Chapter 1067 - 1069: I Can’t Find Him Anymore_1
"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that anymore. Anyway, I plan to eat well for a stretch of time while I’m at your place, Yang Chuxia. You can’t be stingy, huh? Prepare some of the delicious stuff from your house for me. Sigh, the things you sent over last New Year were simply amazing."
The Commandery Princess Dongyang mentioned these matters to Yang Chuxia without any hesitation, as if she had known Yang Chuxia for many years.
Even though they had just met, although they had exchanged a few letters, they could only be considered friends, not close friends.
Yang Chuxia had to admit that this girl was really quick to make herself at home.
Fortunately, she didn’t find the girl annoying; instead, she quite liked her temperament. It was the type that suited her own tastes.
"Don’t worry about that, my house lacks nothing but has the most food."
But that wasn’t quite right, she had been to the Capital City for a while, hadn’t she? In the Capital City, they must have all sorts of delicious foods, right?
In the Capital City, whether it’s the Mu Residence or the imperial palace, could they possibly mistreat her, a Commandery Princess?
Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her.
"Why are you looking at me with that kind of expression?"
Commandery Princess Dongyang was about to eat shrimp, and just as she brought it to her lips, she saw Yang Chuxia staring intently at her.
"I’m wondering how Mu Shaoling mistreated you in the Capital City to make you so interested in the food at my house after just one trip there."
At the mention of this, Commandery Princess Dongyang felt frustrated because during her time in the Capital City, she had been completely smitten with Mu Shaoling and didn’t pay attention to anything else.
Thinking of Mu Shaoling made Commandery Princess Dongyang’s heart ache. She didn’t even know where he was and felt like avoiding it.
"Yang Chuxia, has Mu Shaoling ever been here?"
With a flicker in her eyes, Yang Chuxia chuckled mischievously.
"Are you here to find Mu Shaoling?"
Seeing her laugh, Commandery Princess Dongyang got excited, thinking Mu Shaoling had been there. "Where’s Mu Shaoling? Did Mu Shaoling really come to Funan?"
"You’re overthinking it," Yang Chuxia waved her hand, "he hasn’t been back here since he left with Linhao and the others last year."
"Then do you know where he is?" Commandery Princess Dongyang stared intently at Yang Chuxia’s face, fearing she’d miss any slight expression.
"How would I know where he is?"
With that thought, Yang Chuxia asked, "Isn’t he in the Capital City?"
Upon hearing this, Commandery Princess Dongyang nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.
Then, with a pitiful tone, she said, "What should I do, Yang Chuxia? I can’t find him, and I don’t know where he went."
"Can’t find him? Just wait for him in the Capital City. He can’t stay away from the Capital City for his whole life, can he?" Mu Shaoling had properties everywhere else. If he really wanted to be untraceable, he could easily go wherever he wanted.
"But the problem is, we are supposed to get married in May."
At that, Yang Chuxia paused. Get married in May, wasn’t that next month?
"Are you out of your mind? If you’re getting married in May, what are you doing here in Funan? What if Mu Shaoling just happens to return to the Capital City in time? What will you do if you’re not there?"
But then again, if Mu Shaoling had already agreed to marry her, why wouldn’t he be in the Capital City? With that in mind, she asked,
"Who arranged this marriage? Are the two of you truly in love?"
When it came to this marriage, Commandery Princess Dongyang knew she hadn’t acted properly. Nobody liked being coerced, and in that respect, she had been selfish. She owed Mu Shaoling an apology. But if she hadn’t convinced the Emperor to arrange the marriage, her father would have found out she was in the Capital City and would have likely sent her back to Yunnan soon after. Then, wouldn’t the clan elders arrange for her marriage?
