Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 541: Just Ordinary Commoners

At noon, Chu Xiaohe, as expected, led the Duke's mansion's entourage, along with other officials, to greet him at the city gate.

Zisu was very curious and originally wanted to sneak out to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, there were others who were even more curious than she was.

"I thought you wouldn't be interested in watching the excitement, so I didn't invite you." Just before leaving, she found that her mistress had also changed into a set of comfortable clothes and was following behind her.

This look of him appearing ready to use his light-footed skills to wander around at any moment almost scared Zisu to death.

"Miss, you can go if you want. We're just ordinary folks going to take a look. Please don't use any light-footed skills to move around in the crowd," Zisu instructed.

"I understand. I just wanted to take a look. I didn't mean to cause any trouble."

"Causing trouble?" Zisu's expression froze for a moment. What on earth could cause trouble?

"Just talking nonsense." Chu Yueli smiled at her. "Let's go."

The two left the Duke's mansion and rode their horses all the way, soon arriving at a place not far from the city gate.

There was a teahouse nearby, where they used to like to rest when they wanted to visit the city gate.

The two of them had no idea that there would be other people in the teahouse today.

"Lord Jinglei, Lord Liuyun?" Zisu asked in surprise. "Why are you two here? Didn't you go to greet Prince Yu? Where is your prince?"

“Our lord is the Prince of Mo, and there is no need for him to welcome a prince of a different surname.” Liu Yun waved to them and said with a smile, “Miss Li, Zisu, have you come to watch the fun too?”

Chu Yueli glanced at him: "So, you guys are just here to watch the show?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun was surprised for a moment, then blushed and scratched his head: "I was just... taking a look."

But clearly, that wasn't the purpose of the thunderclap.

After pulling out a chair for Chu Yueli, Jing Lei said, "I came to see this Princess Mingyue who suddenly appeared. Prince Yu had no daughter before, and this princess did not show her face on their way back to the capital. Her identity is too mysterious, so I wanted to come and see her."

That's the real purpose of Jing Lei's arrival.

He certainly didn't come just to watch the spectacle.

"Is this the prince's intention?" Chu Yueli asked.

Jing Lei shook his head: "His Highness is very busy. We can just report to him after we finish these small matters."

Liu Yun was somewhat surprised: "I was wondering why someone who usually doesn't like watching excitement would agree to come with me so readily today."

"So you're really the only one here to watch the show?" Zisu couldn't help but tease.

Liu Yun's face burned again. She stammered as if she wanted to say something, but didn't.

Zisu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just here to watch the fun too. You're not alone."

These words immediately put Liu Yun at ease, and she quickly ordered the waiter to bring over a table of tea and snacks that young ladies like.

After Chu Yueli sat down, she turned her head to look at Jing Lei standing to the side: "I'm just an ordinary citizen now, and so are you. We're just here to watch the show, aren't we?"

Jing Lei hesitated for a moment before finally sitting down.

That's right, it's just ordinary people watching the spectacle; otherwise, it might cause some misunderstandings.

Since they are ordinary people, there aren't so many rules. Some people are sitting and some are standing, and you can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary people.

"Lord Thunderclap..."

"There are only ordinary people here, no adults," Jing Lei reminded him.

Zisu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, Brother Jinglei, these tea snacks are soft, sticky, and fragrant. Please try them."
