Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 138 Dissolution of Engagement

Princess Suyun shuddered in disbelief. Her meticulous plan had failed so recently. If she returned to Ziluo Country, Su Ye would be the first one to not let her go!

She sat there blankly, as if she didn't hear what the maid said at all. The maid gave a look to the people behind her, and the two young maids behind her walked up to her, helped her up, and took her outside.

There were two maids beside Suyun, who were following her silently at this moment.

When they arrived at the palace gate, the head maid handed Princess Suyun a bundle and said, "Princess, the journey is long. Here is the carriage and silver that the Second Prince's wife has prepared for you. Princess, please go directly to the post station. Someone there will escort you back to Ziluo Country. You can also choose to send a letter back and ask the people of Ziluo Country to send an envoy to pick you up."

After saying this, the senior palace maid bowed and turned to enter the palace.

Princess Suyun held the bundle in a daze and got on the carriage at the palace gate in silence. She told the maid to sit outside the carriage, then took a deep breath and quietly unfolded the note in her hand. This was the note that had been placed under the bundle when the head maid gave it to her.

This palace maid was a servant of the former crown prince Yuwen Ze, so this note was also Yuwen Ze's intention.

She looked at the content above, her pupils shrank, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of her lips.

When she arrived at the post station, she did not leave immediately, but chose to send someone to send a message back to Zi Luo Kingdom, so that she could buy some time.

The longer we can delay it, the better. Maybe there will be a turning point later.

The maidservants pouted, and Princess Suyun happened to see it. She slapped the two maidservants twice and scolded them, "I am your master. Put away those little thoughts. Do you think that when you return to Ziluo Kingdom, your Third Prince will still remember you?"

The two maids knelt down hurriedly: "Princess, please forgive me."

Princess Suyun sneered. If she had no one else to use, why would she let these two slaves stay by her side? "I'm telling you, you are my slaves. If you make me unhappy, even if you return to Ziluo Country, I will throw you to the soldiers in the barracks first."

After saying this, she was satisfied to see the horrified expressions on the faces of the two maids. Then she gave another order: "Of course, if this princess lives well, you will also benefit. Keep an eye on it for me. If General Du returns to the capital, let me know."

The two maids responded hurriedly, and Princess Suyun turned around and walked back to her room.

All the movements at the post station were reported to Shen Wanqing by the people from Zuimenglou.

Shen Wanqing frowned unconsciously. She had been staring at Princess Suyun because she was worried that she would do something bad to Xiao Chenyang again. But now it seemed that Princess Suyun had turned her gaze back to Du Zhijie.

What is she going to do?

And Shen Yunlan, why did he suddenly want to see me? Didn't he stay away from the Hou Mansion? Could it be...

Shen Wanqing's face was gloomy. Du Zhijie was currently suppressing the bandits, and she couldn't let anything happen to her that would distract him. So she called Linglong over and said, "Find out about my father's mistress. Tell her that the Marquis can't stand the hardship of life outside and wants to return to the Marquis Mansion to start a new life."

Linglong was startled, then thought of the information she had previously inquired about, and nodded cautiously.

During the time when Shen Yunlan was not in the Hou Mansion, Su Shi was not feeling well and did not take care of the affairs of the mansion, so she had some free time.

At that time, Shen Yunlan was having dinner in the outer room.

The concubine he kept rushed in upon hearing the news and pushed Shen Yunlan without saying a word: "Master Hou! Didn't you say you would always be with me? Why are you going back to start a new life? If you don't want me anymore, I will become a widow. How can you be so cruel!"

Shen Yunlan lost his balance and fell directly to the ground, which immediately caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.

"Master, Master!" a servant cried out in alarm, "Hurry up and help Master up."

The concubine was also shocked when she saw this situation. She was so angry just now that she forgot that although Shen Yunlan was not in the Marquis's Mansion, he was the Marquis. She pushed him today, and in the future...

The servants hurriedly called the court physician, who frowned tightly and said, "Master Hou is already old and cannot withstand such torture. You must be careful in the future." As he said that, he prescribed a medicine and told Shen Yunlan to rest well in the next few days.

Shen Yunlan thanked him repeatedly, and after the court doctor left, he raised his hand to hit the concubine.

The concubine stiffened her neck, tears welling up in her eyes, and said sarcastically, "Go ahead and hit me. In your heart, you no longer have me as your concubine."

The slap never came. Shen Yunlan tiredly ordered his servants, "Keep her under surveillance. If she does it again, everyone in the yard will be sold out."

The concubine's wife was filled with resentment. She had heard that the wife of the Hou Mansion was terminally ill and that she would be the mistress of the Hou Mansion in the future. Why was she so impatient today and making the Hou Mansion angry for nothing?

Meanwhile, in Wu County, Sun Wei also received a secret letter from Kyoto. This was just before they were about to attack the bandits. The envelope was bulging, and when he took it out, he found that it contained the jade pendants and bracelets of his wife and children.

Although Sun Wei was previously a man of Crown Prince Yuwen Ze, as a military officer, he admired Du Zhijie very much and did not want to harm him. Yuwen Ze anticipated this and used his wife and children as a threat.

He sat by the candlelight for a long time with the letter in his hand. As a grown man, he sighed with red eyes.

Soon, Du Zhijie led his soldiers and took the Wu County magistrate and the bandit leaders back to Kyoto, while Sun Wei died on the day of the bandit suppression.

When Shen Wanqing heard that Du Zhijie was coming back, she went to the restaurant early in the morning and booked a room facing the street. This was the only way to get to the palace, so she would be able to see him in advance.

Jing'er lay by the window and stared out until noon, then jumped up with joy: "Miss, it's General Du!"

Shen Wanqing smiled, feeling a little excited in her heart. She really missed him.

Looking down from the room on the second floor, I just happened to see a fiery red figure rushing into the team.

Princess Suyun was stopped by the soldiers. She cried out to Du Zhijie on his horse, "General, the Ninth Prince and I have broken off our engagement. I am yours. Don't let me go back to Ziluo Country!"

The noise shocked the onlookers. The guard frowned. He remembered that this princess had tried to seduce his master in the palace and was thrown out in the end. Now she dared to talk nonsense.

Just when everyone thought Du Zhijie would order Princess Suyun to be driven away, he pulled the reins and the team stopped immediately.

"Let her go." Du Zhijie's low voice sounded.

The soldiers immediately released Princess Suyun. Princess Suyun's eyes lit up with joy, and she called out delicately, "General, I really missed you so much. I finally hope you'll come back."
