Chapter 1669: Chapter 1669: Chongfei’s Darkening Script 21

"No problem!"

After agreeing, Little Red didn’t even ask how many holes to poke.

It just kept poking away there nonstop.

Gradually, Little Red understood that Su Yan was planting flowers.

It recalled the way it had seen a Flower Farmer planting flowers before.

Little Red took on a practiced look.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss"

It even needed to cover the seeds.

Then when it rains, they’ll sprout and bloom.

So, Little Red first poked a hole in the ground.

Then Su Yan put the seed in.

After that, Little Red swept its tail, sweeping the soil back into the hole.

Covering that seed up.

The two of them worked together with quite some tacit understanding.

After an hour, they were already on the third row.

Xiao Hua spoke up.

"Host, you’ve already planted one hundred and eighty-one seeds."

Little Red had been excitedly poking holes in front.

Then the Gu King on Little Red’s head spoke up.

"Hide."

Little Red heard it.

Immediately, with a pop, it dove into one of the holes it had poked.

Concealing itself and vanishing.

When Ouyang Yu pushed the door open and walked into this small courtyard.

He saw exactly such a scene.

The young girl was dressed in goose-yellow clothes, standing by the wall, squatting down, not knowing what she was doing.

The afternoon sunset was spreading from the west.

The evening glow swept across the sky, dyeing one side fiery red.

The woman’s face was just like that sunset glow, carrying a faint blush, with a softness unique to young ladies.

Ouyang Yu stood there with his hands clasped behind his back.

His voice was cold and hard.

"What are you doing?"

Su Yan had noticed when Ouyang Yu came in.

But she still very carefully planted that seed and then covered it with soil.

Only then did she tidy up the wallet and stand up.

She lifted her head.

She froze for a moment when she saw who was standing opposite.

Because not only was Ouyang Yu there, Xun Jing was too.

Ouyang Yu was in black, cold, hard, iron-blooded, standing there expressionless.

Beside him, Xun Jing was in white, aloof and noble, his pitch-black eyes looking at Su Yan full of amusement.

He hadn’t expected to run into her again.

What was she doing?

Burying something?

What could it be?

Could it possibly be a corpse or bones?

Xun Jing thought.

He couldn’t help it—on their first meeting, the impression Su Yan left on Xun Jing had been far too deep.

So he always couldn’t help but think of the girl in front of him as a bad woman.

A bad woman who was interesting.

Su Yan straightened her sleeves a bit.

Then she walked over.

She spoke.

"Planting flowers."

Ouyang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened, seemingly unconvinced.

Xun Jing’s brows and eyes were gentle as he spoke.

"Princess, what a fine mood you’re in."

Su Yan nodded.

"It’s okay."

This wasn’t a matter of mood or not.

This was a matter of having to plant them.

Ouyang Yu looked at Su Yan, his tone cold and hard.

"Since you’re planting flowers, why bother sneaking off to such a deserted place?"

Su Yan was serious.

"I’m not sneaking. This is where I lived before."

Ouyang Yu looked around this courtyard.

It couldn’t be called particularly refined; it was one of the old residences of Prince Zhen Nan.

But after some repairs, it could barely be presented.

Letting this Princess live here was just about acceptable.

But in the eyes of the servants, they all understood that this Princess was not valued by the Prince, which was why she’d been given such a remote place.

Ouyang Yu’s gaze swept around once, then finally fell back on Su Yan.

He was just about to speak.

Su Yan was a step faster.

She asked, puzzled.

"What business does the General have with me?"

Ouyang Yu’s eyes were icy.

"You don’t know?"

"If you don’t say, how would I know?"

Ouyang Yu looked at her expression, as if weighing the truth in her words.

At last he said.

"The emperor of Jianglan Country has specially sent an envoy to our court, saying that this Prince does not value this marriage alliance and is mistreating you."
