Feng Wu said in her head, it was precisely because Jun Linyuan needed to stay in bed for the next three days that she had decided to leave early. That way, she could avoid traveling with him as well as a lot of awkward situations.
At that thought, Feng Wu said a silent prayer for Little Phoenix.
Yan Yan happened to walk in at that moment and an idea struck her when she heard what Feng Xun said.
Cousin, are you going to the imperial capital? And you’re leaving in three days? That’s great! I’ll go ask my mum so that we can leave together!

Yan Yan was over the moon!
The greatest opportunity had just fallen into her lap. She could take advantage of that favorable position and get closer to the crown prince. That way —


The more she thought about it, the pinker her cheeks became.
Feng Wu found Yan Yan incorrigible. She had made up her mind that she would do her best to avoid Feng Xun and the others. Otherwise, she would have so much more to worry about.
She went in to examine Mrs Ning without another word.
Feng Xun turned to Yan Yan and stared unblinkingly at the teenage girl, who was immersed in her daydreams.
Yan Yan, you…


No!
Before Feng Xun could figure out how to reject Yan Yan, Mrs Yan said it for him.
Both Feng Xun and Yan Yan turned to look at Mrs Yan involuntarily.
Mrs Yan had hollow temples and protruding cheekbones, which gave her a grim and mean look to begin with. With the straight expression on her face, she looked all the more fierce.

We’re going back to Anyuan Province and we’re staying there for a while. We won’t be going the same way as Feng Xun.

Mothers knew their daughters the best. Mrs Yan could see through Yan Yan with one glance and she was greatly upset at Yan Yan’s manner of throwing herself at Jun Linyuan.
It wasn’t simply a matter of self-respect or not. More importantly, Mrs Yan knew perfectly well that Jun Linyuan didn’t have the least bit affection for Yan Yan. The girl wouldn’t even be able to become a maid-concubine if she tried. Yan Yan would achieve nothing other than disappointing herself.


Hence, before Yan Yan fell too deep into this unrequited love, Mrs Yan decided that she had to seperate Yan Yan from Jun Linyuan.
Moreover, Mrs Yan had always liked Ning Chenxi. Not only was the teenager Yan Yan’s cousin, the gentle Mrs Ning would also make a great mother-in-law. Hence, Mrs Yan had made up her mind to marry Yan Yan into the Ning family.
Yan Yan comprehended none of her mother’s care and thought for her. Glaring at Mrs Yan, she said,
Mum, we’ve only just left Aunt’s home. Why are we going back? You can go back on your own! I’m not going! I’m going back to the imperial capital with Cousin Xun!

Mrs Yan smirked.
Don’t you want to know who poisoned your aunt, and avenge her? We’ll go back to the imperial capital together once we figure that out!

After rejecting Yan Yan, Mrs Yan told Feng Xun,
Don’t let her go back to the imperial capital with you.

Feng Xun was very easy-going in nature. He could talk to any superior figure as an equal and he didn’t mind mingling with people from all walks of life either, as long as he liked who he was talking to.
He had none of the aloof manner characteristic of men from aristocratic families, nor did he exhibit any sense of superiority or feigned amiability.
He was a man with zero consciousness of class.
However, he found it simply impossible to like Yan Yan, his naggy cousin. Luckily, Mrs Yan gave him a way out before he could think of one himself.
Feng Xun said earnestly right away,
Aunt, rest assured that Yan Yan will be going with you. Plus, I’m going back to the imperial capital with His Royal Highness. It’s common knowledge that Boss Jun hates traveling with strangers, especially strange young women.



Yan Yan was utterly baffled. She looked like she had just been struck by a thunderbolt.
