Chapter 232 - 231: Seventh Prince
Afu was anxious in her heart. Guard Wang said he was a noble from the Capital City, and with his behaviour, could this person be the "playful" Seventh Prince?
Her brow was furrowed, but she still glanced sideways at the man. He was very handsome, effeminately so, slightly thin and looking at her with that audacious, fiery gaze.
She bowed again and said, "My lord, there must have been a misunderstanding just now. I don’t know that young lady at all. Perhaps she mistook me for someone else."
Chen Yuhui also recovered her composure, she could tell that this man had an uncommon bearing, with his guards dressed in military attire. If he was a noble from the Capital City, even her father would not dare to offend him. She quickly said, "Yes, I was mistaken, I don’t know her at all."
The man did not expect Afu to respond this way, the corner of his mouth twitching, he said, "So, does this mean I was meddling in other people’s affairs?"
Afu did not respond to him, instead, she bowed again and asked, "May I leave now?" She thought, this was the busiest street in Dingzhou, if this man was a prince, he probably wouldn’t grab someone here.
The man indeed nodded his head and said, "Please, do as you wish, Miss."
Upon hearing this, Afu passed him and walked ahead.
Afu was walking ahead, with Xue Dagui and the others following behind. Soon, they reached the junction of the main streets. After finding Uncle Qing, Afu, along with two maids, got into a carriage. Guard Wang mounted his horse, Xue Dagui sat in front while they hurried off towards the Chens’ residence.
Afu leaned against the back of the carriage, her eyes closed, thinking about what had just happened. Her heart was in a state of panic. She was afraid, not only because she had been audaciously scrutinized by that man, but there was something else unsettling her. What could it be?
