On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 188: Commandery Princess Returns
Chapter 188 -188: Commandery Princess Returns
“Boss,” he said. “Do you still remember that girl from three years ago? I saw her again today. She was dressed as a man, but I recognized her stunning beauty at first glance.”
Upon hearing this, Scar Face furrowed his brow. “Da Dao, what nonsense are you talking about?”
That girl was clearly dead.
Back then, they had moved from their original location to this place precisely to avoid the oppression of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion.
Da Dao said uneasily, “That girl was with several formidable men last night. Xiaoshan, that bastard, took the opportunity to ask them for help, and that’s why I couldn’t capture Xiaoshan.”
“Boss, do you think Xiaoshan might betray our location to Prince Zhenbei Mansion?”
Regarding Da Dao’s question, Scar Face sneered, the scar on his face appearing even more sinister. “Xiaoshan has been in our gang for less than a year. How would he know about our feud with Prince Zhenbei Mansion?”
Hearing this, Da Dao felt a bit relieved.
However, recalling the face he had just seen, he shivered uncontrollably.
Recently, people in the gang had been having nightmares.
Everyone said it was that girl from that year, coming back to claim their lives.
The boss didn’t believe it and stubbornly found a reason, saying there was something wrong with the spring water, causing hallucinations.
While everyone was still skeptical, he personally saw that girl.
In front of Scar Face, Da Dao dared not speak further.
But it wasn’t long before a rumor spread throughout the gang, saying that the girl’s restless spirit had returned to seek revenge.
For a time, it caused widespread panic.

Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan’s group left the sparsely populated area and reached the marketplace when night had already fallen.
Xiaoshan followed them, reluctant to leave.
Leng Yu Yan had Miao Zhu hand out one ingot of silver to him. “Go find your family.”
Xiaoshan didn’t take the silver but instead fell to his knees, causing passersby to stop and watch.
Looking at the exceptionally beautiful young master before him, Xiaoshan kowtowed, “Thank you, Young Master, for saving my life. I, Xiaoshan, am willing to serve you as a slave or a horse!”
Miao Zhu frowned. “Stand up first. Isn’t this behavior of yours forcing my master to keep you? Look at you, all dirty. How can you serve the master like this?”
“I have been captured by the bandits for nearly a year. My parents are no longer alive. Please take me in, Master!” As he spoke, Xiaoshan attempted to kowtow again.
Leng Yu Yan stepped to the side to avoid his kowtows. “First get up. Consider this period a trial. If you are diligent, I might consider keeping you by my side.”

If his background turns out to be clean, it’s feasible to send him to Linqing Pavilion later.
Hearing this, Xiaoshan was overjoyed.
Ye Yiheng watched this scene unfold, his fingers twitched slightly. Leng Yu Yan this woman really meddles too much.
But admittedly, her kindness was praiseworthy.
He found himself at a loss for words for a moment.
The group entered an inn.
The inn’s waiter, seeing one among them covered in dirt and stench, pinched his nose and waved his hand. “Such a filthy person, don’t dirty our inn’s beds!”
Leng Yu Yan glanced lightly at the waiter then turned to Xiaoshan, “First go to your room to bathe, then come down to eat.”
Then she spoke to Miao Zhu, “Give him a set of your clothes.”
Miao Zhu agreed, pulling a set of male clothes from his bundle for Xiaoshan.
“Thank you, Young Master!” Xiaoshan wiped his hands on his body, still afraid of dirtying the clothes, and said sheepishly, “Brother Miao Zhu, could you please help me put the clothes in my room?”
Being suddenly addressed as “Brother,” Miao Zhu’s expression stiffened for a moment before he quickly recovered and said indifferently, “Alright.”
When it was time for dinner, Xiaoshan came downstairs.
He approached Leng Yu Yan and bowed, “Young Master, I have cleaned myself.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished to find that he was a white-haired youth.
To what extent must one be dirty to turn a head full of white hair entirely black?
Miao Zhu couldn’t help muttering, “Had you gone to mine coal before?”
Now looking at him, his features were quite handsome; apart from the overly mismatched white hair, everything else revealed he was a handsome and delicate youth.
Song Guo also curiously asked, “Why is your hair like this?”
Xiaoshan answered, “I was born with white hair, and in the village, it was seen as inauspicious. After my parents passed away, I roamed everywhere. Later, I was captured and taken to the bandit stronghold where I became a laborer and ended up neither human nor ghost.”
Due to his white hair, he was often beaten in the stronghold.
He couldn’t take it anymore and had escaped. Unexpectedly, he was discovered and just as he was about to be caught, he encountered this incredibly beautiful and handsome young master.
Leng Yu Yan spoke lightly, “Being born with white hair is no big deal and should not be seen as a bad omen. From now on, you will follow me, and no one else should look down on you because of this.”
Xiaoshan’s eyes suddenly filled with tears, “Thank you, Young Master!”
The incredibly beautiful young master before him was not only his savior but also the first person in the world to say he wasn’t an inauspicious person!
“Sit down and eat,” Leng Yu Yan moved his chopsticks.
Being able to dine with his master, Xiaoshan was so moved that tears flooded his eyes, flowing into his rice bowl and then back into his stomach.
Miao Zhu couldn’t help but laugh at his appearance.
Song Guo followed with a laugh, “One Miao Zhu, one Xiaoshan, excellent, excellent!”
From then on, there was an additional person serving Lady Yu Yan.
After speaking, he belatedly realized that His Highness’s face was almost frozen with coldness.
Ye Yiheng ate with methodical slowness.
Beside him, Mo Chen and Ruofeng could only exchange looks, not daring to make a sound.
Lady Yu Yan had saved a youth, and even though the youth was a bit unattractive, he happened to also look quite nice. Most importantly, he was sweet-tongued and in just a few words, had convinced Lady Yu Yan to keep him.
Your Highness had tried everything to have Lady Yu Yan stay by his side but to no avail, searching far and wide.
Now, a white-haired brat had easily stayed by Lady Yu Yan’s side.
They all felt dejected on behalf of His Highness.
In their view, whether it was His Highness staying by Lady Yu Yan’s side or Vice Versa, it didn’t really matter, as long as they were together.

Several days later.
Lai Ran and Lai Yuxing were becoming increasingly depressed.
The reason was simple; they had sent out forces in two directions, one towards the capital city and the other towards Jiangzhou.
However, after so long, there had been no news back to Beilan City.
One day, a servant hurriedly rushed back to the Prince Mansion.
Lai Yusheng and Lai Yuqing stopped him, “What is the rush, what happened?”
“Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master, I saw the Commandery Princess on the street! The Commandery Princess has returned!”
Lai Yusheng frowned and slapped the top of the servant’s head, “Commandery Princess?”
The servant, rubbing his head, “I’m not mistaken, it was indeed the Commandery Princess, just dressed in men’s clothes.”
At that, Lai Yuqing also couldn’t help but slap the servant’s head.
Their Prince Mansion had only one Commandery Princess, and that was Mian’er.
Everyone in the mansion knew Mian’er was gone; how could she have returned?
Lai Yuqing, seeing the commotion at the gate of the Prince Mansion, hurried over and chided, “Third and Fourth, how old are you to still be hitting randomly?”
