Chapter 319: A Difficult Woman
Jiang Yimo hurried back to Wutong Courtyard wearing wet clothes. The clothes that she had not yet changed were soaked and stuck to her skin, making her feel cold.
She hurried into the yard, but her eyes were attracted by a figure - Xie Hefan, dressed in white, was standing quietly beside the Yuexiu flower, staring at the flower intently in the dim moonlight, as if immersed in his own thoughts.
She could only see his side profile, but just this outline was enough to make her feel how handsome and calm he was.
On the steps not far behind him, Jiang Yimo's two maids were standing there, with anxious looks on their faces and the shape of their lips showing that they were worried about her.
Jiang Yimo took a deep breath, trying to calm her rapid breathing, turned her attention to Xie Hefan, and asked softly, "Mr. Xie, why are you here?" There was a hint of surprise and confusion in her voice.
Xie Hefan turned around slowly, his eyes were deep and gentle, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
He looked at Jiang Yimo and said softly, "I heard from the servants in the palace that you went out very late this morning and didn't return to the palace, so I came to see you. Now that I see you are back safely, I should go back too."
His voice was low and magnetic, as warm as a spring breeze.
Those beautiful eyes swept over Jiang Yimo, the expression in his eyes was a little complicated, but she couldn't understand the meaning in his eyes, so she could only nod.
Only after Xie Hefan left did Qingzhu and Qingnuan dare to come forward.
"Miss, you are finally back. Qingnuan and I have been worried about you all day in the palace."
Qingzhu walked around Jiang Yimo and was relieved to see that her young lady was not injured, only her clothes were wet.
Then, Jiang Yimo reached out and patted Qingzhu on the shoulder, comforting her: "It's okay, I'm back safely, right?"
Finally, she casually asked Qingzhu, "How long has Mr. Xie been in our yard?"
Qingzhu thought for a moment and said, "To answer Miss, Mr. Xie came to our yard when I and Qingnuan were having dinner. He didn't say anything and didn't want to sit down and wait for you. He just stood next to the roses and waited for you to come back before leaving."
Jiang Yimo nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.
Just now, when Xie Hefan wasn't paying attention, she secretly observed his complexion and found that his complexion was better than before, with a little more color on his face, and his physical condition seemed to have improved.
She had been so busy these past few days that she didn't even have the chance to take time out to visit him.
However, she did not neglect her concern for him and asked the genius doctor Nan Qiao to take care of him for her.
After all, with the miracle doctor Nan Qiao here, she doesn't have to worry about his condition at all. She believes that everything will be fine.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yimo raised her foot and was about to walk to the door of her room.
However, at this moment, Qingzhu suddenly asked her, "Miss, did you fall into the water? I went out for a while to inquire about you. They said that you came back with the prince and went to the prince's yard. How did your clothes get wet?"
Hearing Qingzhu's question, Jiang Yimo paused and looked a little embarrassed. She looked down at her wet clothes and felt helpless.
Of course she knew why her clothes were wet, but it was not easy to explain it clearly, so she simply said nothing.
After all, what happened between her and Feng Wuhen was too much to be explained in a few words. Moreover, for such an embarrassing thing, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Jiang Yimo took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm: "It's nothing, I just got wet accidentally. Don't worry, I'll just change my clothes."
After saying that, she continued to walk towards the room, leaving Qingzhu and Qingnuan standing there with puzzled looks on their faces.
After Jiang Yimo left his bathing pool, Feng Wuhen also came out of the pool, changed into dry clothes, and called Leng Mei and Anying over.
"Leng Mei, are the people who ambushed you and the princess today from the Hundred Ghosts Sect?"
Feng Wuhen sat on the chair, supporting his chin with his right fist, and asked Leng Mei with sharp eyes.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the first time the princess and I were ambushed was in the grove."
"We were on our way back from the black market, and when we passed by Xiaoshucai, we were suddenly attacked by arrows from a group of men in black."
"Fortunately, the princess had a hidden weapon in her hand to fight back. After a fierce battle, I and the princess were able to escape. Otherwise, I and the princess would have most likely..."
Leng Mei spoke seriously about what happened today when she returned to the grove from the black market.
Feng Wuhen listened quietly, his brows knitted tighter and tighter, and continued to ask: "Then how did you encounter the second ambush later?"
"Your Highness, after we escaped, we changed our route and took a detour before passing by the village tonight."
"However, when we passed by that village, we still... Fortunately, thanks to the princess's extraordinary wit, we were able to escape danger." Leng Mei replied.
Feng Wuhen nodded. Although he knew that Jiang Yimo had the ability to protect herself, when he found out that she had gone to the black market early this morning and had not returned home yet, he couldn't help but worry about her.
So, when he returned to the mansion in the afternoon, he took Anying and several guards to the black market. As a result, he did not meet her and Leng Mei along the way, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
But when he saw the corpses and signs of fighting in the grove, Feng Wuhen's heart skipped a beat and his heart was in his throat.
If he hadn't heard Shadow say that there was another way to go to the black market, he would have rushed into the black market immediately to find his woman.
Later, they had to change their route and choose another way back. However, not long after they went, they heard an explosion in the woods ahead.
When Feng Wuhen heard the huge roar, he immediately understood who was causing trouble.
He increased his speed without hesitation, anxious to get to Jiang Yimo as soon as possible.
When he saw her walking out of the grove safely, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground and he breathed a sigh of relief.
But this woman was not grateful at all and ignored him all the way, as if he didn't exist.
This ignited a fire of rage in his heart, which was why he treated her like that just now.
He really wanted to hold her tightly in his arms and feel her warmth and breath. However, she was a difficult woman to control, always making him feel helpless and frustrated.
