The servant was walking rather quickly, and Nie Yao and her maid had to hurry to catch up.
The servant glanced back at Nie Yao several tis, and accidentally bumped into a maid while turning back.
The maid yelped in pain.
The servant looked up and saw the eldest young lady of the Wenyuan Bo Mansion and her personal maid.
The servant, looking flustered, quickly walked away.
Initially, the eldest young lady of Wenyuan Bo Mansion didn’t pay much attention, after all, the flower lantern festival was crowded, and she had already been bumped into countless tis while walking.
But the servant glanced at her before hurrying off.
In that glance, she happened to catch a glimpse of the servant’s appearance.
Sowhat familiar, but couldn’t recall at the mont.
Then she saw Nie Yao and the maid walking over, and the maid said, "Walk slower."
"I’m afraid the Commandery Prince is anxious from waiting," the servant said.
The eldest young lady of Wenyuan Bo Mansion frowned tightly.
She naturally recognized Nie Yao.
But she had never seen the servant of Prince NanAn, it shouldn’t have been familiar.
The maid, rubbing her shoulder, said, "Miss, that servant seems to be from Duke Chong’s Mansion..."
The eldest young lady of Wenyuan Bo Mansion suddenly turned to look.
Was the servant of Duke Chong’s Mansion leading the eldest young lady of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion to et the Heir of Duke Chong?
No...
The servant just ntioned the Prince.
Everyone in the Capital City knew about the matter between the Heir of Duke Chong and Prince NanAn.
Prince NanAn had broken the Heir of Duke Chong’s leg. Considering the ti, the Heir of Duke Chong’s leg should have healed by now.
Miss Nie of Nanyang Marquis Mansion is about to marry Prince NanAn, and now the Heir of Duke Chong is looking for her...
"Let’s follow and take a look," the eldest young lady of Wenyuan Bo Mansion said.
"If we’re lucky, maybe father can be saved!"
She quietly followed behind.
The pleasure boat was docked by the shore, and Nie Yao and her maid stepped onto the boat.
Once the servant collected the plank, the pleasure boat drifted into the distance.
The eldest young lady of Wenyuan Bo Mansion stomped her foot on the shore.
The maid asked, "Miss, what should we do now?"
"Go find a small boat!"
...
In the distance, Prince NanAn and a few others were wandering around the lanterns.
With a folded fan lightly fanning, graceful and poised, he captured the hearts of many young ladies.
After wandering among the lanterns for an hour, six young ladies had already dropped their embroidered handkerchiefs before them, four young ladies threw sachets to them, and so intentionally bumped into them...
"If we walk a little longer, my arm will be dislocated," Prince NanAn said, rubbing his shoulder.
Chu Shun was disinterested, "Why don’t we find a place to drink?"
"Exactly what I wanted," Prince NanAn replied.
The Heir of Marquis Beining was also there, but the wound on his hip wasn’t fully healed, and it hurt terribly when soone accidentally bumped into him.
Finding a quiet place to recover would be better.
The Eldest Young Master of Duke Dingguo Mansion was newly married and stayed with his wife, not joining them.
They headed towards the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in the distance, coincidentally running into Second Young Master Shen, who said upon seeing Prince NanAn, "How are you here?"
Prince NanAn seed puzzled, "If I’m not here, where should I be?"
"Didn’t you arrange to et Miss Nie of Nanyang Marquis Mansion on a flower boat?" Second Young Master Shen asked.
When the servant found Nie Yao, he was just walking onto the bridge and heard the servant talking.
Nie Yao recognized him too, to avoid awkwardness, he deliberately turned his back.
Prince NanAn frowned, "When did I arrange to talk with her?"
Chu Shun and the Heir of Marquis Beining vouched for him, there was no such thing.
But Second Young Master Shen wouldn’t say such a thing without reason.
Thinking of sothing, Prince NanAn’s face changed, "Which direction did she go?"
Second Young Master Shen also sensed sothing was wrong and quickly pointed, "That way."
Prince NanAn imdiately ran in that direction, Chu Shun followed, but the poor Heir of Marquis Beining found it painful to walk faster due to his hip.
Second Young Master Shen followed as well.
At that ti, the pleasure boat had already moved sowhat far from the shore.
And there was more than one pleasure boat.
Prince NanAn leaped towards the nearest pleasure boat.
Onboard the pleasure boats were people singing and dancing, drinking, and even engaging in indescribable activities...
They searched boat by boat.
anwhile, after Nie Yao and the maid boarded the boat, they did not see Prince NanAn, nor did they see anyone else.
The servant brewed tea for them, saying, "The Commandery Prince might have been delayed drinking with the Heir of Marquis Jingguo, please have so tea and wait, he will definitely co soon."
"Then why not wait for him on shore?" the maid asked.
"Miss Nie can enjoy a lake tour first, it’s convenient for the Commandery Prince to co,"
The servant’s attitude was respectful, so Nie Yao and the maid didn’t think much of it.
After opening the window to look outside and enjoying the breeze, feeling a bit thirsty, she drank half a cup of tea.
Just as she put down the teacup, footsteps were heard approaching.
Nie Yao turned around and saw the Heir of Duke Chong.
