Outside the Qian family gate, a carriage lingered at the corner for a long time, its curtains drawn until Qian Youxue and her servant entered the gate.
"Your Highness, it's been a whole day. Shouldn't you leave this place to me?" Guard Zhou Feng didn't understand why His Highness, who had clearly arrived at the Qian family's gate, was just waiting here and hadn't gone in yet.
The Crown Prince yawned wearily. If it weren't for his mother's insistence on making Qian Youxue, that ugly hag, his Crown Princess, he would still be miserable in this godforsaken place.
Looking back now, it was all because Qian Sheng was such a useless idiot; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to personally step in to find a solution to this mess.
He threw down his wine glass and asked with a grim expression, "Why haven't the people who went with us returned yet?"
Zhou Feng also found it strange that he had followed a good-for-nothing and hadn't returned yet. Could it be that the two girls beside the good-for-nothing were capable of something?
According to the scouts, the girl named Lianxin was bullied a lot in the Qian family. As for the other girl, Yunhe, there wasn't much information. All that was known was that she was bought back from a drunkard by a good-for-nothing.
Just as he was frowning and wondering how to reply to his master, one of the three people he had sent out returned.
A man dressed in tattered clothes sneaked up to the carriage. He had come out clean and tidy, but now he looked worse than a dog.
Before Zhou Feng could speak, the Crown Prince asked impatiently, "Quickly, where are the other two?"
"Your Highness, we followed them until we reached the vicinity of Duanjiang Tower, but then we lost them. I also got separated from the other two." The man looked terrified, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"Useless!" The crown prince was furious upon hearing this, got off the carriage, and kicked out.
Feeling extremely ashamed, Zhou Feng stepped forward and kicked the man again, then pointed at the disheveled man and asked, "You only lost someone, why did you end up in such a sorry state?"
"I was... I was... bitten by a dog..." The man felt wronged and wanted to cry. He didn't know why he was so unlucky. There were so many people on the street, but he was the one who got bitten by a dog, and his clothes were torn to shreds.
After hearing this, the crown prince's eyes darted around mischievously. He knew without a doubt that these idiots had been discovered and then tricked by the good-for-nothing.
snort!
If she dares to show herself again, he has a way to make her pay!
With a determined look, he turned and got into the carriage. He instructed Zhou Feng to send someone to stay and keep watch, while he had someone drive him back to the palace.
...
Having been followed during the day, Qian Youxue had already formed an idea in her mind. However, she hadn't given this warning, and now she felt the danger was even closer.
Although she couldn't be sure if they were the Crown Prince's people, she had seen one of the people following them in the palace, so she was certain that they weren't sent by Qian Yingxue.
How do they plan to ruin this wedding?
She was puzzled. The three men who had been following them earlier were utterly useless. She had only used her brain a little to separate them, and then she had tampered with some stray dogs she saw on the street, easily shaking them off.
If he really is the Crown Prince's man, the Crown Prince's intelligence seems a bit worrying. Should we lend a hand and resolve this matter as soon as possible?
After much thought, she found herself unable to sleep. Just as she was about to enter her spatial dimension to practice her cultivation techniques, she heard a familiar voice.
Upon closer listening, it was none other than his sickly younger brother, Qian Bowen. Why was he here so late?
