Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 393 The Runaway Princess is Forcibly Taken Away (42)

It was late at night.

This was the third time Yuan Ji had knocked on the door to relight the lamp.

This time, instead of quietly retreating, he waited by Xia Jiechuan's desk, and in a slightly offensive manner, advised his master to cherish his health.

"Go down first..." Xia Jiechuan's voice was slightly hoarse, filled with deep weariness.

“Young master, please rest! There are countless scrolls to read during the day, why are you so concerned!” Yuan Ji still couldn’t understand why his master had to bear all the blame.

It was clearly not his fault.

But after getting on the Fourth Prince's pirate ship, even his seemingly lonely life in the past became more interesting than it is now.

None of them are easy to deal with. News came from the capital that Lord Xia had gone to the border, and Madam Xia was making a scene. Most incredibly, the eldest daughter also disappeared at this critical juncture.

The letter of accountability reached his stepbrother Xia Jiechuan, who was instructed to send people to search for them and report any whereabouts immediately.

This made things even worse for the master, who was already in a difficult position with everyone.

But the young master didn't seem to find it difficult at all.

He even went so far as to simulate and speculate on where the young lady might hide, treating it as a small respite from his busy work schedule.

Yuan Ji couldn't understand anything, inside or out.

He was very self-aware and did not delve into his master's intentions; he was simply annoyed that the other party did not take his body seriously.

"Alright, go take a break. I'll rest after I finish this volume."

"Yes."

The door closed, and Xia Jiechuan stroked the worn letter on the table, a light smile appearing on her face.

......

Bozhou,

Although there were no clues on the first night of the search, there were some successes in the following days.

Young Master Qi Xiao personally led his men to a cliff outside the city, and after extensive inquiries, they came to a terrifying conclusion.

I fear that Miss Xia intended to leave that night, but before she could go far, she was abducted by a gang that kidnaps respectable women and taken to the outskirts of the city. They were skilled and experienced, and they cleaned up the mess inside the city very thoroughly.

That's why we couldn't find the trail immediately.

Later, they were still able to find the gang's hideout by following the clues, and they got the details of what happened that night from a man who couldn't withstand the interrogation.

Miss Xia tried desperately to escape the den of wolves and tigers, but her plan was discovered, and during the chase, she lost her footing and fell off a cliff.

The robbers felt it was bad luck and never mentioned that person again.

Chunyu Xi, who plays Qi Xiao, is furious.

He plundered the bandit den in front of his messenger and subordinates, then left Qizhou with resentment and guilt. At the same time, he ordered a messenger to send the news back to the capital as quickly as possible, awaiting his brother's arrangements.

He strictly forbade his subordinates from making irresponsible remarks.

Pretending that Miss Xia was still in the group, they returned to Jiangnan first.

They traveled quickly and hurriedly, leaving only a few people to help them. Even when Miss Luo Qun insisted on going down the mountain to search for someone and refused to leave, Young Master Qi Xiao forcefully stopped her. He was all-powerful, seemingly tearing away the facade of a gentle and obedient son-in-law, wanting her to recognize who the master was.

The girl Luo Qun went from resistance to submission in just two days, much to the delight of Chunyu Huai's subordinates.

This is the true majesty and grandeur of royalty.

Previously, they knew that the Fourteenth Prince was playing the subservient grandson in front of the Luo family. Although they admired his loyalty and wisdom, these proud sons of heaven from the capital still felt uneasy and as if they had lost face. They increasingly admired the Fourth Prince and despised the Fourteenth Prince.

Suppressed for a long time,

Finally, they witnessed the moment of their outburst, and they could even endure the fatigue of the journey and Luo Qun's nitpicking.

In particular, the two often whispered to each other in the carriage, their intimacy was clearly visible.

Taming a fiery woman is a real pleasure.

Even if they only watch their master's actions, on the surface they don't care if they are trampled in the mud.

Xia Youmi understood these people's common flaws all too well, so he and Chunyu Xi staged a scene where the domineering prince pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger.

in this way,

At least it would improve his image and give him a chance to compete with his brother.

The conversation that night yielded no results.

But Xia Youmi could tell that Chunyu Xi genuinely wanted to go along with her.

The unfounded agreement and the genuine appreciation for time were both sincere.

He is not an exception in the world; rather, he is largely ignored and lacks a thorough understanding of the world around him.

Such people are too empty; once an anchor is planted in their minds, they will grow into the shape they desire.

Xia Youmi felt at that moment that this person would do anything she asked. She didn't like giving herself away without a sense of self, but she respected other people's wishes.

The two discussed what to do next.

First of all,

Having thought he had received a response, Chunyu Xi was no longer willing to push for Miss Xia to enter the Fourth Prince's residence as a princess.

Since Xia Youmi was willing to take the opportunity to erase this identity, it would certainly be better if the other party took the initiative to make arrangements.

Although the two of them did those things themselves without alerting their subordinates.

Secondly,

The wedding was off, and angering Chunyu Huai at this juncture was not a wise choice, especially since not everyone could connect Luo Qun and Xia Youmi's relationship. Moreover, many more people knew Qi Xiao's true identity.

If he were to marry into the family in Jiangnan, then the Fourteenth Prince would be meaningless.

The reputation was ruined, and a worthless person can't help Chunyu Huai.

He will be the first to be eliminated.

It is highly likely that his own elder brother was the one who did it.

When Xia Youmi analyzed Chunyu Huai's mentality with him, she didn't hold back at all, using the darkest words to describe it and speculate on the cruelest ending.

However, Chunyu Xi did not pay full attention to those things.

More than anything, there is a slight regret that they cannot get married under the name Qi Xiaoluo Qun.

That year, he almost got used to his new identity and being bossed around. Amid the noise, there was always the other party's sincere skill instruction.

Miss Xia never looked at him, but she didn't resist getting close to him.

He let his heart draw closer little by little, absorbing the warmth.

Seeing Chunyu Xi lost in thought, Xia Youmi didn't finish explaining the plan in one go.

She always has to keep some things to herself.

On their way back to Jiangnan, the two men's positions were completely reversed. To outsiders, it seemed that Chunyu Xi had won, but in reality, it was all just for fun.

They chatted without restraint, as if Xia's existence had been erased, and Luo Qun belonged to him alone.

They even learned to use their hands and feet without a teacher.

At this moment, Xia Youmi responded according to her heart.

If they're happy, they'll give them some treats; if they're annoyed, they'll slap them away.

Chunyu Xi would also cover his face and laugh.

He's practically the king of self-care; everything he does is a source of amusement.

When we returned to Zhongjiang City, it was already mid-June.

The wedding was less than twenty days away, and as expected, Chunyu Xi was summoned back to the capital the moment he arrived.

Chunyu Huai's prepared stand-in, "Qi Xiao," was already in place at the Luo residence.

If it weren't for the Luo family's insistence, this "Luo Qun" would probably have been replaced.

Then,

Before he could even enjoy the sweetness of the moment for a few days, Chunyu Xi was forced to return to the capital with a mission. Miss Xia said that as long as he could fight his way out of his brother's trap.

They possess power that cannot be erased or replaced.

So, she would go to see him once a year.

Like a magpie bridge meeting, it surpasses countless encounters in the mortal world.

How far he can go depends entirely on how much he aspires to it.

As for impersonating Qi Xiao, since he's quite capable, we'll make full use of him and keep him busy.

Luo Qun only needs to play the role of a disheartened young lady, eating and drinking while inspecting the shop.

Even if this life is fulfilled,

Even if we don't waste our time.
