Chapter 1246 - 41: Love Debt (Part 17)_4
In short, that face was basking in the sun from every angle, an unmissable 360 degrees.Upon arriving at the Nanlin Border, Princess Yinchuan’s face had tanned another shade darker.
Princess Yinchuan had it all thought out.
The Heir’s wife of Prince Zhenbei of Daqi is an expert in medical skills. She’s bound to be able to cure her tanned complexion. Since she can be cured, she doesn’t fear further tanning, growing her chest is more important.
Her chest had magically inflated, reclaiming more than half of its growth from years in just a few months.
She had to keep up the good work.
Besides, tanning a bit could also please Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.
With this tan, Dongxiang Marquis Mansion might be grateful for annulling the engagement and thus wouldn’t hold a grudge against Zhao Xu.
And then—
Princess Yinchuan went all out in ruining her face.
Su Yang couldn’t persuade her otherwise.
"Anyway, I’m already this tanned. I’m going to Daqi to treat my face," said Princess Yinchuan.
"...."
Su Yang was speechless.
He planned to confess to Princess Yinchuan that he was the Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.
Since the engagement was already annulled, there was no harm in confessing.
But just as he was about to confess at the small tea stall, Princess Yinchuan went to wash her hands, and Su Yang sat there drinking tea, waiting to confess upon her return.
It turned out to be sheer coincidence that the next table was discussing him and Princess Yinchuan.
The tale of the rooster and hen replacing them in the wedding had traveled a thousand miles, reaching the border.
Su Yang, "...!!!"
He couldn’t believe it.
He asked the people at the next table, confirming the tale was true.
Su Yang was burning with anger, not knowing what to do.
Even though it wasn’t him who personally wed, since a rooster stood in his place, he had to acknowledge it.
Princess Yinchuan returned from washing her hands and said, "You just mentioned you had something to confess, what is it?"
Su Yang, "...."
If he hadn’t heard about this matter, he would have spoken the truth.
Now, he could only bluff his way through.
If she found out he was the Second Young Master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion and had already married Princess Beimo, she’d likely leave immediately if all she could do was be a concubine following him.
The distance to the Capital City of Daqi was still considerable, and he had to think of a win-win solution.
"I, I need to confess, I’m out of money," Su Yang’s voice was a bit shaky.
"...."
Was that all?
She was scared for a moment by his previously serious demeanor.
Princess Yinchuan rummaged through her bundle and said, "I have money."
As she spoke, she handed a silver note to Su Yang.
Su Yang refused and said, "No need, how can a man use a woman’s money?"
"Then what will you do without money?" Princess Yinchuan asked.
"I’ll rob a few corrupt officials, no lack of money to use."
Robbing others was not allowed, but robbing corrupt officials was something the Emperor turned a blind eye to.
Princess Yinchuan quietly said, "As we go further, we’ll reach Daqi; don’t do anything reckless."
"I know my limits," Su Yang said.
Princess Yinchuan was reassured.
Only when they reached Daqi did she realize Su Yang’s idea of limits involved forging the token of Dongxiang Marquis of Daqi, almost scaring her out of her wits.
She couldn’t even tell how many tokens he had stashed away.
Under Princess Yinchuan’s pressure, Su Yang took out all the tokens he had on him.
He had returned the token of General Shi before leaving but acquired a real one from Zhao Xu.
Besides this one, there was also one from Beimo.
He might need to hide in Beimo if necessary, after all, the most dangerous place is often the safest.
The King of Beimo would never expect him to elope right under his nose.
So, there’s a Beimo token as well.
However, this token is genuine, as he had the Ninth Prince obtain it from the palace.
Hmm.
It was a trick, making the Ninth Prince and others believe he went to Beimo, and if he couldn’t withstand the Emperor’s interrogation and confessed, the pursuers would head toward Beimo.
Therefore, all three tokens were real.
Princess Yinchuan held the Beimo token, pondering, "Your token here is made so well it could pass for the real thing."
Even she, as Princess Beimo, couldn’t tell where it was fake.
Su Yang did not explain, just letting Princess Yinchuan misunderstand.
He had more troubling concerns now.
Could he possibly divorce Princess Beimo?
If he casually handed her a divorce decree, would the King of Beimo become so enraged that he’d incite war?
Moreover, he eloped using a rooster for the wedding; was it out of a forced move that Princess Beimo also used a hen to substitute?
Was it an act of anger?
Su Yang didn’t think about Princess Yinchuan eloping as well, after all, the King of Beimo wasn’t just an average king who wanted his daughter to marry him.
It was highly unlikely for the King of Beimo to allow his daughter to elope.
Even less that, after eloping, the Flying Tiger Army, knowing this, would choose to escort an empty bridal sedan back to Daqi...
Su Yang pondered over and over, thinking it highly likely that his father had released fake news to provoke him into returning to the capital after escaping marriage.
His father always had ulterior motives, and this time was undoubtedly no exception!
