Invisible decision

  Three Kings' Mansion

  Just as the heavy rain was approaching, Wu Mingyuan was sitting in his study, listening to Rong Guang's calm narration of Xiao Congrong and Ya Niang leaving the Xiao family and going to the Yu family's large courtyard, he furrowed his brow.

  "Yu's big house? Isn't it said to be a haunted mansion?" He furrowed his brow and looked at Rong Guang, asking in puzzlement: "Did that woman really not want the Xiang family's silver and leave with nothing?"

  "As for what Your Highness said, the scout indeed reported that the third young lady and her maid packed a few changes of clothes and left the Xiao family. The silver given by Madame Xiao was not accepted by the third young lady!"

  The study was quiet, and Wu Mingyuan smiled coldly: "Old Master Hou hasn't appeared?"

  Rong Guang bowed his head and said: "The old marquis left early in the morning, I don't know where he went... The scout lost him..."

  Wu Mingyuan's eyes coldly swept over him, Rong Guang didn't raise his head but still felt the chill, lowering his head even further: "Please punish me, Your Highness!"

  "Alright, alright! The old man has been through a hundred battles and has crossed more bridges than you've walked roads. It's no wonder he got lost! Add some more manpower and go!"

  "Yes, Your Highness!" Rong Guang retreated.

  Wu Mingyuan took the teacup, lifted the lid and took a sip of tea. The tea had already gone cold, he furrowed his brow and put it back down. In his mind, he inexplicably thought of Xiao Congrong's words when she smashed the teacup: "Love to the end... spilled water is hard to recover..."

  He couldn't help but admit that Xiao Zong's composure at that moment gave him a strange feeling, which was also the main reason why he often lost his mind after she left.

  Suddenly, amidst the carefree and nonchalant demeanor, an invisible firmness emerged... The slender shoulders gave off a sense of stability as heavy as Mount Tai... He didn't know if it was an illusion, but at that moment, Xiao Congrong seemed like two different people from the one he had always known!

  "Third Prince... Third Highness..." She had never called him Brother Yuan from the start, and he felt like something was missing at that time. It wasn't until now that he realized she had made up her mind to be estranged from him since she entered the palace, so her address was also distant.

  Thinking of this, Wu Mingyuan felt a little empty in his heart. This title had been with him for over ten years, right? From the tender "Brother Yuan" to the spoiled, pleading, sad and angry "Brother Yuan", he used to hear it so much that he found it annoying, but now that it's gone, he suddenly feels like something is missing!

  "Rong Rong likes you so much, yet you ruthlessly broke her leg. Even if you don't like her, don't you think it's too cruel to treat a woman who likes you this way?"

  Wu Ming Hao's angry rebuke still echoed in her ears, and his eyebrows furrowed again. Could she really not get up? This was unexpected, he had only wanted to punish her a little, and hadn't thought that she would never be able to get up again!

  When Rong Guang reported back to Da Fu that she couldn't get up, he had thought that if she came back, he would find a doctor for her to treat her leg... No matter whether he liked her or not, the fact that she had once sacrificed herself to save his life could not be erased. He didn't want to have the reputation of being ungrateful and disloyal.

  But she came back, and it was an automatic request for leave... declaring that she had nothing to do with him anymore!

  Wu Mingyuan suddenly became angry and swept the teacup off the table, watching as it shattered. He coldly sneered: "Xiao Zongrong, when you should have dignity, you don't; when you shouldn't be arrogant, you are. You even refused the silver from the Xiao family after breaking your leg. I'll see just how long you can keep being so willful!"
