Chapter 970: Chapter 970: A Visitor from the Cui Family of Chang’an (3)

Yan Junyu finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as the Commandery Princess of Chang’an was unaware of Liu Yang Village, he could always come back here to enjoy some peace and quiet if anything happens in the future, right?

He gave himself a mental thumbs-up for his cleverness. Then, Young Master Yan reclined on the lounge chair, boneless, and when he saw Cui Pingan passing by at a distance, his eyes twinkled with mischief as he said, "This fellow has stayed at the Mo Family longer than even I have. Aren’t you the least bit concerned?"

Xiao Ruiyuan followed his gaze and said coldly, "No hurry. One at a time."

Upon hearing this, Yan Junyu finally felt at ease!

During dinner, Yan Junyu announced his intention to leave.

If it had been anyone else, Mo Yan would certainly have offered some courteous words to persuade him to stay. However, knowing all too well the shamelessness of Yan Junyu, she feared that any such gestures would only encourage him to overstay. Therefore, she decisively wished him a simple "Safe travels," shattering the hopeful heart of Yan Junyu into tiny pieces.

After dinner, Mo Yan called Xiao Ruiyuan out and asked him how he had managed to persuade Yan Junyu to leave.

Xiao Ruiyuan felt it was necessary to clarify the reason why someone would hide here, reasoning that it might be useful if that person ever dared to impose on the Mo Family again. Thus, he decisively shared with Mo Yan everything he knew.

Yan Junyu came to Liu Yang Village to avoid someone, and that person was the Commandery Princess of Chang’an!

And who was the Commandery Princess of Chang’an? She was the famously domineering figure of the capital! After her father died on the battlefield and her mother followed him in death out of grief, the then-infant Commandery Princess of Chang’an was taken into the palace by the Empress Dowager and raised personally by her.

The Queen Mother was always generous and caring towards the younger generation, and she felt an extra measure of pity and guilt towards the Commandery Princess of Chang’an. Therefore, she took very good care of her, which could be described as outright spoiling her.

Under the Empress Dowager’s indulgence, the Commandery Princess of Chang’an became increasingly willful and domineering. Once she was old enough to leave the palace, she would often gallop through the streets with a large horsewhip in hand.

Her horsemanship was excellent; she never let her horse injure anyone. But there were others with poor riding skills who would charge recklessly through the streets, catching the unapproving eye of the Commandery Princess. Inevitably, she would severely whip them, and among the victims were a fair number of Young Masters from prominent families. It didn’t matter who their parents or ancestors were; they were whipped all the same.

After numerous occurrences, the reputation of the Commandery Princess of Chang’an spread far and wide in the capital, to the point where no one was unaware of her. Those who had been lashed by her secretly coined for her the nickname "Female Warlord."

Unlike Mo Yongxi’s irrational domineering behavior in the past, the Commandery Princess of Chang’an was more reasonable, punishing others only for their mistakes, albeit with violent methods that many found objectionable.

But how did that matter? Not only was she indulged by the Queen Mother, the most revered woman in the land, but even Emperor Huian was extremely fond of his niece, the Commandery Princess of Chang’an, favoring her even more than the much-beloved Princess Ruining by a margin of threefold.

Therefore, the Commandery Princess of Chang’an and Princess Ruining were at odds with each other. Whenever they met, an inevitable exchange of barbed words ensued. If either of them was in a bad mood, they wouldn’t hesitate to vent their anger on the other. Yet, whenever these disputes reached the Empress Dowager and Emperor Huian, the victory always went to the Commandery Princess of Chang’an, which only highlighted the extent of her favor.

Yan Junyu was the Queen Mother’s favorite nephew and had lived for a time in the palace during his childhood, which is how he came to know the Commandery Princess of Chang’an. But since Yan Junyu was seven years her senior, their paths seldom crossed.

However, all kids have their bearish moments, and during his troublesome phase, Yan Junyu would often bully the young Commandery Princess. Whether it was putting insects on her bed or poking her face as she slept just to wake her up and make her cry bitterly.

After the Commandery Princess of Chang’an started to remember such things, she often heard from the Queen Mother about how Yan Junyu bullied her. She took a mental note and, as she grew older, became entirely confrontational with Yan Junyu. Whenever he came to the palace to pay respect to the Queen Mother, the Commandery Princess of Chang’an would ridicule and mock him mercilessly, and whipping him had become as common as daily meals.
