Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince - Chapter 590: For The Invitation
“Let’s go.”
Ye Tian Yun stood up and gestured at Jun Xie.
They were chatting for the last few minutes, and as the sun had begun to set, Ye Tian Yun knew it was time to head to the Purple Spring Garden.
“Where are you going?” Zheng Xiang, who was unaware of the daily visits to the garden, couldn’t help but ask.
“Purple Spring Garden.” Ye Tian Yun said, “I need Jun Xie’s help to get in. We will be back in an hour or so, be ready by then. Oh, and tell the two young ladies too, we will all be going to Gao Xuan’s tavern.”
“Alright,” Zheng Xiang nodded, “I will practice my Sword Technique in the meantime. Senior Brother Jun’s illusion technique is my biggest nemesis.”
Jun Xie shrugged, “You will get there. As Fang Chen said, be consistent.”
Ye Tian Yun nodded, “Yeah, well, let’s go.” Glancing at Jun Xie, he added, “Tell Miss Wu about the dinner at the tavern too.”
“Alright.”
“Head to my room when you’re ready. We will then head to the Garden.”
Jun Xie lightly nodded as Ye Tian Yun left the scene.
“Why does he need to go back to his room?” Zheng Xiang asked in confusion.
“He’s not going there as Fang Chen.” Jun Xie replied.
“Ah, got it.” Zheng Xiang nodded lightly, “Welp, I will go and tell Qing’er about the dinner.”
“Hm…” Jun Xie lightly nodded, and they both headed for the other two rooms in the courtyard.
…
Jun Xie hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door.
“It’s me.”
Zheng Xiang had already gone to Bai Qing’er’s room, and they were discussing dinner at Xuan Tavern.
Faint footsteps slowly approached the door as Jun Xie waited on the other side.
Click!
The doors were pulled open, and a breathtaking face appeared in front of Jun Xie.
“What happened?” Wu Qingwu was surprised to see Jun Xie.
‘This is the first time he came to my place….’
“Um…” Jun Xie cleared his throat and said, “Brother Fang’s friend has invited us for dinner. Would you like to join us?”
Wu Qingwu smiled, “All of us are going?”
“Yeah.”
“Alright,” She smiled, “When are we leaving?”
“After an hour or so.”
“Oh, that’s enough,” She thought for a moment and asked, “Is it a banquet or just a dinner?”
Jun Xie shrugged, “Fang Chen never said anything about a banquet, so I guess it’s okay to assume that it’s just a simple dinner.”
“Hmm, what do you think I should wear?” She put on a thoughtful expression, “Why don’t you help me choose a dress?”
“Um… Fang Chen is waiting for me, and we need to leave in a few minutes….”
“Oh, come on, it will only take a few minutes.”
“…Alright.”
…
The Main Courtyard, Fang Clan.
Tap!
Prime Minister and Madam Fang landed back on the balcony of the second floor.
Supporting his wife, he helped her sit on a chair and gave her a glass of water to drink.
“It must have been a shock to you….” He sighed, “Have some rest for tonight. I will wrap up my work in some time and come back to you.”
“Un.”
Prime Minister Fang caressed and consoled her for a few minutes and then left the room.
He went directly to Madam Fang Bai’s courtyard and called her out, “Xiao Bai…”
“Hm?” Madam Fang Bai stepped out and was confused upon seeing the worried expression on her brother’s face, “What happened, Elder Brother? Is everything alright?”
“…it’s not.” He sighed, “I finally had the courage to tell her the whole truth and even brought her to the ruins of Fang Clan.”
“Ruins… the graveyard!”
“Yes…” Prime Minister Fang sighed.
“I will go right now!” Madam Fang Bai moved, “How is she?”
“She’s not good, and she needs you right now.”
Madam Fang Bai pursed her lips, “I understand, but how about you postpone your work for today and be with her?”
“I will come in a few minutes.”
“Alright.” Madam Fang Bai nodded and directly flew towards the balcony of the second floor.
Prime Minister Fang closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
‘She’s a strong woman. I am sure she won’t fall….’
Regaining his composure, he left for his study room.
After a few minutes, just as he was about to sit in the study room, there was a knock on the door.
“…Come in.” He said.
Ye Tian Yun stepped in, still in Fang Chen’s disguise.
“What happened?” Prime Minister Fang asked.
Ye Tian Yun frowned, “What happened to you? Did something happen?”
“…no, nothing happened, just reminiscing the old years,” Prime Minister started to arrange the papers on the desk, “I am a bit busy at this moment, tell me why you have come here?”
“Oh, I just wanted to let you know that I will be leaving the city after five days.”
“Hm?” Prime Minister Fang thought for a moment and asked, “Will you be able to come back before the marriage?”
“…I can’t say for sure.”
Prime Minister Fang pursed his lips, and after a lengthy silence, he said, “You can go, but try to come back in time. I don’t want the alliance to get embarrassed in front of the whole world because of your delay.”
Ye Tian Yun nodded, “I understand. Also, I will be going out later tonight for dinner. Do you want to join?”
“Hm? Where?” Prime Minister Fang was a bit taken aback by this.
“You know Gao Clan’s Fourth Young Master, Gao Xuan? Well, he has invited me to his new tavern for dinner and has even told me to bring along friends and family, so I was just asking if you have time for later.”
Prime Minister Fang thought for a moment and then nodded, “Alright, when are you planning to leave?”
“In an hour.”
“Alright, if your mother agrees, then I will come…. No, wait…” An idea suddenly dawned upon Prime Minister Fang, “Why don’t you invite your mother yourself? Her mood is quite off right now; maybe this dinner might help her improve it.”
