Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Classic Scene, The Drama of Abducting the Maiden

Yan Wanqing had recently been experiencing quite significant physical reactions, and to avoid the Crown Prince noticing, she had been going to bed early every evening.

This directly avoided the times when they were both awake and face-to-face.

However, according to Huai Yu’s description, having a child made her much more delicate than usual, and she couldn’t stand even the slightest grievance.

The two of them planned to visit Sun’s family in the next few days to finalize the marriage soon. Once she was in the wedding palanquin, no matter how shameless the Crown Prince was, he surely wouldn’t snatch the bride in the street.

Even if he wanted to, the court officials supporting him would not agree.

Huai Yu listened to Yan Wanqing’s plan, feeling quite helpless.

She so wanted to stay away from the Crown Prince, yet he visited even more diligently than he attended the court, making their relationship truly incomprehensible.

It was pitiful for her; these days, whenever she went out, she would bump into the seventh prince every three to five days, and every encounter led to some trouble.

Since Xiao Hongshen’s failed marriage proposal, when he discovered she had beaten him to it, he constantly sabotaged her, and Huai Yu, constrained by her status, suffered greatly.

Today, Yan Wanqing insisted on going out with her to a tea house to drink tea and watch a play, leaving Huai Yu no choice but to bring along several extra attendants.

While enjoying the performance, a commotion arose from below the tea house.

Yan Wanqing was so engrossed she didn’t notice, but Huai Yu, sitting by the window, tilted her head and looked down.

She saw a young noble causing a disturbance in the marketplace.

"Esteemed young master! I only have this one daughter, please show mercy and let her go!"

An aged woman was kicked to the ground by servants, while the young woman, whose beauty couldn’t be obscured despite her simple dress, was forcibly held in the noble’s arms, crying bitterly and calling out to her aged mother.

"It’s her fortune that this young master fancies her, you ignorant old fool." The noble then pulled out a bag of money and threw it on the ground, attempting to carry the young woman away.

The old woman, finding strength from somewhere, broke free from the servants and clung to the noble’s leg, refusing to let him leave, which only resulted in harsher beating.

"What are you looking at? You’re not even listening to the play anymore," Yan Wanqing moved closer to look.

Huai Yu, supporting her chin said, "A classic scene, forcibly abducting a maiden from the folk."

Yan Wanqing clicked her tongue, "Aren’t you going down to play the hero and save the damsel? Yet you’re still in the mood to watch a play here; you are indeed cold-hearted."

Huai Yu couldn’t help but roll her eyes, inwardly cursing the woman for holding grudges; she couldn’t stand a single loss. After being called cold-hearted last time, she had to take the chance to get back at her.

"I’m not going; look at my slender arms and legs. Those servants are all strong and robust. Who knows who might end up needing rescuing?" Huai Yu was completely resistant.

Yan Wanqing hummed lightly, then moved to the other side of the table, poking her head out to look.

Upon looking, it was unbelievable; wasn’t that Sun Wenxing who had just been retrieved by the General Residence a few days ago? It had only been a few days, and he was already causing trouble again.

Being banned from Fireworks Lane, he went out to abduct a village girl instead.

A trace of disgust flickered in Yan Wanqing’s eyes. Such a noble household as the General Residence, filled with heroes and noble characters, yet it had produced the likes of Sun Wenxing.

It was like a rat dropping spoiling the entire soup pot.

If this man was not eliminated soon, someone would eventually use him as an excuse to implicate the entire General Residence.

With this thought, Yan Wanqing grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it down; the teapot exploded at the foot of Sun Wenxing, startling him so much that he hurriedly put down the woman on his shoulder and looked up to curse at the window of the tea house.

"Who had the courage of the Bear and Leopard to dare throw a teapot at this young master!"

Sun Wenxing looked up and met Yan Wanqing’s mocking eyes; he was stunned, "Cousin!"

Yan Wanqing stretched out a delicate finger and hooked it at Sun Wenxing from the second floor of the tea house.

Sun Wenxing immediately scurried over.

"Cousin, why have you come out to play today? It’s usually as hard as climbing to heaven to catch a glimpse of you," he said obsequiously, looking at Yan Wanqing.

Yan Wanqing felt disgusted by his gaze. If it weren’t for her good relationship with her cousins, she really wouldn’t have wanted to intervene in this matter.

"Are you missing the food at Dali Temple so much that you dare to abduct a civilian girl in broad daylight?"

Yan Wanqing sneered.

She usually didn’t deal with Sun Wenxing, but in his eyes, Yan Wanqing was like the moon in a well and a flower in the water, his goddess. Hence, even her sneer seemed alluring to him.

Sun Wenxing was almost melted away, "Cousin, are you concerned about me? I’m truly touched, but it’s not that I was abducting a girl. She wanted to sell herself to bury her father, I gave her money, but she didn’t want to leave with me. How could I bear such humiliation—"

"So you had her and her daughter beaten?" mocked Huai Yu from the side.

Only then did Sun Wenxing notice the man sitting with Yan Wanqing. He frowned, "And who might you be?"

"The Young Marquis from the Northern Border," Yan Wanqing spoke up for Huai Yu.

Sun Wenxing looked at Huai Yu warily several times, "Is he that Huai Yu from the Northern Border Marquis Residence?"

"Guaranteed genuine," Huai Yu said with a challenging demeanor.

Sun Wenxing sneered, leaned toward Yan Wanqing, and said, "Cousin, you don’t go out much and don’t know the dangers outside. Some men are only handsome but utterly useless. Don’t be fooled by such people."

Huai Yu, "Young Master, who are you insinuating at? The Marquis is still sitting right here."

Sun Wenxing awkwardly touched his nose and continued softly, "Cousin, as long as you understand what I mean."

Yan Wanqing looked at Huai Yu, annoyance flickering in her eyes, but it quickly faded.

"And the mother and daughter?" she asked.

In just a blink, the mother and daughter who had been rolling on the ground had vanished from the street.

Sun Wenxing ran to the window, looked out, and thundered, "Where are they?! I’ve paid my money; why are they gone? I even planned to take them back to be maids, just throwing my money away!"

Angered, Sun Wenxing took out his frustration on an unfortunate servant.

Watching Sun Wenxing throw a fit, Yan Wanqing lazily sipped her jujube tea. The warm, slightly sweet hot tea smoothly slid down her throat, making her let out a comfortable sigh.

"What do you make of this situation?"

Huai Yu, eating dry fruits, responded, "It’s quite obvious, isn’t it? It’s a trap aimed at him. Today it’s ’sell oneself to bury the mother,’ tomorrow it might be ’to bury the father,’ sooner or later, that fool will fall into it."

Yan Wanqing continued to sip her hot tea in small sips, already agreeing with Huai Yu’s words.

If it hadn’t been for her intervention just now, Sun Wenxing might have been close to death at this moment.

She vaguely sensed the scent of revenge, but it wasn’t very strong.

Too bad, the methods were too crude, transparent at first glance.

It needed more nurturing indeed.

Yan Wanqing swirled the jujubes in her teacup, enjoying the fresh air from outside.

Just then, a foot nudged hers under the table.

She was just about to get angry when she saw Huai Yu gesturing towards the floor below.

"Look, who is that?"
