Xu Zhiyan reacted very quickly. He bowed in a neither servile nor overbearing manner as he said, “This humble official greets the Prince Regent and Young Marquis Luo.”
“Let’s go,” Yu Yunxi said. She did not care about the attitude of the person on the other side and pushed the door open before entering the house.
Xu Zhiyan lowered his gaze and did not say anything as he followed her into the house.
“That…” Luo Xiuran scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing what to say to comfort Feng Yili.
“Let’s return to the Prince Regent’s Residence,” Feng Yili said, looking away. At this time, he had already regained his indifferent appearance. It was as though nothing had happened at all.
Yu Junjin gulped. He had seen his mother’s reassuring look earlier, but how could he feel reassured? It seemed like his mother really did not want his father anymore. However, he felt a little selfish now. He really wanted his mother to be with his father so their family would be complete.
Meanwhile, Luo Xiuran could only watch helplessly as Feng Yili boarded the carriage. He muttered to himself, “A man and a woman are alone in the house…
Yili isn’t anxious at all, but I’m about to faint from anxiety! Forget it. He’s not anxious so there’s no reason for me to be anxious!”
The little bun stuffed a piece of pastry into Luo Xiuran’s hands and said with a sigh, “Brother Xiuran, don’t be so anxious. Have a piece of pastry to calm down.”
Luo Xiuran happened to feel hungry so he quickly stuffed the pastry into his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ying could not help but say, “Young Marquis Luo, the child just picked up the pastry you just ate from the ground.”
“What is it?” Luo Xiuran coughed, almost choking to death. When he turned around to settle scores with the little bun, the little bun had already run into the carriage.
After entering the house, Xu Zhiyan said jokingly, “I’m usually busy so there aren’t many servants in the house. Everything is very simple here so don’t despise it for being shabby.”
Yu Yunxi glanced at Xu Zhiyan before she said, “Lord Xu, when you visit my place in the Yu Residence, you’ll know the true meaning of shabby.”
Xu Zhiyan shook his head and laughed. “Are you trying to make me feel better? Thank you. ”
After ordering a servant to brew tea, Xu Zhiyan suddenly asked, “How is it? Do you like my house?”
Yu Yunxi had been discreetly studying the house. When she heard Xu Zhiyan’s words, she felt as though she had been caught red-handed. She smiled awkwardly and said, “Yes, it’s good.”
“Alright. Then this house will be at your disposal from now on,” Xu Zhiyan said nonchalantly.
“What?!”
Yu Yunxi was stunned.
“Xu Zhiyan, you…
Xu Zhiyan slowly said, “I’ve known you since I was young. You were staring at the house before we came in, and after we came in, you’ve been studying everything carefully. How could I not understand your thoughts? Do you need a place to do something?”
Yu Yunxi sighed with a helpless expression on her face. She sat on a chair at the side and said, “When I was young, you always knew what I was thinking.
Unexpectedly, even after I grew up, I still can’t hide my thoughts from you.”
In the end, she decided to be truthful. She said, “That’s right. I plan to open a medical hall.”
“A medical hall?” Xu Zhiyan asked before he nodded and said, “The Revival Hall saved many people when your mother was running it. If you inherit her legacy, you’ll save just as many lives…’
“It’s true that I wanted to buy this house in the beginning. However, I don’t have such thoughts now that I know you’re staying here,” Yu Yunxi quickly explained. She did not have a bit of coveting other people’s possessions. Xu Zhiyan’s smile widened when he heard this. He said, “It’s just a house. I can move elsewhere.”
“This house is big, and I live alone. You’ll be able to make the best use of it if you run a medical hall here,” Xu Zhiyan said patiently.
“But…” Yu Yunxi was not very willing. She felt that she was taking advantage of Xu Zhiyan.
“Yu Yunxi, you have to buy this house. I’m not giving it to you. You don’t have to feel bad. If you refuse me again, I’ll be unhappy,” Xu Zhiyan said, feigning a serious expression on his face.
“Alright,” Yu Yunxi said, “I’ll ask my maid to send the money over and look for a place for you.”
At this moment, the servants served the tea.
“Sir, the tea is here.”
“Since the important matters have been dealt with, I wonder if you’ll accompany me, an old friend, to catch up?” Xu Zhiyan asked with a smile as he poured tea for Yu Yunxi.
Yu Yunxi naturally would not refuse Xu Zhiyan. Moreover, he had also done her a favor.
The two chatted for a long time, and it was not until late at night and the street was empty that the door opened.
“Let me send you back to the Yu Residence,” Xu Zhiyan said as he ordered a
servant to bring the carriage out, intending to personally send Yu Yunxi back.
“No need. You still have to attend morning court tomorrow. Rest early,” Yu Yunxi said with a smile.
Seeing that Yu Yunxi was adamant about this matter, Xu Zhiyan could only give in, watching her get into the carriage and leave.
In the carriage.
“Qian Jiao, find a new house for Lord Xu as soon as possible,” Yu Yunxi said to Qian Jiao, who was driving the carriage. Since Xu Zhiyan gave up his house for her and she could not refuse, she was determined to find a good house for him.
“Yes, County Princess.”
After the carriage pulled into an alley, its speed suddenly slowed down.
Not long after, Qian Jiao said grimly, “County Princess, something’s wrong. It seems like they’re people lying in wait to ambush us…”
Yu Yunxi, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened her eyes slowly, revealing an icy gaze.
“Qian Jiao, protect yourself.”
As soon as Yu Yunxi’s voice fell, four men in black appeared in the dark.
Qian Jiao quickly pulled out her whip and attacked the men.
Yu Yunxi did not stay idle. She grabbed her dagger and rushed out. However, she soon discovered that these people had deliberately lured Qian Jiao away. Seeing that Qian Jiao had chased the men into another alley, she made a move to chase after them.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over.
‘What a powerful internal energy!’
Yu Yunxi’s heart sank. She spun around, but she was still a little slow. When she turned around, the other party had already appeared in front of her.
The other party held her waist and pressed her shoulder before both of them fell toward the wall behind her.
Yu Yunxi braced herself, waiting for her back to crash against the wall. However, after waiting for a while, the pain did not come. As it turned out, the other party had used his arm to protect her back. She looked up and saw a pair of dark eyes. Her expression darkened immediately as she asked, “Feng… Feng Yili, what are you doing?”
‘What’s wrong with this person? Why is he blocking my way in the middle of the night?’
Feng Yili did not remove his hand from her shoulder as he asked, “Why did you only come out now?”
‘Is he questioning me?’
Yu Yunxi laughed angrily. She said coldly, “Your Royal Highness, I’m a free person. I don’t need to report to you, right?”
Feng Yili tightened his grip on her shoulder upon hearing these words. His eyes churned with emotions as his breathing grew heavier. It was clear that he was not calm.
Yu Yunxi could feel his warm breath and felt slightly uncomfortable. She raised her hand to push him away as she said stonily, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to go save my maidservant lest your subordinates hurt her.”
Feng Yili’s eyes darkened even more, and his aura turned even colder as he asked, “Are you really going to speak to me in such a manner?”
Feng Yili punched the wall behind her. Blood dripped down his knuckles immediately, and the smell of blood permeated the air.
“What? Is the Prince Regent going to hit me out of anger?” Yu Yunxi asked icily as she raised her head to look at him. At the same time, a dagger fell from her sleeve into her hand, and she held it up against his heart..
