As the night deepened, Ouyang Shaochen came before the Marquis Mansion holding Murong Xue in his arm. The two exquisite red lanterns on both sides of the gate were shining with warm light.

Ouyang Shaochen darkened his eyes and then said lightly, “Old Prince Jing has got an old disease. Shouldn’t you pay him a visit?”

Murong Xue nodded, “Of course. I’m going tomorrow morning, and I can take the betrothal gifts and all the other festival gifts with me, to cancel the engagement…”

Since the Old Prince Jing had come back, she should do it at the fastest speed, in case of any incoming troubles.

A slice of unnoticeable smile flashed on Ouyang Shaochen’s face but was gone instantly. He said in a low voice, “But it seems that Old Prince Jing doesn’t agree…”

Murong Xue hummed, “I don’t want to be Ye Yichen’s concubine, or die in his hands without knowing why. So whether he agrees or not, I will do it…”

Looking at her firm eyes, Ouyang Shaochen curled his lips with a graceful radian, saying with a flat tone, “Do you need my help?”

“No, thanks. This is between me and Ye Yichen. You should stay out of it. Murong Xue smiled at him gently.

She said in her heart, “Ouyang Shaochen is Lord Freedom’s heir, an outsider. It’s not justified to take him to Prince Jing Mansion with her. And if the Old Prince Jing thinks that she doesn’t show the courtesy and is hard on her, it’d only make things more complicated…”

“Then I’ll wait for your news in the mansion.” Said Ouyang Shaochen lightly, with kind of unspoken expression flashed in his eyes.

“OK!” Murong Xue nodded: The spies of Lord Freedom were almost everywhere in the capital. So if she successfully cancelled the engagement, he would know soon.

Looking at her worn out expression, Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, “It’s late. You should go back to rest. There’re a lot of things to do tomorrow.”

“Hm! Good night!” Murong Xue said gently, and then turned around and walked into the mansion noiselessly.

Until she disappeared at the end of the road, Ouyang Shaochen turned around gracefully and went back to Lord of Freedom Mansion.

Light steps were heard behind. Someone was following him. Ouyang Shaochen pretended he didn’t know, and walked in big strides. After a few turns, he arrived at the mansion of Lord of Freedom.

The guard stopped him, “Sir, this is Lord of Freedom’s Mansion. No outsider is allowed in.”

“Our lord is your prince’s friend. He isn’t an outsider.” Huo Tong argued. Ouyang Shaochen raised his eyebrows, and then turned to the Dongfang Li and his servant at the door, “Dongfang Li, it’s already late. What are you doing here instead of checking in a hotel or an inn?”

“Of course I’m here to put up for the night.” Dongfang Li said lightly. Murong Xue was a woman, so it was inconvenient to go back with her. He could only live next door to her. Although it was only separated by a wall, it was not so good to watch the show.

Ouyang Shaochen liked Murong Xue. So it was quite likely that he would step in Murong Xue and Ye Yichen’s engagement stuff. And if he stayed with Ouyan Shaochen, he’d definitely watch the scene of bustle.

Ouyang Shaochen looked at him and said with a cold voice, “This is not a hotel. You should check in an inn.”
