Chapter 170 Yu Zhenzhen's Thoughts
Everyone turned around at the sound and saw two extremely luxurious carriages parked outside the crowd, and three people walking side by side. Each of them was elegant and noble, like gods banished to the mortal world.
Everyone was shocked by the three men's demeanor and unconsciously made way for them.
Murong Yanhui's expression also turned cold, and his already unhappy mood became even worse. Damn it, why are they here?
Murong Feng smiled brightly and stepped forward to act as a peacemaker. "Little uncle, arguing with a woman in public is somewhat disgraceful, isn't it..."
Murong Yanhui snorted coldly, and his sharp eyes swept across Murong Feng like a knife blade, "It's not your turn to interfere in my affairs!"
Murong Feng shut up awkwardly, and his gentle smile became a little stiff. Tang Yi, who was standing beside him, looked like he was enjoying the show, with a mischievous glint in his phoenix eyes.
Murong Yan looked back at Murong Feng and Tang Yi, feeling a little angry. She had originally planned to have a good stroll with Yu Qingli, but things turned out like this. She was even chased by Murong Feng and the others. Now she had to follow them again.
When Yu Zhenzhen saw Murong Feng coming, her heart skipped a beat. She looked at Murong Cheng, then at Murong Feng, and then at Murong Yanhui. Suddenly, she found that Murong Yanhui had some similarities with Murong Feng and Murong Cheng in her eyes and eyebrows.
What's going on? Could this man be someone special?
Yu Zhenzhen's heart began to beat fast, but she wore her usual gentle smile as she bowed to Murong Cheng and said, "Zhenzhen greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After Yu Zhenzhen finished speaking, she bowed to Murong Feng again and said, "Zhenzhen greets His Highness."
Murong Cheng nodded slightly, his handsome face expressionless. However, Murong Feng beside him took over the conversation and said, "Miss Yu, you are too polite. Why are you with the young uncle and the others?"
Yu Zhenzhen smiled faintly, "There was some misunderstanding, but it has been resolved."
Tang Yi, who had not spoken for a long time, looked regretful and said, "Looks like we missed a good show."
Yu Zhenzhen blushed upon hearing this, feeling a bit embarrassed. This matter was caused by the maid beside her, which made people laugh at her. She couldn't help but look at the young man who spoke with an embarrassed expression, "May I know who this is?" After saying that, she looked at Murong Yanhui with curiosity.
Murong Feng saw Yu Zhenzhen looking at Tang Yi beside her, then looked at Murong Yanhui, and said, "This is the Crown Prince of Dong Tang, and that one over there is the Prince of Yan."
Yu Zhenzhen was startled, but she still maintained her ladylike demeanor and bowed to Tang Yi. Then she looked at Murong Yan and smiled back, "So it's His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. Zhenzhen was really rude just now."
As Yu Zhenzhen spoke, she looked at Murong Yanhui with her eyes full of autumn water. She felt that although Murong Cheng was calm and measured, Murong Yanhui was more domineering. The idea that she had just suppressed in her heart inevitably sprouted again.
Yu Zhenzhen looked at Murong Yanhui's stern expression and couldn't help thinking that since Murong Yanhui was a prince, it wouldn't be a disgrace to her status as the prime minister's daughter.
Suddenly, Yu Zhenzhen's heart came alive, and she couldn't help but ask, "His Royal Highness Prince Yan is ignoring Zhenzhen. Is he still angry with Zhenzhen?"
Murong Yanhui had no choice but to reply, "If this prince were really angry, would you and that maid still be standing here peacefully?"
Yu Zhenzhen was retorted by Murong Yan. She lowered her head and bit her lips, looking extremely aggrieved.
Murong Feng couldn't help but come out to smooth things over. "Alright, alright, this is called 'no fight, no acquaintance', or like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other anymore. We are all acquaintances. Little uncle, don't take it too seriously!"
Yu Qingli's expression grew even colder upon hearing this. Family?! Judging from Murong Feng's tone, could this Yu Zhenzhen really be related to Yu Zhengsha?
Murong Yanhui snorted coldly, "I don't know if you and she are family, but she and I are not."
After Murong Yanhui finished speaking, seeing that Yu Zhenzhen's face had turned even paler, Murong Feng couldn't help but say, "Zhenzhen, don't take it to heart. The young emperor's temper is well-known in the capital, but he never has any bad intentions."
Murong Feng's comfort made Yu Zhenzhen feel a lot more comfortable, and she nodded to Murong Feng gratefully.
Seeing that they were talking happily, Murong Yan pulled Yu Qingli and wanted to escape again, but Yu Qingli refused to leave. She smiled and said, "This Miss Yu is extremely beautiful. Could she be one of the candidates for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's concubine?"
Yu Zhenzhen's cheeks suddenly turned red. She glanced at Murong Cheng sideways, then lowered her head shyly.
Murong Cheng's eyes turned cold, but he remained silent. However, Murong Feng beside him was a little unhappy. Even if it was the palace maid brought by the young uncle, she was just a servant after all. When did she get the right to meddle in the affairs of her masters?!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Why? Do you feel unworthy?"
Yu Qingli felt cold in her heart, but she smiled calmly on her face: "Match, of course they are a match made in heaven. The daughter of the Prime Minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are a perfect match."
After Yu Qingli finished speaking, she asked, "I just don't know how to address Miss Yu and Prime Minister Yu Zhengsha?"
Before Yu Zhenzhen could answer, Murong Yanhui impatiently pulled Yu Qingli and said, "What do you care about their relationship? Come on, come on, come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Murong Yanhui was just wondering why Yu Qingli cared so much about her sister. She never thought that a gentleman like Yu Zhengsha would hide the fact that his family had married and had children in the capital. Therefore, she did not take this matter to heart. She was only thinking about how to get rid of Murong Feng and his group so that she could be alone with Yu Qingli.
Seeing Murong Feng and Murong Cheng looking at her with confusion, Yu Qingli knew that she could not continue asking questions about today's matter. She had to suppress her doubts and let Murong Yanhui drag her away.
Murong Cheng suddenly blocked Murong Yan's way back, his expression as cold as ever, "Young uncle, are you trying to evade responsibility again?!"
Although the words were harsh, Murong Yanhui could hear the hidden meaning. He was reminding himself not to forget the emperor's decree. He was ordered to accompany Tang Yi on the tour. If he escaped halfway and was caught, and then accused of disobeying the emperor's order, wouldn't that be more trouble than it was?!
Although Murong Yanhui was grateful in his heart, his face was cold. He snorted coldly without losing any arrogance, and stood there very reluctantly.
Seeing this, Murong Feng smiled at Yu Zhenzhen and said, "It's better to meet by chance than to be invited. Zhenzhen, if you have nothing to do, how about joining us on this trip? Having a talented woman like you by your side will definitely add a lot of color to this trip."
Yu Zhenzhen bowed shyly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Unfortunately, my father has booked a family reunion dinner at Spring Breeze Tower tonight, and I dare not miss it and break my promise to my elders. Besides, I have other things to do, so I'm sorry to bother him."
Murong Feng nodded upon hearing this and said, "Although it's a pity, I really can't break the promise made by our elders. Let's do it another day."
Yu Zhenzhen nodded, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."
"Hey, there's no need to be so polite between you and me." Murong Feng said with a smile and personally reached out to help Yu Zhenzhen up. He really admired this future sister-in-law!
Yu Zhenzhen was filled with joy. She secretly glanced at Murong Cheng who was standing silently aside, then looked at Murong Yanhui. Her heart was pounding and she felt extremely happy.
The Crown Prince was cold and aloof, while the Prince of Yan was extremely domineering, which really made it difficult for her to make a decision.
Yu Zhenzhen's mind was full of her shy thoughts, but Yu Qingli became more and more suspicious. Looking at how familiar Murong Feng and Murong Cheng were with Yu Zhenzhen, she knew that Yu Zhenzhen's identity was probably true.
An inexplicable anger rose in my heart. Yu Zhengsha is really a good father.
Yu Qingli couldn't help but let a sneer appear on the corner of her lips. Seeing this, Murong Yanhui looked at Yu Zhenzhen and others in surprise, then looked at Yu Qingli. In the blink of an eye, Yu Qingli's expression returned to its original state.
Murong Yanhui narrowed his eyes. At that moment, he thought he had seen it wrong, and vaguely felt that Yu Qingli was hiding something from him. It seemed that he had to interrogate her thoroughly after returning to the palace.
"In that case, Zhenzhen will take her leave first." Yu Zhenzhen bowed to everyone, held the hand of the maid and sat in the sedan chair.
Yu Qingli's heart moved. She thought, didn't Yu Zhenzhen say that she was going to Chunfenglou for a family dinner? If it was a family dinner, naturally everyone in the family would be there. Why didn't Yu Zhengsha invite her?
The more Yu Qingli thought about it, the more restless she became. She felt that she needed to go with Yu Zhenzhen, otherwise she would be kept in the dark.
Yu Qingli thought to herself, and glanced at Murong Yanhui who had been following her like a leech. Suddenly, she covered her stomach with both hands and shouted, "Ouch, my stomach hurts so much, I need to go to the toilet."
The shopkeeper of The Story of the Stone, seeing a catastrophe averted, and having made a killing selling a jade hand warmer to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, hurriedly flattered him, saying, "We have some in our shop. If you don't mind..."
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to finish speaking, Yu Qingli knocked him to the ground with her shoulder, and then rushed to the back hall of the store like the wind.
Murong Yanhui knew that this must be Yu Qingli's excuse. She immediately raised her peach blossom eyes and moved to Yu Qingli's side. "What a coincidence! I seem to be feeling unwell too. How about we go together?"
Yu Qingli was secretly anxious, frowning slightly. This man was really hard to get rid of! She immediately pretended to be embarrassed and anxious, "Your Highness, are you trying to embarrass me? In front of so many people..."
Yu Qingli wanted to say something but stopped herself, her eyes sweeping over the royal nobles behind Murong Yan who turned around, and finally stopped on Murong Feng. She hoped that he would not let her down!
As expected, Murong Feng suppressed his laughter and looked towards the inner hall and said, "I wonder what it was about this maid that caught the young uncle's eye that made him so devoted to her. But don't worry, young uncle. There's no back door to this inner hall. Could she have dug a tunnel and escaped?"
Murong Yanhui snorted coldly. How could he, an outsider, report what happened between him and Lili?
However, Murong Cheng's words reminded Murong Yanhui. He smiled faintly, jumped onto the roof, and then jumped again and landed on the back wall of the toilet.
The stench was indeed very strong. Murong Yanhui wrinkled his nose, lifted a tile, and glanced inside with a sharp gaze. Sure enough, he saw Yu Qingli struggling to pry up the wooden boards of the toilet.
Humph! Murong Yanhui snorted in his heart, you little brat, you want to escape again! Murong Yanhui squatted quietly on the wall.
Yu Qingli used all her strength to finally pry open all the wooden boards of the toilet, and then walked out along the narrow and somewhat dirty sewage channel. She was very careful, throwing a stone as a stepping stone with every step. Although she was scared along the way, she was still relatively safe.
Just as Yu Qingli was about to take the last step, a familiar teasing voice suddenly came from the wall, "Lili, do you need me to help you?"
"Ah!" Yu Qingli was so frightened that her heart and soul trembled. Her feet slipped and she was about to fall into the pit. Suddenly, Yu Qingli's eyes blurred and her waist was lifted up by a strong force. Then she heard a breeze. When she opened her eyes again, she had fallen into Murong Yanhui's arms and was on the top of the wall.
Murong Yan hugged Yu Qingli back and couldn't help laughing at her dazed, dazed expression. He then lowered his head and sniffed Yu Qingli, frowning and saying, "Next time you want to sneak out, don't choose a toilet with such a bad location. You see how dangerous it was just now. If you fall into the pit, it will be very difficult to deal with. I heard that if you fall into the pit, you will never be able to wash yourself clean for the rest of your life, and you will stink of shit everywhere you go!"
