On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 175 - : Escape Again

Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Escape Again

“Aunt, your tongue has no filter, I hope that’s something you can change. When I’m not around, I trust you will treat my maternal grandmother well. After all, these days I’ve seen her complexion is rosy, which must be the result of your filial piety.”

Leng Yu Yan’s words left Ms. Qu feeling somewhat ashamed.

She lowered her head, “You’re very understanding, but I still mean what I said—I don’t agree to Yu Ming marrying you!”

Leng Yu Yan smiled faintly, “Aunt worries too much.”

Suddenly, her smile faded, “Niece has something to say to Grandmother alone, so I ask Uncle and Aunt to please excuse us.”

This was her polite way of asking them to leave.

Ms. Qu rose from the ground feeling ashamed, tugging at Zhang Ruohai’s sleeve, they left the room.

Seeing them leave, Leng Yu Yan quickly took her grandmother’s pulse and then wrote a prescription.

Elder Mrs. Zhang lazily came to, her eyes brimming with tears, “Nannan, Grandmother heard everything. I pity my granddaughter; your uncle and I are useless, that tigress…”

“Grandmother, don’t worry about me, as long as Aunt treats you well on normal days, that’s enough.”

At the Zhang Family, she was an outsider.

An outsider who did not even know her own father.

In this world, a person who doesn’t know their own surname is bound to be looked down upon.

Leng Yu Yan restrained the moisture in her eyes, “I’ve written a recipe for you, to soothe your mood and prolong your life.”

She didn’t know when she would be able to visit Grandmother in Jiangzhou again after leaving this time. Now, she only hoped that Grandmother would live a long and healthy life, and one day, she would definitely come back to see her!

Elder Mrs. Zhang was completely unaware of Leng Yu Yan’s decision to leave Jiangzhou. Seeing her beautiful handwriting, she said with a bitter smile, “You are so magnanimous, it makes Grandmother feel even more guilty.”

Leng Yu Yan gently nestled into Elder Mrs. Zhang’s arms, rubbing her face affectionately.

Grandmother gave birth to Mother, and Mother gave birth to her.

Perhaps it was this warm in Mother’s arms as well?

In modern times, she was an orphan.

Back here, her Mother was long gone.

In two lives, she never knew what maternal love was.

A lone tear rolled slowly from the corner of Leng Yu Yan’s eye, falling onto the brocade quilt and immediately spreading.

That evening, Leng Yu Yan packed lightly.

Then she called Mrs. Zhao and Miao Zhu into the room.

Seeing her serious expression, they both asked in unison, “Miss, what’s wrong?”

The incident that happened in Elder Mrs. Zhang’s courtyard was strictly prohibited from being discussed by the servants by Zhang Ruohai, so they were not yet aware.

Leng Yu Yan said, “When it’s completely dark, Miao Zhu and I will leave the Zhang Family, leave Jiangzhou.”

“Miss, what about this old servant?” Mrs. Zhao asked worriedly.

“Mrs. Zhao, you stay. Aunt speaks without a filter, and I’ll be at ease knowing that you’re with Grandmother. Besides, you are originally from Jiangzhou, there is no need for you to drift around with me.”

“Miss, this old servant wants to follow you. Lady instructed that I must not leave Miss!”

“Mrs. Zhao, rest assured, once this period is over, I will come for you,” Leng Yu Yan said candidly, “And you being here serves a purpose for me too, which is to deceive others.”

The flooding was mostly over by now, and the main and subsidiary roads were passable. Mrs. Zhao could not ride, and if she left with her, their pace would be much slower.

Just her and Miao Zhu leaving meant they could ride fast on horseback.

Master and servants gathered and quietly laid out the plans for what was to come.

It was pitch dark when Leng Yu Yan and Miao Zhu climbed over the wall and left.

The following day.

Elder Mrs. Zhang ordered someone to invite Leng Yu Yan, but Mrs. Zhao said she was still asleep.

When Zhang Yumeng came looking for Leng Yu Yan, Mrs. Zhao still said she was resting.

By the afternoon, people from both Ye Yiheng and Ji Qingyu’s parties had paid a visit to the Zhang Family, but Mrs. Zhao continued to say that her young lady was resting and it was not convenient to receive guests.

Since Mrs. Zhao was still there, all these people looking for Leng Yu Yan did not think in other directions.

Another day passed, and when people realized something was amiss, Leng Yu Yan was already far from Jiangzhou.

For a while, both Ye Yiheng and Ji Qingyu had no idea where Leng Yu Yan had gone.

The two of them demanded from Mrs. Zhao at the Zhang Family a detailed explanation.

Although Elder Mrs. Zhang also wanted to know where Leng Yu Yan had gone, facing the Crown Prince and Prince Qing, she hoped that Mrs. Zhao wouldn’t reveal the truth.

Mrs. Zhao knelt on the ground and honestly said, “What this old servant has said and done was all instructed by the young lady. Whatever the young lady said, this old servant did.”

Ji Qingyu narrowed his eyes, “This prince is asking you, where did your young lady actually go?”

Mrs. Zhao calmly replied, “My young lady had anticipated that the Crown Prince and Prince Qing would both question this old servant, hence she did not tell this old servant where she went.”

Ye Yiheng said coldly, “She didn’t tell you?”

Mrs. Zhao’s spine was straight, her tone smooth, “Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince, my young lady’s goal was to escape from Your Highness, thus she did not tell this old servant.”

Ye Yiheng squeezed his hand; he truly couldn’t believe that woman—first she gave him scar removal ointment and then she actually ran away!

She escaped from his side once again!

How did he not foresee this?

Ye Yiheng fell into silence; his powerful aura suppressed everything in the Zhang Family’s main hall.

Ms. Qu trembled, her heart jolted, and she immediately knelt on the ground, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Qing, it was because this common woman and the old mother had a few quarrels. Yu Yan, this child, is filial and could not bear to see this common woman and the old mother at odds, so she left.”

“Oh?” Ye Yiheng said coldly, “Explain it to me clearly!”

Ms. Qu detailed everything about Elder Mrs. Zhang’s wish to pair Zhang Yuming with Leng Yu Yan.

Elder Mrs. Zhang shook her head repeatedly; this woman, truly weak!

Ye Yiheng stood up, his voice chilly, “Leng Yu Yan is my woman, all of you bear that in mind!”

Then he walked out; after a couple of steps, he paused and slightly turned his head, “Ji Qingyu, you too, bear that in mind!”

Once the Crown Prince had left, Ji Qingyu coldly said to Ms. Qu, “It is because the old lady favored Zhang Yuming that she tried to match him with Ah Yan. Would Ah Yan take a liking to him?”

As if he, Ji Qingyu, didn’t exist?

After dropping a couple of remarks, Ji Qingyu also left.

Jian Lecheng, following behind at the end, snapped his folding fan shut, “This lord needs to remind you, the Crown Prince and Prince Qing refrained from taking action against your Zhang Family solely because of Lady Yu Yan.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ruohai’s heart sharply tensed.

Elder Mrs. Zhang’s expression darkened, silently praying in her heart, may the Crown Prince and Prince Qing not find Nannan; Nannan must escape far away!

In Beilan City, at the Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

Li Yuyue was accompanying his mother for a walk in the garden.

Suddenly, a servant reported, “Princely Heir, someone from the capital has arrived!”

Li Yuyue quickly instructed a maid following behind, “Help the Princess.”

He then followed the servant to the front courtyard.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Gao Yuan, a guard he had left in the capital, Li Yuyue hurriedly led him to his study.

Inside the study, Gao Yuan bowed respectfully, “Princely Heir, trouble started in the capital the second day after you left.”

Li Yuyue’s expression darkened, “What trouble occurred?”

“On the day of the Imperial College’s monthly archery exam, Lady Yu Yan won first place. The Emperor, in his joy, set her wedding date with the Crown Prince. Unexpectedly, the Old Madam of the Leng Family came forward and stated that Leng Yu Yan is not truly Leng Zongfa’s biological daughter.”
