Chapter 439 The First Trial of Love is Hard for Everyone
Although it was a bit strange, Murong Wenyi didn't think too much about it.
All he wants to do now is find Le Yao.
The last time Shen Jinyao went to the estate, she settled Song Yingxue there.
She instructed Xiang Hongxuan to explain to the Crown Prince that Song Yingxue should be kept.
The next day, Xiang Hongxuan reported to the Emperor and the King of the Western Regions that he had recognized Song Yingxue as his sworn sister.
He also said that he wanted Song Yingxue to stay in the Kingdom of Kyushu for a while.
Although Song Yingxue had no parents in the Western Regions, the king initially wanted to refuse her, but then he thought that having two Western Regions spies in the Xiang residence would be a better thing.
Eventually, I will have to return to the Western Regions.
His original plan was to meet Song Yingxue when he left Kyushu, poison her, and that way he wouldn't be afraid that she would betray the Western Regions.
Even if it's just to survive, I'll go back.
Therefore, the Western Regions Kingdom was only surprised by this matter and did not stop it.
Song Yingxue hadn't expected things to be so simple, but she also knew that the king and prince wouldn't just leave her in Kyushu so easily.
Upon hearing that she was to go to the estate with Shen Jinyao, she followed without hesitation.
Shen Jinyao did not explain to Song Yingxue why she set up the Qimen Dunjia outside the manor, and Song Yingxue did not dare to ask any questions, but simply followed the instructions.
She wished she could use all the knowledge she had acquired in her life to show Shen Jinyao that she hadn't chosen the wrong person.
Song Yingxue surveyed the area around the manor and then had trees and boulders moved over. After she rearranged them several times, no one could find the way into the manor.
Of course, some were also placed at the entrance of the manor.
Those are more mysterious and unpredictable.
I can clearly see the doorway, but I can't get in.
Song Yingxue only told Shen Jinyao and Shen Zhixin the solution.
While marveling at the miraculous power, Shen Jinyao finally felt a little relieved, as this provided some reassurance.
In the days that followed, she did not allow Song Yingxue to return to the Shen residence.
She had a gut feeling that the Western Regions Kingdom might seek out Song Yingxue before leaving the Nine Provinces Kingdom.
To prevent any accidents, such meetings should be avoided.
When the King of the Western Regions comes looking for her, she will push him to the Shen family.
Sisters who have a good relationship can go out together without any problems.
In short, the time for the Western Regions Kingdom to return had already been set, and it was impossible to keep waiting at the Xiang and Shen residences to look for people.
In this way, Song Yingxue gradually broke free from the control of the Western Regions Kingdom.
By the time the Western Regions realized what was happening, it was too late for regrets.
It all started because of that princess from the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the princess of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom was standing at the door of the side room, eavesdropping on Shen Jinyao's conversation with the Qiang people.
Murong Wenyi did not get the answer he wanted, but he was not angry; he just looked somewhat dejected.
I don't know how long it will be before I can come back to see Le Yao after this trip.
He wanted to see her one last time before going back.
Some things are better left unsaid.
So that he wouldn't be constantly worried without the other person knowing.
Even if...
Even if he is rejected, he needs to make it clear.
Although the king could accept that he would never marry, he could not stop the desires of those in the royal family.
"Madam Xiang, I will soon be leaving the Kingdom of Kyushu. I don't know when I will see Le Yao again. I have so much to say..."
Shen Jinyao thought of Shen Leyao, who hadn't yet come to her senses, and then of her third uncle and aunt, whose faces would turn stern whenever Murong Wenyi was mentioned...
She shook her head helplessly.
Even if the two have feelings for each other, they are far apart, and Uncle and Aunt will definitely not agree to let Le Yao leave their sight.
Moreover, it's clear that it's a one-sided affair between the two of them.
Le Yao did value Murong Wenyi very much, but whether it was romantic love was hard to say.
"What happened after you met her?"
Murong Wenyi said anxiously, "When I see her, of course I will..."
Shen Jinyao didn't give him a chance to continue, but said calmly, "And then what? Have you thought about the future?"
Have you ever thought about coming to Kyushu?
Have you thought about the future for the two of you?
What she said next was rather cruel to Murong Wenyi, so she didn't continue.
They were all intelligent people, so she stopped there.
She didn't want to make any decisions for Shen Leyao, but it was better not to meet her until Murong Wenyi had thought things through.
If he has thought it through, she will let Le Yao meet with him.
What to do then depends entirely on Shen Leyao's attitude.
As expected, Murong Wenyi became even more distraught upon hearing this, appearing as if he had suffered a great blow.
Perhaps it was because of Shen Jinyao's cold words, or perhaps she had thought of something.
Shen Zhizheng, who was standing to the side, glanced at Murong Wenyi but didn't say anything.
It's best to leave when you're heartbroken and never look for his sister again.
He glanced at Shen Jinyao, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
Shen Jinyao found it a bit strange.
"Brother, is there anything else?"
When Murong Wenyi came out of the palace, he was naturally accompanied by someone, but Shen Jinyao did not expect that it would be her elder brother Shen Zhizheng who was with her.
Seeing that Murong Wenyi had no idea what to do, why didn't his elder brother take the person away?
Shen Zhizheng glanced at the side room; the door was slightly ajar, but upon listening carefully, he couldn't hear the girl speaking.
Could it be...
Physical discomfort?
In the past, I would run out immediately whenever I heard his voice.
Shen Jinyao noticed Shen Zhizheng's gaze, was initially surprised, and then smiled.
She waited patiently for Shen Zhizheng to speak.
Shen Zhizheng hesitated before asking, "Where is Miss Song?"
Shen Jinyao looked completely clueless.
"Who is this Miss Song you're talking about, brother?"
Shen Zhizheng was getting impatient, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Jinyao's smiling eyes.
Knowing that the girl was making fun of him, he flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Shen Jinyao thought Shen Zhizheng was angry and stormed off, but unexpectedly he said sullenly, "I was talking about Song Yingxue..."
Shen Jinyao knew her older brother's temperament and dared not joke around anymore.
He replied, "She went out for a trip with Le Yao and will be back in a few days."
Shen Zhizheng was somewhat surprised.
But during his visits to the Xiang residence, he had not seen the young lady...
He thought she had hidden away because she was hurt by his words.
"Is she okay?"
Shen Jinyao couldn't just blurt out where Song Yingxue was in the courtyard; she could only reassure Shen Zhizheng in reply.
“She’s fine, as my elder brother knows. She’s my sworn sister now, and no one dares to bully her.”
Shen Zhizheng hummed in agreement and then left with Murong Wenyi, who had lost six of his seven souls.
As they left, the door to the side room was closed.
Shen Jinyao was curious; the princess of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom had become much quieter since Song Yingxue left.
To everyone's surprise, Murong Wenyi came to visit again the next day.
"Madam Xiang, I've made up my mind. Please allow me to meet with Le Yao."
Seeing the resolute look in Murong Wenyi's eyes, Shen Jinyao couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, no one can easily overcome the hurdle of love.
She told Murong Wenyi to wait at the Xiang residence while she went to fetch Shen Leyao.
After all, among the outsiders, only she knew how to get into the manor.
