CHAPTER 239: CHAPTER 159: THE PRINCESS CONSORT HAS ESCAPED! (PART 2)

Though judging someone by a single action might be a bit hasty, it just really rubbed her the wrong way!

"Nuannuan."

Yelyu Lie didn’t know what his little darling was thinking while crouched there with fiery eyes, and he reached out his big hand to gently pull her up, bending over to brush the dust off her cloak.

Comparing goods should lead to discarding, comparing people should lead to frustration!

With the Barbarian General’s considerate gesture at this moment, Yun Chunnuan felt even more irked by her prospective mother-in-law’s near stumble earlier.

She must help her leave! Following such a man, except for the times when he deceives you into his bed with kindness, he won’t care about your well-being on regular days!

"Hubby! You said Mother forgot something? Let’s hurry and help her!"

"Nuannuan, I need you to do something for me."

"Hmm?"

"I’ll send you back to the mansion now. Go play with the girls; the livelier, the better."

Yun Chunnuan blinked her eyes, which looked particularly bright under the lights, without asking anything, and nodded, "Okay, but I don’t want you to send me. You quickly go help Mother; I’m afraid she won’t be able to leave tonight and never will again."

"No, that’s not possible. The city is noisy right now; it might scare you."

Actually, in the place where the Little Princess was, there were hidden guards she didn’t know about, arranged by the Barbarian General.

But Yelyu Lie couldn’t be at ease without seeing his little darling return safely to the General Mansion; only then could he relax and handle other matters.

Sending the little darling to the entrance she escaped from last time and seeing her enter the mansion, Yelyu Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and ran...

After returning to the mansion, Yun Chunnuan swiftly changed into comfortable clothes she usually wore at home.

She then called for Qiao’er and other few girls in the courtyard, and also asked Aunt Ye to bring Lian Qiao along.

After a few days, Lian Qiao’s scars on her face had faded even more.

If you didn’t look closely, you really couldn’t tell.

Moreover, she had a delicate makeup on; it was clear she had dressed up deliberately.

Yun Chunnuan was somewhat surprised, "Am I interrupting your date?"

"Date? He Lang?" Lian Qiao’s eyes were filled with disappointment, "That guy is so annoying! I clearly made a deal to go release lanterns together tonight. But when I arrived at He Lang’s house, the door was tightly shut, not a servant in sight!

You tell me, is he deliberately avoiding me?

If Aunt Ye hadn’t come to call me, the more I thought about it, the angrier I got, ready to catch him!"

Yun Chunnuan: "..."

He Lang must have been coaxed into such a state by Lian Qiao that he’s considering moving his entire household!

If it were another time, Yun Chunnuan might have sat down with Lian Qiao for a chat.

But now, the mansion needed to be lively.

Just this handful of people, it wasn’t enough.

"Why catch him? Let’s play cuju! There’s a Martial Arts Arena in the Martial Hall specifically for ball games, and there’s silver to be won if you win! Who wants to sign up?"

"Princess... What’s this? Why did you suddenly think of playing cuju at night?" Qiao’er asked suspiciously.

The Little Princess glanced towards the bedroom, her tone quite bossy, "Someone thinks we’re weak women, and even if his injuries haven’t healed, he believes he can win against a whole team alone!

Who wants to team up with me to practice? Once he wakes up, watch this Princess beat him to a pulp!"

"The General said that?"

Lian Qiao, already infuriated by He Xuanzhi, was instantly motivated when she heard that, "I’ll practice with you! Once we’re good at it, let’s have the General bring He Lang... too! I’m going to beat him to a pulp!

You, you, you, and you, all join us! One tael of silver for an hour of practice! First come, first served!"

Without the Little Princess having to introduce the reward system, Lian Qiao took care of it herself.

The little maids, initially planning to go out to play, heard that they could earn a tael of silver per hour, and swarmed over.

You know, they worked hard for a month to earn three hundred wen monthly silver!

Soon, the Martial Arts Arena in the Martial Hall was filled with over a dozen young maidens.

One team had seven members, with the Green Team led by Yun Chunnuan, and the Red Team led by Lian Qiao.

Lian Qiao originally thought the Little Princess was soft and tender and wanted to be on her team to protect her.

Unexpectedly, she insisted on being the captain herself.

So Lian Qiao wasn’t going to be polite and rolled up her sleeves, planning to show the Little Princess her cuju skills!

But she never expected that, this seemingly weak and timid little darling, who seemed scared at loud voices, would be so agile when playing cuju.
