"She's here!"
"Look!"
"You all look!"
"Soon we'll see the pitiful Yun Shu thrown out!"
Yan Qi and the others immediately craned their necks towards the entrance of the General's mansion.
Their hearts pounded.
They were so eager to see Yun Shu ruined!
"Just you wait, Yun Shu's true face will be revealed now! To dare to disguise herself? Now the entire capital will see how hideous Yun Shu truly is!" Yun Ying gritted her teeth in hatred, completely unconcerned about how ferocious her expression became as she spoke.
The people gathered outside the General's mansion were stunned when they saw the carriage.
This carriage...
"Isn't this the same carriage that picked up the young lady before?"
"Yes, look, it's the same carriage that picked up the young lady!"
"Master, it is indeed that carriage, but why did it return on its own? Is the young lady inside?" the people outside asked with confusion.
Upon hearing it was the carriage that had picked up Yun Shu, Yun Changfeng stepped forward without hesitation.
His tightly clenched fists suddenly loosened.
One hand reached for the long sword at his waist.
"Who is in the carriage?" he questioned in a deep voice.
Before anyone in the carriage could answer.
Suddenly, Qiu Lu, riding a swift horse, arrived and stopped before the General's mansion.
"General Yun, I, your humble subordinate, have come specifically to convey a matter."
Yun Changfeng looked at Qiu Lu. "Guard Qiu, what is it?"
"Someone intends to disfigure the Second Miss Yun, wishing to reveal her true face. Please be cautious, General Yun." After speaking, Qiu Lu skillfully mounted his horse again.
He had merely overheard the news and stopped by to offer a warning.
However.
What about this carriage?
"True face?" The General frowned.
Seeing the General's suddenly cold and stern gaze, Qiu Lu understood that the General would absolutely not believe the rumors circulating outside.
But, the wind was strong, and there had been action. The Second Miss Yun might indeed have been disfigured.
"Yes," Qiu Lu replied with a single word, then prepared to ride away.
From the teahouse above, Yan Qi and Li Yuexian were very surprised when they saw Qiu Lu.
Li Yuexian, in particular, stared intently at Qiu Lu.
Yan Qi looked at Li Yuexian. "Isn't that guard one of the Night King's guards? Why did he suddenly come to the General's mansion?"
"I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps the Night King has something to ask General Yun," Li Yuexian said, biting her lip, feeling a bit uneasy. Could it be that the Night King had developed some feelings for Yun Shu?
Outside the General's mansion, Qiu Lu, now mounted on his horse, clasped his hands at Yun Changfeng. "General Yun, your humble subordinate takes his leave!"
He needed to return to the prince's mansion quickly to report to the prince.
He had investigated Xiao Jing thoroughly, but Xiao Jing seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
If she truly appeared out of nowhere, it meant Xiao Jing indeed had secrets.
But...
Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.
A pair of fair, jade-like hands controlled the carriage curtain.
Then, a voice from inside the carriage inquired.
"Guard Qiu said someone wants to see my true face?"
The woman's voice betrayed no emotion.
But it made Yun Changfeng, whose heart was in his throat, widen his eyes. "Shu'er!"
Shu'er was really in the carriage!
Qiu Lu was startled. "Second Miss Yun?"
Didn't the news say the Second Miss Yun had been taken away?
Suddenly, Qiu Lu remembered the recent hunting day.
Had the Second Miss Yun once again weathered the storm and emerged unscathed?!
"Why do you look at me as if you've seen a ghost?" Yun Shu asked with a smile, stepping down from the carriage at the same time.
