PFC Chapter 398 Fu'an County
Chapter 398 Fu'an County
Chu Zixi's heart was in turmoil at this moment. Even in that frozen state, her mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Her gaze fixed straight ahead became increasingly deep, as if she wanted to see through everything in the void.
The familiar figure not far away gradually approached, and every inch of clarity made her heartstrings tremble slightly.
She looked at the intimacy between Chen Run and the woman next to him, and an inexplicable anger surged in her heart. She wondered secretly who this strange woman who suddenly appeared was and why she could be so close to her cousin's husband.
Yu Da swiftly and quickly opened the carriage curtain and walked in. Seeing that the princess looked unhappy, she did not dare to delay her movements and was extremely respectful even though her face was full of questions.
Chu Zixi still didn't look up, but pointed out the window with a slightly trembling hand, and said in a low and firm voice: "Go and see who that woman is? Why is she so close to my cousin's husband? What is their relationship? Make sure you find out for me."
Yu Da followed Chu Zixi's gaze and immediately understood what she meant.
She nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go right away."
After saying that, Yu Da got off the carriage and walked quickly in the direction of Chen Run.
After a while, she came back and reported: "Princess, the woman's name is He Niannian, she is Chen Run's cousin and also his most recent concubine."
"What? Does my cousin know?" Chu Zixi couldn't help but raise her voice when she heard this, the shock and anger in her eyes could not be concealed.
Yu Da nodded and said, "I have already found out everything. Princess, your eldest cousin already knows about this matter, and that He is forcing Miss Yun to agree."
When Chu Zixi heard this, a nameless fire surged in her heart.
"No wonder, the two times I saw my cousin, I always felt that she was worried and her brows were always furrowed with worry. So that's why." Chu Zixi murmured to herself, "Aren't Chen Run and my cousin very affectionate? My cousin Bing'er also said that Chen Run once promised that he would not take a concubine and would stay with my cousin for the rest of his life. How long has it been since he took a concubine?"
Yu Da whispered beside him, "Princess, no one in the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion knows about this yet."
Chu Zixi was silent for a while after hearing this. She was in a hurry to go to Fu'an County and ask her cousin later. If anyone dared to bully her cousin, she would make him pay. "Let's go back to the mansion."
"Yes." Yu Da got out of the carriage and drove away.
Back in the solemn Prince Zhan's Mansion, Chu Zixi's voice, as cold as ice and snow, rang out word by word: "Yu Da, Yu Er, Yu San, Yu Si". These cold and firm words rang in the yard like the sound of a clear bell.
As soon as the voice fell, four figures slowly appeared in front of Chu Zixi. They were tall and straight. Yu Da strode out and asked first, "What do you want to tell me, Princess?"
Chu Zixi nodded gently, her inky eyes quickly swept over the four people, and finally stayed on Yu San and Yu Si like a fixed needle.
Her cold face was now more serious, and she said slowly: "Yu San, Yu Si, the two of you will stay in the palace and take care of some important matters. Yu Da and Yu Er will go with me to Fu'an County."
"As you command!" Yu Da and Yu Er responded in unison, with a determined light in their eyes. After everything was arranged, Chu Zixi immediately stood up, without any hesitation, and then turned around and walked out of the palace with Yu Da and Yu Er.
After the three of them walked out of the palace gate, Chu Zixi did not choose the leisurely way of riding in a carriage. Instead, she flashed forward, jumped on the horse swiftly, and sat steadily on the tall and majestic black horse.
She stood straight, like a snow lotus blooming in the wind, heroic and imposing, attracting the attention of passers-by.
"Let's go!" Chu Zixi gave an order, and the black horse seemed to understand its master's order. It raised its front hooves, let out a loud neigh, and then galloped away like an arrow.
Along the way, the three of them had long been accustomed to sleeping in the open air, and traveling day and night was their normal state of progress.
Chu Zixi is an excellent rider, her skillful figure seems to be integrated with the horse. Even on the rugged, winding and rocky mountain road, she can still sit firmly on the horse's back as if she were walking on flat ground. She can control the reins in her hands at will, making the horse obey her commands.
Yuda and Yuer followed closely behind her. Although the horses they rode were not as majestic as Chu Zixi's mount in terms of appearance and temperament, they were not slow at all, and their hooves flew, raising clouds of dust. The scenery along the way passed by the three of them like a painting, from the bustling and bustling town to the desolate countryside with no people and withered vegetation; from the bustling and bustling market to the silent and quiet village.
After several days of long journey, the three finally arrived in Fu'an County.
Chu Zixi sat upright on the tall and majestic horse, her eyes like two sharp swords, emitting a compelling light. Through the sparse gaps between the pedestrians, they accurately fell on the tired and distraught people.
On the street, pedestrians coming and going seemed particularly scattered. Some walked hurriedly with their heads down, as if they had endless sorrow in their hearts; some stopped where they were, looking at the bleak scene around them and sighing constantly. The entire Fu'an County seemed to be shrouded in a thick and invisible haze, as if this once vibrant county could be swallowed up at any time.
At this moment, her eyes were attracted by a woman in the corner of the street. The woman's clothes were tattered, covered with stains and patches, her face was extremely haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was sitting in a dark corner of the street, crying softly and wiping her tears with her hands. The tears were like beads with broken strings, slowly sliding down her weathered cheeks and finally dripping onto the dusty ground. However, before it could stay on the ground for a moment, it was immediately swallowed up by the ruthless dust without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
Seeing this, Chu Zixi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pity in her heart. She decisively stopped the horse, her movements as smooth and natural as flowing water. Then she lightly turned over and dismounted, walking towards the woman with steady steps.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Why are you so sad?" Chu Zixi squatted down, her tone gentle and concerned.
The woman raised her head and looked at Chu Zixi with tears in her eyes. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with despair and helplessness.
