marry a princess

Chapter 31
The General’s Mansion is not big, but the courtyard is exquisite but unique, but now it’s late autumn, the surroundings are no longer as vibrant and green as before, and the yellowed leaves swirled down with the wind and fell to the ground. It looked desolate and lonely; even the wind seemed to carry some inexplicable sadness.

Bai Ziwan walked forward by himself, turning a blind eye to the salutes and greetings of the servants who passed by, her eyes were calm but with a touch of helplessness and sadness.After a long time, she stopped suddenly, looked at the lake not far ahead, and sighed heavily.

"Master, would you please say something? This servant knows that you are angry with the fifth prince, but... if you are really angry, this servant will help you teach him a lesson."

Bai Ziwan sat down on a smooth stone, pretending to be ignorant of Yun Xiang's words, staring blankly at the lake, and then said to herself, "I'm not angry... I just didn't expect that one day I would fall into Such a helpless situation.”

Obviously he doesn't want to be manipulated like a puppet, but he is powerless to change.Thinking about what the Empress Dowager said to her before leaving, Bai Ziwan looked at the slowly moving clouds in the distance, closed his eyes, would he be unable to escape the shackles of fate in this life?
"master……"

Bai Ziwan turned her head and made a silent gesture to Yunxiang, her eyes still closed, "Don't say anything, just let me be quiet for a while and I'll be fine."

Yun Xiang opened her mouth, but finally stopped, quietly looking at Bai Ziwan's profile.She is two years older than the master, and she has watched her grow up. Although the master lost his mother very early, the master and the young master love the master very much. The nanny even protects the master as his own daughter. As a real younger sister, although the master's childhood was not carefree, but the master is very strong, even if he is bullied by the wife and the third lady, the master never shed a tear.

The master's face always had a smile that paled even in the sun, but at this moment... Looking at Bai Ziwan's sad face, Yun Xiang realized that she couldn't even say a word of comfort except for her heartache.

"Fifth Concubine..."

The sudden voice behind made Bai Ziwan open her eyes suddenly, turned her head and saw He Lu, she stood up and said, "Is there anything wrong with Uncle He?"

With a kind smile on He Lu's face, he said respectfully, "The fifth prince went to the training ground with the general, and he will come back at night. What does the fifth prince and concubine want to eat at noon, so the old slave can prepare it in the kitchen."

Bai Ziwan thought for a while, and said, "I don't know what to eat for a while, so Uncle How can you help me make up my mind, just make something light."

He Lu agreed to leave, but after walking a foot away, he turned around and reminded Bai Ziwan that the lake is cool, so she should not stay by the lake for too long.

Back in the house, Bai Ziwan went to the table and poured a cup of tea for himself.Normally, the headache would be fine as long as I had a good sleep, but this time after sleeping for such a long time, the pain didn't subside in the slightest, on the contrary, it got worse and worse.

Bai Ziwan frowned uncomfortably, and said as she walked towards the bed, "I'll lie down on the bed for a while, and call me when I'm eating."

"master……"

Turning around, seeing Yunxiang looking at him hesitantly, Bai Ziwan was at a loss, "What's wrong with you? Just say something."

"I..." Yun Xiang hesitated, "Why don't you ask the servant why he suddenly knows martial arts? Where did he learn it?"

"You have been awkward for the past two days, just because of this incident?" Bai Ziwan laughed, folded his arms, and pretended to be serious, "Then tell me now, how do you know martial arts? Where did you learn martial arts?" Here? Don’t lie to me, otherwise, or I’ll sell you to a kiln tomorrow morning.”

Thinking of the thin steel wire and the head of the man in black, Bai Ziwan still felt lingering in his heart. Fortunately, Yunxiang was his maidservant and was very loyal to her. I don't know how he died.

Seeing the constriction in Bai Ziwan's eyes, Yun Xiang called out, "Master, this servant is telling you something serious, why are you making fun of this servant instead?"

Bai Ziwan remained silent, Yun Xiang said, "For the time being, the servant can't tell the master who taught the servant the martial arts, but the servant made an oath in front of the master that she will stay by the master's side for the rest of her life, protect the master, and not let anyone hurt the master."

Knew it would be like this.Bai Ziwan patted Yun Xiang's shoulder, "I know about this, and you don't have to worry about me getting angry in the future, but don't let other people know about your martial arts skills, and don't shoot at will." Too vicious.

Yun Xiang nodded, "Your servant understands." She leaned closer, "Master, you really don't blame your servant, don't you feel angry with your servant?"

Bai Ziwan smiled, "You know martial arts, so I don't have to worry about where to go in the future. Alright, I'll lie down for a while, don't disturb me."

Suddenly remembered something, Bai Ziwan raised his hand, "Yuxiang, besides that kind of hidden weapon, do you have any other skills? Like lightness kung fu?"

Yun Xiang looked blank, "Master, why do you ask this?" Then he suddenly realized, "Master, isn't he paying attention again?"

Gaving her a right look, Bai Ziwan said, "Anyway, you have nothing to do now, why don't you go out and help me see if Linjiang City is really as impoverished as rumored, and see what features Linjiang City has. Be careful not to be found out."

Before noon, Rue Xiang brought back the news.

Linjiang City is indeed located in a remote place, but it is not as poor as the rumors say, because many soldiers have married and had children with the girls here after years of fighting here, and the barracks also have their own fields. They are all busy in the field.

Although Linjiang City is not as bustling and bustling as the capital city, it is still very lively. There are restaurants, teahouses, gambling houses, brothels, etc., and the folk customs here are more open than the capital city, and unmarried women can go to the streets at will. A full [-]% lower.

"Yuxiang, thank you!" Bai Ziwan patted Yunxiang's shoulder, wondering if he should use the 'conditions' here to enrich himself.

If the emperor didn't issue an imperial edict for a day, Yuan Hongyi would have to stay in Linjiang City, and she wouldn't even think about going back.She didn't want to stay in this square courtyard all day, day after day.

Seeing Bai Ziwan's rolling eyes shining brightly, Yun Xiang said in surprise, "Master, you don't want to open a shop here, do you? That master..."

"It's been so long in the capital, how many people know that I've opened a shop?" Bai Ziwan looked sideways at Yunxiang and said, "We don't know how long we're going to stay here, we can't stay in the mansion every day, right? But I have to go out and see for myself." "If you want to open a store, you have to choose a good location.

After hearing the words, Yun Xiang knew that Bai Ziwan's words were not just words, she frowned annoyedly, and regretted asking for news for Zi Wan.
