Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 226 To Save His Old Lover

Su Mowan steadied herself.

It was too dark for her to see what the person who hit her looked like.

Yinshuang caught up at this moment.

The man was clearly stunned by the impact. He only remembered to run away when Yinshuang was almost in front of him, and quickly turned around to flee.

Although Su Mowan couldn't see the person clearly, she could see his movements. Seeing that he was about to run away, she instantly moved over and blocked his escape route.

Seeing that the person was about to crash into her again, Su Mowan reached out and slapped the person in the chest.

She only brought a fraction of her strength, since her goal was not to hurt people, but to stop them.

The tentacles' chests are quite hard.

It's a man.

Seeing that he was blocked in front and pursued from behind, the man simply shouted, "Don't attack! Don't attack! I'm from the Xiaoyao Sect!"

Su Mowan smiled as soon as she heard the voice.

Why do I keep running into people I know?

The person blocked from both ends by her and Yinshuang was Chi Yi's younger brother, Chi Xuan.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be another set of standard night clothes.

Knowing that Chi Xuan would definitely not recognize her, Su Mowan asked in a rough voice, "Why are people from the Xiaoyao Sect here?"

Chi Xuan struggled free, clearly annoyed, then ripped off the black cloth covering his face, frowning as he said, "Why here? There's no need to tell you! This forest isn't yours, is it? You're not allowed to come here, and I'm not?"

Seeing that the person had stopped running, Yinshuang walked to Su Mowan's side and said, "This person was following behind suspiciously just now, but ran away after I discovered him."

So that's why Yinshuang chased after people all the way here?

Su Mowan nodded, then said to Chi Xuan, "Speak properly. What are you doing here? If you dare to hide anything, don't blame me for killing you to silence you!"

Chi Xuan knew that the person in front of him had far superior internal strength, so his arrogance vanished and he became timid.

"What else could I do? Our Master Zuo sent me here, saying he needs to rescue his old flame!"

Old flame?

When did Qingcheng become Chi Yi's old flame?

Su Mowan chuckled softly.

By the moonlight, he scanned Chi Xuan from head to toe, then gave him a disdainful look: "Saving people, you're the one to rely on?"

"of course not!"

Chi Xuan felt blatantly looked down upon and was very unhappy.

He was supposed to be out having fun with Xue Ting, but his brother's order brought him back, and he was ordered to rescue someone—something he was extremely unwilling to do. Not to mention, the woman his brother wanted him to rescue was from the brothel, Wan Hua Lou!

Therefore, Chi Xuan believed that this was his brother's old flame.

After being scorned by Su Mowan, Chi Xuan arrogantly replied, "Of course, there are others to provide backup! As for how they will do it, I won't tell you!"

Su Mowan was surprised that Chi Yi would actually make a move.

As far as she knew, Chi Yi and Qingcheng weren't very close; they were merely nodding acquaintances. Could someone have offered Chi Yi a large sum of money to do something?

"Chi Yi is here too?"

"You know my brother?!"

As soon as Chi Xuan uttered those words, he realized that he had exposed his identity and was immediately filled with regret.

Yinshuang hadn't recognized Chi Xuan before, but now that he said that, she realized that the person she had been chasing for so long was Chi Xuan.

Su Mowan nodded frankly: "I know him. Your brother and I are very close friends, so you can speak with confidence."

Yinshuang's eyes flashed when she saw the words "intimate friend". This was the first person that Consort Su had ever called an intimate friend.

Chi Xuan, however, did not believe it.

Seeing that Su Mowan's face was covered, he said, "What kind of close friend would cover their face when meeting people? If you're so capable, take that thing off your face. I know my brother's close friends!"

how is this possible.

Su Mowan ignored him and said to Yinshuang, "Forget it, let's go. We should go back anyway."

Upon hearing this, Yinshuang followed.

"Hey! Wait a minute! You haven't said who you are yet! What am I supposed to say if my brother asks me who saved his ex-girlfriend?"

Su Mowan turned around.

"Just say you're a friend who frequently does financial transactions with him, and he'll naturally find out."

Monetary transactions...

Yinshuang suddenly wondered if she was thinking too far off.

The two soon returned to the entrance of the forest. Feng Yue and the others had not yet returned, so Su Mowan asked Yinshuang to find a way to contact them.

Yinshuang made the same gesture as Feng Yue had done earlier, and then the same sound rang out.

A short while later, a rustling sound came from the woods; Feng Yue and the others had returned.

Su Mowan told Feng Yue and the others to go first, while Yinshuang went over to untie the reins.

Glancing at Qingcheng, Su Mo asked before riding off that evening, "Are you with His Highness Prince Jin?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of chaotic hoofbeats approached.

Su Mowan frowned.

Murong Xuan quickly said, "Don't be nervous, he's one of my men!"

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng decisively walked towards Su Mowan: "Your Highness Prince Jin is of noble status, I'd better go with you."

Su Mowan glanced at Murong Xuan and saw him staring at her with an unfriendly expression. She then reached out and helped Qingcheng onto the horse, holding her protectively in front of her.

"That's true, and men and women shouldn't touch each other, so it's better if you're with me."

As he spoke, he gently tugged at the reins, and the horse began to move at a leisurely pace.

Qingcheng was half a head shorter than Su Mowan, so Su Mowan could barely see the road ahead. Qingcheng shrank into her arms, wanting to look back but not daring to, knowing that Yinshuang and Prince Jin were following behind.

Su Mowan noticed her thoughts and chuckled softly.

"The Prince of Jin's men will be here soon, and they might go back and complain to Consort Shen again. You'd better stay put for now."

The words had barely left his mouth when the three men ahead were already three zhang away. He hurriedly reined in his horse and stopped.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Murong Xuan spurred his horse forward slightly, frowning as he said, "Didn't I tell you not to come along?"

"Your subordinates are worried about your safety! We dare not be careless!"

The three of them dismounted in unison and knelt on the ground.

Murong Xuan's mood fluctuated wildly, and he didn't want to argue with the servant at this moment. He waved his hand and said with a serious face, "I'll let it go this time, but don't let it happen again!"

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, got up, mounted their horses, and followed at the very back, keeping a low speed.

Murong Xuan knew he couldn't talk to Qingcheng at this time, so he rode alongside Su Mowan with a sour face.

Su Mowan knew that growth couldn't be achieved overnight, but Murong Xuan's spineless behavior made her uncomfortable.

So she spurred her horse and sped past Murong Xuan, running ahead of him.

Seeing Su Mowan's actions, Qingcheng gently tugged at her sleeve, probably worried that Murong Xuan couldn't bear such blatant contempt.

Su Mowan's speed didn't slow down; instead, it increased slightly. She said, "As the saying goes, 'A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.' From now on, whether you're making friends or dealing with His Highness Prince Jin... you'll have to be more careful."

Qingcheng nodded sullenly: "I understand."

After walking for about five or six minutes, they encountered a carriage rushing towards them. The carriage passed by Su Mowan, but stopped abruptly when it saw Murong Xuan following behind her, and called out, "Your Highness."

This is really quite comical.

The attendants were divided into two groups?

Su Mowan glanced back and saw that Murong Xuan seemed to want Qingcheng to get into the carriage. Before anyone could speak, she spurred her horse and rode off.

"..."

Seeing his prince's somewhat embarrassed expression, the attendant driving the carriage could only silently continue driving the carriage to the very back.

Upon reaching the border between the east and north of the city, it was time to part ways with Murong Xuan. Su Mowan glanced at Qingcheng in her arms and gestured to her with her eyes whether she wanted to say goodbye.

Qingcheng simply clutched her cloak tightly, peeked out her pale but still beautiful face, quickly glanced at Murong Xuan, and then pulled her head back in.

Murong Xuan's expression was also unpleasant. He coldly said to the servants following behind him, "Return to the palace!"

Although Murong Xuan had already been granted the title of king, he was still not yet twenty years old and continued to live in the palace.

At that moment, the idea of ​​leaving the palace to establish his own residence flashed through his mind, but when he thought about how he had accomplished nothing and was only eighteen years old, he angrily tugged at the reins.

Murong Jing left the palace to establish his own residence at the age of sixteen. Because of his outstanding military achievements and the fact that he was born to the Empress, Emperor Mo Yao naturally favored him.

Although Murong Jin didn't have any great abilities or achievements, he had already come of age last year and had been out of the palace for a year.

Murong Xuan now hates himself for not having made any contributions, and also hates himself for not being born two years earlier.

Consort Shen waited in the main hall with a gloomy expression.

Murong Xuan took a deep breath, walked over, and greeted him.

"Why hasn't Mother Consort rested yet?"

Consort Shen's makeup was still on, clearly indicating that she wouldn't sleep until tonight because she couldn't wait for her son. Although her makeup was heavy, it couldn't hide her sorrow.

Murong Xuan's attitude further provoked her, and she immediately swept the teacup in her hand to the ground.

Fortunately, Consort Shen was favored, and the floor was covered with a luxurious plush carpet, so the teacup did not break. It just rolled a few times and came to a stop at Murong Xuan's feet.

The palace maids serving in the hall were so frightened that they dared not breathe, lowering their heads as if they wanted to cover their ears as well.

Murong Xuan was always obedient in front of Consort Shen, but this time he did not let Consort Shen have her way.

He waved his hand at the several palace maids who were quite frightened, "You may all leave."

"Yes!"

Several palace maids hurriedly retreated.

Consort Shen was already furious, and Murong Xuan's overstepping of his bounds only made her more enraged, her face contorting with rage.

"Xuan'er, have you grown too big for your britches?!"

Murong Xuan stared straight at his mother, his face revealing the stubbornness unique to a young man.

"Your Majesty, I do not understand what you mean."

"Don't understand? What don't you understand! She's just a pretty courtesan, and you're getting angry with your mother over such a woman of the night! Tell me, shouldn't you be!"

"Your subject is not angry."

"you--"

When Consort Shen was young, she was one of the most beautiful women in the capital. Just like Shen Muyue, she was stunningly beautiful. So she didn't think that Qingcheng's appearance was anything special.

Now, her son was going against her, his mother, for a woman who was not even as beautiful as she was in her youth, and who was also a prostitute. This made Consort Shen feel a dull pain in her heart.

"Your mother is doing this for your own good! You will be—"

"What do you want?"

Murong Xuan interrupted him without hesitation, somewhat incredulously: "Mother, you don't harbor the same thoughts as Consort Xiao, do you?!"
