"Miss, please relax. The carriage is ready over there. Princess Wumeng is leaving today."
Wu Sheyue rolled her eyes and said, "She might as well not leave. She would probably be laughing in the car."
Ning'er suddenly felt that she was wrong if she said too much, and she lowered her head and did not dare to persuade her again.
After a while, voices came from the yard, and Wu Sheyue asked, "Who is here?"
"It sounds like you are the fifth young lady. Aunt Zhao has brought a lot of things to the young lady these days."
"Yes." Wu Sheyue originally wanted to get up and go see her, but she was weak and irritable, so she changed her mind halfway through. "Hey, let's just say I'm so tired that I'm sleeping these past two days. You can walk around the house with her." Wu Yin'er always came to see her like this, but when she saw her, she usually didn't want to change her friendship. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We have never been at odds with each other. I still feel a little sorry that we are always like this.
Ning'er went out to greet her, while Wu Sheyue leaned against the window and watched.
Wu Yin'er walked in, and Ning'er stepped forward to hold her arm and said: "Fifth Miss, you are here."
"Sister Ning'er, how is my third sister?" Wu Yin'er has grown a lot during this time. She seems to be feeling relieved, and her face has become more beautiful.
Ning'er sighed, "Hey, Miss has been exhausted both physically and mentally lately, which makes me worried. She just lay down now and I don't know if she is asleep or not."
Wu Yin'er nodded lowly, "Oh... Then I won't disturb my sister."
"Ning'er, let's go for a walk with Miss Fifth. There will probably be fewer people to talk to after you come out to live."
"yes."
The two of them left Haitang Garden and walked on the path for a while. Ning'er deliberately avoided those important courtyards and only walked within the area A-Li told her to do.
After a while, Wu Yin'er asked hesitantly, "By the way, just now..."
"What?"
"Oh, I mean, Princess Wumeng left for home today, right?"
"Yes." Ning'er looked at Wu Yin'er beside her carefully.
Wu Yin'er lowered her eyes and hesitated for a while, "Sister Ning'er, hey... I'm telling you, don't tell the third sister about this." Without waiting for Ning'er to agree, she continued, "When I came just now , see, see... "
Ning'er became wary and said with a smile on her face, "Fifth Miss, please just tell me."
"I saw... the young prince and Princess Wu Meng hugging each other and reluctantly kissing each other goodbye!"
"Really or not?" Ning'er interrupted before she could finish her words, and her smile became colder. "Princess Wumeng and the young prince have always been playmates, how could they do that?"
Wu Yin'er immediately regretted it and stamped her feet anxiously, "Really, oh... so I said don't tell Third Sister. Wow, why am I so talkative!"
Ning'er held Wu Yin'er's hand firmly and smiled reassuringly, "Okay, Ning'er will never say anything to bring trouble to the young lady. Don't worry, fifth lady."
"Oh... that, that's good..."
—
Wu Yin'er was anxious all night after returning. She didn't know whether Ning'er's last intention was to say it or not to say it, whether to say it normally or to say it in an extravagant way.
Not only could she not see through Wu Sheyue, but now she couldn't even figure out the people around Wu Sheyue. She felt uneasy no matter how much she thought about it, so she came over early the next morning to ask for information.
This time she saw Wu Sheyue, but it was still at the door of the mansion, and it was a similar scene to the one early yesterday morning...
The attendants and maids were loading the car, while Wu Sheyue and Yu Jing were standing at the door of the mansion. They had nothing to say and the atmosphere was a bit stiff. Wu Yin'er was a little surprised. Wu Sheyue was... going to run away
Ning'er walked out with the box. When she saw Wu Yin'er in the distance, she called to her, "Miss Fifth, you are here."
"Hey..." Wu Yin'er stepped forward carefully and asked her, "Where are the third sisters going?" She said while glancing at the faces of the two people, both of whom looked bad.
"Go back to Mingqi, Miss wants to go home."
"Is this, so sudden?"
"Hey, the closer we get to the wedding, the more awkward things become. We can't help it, but we servants are also worried." Ning'er shook her head helplessly, and then went to work.
Wu Yin'er didn't dare to come forward and speak, so she stood aside and watched quietly. As soon as Wu Meng stepped forward, Wu Sheyue's hind legs stopped staying. It was really a bit silly.
The carriage was ready after a while, and Yu Jing stretched out her hand to tighten her cloak. Wu Sheyue didn't say anything and raised her legs to leave.
"Third, third sister..." Wu Yin'er hurriedly took two steps forward, her voice trembling.
Wu Sheyue stopped and looked back at her, "What's wrong?"
"I… "
Wu Yin'er and I couldn't say anything for a long time. Finally, Wu Sheyue said calmly: "Okay, you can go back first." Then he got on the carriage.
As soon as Wu Sheyue bent down and opened the curtain, she saw someone was already sitting in the car. She looked back at Yu Jing in surprise. One corner of the man's mouth was raised slantingly, with a gentle and evil smile. Wu Sheyue blinked and sat in silently, followed by A Li Ning'er and others.
The carriage drove slowly, Wu Sheyue took a look outside and lowered the curtain. Shen Yanhuan leaned on the cushion and laughed: "I will take you to the city gate."
Wu Sheyue rolled her eyes at her, "He sent you in?"
Shen Yanhuan did not answer the question, and took out a lot of snacks, toys, and even some polishing and design tools from the secret compartment. They were all the things she liked to tinker with. Wu Sheyue smiled when she saw them.
Shen Yanhuan said exaggeratedly: "Oh, you are stupid when Wu Meng runs away and you run too. You must think clearly, you always give others opportunities to take advantage of loopholes."
Wu Sheyue smiled and said, "Oh, I don't care. What are you worried about?"
"Are you too ambitious? If you ask me to tell you that you fell into Wu Meng's provocation, I won't leave."
Wu Sheyue smiled slyly, took out a letter from her sleeve and waved it in front of her, "I'll go home first to recognize my relatives."
Shen Yanhuan pulled it over and opened it. It was a reply from Yin Qiu Ming, asking her to return to Mingqi to recognize her ancestors before getting married. The title of princess must be firmly established in order to be able to hold on to a name as great as Yu Jing's.
After reading this, she laughed angrily, "Did you go back because of this?"
"if not?"
"It's okay, some people are worried for nothing. They still insist on moving me here to persuade..."
Wu Sheyue lay down on the armchair, "His worries are justified. After all, he hugged and kissed Wu Meng. There must be a reasonable explanation~"
Shen Yanhuan asked in shock, "Who told you? Is it true?"
"Wu Yin'er told Ning'er."
"Then... can Wu Yin'er be trusted?"
Wu Sheyue shook her head, "I don't know. Anyway, it is certain that he and Wu Meng have a different relationship. Anyone who says anything can be true or false. But I have to go to Mingqi to see my mother first. I only told her a few days ago. She is anxious about getting married."
"You didn't even ask him?" Shen Yanhuan felt a bit outrageous. Wu Sheyue is really a weirdo among women, why is she different from others
"Yeah." Wu Sheyue held her chin and smiled, "If you want to know whether this is true or not, you can see after I leave. If he is not in my sight, I will see what he can do." What's mine is always mine.
Shen Yanhuan shook her head, she was too blindly confident...
—
After Yu Jing watched Wu Sheyue leave, he turned around to go back. He turned his head and saw Wu Yin'er and asked casually, "Want to come in and sit down?"
He knew that Wu Yin'er always ran here, and since Wu Sheyue always allowed it, he definitely wouldn't say anything more.
Wu Yin'er was a little surprised, but immediately nodded shyly, "Hey." Yu Jing looked away and walked past her, Wu Yin'er immediately followed.
She held the corners of her clothes with her hands and looked around uneasily. As soon as the two of them climbed the steps, a person suddenly came out silently from one side.
This man's kung fu is pretty good, and his movements are neat and agile. However, Yu Jing's guards also reacted quickly, shouting "Who is that!" and blocked him.
The man blocked the guard's knife with his sword, passed through the gap between the two of them, and stabbed Yu Jing in the back with a long sword in his hand.
Yu Jing didn't care about this level of assassination. Before he could turn around, he could already feel the sword wind coming from behind him.
He was about to raise his hand and turn around, but suddenly the man next to him suddenly rushed over, hugged his waist from behind, and trapped his arms inside. Wu Yin'er's sudden strength was so great that it seemed that all the muscles and bones in her body were working hard. Such strength prevented Yu Jing from breaking free immediately.
"Ah-" She couldn't react for a moment, the man's sword was inserted into Wu Yin'er's back, and at the same time, the strength in her hand finally loosened.
Yu Jing reached out and grabbed Wu Yin'er's wrist, flicked it to the side, turned around and kicked the assassin away. The assassin didn't react at all to avoid him, and fell out with a cry. The two guards immediately stepped forward and held him at bay with their knives.
Yu Jing didn't have time to look at the assassin. He frowned and looked at Wu Yin'er on the ground. Her back was bloody, her face was pale and sweating profusely, her whole body was tense, and she was moaning in pain.
Seeing Wu Yin'er struggling, Yu Jing stood still.
Just now... She was too strong, and Wu Yin'er was very short, so the assassin's sword would have been too low to hurt her. If the assassin's target was his vest and Wu Yin'er couldn't stop it, then he might really be killed by such a low-level assassination operation.
He had been fighting in Longfu in the Cold Land for twenty years, and he had never failed like this.
Wu Yin'er was in so much pain that she turned around with great effort and gritted her teeth and said: "Little, little prince... help me..."
Yu Jing came to his senses, he bent down and reached out to pick Wu Yin'er up, strode into the house, "Ask Zhu'er to come and take a look."
"yes."
After sending Wu Yin'er into the house and handing her over to Zhu'er, Yu Jing had time to pay attention to the assassin. Two guards escorted the person into the courtyard, and Yu Jing knew it was a woman at a glance. Although she was wearing men's coarse clothes, her exquisite curves were fully displayed and she was not disguised at all. Yu Jing recalled inappropriately the time when Wu Sheyue wore men's clothing...
He waved his hand, and Ayan pulled away the cloth covering his face, "Master, is this Jiang Ying?"
Jiang Ying hasn't been seen for a long time. Her face is sallow and skinny, and she is so haggard that she no longer looks as beautiful as a lady. But those eyes were still very expressive - they conveyed hatred. When she saw Yu Jing, she shouted, "You, you bastard! Kill me!" (To be continued)
