CHAPTER 165: INTERROGATION

After a substantial amount of time, Pei Qianhao answered in a composed voice, “And so?” Su Xi-er responded immediately, “So, may Prince Hao not take this to heart.” “Ha… Not take it to heart. You are saying things so lightly.” Pei Qianhao suddenly laughed. The cold laughter that sounded out implied at a deeper meaning. Yet, he had not the …

CHAPTER 156: SU XI-ER SHOWING OFF HER MIGHT

Widow Liu was also not a simple person to deal with. Even though those around her constantly hurled insults, she never once thought of slipping away. Instead, she glared fiercely at those who were throwing the rotten vegetables. Immediately, the people throwing vegetables stopped in fear of retaliation. Seeing that she had achieved her intended purpose, Widow Liu then shifted …

CHAPTER 157: DONE WITH TEACHING A LESSON

“Then what is it supposed to be?” Widow Liu disregarded everything else and directly lashed out at Zhang Zhuang, striking him on the head. The surrounding crowd felt as though they were watching an exciting the drama unfolding before them. “Tao-er, I didn’t say anything just now. I didn’t say anything.” “Then why did you nod? Do you think I …

CHAPTER 158: WRONG PERSON

Pei Qianhao carefully observed this and felt that the outskirts of the capital were much better than the city itself. At least the commoners here lead happy and healthy lives, and the children laugh as they play. Of course, he hadn’t seen Widow Liu’s farce on the other street. However, whenever a pedestrian saw Pei Qianhao, they couldn’t help but …

CHAPTER 159: PESTERING

If she doesn’t obediently return by herself, wait and see how I’ll punish her. The night fell slowly, and the sky gradually darkened along with the expression on Pei Qianhao’s face when Su Xi-er had still yet to appear. Is it because I didn’t punish her harshly that she is now getting too arrogant? He was soon pulled out of …

CHAPTER 160: WON’T GIVE HER AN EASY TIME

“Withdraw.” Pei Qianhao coldly said. When the manager heard this, he trembled and bowed before stepping out of the room, being sure to gingerly close the door behind him. As Pei Qianhao slowly pushed open the windows to look down on the street, only three characters appeared in his mind ー Su Xi-er. Since this is a matter of Nanzhao, …

CHAPTER 151: YUN RUOFENG GOES TO MOON COUNTY

When the carriage approached the city gate, the imperial guard on duty blocked its way with a halberd[*] and cold demanded, “With Nanzhao’s state banquet so close, all pedestrians and horse carriages that travel around need to be strictly checked. Who is sitting inside the carriage, and where are you going?” Shortly after, a long arm stretched out from inside …

CHAPTER 152: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO

In complete opposition, Pei Qianhao looked refreshed. He had forgotten all about being slapped and called a ‘little bitch’ by Su Xi-er. Even the perpetual coldness that surrounded him had been replaced by a warm and gentle aura. The imperial guard who waited outside of the flower field was dumbfounded when he noticed Pei Qianhao’s mood. What did His Highness …

CHAPTER 153: AN IMPORTANT FIGURE

At this moment, however, a shop assistant ran into the shop, his expression both excited and frightened. “Uncle Zhao, guess who is here at the Moon County? It’s an important figure you would never expect!” The shop assistant was so excited that he had completely forgotten that there were still customers in the shop. Uncle Zhao apologised to Pei Qianhao …

CHAPTER 154: HIDING FROM THIS PRINCE ON PURPOSE

Yun Ruofeng heard the laugh and felt that it was both familiar and unfamiliar. Ning Rulan’s laugh was also as clear as a silver bell, or the sound of a river. Su Xi-er caught the reminiscent look in Yun Ruofeng’s eyes. Is there anything for him to remember? She snorted to herself before hanging the flower basket on his arm. …
