Li Of Gojoseon and Long Heng had already walked far away in anger. His woman was actually hiding something for someone else and not telling him the truth.
As someone who had spent many years in the military, he was extremely clear about right and wrong, distinguishing between friend and foe, and doing what was right and wrong.
His own people would never lie or hide anything from their own people, which was why he had such a reaction.
But after seeing his mother, he calmed down. The rear residence was different from the battlefield, and she wasn't his soldier. Moreover, she trusted him so much, so logically speaking, she shouldn't have hidden anything.
Just as he was doubting himself, he saw Song Jiaoyue come over with some people. He smiled as he walked over. "We've gone to see the old madame. My mother plans to leave tomorrow. What about you?"
"We also plan to do the same. It's so crowded today. Why don't we go back together tomorrow?" Long Heng nodded in response, but his brows didn't relax.
Song Jiaoyue could tell that he had something on his mind. "Is that madame's injury very serious?"
He waved his people away after he finished speaking. Even Long Heng's people felt that they had something to discuss and left.
"She's … fine!" Because the two of them were friends, Long Heng didn't think too much and told him the truth.
"Oh?
I didn't expect Miss Lin's older cousin to be such a rude person. Not only did he help his younger cousin act recklessly, he even injured Madame Xiu. "He didn't expect to see Long Heng standing still before he finished speaking, his eyes overflowing with killing intent.
"It's him?
How did he injure Xiu … that woman? "He didn't expect his friend to know the truth. He stopped walking and asked in detail.
Song Jiaoyue was startled. "Didn't you hear it last night?"
Long Heng was also stunned. Only now did he realize that he had been present when she had been injured last night.
But because he had been too agitated, he hadn't heard it. He couldn't help but panic. He coughed lightly and said, "I was in a hurry to go back, so I didn't hear it."
Song Jiaoyue didn't know what had happened to him last night, but he still told the truth about what had happened afterwards.
Long Heng combined what he had heard with what he had heard. It wasn't hard for him to guess that the woman had concealed her injury in order to restore Miss Lin's reputation.
If the news of her and her cousin secretly escaping were to spread, then her reputation would be completely ruined.
Running away from marriage and eloping were two completely different concepts!
"She's actually hiding the fact that she had been injured by a man for Miss Lin?" Song Jiaoyue's behavior was truly foolish, but she was very loyal.
Who would've thought that there would be such a loyal woman among women? Long Heng didn't know why, but he actually felt some admiration for her.
Since he'd misunderstood her, he had to think of a way to make up for it. Long Heng summoned a pageboy and was about to say something when he realized that his friend was still there. He swallowed his words and said, "Go see if Mistress Xiu is done. She hasn't paid her respects to the old madame yet!"
She!'s's's right, she.
But he couldn't take his words back.
How could Song Jiaoyue not guess what he was thinking? Seeing his stiff expression, he knew it wouldn't be good for him to stay any longer. He hurriedly said, "I'm also going to accompany my mother to recite scriptures. I'll be leaving first."
Once they were far away, he couldn't help but laugh. This friend of his was really awkward. Obviously, he wanted to show his concern, but he wanted her to go pay her respects.
If she really went, his heart would probably ache.
But when he thought about it, it was normal. Any man who had such a close female friend would probably feel heartache!
Obviously, she was injured, but she chose to conceal it in order to protect the face of the prince's estate and the Lin family. She had even been misunderstood by her own husband. This kind of girl was truly admirable.
Seeing Song Jiaoyue leave, Long Heng immediately wanted to stop his servant, but he found that the boy had already made a beeline for Bai shi's meditation room. He was surprisingly fast.
Usually, he wasn't this fast, but now he was diligent.
He furrowed his brows, and in a flash, he used his lightness skill to chase after her and pull her back. A group of young monks who were passing by were startled by his actions.
They had never seen someone run so fast. What if the wind blew away the things in their hands?
And the things that fell were food for the madams and misses in the courtyard.
The servant was shocked. What did he do to make the Prince so angry?
"No need to go." He let out a sigh of relief and let her rest.
But when he turned around, he saw the monks cleaning up the floor. He couldn't help but ask, "What is it?" It looked like it was just porridge and side dishes.
Who else in the courtyard hadn't eaten? No need to ask, it must be Bai shi.
"Replying to the Prince, this is the madam's breakfast. It is said that she needs to take medicine, so she is in a hurry to eat." The monks knew that the guests in the past two days were not to be trifled with, so they answered politely.
It really was her food, and she needed to take medicine after eating, so it couldn't be delayed.
"Prepare another portion and send it over." Long Heng was polite to the monks, but his tone wasn't modest at all.
The monks didn't care. It was inevitable that these nobles would have some arrogance.
"Your Highness, the food in each courtyard has already been distributed. Moreover, it is already late, so I'm afraid that it will take some time to prepare." They answered truthfully, but they felt a trace of coldness out of nowhere.
"Shu 'er, go down the mountain and buy some food. Quickly." Shu' er knew some qinggong, so he should be back soon.
Shu 'er was the servant. He opened his eyes and felt that he was going to be tired this time.
He swung his legs, nodded in response, and ran down the mountain.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, he remembered that his master hadn't given him money. He didn't have much money, only enough to buy a few meat buns.
If he brought them back like this, wouldn't he be cut in half by his master? If he had known, he would have asked his mother for more money.
Five meat buns for two people, it should be enough!
When he ran up, his master wasn't standing at the side, but seemed to be waiting.
Seeing him come up, he didn't ask for details and said, "Let's go in!" He actually took the lead and walked in. Shu 'er had no choice but to follow.
Bai Xiangxiu was indeed hungry inside, but no matter how long she waited, no monk came to deliver her food.
Xiao Shi, who was at the side, held the medicine that was a bit cold. She frowned and said, "This servant will go and take a look."
When she opened the door, she saw Long Heng, who was about to knock on the door. She couldn't help but be startled. Then, she hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings to Prince."
Long Heng still remembered the embarrassment last time, so he knocked on the door. He didn't expect to be interrupted by a flustered servant girl. He couldn't help but frown and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"It's this servant's fault. Please forgive me, Prince." Xiao Shi was frightened and hurriedly kowtowed as she spoke in a trembling voice.
Long Heng didn't have time to say anything to a servant girl like her, so he ignored her and walked in. When he saw Bai Xiangxiu supporting herself off the bed, he said, "Since you're injured, you don't need to get up. Shu 'er, give the food to Madame."
When Shu 'er heard the word' Madame ', he knew that his master treated Madame Xiu differently. However, the things he bought didn't seem to be enough to give away.
But he still put the meat buns on the side of the table and opened them …
"…" Long Heng had the urge to cut his subordinate into pieces and feed him to the dogs.
"…" Bai Xiangxiu was speechless. The breakfast Prince gave her was too strange. She had a feeling that she didn't know how to eat it.
