The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 40

[Chapter 40: Will you miss me?]

“Is there something on my face?”

Zhao Yan reached out and touched her face and asked doubtfully.

Fang Xiu shook his head and said, “No.”

He probably thought too much.

How could your majesty, the princess, leave the palace?

What’s more, in Chu State, princesses have to learn etiquette from female officials since they are born.

Although there is no need to be as proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting as the courtesan in a brothel, he should also be able to embroider women and so on.

But look at this person. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, she just practices some three-legged cat kung fu in the yard. There is no way she looks like a princess.

It is more believable to say that she is the daughter of the martial arts leader.

However, according to Fang Xiu’s understanding, although there are some martial arts sects in this world, they are not popular.

Compared with the famous sects described in martial arts novels, which can command the world and interfere in government affairs, they are far behind.

Not to mention the leader of the martial arts alliance.

“Miss”

was walking on the bustling street. Fang Xiu was wondering why Xia Yixue changed his attention when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

A scarred man in civilian clothes stood in front of them, looked at Zhao Yan and said, “Miss, I miss you. I hope you can go back and visit.”

Zhao Yan was startled and said, “I don’t know you. Who are you?”

The scarred man smiled and said, “Young lady just arrived at the house a few days ago. It’s reasonable that the lady doesn’t know you. But, this…”

The scarred man took out a sign from his sleeve. , handed it to Zhao Yan, and said, “Young lady, I should know you.”

Zhao Yan reached out to take the sign, and when she saw the pattern engraved on it clearly, her body trembled.

After a while, she returned the sign to the scarred man. After hesitating for a while, she looked up at him and asked, “Can I go back in a few days?” The

scarred man glanced at Fang Xiu, thought for a moment, and said : “For a few days, the master shouldn’t mind.”

“Yes.”

Zhao Yan nodded with joy on her face.

“Master Fang,”

the scarred man looked at Fang Xiu, saluted, and said, “I’ve been bothering you these days.”

Fang Xiu waved his hand to indicate that he didn’t care.

The scarred man smiled, bowed to Zhao Yan, and turned to leave.

After a while, he disappeared into the darkness of the street corner.

“A member of the family?”

Fang Xiu glanced at the scarred man’s back and asked casually.

Zhao Yan nodded absently.

Fang Xiu smiled and said, “When you go home, don’t forget the money you owe me.”

After hearing this, Zhao Yan did not give him a roll of her eyes or twist his arm as usual. , yelled ‘cheapskate’.

She just lowered her head, looked at her toes, and responded softly.

Seeing her like this, Fang Xiu felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He looked at Zhao Yan and said, “If you don’t want to go back, no one can take you away from Fang Mansion.”

A bright light flashed in Zhao Yan’s beautiful eyes, she looked up at Fang Xiu and asked, “Really?”

“Really.”

Fang Xiu nodded solemnly.

Zhao Yan asked: “Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble?”

Fang Xiu smiled and said: “A lunatic with a brain disease would be afraid of getting into trouble?”

Zhao Yan looked at Fang Xiu, and Fang Xiu also looked at Zhao Yan.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Zhao Yan suddenly smiled.

“According to the law, how long should a girl be imprisoned for kidnapping and trafficking?”

Zhao Yan asked playfully with the corner of her mouth raised.

Fang Xiu thought for a while and said: “Abducting girls is naturally a death penalty for trafficking women. I don’t know.”

Zhao Yan rolled her eyes at him: “A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory.”

The sky was getting dark, and the entire capital was still lit with lights. Like day.

Lanterns with flickering candles hung on the streets, and lotus lanterns floated in the river.

Fireworks bloomed in the distant night sky, clearly reflecting Fang Xiu’s delicate profile.

Zhao Yan looked at him, her beautiful eyes gradually blurred.

Thinking that the two were about to separate, Fang Xiu was lost for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he realized that Zhao Yan was still looking at him.

Fang Xiu asked in surprise: “Why are you looking at me if you don’t look at the lotus lantern?”

“Nothing.”

Zhao Yan came to her senses, immediately looked away, and asked in a low voice: “After I leave, will you miss me?”

The sound of fireworks was heard not far away. By the river and in the night sky, the fireworks made the entire capital even brighter.

Fang Xiu rubbed his shocked ears and asked, “What did you say?”

Zhao Yan smiled and said, “Let’s go eat glutinous rice balls.”

After walking around the street with Zhao Yan, Xiu’er and Bai Xiaochun had already left when they returned to Chunfeng Tower.

In front of Chunfeng Tower, the lantern riddle party is still going on.

Out of a hundred lanterns, only one or two out of ten were rescued.

Despite this, more and more people are gathering here.

If shopkeeper Lu hadn’t sent someone to clear a path in and out of the restaurant, Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan might have been blocked inside.

Because of the crowd, the carriage stopped in front of Chunfeng Tower, making it difficult to move forward.

Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan had no choice but to walk back to Fang Mansion.

After all, the girl’s physical strength was much weaker. Zhao Yan only walked halfway and was too tired to move forward.

Fang Xiu wanted to carry her on his back, but she refused.

Fang Xiu couldn’t resist her, so he had to find a place to stay and rest for a while.

Maybe it’s because he understands that the two are about to separate and will never see each other again.

Sitting next to Fang Xiu, Zhao Yan began to tell stories about her childhood.

For example, when she was young, she was unwilling to study and wanted to practice martial arts, so she carved a wooden sword by herself and was scolded by her father.

She was not convinced, so she took a wooden sword and chopped wildly in the yard to vent her anger. She accidentally chopped down her father’s favorite flower, so she had to sit in the yard and cry.

The little maids who accompanied her didn’t know how to persuade her, so they sat next to her and cried with her

. It was impossible for the girl to mention these embarrassing things in childhood to Fang Xiu.

At this moment, she had no scruples when talking about this, with a slight smile on her lips.

Fang Xiu looked at her, and for a moment, he suddenly didn’t want to let her go.

As the girl spoke, her voice became quieter. It wasn’t until her breathing gradually stabilized that Fang Xiu realized that she had fallen asleep.

At this time, Fang Mansion’s carriage had also found Fang Xiu.

Bai Xiaochun got off the carriage and saw Fang Xiu. His face showed excitement and he shouted: “Master”.

Fang Xiu put his finger to his lips to signal to be silent.

Bai Xiaochun hurriedly closed his mouth.

In order not to wake the girl up, Fang Xiu hugged her like a princess and got into the carriage.

Bai Xiaochun followed behind, driving a carriage.

The carriage moved slowly, trying not to be bumpy.

When we returned to Fang Mansion, there were only a few lights left in the sky
