Mu Yun'an was stunned. She looked at Xiao Chengyi blankly and said: "So, you are so kind to me, actually it is all to repay your kindness?"
If that's the case, wouldn't it be that she's being overly sentimental?
Xiao Chengyi was silent. After a while, he slowly reached out and touched her face, and said in a low voice: "It was indeed out of kindness at the beginning, but now..."
Before Xiao Chengyi could finish speaking, Mu Yunan suddenly reached out and pushed him away, interrupting him: "Brother Yi, there is no need to say anything. You said that my mother and I were kind to you, but I don't remember any of this.
Even if you are repaying your kindness, you have already repaid me. I don’t need you to do anything else for me? I just hope that you will be good in the future and don’t do stupid things for me again.”
Xiao Chengyi raised his head and looked at her, and it took him a long time to utter one word: "Okay."
Mu Yun'an turned her head away. She knelt on the futon and said in a calm voice: "Brother Yi, please go back. I want to stay by myself for a while."
Xiao Chengyi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out without saying a word.
After he left, Mu Yun'an couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry silently. Her shoulders were shaking violently, and her heart seemed to explode.
It's not that she doesn't want to listen, but that she can't listen. Once Xiao Chengyi expresses his feelings, how will she respond?
So as long as he didn't say anything, they were still brother and sister, and they could still meet and greet each other as usual, and as long as this friendship was not exposed, they would not be lost.
Xiao Chengyi didn't go far. He felt extremely painful in his heart when he saw Mu Yun'an kneeling on the futon and shaking, but he couldn't do anything.
Because the time has not come yet, but it won't be long, he will definitely not let his Yan Yan suffer like this again!
Xiao Chengyi clenched his hands, turned around and disappeared into the night.
...
Prince's Mansion.
After Yuan Qirui came back, he sent someone to inquire about Princess Nanyue, and soon the news came: "Back to Your Highness, the girl that Young Master Xiao brought back to the General's Mansion has left early this morning."
"gone?"
Yuan Qirui frowned. Didn't Shen Wanyue say that the girl was the princess of Nanyue and approached Xiao Chengyi in order to stay in the general's mansion to inquire about information? Why did she leave so quickly?
The guard added: "Yes, my subordinates found out that the girl went to the city to find her relatives, but she was separated from her brother and was almost hit by Mr. Xiao's horse.
Mr. Xiao took the girl to the government office yesterday to report to the government, and the government posted a notice to help the girl find her brother, and her brother has been found and picked up the girl this morning."
As he spoke, he took out a notice from his pocket and handed it to Yuan Qinrui: "This is the notice posted yesterday."
After reading it, Yuan Qirui's face darkened. He left the notice on the ground and said angrily: "What a Shen Wanyue. I don't know what An's intentions are for this woman. She deserves to die for daring to deceive me!"
If that girl was really the princess of Nanyue, how could she dare to go to the government and put up a notice in such a ostentatious manner to look for her brother?
Moreover, how could Shen Wanyue, a daughter of the magistrate from Tongzhou, have a portrait of Princess Nanyue?
The most important thing is that now Nanyue and Beichen are raising troops. How could Emperor Nanyue let his daughter come to Beichen's capital to inquire about some information at this time?
He was also fascinated by beauty, so he actually believed Shen Wanyue's lies. If he hadn't inquired carefully, he would have gotten mad and sent troops to besiege the general's mansion!
Yuan Qinrui was holding back a belly of anger, and his favorable impression of Shen Wanyue also dropped sharply. At this time, the housekeeper hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Yuan Qinrui's ear.
