It had drizzled here earlier, soaking the blue bricks and red tiles, as well as the limestone floor. A pair of clean white embroidered shoes gently crossed the threshold and stepped on the wet ground.
She held her skirt in one hand and moved very carefully.
Prince Yan’s gaze landed on that beautiful face. The chaotic appearance in his memory gradually became clear, as if a fair hand had pushed aside the veil that had been covering his eyes. He saw the face that was engraved in the depths of his memory.
She was an invincible beauty.
!!
More than ten years had passed, but there did not seem to be many traces of time on her face. However, she had become quieter. There was less immaturity between her eyebrows and more quiet gentleness.
She loved to dress up and always had to tidy herself up. However, she did not put on any makeup now. She had a clean face and watery eyes. Her black hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin. She was no longer the Shangguan Yan who was always blinding in his memories.
She became an ordinary and quiet woman.
There were still many things he could not remember, but images of her flashed across his mind uncontrollably the moment he saw her.
Cong’er looked seventy percent like him, but the remaining thirty percent looked like her.
There was no need to ask who she was. Between them, there was the deepest bond in the world.
“Aiya! Who is this? Why are you staring at my madam!” The little maidservant carefully took care of Shangguan Yan and paid attention to the possible danger in all directions, so she immediately saw the man staring at her madam.
Prince Yan was wearing a mask. The little maidservant was not familiar enough to recognize him as Yan Jiuchao’s biological father through half of his face.
Shangguan Yan followed the maidservant’s gaze and saw the thin figure. When she saw that familiar pair of eyes, her body trembled!
“Madam!”
“Princess Consort!”
The maidservant and Shadow Six’s voices sounded in unison.
The maidservant was stunned. “Eh? Shadow Guard?” She looked at Shadow Thirteen. “Why are you here?”
As Yan Jiuchao’s trusted aides, Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six had naturally been to the Xiao Manor. Shangguan Yan had also stayed in the Young Master Manor and knew each other. This little girl was a servant Shangguan Yan had bought last year and her name was Xing Zhu.
Xing Zhu was a servant of the Xiao Manor, so she naturally called Shangguan Yan Madam. However, Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen took after their Young Master’s status and had always called her Princess Consort.
Prince Yan was stunned when he heard the word Princess Consort.
Shangguan Yan let go of the maidservant’s hand and walked towards Prince Yan in a daze. “Your Highness, is that you?” She stopped in front of Prince Yan and choked.
Prince Yan’s gaze landed on the bulging stomach she was holding in one hand.
Yes.
She was married.
She married the world’s Grand Marshal, Xiao Zhenting.
She was no longer his wife.
Shangguan Yan did not care about his sizing her up yet. She was anxious to confirm his identity. Her eyes turned red as she raised her trembling hand to take off the mask on his face.
Prince Yan was immersed in shock and could not dodge in time. She took off the mask. When she saw the hideous scar that ran through the entire left side of his face, she could no longer control herself and cried.
She cried her heart out.
Shangguan Yan, who had argued with most of the Capital, had never broken down. Prince Yan wanted to walk forward. His fingertips moved. He could not move. Not anymore. She was not his Princess Consort.
Xiao Zhenting could hear Shangguan Yan wailing from afar. He was so frightened that he jumped out of the carriage and rushed towards his wife like a hurricane.
“What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Who bullied you? Did that kid kick you again? When he comes out, I’ll slap him!” Xiao Zhenting supported Shangguan Yan and was as anxious as a helpless brat. Grand Marshal Xiao, who had won a hundred battles, had never accompanied a woman through ten months of pregnancy. He had no experience!
He only knew that women became crybaby after they got pregnant. But this was the first time she cried like this. Was that kid too naughty?
He didn’t want this kid anymore if he tortured his woman like this!!!
But soon, Xiao Zhenting sensed that something was wrong. Everyone had strange expressions. The maidservant wanted to say something but hesitated. She lowered her head, looking like she wanted to disappear.
He turned his head and saw Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six. They were Yan Jiuchao’s secret guards. Why were they here?
In the end, he looked at the lonely Prince Yan.
In fact, when he jumped off the carriage, the first person he saw from the corner of his eye was this figure. However, for some reason, he forced himself to ignore him and walked towards Shangguan Yan.
