Chapter 991: Someone from the Xuanyuan Kingdom

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

“Mother, Duchess, and Madam Shen.” Xiao Qirui entered and greeted the three of them. When his gaze swept past Yuan Yuwan, who was sitting beside Madam Xiao, he paused.

He had only vaguely seen a figure just now and did not see it clearly. Now, he could see the girl’s face clearly.

He suddenly thought of that sentence from a literature book. “A hibiscus is as pure as jade.”

“Oh my, Big Brother is infatuated with Sister Yuwan,” Xiao Ruoshui suddenly said, causing the maidservants in the room to laugh.

Yuan Yuwan had been afraid to look at the person just now. When she heard this, she subconsciously looked up and met the young man’s gaze. She blushed and quickly turned her head away.

This person was so rash.

Not to mention Madam Li, even Madam Shen, who was originally in a low mood, smiled.

Xiao Qirui, who did not know that he had left an impression on his fiancée, felt his face heat up. He wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but he felt stupid and did not know what to say.

Madam Xiao looked at the two of them and found it funny. She patted Xiao

Ruoshui lightly. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

After saying that, she looked at her son, who was standing there like a wooden block. “This is Yuwan. You haven’t seen her before, right?”

Xiao Qirui originally wanted to follow Madam Xiao’s words, but his behavior of staring at the girl would inevitably cause misunderstandings. He quickly said,

“I know.”

He knew, even though he had not seen her before.

Yuan Yuwan looked over in surprise.

Xiao Qirui lowered his eyes and explained what had happened in the courtyard behind the side hall with his friend. However, he only said that he had heard Xiao Ruoshui’s voice. When he went out, she had already left.

However, this time, Little Jiajia did not forget her friends. Instead, she took Yuan Yuwan’s carriage with Xiao Ruoshui. After entering the city, the three of them parted ways.

“Ah Rui, send Yuwan off,” Madam Xiao said.

Xiao Qirui had come on horseback and had been following her. Just as he was about to agree, Yuan Yuwan hurriedly said, “Auntie, there’s no need to go through so much trouble.”

“It’s no trouble,” Xiao Qirui interrupted her. There was a nervousness in his tone that he did not notice.

Hearing his words, Yuan Yuwan couldn’t refuse anymore. She nodded slightly.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Brother Xiao.”

Xiao Qirui heaved a sigh of relief. “You don’t have to be so polite to me. I have nothing to do anyway.”

Yuan Yuwan was stunned for a moment. When she saw the serious expression on his face, she smiled.

Madam Xiao held her forehead. The first sentence sounded reasonable, but there was no need for the second sentence.

Outside the Second Gate of the Bulwark Duke’s Residence, as soon as the carriage stopped, Uncle Yang welcomed them.

“Madam, someone from the Xuanyuan Kingdom is here.”

Madam Li was stunned and subconsciously looked at Little Jiajia, who had alighted from the carriage behind.

Little Jiajia blinked. ‘Who’s here?”

As soon as she finished asking, a young man in his twenties walked out. The young man did not even look at anyone else. He quickly took a few steps to Little Jiajia and knelt on one knee. “Princess.”

Little Jiajia’s eyes widened. “Chu Feng, why are you here?”

Chu Feng was the number one person by her father’s side. Her father had sent him out...

Little Jiajia had a bad feeling and subconsciously glanced at Song Jingchen.

As expected, Chu Feng said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, “I’m here to pick you up on His Highness’s orders..”
