Ch 112: He Waits Downstairs

Xiaozhao never imagined this situation. The master he had loyally served for many years was actually infatuated with a married woman!

He was in inner turmoil, but he still thought ahead for Prince Xian, considering how to solve this predicament.

As long as it was something Prince Xian wanted to do, he would go through fire and water!

“No sleep. We have to travel early in the morning.”

Dai Yixian replied. After having some supper, he slightly closed his eyes, spending the night awake.

Xiaozhao, “……”

It must be Madam Guo who needs to travel, right?

“Young Master, may I venture to ask, what is the purpose of this trip…?” What are you doing?

Xiaozhao had a guess, but he still wanted to see what Prince Xian would say.

Unbeknownst to him, he received a cold glance from Dai Yixian!

“This servant is too talkative!”

Xiaozhao slapped his own face and lowered his head without a word.

Just follow, why ask so many questions?

Who can know the whereabouts of Prince Xian?

In order to know Madam’s travel itinerary, Prince Xian chose to stay in a middle room on the second floor!

But he paid the price of an upper room… The shopkeeper must be laughing to death.

The sky was just starting to lighten.

The rooster raised in the back courtyard of the waystation crowed.

Yuan Xueyue had also washed up early and was ready to go downstairs for some morning porridge before continuing her journey!

She wore her hair up, looking dignified and elegant.

Her expression was calm, her skin was like congealed fat, and there was not a trace of what a married woman should look like in her eyes!

Her hand movements were gentle, and her steps down the stairs were slow and graceful.

She was accompanied by the maid Cuiping, and behind her were a guard and a servant!

Unexpectedly, at this moment of going downstairs.

Her eyes glanced slightly, and she saw a man sitting on the first floor, his appearance and demeanor very noble, and their eyes met!

In an instant, it was as if they were in a different world.

She came from upstairs, and he had been waiting downstairs for a long time.

Obviously, the other party did not have the airs of an entourage, which made Yuan Xueyue wonder!

If she wasn’t mistaken, that was… Prince Xian?

Why was he traveling so low-key?

His clothes were very simple, dressed like a guard, but his face was handsome, and his features were exquisitely perfect!

In a hurried glance, she retracted her gaze, only because the waystation page and others didn’t pay attention, perhaps she had mistaken him for someone else.

As a married woman, she didn’t need to wear a veil hat to hide, but it was difficult to conceal her exceptional beauty, attracting the gazes of many guests on the first floor.

Dai Yixian, “……”

He waved his hand, and seven or eight guards immediately came and stood in front of the guests who were looking at Yuan Xueyue!

The guards held their swords and had cold expressions.

The guest’s hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and the chopsticks fell!

“Sir, do you need something?”

Several tables of guests asked in surprise.

The guards were silent, firmly blocking their view.

The waystation shopkeeper, who was watching, was so scared that his legs went weak, “……”

Hurry up and leave, I can’t serve them anymore!

How can you scare the guests like this?

Fortunately, the guests were mentally strong enough. After all, they were at the foot of the Capital City, not too far away, and there wouldn’t be any barbaric killings.

They found themselves uninterested and continued to eat with their heads down.

Yuan Xueyue actually noticed the commotion here, but it was not appropriate to make a scene!

Cuiping didn’t dare to speak either, after all, they didn’t bring many people!

After a while, Yuan Xueyue finished eating, stood up, and said gently, “Let’s go.”

Cuiping nodded and called for them to follow, ready to set off!

In the waystation fence, the carriage driver had also eaten, rubbed his eyes, and continued to prepare for the journey.

But in a blink of an eye, after watching Madam get on the carriage, the next second, a tall and handsome man approached from behind!

He thought he was going to do something, but he just watched them go!

The carriage driver was puzzled.

Especially behind that man, there were a dozen guards, all with swords and stern expressions!

So scary!

Xiaozhao had just been looking for delicious food in the waystation’s back kitchen for Prince Xian to enjoy on the road, and when he came out, he saw Madam’s carriage had left!

“Young Master?” Xiaozhao stepped forward and was about to ask.

Dai Yixian ordered,

“You chase after them first.”

◈◈◈

Then, he would make his appearance, pretending to be passing by. His identity was exposed, so he needed to be careful!

He didn’t want his prominent relationship to affect her future life.

He just wanted to watch her from afar and escort her away.

Watching her safely return to Lucheng was enough.

As for the rest, he didn’t know what to hope for…

Xiaozhao immediately understood the reason, mounted his horse, and galloped away!

He casually put the delicious food in the hands of a guard.

The guard held a large bag of dry cakes and steamed buns… in silence.

Wait, what did Lord Xiaozhao come here for?

The guards and Dai Yixian followed behind, quietly tailing them!

Inside the carriage.

Cuiping said in surprise, “Madam, that man in the waystation just now… seemed to be…!”

Yuan Xueyue glanced at her, her eyes showing understanding.

Yuan Xueyue said, “So what if it is? Prince Xian is traveling light, we should not disturb him.”

This trip was to return to her old home in Lucheng to see her father!

According to Old Madam Nian and the General, she was going back to her maiden home to visit her relatives!

In fact, as Guo Liangxian said, he knew what she wanted to do, but he would never let go!

Yuan Xueyue could only give it a try.

Cuiping lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said,

“The General is really something, actually not accompanying you on this journey. It’s such a long and arduous journey, isn’t he worried?”

Yuan Xueyue smiled, “It’s better if he doesn’t accompany me. Why bother with such a fake husband?”

Cuiping frowned and said, “Madam, are you really going to…” ask for a divorce this time?

Cuiping was worried that Master Yuan would blame them, after all, it was Master Yuan who insisted that Miss marry Little General Guo!

Now they had a residence in the Capital City, a manor, and prestige, why divorce?

Cuiping couldn’t understand.

“Yes, Cuiping, I have made up my mind. From now on, you must help me weigh everything. After this trip, we will go against the Guo family.” Yuan Xueyue said seriously.

“This servant will obey you.” Cuiping said sincerely.

Yuan Xueyue smiled, reached out and stroked Cuiping’s head, “Good girl.”

Cuiping was only a few years younger than her, over eighteen years old, and could also get married.

But as a maid, she still needed to wait a few more years.

The carriage bumped.

The road was still bumpy.

Gradually moving away from the Capital City, not entering counties, the main roads were relatively rough and dusty, but fortunately, there was no rain.

They were in a hurry, but the carriage couldn’t go fast, so they could only stop at the nearest waystation when it got dark.

Night roads were more dangerous, and even though they were from General Guo’s residence, they were extra cautious.

They traveled for more than ten miles, approaching noon.

There was a horse approaching from behind. The accompanying guard noticed something strange. Why was he always following?

But the sharp-eyed guard seemed to recognize Xiaozhao, but traveling outside, he didn’t dare to greet him easily.

What if it wasn’t him?

The other party didn’t have any airs either, riding a horse, traveling alone.

The guard informed Madam in the carriage, and Yuan Xueyue replied,

“Ignore him, let’s go first.”

As long as the other party didn’t react, she didn’t need to greet him first.

Presumably, the people of Prince Xian’s Residence wouldn’t be so petty as to blame her, right?

Xiaozhao followed for a while, and when they were a hundred miles out of the Capital City, he whipped his horse and caught up with the carriage!

“Distinguished guests, please wait!”

Yuan Xueyue was startled. What did Lord mean by stopping the carriage?

The carriage driver let out a “whoa” and stopped the swaying carriage, looking back, he saw a stranger, but he was also very handsome!
