Chapter 3408: Chapter 3409: Knock Her Out and Bring Her Back!

...

"What? Ran away?"

A while later, the Lord State Duke’s wife received a report from a servant saying the little Commandery Princess was not seen in the manor.

Her face turned pale, and she stood up in anger.

"That troublesome girl, I’ve doted on her for so many years in vain. How can she be so rebellious? Quickly, go search, go find her! Stop her outside the palace gates, don’t let her meet Lin Changfeng!"

The emperor had even personally spoken, warning her family’s Lord State Duke, yet that girl was so rebellious.

Of all people, why provoke Lin Changfeng? That man speaks his mind freely even in front of the emperor and the crown prince, doing whatever he pleases.

"Madam, the disposition of the Commandery Princess is such that we fear we cannot stop her." The servant said, somewhat troubled.

Indeed, how could they possibly stop Yuan Yingying, a woman spoiled by favor, who doesn’t even listen to the Lord State Duke or his wife?

Such a person, making them try to stop her?

"If you can’t stop her, then knock her out and carry her back!" The Lord State Duke’s wife gritted her teeth, giving the order to the servant.

It was right at the palace gates. If her daughter did anything, it would surely reach the emperor’s ears.

If the emperor knew, wouldn’t her family’s Lord State Duke be summoned to the palace to be reprimanded again? Being ridiculed by the whole court is minor.

And when she went out, she’d be looked down upon by other manor’s wives; she didn’t want to experience such a disgrace again.

"Yes, Madam."

With this command from the Lord State Duke’s wife, the servant knew what to do.

Anyway, if the Commandery Princess blamed them later, it wasn’t their fault; it was the Lord State Duke’s wife’s order.

...

Outside the palace gates.

Lin Changfeng came out alone. Due to being highly regarded by both the emperor and the crown prince, he was now the second-in-command at the Ministry of Works, officially titled Minister of Works.

He was also the youngest official in the court able to face the emperor directly, without exception.

Of course, because of the emperor and crown prince’s favor towards him, every time he left the palace, there were always some ministers waiting for him outside the gates, some wanting to invite him for a meal, others wishing to accompany him home.

Others felt that even exchanging a few words with him was good.

Actually, he never thought of himself as extraordinary, just doing his job diligently every day. Isn’t that enough for everyone to see his efforts? Why bother catering to others?

"Lin..."

"Lin Changfeng!"

Suddenly, two familiar voices called out from the same direction.

Upon hearing one of the voices, Lin Changfeng felt a jolt of joy in his heart and turned to look in the direction of the voices.

Seeing the person, his face lit up with happiness, and he quickly walked over.

When Yuan Yingying arrived at the palace gates, she was already out of breath, but she managed to catch Lin Changfeng just as he was coming out from the palace and called out to him.

However, she hadn’t finished saying one word before another voice sounded beside her.

Like her, the voice was calling Lin Changfeng.

Instinctively, she turned her head and saw a woman dressed in red, like a fairy walking out of a painting, and was stunned.

"Who is this woman?"

In Jianan City, she hadn’t seen this woman before, and she was here to find Lin Changfeng. If she had been around, Yuan Yingying would have heard about it immediately.

"You are..."
