Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 447: Chapter 447 This really won’t do_1

Li Wuyu, however, said, ”Master, Father, I find the illness of Princess Linghe to be very strange, don’t you think?”

Xiao Changyi ignored her and continued to leisurely sip his tea.

Li Wuyu: ”...” Father, only my master can make you answer every question and respond to every statement, right? Right? Right?! Paying some attention to me won’t kill you—Father!

Seeing Li Wuyu’s pitiful expression, An Jing couldn’t help but feel amused, but she didn’t comment on that. Instead, she said, ”It’s fine if things are strange, but if the strangeness is meant to scheme against me and my husband, then it’s not fine~”

Listening to An Jing elongate her words, Li Wuyu felt a shiver down her spine, and pitied those who offended her master. Of course, she was more than happy to see Princess Linghe make a fool of herself. After all, that Commandery Princess always bullied her; she deserved it!

It wasn’t until Li Wuyu was about to leave that An Jing had someone bring out the jar of honey given by the Crown Princess Consort for Li Wuyu to take home. By the way, she also gave Li Wuyu two taels of bird’s nest to take home and stew.

The bird’s nest was a gift from the Emperor of Xiyun, and he had given her quite a bit, but she hadn’t tasted it yet.

She was planning to bring it home to eat later, as the bird’s nest was easy to carry and also lightweight.

Seeing that An Jing had also given her bird’s nest, Li Wuyu was moved, and was reminded of the time Wang Youbao had also given her plenty of bird’s nest, causing her to hesitate.

”Master...” Li Wuyu pursed her lips, after a long pause, she still spoke up, ”Could you do me a favor?”

An Jing asked, ”What favor?”

Li Wuyu said with hope, ”After the Emperor’s birthday banquet is over, could you talk to my father and ask if I can go with you two to Hecheng County again, just for a while, please?”

Before An Jing could speak, Xiao Changyi said, ”No.”

Li Wuyu could only look towards An Jing with a sad expression.

Her husband had already spoken, so naturally, she wouldn’t agree. An Jing smiled and said, ”Wuyu, as a young lady, it’s best for you to stay at home. If you really want to have some fun, just roam around the Capital City. Don’t go elsewhere; it’s too unsafe. If you went with us to Hecheng County again and something happened, how could we explain it to your father? Remember, you are his only daughter. Although I’ve only met your father once, I could tell that you mean the world to him.”

Li Wuyu felt even more aggrieved and murmured, ”But I want to go to Hecheng County with you... I miss my Youbao... I want to see my Youbao...”

An Jing sighed. She had expected this, but said, ”Wuyu, there might be other things I could agree to, but not this one.”

Putting aside her husband’s disagreement, even considering her disciple’s safety, she couldn’t consent.

Her disciple could indeed fight a little, but in front of a true martial artist, it was hardly impressive.

When her disciple last returned to the Capital, she had asked Meng Zhuqing to arrange for people to secretly escort her. Otherwise, how could she be at ease letting her disciple travel to the Capital alone?

Seeing An Jing’s firm attitude and that there was no room for negotiation, Li Wuyu no longer pressed her master for help. She didn’t blame An Jing either; she knew An Jing truly had her best interests at heart.

”Then, Master, Father, I shall take my leave.” Li Wuyu said dejectedly and walked away, carrying the bird’s nest and honey with her.

Watching Li Wuyu’s increasingly distant and dispirited figure, An Jing let out another sigh before saying to Xiao Changyi, ”If Wuyu never returns to Hecheng County, I’m afraid Wuyu and Youbao’s relationship can only end here.”
