“Mmm!” Su Nanxiang nodded while maintaining a straight face, her heart racing as she lied.
“I’m Dong Fangli. Thank you for saving my life.” Dong Fangli said softly. His porcelain face was so charming and attractive, and his intense eyes were like glass glistening under the rays of the sun.
Dong Fangli? Wasn’t that the seventh prince of Xi Liang? She had ‘saved’ such a famous person?
Su Nanxiang tried to hide her excitement as she she smiled politely, “It was nothing, don’t take it to heart, Prince Dong Fang.”
“Your help was a huge deal to me. If you don’t mind, please allow me to escort you back to your home as a token of gratitude,” Dong Fangli said sincerely.
“This…” Su Nanxiang hesitated, “…my house is of the Di Shi Manor in the city. Thank you,Prince Dong Fang!”
“You’re most welcome. Please-” Dong Fangli moved aside and gestured for her to go first. It was such a simple yet such a courtly move.
“Please, Prince Dong Fang.” Su Nanxiang smiled happily and walked ahead, smirking as she made her move. Dong Fangli assumed her to be his savior, so she had to cherish this opportunity and try to take advantage of this situation.
As he watched Su Nanxiang walking further ahead, Dong Fangli fell back a little and lowered his voice, “Huo Tong, was she really the one who saved me?”
He’d regained consciousness for a moment when the lady who saved him was bandaging him, but he was too weak to move a single muscle, he could not speak even though he wanted to, his eyes were shut tightly and his vision was blurry.
In the blurriness, he did not manage to get a good look at the lady’s features, but he could see her eyes and her build. He knew the lady who saved him and the lady in front of him were different.
“This…” Huo Tong raised his eyebrows and told the truth, “I did not see her saving you, but she was the only person here when I reached you.”
“Alright then,” Dong Fangli nodded while his eyes were staring ahead intently.
“Master, do you want me to check on this?” Huo Tong asked quietly.
“No need. Let’s not think about this,” Dong Fangli stated softly.
This was their first time in the city. They did not know anyone nor were they familiar with the places. In addition to that, there were spies looking for him. He had been attacked discreetly, so he could not simply boldly make his move.
Di Shi was the teacher of the Emperor. There would be guards and soldiers by the gates and doors, and those spies could not simply break in. He planned to follow the lady in front and would plan again after he reached her house.
Wu An Manor’s maids, nannies and stewards were walking around the house in the afternoon. They were all completing their own duties, however, the An Shou Hall where Madam Song Lao was seated was completely quiet.
Madam Song Lao sat on her mighty chair and took a gentle sip of her tea. She then glanced towards the young lady in front of her and stated, “it’s good that you’re back. You’ve gone through a lot these days.”
