Chapter 405 - 384 Second Update
"Oh, it is indeed so. The Commandery Princess asked something she shouldn’t have. I will take my leave." Zheng Nianru said, turning around to leave, instantly reverting to her distant and cold demeanor. Fu Dong hurriedly put things down, good that she left, good that she left. The next moment, she didn’t know whether her Commandery Princess would say something astonishingly unconventional. Standing at the doorway, Yu Yuan panickedly turned tail and ran. Only after Zheng Nianru was far away did he tentatively come back, uneasy.
"My lord, it’s time for your medicine—" Yu Yuan, holding the bowl of medicine, really wanted to know what the Commandery Princess had come to say so late, but he didn’t dare to ask. By dismissing the two female servants from the Commandery Princess, his lord had refused her kind gesture.
Yu Yuan didn’t dare to speculate and became lost in thought as he looked at his own lord’s appearance. It was only a figure like Lord Ju Nanyi that could match the Commandery Princess’s appearance.
Pah, what was he thinking? His lord had clearly rejected the Commandery Princess’s female servants, and even the implied meanings in Prince Duan’s words were clear to an outsider like him. Yet, his lord remained very calm.
Ju Nanyi was extremely agitated, wanting to send Yu Yuan away, to be alone and calm down. He didn’t know why Zheng Nianru would do this, what her purpose was.
However, whatever the purpose, it made one thing clear: her "objective" was never him.
Ju Nanyi gulped down the medicine and passed the bowl back to Yu Yuan, deliberately ignoring Yu Yuan’s hesitant manner. He didn’t want to speak a word, let alone guess what Yu Yuan’s curious probing was all about.
Seeing this, Yu Yuan also didn’t dare to ask any more questions. Seeing Ju Nanyi lie down, he left somewhat reluctantly.
As soon as Yu Yuan left, Ju Nanyi immediately opened his eyes. The darkness hid his disheveled expression, the full day’s hesitation, and the confidence in his future life which now all vanished like smoke.
He had sworn that he would never let the end of his life become like that of his memories. Yet, in the end, it was already like that from the beginning...
