The Xilin County Lord’s eyes showed panic: “You lowly commoners, do you know who I am? Do you know that the Prince of Chu is my cousin?”
Rustling sounds came from the small bamboo forest path, and a tall, handsome man appeared.
Qin Yuhang smiled at the man: “Big Senior Brother, someone is claiming kinship with you.”
At last year’s county magistrate Wang Dequan’s birthday banquet, the Xilin County Lord had seen Huangfu Zeuan once, having some impression of this heroic-looking man.
“Who are you?” The Xilin County Lord had a bad feeling.
Ye Hui lifted her long dress, slowly walking a few steps, her long eyelashes gently moving: “Esteemed County Lord, didn’t you claim to be his cousin? How come you don’t recognize him when you meet?”
“The Prince of Chu?” The Xilin County Lord was dazed.
“Yes, he’s my husband. We met at the county magistrate’s birthday banquet last year, where you greeted us with your nose. Although we saw each other again last autumn, you were quite arrogant.”
“What do you want? Don’t forget, my father is also a prince.”
“Your father can barely save himself,” Huangfu Zeuan said impatiently.
At this moment, Facai gathered a group of sect members, using ropes to tie up the warriors who had lost their fighting capacity.
Qin Yuhang’s face was cold. He broke a section of bamboo, flicking it with his fingertip to hit the Xilin County Lord’s soft acupoint, instructing Facai: “Tie her up too.”
Facai laughed grimly, showing no mercy. She tightly bound the Xilin County Lord, the ropes deeply embedded in her skin.
Ye Hui shook her head, thinking Facai didn’t know how to be gentle. Nevermind. She held onto her two husbands, with Mochi and Li Weichen following behind as they left the bamboo forest.
Ye Hui lulled her son to sleep, instructed the wet nurse to take care of him, and walked towards the study. Arriving at the door, she lifted it slightly ajar and saw Huangfu Ze sitting at the desk, processing official documents, his brow furrowed as if pondering something important.
Even with this slight movement, he heard her, turned his head, saw her, and was about to stand up. Ye Hui smiled softly, “My dear, continue working.” She did not enter to disturb him and quietly retreated.
