Chapter 28: Memories of the Past

Start from the beginning
                                    

The fourth prince seemed to recall something and smiled again. "By the way, how long has Princess Zhao Yang and Lady Shufei been staying in the White Horse Temple? When will they start their journey back to the capital?"

The steward thought for a moment and replied, "If I may answer Your Highness, they should start their journey back tomorrow."

"So it's tomorrow."

The fourth prince looked at the purple crape myrtle flowers on the painting and frowned, pondering something he had been trying to figure out for a long time: why did Xiao Jin try to steal the bride on his wedding day?

To this day, he still couldn't quite understand it, but he could vaguely sense that Xiao Jin had changed in some way.

Thinking of this, the fourth prince stood up and lazily picked up his fur coat that was resting on the chair.

He put on the heavy fur coat and smiled, "Since it's tomorrow, this palace can still be willful once."

"Old Wang, take a team of men to Yanyu Building and remember to be quick... After all, if that person really is third brother, this palace wants to give her a surprise."

...

"Who are you?"

Bai Zheng's voice was very indifferent, but this question had many implications.

Because the scope of this question was very broad.

Perhaps she was asking about Chu Shao's background, or she could be asking who you really are beyond your identity as "Young Master Chu."

A few days ago, it rained all night on Fuhua Street.

The cold night rain poured down on the mysterious swordsmanship master, and it was unknown if it could wash away his appearance.

Upon hearing Bai Zheng's question, Chu Shao's lips curved into a polite smile despite her confusion. "To answer Miss Bai's question, I reside in Yunqin and my surname is Chu. My given name is Yu."

Bai Zheng gazed quietly at Chu Shao. Although she knew she was likely lying, she still smiled curiously and asked, "Is young master Chu's 'Yu' character the 'Yu' in 'Yuan Yu'?"

Chu Shao also looked at Bai Zheng with a faint smile on her lips. "No, it's the 'Yu' in 'Wo Jin Huai Yu.'"

...Wo Jin Huai Yu?

Xiao Jin fell silent.

Were there no other phrases in the female lead's knowledge base? Why did she have to use this one?

Although the faces of the two people in front of her bore gentle smiles and they seemed to be extremely amiable, Xiao Jin inexplicably detected a slight sense of something off.

This kind of feeling often appeared during war when both sides ignited the gunpowder during the fighting- commonly known as the smell of gunpowder.

It was normal for the female lead and the third female lead to dislike each other, but the male lead had not even appeared yet, and they had already started to ignite the war, which was truly ridiculous.

After hearing the four characters "Wo Jin Huai Yu," the smile on Bai Zheng's face seemed to diminish slightly.

She and Chu Shao gazed at each other for a long time before she casually passed over the previous topic and began discussing something else. "Just now, Young master Chu said she wanted to find a fragrance that would complement Young master Chu's temperament.

Coincidentally, I have a fragrance here in my Yanyu Building that is light but elegant, which would be perfect for Young master Chu."

Chu Shao looked at Bai Zheng and asked gently, "Oh, what fragrance is that? I'm all ears."
