Chapter 269 - Xiao Yechen’s Feelings
The coachman quickly drove the carriage off which attracted the attention of the crowd. Someone in the crowd called out, “Hey, isn’t that the carriage of the Yun family? Do you think the eldest young miss is in it?”historical
Immediately after someone said that, the crowd looked over curiously as if Yun Qianyu was some kind of celebrity.
In the carriage, Ye Jia looked at Yun Qianyu and said, “Feather, you’ve been through a lot.”
Hearing the words from the crowd, Ye Jia knew that Yun Qianyu did not have it good and felt sad about it.
Yun Qianyu knew what Ye Jia was thinking about and said to her while holding her hand, “Cousin, it’s all in the past. We’ll be fine from now on.”
“Yeah.”
Ye Jia nodded and finally smiled.
The carriage soon stopped in front of the Baiyao store. Originally, Yun Qianyu was worried that a crowd would appear again. Fortunately, there weren’t many people at the entrance of the Baiyao store. Feeling relieved, Yun Qianyu got down from the carriage with Ye Jia.
As soon as they had exited the carriage and walked a few steps, they heard the sound of horse gallops behind them. Soon enough the horse came into view behind them and the rider quickly got off his horse and ran straight to Yun Qianyu. Waving his hands, the person greeted Yun Qianyu with a bright smile upon seeing her.
“Feather.”
The person was none other than Xiao Yechen, the An Prince. Xiao Yechen had originally planned to go back to the west camp. However, when he thought about Xiao Jiuyuan’s warning that he should not be with Feather, Xiao Yechen’s heart felt very uncomfortable and he had the urge to see Yun Qianyu.
For some reason, he wanted to find out whether Feather had feelings for Xiao Jiuyuan and whether she wanted to marry him. If Feather had no feelings for Xiao Jiuyuan, then he would fight with his ninth imperial uncle. Xiao Yechen did not believe that he would lose out to Xiao Jiuyuan even if he was less powerful and less wealthy. He believed that these things went beyond wealth and power.
‘But what if Feather has no feelings for me either?’ Xiao Yechen felt sad even if this was just a fleeting thought.
Although Xiao Yechen had a smile on his face, he was a little sad, thus the smile on his face seemed somewhat forced. This made Yun Qianyu worried as she thought that he was ill.
“Xiao Yechen, is something wrong? You don’t look too good. Are you sick?”
Hearing Yun Qianyu’s concern for him, Xiao Yechen’s heart suddenly felt a sense of hope. A touch of joy filled his heart, which made his smile a tad brighter.
Yun Qianyu didn’t notice this, but Ye Jia who was next to her couldn’t help but notice it. ‘Does His Highness An Prince like my cousin? How can that be? Cousin is now the future princess consort of Li Prince. It’s another matter if Cousin ultimately doesn’t marry His Highness Li Prince, but she’s currently Li Prince’s woman. Is An Prince trying to get my cousin from Li Prince?’
As Ye Jia was thinking about it, Xiao Yechen went to Yun Qianyu’s side and said gently, “I’m fine. I was heading back to the west camp but thought I’d pay you a visit first. I went to your residence, but you weren’t there. After finding out you came here, I came here to find you.”
In fact, Xiao Yechen had sneaked into the Black Bamboo Pavilion to find her. When Hua Mei saw Xiao Yechen, she told him that Yun Qianyu had gone out to get some herbs. Hearing this, Xiao Yechen immediately guessed that Yun Qianyu must have gone to the Baiyao store.
Hua Mei didn’t hesitate to give him the information because she felt that Xiao Yechen was a good fit for Yun Qianyu.
Yun Qianyu, after listening to Xiao Yechen, nodded and said, “That’s right, I came here to buy some herbs. I didn’t expect you would come to find me.”
Yun Qianyu paused for a moment then continued, “Shouldn’t you be heading to the west camp to continue your training? Your family really is counting on you to become powerful.”
