C17 (2/2)

This was probably fate. If he couldn't fight for his life, then he could only accept it quietly.

Originally, Jiang Wanyan thought that they would encounter an ambush on their way back to the capital, so she anxiously stared at the pitch black scenery outside the curtains. The horse carriage sped on, and the trees on both sides of the road blurred into a line.

They didn't expect that they would be completely unharmed on their way back to the capital. However, they were no longer in the good mood they had been in this morning.

When Su Mulang just returned to the capital, he already encountered such a thing.

”We can't enter the palace now. Second brother, Jiayue should follow you.” Su Mu Qing could not stand Cheng Jiayue's disturbance, so he handed the boat along with the water.

Jiang Wan Yan was still waiting for Cheng Jiayue to jump up and say that she wanted to go to the Duke Palaces. She didn't expect the little girl to lower her head and mutter that under her breath, she pulled on Su Mulang's sleeve: ”Xiao Langzi, I'm hungry.”

This time, he did not cause a ruckus and wanted to leave with Su Mu Qing. It was a rare event.

The four then went their separate ways, agreeing to contact and share the information as soon as they found any clues.

The Revered King Palace and the King Duan's Mansion were not in the same direction, and could not go the same way. Cheng Jiayue did not know what happened, but she still forcefully pulled Su Mulang and walked away.

”Why isn't she bothering you anymore? How did you offend her? ” Jiang Wanyan cast a glance at Su Mu Qing.

Su Mu Qing frowned as he thought about it. The only person he could be considered to have offended was probably the person who had abandoned her at the Pure Cliff Village, right?

However, he had also predicted that Cheng Jiayue would not dare to act alone with her temper.

The night market was bustling at night. It was a peaceful and joyous scene, and no one knew that a small village called Qingya Village had been massacred in the outskirts of the city. As they travelled through such a busy market, Jiang Wan Yan sighed with emotion: ”Outside of the city, the disparity between the two is so great.”

Su Mu Qing knew that she said it so he didn't want to think about it again. He pointed to a stall and asked, ”Are you hungry? Would you like some snacks? ”

Su Mu Qing's popularity was great, and Jiang Wan Yan had long experienced this. However, she never expected her heart to be this big, and he wasn't afraid of dragging her to eat some snacks.

Su Mu Qing, however, misunderstood Jiang Wan Yan's intentions. He walked along the path he bought the snacks and held them out to her: ”Try this, Jiayue likes this, your family probably likes it. Also, take this.”

”Aren't you afraid of being targeted for showing off like this?” Jiang Wanyan couldn't stand Su Mu Qing continuously stuffing things into her mouth, so she twisted her body to the side and nudged him.

Not even three seconds had passed, yet he continued to wink at her, moving closer to her ear. Jiang Wanyan was stunned for a moment, and her ears immediately turned red. She subconsciously tried to dodge, but was stopped by Su Muqing: ”Don't move.”

His voice was serious and didn't sound frivolous at all. Jiang Wanyan's body stiffened as she braced herself. If Su Mu Qing dared to dupe her, she would definitely spank him.

Su Mu Qing lowered his voice and whispered, ”Qing Yi is nearby. If we show off like this, we might be able to catch the 'mouse' in the dark.”
