On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 189 - Crown Prince Feels Jealous

Chapter 189 -189 Crown Prince Feels Jealous

Lai Yuxing gave another harsh slap on the servant’s head and said to Lai Yuqing, “Second Brother, it really isn’t our fault. Wei Liang said our sister had returned, was he not asking for a beating?”

Lai Yusheng chimed in, “If mother hears of this, the consequences would be unimaginable!”

Wei Liang, feeling wronged, rubbed his scalp. The martial skills of the young masters of the Leng Family were commendable, and after several slaps, his head was reeling severely.

But he indeed had seen the Princess.

Back when the Princess was still around, she always gave him sugar beans. For the sake of those sugar beans, he had to stick to his own view.

Respectfully, Wei Liang turned to Lai Yuqing and said, “Second Young Master, I truly did see Princess Mian’er!”

Lai Yuqing’s expression turned stern as he solemnly said, “How Mian’er left, do you not know?”

“But I truly did see her,” Wei Liang, wiping away tears, nodded and said, “Second Young Master, do you think the Princess might have been brought back to life after being buried and was then taken away by an immortal?”

At this, the three Leng brothers fell into a silent hush.

If there really were immortals, they would beg them to bring their sister back to life.

But the reality was that their thoughtful and well-mannered sister would never return.

With a furrowed brow, Lai Yuqing watched Wei Liang wiping his tears with the back of his hand and then softened his tone, “Where did you see her? Lead the way.”

Both Lai Yuxing and Lai Yusheng said in unison, “Second Brother, you really believe him?”

“Let’s go and see,” said Lai Yuqing, stepping towards the gate of the Prince Mansion.

Wei Liang hastened to follow, with Lai Yuxing and Lai Yusheng trailing behind.

When Leng Yu Yan returned to the private room in the inn, the food and drinks had just been served.

Song Guo warmly greeted her, “Miss Yu Yan, please take a seat quickly.”

“Okay,” Leng Yu Yan nodded and took a seat, turning to Ye Yiheng, “Your Highness, we have now reached Beilan City. What are your plans? Shall we enjoy the scenery of the border for a while, or stay here for some days?”

Ye Yiheng asked her in return, “And you, what are your plans?”

Leng Yu Yan smiled faintly. Naturally, her intention was to treat Princess Zhenbei and then spend some time touring the border region before returning to the capital for revenge.

However, she couldn’t reveal this to the man before her, veiled as he was, and merely said, “I have to meet with Brother Lai. We had a prior arrangement that he would show me the beautiful scenery of the border.”

Ye Yiheng’s face remained indifferent, but his heart was sour.

This woman truly felt differently about Lai Yuyue, to come all this way to Beilan City, disregarding the dangers along the road for his sake.

It was known that once women from Beilan City married off to the capital, they seldom came back to visit their parental homes. The reason was nothing other than the long and perilous journey.

Yet her relationship with Lai Yuyue was nothing more than that of distant relatives removed by five degrees of kinship…

No, that’s not right— she wasn’t Leng Zongfa’s daughter, so she and Lai Yuyue were no longer of the same family.

Could it be that there was something more between her and Lai Yuyue…

The sourness in his heart suddenly turned to a pain.

Perhaps, Lai Yuyue was the right one for her.

And truly, she and he were unsuitable for each other. From the moment they met in the inn, when he had recognized her in her male disguise, she had been hostile towards him.

Their relationship had changed slightly only because they had been attacked by bandits one night, and he had protected her.

Since then, though they had traveled together to Beilan City, she had insisted on riding alone, never sharing the horse carriage with him.

What vexed him even more was that Xiaoshan got along better with her than he did.

Could he really not even compare to a young man with white hair?

Perhaps he truly couldn’t.

Aside from his white hair, Xiaoshan was healthy and robust, not afflicted by the same cold disease and vision impairment as he was.

Thinking this, Ye Yiheng self-deprecatingly curved his lips and said in a clear, cold voice, “We’ll return to the capital in a few days.”

“Oh, that’s good,” Leng Yu Yan nodded. Along the journey, she had seen him constantly wearing an eye veil, a clear sign that he still could not see.

Since her eyes could not see, fearing that the inability to behold the beautiful landscapes of the border might affect her mood.

According to past patterns, she should have been able to see by now. At this moment, Miao Zhu and Xiaoshan were in the private room, unaware that Ye Yiheng’s visual impairment was a symptom of intermittent episodes.

He did not wish for more people to know of this condition; hence, it wasn’t appropriate for her to ask him why he hadn’t been able to see in recent days.

Thinking about how Song Guo had told her that he couldn’t see all these days…

Could it be that his visual impairment was getting worse?

In that case, it would be good for him to think of returning to the capital.

The room suddenly fell silent; Leng Yu Yan was completely unaware of the increasingly expressionless face of the person sitting opposite her.

“When will Your Highness leave?” she asked while quickly eating her meal, “I will see Your Highness off then.”

“There’s no need.”

Ye Yiheng uttered these two words with a tone cold and distant.

Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan paused with her chopsticks in hand, looked up at him, her eyes filled with a shimmering light, and her voice was quietly subdued, “Alright, then.”

All this way, he had protected her, and she had felt it.

She had thought that they had become friends and that seeing him off was the right thing to do.

It turned out she had thought too much.

After quickly finishing her meal, Leng Yu Yan put down her chopsticks: “Your Highness, please enjoy your meal!”

She then stood up: “Miao Zhu, Xiaoshan, let’s go.”

When the master and servants trio left the room, Ye Yiheng lightly placed the soup spoon he was holding back into the soup bowl with a pop.

Although the sound was crisp but not loud, Song Guo and the others were startled.

Taking courage, Song Guo said, “Your Highness, didn’t you come to find Miss Yu Yan and take her away?”

Ye Yiheng responded coldly, “When did I ever say I was here to find her?”

Even if he had said so, would she go with him?

She wouldn’t.

It would just be humiliating himself.

Downstairs, Leng Yu Yan settled the bill for the food and drinks they had ordered in their private room and then left.

Holding a note given by Li Yuyue, standing in the bustling streets of Beilan City, Leng Yu Yan suddenly felt a bit lost.

The prosperity of Beilan City was no less than the Capital; the wide and crisscrossing roads were flanked by various inns, tea houses, and shops.

Unlike modern days with street signs, even with the address written by Li Yuyue, she still had no idea how to get to the Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

Just as she was about to ask a nearby shop for directions, a few young men blocked her path.

There were three young men in front of her, no, more precisely, young lads. Two of the youths looked identical, clearly twins, and the remaining one looked somewhat older than them, albeit still quite youthful.

These three were led to her by a person dressed as a servant.

Seeing them staring at her as if they had seen something odd, Leng Yu Yan furrowed her brows: “May I ask if you gentlemen need something?”

The three brothers, Leng Yuqing, could hardly believe their eyes. The person before them, dressed like a young master, really bore a striking resemblance to Mian’er.

His eyebrows, the corners of his mouth, even the shape of his earlobes, were all identical to Mian’er’s.

That such a similar person existed in the world, they were so shocked that they momentarily didn’t know what to say.

Upon closer inspection, the person opposite them was much taller than Mian’er had been three years ago, his eyes also seemed more spirited, and his skin was fairer. Could it really be Mian’er who had come back?

Miao Zhu and Xiaoshan moved in front of Leng Yu Yan.

“My young master is indeed good-looking…” Miao Zhu placed her hands on her hips, “But it’s not right for you to stare at someone like this!”

Xiaoshan also said, “It’s one thing for you to look at me with that strange expression, but why look at my young master like that?”

This left him quite perplexed.
