Chapter 181: The Wolf Is Here!
Youyou, obviously, didn’t even bother to despise this dim-witted human woman.
Humph.
Ignored her.
Han Jing stepped forward and patted Youyou’s head, "Good girl, let’s take the carriage instead!"
It did seem a bit too ostentatious to go out with Youyou like this.
Youyou obediently nodded.
An Chuxue...
Is this a joke? Why is Youyou such a proud wolf to everyone else, but to Han Jing, she gives off the vibe of a submissive dog?
An Chuxue shook her head, "This is too much of a double standard."
The two of them, along with Youyou, boarded the carriage. Chatting leisurely on the way, they soon arrived at Prince Ling Mansion.
The people at Prince Ling Mansion, upon seeing Han Jing, were just about to report her visit when suddenly a wolf leaped off the carriage, immediately scaring them weak-kneed.
"Comm-Comm-Comman, dery Princess, spare, spare us—" Ever since the incident at the gates of Prince Ling Mansion where Han Jing and Su Xingyan, the former betrothed, became enemies, the people of the mansion couldn’t help but tremble at the sight of Han Jing. Everyone knew this Commandery Princess was not to be trifled with!
What’s going on now, why did she bring such a huge wolf! It’s almost a person tall! Truly frightening!
Han Jing couldn’t be bothered with them and said to An Chuxue, "Let’s go inside!"
An Chuxue, walking beside Youyou, saw the people of Prince Ling Mansion scared out of their wits, and felt a sense of borrowed authority from a powerful ally, oh no, a wolf’s majesty! What a thrill!
With Youyou there, no one dared to stop Han Jing, and there wasn’t even anyone brave enough to run and report.
Han Jing had come to Prince Ling Mansion at night before, so she roughly knew the direction of Su Xingyan’s courtyard. Su Xingyan resided in the main courtyard of the mansion, making it relatively easy to find.
Su Xingyan and Han Yan were still taking a nap.
Because of Su Xingyan’s "poisoning" incident earlier, Han Yan had been a bit of a wreck, but in recent days, while Su Xingyan was away from the mansion, Han Yan finally managed to restore her appearance. Now that Su Xingyan had returned, she certainly needed to think of ways to keep him.
No matter how you looked at it, in a huge mansion like Prince Ling Mansion, she was the only woman serving Su Xingyan. If she didn’t seize this chance to win Su Xingyan’s heart, she would have even less of a chance should anyone new come in later.
Moreover, she was already Su Xingyan’s woman, and besides staying in the mansion and waiting for Su Xingyan to fulfill his promise to make her a concubine, she had no other choice.
So, for the past two days, Han Yan had been giving it her all, sticking to Su Xingyan at every opportunity.
Su Xingyan was troubled by the debt of 880,000 taels of silver owed to Han Jing. Although he could produce the silver, extracting such a sum from both the mansion and the outside shops and properties at once was truly taxing. At this moment, he felt he had been rather rash in promising this silver, but he certainly couldn’t back out now.
So Su Xingyan really wasn’t in the mood to deal with Han Yan.
After Han Yan’s efforts over two to three days, she finally managed at noon to enter his room when Su Xingyan, bothered by his troubles, had had some drink.
Just as they were resting after some tussling, they heard the commotion outside.
Immediately, a servant’s panicked report rang out, "My lord, my lord, it’s terrible, Princess Chenyu, she, she brought people, oh no, not people, she brought a wolf, barged, barged in! She’s already almost at the courtyard!"
