Chapter 115 - 113. Let’s Run Away II (1/2)
Third person POV
After two hours of moving the chests, all of the carriages were finally emptied. Xu Tingfeng sighed when Song Tao reported that 4 storerooms were filled to the brim by chests of dower and the worse thing was some of the chests were directly sent to Hong er's quarter, like clothes and accessories. The crowds had dispersed as they had to continue their work and only leaving little kids being curious.
Since Sheng ge had died, the Sheng residence was bought by Xu Tingfeng to expand his training field as well as for the Da Qi's entourage to stay for the rest 2 weeks before they depart back to Da Qi with Hong er and her dowry. They gave their greetings to their future empress and one of their idols, Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing. Xu Tingfeng didn't know he was this popular, he smacked their back and told them to join his morning practice together with other Xu soldiers which enthusiastically accepted. They could see why Xi An's citizens love Xu family and there was no negative rumors about Xu family. Even if there was, it would fade away in a few days.
Huayun reminded Hong er of Lu Ping's lesson, Hong er turned around and before she could walk away, a maid bowed to Hong er and said that someone was looking for her at the front gate.
Hong er: ” Who is it?”
Maid: ” This servant doesn't know, Young Miss. But based on his clothes, maybe he is a noble.”
Hong er: ” En, you can go.”
Maid: ” Thank you, Young Miss. Please be careful.”
Hong er: ” En.”
(A/N: Hong er was still mourning for Sheng ge, that's why her reply and action wasn't cheerful like usual.)
Hong er glanced at the man that stood in front of the gate staring at her, he was wearing a hooded cape that was covering half of his face. Hong er scrunched her eyebrows in suspicion, she glanced at Meiyun and Huayun that were frowning too.
Hong er: ” Who do you think he is?'
Meiyun: ” I don't know but he looks familiar. Young Miss, I think it is better if you don't go.”
Hong er: ” En.”
It wouldn't be good for an unmarried girl to meet up with a man in a quiet place, especially when the girl's the bride of the neighbor country's emperor. And if the rumor of the illicit relationship reached Da Qi's emperor, he would think that Da Chu purposely tried to provoke Da Qi then it could lead to war.
Hong er turned around and told Huayun to invite the unknown man to the main hall. When Hong er was focused on the man, Meiyun glanced at Lu Ping who was standing at the side watching all the drama unveiled. Noticing her glances, he smiled slyly and unnoticeably nodded his head. Huayun approached the man and bowed her head.
Huayun: ” What can I help you with?”
The man heard Huayun's voice and noticed that it wasn't Hong er that came to him.
Long Yang: ” I am here to look for Miss Xu.”
Huayun: ' This voice! It is prince Long Yang!'
Huayun furrowed her eyebrow as her voice started to get lower. She knew that everyone in the Long royal family were dangerous, she made a few hand signals behind her back. Hong er and Meiyun saw the hand signals and instantly frowned.
Hong er & Meiyun: ' Prince Long Yang!'
Meiyun whispered to Hong er to quickly go look for Lu Ping, Hong er nodded her head and walked away to catch up to not so far away Lu Ping. Hong er called out to Lu Ping.
Hong er: ” Lu Gongzi.”
Lu Ping turned around and saw Hong er walking towards him.
Lu Ping: ” Yes, Miss Xu?”
Hong er: ” Since we have the same destination, why don't we go together?”
Lu Ping: ” Mah~ My pleasure, Miss Xu.”
Hong er bowed her head in reply and continued walking. Lu Ping looked over his shoulder and saw Meiyun gave him a few hand signals. He smirked when he knew who was the hooded cape man.
Lu Ping: ' Aiyo~ Prince Long Yang, you better run away before he kills you.' ( A/N: he= weisheng.)

Huayun: ” Can I know who you are?”
Long Yang: ” It- it doesn't matter, Miss Xu will recognize me if she sees me.”
