Chapter 1997: Chapter 1997: Loyal Dog Bodyguard (5)
Zhen Rou left Jinxiu Pavilion with a bewildered look on her face. She glanced at Changsun Hang and, seeing his displeased expression, wisely refrained from approaching him.Changsun Hang turned and glared at the sign of Jinxiu Pavilion.
After a moment, Changsun Hang took the initiative to embrace Zhen Rou, saying, "Rourou, I’ve acquired some fine fabric recently. I’ll have someone send it to you."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhen Rou bowed her head in gratitude.
"Sorry for putting you through this."
"I don’t feel wronged." Zhen Rou leaned into Changsun Hang’s embrace; even if she felt wronged, she couldn’t admit it.
Arguing with Changsun Hang at this time would be seeking trouble.
Yet, the more Zhen Rou said this, the more Changsun Hang felt guilty.
So, he sent plenty of other things as well.
-
After that day’s events, neither Changsun Hang nor Zhen Rou appeared again, and Chuzheng enjoyed two peaceful days.
During this time, Ying Xiang’s illness also improved considerably.
"Miss." Ying Xiang, feeling better, immediately came to serve Chuzheng: "Here’s some lamb bone broth. Please have some. The weather is getting colder, and your health might suffer."
Chuzheng signaled her to put it down: "Why are you out here? Is your injury healed?"
"Miss, I’m fine now." Ying Xiang replied, "I can serve you."
Chuzheng nodded and slowly drank the soup.
Ying Xiang stood by, wanting to speak but hesitating until Chuzheng could no longer bear it: "Speak your mind."
"Miss..."
Ying Xiang bit her lip and decided to speak despite her hesitation.
"You offended His Highness previously, and he’s certainly angry... Aren’t you the one who liked him the most?"
Although Ying Xiang wasn’t present at the time, she’d heard that His Highness was terribly angry.
Miss Chuzheng was usually cautious, so how did things escalate with His Highness?
Chuzheng’s tone remained unchanged: "I don’t like him anymore."
Ying Xiang: "!!!"
Initially, she felt the Third Prince wasn’t the right match for Miss Chuzheng; he never truly liked her.
Yet Miss Chuzheng was determined to marry him, ignoring even the elders’ advice.
Therefore, hearing those words from Miss Chuzheng now left Ying Xiang utterly shocked.
But...
Ying Xiang swallowed: "Miss... you’ve changed a lot lately..."
Chuzheng: "Do you think I should remain the Prince’s Consort who doesn’t know how to resist against bullying?"
