Chapter 445: Chapter 445: It’s You!

“You know what I’m worried about.”

Di Yelei buried his head on her shoulder and murmured.

“Are you asking about Xuan’er’s matter? Actually, I don’t know what really happened either. I asked Xuan’er, but he refused to tell me. Later when I pressed him again, it was Prefecture Princess Luo who intermittently told me a bit.”

“Oh? What did she say?”

“She said, she was also in the dark. After they were taken hostage, they were taken to a courtyard. Those people shoved them around, then suddenly someone recognized her identity. They grouped together, and I don’t know what they discussed about. She initially thought it was over, but surprisingly, a figure suddenly dropped from the sky.”

“Hmm? Who is this person?” Di Yelei quickly sat up.

Liu Sisi shook her head, hesitating a bit: “Prefecture Princess Luo said she didn’t get a clear look at the person’s face. Because the person was all in black attire and had a masked face. However, she did hear Xuan’er say a sentence.”

“What did he say? Don’t keep me in suspense, quickly tell me!”

“Xuan’er said: ‘It’s you!’ Prefecture Princess Luo told me that Xuan’er only said two words, and his expression didn’t look good. The person quickly resolved those people and saved them. Afterward, when she asked Xuan’er again, Xuan’er adamantly denied having said this sentence.”

“It’s you… Xuan’er said that it was you, which means Xuan’er knew the person who came to the rescue?”

“According to Prefecture Princess Luo’s account, I’m afraid that’s the case.”

Liu Sisi nodded: “After they got out, they didn’t know where to find us, so Xuan’er thought of the place where the carriage was parked, and that’s why they ran towards the carriage, leading to the incident afterwards.”

“Hmm… the question is, who exactly is this person? Xuan’er stays at home every day, the people he knows logically, we should also know…”

The more Di Yelei spoke, the more it made sense. He couldn’t help but sit up from the head of the bed, turn over and get out of the bed to start dressing.

“You rest for a while, I’m going to ask him.”

“Ye Lei, don’t go. I asked him yesterday, and he refused to speak!” Liu Sisi hurriedly called out from behind.

“You rest. It’s okay, I’m just going to casually ask. Since the person saved Xuan’er, it’s a good thing after all. We should properly thank him.”

After Di Yelei finished speaking, he pushed open the door and swiftly left the room.

Liu Sisi looked at the tightly shut room door and lay back down on the head of the bed.

Who exactly is the man who came to save Xuan’er?

She pondered aimlessly, and sleepily fell asleep, she didn’t even know when Di Yelei came back.

Inside the hostel of Macheng County.

Thirteenth Luo, dressed only in his middle clothes, was absent-mindedly combing through his black hair with a comb, yet his gaze was looking through the mirror, which showed off his young but stubborn face. His deep black eyes were staring at her unwaveringly. It seemed as if he had a thousand words to say, but there was no way to start.

“Little brat…”

She muttered, unconsciously reaching out to touch, until she touched the cold chill of the bronze mirror, then she suddenly withdrew her hand.

Her heart suddenly thumped wildly!

She was actually suddenly thinking of him, what the hell was going on?

Before she could sort out her thoughts, a faint knock on the door sounded from outside: “Prefecture Princess, the slave has something to report.”

“Come in.”

She casually ordered, then picked up the comb again and slowly combed through her long hair.

The one who came in was her personal maid, Xiang’er. As soon as she entered, she quickly came forward and busied herself with combing Thirteenth Luo’s hair.

“Prefecture Princess, let the slave comb your hair. These maids are all getting lazy, actually letting Prefecture Princess do it by herself, they should be punished.” While she was speaking, she had already taken the comb and started to comb it gently.

“No matter, I asked them to leave.”

Thirteeth Luo looked at Xiang’er in the bronze mirror: “By the way, how are things going?”

Xiang’er was very efficient: “Prefecture Princess, the slave has already passed the message as you had instructed. But regarding moving to the north in these three days, everyone still has to pack their things, will the time be too tight?”

“If not for giving everyone time, I would have hated not being able to go to the capital immediately! Humph!”

Thirteenth Luo snorted lightly: “By the way, how is Lan’er?”

“To reply to the Prefecture Princess, the imperial physician said Lan’er’s life is saved. However, her internal organs have been damaged and she won’t be able to leave the bed for a short while. Even if she recovers, her health will not be as good as before.”

“Getting back a small life is already due to her ancestors’ blessings! Still thinking to return to the original state? If you want to blame, you can only blame herself for going against me, the Prefecture Princess, because she was spoiled by the Princess Consort! It’s not surprising that there is today’s disaster.”

If it wasn’t for her being a person of the Princess Consort, asking the imperial physician to come and treat her, she might have been a corpse at this moment.

Isn’t that indeed due to the blessings from their ancestors?

When her hair had dried, and Xiang’er had made the bed, Thirteenth Luo sent her away.

“You go as well! Tell everyone to move quickly. If there really isn’t enough time, staying in Macheng County to retire isn’t bad either!”

Are these old folks from the prince’s manor going to be left in this bird-less county to retire?

Xiang’er secretly gasped, hurriedly excused herself and left, quickly conveying the words of the Prefecture Princess.

Thirteenth Luo raised her hand, looking at the newly dyed nails that were still not completely dry, and laughed lightly.

“Since you’re here, just come out! Hiding like this will make others who see it think I’m hiding a wild man in Thirteenth Luo’s room!”

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a moment, the curtain of the window lightly bobbed, and Lu Taiwan lifted the door curtain and walked in.

“Little sister’s martial arts are indeed getting better and better, and this acting skill is even more so, not only did you fool everyone, even I, the elder brother, got included in your calculations, even all the reactions were calculated. Indeed, it’s high! High indeed!”

While speaking, he gave Thirteenth Luo a thumbs up.

“Good to hear, good to hear, this little sister also has no choice but to do this. If it wasn’t for self-preservation, why would Thirteen risk her life as bait? My good heir brother, don’t you think?”

While Thirteenth Luo spoke, she got up and walked towards him.

Lu Taiwan stared at her for quite a while, then picked at the corner of his mouth.

“Heh! Aren’t you afraid that you might really lose your life playing this game?”

“Well, I nearly lost my life indeed, but what about it? After all, I won the bet, right? My good heir brother!”

Sparks flew as their eyes met mid-air!

After a good while, Lu Taiwan withdrew his gaze: “Good! You’ve got guts! Thirteen Luo, I’ll wait to see the day you come begging me! Humph!”
