Don’t worry, i’ll divorce you - Chapter 24 Iron Place 2
A few hours ago,
Prince Li takes some officers to search iron place, to find any clue about the illegal weapons. While asking about the illegal weapons, Prince Li also use this chance to ask about a dagger with clover symbol,
One of the blacksmith listens to Prince Li's question confusedly,
"Its strange,…why everyone today has interest to find such dagger?"
"What do you mean? Has someone else asking about dagger with clover symbol?" Prince Li asks curiously
"Yeah, just now there is an elegant man and a beauty woman asking about the same dagger. The woman even shows me the dagger picture…"
Prince Li thanks for the information, and then he is thinking about what that blacksmith said.
'A beauty woman with dagger picture? Could it be HuaMuTan? But she came with who? An elegant man? Her partner in crime?…'
ManQi comes suddenly to report,
"Master, we have questioning every blacksmiths but no clue yet."
"Hm, the thief we caught clearly said that he sees the caravan entering this place…they must be having a good hiding place around here…"
Sudden a little boy shouts along the way,
"There is fire…fire in the woods.."
Some people take the action immediately to check the fire.
"Let us help them too" Prince Li stands immediately and go with ManQi and other officers.
In a short time, they arrive to the lodge and put off the fire. The old lodge has burned all. When the fire has been extinguished, the people has returns coz nothing can be seen from a burning old lodge. But Prince Li and his men still there to check the ruin, coz Prince Li thinks,
'This lodge can be a perfect place to hide…does someone burn this lodge purposely to cover something?'
Unfortunately they don't find anything.
Out of the lodge, Prince Li walks and observes around. ManQi who also observes the other sides suddenly sees someones out from the woods. When he recognizes the figures, it surprises him. He immediately gestures Prince Li to see it too,
"Master, look…"
He widens his eyes for what he sees, Prince FengEr is walking with TanTan so closely and carefully, they walk out from the woods.
'What a coincidence! When I am looking about the illegal weapons. and here I meet her again…?" But he also wonders why Prince FengEr can be with HuaMuTan. He rushes to approach them.
Prince FengEr and TanTan also surprise to see Prince Li and his men there. They actually come back coz they notice the fire. Prince Li greets Prince FengEr politely.
"San Wang Ge…" He gives an unpleasing cool look, seeing how TanTan walks so closely with Prince FengEr. No matter what, HuaMuTan is known as his legal wife so it can't be good to be seen intimately with other man. He is thinking it might be bad for PrincE FengEr's good name also.
It seems Prince FengEr knows what he is thinking so he explains immediately
"Wei Di, good to see you here. Ah, please don't mistaken us, MuTan Mei sprained her ankle so I help her walking…but you are here, so now you can take care of your wife…"
Smoothly Prince FengEr pushes TanTan's body to Prince Li. Without he realizes, Prince Li has taken her with his hands.
Uncomfort with the position, TanTan frees herself and tries to hold the pain.
"Its okay…I can walk by myself"
But Prince Li keeps holding her arm,
"What happened? Why are you here with San Wang Ge?" he asks curiously.
"Isn't it obviously? I am coming here to find a clue about the dagger…" TanTan explains,
"By dragging the Third Prince with you?? How bold and careless you are! You can put him in danger!!" Prince Li doesn't care if ManQi and the other officers are looking to them when he scolded TanTan loudly. Actually in his mind, he feels once again this HuaMuTan is so dare to put herself in danger after being saved by him last time…Is she really careless or trying to take an attention from these situations?!"
'He doesn't concern at all about my safety but the Prince FengEr's safety? Great…' She feels upset, but can't reply his words for she did use Prince FengEr as a bait to rule the enemy. It gives an unpleasing silent between them.
Prince FengEr feels regretful about it,
"Wei Di, please don't be angry to MuTan Mei. It was me who willing to accompany her voluntarily …Now why don't we sit down and talk about it. You will really want to listen what we had found, WeiDi."
Prince Li seems unsatisfying with Prince FengEr's explanation, he stared sharply to TanTan,
"Fine…Lets talk at home!" Left hand of Prince FengEr keeps holding TanTan's arm while he uses his right hand to whistling, calling his horse.
The horse is obediently coming nearby Prince Li. Then Prince Li gestures TanTan to ride on the horse.
TanTan confused with his attitude,
'Why does he kindly offer me ride with him if he so mad to me?!'
"Just ride on…or do you want to bother SanWangGe again to help you walk?" He says sharply.
At once, TanTan catches the reason,
'He cares about Prince FengEr's reputation. He afraid if there will be a bad rumours between me and Prince FengEr?'
TanTan doesn't want that happen also so she obeys to ride on the horse, but the pain on her ankle makes her a little bit difficult to ride on by herself. Suddenly Prince Li carries her up on the horse and then sit at her back. It startled TanTan till she becomes speechless and just sit obediently. He looks back to Prince FengEr,
"SanWangGe, let's meet at Li Mansion later…I want to know everything that happened here…" He turns to ManQi,
" ManQi, assist Third Prince!"
"Yes, Master" ManQi gestures obediently.
Then Prince Li and TanTan leave the area.
Prince FengEr keep watching they go with undescribed look till ManQi speaks to him,
"Shall we go now, Third Prince?"
"Oh yeah…sure…ah, don't forget ask your officers to bring over one dead body in the wood…maybe it will be useful for the investigation later"
"I understand, Third Prince"
And like that, ManQi forwards Prince FengEr's words to some officers, then he is also taking his horse and assisting Prince FengEr back to Li Mansion.
