Going to the Capital to Find Him
Chapter 726 Going to the Capital to Find Him
For the entire afternoon, Hong Xiaoduo was absent-minded. During dinner, she was also frequently distracted, only picking up the dish in front of her with her chopsticks. If Feiyan, who was sitting next to her, hadn't been quick-witted, she would have picked up the vinegar dish as a wine cup and drunk from it.
"Xiao Duo, didn't Lord Luo say that Prince Mu didn't agree to marry that Ninth Princess? If you're really worried, why don't you ask someone from Duobao Pavilion?" Fei Yan whispered to Hong Xiao Duo.
Feiyan thought Hong Xiaoduo would politely say, "Who's worried?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Hong Xiaoduo did not say anything insincere.
Instead, he looked at her very seriously, thought for a moment, and said, "Hmm, let me think about it carefully."
Hong Xiaoduo's reaction surprised Fei Yan, who blurted out, "Are you admitting that you also have feelings for him, that you like him too?"
"Yes, I agree." Hong Xiaoduo readily nodded in agreement.
Fei Yan looked at Hong Xiaoduo and saw that she didn't feel shy at all, but then she thought that with her carefree personality, it wasn't surprising.
As for Hong Xiaoduo, after admitting to Feiyan that she liked Murong Jing, she suddenly laughed.
If you like Murong Jing, just go find him. It's that simple. Why are you making such a fuss about it?
She turned around and looked at the several figures following not far away, then called out, "Shall we go shopping?"
Instantly, a chorus of "Great!"s followed.
Yu City is quite large, and although it cannot compare to the prosperity of the capital, it is still quite nice.
"What's wrong with her? She's been absent-minded all afternoon." Quan Jinghuai looked at Hong Xiaoduo, who was happily looking around with several children, and asked Feiyan with great curiosity.
"I don't know either, well..." Fei Yan whispered her conversation with Hong Xiaoduo to Brother Quan. Anyway, they were all family, so it should be fine.
After listening, Quan Jinghuai remained silent for a moment before saying, "Forget it, let's not speculate anymore. She's a woman of principle."
Upon hearing this, Fei Yan nodded in agreement.
That evening, after returning to her room, Hong Xiaoduo entered her spatial dimension. She remembered the exchange system that Old Man Luo had set up for her, which contained a horse-drawn carriage that could travel at a speed of 120 miles per hour.
That evening, when she confessed to Fei Yan that she had feelings for Murong Jing and liked him, she made a decision to go to the capital to find him.
If it weren't for the fact that Tian Shu's mother's eyes require treatment from the doctor in the space, she would have set off today.
With two days left, Hong Xiaoduo wanted to check if the exchange system was still working, and if the carriage inside was still there. If it was, she would also need to check the driver's manual.
When she originally planned to stay, she thought that things with Murong Jing would develop naturally. She thought that if they were truly destined to meet, they would meet again in the future, and if he asked her for her opinion then, she would agree to his request.
But this afternoon, after hearing what Tian Shu's father said about the Ninth Princess of Yanxi Kingdom wanting to marry Murong Jing, Hong Xiaoduo still felt uneasy, even though she knew that Murong Jing had already rejected him.
Murong Jing was exceptional in appearance, character, knowledge, and family background, which naturally attracted the admiration of many women.
For Hong Xiaoduo, what is most valuable about Murong Jing is his attitude towards relationships, especially since he was born in ancient times but has never had a maid or concubine.
He actually fell in love with her, a woman who roamed the martial arts world and whose identity was unknown.
He didn't think at all that a woman her age shouldn't be showing her face in public, or that it was inappropriate for her to be with a man like Brother Quan all the time.
Therefore, Hong Xiaoduo decided not to let fate decide and would go to the capital to find him in person. She would ask him face-to-face whether, after marrying her, he would expect her to stay obediently in the mansion, managing the household affairs and raising children. She wanted to confirm this in person, and if he personally said no, she would not return the jade pendant to him.
The second and third days at Tian Shu's house were the two longest days for Hong Xiaoduo.
On the third day, acupuncture was performed on Tian Shu's mother. After the acupuncture was removed, the robot doctor removed the cloth strip covering Wen's eyes.
As Wen slowly opened her eyes, Hong Xiaoduo became extremely nervous.
Wen slowly raised her hands, looked at her fingers, and then slowly looked around. When she saw Hong Xiaoduo, she tentatively asked, "Young Lady Hong?"
"Yes, it's me, it's me. Madam, can you see me now?" Hong Xiaoduo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Suppressing her excitement, Madam Wen looked around again: "Young Lady Hong, where is the female doctor who treated me?"
"Oh, she's already left. Her identity is special, please forgive her, Madam," Hong Xiaoduo quickly explained.
"Oh dear, it's not that I'm being rude, it's just that I haven't thanked her in person yet," said Mrs. Wen, feeling very guilty.
"Oh, I see," Hong Xiaoduo quickly said. "We martial arts people don't care about these things. The reason she agreed to treat your eyes is partly because of my face, and the main reason is that she knows you are a good person."
Otherwise, no matter how much you promise her a consultation fee, she won't come.
"Now that your eyes are better, Madam, you must follow the instructions left by the female doctor. The diet and other things are all written here." After saying this, he handed a piece of paper to Madam Wen.
Wen agreed repeatedly, and Hong Xiaoduo gave her an encouraging look, watching her walk towards the door and watch her open the door with slightly trembling hands.
Because it had been told to the Luo family before that Wen's eyesight would be restored in about three days, even Censor Luo did not go to the government office today for treatment. Instead, he came with the old lady and the other two children who had rushed back after receiving the news.
After leaving the room, Hong Xiaoduo didn't pay attention to how surprised the Wen family was. She went straight to Quan Jinghuai and called Feiyan and the other children over.
"Well, I have something to tell you. I need to go to the capital. Will you wait for me at the Tian Shu family's place for now, and then we can go to the Tian Quan family's place together after I return?"
"Should you go to the Tianquan family first and wait for me there?" Hong Xiaoduo said directly.
"Are you going to see Prince Mu?" Quan Jinghuai asked directly.
Hong Xiaoduo did not deny it and nodded.
"Mom, can't you take us with you? We're very well-behaved now, and our big brother won't call us uncle anymore." Yao Guang tugged at Hong Xiaoduo's sleeve and pleaded.
The others weren't worried after hearing Hong Xiaoduo's words. She told them frankly that she would really come back.
Just going to the capital? That round trip will take at least two or three months, right?
We'll be apart for so long...
Thank you so much, dear jerrysheng, for the monthly pass! (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
