But the fact was indeed so. Lou Yueying was highly skilled in martial arts and extremely ruthless. Even the Crown Prince himself couldn't defeat her. So, whenever he saw Lou Yueying in the Crown Prince's Mansion, he would try his best to avoid her.
The most excessive thing Lou Yueying did was to send away all the beauties and concubines in the mansion. Moreover, she wouldn't let Yuan Yuchuan touch them. He could only secretly sneak out for some fun. He was really pitiful.
Now, Yuan Yuhan had so blatantly brought up his sore spot, causing Yuan Yuchuan to lose face in front of a young girl. He really couldn't swallow this humiliation.
"What are you talking about, Fifth Brother? How could you know about the affairs in my Crown Prince's Mansion? A man who hasn't married yet shouldn't listen to others' rumors." The Crown Prince glared at him angrily.
He was the heir apparent, the future emperor. If this rumor continued to spread, where would his face be?
Hearing this, Yuan Yuhan snorted coldly and retorted without showing any weakness, "There is no wall that can't let the wind through. Nothing happens without a reason. Everyone knows that the Crown Prince is henpecked. How could I be spreading rumors?"
Hearing this, the Crown Prince was so angry that he was out of breath. Just then, A Ru was laughing loudly beside him, forming a sharp contrast with Yuan Yuchuan at this moment.
"So, this is what the Crown Prince of your Qin Dynasty is like. I've really broadened my horizons today. You probably don't even know who I am. It's useless to tell you. Remember to avoid me in the future. Be careful not to provoke someone you shouldn't!"
After saying that, A Ru turned around and left. She didn't want to waste time with these two men. She had finally seized this opportunity and wanted to go out for a stroll. She had to come back quickly before her elder cousin found out. If her elder cousin knew, it would be terrible!
Watching A Ru's disappearing back, Yuan Yuchuan finally came to his senses. His pair of cold and cruel eyes stared fixedly at Yuan Yuhan. "Fifth Brother, I advise you not to be my enemy. With your background, you're simply not worthy to compare with me!"
"Isn't it too early to say such things when nothing has been settled yet? So what if you have a good background? Opportunities are all earned by oneself. Brother Crown Prince, you'd better watch your step!" Yuan Yuhan sneered.
The two of them had already openly fallen out, so Yuan Yuhan didn't need to give in to him anymore. He quickly walked out and chased after A Ru at the fastest speed.
This young girl was really extremely stupid. If he hadn't shown up just now, would this stupid woman have told the Crown Prince about her own background?
A man like the Crown Prince, who was full of bad ideas, might do something unfavorable to A Ru if he knew her true identity. If he hadn't arrived in time, that girl would have been in danger.
But that girl didn't even thank him. Instead, she just left without a care. She was really a heartless woman!
By this time, A Ru had already run a long way. When she came, she had noticed a snack shop on the street. She could smell the fragrance of the snacks from afar. She wanted to taste what the snacks here were like.
But before she could follow the route in her memory to reach that shop, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. She only felt that a sudden black shadow completely enveloped her.
She looked up and saw that annoying face. Why was this damned lecher still haunting her? Why was he following her?
"Why did you follow me? Come on, tell me what you want from me?" A Ru asked impatiently.
Yuan Yuhan shrugged and said arrogantly, "This road wasn't built by your family. I can go wherever I want. Who said I was following you?"
He didn't know why, but he found it really interesting to see A Ru so angry. He always wanted to tease her.
A Ru had never lost an argument since she was a child. For the first time in so many years, she had lost to Yuan Yuhan. A Ru was so angry that she bit her lips tightly and then snorted coldly and continued walking on her own.
Since Yuan Yuhan was a scoundrel, she didn't need to argue with a scoundrel. If a dog bites you, are you going to bite the dog back?
Yuan Yuhan silently followed behind A Ru. No matter where she went, he closely followed her. He didn't even know what had come over him.
He had actually protected her safety and guarded her every step of the way, just like a bodyguard. But someone didn't seem to appreciate it at all and looked very reluctant.
A Ru successfully found that shop based on her memory. Looking at the dazzling array of snacks in the shop, A Ru's mouth was almost watering. It seemed that just taking a bite could make her forget all the unpleasant things that had happened today.
"I'll take this, this, this, and this. Give me some of all these!" A Ru happily pointed at the snacks in the shop.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed to meet such a generous customer and quickly went to pack the snacks for her.
A Ru was also happily observing the surrounding environment. When she turned around, she saw that annoying ice-cold face standing right behind her.
"I'm telling you, even if you follow me, I won't give you a single snack!" A Ru said and then haughtily raised her chin.
After a while, the shopkeeper had packed the snacks. A Ru happily picked up the snacks and was about to turn around and leave when she was called back by the shopkeeper.
"Sir/Madam, you were so happy that you forgot to pay. It's a total of ten taels of silver." The shopkeeper said with a big smile.
Since they didn't look like poor people from their dressing, the shopkeeper didn't think much about it and was smiling, waiting for A Ru to pay.
A Ru had indeed forgotten about paying. The last time she went out, there were a whole bunch of attendants around her. She never had to do anything herself when she wanted something, so she had forgotten about paying.
She showed an embarrassed smile, put the snacks on the table, and then reached out to feel for the money bag on her body. But there was nothing on her.
She had never brought any money when she went out. And since she had sneaked out this time, she hadn't thought much about it. Now it was great. She was really going to be extremely embarrassed!
The shopkeeper saw that A Ru had felt around on her body for a long time but hadn't found the money bag. His attitude also turned bad. "You don't have any money, do you?"
"Shopkeeper, I forgot to bring my money bag when I went out. Can I go home and get the money and then come back to pay you? I guarantee that I'll come back with twice the price!" A Ru said with a bit of guilt.
The shopkeeper immediately changed his expression. He looked as if he was about to beat someone. "There are so many liars like you. If you don't have any money, what are you doing here buying things? Do you think I'm stupid? If I let you take the things away, how could you come back?"
