Chapter 461: Little Crybaby, Beautiful and Charming, The Rugged Man Pampers His Wife and Teases Her 11_3
The transition from "Little Imperial Uncle" to "Uncle" is quite fascinating in its diversity.
Seeing Ji Xiaoyuan's expression as colorful as a palette, she also laughed.
The Brothel Owner always felt something was amiss.
Originally, when she saw Su Zhiruan, she thought she could catch her in the act, after all, she was much prettier than Hong Xiu. But later, after the ransom was paid, they left with Hong Xiu.
She thought it was a win-win situation, but in reality, it was like the cooked duck flew away, losing both the Madam and the soldiers.
Yet the facts gave her a slap in the face.
And when she thought of complaining to the county magistrate, she found the magistrate dared not even bring it up because this person might not be simple.
Upon hearing the Brothel Owner's statement, the county magistrate immediately had a deep discussion with his aides.
"... Don't listen to her, if it's someone with the surname Ji, we must be extremely cautious about that."
"Sir, news has spread before that the Third Prince loves to travel around, it might just be the incognito Third Prince!"
"Makes sense." The county magistrate confirmed decisively.
Hong Xiu didn't hesitate and said directly, "Go to the capital of the Wang Dynasty to find my cousin."
"So what about you, sir, what is your purpose for this trip?" Su Zhiruan looked at the Third Prince.
"This gentleman looks quite noble, surely from a wealthy place." Ji Xiaoyuan's gaze lightly fell on him, causing the Third Prince to shiver somewhat. Then, Ji Xiaoyuan continued, "Sigh, it's time to write a letter home."
When he said this, his gaze was fixated directly on the Third Prince.
Even without saying it, it was obvious he did it on purpose.
"... Yes," the poor Third Prince gritted his teeth, afraid that Ji Xiaoyuan would write a letter to his father, setting the arranged marriage in stone.
"I also need to return to the royal capital!!" The Third Prince practically spat out the words one by one, but he was helpless.
Mainly due to bloodline and seniority constraints.
In terms of age, Ji Xiaoyuan was only a few years older than him, so ultimately they were peers.
But when it came to seniority, Ji Xiaoyuan was clearly the Little Imperial Uncle.
Even though the Eldest Prince was a year older than Ji Xiaoyuan, with their father and Ji Xiaoyuan sharing the same parents, he still had to respectfully call him Little Imperial Uncle.
"Isn't it a coincidence that you both intend to return to the royal capital," Su Zhiruan chuckled, "If that's the case, why don't the two of you travel together."
The Third Prince glanced at Ji Xiaoyuan and said weakly, "If Miss Hong Xiu is unwilling..."
"I am willing," Hong Xiu gazed at Su Zhiruan with a deep, sorrowful look, as if she were a heartless man who betrayed love, finally shedding tears, "Sister~ Whatever you want Hong Xiu to do, Hong Xiu is willing."
"Alright, you two should set off soon." The more Ji Xiaoyuan thought about it, the less right it felt.
He had thought Hong Xiu was sticking close to Miss Ruan Ruan simply because of an instinctive closeness of young ladies, but those words surprisingly gave him a strange feeling of... jealousy.
He was best at controlling the enemy's mindset in battle.
But this time, through his analysis, he reached a relatively absurd conclusion, which was that Hong Xiu liked Miss Ruan Ruan as well.
He hurriedly urged the Third Prince and Hong Xiu to set off promptly. "Since that's the case, you should depart soon and return to the capital city as early as possible."
"Goodbye, Uncle." The Third Prince lifted the curtain and shouted "Uncle," causing Su Zhiruan to burst into laughter.
