Chapter 673: I Believe You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When he found out that Xiao Juan and Tang Guixi had brought people to look for him, Shen Zhuo was not surprised.

He had already expected this moment. At the same time, he knew very well that Xiao Juan and Tang Guixi would not dare to do anything to him. Like him, they did not want another war for the time being.

Shen Zhuo stood up slowly. “Let’s go out and meet them.”

Wei Liao and the commander of the imperial guards turned to the side to make way.

When Shen Zhuo walked out, they followed him silently.

When the courtyard door was pulled open, there were hundreds of people standing outside. They held torches in one hand and weapons in the other. The firelight shone on the blades, refracting a terrifying cold light in the night.

Xiao Juan and Tang Guixi stood at the front of the team with murderous expressions.

When Shen Zhuo appeared, the corners of Tang Guixi’s mouth twitched into a fake smile.

“Yo, if it isn’t the emperor of Dayan. Why are you in a small place like ours?” It was very sarcastic.

Shen Zhuo placed his hands behind his back and said calmly, “I was traveling incognito and came here for a stroll. I didn’t expect to alarm so many people.”

Tang Guixi faked another smile. “Heh! You strolled from the Imperial Capital to

Eastern Tang. You’ve wandered far enough.” novelbuddy.c(o)m

Shen Zhuo glanced at the group of murderous soldiers behind her and said, “You don’t look like you welcome me.”

Tang Guixi said, “How can that be? Those who come are guests. We Eastern Tang people are the most hospitable.”

She especially turned to look at the soldiers behind her and asked loudly.

“Don’t you think so?”

The soldiers shouted in unison, “Yes!!”

The sound was deafening as it echoed through the night.

It could be said to be very imposing!

It made people feel inexplicably nervous that they were on the battlefield where a battle could be started at any time.

Shen Zhuo’s eyelids twitched. If not for the fact that he had long asked about

Tang Guixi’s personality and knew that she valued the livelihood of the people

how to escape.

He remained calm. “I’ve already felt Eastern Tang’s enthusiasm, but I still have something to do and don’t plan to stay here for long. I’ll leave at dawn tomorrow.”

Tang Guixi had never thought of keeping him, but she did not intend to let him go so easily.

“It’s rare for the Dayan emperor to come to Eastern Tang, and I didn’t have time to do my best as a host. Why don’t we do this? Tomorrow, Founding Duke will bring troops to send you out of Eastern Tang. Don’t worry, with Founding Duke around, your journey will definitely be smooth.”

She turned to look at Xiao Juan and asked, “What do you think?”

Xiao Juan cupped his hands. “I will definitely not let you down. I will definitely send the Dayan emperor out of Eastern Tang smoothly.”

Tang Guixi clapped her hands happily.

“Then it’s settled!”

Shen Zhuo wanted to refuse.

However, Tang Guixi did not give him a chance at all. She said directly, “Aiyaya, it’s already so late. You still have to travel tomorrow morning. You have to rest well tonight. I won’t disturb you anymore. Goodbye!” 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝘮

With that, she left with Xiao Juan without looking back.

As for the hundreds of soldiers who came with them, they were left behind.

They surrounded the small courtyard. It was called protection, but it was actually surveillance.

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan returned to the Duke’s Mansion with their daughter.

Usually, Little Fubao slept alone in the small bed with the nanny and maidservant watching over her all night. However, tonight, Little Fubao refused to sleep alone. She clung to Yu Niaoniao.

As long as Yu Niaoniao let go of her, she would cry.

She had no choice. Yu Niaoniao could only sleep with her daughter tonight.

Fortunately, the bed was big enough. There was still more than enough space for a little Fubao between Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan.

Little Fubao snuggled in her mother’s arms and grabbed her mother’s lapels with her small hands. Her two black grape-like eyes stared at his mother without blinking, as if she was afraid that her mother would disappear in the next moment.

Yu Niaoniao hugged her and gently patted her back, humming a lullaby gently.

Her mother’s breath and voice made Little Fubao feel at ease. Before she realized it, the little fellow closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Yu Niaoniao stopped humming. She looked past Little Fubao and met Xiao Juan’s eyes.

She lowered her voice and asked, “When are you leaving tomorrow?” Xiao Juan also lowered his voice. “Five o’clock. We have to set off at dawn.” Yu Niaoniao wanted to get up. “I’ll get someone to prepare your luggage.”

This trip would take at least ten days. They had to prepare food and clothes.

Xiao Juan reached out to hold her down. “No need. I’ve already asked Granny to prepare. ”

Granny Xiu Yan was still very reliable, so Yu Niaoniao lay back down in peace.

There was a long silence.

Just as Xiao Juan thought that she was already asleep, he suddenly heard her ask, “Why didn’t you ask me?”

Xiao Juan asked, “Ask you what?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Ask why Shen Zhuo kidnapped me. What did he say to me after I met him? And why did he let me back in one piece?”

Xiao Juan naturally wanted to know very much.

But after a moment of silence, he said, “I want to hear what you want to say. If you don’t wish to say it, I’ll pretend none of this happened.”

Yu Niaoniao became even more curious. “You don’t seem to care what happened between Shen Zhuo and me.” Xiao Juan said, “I care.”

He sounded certain and did not hesitate.

Yu Niaoniao smiled and said in a low and soft voice, “Then why didn’t you ask? Aren’t you afraid that something would happen between me and Shen Zhuo behind your back?”

Xiao Juan’s eyes darkened. “You won’t do that. I believe you.”

Although he said that, the intimate scene of Yu Niaoniao and Shen Zhuo still involuntarily appeared in his mind. He immediately had the urge to kill.

After experiencing so much together, Yu Niaoniao had a deep understanding of Xiao Juan.

Even if he didn’t say it, she could guess what he was thinking through the subtle changes in his expression.

In order to prevent his imagination from running wild, Yu Niaoniao simply told him everything she had said to Shen Zhuo.

Xiao Juan suppressed the surging jealousy in his heart and commented without changing his expression, “Shen Zhuo came all the way to Eastern Tang to look for you. He’s indeed sincere to you.”

Yu Niaoniao glanced at him. “You seem to support him very much?”

Xiao Juan immediately said, “He’s not worthy of you.”

Putting everything else aside, just from the fact that Shen Zhuo had used Yu Niaoniao again and again and did not care about her feelings at all, he was not worthy of her.

Yu Niaoniao smiled again. She, on the other hand, asked knowingly, “Then who do you think is worthy of me?”

Xiao Juan opened his mouth and the word “I” circled on the tip of his tongue, but he could not spit it out.

Yu Niaoniao looked at his hesitant expression and felt that it was very cute.

If not for the fact that there was a little Fubao sleeping between the two of them, she would definitely have gone up to kiss him.

Xiao Juan seemed to read her thoughts from her eyes.

He propped himself up on the bed with one hand, reached past his precious daughter, and kissed his dear wife on the lips.

It was a light kiss without any lust.

There was the calmness and beauty of the years..
