Chapter 2671: Chapter 2672: Return to Tianyun (238)

Thus, she fiercely addressed the three of them, "None of you are allowed to speak of this matter. If anyone dares to speak, I will chop off their head! You are not allowed to mention it in the future, not even in your own hearts. If anyone dares to mention it, I will also chop off their head!"

The guard, the maid, and Feng Tong were immediately frightened and knelt down, hurriedly saying, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Tao Mingqing was also scared, and wanted to kneel down to Su Yuxin, but before he could get up, he saw Su Yuxin smilingly said to him, "Really, it’s to save you. You shouldn’t feel any burden, and you won’t be held accountable. Just forget about it, as if it never happened."

Pausing, Su Yuxin continued with a smile, "Don’t say no."

Tao Mingqing did want to be responsible, but being a Princess, he dared not climb so high. Besides, if this matter spreads, it would greatly tarnish the reputation of Su Yuxin as a Princess. Naturally, he hurriedly agreed.

But: "Princess’s life-saving grace, the commoner will never forget."

Su Yuxin said with a laugh, "It’s because I scared you that you fell into the pond. It was only right that I saved you, or else you would have been killed by me."

"The Princess has exaggerated."

"Get up," Su Yuxin helped Tao Mingqing to his feet, "My clothes are all wet. I’m going to my aunt’s place to change, and you should go back to your courtyard to change as well. Later, I’ll come to your courtyard to find you. I specifically came today to congratulate you on passing the exams and becoming a Scholar."

After speaking, seeing Tao Mingqing was standing firmly, Su Yuxin did not bother with him further and turned to the Su Xing courtyard.

The guard and the maid quickly followed.

Tao Mingqing watched Su Yuxin walk away, and once he calmed down, he couldn’t help but touch his own lips. Then, with a slightly desolate expression, he too headed towards Su Xing’s courtyard.

Seeing this, Feng Tong quickly said, "Young master, Princess wants you to go back and change clothes."

Tao Mingqing shook his head, said nothing, and continued toward the Su Xing courtyard.

Feng Tong could only follow.

Tao Mingqing did not enter the courtyard but stood at the entrance, waiting. As for what thoughts were hidden behind his calm gaze, only he knew.

Inside the room at Su Xing:

"Yuixin, what’s happened to you?" Su Xing was startled, quickly getting up when she saw Su Yuxin walk in dripping wet.

Su Yuxin laughed, "It’s nothing, just scared Little Qingqing just now. Who would have known he has such a small courage, not afraid of fright, and fell into the pond. So, I jumped in to retrieve him. Only then did I come to Aunt to see if there was suitable clothing to change into."

Su Xing said, "You’re about the same size as me, so you can wear mine. I just made two new outfits a few days ago and haven’t worn them. I’ll give you one to change into quickly. Hong Ye, go and fetch the purple one, let the Princess change quickly so she doesn’t catch a cold. Also, shoes and socks, go quickly."

Hong Ye quickly went.

Once she had the clothes, she invited Su Yuxin inside to change in the inner room.

After Su Yuxin changed into clothes and shoes, and simply fixed her hair, she walked out and smiled at Su Xing and Taoming Ye, "Aunt, you know, these clothes fit me just right. I glanced in the mirror; it looked quite nice."

Su Xing laughed, "That’s a bit narcissistic." Saying this, she took Su Yuxin’s hand, finding it warm. Then she laughed again, "Initially, I thought if you got cold, I’d promptly send you back to the palace for the Imperial Physician or your second uncle to look at. Now seeing your hands so warm, I presume you won’t catch a cold, I am relieved."
