TFWYH – Chapter 648 Extremely Eye-Catching

Tang Wan’s eyes darted around curiously, looking at this person and then that one, as she whispered into Ling Yu’s ear:

“So the girl in purple we met at Drunken Immortal Pavilion is actually Princess Yong’an. No wonder she was so arrogant. And that scholar is actually Yu Ziqing’s younger brother!”

Ling Yu raised a brow.

“Scared?”

“Not really,” Tang Wan replied. “I just think the capital is full of nobles. You bump into one at every turn.”

Ling Yu said calmly:

“As long as you’re not afraid, that’s fine. Do you still remember Wei Gao, the former magistrate of Xiangxi Town, and Madam Wei?”

Tang Wan nodded.

“You mean Madam Wei is Marquis Yong’an’s eldest daughter? I remember. I also paid attention to Marquis Yong’an — he’s been glaring at me ever since I came in. He’s probably thinking about how to deal with me.”

“When soldiers come, use generals to stop them; when floodwaters come, use earth to block them. This is the palace. As long as you don’t step out of line, he won’t dare do anything to you,” Ling Yu said meaningfully.

Tang Wan understood immediately and stopped paying attention to Marquis Yong’an, continuing to eat calmly.

She understood these套路 perfectly. Wasn’t this just a case of “after dealing with the young one, the old one shows up”?

She believed she had never done anything wrong to Madam Wei. On the contrary, she had saved both her and her son. It was Madam Wei who repaid kindness with hostility, trying to force her daughter onto her beautiful husband!

So Tang Wan believed she was completely in the right.

Forget the older generation showing up — even if all eighteen generations of their ancestors crawled out of the ground, she still wouldn’t be afraid!

While Tang Wan and Ling Yu whispered among themselves, things weren’t peaceful over on Huangfu Yi’s side either.

If he remembered correctly, Huangfu Rong’an was still supposed to be confined, wasn’t she?

So why had she entered the palace?

When Huangfu Rong’an obediently came and sat behind him, Huangfu Yi turned around and directly asked:

“Who allowed you out?”

Huangfu Rong’an shrank her neck slightly and carefully replied:

“Father, today is New Year’s Eve. Brother and I should naturally attend. Brother is badly injured and can’t get out of bed, so how could I also be absent?”

Huangfu Yi sneered.

“I asked who allowed you out. Your mother consort?”

Huangfu Rong’an bit her lip and nodded.

“I begged Mother for a long time before she reluctantly agreed.”

“So Third Brother was right. The Second Prince’s estate really ought to change its surname to Gu.”

Huangfu Yi let out a cold laugh and stopped looking at his daughter altogether.

He, Huangfu Yi — a dignified prince — could no longer even make decisions in his own household.

From the masters to the servants, everyone obeyed Gu Yanshuang without question.

And the more it was like this, the more Huangfu Yi felt that Gu Yanshuang had ulterior motives.

According to his subordinates, Gu Yanshuang had also been interacting closely with the First Prince’s Consort recently.

What exactly was that woman trying to do?

Huangfu Yi narrowed his eyes dangerously…

But Huangfu Rong’an didn’t think that deeply. She simply felt relieved that she had passed the test — her father had allowed her to stay.

Actually, she hadn’t wanted to come at first.

But she wanted to see Ji Wushuang!

It was New Year’s Eve today, so he would definitely be on duty in the palace.

Just as Huangfu Rong’an was thinking about him, Ji Wushuang walked in and took his place not far from the Emperor, standing tall and upright, looking every bit the outstanding young man.

Yet his gaze never once landed on her.

Instead, he stared toward a certain direction, his eyes filled with a complicated emotion she had never seen before…

Huangfu Rong’an followed Ji Wushuang’s line of sight and saw Tang Wan, happily stuffing her face with food.

A beauty truly was a beauty. Even while eating like a hamster with her cheeks puffed out and no table manners whatsoever, she still looked lively, radiant, playful, and adorable.

Of course, Huangfu Rong’an would never admit Tang Wan looked cute. She only found her unbearably irritating, and a deep sense of panic rose in her heart.

Why was Ji Wushuang staring at that woman?

Had he fallen for her?

At that thought, Huangfu Rong’an wanted nothing more than to rush over and scratch up Tang Wan’s seductive fox-spirit face.
