Mei'er was somewhat bewildered to see Yunhe return so quickly and asked, "Did the news get out so fast?"
"With someone as clever and insightful as Granny Liu around, what news can't be spread?" Yunhe said happily, walking to the table to take a sip of tea.
Mei'er had also noticed Granny Liu long ago. Not only was she a good person, but she was also efficient in her work. Granny Wang, although she didn't talk much, was also quick in her work. It would be good if such people could be loyal to their masters.
The two maids didn't slack off either, taking turns keeping watch at the door for their master. Those who didn't keep watch stayed inside to practice their martial arts, so they wouldn't fall too far behind later.
In the courtyard over there, Leng Xue, who had just seen the Prince Xian off, heard the news that the Princess Consort was returning to the Qian residence and immediately went to report it to his master.
Xuan Mingye nodded after listening and murmured, "It's time to go back with her. I'm really worried about her going back alone to that ruthless place. Tell Uncle Cai to make some preparations. Also, tell the Princess that I will go back to the Qian family with her tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" Leng Xue was overjoyed to see that his master had finally given in.
They had long hoped that the two would live happily ever after; otherwise, where could they find someone as generous as the princess who would give them, the servants, elixirs as a daily reward?
Leng Xue went there but didn't see the princess, only Yun He waiting at the door. Yun He told him that the princess was cultivating, and he didn't want to disturb her, so he explained the situation and returned on his own.
As soon as he entered the door, Xuan Mingye asked anxiously, "How was she? What was her expression?"
"Master, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I haven't seen the Princess Consort. Miss Yunhe said that the Princess Consort is cultivating, so I dared not disturb her." Leng Xue spoke with great anxiety, fearing that his master would blame him.
To everyone's surprise, Xuan Mingye not only didn't blame her, but nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you did the right thing. You shouldn't have disturbed her cultivation. She probably hasn't fully recovered from that qi deviation yet. Go and collect your reward!"
Well……
For a moment, Leng Xue was numb; he hadn't received a reward from his master in a long time.
"What? You don't want it anymore?" Xuan Mingye said with a dark face when he saw Leng Xue still standing there.
"Thank you for the reward, Master!" Leng Xue quickly withdrew after expressing his gratitude. He figured that only the Queen could control his master's unpredictable temper.
...
The once grand procession of ten miles of red bridal procession has now become a long procession of ten miles of brides returning home.
Anyone who didn't know better would have thought it was a noble young master getting married. After hearing the answer, countless people were filled with envy and jealousy towards this Miss Qian.
"My goodness, such a grand affair for the bride's homecoming?"
"The War King is so good to the Queen!"
"How could it not be good? The War King is a cripple, but the Queen Consort's face has healed now, and she's a great beauty."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! My aunt's cousin works at the Prince's mansion, and he saw it with his own eyes. She's as beautiful as a celestial being!"
"No wonder, the War King is worried that the Queen Consort will be wronged."
"Such unwavering devotion, truly rare!"
There were all sorts of rumors circulating on the street, and upstairs at Delicious, Song Tian'er's face was practically black with rage.
Why does that woman receive such favor? It's just because she has a pretty face. Isn't Song Tian'er pretty too?
Song Tian'er angrily gritted her teeth, crushing the flowers in her hand into pieces. She glared angrily at the long line downstairs, feeling as if her heart had been stabbed, the pain making it hard to breathe.
"Miss, why are you doing this?" Meixiang looked at her mistress, who was so fixated on this unattainable love that she had lost a lot of weight these days.
snort!
Song Tian'er slammed her fist on the table in frustration, glaring fiercely at the carriage. She knew that the man was up there, and so was that annoying woman.
Inside the carriage, Qian Youxue awkwardly leaned to the side as much as possible, keeping a certain distance from someone.
However, the more this happened, the angrier Xuan Mingye became. Seeing that they were almost at the Qian family's door, he simply reached out and pulled the person into his arms.
"Let go, you bastard!" Qian Youxue tried her best to break free, but found that she was still no match for him.
"If you don't want the old lady to worry too much about your situation in the Prince's mansion, you'd better behave yourself." Xuan Mingye really didn't want to use threats against her, but this woman hadn't been able to be persuaded by either soft or hard tactics all morning. He, a dignified Prince of War, had never tried to coax a woman to be happy like this before. Couldn't she give him a little face?
snort!
Qian Youxue gave a cold snort and turned her face away.
He clearly did something wrong, and it's a good thing he was so fierce. Does she think she's so easy to bully?
Feeling wronged, she suddenly had tears welling up in her eyes.
Even though he couldn't see her face, Xuan Mingye sensed something unusual and reached out to turn her face towards him. Seeing the tears on her face, his heart softened again.
He lowered his head and kissed her tear-streaked face, speaking gently, "I didn't mean to, don't cry, it's breaking my heart."
Ptooey!
"I don't want to hear such disgusting dialogue," Qian Youxue thought, taking advantage of a moment of relaxation to push the person away forcefully and move to the other side to sit down.
While Xuan Mingye was angry, he dared not do anything more. Seeing her aggrieved tears, and thinking about how much she had suffered in the Qian family, he suddenly understood where this grievance came from.
Patiently, he moved closer to her again. This time, he didn't touch her, but spoke softly, "I've been wrong. You can punish me however you like."
Is it true or false?
Let her be?
Qian Youxue raised her head with a hint of disbelief, looking at the seemingly sincere-looking devil. He didn't appear to be lying; a slap followed by a treat—in her memory, Qian Sheng often used this tactic to coax the women in his harem. And yet, those women always fell for it.
But she couldn't fall for that!
snort!
She pouted, snorted coldly, turned her face away, and ignored the person, gently lifting the curtain to look outside.
The whole thing was such a grand affair, and quite a few people were watching. She knew this was what her grandmother wanted—for her to have a grand wedding and a grand return visit.
Well, for the sake of making her grandmother happy, she suppressed her anger slightly. Looking up, she spotted a familiar face in the crowd.
What a brilliant move!
That bastard recovered so quickly?
Looking next to Sai Miaoshou, there was a man named Haisheng. The two were whispering to each other, and Haisheng's expression didn't look good.
Xuan Mingye saw Qian Youxue staring blankly outside, so he sat down next to her and looked over. He found that her gaze was fixed on the man next to Sai Miaoshou.
"Who is that?" His tone suddenly turned several degrees colder.
Qian Youxue clearly sensed the sourness in the devil's tone, rolled her eyes at him, and said dejectedly, "The one who stormed the Prince's mansion with Sai Miaoshou the other day, the formation master Haisheng."
