Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 390 The Runaway Princess is Forcibly Taken Away (39)

Bozhou,

Located in the southwest of the Xi Dynasty's territory, it belongs to the Central Plains region on the entire continent.

Riding a horse from Zhongjiang City to get here would take more than a day or two.

While Chunyu Huai was lingering in Luo's territory, Xia Youmi and Chunyu Xi had already set off to Qizhou to investigate the market.

To be honest, it's not surprising that place names sound the same.

When Xia Youmi returned to Beijing in April, she knew that Chunyu Huai was eyeing this lucrative opportunity.

She neither wanted her achievements to be stolen nor did she want to work hard for the royal family. During her year in Jiangnan, Xia Youmi felt more like she was preparing for the day she could easily slip away.

She continuously provides the recipes, but the execution, optimization, and supervision are not her responsibility.

They completely disregard whether the fast pace is suitable for the present moment, and the bait they throw out will always be irresistible to some.

she believes,

The people arranged by the Chunyu brothers will eventually digest the chaotic situation she created, but it will take a lot of time and effort.

In addition, the market is not big enough or colorful enough at present.

Those so-called old-established families in Jiangnan are all just sticking to their old businesses.

Especially since the throne is about to be changed, who would dare to make any rash changes at this juncture? The Luo family's ability to cause trouble is thanks to everyone else's low-key approach.

They're holding back their anger! Just waiting for the results to be announced before they pounce. Many families who took sides early seem to be enjoying the thrill of this momentum making them money.

And it's not just the fourth prince's lineage.

Most of the princes and noble families who noticed Jiangnan's actions had the same idea. The more they restrained themselves and did not act rashly, the more excited Xia Youmi and his men became, leaving arrogant footprints everywhere.

Her thoughts are difficult for people to understand and are easily misunderstood as being without desires or wants.

Actually,

The sense of disconnection rose from within Xia Youmi, and her inability to immerse herself in the present moment was the root cause of her carefree attitude.

Others' life trajectories and goals are all for their families, their countries, and for power and status.

However, after Xia Youmi settled the few people who would have died because of the original owner, she began to feel bored.

I don't want to fight, I don't want to climb anymore.

He no longer hid his true nature; he would argue with birds and cheer for all things.

Occasionally, he would also observe Chunyu Xi's emotional fluctuations.

Restrain yourself at the appropriate time, lest you taint your childlike heart.

But recently,

Xia Youmi discovered that there seemed to be a hint of ink in the very tip of this pure white heart.

In the letter Chunyu Xi reported to Chunyu Huai, Luo Qun and Xia Youmi were two different people.

That's understandable; the more people who know, the greater the risk of a scandal. It's not too late to explain to his brother after Xia Youmi returns to his position. After all, they haven't done anything out of line.

Ultimately, the benefits will belong to the family.

but,

This time, Xia Youmi deliberately shook off Chunyu Huai, and he even helped cover up her whereabouts.

He deliberately waited until he arrived in Qizhou before writing to the steward of Zhongjiang City. If Chunyu Huai had waited for the letter in the capital, he probably would have been delayed for another ten days or half a month before he found out.

But he happened to be in Jiangnan, and he received the message from his subordinates immediately.

But it was still difficult to catch them.

It took Zhongjiang seven days to ride his horse to Qizhou, and he only sent a message to Chunyu Huai after arriving, which was fourteen days later.

If he goes there rashly, he might end up empty-handed.

and,

No one has been assigned to that side yet, and no manager is there to help them.

Searching for someone in unfamiliar territory is futile and could also delay important matters in the capital.

Both brothers were gambling, but this time, Chunyu Xi had the better mindset.

While they were touring all of Qizhou,

Chunyu Huai returned to the capital full of resentment.

At this time, Chunyu Xi received news that his elder brother had visited Jiangnan but could not find them. Upon receiving the news, Chunyu Xi immediately escorted Miss Xia back to the capital.

"Your Highness!"

"Someone, go and invite Miss Xia!" Chunyu Xi, holding a letter in one hand, solemnly ordered the temporarily hired servant to deliver the message.

Those waiting below lowered their heads, pondering that he truly was a brother.

The elder brother's orders were exactly what Ling had instructed. The messenger hadn't even had a chance to sit down properly before he had to prepare to continue his journey to the capital with the Fourteenth Prince.

Ugh......

Such a meticulous master must be exhausted. Why not rest for one night before leaving?

The messenger's mind wandered, complaining about Chunyu Xi's loyalty.

Unexpectedly, not long after, a cry of surprise was heard from outside the courtyard.

"Oh no! Oh no! Young Master Qi! Miss Xia is missing!" The servant rushed in in a panic, almost tripping over the threshold.

My heart is still breaking. Such a kind girl, gone just like that! The house is so clean, it's like no one has ever lived there.

If he hadn't spent ten days or so playing with her, everyone would have mistaken it for a memory problem.

"what?"

"what happened!"

Several exclamations were heard, one from Chunyu Xi and the fourth prince's guard who delivered the message.

"There's no one in the room, and all the bundles are gone! No one has left the manor today either! Even the hired maids are nowhere to be found."

"Where is Miss Luo?" Chunyu Xi asked coldly.

"Well, Miss Luo's courtyard is a bit far, so I didn't have time to go see her. You only invited Miss Xia, and her luggage is missing, so I was careless," the servant stammered.

"Then, perhaps she's going to live in the same courtyard as Miss Luo." Chunyu Xi quickly considered the positive possibility and even ordered his servant to go to Luo Qun's courtyard to find someone and ask for clarification.

Only when Chunyu Xi and the messenger were left in the hall did he raise his eyes and scrutinize them sharply.

"But the news has leaked? I just saw the letter."

"No, that's impossible!" The messenger, seeing that he was being suspected, quickly vouched for himself, "I swear on my life, the sealing wax was perfectly intact before it reached you. Absolutely no one tampered with it beforehand!"

"Then why did Miss Xia suddenly disappear?" Chunyu Xi suddenly thought of something. "But what rumors are circulating in Jiangnan?"

"Your Highness, as far as I know, the Fourth Prince's whereabouts have not been leaked. The people of the Luo family are also very tight-lipped. However, Your Highness went to inspect various shops along the way, and perhaps you inadvertently let slip some information."

The two were making wild guesses.

Xia Youmi dressed up in Luo Qun's classic look and strode towards the front hall.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with my cousin?" She slammed on the brakes, avoiding the messenger's scrutiny, and turned to Chunyu Xi, shouting, "Are you trying to force my cousin to do something! She's been so sullen the whole way; someone must have upset her."

Chunyu Xi almost couldn't help but laugh while watching Xia Youmi's performance.

But the messenger had already begun to identify with his master, Chunyu Huai.

Too,

It was clearly not time to enter the manor, but they suddenly wanted to take him back, which forced him to run away.

The messenger was Chunyu Huai's confidant.

But having never dealt with Xia Youmi, I only have a vague understanding of the farce and mostly rely on my own imagination.

The moment Xia Youmi saw the contents of the letter, she immediately began to act.

Chunyu Xi cooperated quite well.

It's assumed that Xia Youmi will remain in Qizhou and won't return.

The two started arguing, and the argument got more and more heated.

The messenger was huddled in a corner, afraid to show his face, and was constantly being caught in the crossfire.

Finally, the servant couldn't stand it anymore and pulled the person into the search party.

Luo Qun cried and made a scene in the flower hall, arguing with Qi Xiao and even shouting that she wanted to divorce him.

She won't return to Zhongjiang until she finds her cousin.

This night,

All the entourage were searching for a breath of fresh air outside.
