Xue An said indifferently, "Of course, I can take action on the spot, even killing Luo Rongjin would be no challenge. But don’t forget why I’ve come here. If we startle the snake by hitting the grass prematurely and reveal our identity, how can this game continue?"
Mu Wushuang suddenly understood and nodded solemnly, "I understand, indeed, you have a farsighted view, my lord."
Xue An smiled gently, then turned to glance at the towering White Jade Tower, and said softly, "After all these years, the little yellow-haired girl has blossomed into such a beauty!"
"My lord, what did you say?"
"Oh, it’s nothing, let’s go! Back to the post house!"
With that, Xue An looked at the gluttonous young boy, "Do you have anywhere to go?"
The boy shook his head firmly and said, "No."
"Then come back with me for now."
"Is there food?"
"Plenty."
"Okay!" The boy answered without hesitation.
Mu Wushuang was stunned listening to the conversation between the two, really not understanding why Xue An valued this unknown boy so much.
But Xue An seemed to appreciate the boy, laughing as he said, "Do you trust me that much? Aren’t you afraid I’ll sell you off?"
The boy shook his head calmly, "Not afraid. Anyway, I have no money for food now. Whoever feeds me, I’ll follow."
Finally, Mu Wushuang couldn’t help but ask, "Is food that important to you?"
The boy’s eyes burned with passion as he nodded earnestly, "Of course, to me, if there’s only one thing in the world that must not be betrayed, it is gastronomy."
"So even with no money, you must eat, even if it means getting beaten?"
"What’s the problem with that?" the boy retorted.
Mu Wushuang: "..."
The boy continued, "I ate someone’s food without paying, letting them hit me a few times to vent is only fair. After all, the food’s already in my stomach, they can’t pull it out."
Xue An couldn’t help but laugh, "With such an obsession with eating, you are indeed a talent!"
"Thank you for the compliment. My philosophy is that every meal must be treated well. After all, if one doesn’t even want to eat, what’s the point of living?"
"I suddenly feel that you and a friend of mine would get along well."
"Does he like to eat too?"
"No, he also likes to say all kinds of seemingly reasonable nonsense."
As the Yan Light Array in the sky of The Purple Microcosm City began to emit the faintest white light, the feast in the White Jade Tower gradually dispersed.
Gong Yunjun staggered back to her boudoir and then lay on the bed, full of drunkenness.
The maid hurriedly stepped forward, intending to help her undress. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
But Gong Yunjun waved her hand, "Don’t touch me just yet, let me lie down for a while."
The maid pulled back her hand, looking at Gong Yunjun with eyes full of heartache.
"Miss, how much did you drink last night?"
Gong Yunjun smirked bitterly, "No way around it, that Luo Rongjin kept pestering, even wanting to take me away. To escape, I had to hide behind the wine."
"Hmph! That Luo Rongjin is really something, seems gentle and elegant on the surface, but is just a big lecher. Even Teng Hongbo didn’t step in to stop him, it’s infuriating."
Gong Yunjun closed her eyes and sighed softly, "Teng Hongbo, how could he dare offend someone like Luo Rongjin, a distinguished prodigy! Xi’Er."
"Hmm?"
"Prepare the carriage and horses."
"What are you going to do?" Xi’Er was somewhat stupefied.
Gong Yunjun suddenly opened her eyes, "I need to meet someone."
Xi’Er wanted to persuade Gong Yunjun to rest, but seeing the determination in her eyes, she couldn’t help but close her mouth.
"Husband, it seems a lady is here to see you."
Xue An opened the invitation casually, and sure enough, neat, beautiful characters were written inside.
Gong Yunjun requests an audience.
Mu Wushuang also saw this and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, "Gong Yunjun? What’s the White Jade Tower’s leading lady doing seeing my lord?"
Realizing her slip, she quickly covered her mouth.
An Yan, however, did not react as expected. On the contrary, she seemed curious and said, "Leading lady? Is she someone you knew before?"
Xue An paused for a moment and then said softly, "We might have had a passing encounter, but she probably hasn’t seen through my disguise."
An Yan nodded, "Then you should go see her, see what she wants with you."
"Alright!"
With that, Xue An turned and walked out.
Mu Wushuang watched him leave, dumbfounded, then looked at An Yan, who seemed unruffled, and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
What is this?
The wife letting her husband go see a leading lady whom he might have known?
Meanwhile, Xue An reached the outside of the guesthouse.
Xi’Er stood by the carriage, speaking softly, "Sir, my lady is waiting for you inside the carriage. Please get in for a chat."
Xue An did not hesitate and climbed directly onto the carriage.
Once he lifted the carriage curtain and walked in, the first sight was Gong Yunjun, dressed lightly and reclining on a soft cushion.
And the entire carriage was filled with a fragrance that could make one’s heart race.
As Xue An entered, Gong Yunjun suddenly looked up, her eyes glistening with tears as she said, "Sir, is it really you?"
