So upon hearing her question, he shot a dagger-like glance her way.
Dongyang couldnāt help muttering, "Why are you mad at me? Crazy! I didnāt ask you to hold back."
The words were just loud enough for Mu Shaoling to catch them clearly.
Mu Shaoling couldnāt help but scoff inwardly. Is this really a woman? Not asking him to hold back? Did that mean he shouldnāt restrain himself and could actually do something bad?
He deeply felt that if he didnāt do something, he wouldnāt even be acting like a man, since this was basically an invitation, right?
Thus, Mu Shaoling suddenly reached out and pulled, and the Commandery Princess Dongyang fell into his arms.
"Ah!"
That scream!
Instantly, the idea that Mu Shaoling had about doing something vanished. He pushed Dongyang away fiercely and said, "I want to let you know, once weāre in the Capital City, the Emperor will arrange things for you. Afterward, you stay away from me, got it? If I catch you looking for me again, the poison I used on those two today will end up in you."
Upon hearing this, Dongyang rolled her eyes, thinking how many times she had heard this āstay away from meā spiel from yesterday until now. It was seriously lacking in originality.
"Are you listening to me? Did you hear that?"
"Heard it, heard it! So naggy, how many times do you need to say it?" Dongyang waved her hand dismissively, thinking to herself, say what you want, itās my legs that carry me, can you really stop me?
When they reached the next town, Luo Linhao and Mu Shaofeng, who had fallen behind the main group, finally caught up.
At first glance, the two men didnāt seem much different, but upon closer observation, one could see their necks were redder and slightly swollen, and the backs of their exposed hands bore several scratches.
They even scratched themselves while walking into the inn.
This behavior caused quite a few people to glance sideways at them.
"Brother Shaoling, give me the antidote!"
"What antidote?"
Mu Shaoling feigned ignorance perfectly.
"Brother Shaoling, if you donāt give me the antidote, watch out. Iāll write to Yangshu Village and broadcast loudly what happened between certain individuals. Donāt think Iām unaware of your little schemes. I..." Before he could finish, his foot was stepped on by Mu Shaofeng.
Out of all the topics, this little brat had to bring up the most troublesome one today.
Everyone knew about his little schemes, so why mention it out loud and dig your own grave?
"Why are you stepping on me? Weāre all our own people here, no oneās going to spread it around."
Dongyang overheard their conversation and asked with a chuckle, "Young man, what is Yangshu Village? Why write a letter there? Is your sweetheart in Yangshu Village, Mu Shaoling?"
"Cough cough..." Mu Shaofeng choked a bit, thinking canāt this girl ask her questions not so bluntly?
Mu Shaoling ignored Dongyang but pulled out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve and tossed it over.
He snorted, "Watch your mouth. If you talk nonsense, I donāt mind turning you into a mute."
Luo Linhao knew to take the hint. After getting the medicine, he immediately said, "What did I say just now? What Yangshu Village? I was talking about Shit Village."
"Shut up, isnāt it disgusting? Hurry up and eat so we can get on the road."
Dongyang laughed at this, thinking sheās not foolish. They could pretend she hadnāt heard anything, but if they didnāt tell her, she would simply find a way to ask again in the Capital City.
So even though Luo Linhao didnāt say anything there and then, Yang Chuxia, still in Funan, did receive a letter.
~~~~
Holding the letter in her hand, Yang Chuxia looked utterly baffled. Commandery Princess Dongyang? What the hell?
Where did this Commandery Princess come from, and when did she become acquainted with one?
Upon opening and reading the letter, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
