Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007
Women have a mysterious sixth sense in this regard.
Back then, outside the Fengya Pavilion, Dong Huiying was surprised by the young foreigner’s admiration for Lan Gu, but she could also see that, although Lan Gu appeared indifferent, deep down, she probably had quite a bit of affection for the young man as well.
So, taking advantage of this action, Dong Huiying created an opportunity for the two to interact. As for whether they could end up together, it would still depend on how deep their fates tied them. Such matters could only be decided by those involved.
At this moment, Charles, prone to wild thoughts, mistakenly believed that Miao Qing had cast a spell on him. Unwilling to accept this, with an innate vicious streak that preferred mutual destruction, he hurriedly had another letter written, hoping it would be delivered to the hands of the Seventh Princess as soon as possible.
The presence of the Seventh Princess in the Mist Capital kept Tie Yi and the others on edge all day. She always appeared warm and gentle to others, but Tie Yi and the impersonating City Lord Tie Si never dared to underestimate the Seventh Princess.
The Seventh Princess had stayed in the Mist Capital for quite some time and did not come away empty-handed.
She had gathered some intelligence, though it was tricky and of little worth.
When Zhi Chen was in the Mist Capital, he always wore a mask, and besides confidants like Tie Yi and Tie Si, almost no one had seen his true face.
On the matter of whether "the Lord of Mist Capital is the person she wants to find," the Seventh Princess had no conclusion yet but accidentally unearthed two other matters.
One was Lu Yinyin’s attempt to bewitch and murder the City Lord’s wife, but she was captured and died in the Mist Capital dungeon.
The other was that Lu Yinyin’s sister, named Lu Yuanyuan, had seriously injured the Lord of Mist Capital, but in the end, she was destroyed by the City Lord’s wife.
"City Lord, wife..." The Seventh Princess sat in her wheelchair, her brows gentle, yet she kept pondering over these four words, as if savoring them.
Later, she sought an opportunity to visit Tie Si, who was impersonating the Lord of Mist Capital. "May I ask if the City Lord’s wife is present? I am idle today and somewhat bored. I have heard much about the City Lord’s wife, yet have never seen her in person."
Tie Si hoarsely replied, "My wife is a lively type and found Mist Capital boring, so she took my second brother to travel around for fun."
The Seventh Princess’s eyes glimmered with a deep smile, "Is that so..." She gave Tie Si a profound look; whether she believed his words or not was uncertain.
In any case, despite the Seventh Princess’s amicable appearance, Tie Si and Tie Yi always felt that this person was unfathomable, beyond their collective understanding, making it difficult to discern the true intentions in the heart of the Seventh Princess.
During this period, a minor incident occurred. Ah Da, a man who was a suitor of Lu Yinyin, had been the one to bring the Seventh Princess to the Mist Capital after carrying messages for Lu Yinyin at her behest.
Upon his return to the Mist Capital, everyone was tight-lipped about Lu Yinyin’s situation. Initially, Ah Da was unaware of the truth, but later, he inadvertently overheard some words from the Seventh Princess, leading him to realize that the young woman he admired was dead?
Ah Da, being a fool, incessantly questioned the cause of Lu Yinyin’s death. The Seventh Princess herself was too lazy to argue with a fool, but her subordinates, annoyed by Ah Da, dismissively said, "If you want to know, go ask your City Lord!"
