Farewell Flower Festival

The second wave of customers had not arrived yet, and there were people outside on the street cheering for victory. Chaoyan also took Jade and Amber and followed the cheering crowd to greet them. Yu Bo still stayed to look after the store.

Amid the cheers of the people along the street, Mu Tianchen appeared at the city gate riding a tall warhorse. Just like when he left, he was still wearing silver armor and a bright red cloak. The only difference was that the expression on his face was more severe.

Following behind Mu Tianchen was another tall warhorse. The middle-aged man riding on the horse was wearing black armor and a bright red cloak. He was about forty years old and had an extraordinary bearing, like a general or a prince.

Behind the other party were two young men, also wearing armor and with an extraordinary demeanor. They should be major generals or something like that.

Behind the two young men were two horse-drawn carriages, which should be the female relatives accompanying them.

From the discussions of the people around him, Chao Yan learned that the middle-aged uncle in black armor was the famous King Xiaoyao in the capital at that time. He never came back after leaving the capital ten years ago and has been guarding the border in the north.

Back then, the King Xiaoyao was a rare handsome man. Before he got married, he was the dream lover of countless girls. After he got married, countless girls were heartbroken by him.

After ten years of guarding the border, the young man in fine clothes and riding a fierce horse has become a powerful general, the girl whose heart was broken has become a mother, and now Wen Yunlan has become the dream lover of countless girls.

Time is really unforgiving, and the new generation pushes the old generation forward.

When the front carriage passed by Chao Yan, the curtain on the window moved slightly. The woman sitting inside looked outside. When she saw a face in the crowd, her expression suddenly changed in shock, as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight. When she came to her senses, the face was gone.

She comforted herself that she had seen it wrong, but if that person was not dead, she would definitely cut the weeds and eradicate them completely to prevent future troubles!

……

After returning to the store, Chaoyan asked Yu Bo about the King of Freedom, and learned from Yu Bo about an unfortunate experience the King of Freedom had when he was young.

After the King Xiaoyao got married, he and his princess were very affectionate, like a couple from gods, and the envy of others.

The princess gave birth to a son and a daughter for King Xiaoyao, but the second delivery was not smooth and her body never recovered, and she died in less than half a year.

From then on, King Xiaoyao never recovered and spent his days getting drunk.

Later, another unfortunate incident happened, which dealt King Xiaoyao another heavy blow.

The youngest daughter disappeared when she was two years old. It was said that the housekeeper of the mansion set fire and took the child away and disappeared.

Later, King Xiaoyao left the capital and went to the north to guard the border. Unexpectedly, he found his little daughter there.

The twists and turns involved are another strange thing.

Yu Bo was not very clear either.

After closing the shop at night, Yu Bo first sent Chaoyan, Feicui and Amber back home.

Although it was only one street away and could be reached in less than ten minutes on foot, and there were other shops open and people walking on the street, Yu Bo was still worried about the three girls walking at night, so he had to personally send them home.

On the way, Chao Yan talked about her grand business plan. She would open a branch in one year, buy the whole street in two years, and become the richest woman in three years. Then she could travel around and go wherever she wanted...

When they arrived at the door, the four found a person sitting at the door.

Yu Bo held out the lantern to shine over, and the dim light illuminated a pair of smiling fox eyes.

"Xiao Lianzi, long time no see."

Hearing Han Lie's voice, Chaoyan was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to appear here, and then another problem arose.

"How did you know I lived here?"

Han Lie gave an unexpected answer, "I'm injured."

Chaogao: “……?”

Han Lie asked again: "Would you like to invite me in and sit down?"

Chaogao: “……?”

After opening the door, Han Lie was still sitting on the ground. He stretched out his hand to Chao Yan, asking her to help him up. Yu Bo did it for him.

After Yu Bo helped Han Lie into the house, he asked him if he wanted to ask a doctor to come and see him. Han Lie waved his hand and said that it was nothing serious, just a few stab wounds, and he would not die.

Chaoyan asked him what he was doing, and Han Lie said he brought her a gift, but still did not answer the question directly.

"I have something for you."

Han Lie glanced at Yu Bo, jade and amber, as if these things could not be shown to outsiders.

Considering that he had behaved like a gentleman before, Chao Yan asked Yu Bo to go back and rest early, and asked Feicui and Amber to go out first.

When there were only two people left in the room, Han Lie took out something from his arms, wrapped it in red silk, and asked Chaoyan to open it to see if she liked it.

"It can't be your golden unicorn, right?" Chao Yan said as she opened the red silk. Inside was a bracelet, crystal clear without a trace of impurities. It was shining and emitting colorful light under the light, as brilliant as a rainbow.

It was the first time that Chao Yan saw such a beautiful jade bracelet, and she couldn't help but pick it up and take a look.

"Do you like it?" Han Lie asked.

Chao Yan was attracted by the beauty of the bracelet and nodded for some reason. When she came to her senses, she quickly put down the bracelet and said that she could not accept such an expensive gift.

"You don't like it?" Han Lie asked.

Chaoyan stopped herself from looking at the bracelet, lest she be fooled by the other's beauty. "I'm not used to wearing these things." Before she could finish, she felt someone holding her wrist. She looked down and didn't know when that hand reached out. Han Lie picked up the bracelet and prepared to put it on her. Chaoyan just struggled for a while, and Han Lie said, "If you break it, there will be no second one."

Chaoyan was distracted by this sentence and the beauty of the bracelet, and when she came back to her senses, the bracelet was already on her wrist. She raised her hand to take it off, but Han Lie said that it was called a concentric bracelet, and once you put it on, you can't take it off unless you break it.

Chaoyan didn't believe it, so she grabbed the bracelet and pulled it out. Her skin was rubbed red by the bracelet, but she still couldn't take it off. She stared at Han Lie, and the word "despicable" was almost engraved in her eyes. She raised her hand as if she wanted to smash the bracelet.

Han Lie did not stop her. He changed his usual frivolous tone and said seriously, "Little Lianzi, I really want to marry you. No matter if you have status or not, I will marry you in a formal way." He then asked her seriously, "Can Your Highness the Fourth Prince do this?"

Chao Yan's eyes darkened. In fact, she already knew the answer in her heart. If she really wanted to find a home here, she and Mu Tianling would not have a future. He wanted a decent wife, and she only wanted one and would never share with anyone.

In the flickering light, Han Lie waited patiently for her answer.

Zhao Yan looked at the colorful jade bracelet on her wrist, remained silent for a while, and asked, "Then can you decide your own marriage?"

Han Lie replied: "My marriage is decided by my eldest brother, but as long as it is someone I like, my eldest brother will not object."

Chao Yan didn't say anything.

Han Lie said there was no rush, he could wait another year or two, and it would not be too late to give him an answer after she bought the entire street.

After Han Lie left, Jadeite and Amber walked in. Chao Yan subconsciously pulled down her sleeves to cover the bracelet so that the two could rest early.

After the two men closed the door and left, she raised her wrist and looked at the crystal-clear jade bracelet, unsure if this was the destination she wanted.

Chaoyan couldn't sleep again at night. He recalled the past one by one and made a decision in his heart: either give up or go down this path until death.

All the answers will be revealed tomorrow.
