Capítulo 645: Chapter 461: Little Crybaby, Beautiful and Delicate, the Rugged Man Dotes on His Wife (11)
Hong Xiu did not hesitate and directly said, “I’m going to the capital of the Wang Dynasty to find my cousin.”
“And this gentleman, what is your purpose for this trip?” Su Zhiruan looked at the Third Prince. Follow current novels on NovelHub(.)net
“This gentleman carries an air of nobility, he must be from a prosperous place.” Ji Xiaoyuan’s gaze subtly fell on him, causing the Third Prince to shudder slightly. He then continued, “Ah, it’s time to write a letter home.”
When he said this, his eyes were fixed on the Third Prince.
It was obvious without saying, he did it on purpose.
“…Yes,” the poor Third Prince gritted his teeth, fearing that Ji Xiaoyuan would write a letter to his father, the Emperor, and arrange his marriage directly.
“I also need to return to the royal capital!!” The Third Prince almost spat out the words one by one, but he was powerless.
Mainly due to the pressure of bloodlines and hierarchy.
In terms of age, he and Ji Xiaoyuan were not much different, Ji Xiaoyuan was only a few years older, they were essentially peers.
But in terms of hierarchy, Ji Xiaoyuan was undeniably the Little Imperial Uncle.
Even though the Eldest Prince was older than Ji Xiaoyuan by a year, their father and Ji Xiaoyuan were full siblings, so he still had to respectfully call him Little Imperial Uncle.
“Isn’t that coincidental, you both dare to return to the royal capital.” Su Zhiruan smiled, “In that case, why not travel together.”
The Third Prince glanced at Ji Xiaoyuan and meekly said, “If Miss Hong Xiu is unwilling…”
“I am willing,” Hong Xiu looked at Su Zhiruan with a gaze full of lingering sorrow, as if she were a heartless man who had betrayed feelings, and finally she wept, “Sister~ whatever you ask Hong Xiu to do, Hong Xiu is willing.”
“Alright, you two should set off quickly.” The more Ji Xiaoyuan thought about it, the more it seemed amiss.
He initially thought that Hong Xiu’s attachment to Miss Ruan Ruan was just an instinctive closeness, but those words made him inexplicably feel… a pang of jealousy.
He was skilled at controlling the enemy’s morale on the battlefield.
But this time, his analysis led to a rather absurd conclusion, that Hong Xiu also liked Miss Ruan Ruan.
He immediately urged the Third Prince and Hong Xiu to set off quickly. “In that case, you two should hurry and set off to return to the capital city soon.”
“Goodbye, Uncle.” The Third Prince lifted the curtain and called out to his uncle, making Su Zhiruan burst into laughter.
From Little Imperial Uncle to Uncle, the diversity of his titles was quite amusing.
Seeing Ji Xiaoyuan’s expression change like a colorful palette, she also laughed.
The Brothel Owner felt something was off.
Initially, she saw Su Zhiruan, thinking she could trap him since he was much prettier than Hong Xiu, but later, after receiving ransom, they left with Hong Xiu.
She thought it was a two-for-one deal, but actually, it was like a cooked duck flying away, making her lose both the madam and the soldier.
And in reality, it was a slap in the face for her.
When she tried to report to the county magistrate, she found him reluctant to even bring it up, as the person in question was likely not simple.
After hearing the Brothel Owner’s account, the county magistrate discussed the matter thoroughly with his advisors.
“…Don’t listen to her. If it’s the Ji family, it’s imperative to be extremely cautious.”
“Sir, there’s news circulating everywhere. The Third Prince loves to travel incognito, maybe it’s the Third Prince in disguise!”
“Makes sense.” The county magistrate decisively concluded.
