Although Shang Yiqing left the Xiao manor in a huff, she did not intend to let Nan Yulan go. If Nan Yulan's attitude had been better just now, perhaps she really wouldn't have minded. However, she saw that Nan Yulan's attitude was more contemptuous than mocking, more mocking, and more sarcastic. She simply didn't care, which was why Shang Yiqing was angry. However, she was not able to vent her anger at all. This made her feel really bad.
What should he do? Could it be that she was going to let him go just like that? She had tried to assassinate Fang Zinan, hurt him with her sword, and even entered the palace to kill him. Even if Brother Xiao likes her, he can't just let her go like this. What was he going to do about it?
As he walked along, he unknowingly arrived at a crossroads.
"What are you doing?"
With a light question, the man in front of him was handsome and elegant. If she wasn't Fang Zinan, who else could she be? How could he have met him here? Shang Yiqing was already angry, but when he saw Fang Zinan, he became even angrier and said in annoyance, "You care about me?"
"I'm just asking." Fang Zinan smiled, "Are you still angry at me?"
"Of course …" Shang Yiqing rolled his eyes at him and kept walking forward, not wanting to bother with him. However, Fang Zinan just followed and walked side by side with her. He glared at him unhappily and asked fiercely, "Why are you following me?"
Fang Zinan glanced at her, "Don't be so fierce. Where did you go today?" Then he said affirmatively, "I know that you're not angry today because of me, but because of who pissed you off." It was as if he did not care about the fact that Shang Yiqing was angry at him.
Shang Yiqing was angry, and was thinking about the Southern Wasteland. Seeing Fang Zinan ask, he didn't know if he should tell him about meeting the Southern Wasteland. He hesitated and didn't say anything.
As if he had seen through Shang Yiqing's thoughts, Fang Zinan smiled, "If there's anything, tell me. Perhaps I can help you."
"I don't need you to care! You big liar, why should I believe you? "
Fang Zinan lowered his head and looked at her seriously, saying word by word, "We are husband and wife, if you don't believe me, who else can you trust? Don't be angry anymore, our great army is about to depart the day after tomorrow, you hate me so much? " At the end, an indescribable sadness appeared in Fang Zinan's eyes.
Shang Yiqing lowered her head and thought for a while before speaking, "I didn't think much about forgiving you, but just now, I saw the Southern Wasteland in Brother Xiao's residence …"
"Are you talking about Southern Yu Lan? That female assassin? " Fang Zinan's pupils contracted. He had thought that Xiao Tian Yuan would really send Nan Yulan off, but he had actually left her in the manor. He was truly too bold.
Shang Yiqing nodded, "It was that female assassin. I recognized her and wanted to capture her. However, Ying Ying tried so hard to stop her, so I had to leave. I'm still angry in my heart though."
"Are you saying that Ying Ying also forbade you from capturing her?" What did Ying Ying say? " Fang Zinan asked again.
"Ying Ying said that Big Brother Xiao wanted her to watch over Southjade so he begged me not to capture her." When Shang Yiqing said this, she thought of Southcloud's disdainful gaze and gritted her teeth in hatred.
Fang Zinan suddenly turned his head, "I want to go to the Xiao family and personally capture Nanyu Lan. She hurt my big brother to such an extent that I can't let her go no matter what." As he spoke, he rushed in the direction of the Xiao manor.
Shang Yiqing was happy that Fang Zinan's reaction was more intense than hers. She had been angry at Fang Zinan for not being able to catch her and even made fun of her. Now that she knew Fang Zinan was going to capture her, she immediately added: "I'll go with you."
"No, this won't do. The Southern Wasteland martial arts are strong, and they kill people without blinking an eye. If you go, there won't be a good outcome. I still have to take care of you." Fang Zinan firmly refused her.
"That's not it …" Furthermore, Big Brother Xiao is locked in the manor, so she doesn't even have the strength to fight back. The last time she stabbed me, I still remember you bringing me along with you. " Shang Yiqing looked at Fang Zinan with pleading eyes.
These days, Shang Yiqing ignored him and wanted to go with him on matters concerning Nan Yu Lan, how could Fang Zi Nan refuse? She smiled gently at her: "I can bring you if you want me, but only if you promise me one thing first."
"What is it?" Shang Yiqing raised her eyebrows, not knowing what Fang Zinan wanted her to promise.
Fang Zinan stared at her and quietly said: "Don't be angry with me."
"Forget it, if you don't want to bring me, then I'll go alone. If you want me to forgive you, that is impossible! " Shang Yiqing's temper flared up again. She hated it when people talked to her about conditions the most. She was thoroughly angered by Fang Zinan's question.
Fang Zinan's expression changed slightly before letting out a sigh of dejection. There was an indescribable melancholy and arrogance on his face, causing Shang Yiqing, who was not too far away, to feel a bit cold. After a moment of silence, Fang Zinan said: "Let's go." This voice sounded quite helpless.
When the two of them arrived at the Xiao manor, the servants of the Xiao manor were very puzzled. Moreover, they also saw that there were quite a few guards behind Prince Rong, while Fang Zinan had a stern expression on his face, which was very different from his usual demeanor.
"What has the Prince come here for?" Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, the Head Manager Zhang from the Xiao manor stepped forward and started to laugh.
Fang Zinan said coldly, "I am here to find the culprit. Get out of my way."
Chief Eunuch Zhang widened his mouth in surprise. Because of the unusual relationship between General Xiao and Prince Rong, he didn't expect him to come to the mansion to arrest someone. He was at a loss.
The guard led by Fang Zinan said, "Move out of the way."
Then, a group of guards gathered around Fang Zinan and entered the Xiao manor.
Once Fang Zinan and Shang Guiqing entered the Xiao manor, they headed straight for Ying Ying's room.
"You guys wait outside. Without This King's order, you are not allowed to casually arrest people." Fang Zinan gave a command and then walked into the room.
When Ying Ying heard the commotion outside, she wanted to go out and see what was going on. However, Fang Zinan's expression was cold as he appeared before her along with Shang Yiqing.
"Big Brother Fang, what happened?"
"We are here to apprehend the imperial court's messenger, Nan Yulan. Hurry and get out of the way." Fang Zinan acted as if he was doing business, and there was no trace of his usual gentleness.
Ying Ying's expression changed abruptly as she retreated two steps before pointing at Shang Yiqing. "Consort Rong, you …"
Shang Yiqing couldn't explain anything to Ying Ying, so she could only pretend she didn't hear what Fang Zinan said.
Fang Zinan's voice was as cold as ice at the bottom of a cold pond: "Ying Ying, hurry up and get out of my way. I've only come here today to capture Yulan and have nothing to do with anyone else. You don't have to stop me."
"No," Ying Ying shook her head before stopping them. "Big Brother said to let me look at Miss Nan. I cannot let you all take her away." Ying Ying's body swayed slightly as she stood in front of Fang Zinan.
Fang Zinan took a deep breath and said gently, "Ying Ying, you know that Nan Yu Lan hurt my big brother so badly and killed me and Qing Er many times. I can't let her go. I must capture her today." With that, he signaled Shang Yiqing to stop Ying Ying and walked into the room.
Unexpectedly, a cold and sharp voice came from behind him, "No, whoever wants to capture her will have to ask me first."
