Chapter 550: Chapter 549: How Long Will You Follow?

Feng Yexuan was indeed in a hurry to return to the Imperial City.

However, according to the messages he received, even if he rushed back now, he wouldn’t be able to see Lili.

The convoy from Longteng Country wouldn’t arrive that quickly.

That day, he still settled in and took a stroll around the town.

Just as the Magistrate had described, the common people were living in dire straits, barely surviving.

"But the report the imperial envoy sent back last month claimed that the pest infestation had been mostly solved, and that farming was gradually being restored."

Feng Yexuan and Leng Ji were aware of the pest infestation problem in Qingxi Town and the surrounding towns.

It was just that they had not expected the imperial envoy to superficially comply but secretly go against the directive, reporting a completely unresolved issue as if it had been taken care of.

"I recall, His Majesty even rewarded the imperial envoy generously for his swift handling of the situation!"

With a snap, the cup that Feng Yexuan was holding shattered in his grip.

These damn bastards! Each one covering up and deceiving, padding their own pockets!

The suffering of the people was mostly caused by these dogs who were indulging in bribery and bending the law!

"Prince, are you going to personally handle this matter?" But Leng Ji was very clear that the Prince was anxious to return to the Imperial City.

Chu Qianli would soon arrive there, and naturally, the Prince was eager to see her.

But dealing with a pest infestation wasn’t a matter of one or two days.

It would certainly delay the Prince’s meeting with Miss Chu.

Feng Yexuan clenched his palm forcefully and finally stood up, heading towards the door.

"Prince..."

"Summon Jinrui, I will take him personally to survey the fields."

"It’s getting late," Leng Ji said, somewhat surprised.

Inspecting pests in the fields late at night?

"I need to understand the Lijia Worm’s habits during both day and night."

However, another important point was to take Jinrui out to see for himself.

Leng Ji nodded and responded, "Yes!"

But he had barely left when he hurried back in a rush: "Prince, Lord Fourteen is not here, the guards said he left in the evening and hasn’t returned yet."

"Prince, Lord Fourteen is highly skilled in martial arts; he’s probably just out having fun, he shouldn’t be in any danger," Leng Ji added.

Feng Yexuan didn’t say a word, but his expression grew darker.

Jinrui was no longer young; how could he still act like a child?

With such a temperament, how would he handle important responsibilities in the future?

"Order someone to wait for him, and as soon as he returns, have him wait for me in the study and not leave even a step away!"

"Yes!"

...

Feng Jinrui had indeed left the premises.

Whether it could be considered going out for fun, he himself didn’t know.

In fact, after his fourth brother had told him to learn to grow up, he had made an effort not to indulge in frivolous activities anymore.

But today, for some reason, he saw a little maid.

A little maid of average appearance, whom he had never seen before.

It happened on the main street, while he was riding behind his elder brother; he didn’t know why, but suddenly he turned his head and glanced back.

It was a compulsion, an urge to look back.

Afterward, he saw her figure from behind.

If it weren’t for the strict military discipline, he would have chased after her right then and there.

Yet, having seen that figure, Feng Jinrui suddenly became curious about the girl.

Once his elder brother settled into the Magistrate’s residence, he quickly went out to look for her.

After searching for a long time, he finally determined the inn where she was staying, and coincidently, he saw the girl leaving with a small basket.

So Feng Jinrui followed her.

Now, the little maid was staring at him, fuming:

"You’ve been following me all night, what exactly do you want to do? If you want to fight, just say it! What’s the meaning of following silently?"
