Chapter 965 Miss Him Already

“Why would I ask him? He wouldn’t learn the lesson if I didn’t hit him. Zhuozhuo, don’t worry. Second Young Master Qu won’t dare to gossip anymore!” Chu Liuchen said with a smile in a gentle voice.

It was true that Second Young Master Qu wouldn’t dare to gossip again. He had got his arm broken before he could say anything!

This rude and even violent protection made Shao Wanru feel bittersweet; she reached out to hold Chu Liuchen’s hand and said, “Will Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s Mansion hold it against us?”

“What can they do? If they further pursue this matter, her grandson would be fine, but it would be her granddaughter who would get into trouble!” Chu Liuchen was very pleased that Shao Wanru took the initiative to reach out to him. He reached out to hold Shao Wanru’s hand and said with gentleness in his eyes, “They have much to gain from a Princess Zhou than from a good-for-nothing grandson!”

Shao Wanru understood what he meant. Princess Zhou might become the future Empress. When Infanta Yuan’an took the position of the Empress, Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s Mansion would become the Empress’s family, and in the future, the crown prince might come from Infanta Yuan’an’s branch. In this way, at least, the honor and wealth of the Great Elder Princess’s Mansion could be maintained for decades.

This was also the most important reason why Ruiping Great Elder Princess valued Infanta Yuan’an.

“It should be an impromptu idea for Infanta Yuan’an to go to Butterfly Clothing Shop today!” Shao Wanru blinked her shimmery eyes and said.

“She overestimated herself!” Chu Liuchen said coldly.

“She probably hates me. But in the past, although she wasn’t close to me, she didn’t seem to hate me!” Shao Wanru said, dwelling on it.

“Ignore her!” Chu Liuchen said indifferently.

“If Ruiping Great Elder Princess holds it against you...” Shao Wanru said uneasily. She was worried about Chu Liuchen, afraid that it would affect him.

“Don’t worry!” Apparently, Chu Liuchen didn’t want to talk about the affairs of Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s Mansion anymore. He shook their holding hands and said, “I heard that Wen Xichi was also there today?”

“Yes, he happened to come down the stairs, but why did he come to Butterfly Clothing Shop?” Shao Wanru nodded and said. She also felt strange about it. She had thought that he came with Infanta Yuan’an, but now she found that he had nothing to do with Infanta Yuan’an. Was it really a coincidence that he came there?

“He shopped for his mother. I heard that Madam Wen likes the clothes in Butterfly Clothing Shop very much!” Chu Liuchen pulled Shao Wanru over and said lazily with a smile.

Speaking of Butterfly Clothing Shop, Shao Wanru became concerned. She pulled Chu Liuchen and said, “What about Butterfly Clothing Shop? I’m afraid that Prince Yue will find out about it!”

“So what? You think he won’t let you open a shop?” Chu Liuchen said indifferently.

“If he finds out that the shop belongs to me, you might get involved. It’s not good. If someone investigates the shop carefully, he might find out the matter of Duke Yong’s Mansion, and it won’t be good for anyone to get involved!” Shao Wanru said worriedly.

When something got Chu Liuchen involved, it would be difficult to smooth it over. This was why she preferred to deal with things by herself when she was able to.

She wanted to get Chu Liuchen as far away from any bad things as she could.

“Can you think of a way to protect Butterfly Clothing Shop without making people know that this shop belongs to me?” Shao Wanru asked.

“Beg me!” Chu Liuchen said lazily.

“What?” Shao Wanru said in astonishment and opened her watery eyes wide, thinking that she had heard it wrong.

“Beg me!” This time, it was obvious that Prince Chen said extremely shameless words with a handsome face. “I should get benefits out of it, right? If I get nothing out of it, why should I do it?”

“I’ve got nothing for you!” Shao Wanru pinched his hand hard. However, although Prince Chen looked weak, he was actually not weak at all. He did not take Shao Wanru’s pinch seriously.

Instead, he raised those handsome eyes and said, “It is not okay for Princess Chen to ask someone to do the job without giving any benefit. Even if you are my princess, you have to settle this matter clearly, lest you tangle with me in the future!”

“I will not tangle with you!” Shao Wanru blushed and said angrily.

“Who else will you be tangling with? I am the only one that you are allowed to tangle with.” Chu Liuchen pulled Shao Wanru into his arms, pointing at his handsome face and said, “My princess, you can decide for yourself!”

Of course, there were only him and Zhuozhuo that would tangle with each other. As for the others, they should stay away as far as possible.

Wen Xichi looked strange, or it could be said that he acted strangely when he saw Zhuozhuo. He seemed to have thousands of words to say to her, but they didn’t seem to be very close.

It felt very strange. There seemed to be something between them, but they looked fine.

Chu Liuchen didn’t doubt Shao Wanru, but he didn’t like Wen Xichi, who wasn’t being clear and didn’t want to be clear about it.

In the past, he thought that Wen Xichi was a figure, but now he felt very annoyed by him. He wouldn’t let him get close to Zhuozhuo so as not to cause any trouble.

Shao Wanru knew that he was thick-skinned, but she didn’t expect him to be so thick-skinned as to point at his face, hinting at her kissing him. She reached out to pinch his face.

But she didn’t expect to be pushed over to the bed by Chu Liuchen, who kissed her directly and made her overwhelmed. In the end, she was held in Chu Liuchen’s arms with her hands and feet aching.

“How about I ask a supervisor to own this shop?” Chu Liuchen held Shao Wanru with satisfaction and asked beside her ear with a smile.

Shao Wanru kicked him hard and said, “No; people will still connect it with you!”

“Then you should have someone in your shop to give some benefits to the supervisor of my mansion!” Chu Liuchen reached out to hold Shao Wanru’s feet and pinched them.

Shao Wanru hurriedly pulled back her feet and struggled to get rid of his big hands. Her face was as red as blood. She gasped for breath and said, “What... what do you mean?”

She was afraid that he would mess around again, so she held his waist tightly with both hands so that he could not move again.

Chu Liuchen felt very comfortable in this way, so he stopped messing with Shao Wanru and said, “It’s not easy for the shops without any background to survive in the capital city. Or they could give some benefits to a person with a powerful background. There are many shops like this in the capital city!”

“If I give some benefits to the supervisor of your mansion, can he deal with some small matters?” Shao Wanru thought for a moment and said. She had never encountered such a thing before.

“Yes, but just for small matters!” Chu Liuchen said.

Shao Wanru rolled her watery eyes and immediately understood the meaning beyond his words. There indeed would only be small matters. Even if Chu Liuyue suspected her Butterfly Clothing Shop, he didn’t dare to make a big deal out of it, in case Prince Yue’s Mansion got involved at that time. As for the matter of Wei Dahai, he didn’t dare to make a big deal out of it, so it would be a small matter!

It was easy to deal with a small matter; if it was a sneaky scheme, she could deal with it through other means.

At least they could muddle through it. Although it seemed that the shop had something to do with Prince Chen’s Mansion, but the connection was thin, and it was right for Chu Liuchen to say that he didn’t know about it. After all, the person involved was a supervisor of the mansion.

“Okay, I’ll give some benefits to the supervisor!” Shao Wanru said with a smile and nodded. This was a good idea. The connection between the shop and Prince Chen’s Mansion was very thin.

“You’d better give those benefits to me. Give me some first. I heard that you’ve got plenty of them!” Chu Liuchen teased.

“No, I don’t have any!” Shao Wanru said coquettishly and rolled her eyes.

“You definitely have. Let me search for them!” Chu Liuchen pressed Shao Wanru on his body and reached out to search her body. Shao Wanru burst into laughter, struggled to roll on the bed, and shouted, “You... you get down, get down now!”

“No. I’m going to search for my princess’s money...” Chu Liuchen said shamelessly.

The two of them messed around on the bed...

Chu Liuchen left in the morning the next day. Shao Wanru sent him to the gate and watched the carriages go out one by one, with Chu Liuchen’s carriage at the forefront.

Qin Huaiyong rode on the horse and followed Chu Liuchen’s carriage. Commandery Prince Qing also rode on the horse and guarded the carriage. They were followed by other members of the mission.

They were also carrying a large number of knitting products, medicines and beautiful porcelains.

These were all gifts brought by the mission.

Shao Wanru stood on the city wall, watched the line slowly leave the city and bit her lip. She already missed Chu Liuchen before he went far away.

Although Chu Liuchen had recovered, he was not in good health. Even though he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, he still needed to be taken care of. Shao Wanru was very worried about him going to Xu State in Nan Jiang.

But since Chu Liuchen had made up his mind, she would not object! She would be there for him!

No matter what would happen in the future, she would be there for him till the end. In her last life, they had been separated, but in this life, they would never let go of each other’s hands.

She did not care about the bloody scene in her dream. She was willing to accompany Chu Liuchen into the blood sea.

Having witnessed her last life in the dream, she became colder and crueler than ordinary women.

She would repay kindness with kindness and repay injury with injury. She would not repay injury with kindness.

“Princess, let’s go down. The Prince has left!” Yujie said to Shao Wanru, who was standing on the top of the city wall. There was only a shadow of the envoy team, so they couldn’t see anyone clearly. The wind on top of the city wall was getting stronger and rustling the cloak.

“Princess, let’s go down. It’s too windy here!” Qu Le also said.

Shao Wanru reluctantly turned back her gaze, sighed softly, and nodded. There was no good for her to stay any longer. She just hoped that he could come back safely as soon as possible.

Two servant girls helped Shao Wanru down from the city wall. When she just put her feet on the ground, she suddenly heard a voice. “Princess Chen?”

Shao Wanru turned her head and saw Wen Xichi in an official’s robe. She blinked her watery eyes, and then bowed and said, “Greetings, Lord Wen!”

“What was Princess Chen doing up there?” Wen Xichi looked up at the high city wall and asked.

“Princess is seeing our Prince off. She can see it more clearly from the top of the city wall!” Yujie answered.

“Lord Wen, what’s the matter?” Shao Wanru looked at Wen Xichi calmly and asked. Wen Xichi was not among the officials who saw Prince Chen off just now, so it was a little strange for Wen Xichi, who was dressed in an official’s robe, to show up at this time.

“Princess Chen, can we talk in private?” Wen Xichi pointed at a teahouse across the street and said, “There is a case that involves you, so I want to ask you something!”

Wen Xichi’s words were very polite, and he was also well-mannered. He stepped aside with a smile on his face, which made Shao Wanru unable to refuse him!
