A Ru was so ashamed and angry at what the shopkeeper said that her face flushed red. To think that she, a noble princess, had fallen into such a situation! Apart from her father and mother, no one had ever scolded her like this!
"I really was in such a hurry when I came out today that I forgot to bring any money. Look at the material of my clothes. It's the latest Shu brocade of this year. I will definitely send someone to pay you back." A Ru explained anxiously.
She had traveled for a whole day and thought she could have a good meal when she reached the prefect's mansion. But unexpectedly, the place was in a complete mess and no one had time to take care of her. Now the fragrance of the snacks wafted into her nose, and her stomach embarrassingly growled.
However, the shopkeeper didn't buy A Ru's words at all. Just as the shopkeeper was about to get angry and drive her out, Yuan Yuhan suddenly threw some silver coins in front of the shopkeeper.
"I'll pay for her." With that, Yuan Yuhan took the snacks in one hand and dragged A Ru out of the snack shop with the other.
This woman was really stupid. There was no exaggeration in saying so. How could there be such a stupid woman in the world? It really annoyed him.
A Ru never expected that he would come to her rescue. She suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. Just two minutes ago, she had been so arrogant in front of him, but now she was slapped in the face.
"Um... Thanks for today. Since you helped me today, I'll let bygones be bygones. My name is A Ru. What's your name?" A Ru asked, blinking her big, bright eyes.
Looking at the little girl beside him, Yuan Yuhan was actually transfixed by her innocent and carefree smile. Although her face was not of national - level beauty, in his eyes, A Ru was now incredibly beautiful.
Realizing his strange behavior, Yuan Yuhan coughed lightly to calm himself down. In the past twenty years, his heart had never beaten this fast.
"Yuan Yuhan. I've never done anything to you. Why do I need your forgiveness? Don't forget that it was you who threw yourself on me. I'm innocent. I was forced too."
Yuan Yuhan shook his head repeatedly because he thought he was also a victim in this matter. Although he had taken advantage, on the surface, it was A Ru who had made the first move.
A Ru rolled her eyes. "Even so, you're a man and I'm a woman. There should be propriety between men and women. Anyway, you took advantage of me!"
For the sake of the snacks he had bought for her, A Ru didn't plan to argue with him. After all, they would still see each other often in the future, and the relationship couldn't be too tense.
Her eyes were fixed on the snacks in his hand. Looking at those delicate snacks she had never seen before, A Ru was about to drool.
Yuan Yuhan couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth slightly, but his words were still sharp. "Why are you looking at my snacks? Do you think these snacks were bought for you?"
A Ru was completely confused by what he said. Her eyes were blank. "Aren't they? If they weren't for me, who were they for?"
A Ru always felt something was wrong. There was a bad premonition in her heart. Had she been tricked by this stinky man again?
Yuan Yuhan held back his laughter and shook his head. He replied casually, "I bought these snacks for myself. If you want to eat, I'll give you two pieces to taste. Go ahead. Don't be polite. After all, we're friends."
Hearing this, A Ru was furious. She felt as if ten thousand wild horses were galloping in her heart. Her smile disappeared completely, and she roared like a runaway wild donkey, "Your friend! I, the princess, never accept hand - outs!"
After saying these words, A Ru turned around and left, planning to return to the prefect's mansion. She had planned to stroll around the street, but now her good mood had been completely ruined by him. She had no interest at all. It was better to go back and find something to eat.
A faint smile appeared on Yuan Yuhan's face. This little woman was so interesting. He followed A Ru from a distance and returned to the prefect's mansion with her.
After A Ru returned to her room, she sulked there. She couldn't believe that there was such a shameless man in the world!
After a while, the sound of knocking on the door caught her attention. She calmed down a little and went to open the door.
"Miss, this is something the Fifth Prince ordered me to give you. I'll take my leave now." As soon as the maid finished speaking, she put the big food box in A Ru's hand.
A Ru put the heavy food box on the table. When she opened it, she found that it was filled with the snacks she had chosen just now, as well as some roast chickens and meat.
A Ru was a little surprised to see these delicious foods, and her eyes lit up. What she didn't know was that at this moment, a man was secretly watching her from the roof beam.
After only a moment of surprise, A Ru came to her senses. Then she snorted and said, "I, the princess, will never accept your things! I won't take leftovers!"
But unexpectedly, she was slapped in the face so quickly. As soon as she finished speaking, her saliva flowed out. The snacks and roast chickens on the plate seemed to be deliberately teasing her, constantly emitting a fragrance that was hard for her, who was already starving, to resist.
Women are always like this. They say no with their mouths but their bodies are honest. A Ru stretched out her naughty little hand, picked up a snack and quickly stuffed it into her mouth.
The snack melted in her mouth, and A Ru couldn't stop. Seeing her funny look, Yuan Yuhan also showed a smile.
Mu Fengqie had fed the medicine to Jing Xinche and had been guarding by his bedside. In just three or four days, he had lost so much weight. His eye sockets were much deeper. Mu Fengqie felt so heart - broken.
"Why are you so stupid? Do you know how dangerous this is? Saving people is a good thing, but you can't ignore your own life. Our child will be born in a few months. Do you want him to be born without a father?"
Saying this, Mu Fengqie heaved a heavy sigh. He was still lying in a coma in the bed. Although he had taken the medicine, he wouldn't recover in the short term. He might not wake up until the next morning.
She patiently told him all the things that had happened in these four days and shared the joy of finding her uncle and aunt. But suddenly, the sound of war drums sounded, and she suddenly stood up alertly.
The Tule tribe had launched a surprise attack again. Now they could only pin all their hopes on Ouyang Heng and the Fifth Prince.
Yuan Yuhan jumped down from the roof beam of A Ru's room, which startled A Ru. "Why are you here? By the way, what's that sound? Is there going to be a war?"
There had been no wars in Tianlin for so many years, so A Ru had never heard such a sound before.
