Chapter 621 Embarking on the Return Journey

“An explanation? I’m afraid that no matter how hard he tries, his explanation can’t take the edge off of the Crown Prince’s anger. Actually, my dear, you should know that the Xiao Family has been crazily looking for the young master of their family. If the Crown Prince knows the young master’s whereabouts, no doubt, he would trade it to get credit from the Xiao Family.”

Qinghu raised his eyebrows, but there was an indifferent look on his face.

His sweetheart wasn’t a girl who would swallow bitter pills. Naturally, she had her own plans for this.

Probably, he made all the fuss because he was old.

“If he wants to, he can go and take all the credit. It’s a great deal for him if he uses his thick-skinned brother-in-law to get that credit.”

Could the Crown Prince be in a position to get honors when Lin Mengya left? He wished!

As a matter of fact, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu had worked together and set up traps for the Crown Prince’s stupid brother-in-law.

Only one night later, the news came from Li Jia, saying that the vice commander had been put into military jail and the Crown Prince would process this case by himself.

However, Lin Mengya wouldn’t let the Crown Prince have any chance. She made that good-for-nothing die in bed, stopping him from doing evil.

Of course, Baili Wuchen was furious. However, a lot of people followed Xiao Yixin to kneel down outside his tent, chorusing, “Baili Wuchen is a judicious judge who will bring us justice.”

Thus, he had no choice but to take the blame.

It seemed that things went smoothly in the refugee camp. Xiao Yixin was competent.

She didn’t have to worry about it for the time being. As long as Long Tianyu came back from Luoshui Town, they could set off for the Capital City.

Five days passed in a twinkling. Lin Mengya had been hoping to get some news about Long Tianyu.

Moyan had recuperated from the side-effect of tranquilizers after some days.

The little guy became lively and cheerful. With a pair of black eyes, he was always curious to know something about the world which was a little strange to him.

To Lin Mengya’s surprise, Qinghu was good at taking care of children.

In the beginning, it was difficult for him, but later, he should get the hang of babysitting. He could change the diapers and feed him. Actually, he was even better than her in doing these things.

Every time Lin Mengya felt curious about his personal affairs and tries to extract something from him, Qinghu remained as mute as a fish and always evaded her questions. He mentioned nothing about his related experience.

Of course, Lin Mengya knew Qinghu did it on purpose to trick her.

On the thought of her own baby she would have in the future, she felt relieved, because she knew that she could resort to Ms. Tian and Qinghu for help.

Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and looked at Qinghu with a smile. She was thinking about how to use Qinghu’s babysitting skill to the maximum.

Qinghu felt a shiver running down his spine when he saw her sparkling eyes.

He would be used by her the whole life.

“My Lady, there’s news from the prince. They’ll be back in three days.”

Lin Mengya turned around and looked at the messenger who was kneeling respectfully in front of her. It was a load off her mind.

In the past few days, she got no news from Long Tianyu and his followers. Actually, she was really worried that something bad would happen to Long Tianyu.

However, since they would come back three days later, everything was fine.

“Thank you. I get it. By the way, is he safe?”

The messenger nodded his head politely.

Although she knew he was safe and sound from the news, yet she was still worried about him. She hoped that everything would go with plans.

Three days weren’t long. However, it was long and rough for her, as she was sick with worry.

It was fine for her in the daytime. She could enjoy the beauty of floating clouds and the tender blade of grass while holding Moyan with arms. Also, she could pick up a wild yellow flower to tickle Moyan to giggle.

However, it was so hard for her at night. She would toss and turn in her bed as the night set in.

This night, she got up and sat on the steps to the door. Covering with her clothes, she sat there gazing at the full moon glimmering with pale lights.

Actually, judging from the days she spent here, her separation with Long Tianyu wasn’t a long time.

Back then, she and Long Tianyu didn’t hit it off at the beginning, but after some hardships, or...

Perhaps, the saying that love grew with time was an exact conclusion for the development of their love.

“You haven’t slept yet? Are you missing your lover? It’s true that when a girl grows up, she will have some attention on some guy. I’ve only been away for a few days, and now you’re starting to miss the other guy?”

Here was woman-like bellyaching! She could know who was talking without any guesses.

A warm and soft cloak fell on her shoulders. Then, a knot was tied around her neck by lean and nimble fingers.

In face of Qinghu’s angry look, she couldn’t help joking at him.

“That’s right. A grown girl is always out of mother’s control, Dad!”

Qinghu looked at her in shock. Then, he immediately changed a bitter look on his face as if he had heartaches.

“I’m not that old. Obviously, I’m younger than you. Well, I could give you a favor. You may call me big brother. Come on, sweetheart, call me Brother Qinghu.”

How brazen he was! She rolled her eyes at Qinghu. He had his age, and how shameless he was to claim to be young!

Qinghu had to let Lin Mengya go after receiving the cold shoulder. Then he picked a seat next to her and sat on the steps too.

To be honest, in his heart, he really wanted her and Moyan to live here forever under his protection.

Although the Capital City was prosperous, there were too many dangers for her.

All of these should have nothing to do with her and she should have a peaceful and sweet life.

“Qinghu, it’s so nice here, quiet and idyllic. Although it’s not as luxurious as the Liuxin Courtyard, I like it better.”

Qinghu was stunned for a moment because he thought that he had been seen through again.

However, Lin Mengya just gazed at the full moon with a faraway look and she did not spare a look at him.

There was a light smile on Qinghu’s lips. It seemed that they were of one mind.

“I always have a bad feeling and this feeling is particularly strong these days. In fact, since we returned from the Nation of Lintian, I had felt a little uneasy. I hope I’m just making a fuss.”

However, she knew better than anyone else that this was definitely not just her illusion.

Perhaps it was because her soul traveled from another world. She may be more sensitive about some dangers than anyone else.

But now, there was a lot of danger lurking around her. She had no idea why she had these dreadful feelings.

“No matter what happens, you won’t be in danger. Well, don’t over-think it. Your lover will come back one day later. By then, you and he will live together, won’t you?”

Qinghu’s badinage had dispelled some uneasiness in her heart.

Qinghu was right. If everything was OK, Long Tianyu would come back tomorrow. Perhaps when Long Tianyu and she returned to the Capital City, the uneasiness in her heart would gradually fade away.

After all, she had no time to grieve over the current situation in the Capital City.

The long chatting with Qinghu didn’t end until dawn. Then, she fell into a deep sleep.

As soon as she had a dream, there came a din from outside.

She rubbed her sore temples. Before she could get a clear mind, Qinghu rushed to her room with the tightly wrapped Moyan in his arms.

“Be quiet. Let’s go!”

Qinghu didn’t have time to explain. She immediately got up and followed Qinghu to come out of that small yard.

It was strange. Apart from a small horse-towed carriage, she didn’t see any one of close bodyguards, like Li Jia.

Could it be that they had been discovered?

Lin Mengya didn’t have time to give it a thought. She quickly got on the carriage.

Before she could sit down, the horse clip-clopped along the road. She sat in the carriage and held Moyan tightly. She became edgy at that time.

Could it be that something bad had happened to Long Tianyu?

She got a heavy heart. Surprisingly, those that she was afraid of had happened.

What happened to Long Tianyu? Was he seriously injured? In an instant, many kinds of guesses came to her mind.

However, there was a big question mark over everything.

The horse-towed carriage was manipulative and horses were cavorting forward on the country’s path.

No one could tell how long it was since they left that small yard; neither could one tell how far it was from the yard. These horses then ground to a halt.

“Mengya, we’re here. Get out of the carriage quickly.”

Qinghu said that with a calm tone.

However, Lin Mengya was a little anxious. She opened the door curtain and then she was nailed to the ground as if she had been struck by thunder.

“Come down, we are going home.”

It was a deep voice that seemed to be mixed with much passion and affection.

The next second, Lin Mengya was held by a pair of strong arms.

“I... you...”

“He’s fine. That’s great.”

Long Tianyu carried her into another horse-towed carriage gently and firmly as if he were holding a baby. She was so focused that she didn’t notice the hidden disappointment in Qinghu’s eyes.

“I’m fine. It’s just that there was an accident and those bad eggs knew my whereabouts. That’s why I asked Qinghu to bring you here. I’m sorry that you have been frightened.”

Long Tianyu gently comforted her. He then extricated the struggling Moyan from her arms in the same gentle way.

“Are you really OK? Did you get hurt?”

Subconsciously, she wanted to check if there were any wounds on Long Tianyu.

However, the moment her hand reached Long Tianyu’s chest, an awkward cough sounded.

Having been startled, she saw the onlookers who were embarrassed to death.

Even if she was a rebellious girl, she couldn’t help blushing.

Her plan of undressing Long Tianyu to check went out of the window.

“It’s fine. Let’s continue when we get back to our home.”

historical

Long Tianyu said it calmly, but the people around him got blushed faces.

Good heavens! Was he still the scheming and cold-blooded prince of their family? Should they listen to the sweet nothings between the prince and the lady?

No matter how harsh it was to be here, the journey to home was easier.

Because of what had happened just now, she felt that she was too ashamed to meet others. Therefore, she had to hold Moyan and stayed in the carriage like a coward.

On the contrary, Long Tianyu, went out in a good mood to assign tasks to his men.
