Chapter 1673: Chapter 1673: Avoidance
The Chu King is here too?
As soon as Su Yunjin heard this, her whole body stiffened. Why is the Chu King here? What is the Chu King doing at the Prince Ning Residence at this time? Could it be that the Chu King is also here because of Leng Jingxian? Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novelFirｅ.net
Su Yunjin was visibly shocked, and several thoughts flashed through her mind, while Gu Yan, standing beside her, seemed fine. Beyond the initial surprise, Gu Yan’s expression did not change much.
“Mrs. Gu, what’s wrong? Is there something amiss?” Noticing Su Yunjin’s reaction, Manager Xiao tentatively asked. Su Yunjin snapped back to her senses and quickly shook her head, “Nothing, nothing, I was just asking casually.” As she spoke, Su Yunjin sneaked a look at Gu Yan’s expression.
Clearly, there was nothing between her and the Chu King. Yet, ever since she became aware of the Chu King’s intentions towards her, Su Yunjin had felt somewhat uneasy. Very awkward.
Manager Xiao was skeptical of Su Yunjin’s words. Just a moment ago, Su Yunjin’s expression clearly showed that she was very surprised by the Chu King being also at the Prince Ning Residence, but Manager Xiao did not ask further. At this moment, Gu Yan spoke, “Since the Prince is not in a position to see us now, might I trouble Manager Xiao to take us to a side hall to wait?”
Knowing that the Chu King was also here, Su Yunjin feared she might encounter him if she went inside, and suddenly didn’t want to go to the Prince Ning Residence anymore. “Husband, can I go back first?”
After hesitating a bit, Su Yunjin decided it was better to go back. After all, Leng Jingxian’s matter could be handled by Gu Yan; Su Yunjin had no worries at all.
Gu Yan originally did not intend to bring his little wife to the Prince Ning Residence. If it weren’t for her coquettish insistence, he wouldn’t have brought her along.
Now that the little wife suggested going back, Gu Yan didn’t say much, nor did he oppose, “Yun Niang, I’ll have Uncle He take you back.” Uncle He was the driver that Gu Yan arranged, and it was he who drove them to the Prince Ning Residence just now.
“Husband, if I take the carriage back, how will you return later?” With only one carriage, if she took it, Gu Yan would have none to return with.
Such a minor issue, yet the little wife still remembered it, “Yun Niang, don’t worry about me, I have my ways to return.” Su Yunjin thought and then suggested, “Husband, how about this? I’ll go back first and have Uncle He come back to wait for you? What do you think?”
Gu Yan had no objections, “Alright, as you say.” Actually, Gu Yan had plenty of ways to return, but since his little wife made the suggestion, he let her have her way.
After all, it wasn’t anything important.
There was no harm in listening to his little wife.
After seeing his little wife off, Gu Yan then went into the Prince Ning Residence with Manager Xiao. Su Yunjin sat in the carriage, belatedly slapped her forehead. No, why was she hiding? There’s nothing between her and the Chu King. What was she doing just now? Why did she run off as soon as she heard the Chu King’s name?
Su Yunjin felt a bit speechless at herself.
She lifted the curtain and looked outside. Now that the carriage had started, she couldn’t return to the Prince Ning Residence anyway. Forget it, since she was already in the carriage, she might as well go back!
Leaning in the carriage, Su Yunjin took out the herbal remedy recipe Mrs. An gave for Little Tiangua and looked at it several times. She still did not know what the last herbal ingredient, mulberry twig, was.
Why not take this opportunity to stroll around town?
She might as well visit the town’s pharmacy to inquire.
“Uncle He, I’m not going back. I want to run some errands in town; please take me there.” Su Yunjin put away the recipe and instructed the driver, Uncle He, outside.
