Chapter 259 – Prince Jin’s Royal Manor (10)
Watching the scene of Nangong Liuyun’s back as he took large strides to walk away, Su Luo’s hands clenched tightly into fists.
She knew, her split second of hesitation hurt him. However, was she wrong?
If Nangong Liuyun was simply Nangong Liuyun, based on him protecting her and her trust in him,there shouldn’t be a lot of misunderstandings and doubt between them.
However, in reality, facts weren’t always that simple.
At least from what she knew, that Jade Lake’s fairy could influence Nangong Liuyun…Even though he knew the other party sent people to chase after her to kill her, he was still able to fool her without changing his expression. This kind of him, how could he ask her to bet all her trust on him?
She could believe him, but she could not guarantee her secrets between Nangong Liuyun and the Jade Lake’s fairy.
Therefore, in order to protect herself, she hold to fast to her secret. This way, she wasn’t wrong… She shouldn’t have done something wrong right?
The great bathing hall had a dense mist with rising steam. Taking into account Su Luo’s current mood, the dense layers of mist confused her and she couldn’t find a way out.
Since her fake identity was already unmasked by Nangong, she didn’t need to act as a fawning lowly servant again. Now, there was have no need for her to stay at Prince Jin’s Royal Manor.
Su Luo shook her head to wake herself up, afterwards, she began to tidy up her own clothing.
Here, there weren’t any women’s clothing, just Nangong Liuyun’s spacious embroidered robe.
No choice, Su Luo could only wear his clothes for now.
The clothes were made from the highest quality of heavenly silk. It was extremely soft and silky. Furthermore, it contained a little of the warmth that belonged only to him.
Su Luo felt somewhat uncomfortable, but since the situation that appeared now was like this, so she could only leave it as it is.
After she put on a hat, Su Luo directly walked towards the exit. However, before she could walk out of Nangong Liuyun’s Manor, she was stopped by the people at the gate.
At the manor gate, stood a row of armored guards. Every one of them had a dense cold and harsh expression, giving off a powerful deterrent force.
“Miss, please stop.” The chief guard among them said coldly with a solemn expression.
“I want to go out now.” Su Luo frowned, why could she not go out? Who set up this rule?
Daring to directly say His Highness Prince Jin’s real name that was a taboo? The chief guard stared at Su Luo with alarm and trepidation. His face revealed nothing but merely blocked her path: “ Without His Highness’s orders, people without tasks and such are not allowed to come and go from the manor as they please. Please, Miss Su, don’t make things difficult for us.”
Su Luo smiled: “ Didn’t I, a person without anything to do, just come in? Now I want to go out, please step aside. I don’t want to make things difficult for you people.”
The chief guard’s face was grave, not tolerant of any haggling: “Without His Highness’s written order, nobody could come and go as they please. Miss Su, you had better go back. If you insist on going out, then you only need to get His Highness’s written order.”
If she could get Nangong Liuyun’s written order, then why would she come here to try her luck? Simpleton!
Su Luo secretly grinded her teeth!
When she entered, she was disguised as a lowly manservant, now going out, she had changed back to her real appearance. If it weren’t for Nangong Liuyun letting them know earlier, how could the chief guard recognize her?
And to still say this wasn’t a sly plot by Nangong Liuyun?
“If I insist on leaving, will you people use force?” Su Luo glowered at them coldly.
“Then we could only offend, we will personally knock you unconscious and drag you back to deliver you to His Highness Prince Jin.” The chief guard lowered his eyes but responded matter-of-factly. Moreover, his attitude appeared to be very firm.
Knocked unconscious, then dragged back to be handed to his Highness Prince Jin? Su Luo was so furious she made a fist!
Without strength, then she couldn’t be firm! Even such a small captain of the guard could firmly say out loud to knock her unconscious, such disgraceful words!
Su Luo pointed at them, practically fuming with rage between gritted teeth: “Don’t you people know, you must never casually offend a woman!”
“Don’t know!” The guards said in unison!
Su Luo almost fell over!
hahah definitely shamelessness is one of their integral part of training!
thank you for the hard work :3
Hmmm….
They both act so weird >.<
Anybody know if His Highness knows that she saved him, with like all the fking money?
Please see below. I thought I replied to you but posted a separate comment 🙂
It was’t written anywhere tho, that’s what i meant.
and second part of misunderstanding i know and agree with you.
ty for comment twice 😀
Hah! You want Su Lou to trust you completely? Fix your own backyard first, then you can hope to gain her trust.
The moment he sided with his childhood friend instead of Lou who he said his beloved, there huge chance their relationship gonna get broken up by the so called childhood friend.
Thank you for the chapter.
He should know but (his butler would have told him the whole story) there is a huge misunderstanding regarding the fairy freak and what she told prince Jin. The fairy told him that she sent people to look for su Lou but in actuality they were sent to kill her—– so when su Lou asked him if he knew that the fairy sent people he would duh say yes, so now su Lou thinks he knew this but he was never aware that she was in huge danger right?!?!?! She never said anything bc right before she was going to tell him the fairy told her he would never believe anything su Lou said over what the fairy herself would say. Ugh. Don’t like these types of misunderstandings. i know she has reasons why she can’t trust him but he has been the only one this whole time who has been trust worthy?!?! Thanks for the translations. I really enjoy reading this!!!!
No, that part wasn’t the reason why Su Luo is so on guard.
It’s when she ‘jokingly’ said that JLF people tried to kill her (he can tell someone attacked her since her wrist was bruised), Liuyun defended JLF and told Su Luo to ‘not lie’
The sad part is that both side have high pride so they refuse to ever confess their deep worries properly (Liuyun is soft on her, but he still keep secrets from her, like her lineage that he heard)
Oh crap I forgot about that. Well if she jokingly said it then dammit. She should have not jokingly said it and been done with him. Ugh– still I hate these types of misunderstandings that could very easily be cleared up if they would Just communicate properly. But if he is always toying with her then ugh. Sucks. I want my otp to be on the same dang page– dight the evils of the world around them together lol.
Somehow…. I’m getting the feeling that Nangong is watching her interaction with the guards and is laughing his ass off.
Wouldn’t she have some kind of past knowledge and skills about infiltrating a place? Why is she trying to go out through the main door who’s guarded? Are assassins brainlessly going through the main doors when they’re trying to reach a target on a mission?
Nb: 3rd time I try to post my comment, I don’t get what’s wrong with this.
All three comment showed up… I’m going to remove the first two now 😉
If you don’t see your comment, try to refresh the page – then it shows. Had the same problem >.<
Yawn, is she ever going to be anything other than a weak women who is a plaything for others? Getting sick of every chapter devoted to how nicely Prince Jin’s skin glistens and all this other overly flowery crap.
Beyond ready for her to become devoted to training.
Thanks for the chapter!
thanks!
lol su luo, no, don’t feel guilt! He deserves it! whatever help he’s given, it’s not the same as letting the girl who tried to murder you get away with it unscathed! ah—!
He keeps secrets from her (regarding Jade Lake’s fairy). Why is he surprised that she keep secrets from him?
From what has happened so far, Nangong Liuyun seems to know that the ‘fairy’ isn’t as innocent as she seems. Yet he doesn’t tell Su Luo.
hahahaha,,, she really funny,,,
well,,I’m cannot trust 100% Nanggong Liuyun too…
keep your secrect make you safe…
Thanks for the chapter =)
Am I the only one that feels like this chapter has a section missing?
Nope. I feel the same.
There should be a section missing between, where SL wants to go out and where the guard is shocked that SL said NL’s name. Where and when did she mention it??
Thanks for the chapter!
