Chapter 197: Chapter 197: The Stunning Dragon Tooth Guards (Part 2)

"You may leave." Qin Jinchen didn’t pay attention to the subordinate’s surprise, merely dismissing him, while he continued to gaze in the direction Mu Qingge had departed, as if in a silent farewell.

...

In the Changle Princess Mansion, Qin Yiyao sat silently in her room.

Ever since her imperial brother, Prince Rui, brought her the news from the palace, she had been sitting there. She didn’t want to believe it was true, yet when the imperial edict was issued, she had no choice but to accept it.

"Princess, I went to the Mu Mansion, and they said the Young Lord is not within the residence." The maid finally returned with news, yet it was still disappointing.

Qin Yiyao’s eyes dimmed, and she softly instructed, "No need to look further, you may leave."

The maid withdrew with some concern.

Without outsiders present, the tears Qin Yiyao had been holding back finally fell, leaving two streams of clear tears on her beautiful face.

"Why?" Qin Yiyao seemed to ask herself, yet it also felt like she was asking Mu Qingge.

However, she was destined to receive no answer.

She had her pride; since Mu Qingge had so easily abandoned the engagement, she couldn’t possibly act like a forsaken woman, seek him out, and demand an explanation.

He wasn’t at the Mu Mansion and had sent her brother to relay the matter, clearly indicating one thing—he didn’t want to see her.

Qin Yiyao was perceptive, so how could she not discern the hidden meaning?

Therefore, she didn’t continue searching for Mu Qingge’s whereabouts, solely to preserve her last fragment of dignity.

Suddenly, a lacquered box with gold embroidery appeared in Mu Qingge’s hand, startling her.

The weight in her hand brought her back to her senses, and she looked at the exuberant Mu Lianrong, her mouth twitching.

"Aunt, I’m a man!" Mu Qingge reminded, trying to suppress the headache creeping at her temples, feeling that her aunt had somehow changed since discovering her female identity.

Mu Qingge’s reminder caused the smile on Mu Lianrong’s face to freeze.

The excitement receded like a tide, and Mu Lianrong, full of heartache, gently stroked her hair, no longer calling her ’stinky boy’ like before.

"Ge’er, you’ve had it hard." Mu Lianrong’s words seemed to be pent up for a long time before she uttered them. Thousands of words seemed to have condensed into this single sentence.

Mu Qingge shook her head, "Aunt, it hasn’t been hard for me. This way, I actually feel freer." If she were identified as a woman, wouldn’t she have to stay in the Mu Mansion all day, living in seclusion? And then, once she reached marriageable age, be casually handed over to some man?
