Chapter 429 - How can there be a perfect ending if I don't marry you? (2)

”Sir Taxue,” Ji Man blankly called out to stop him, ”Are they talking about Marquis Moyu's heir?”

Taxue stopped walking, glanced at her, and said, ”Miss, if you're worried, you can go back and ask His Majesty. But, if you delay your departure, you won't be able to leave the palace.”

Ji Man furrowed her brow. She looked at the sky to check the time. From their current location, they would be able to get to the palace's gate before it was locked up for the night. But, if she went back... if she went back, she wouldn't be able to leave here.

She thought it over. Haohao was Marquis Moyu's heir. Even if Zhao Zhe had lost his mind, he wouldn't take Marquis Moyu's heir unless he wanted to force him to rebel against him.

Gritting her teeth, Ji Man said, ”Sir Taxue, please bring me out of the palace.”

Taxue deeply looked at her, but he didn't say anything else afterwards. He brought her to the palace's gate.

Ning Yuxuan was waiting at the palace's gate for her. Seeing her coming out, he finally relaxed. He put the token for entering the palace that he had been tightly gripping into his sleeve.

”I thought you were going to temporarily be unable to leave the palace.” He was smiling as he looked at her. ”I told you to wait for me, but it ended up being me waiting for you.”

Ji Man ran to his side. Her face was a bit pale. She didn't have time to crack a joke. She resolutely asked, ”Where's Haohao?”

”He's probably at home.” Ning Yuxuan furrowed his brow. ”When I was recently at home before, Guibai took him out to play. That little brat, he's been so mischievously lately. Let's go, I'll bring you to see him. You haven't seen him in your current appearance before.”

Stretching his hand out to pull Ji Man onto the horse, Ning Yuxuan was in a pretty good mood. ”Let's go home.”

Ji Man was sitting in his arms and sideways on the horse. There was a double saddle on this horse, so it was much more comfortable.

The horse frantically galloped all the way to the marquis's estate. From a distance, they could see several people standing outside by the entrance. Ji Man was initially thinking that she was being treated with great respect. Such a large group of people was waiting out here to welcome her back.

However, once they got to entrance, she found out the steward and the group of servants that he was leading had just come back from searching the streets.

”My lord, Guibai and the young heir haven't returned yet.” Steward Qian was frowning as he said, ”It's already dark outside. Even if the young heir loves to play, Guibai isn't someone that would act so irresponsibly!”

Ning Yuxuan's expression sunk. Ji Man jumped down from the horse in panic. Looking at them, she asked, ”Have you searched the entire capital?”

Riding back on his horse, Nie Qingyun returned from searching and answered her, ”We asked everyone in the nearby vicinity. Everyone said that they hadn't seen them.” His head was dripping with sweat.

Ji Man lowered her eyes.

Nie Qingyun didn't understand why his younger sister looked so upset. After all, it was only the marquis's heir that was missing. It wasn't as if Haohao was her own child.
