Chapter 587 - 566 Second Update
"I have matters to attend to," Ju Nanyi grumbled, unable to understand why his anger had been so easily provoked by the other party. Even as he turned his head back and realized he had lost his composure, the sense of grievance intensified.
He had been thinking of taking her with him, taking her away from all this to lead a carefree and joyous life. Now, he realized that it was pure folly on his part, for what she truly desired was a lavish and decadent lifestyle, always yearning for the dizziness of wealth and intrigued by the thrill of bloodshed, yearning for unrestrained freedom.
"The Empress has another important task for her visit to Bu Er Temple," Ju Nanyi said calmly, standing at a distance of about three meters, wearing the blue guard uniform that was no different from the others, yet he exuded an air of a cold moon and a gentle breeze.
It was then that Zheng Nianru took a glance at Ju Nanyi, realizing that it was official business, and so encountering Ju Nanyi here was not accidental after all. It must be that he had tracked her movements and had deliberately waited here. Since it was an important mission, the less who knew about it, the better.
"Lord Ju, it’s getting dark. Let’s go to my place and talk it over slowly," Zheng Nianru said, pulling her cloak around her. The cold wind rustled the fluffy collar, and the red agates by the young girl’s ears shimmered, casting shadows.
When Ju Nanyi came to his senses, the woman had already turned and walked away, with Nanny Yun closely following and Fu Dong awaiting Ju Nanyi, gesturing for him to go.
At that moment, Ju Nanyi did not know what to feel. It was as if under his gorgeous robe, only he knew it teemed with lice.
In the courtyard, Xing Yu was present, and the scene was bustling. No one expected Zheng Nianru to return so early. Chased by Xing Yu, Nian Xia rushed to the gate and nearly collided with Zheng Nianru who was returning. But what was even more dangerous was the backrest of the chair thrown vigorously by Xing Yu, heading straight for them.
"You little minx, rebelling..." Nanny Yun shouted, only to stop halfway upon realizing there were outsiders present and, more importantly, she should have moved to block the chair back. But by then, it was too late. Fu Dong was a moment too late to react, but another figure was quicker, catching the object before her and tossing it back to Xing Yu, who instinctively caught it and quickly retreated.
Fu Dong, feeling embarrassed, wanted to thank Ju Nanyi for his timely intervention, only to notice that he was very calm, showing no reaction to the situation at all, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
