles liked to buy property there.
Therefore, young men and women from the capital often went there to play.
The headquarters of Akabane-ro was located there.
Not long after Wen Nong Nong left the capital, Gu Lin Chao returned to the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as he returned, Butler Chen immediately recounted to him what Wen Nongnong had said when she left, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
"...The Princess Consort believes that the Prince has not returned to the manor for many days and has not sent anyone to deliver a message to her because he is tired of her. Therefore, the Princess Consort does not want to stay in the manor and get in your way." Steward Chen sighed and continued, "When the Princess Consort left, she looked very sad. This old servant was also very sad to see her like that."
Your Highness, you should go and bring the Princess back as soon as possible. She has changed a lot lately, showing you great care and attention. Just two days ago, she was waiting for you to return for breakfast, but you didn't come back even by almost noon. She must be quite disappointed. And since you haven't returned for the past two days, she thinks you're deliberately neglecting her…”
As he spoke, Butler Chen's tone unconsciously carried a hint of reproach.
Thinking of Wen Nongnong's heartbroken expression when she left, he couldn't help but advise, "Even if Your Highness dislikes the Princess, she is still your lawfully wedded wife. She has always been very caring towards you, and she hasn't committed any serious wrongdoing. Your Highness shouldn't neglect her like that. She's still young; how can she bear it..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao's phoenix eyes flashed with surprise, as if he had misheard.
Wen Nong Nong was so heartbroken because he didn't return to the manor that she left the palace to go out and clear her head.
However, he did not return home, not because he was tired of her, but because there were urgent matters in the army that required his personal attention. For the past two days, he had been staying in the military camp.
I didn't send her a message because I felt it was unnecessary. That's how it's always been, and I've never seen her sad or upset.
But this time, she actually started overthinking things and misunderstood him...
And the tone of Butler Chen's voice...
He couldn't help but glance at Butler Chen.
Seeing this, Steward Chen quickly lowered his head, his voice becoming much weaker, "This old servant knows you don't like to hear these words, but the Princess is truly heartbreaking to see..."
Gu Linchao paused, then frowned and asked, "Where has the Princess Consort gone?"
Steward Chen hurriedly said, "The princess said she was going to the estate to relax, so she must have gone to one of her estates. Ask Lü Qiao, she should know."
Soon, Lü Qiao was summoned over.
"Which estate is the princess living on?" Gu Linchao asked directly.
