The painter was still boasting, completely oblivious to the extreme displeasure on Ye Li's face.
Shen Jing!
He is Shen Jing!
Suddenly, Ye Li understood everything.
No wonder Su Yourong, who was extremely skilled at painting, couldn't get it right no matter how long she painted!
No wonder Shen Jing suddenly fell ill before I arrived at the Su Family!
Leprosy? More like a guilty conscience!
They were clearly conspiring to deceive me!
They just didn't want me to stay at the Su Family, to prevent me from discovering Shen Jing's true identity!
Bastard!
This bastard!
He tricked me so badly!
And I even prayed for him and told Feng Min to find a doctor for him!
Ye Li completely erupted, quickly exited the carriage, and sternly reprimanded a nearby guard: "Dismount!"
The guard didn't know what was wrong with Ye Li, but still dismounted obediently.
Ye Li snatched the reins from the guard's hand, flipped over, and quickly mounted the horse.
"Gallop!"
Ye Li suddenly squeezed the horse's flanks, and the warhorse immediately shot out like an arrow from a bowstring.
"Quick, follow!"
Lin Qi snapped back to reality, immediately roared, quickly mounted his horse, and charged forward with the guards.
"Hey, are you still buying paintings?"
The painter shouted at them but received no response.
"Gallop!"
Ye Li was furious, constantly urging her horse onward.
The warhorse galloped wildly, heading straight for the Su Manor.
Behind her, Lin Qi followed closely with a group of guards, constantly shouting at passersby: "Move aside, move aside!"
"Thump, thump..."
The rapid sound of hooves echoed throughout the long street.
Before long, Ye Li on horseback encountered the Su Family mother and daughter's carriage.
But Ye Li, in her rage, did not recognize it as the Su Family mother and daughter's carriage.
Hearing the rapid hoofbeats, Madam Su couldn't help but frown: "Who dares to gallop a horse on the street?"
Madam Su lifted the carriage curtain to look out and only saw Ye Li on horseback rushing past their carriage.
That was...
Princess Qinghe?
Madam Su was a little dazed, even wondering if she was seeing things.
Why would the Princess, with a perfectly good carriage, be in such a hurry and riding a horse? Where was she going?
While Madam Su was lost in thought, Lin Qi also sped past their carriage with a group of guards.
Madam Su rubbed her eyes, confirming that she hadn't seen wrong.
"What happened?"
Madam Su poked her head out to ask a guard.
However, the sound of hooves drowned out her voice, and the guard didn't hear her, quickly riding away.
"Who was that?"
Su Yourong leaned over to ask.
"It was Princess Qinghe and her retinue."
Madam Su replied: "I just saw Princess Qinghe ride past directly on horseback."
"No way?"
Su Yourong frowned, "Isn't she supposed to be leaving the city? That's not the direction to leave the city!"
Madam Su frowned, "That seems to be... the direction of our home."
"The direction of our home?"
Su Yourong wondered to herself, they had just parted ways, why was she going to the Su Family again?
It couldn't be that she left something at the Su Family, could it?
As a Princess, even if she needed to retrieve something, she wouldn't ride a horse directly to the Su Family, would she?
Couldn't she just send someone?
Unless...
"Oh no!"
Su Yourong's face suddenly changed, "It's very likely that Shen Jing's secret has been exposed!"
Besides this, it seemed there was nothing else that could make Princess Qinghe so flustered.
Exposed?
Madam Su's face suddenly changed.
Damn it!
It must be this!
Madam Su's expression changed dramatically, and she immediately lifted the curtain and instructed the coachman, Lao Quan: "Quick, unhitch the horse!"
"Madam, what happened?"
Lao Quan asked, confused.
"Quickly unhitch the horse!"
Madam Su didn't explain, hurriedly pulled Su Yourong out of the carriage, and helped Lao Quan unhitch the horse.
The moment the horse was unhitched, Madam Su gracefully flipped onto its back and then reached out to Su Yourong.
Su Yourong immediately grabbed her mother's hand, used the momentum, and quickly mounted the horse.
The mother and daughter's coordination was extremely skilled, without any hesitation.
Madam Su suddenly squeezed the horse's flanks: "Gallop!"
The horse carried the mother and daughter, quickly charging forward.
Su Yourong's face was filled with panic.
She had no idea what was going on.
Hadn't it been kept a secret all this time?
How could it suddenly be exposed?
Could it be that people from the Zhao and Song families had guessed something, and they were behind this?
Damn it!
A cold glint suddenly flashed in Su Yourong's eyes.
If it really was them, they shouldn't blame her for being ruthless!
Su Yourong exhaled a turbulent breath, then said to her mother with a bitter expression: "If Shen Jing's matter really is exposed, the Princess will probably resent us as well..."
If she had known this, she should have told the truth back then.
Now, it's really troublesome!
"Don't worry about that for now, let's rush back first!"
Madam Su replied, continuously urging the horse.
Before long, Feng Min and others, who were on their way back to the official residence, received news that Princess Qinghe and the Su Family mother and daughter were rapidly heading to the Su Family.
Feng Min, upon receiving the news, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "It seems Shen Jing has died of his illness!"
Shen Jing was already critically ill, and according to Pu Fanghai's previous assessment, it was already good that Shen Jing had lasted until today.
Besides this reason, he really couldn't think of anything else that would make Princess Qinghe and the Su Family mother and daughter rush to the Su Family in such a hurry.
"Sir, should we go to offer our condolences?"
The official beside him asked.
Feng Min thought for a moment and replied: "Since the Princess has gone, we must also go to offer our condolences!"
With that, Feng Min led a group of officials to the Su Family.
As they departed, Meng Tong called over a subordinate and whispered a few words into his ear.
The subordinate understood and quickly left...
...
Su Manor.
Shen Jing walked out of his room for the first time in several days.
He had heard yesterday that Ye Li would be leaving Luochuan Prefecture early this morning.
Damn it, finally got rid of this plague.
However, he still couldn't go out yet.
At least not until after noon.
By then, Ye Li should have completely left Luochuan Prefecture.
When they eventually arrive in the capital, he hoped this girl would already be married far away!
Shen Jing was teaching Chi Chi Tai Chi in the courtyard while letting his thoughts wander.
"Shen Jing, get out here for this Princess!"
Suddenly, a murderous voice exploded in Shen Jing's ears.
Shen Jing froze, his body suddenly stiffening.
What the hell?
Had he been in his room for too long and was hallucinating?
Or was he being haunted by that girl's resentment?
"Young Master, was that Princess Qinghe's voice just now?"
Chi Chi snapped back to reality, asking in a panic.
"You heard it too?"
Shen Jing was surprised.
Damn it!
It couldn't really be that girl, could it?
Wasn't she supposed to be leaving Luochuan Prefecture?
And she came back for a surprise attack?
Just as Shen Jing felt guilty, a servant rushed over, saying in a panicked voice: "Son-in-law, Princess Qinghe has arrived!"
It's over!
It really was that girl who came back!
That matter, it's probably exposed.
Chi Chi's heart was even more flustered, and she quickly said: "Young Master, you should hide quickly!"
"She's already come to our doorstep, where can I hide?
Shen Jing smiled bitterly, "Besides, if I hide, what about You Rong and the others?"
"Then... then what should we do?"
Chi Chi was panicking, pacing anxiously.
"Don't panic!"
Shen Jing stopped Chi Chi, "She can't chop me up, can she? I'll go meet her!"
With that, Shen Jing walked towards the front courtyard.
However, as soon as he reached the back courtyard gate, he saw Ye Li approaching him with a group of guards, looking murderous.
Ye Li, in women's clothing, had lost some of her childishness, but she still looked like a green apple.
Seeing Shen Jing, Ye Li suddenly stopped, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, "It really is you!"
"This..."
Shen Jing smiled awkwardly, "Miss, between us..."
"Bold Shen Jing, how dare you disrespect the Princess?"
Lin Qi roared, interrupting Shen Jing, a cold glint also flashing in his eyes.
As soon as Ye Li gave the order, they would immediately apprehend Shen Jing.
"How did I disrespect the Princess?"
Shen Jing craned his neck, "Besides, what about the Princess? Can a Princess be so breathtakingly beautiful? So captivating that one is mesmerized and can't even tell north from south..."
