Chapter 290 - 289: She Hit Someone and Just Left
Mu Xi had not seen her since the last time he was angered at Qin Liuxi’s place. It was nothing special; he had always been a cherished and pampered individual from childhood. But now, someone was not pandering to him, even clearly drawing a line, and he felt upset about it.
However, this time his upset was different, nobody came to coax or pamper him, so he had to endure the frustration silently.
There was no way around it, he could not reclaim his stance!
Mu Xi did try to seek her out, making excuses to visit Qingping Temple twice, but he was unable to see Qin Liuxi or know her whereabouts. Meanwhile, in the capital, he received a letter every day urging him to return, as the cold weather made the road back to the capital difficult, and it would only get harder if he delayed further.
Yesterday’s letter, even more critically, was from the Empress herself, stating if he did not return, she would send the Phoenix Guard to fetch him personally.
Mu Xi had no choice but to leave, knowing his elder sister was capable of that. After all, the ultimatum was set because his parents had gone to the Palace crying.
From the moment he set out until he left the city gates, Mu Xi was listless, unable to lift his spirits, even if someone came to meet him, he remained listless.
What ghost is Xiao Zhanrui from the governor’s mansion?
Mu Xi lazily lifted his eyelids, hearing Xiao Zhanrui’s greetings from outside once more, he kicked open the door to look out, waving his hand: "Xiao Zhanrui?"
"Yes, it is I."
