Chapter 1708: Chapter 1708: Chongfei’s Darkening Script 60

The constant drizzle fell upon us, soaking our clothes.

Then Ouyang Yu said,

"Very well. Choose a date to marry."

With those words, he walked away, leaving the courtyard gate.

Song Zhen leaned against the courtyard gate frame.

She looked at the sunflowers filling the courtyard.

A relaxed smile appeared on her face.

As if some great mission had been accomplished.

The sunflowers were in full bloom.

Song Zhen stepped into the courtyard.

She looked carefully.

Yes, these sunflowers are truly annoying.

Just like that woman, making her annoyed.

But, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Song Zhen reached out and snapped off one of the sunflowers.

In her weak voice, there was victory,

"In the end, you still didn’t win against me."

As she spoke, the broken sunflower fell to the ground with a plop.

Falling into the mud, stained with dirt.

Uncertain of the day.

By chance, Ouyang Yu wandered back to the courtyard gate.

He pushed open the courtyard door.

He hesitated for a moment.

The once beautifully bloomed sunflowers were all gone without a trace.

Only the broken stems remained as proof of the good times here.

He frowned.

A fleeting emotion crossed his cold, hard face.

Then, he spoke,

"Someone, come here."

Soon, a guard hurried over.

"Prince."

Ouyang Yu looked at the desolation on the ground and spoke,

"Has anyone been here?"

The guard remained silent.

Because they hadn’t noticed anyone coming.

Moreover, this courtyard was too secluded.

And because the General hadn’t taken a concubine, the backyard was always idle.

As a result, during patrolling inspections, this area was relatively relaxed.

After all, aside from a few rooms, there was nothing else.

The guard spoke,

"Forgive me, General; I will investigate thoroughly."

With that, the guard was about to leave.

Just as he was about to go, he heard Ouyang Yu say,

"Never mind."

As he spoke, the sound hung in the air.

There was silence for a long time.

Until he turned to leave,

"They’re just flowers, after all."

With that, his cold, hard figure moved away.

From then on, he never returned.

······.

One morning, Su Yan woke up.

After washing, she stepped out the door and saw the courtyard filled with sunflowers.

She was taken aback for a moment.

This was not the Shangyun City, but the Capital.

The weather was clear, and the air was not damp.

The guards were meticulously inspecting the sunflowers one by one.

Su Yan was puzzled,

"What are they doing?"

Beside her, Xiao Tao quickly replied,

"Early this morning, we saw the courtyard filled with these sunflowers. I heard it was brought by the Prince."

Su Yan looked and asked,

"Why so many?"

Xiao Tao shook her head,

"I’m not sure, but I heard these sunflowers were transported tirelessly by three horse-drawn wagons from Shangyun City, even protected by elite Hidden Guards.

I heard the Prince especially likes the sunflowers from Shangyun City."

After Su Yan heard this.

Shangyun City, sunflowers, the protection of experts?

Faintly, an idea formed in Su Yan’s mind.

Could it be these were brought from the Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion?

While thinking, she didn’t know when Xun Jing appeared in front of her.

He reached out and grabbed her arm,

"I heard the Princess misses the sunflowers of Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion dearly.

Fearing the Princess would yearn, I specially sent people to pick all the sunflowers from there without leaving any behind."

His slow voice was extremely gentle.

Su Yan looked at him,

"Did you steal them?"

Xun Jing’s brow twitched.

"In the Princess’s mind, am I that sort of person?"

Listening to his tone, it didn’t seem like a theft.

Just as she was about to ask further, Xun Jing said,

"Those were the things the Princess left at Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion, so I sent people to retrieve them; how could that be called stealing?"
