Capítulo 1955: Chapter 974: Reunion of Husband and Wife (Xiao Ji vs. Xinyang Extra)
Yujin looked worriedly at her young master, “Princess…”
Princess Xinyang’s eyelashes trembled slightly, emanating a bone-chilling coldness. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱
Yujin looked at the few people and said solemnly, “Marquis Xuanping is already married, he would never betray Princess Xinyang.”
The man laughed, “Marquis Xuanping is naturally flirtatious, and his relationship with Princess Xinyang has been superficial for a long time. Moreover, that Little Princess Dongyi is truly beautiful, no man could resist her charms.”
Princess Xinyang left with a grim face.
Yujin took a piece of broken silver out of her purse, placed it on the table, and hurried out.
The old gentleman and the man both looked at the silver, paused for three seconds, and simultaneously got up to claim the silver. The quick-witted waiter swiftly came over and shoved the silver into his chest before the two could react.
He then took out a dozen copper coins and rushed to the counter, “Shopkeeper, that’s for the bill over there.”
The old gentleman and the man looked disappointed as they pursed their lips.
The Dongyi people left, the women and children departed, and the injured beggar was helped away by his companions.
Princess Xinyang looked at the once-again empty street and felt a nameless fire burning even hotter inside her.
She lifted her skirt and got onto the carriage.
With a trembling heart, Yujin followed and sat beside her, tentatively asking, “Princess, don’t take it to heart, they don’t know the marquis, they’re just fabricating it.”
Princess Xinyang coldly said, “There’s no need to fabricate his nature.”
Yujin dryly laughed, “Wasn’t it because you were not on good terms as husband and wife before, that you didn’t want to be a real couple with him?”
Princess Xinyang coldly replied, “I never said I wanted to start anew with him now either.”
Yujin quietly said, “Oh. Then, by this logic, wouldn’t it be justifiable for the marquis to fool around outside?”
Princess Xinyang shot a sharp glare at her.
Yujin’s hair stood on end, and she quickly said, “But he definitely wouldn’t do that!”
Princess Xinyang closed her eyes, “Let’s go.”
Yujin quietly asked, “Are we still going to the military camp?”
Princess Xinyang blandly said, “Return to the Capital City.”
Yujin’s face changed, “Princess!”
Princess Xinyang leaned back against the cushion again, closed her eyes to rest, “My mind is made up, no need for further words.”
“…Understood.” Yujin reluctantly agreed.
They were just one step away from seeing the marquis, how could this situation arise at such a time?
The driver turned around and headed back.
Yujin tried to persuade her several times, but Princess Xinyang was resolute in her decision.
In hindsight, it wasn’t so surprising; it was already difficult enough for the princess to lower her pride and come searching all the way to the border pass, but suddenly hearing such news, it was inevitable she felt discouraged.
Marquis, oh marquis, it’s not that I’m not helping you two, it’s just fate intervening.
However, just as the carriage was about to exit Li County, something unexpected happened—they went to the post station to change horses and encountered the Dongyi group, who were also eyeing the same horse.
The Little Princess Dongyi, wearing a veil, stepped down from the carriage. The young girl’s figure was slender and tall, exuding a youthful vitality from head to toe. Her eyes were captivating, full of spirit, resembling ripples in an autumn lake.
Truly worthy of being the most beautiful in Dongyi.
Princess Xinyang, wearing a hat with a long veil, showed only a faintly discernible outline of her face, making it hard to see her features.
The two women crossed paths at the post station.
The Little Princess Dongyi arrogantly said, “I want this horse, you choose another one.”
“There’s a first-come, first-served principle in everything. I wanted it first, you choose another horse.”
“First come, first served? I have plenty of silver, however much you offer, I’ll pay double!”
“Does having money make you special, does being young make you special? You think I don’t have silver?”
What’s any of this got to do with being young? This person speaks so strangely.
The Little Princess Dongyi suspiciously eyed her up and down, extending her hand, scoffing, “If you have silver, then show it!”
Yujin whispered a reminder to Princess Xinyang, “Princess, we’re almost out of our funds.”
The Little Princess Dongyi said to the station master, “Return her silver to her! I’m buying the horse!”
“Yes! Yes!” The station master, not daring to offend Marquis Xuanping’s “beloved,” quickly stepped forward to return the two taels of silver to Yujin.
Princess Xinyang’s aura flared up, “You dare!”
The station master was so frightened he shivered!
The Little Princess Dongyi angrily said, “Why are you so fierce! Do you know who I am?”
Princess Xinyang mockingly said, “I know, the Dongyi heiress who clings to Marquis Xuanping, just a small tribe daring to call herself a princess, overestimating yourself!”
“You!” The Little Princess Dongyi was furious, “I don’t hit women! You kneel and apologize, and I will spare you!”
Princess Xinyang coldly replied, “It’s more fitting for you to kneel and apologize to me!”
The Little Princess Dongyi stomped her foot in anger, shouting, “Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! Someone! Teach these two a lesson!”
Eight Dongyi guards rushed forward, surrounding Princess Xinyang and Yujin closely.
The Little Princess Dongyi laughed triumphantly, “Are you scared now? There’s still time to beg for mercy—”
The last word was still on her lips when a robust figure descended from the sky.
No one saw how he moved, but in the blink of an eye, the eight Dongyi guards were on the ground!
The Little Princess Dongyi looked incredulously at the guards lying on the ground, “That’s impossible, this…you…what sorcery did you use! All of you, attack!”
The remaining twelve rushed towards Princess Xinyang and her group.
But how could these people be a match for Long Yi?
Long Yi effortlessly defeated them, leaving them sprawled on the ground.
Long Yi flashed in front of the Little Princess Dongyi, who looked at the masked man, so fast he was almost just a shadow, with such fear she could barely speak.
Long Yi’s eyes darted, he lifted a finger, and gently flicked her forehead, making her fall to the ground with a thud.
Princess Xinyang walked towards her step by step, looking down at her, “Now, do you still want to take what’s not yours?”
The Little Princess Dongyi wiped her tears, angrily saying, “Who exactly are you? How dare you bully me!”
Princess Xinyang’s eyes were sharp as she looked at her, “I am the Princess Xinyang of Zhan Country, the first wife of Marquis Xuanping, so what if I bully you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt two unavoidable gazes fall upon her.
She instinctively turned to look, and there stood Marquis Xuanping, not far away on the empty land, staring at her in shock.
