TFDC Chapter 233.1

Chapter 233.1 - Luring him away





After Lou Qingwu agreed, Xiahou Qing immediately took her out of the residence.


He wasn’t sure when Ye Ji would begin to move but for the sake of making Lou Qingwu warm up to him after ignoring her for a few days, he spent a lot of time on this.


So when he personally took her out of the residence, he even offered to ride a horse with her.


When Lou Qingwu heard him offer this, her eyes lowered, hiding the mocking light in them.


So was Xiahou Qing actually this forgetful?


If he really was that in love with her, how could he do something like ask to ride a horse with her?


Wouldn’t that just damage her reputation unnecessarily?


She really wanted to see what Xiahou Qing was up to.


The two people only brought a handful of guards and there weren’t any problems with leaving the city.


But when they reached the outskirts of the city, Xiahou Qing started to urge the horse to ride fast.


Lou Qingwu pretended to suffer a shock and called him to go slower.


But he laughed and said he wanted to bring her to a place and they didn’t have much time, so he wanted to ride a bit faster.


In the end, Lou Qingwu grew silent.


So as the horse rode further and further, the guards behind them were being left behind, one after another.


They couldn’t catch up with how fast Xiahou Qing was going and slowly, they lost sight of Xiahou Qing’s horse.


Lou Qingwu’s eyes grew cold ….


After an hour, Xiahou Qing’s guards were ragged as they staggered back to the Lou residence.


They told the residence that the third prince and Lou Qingwu were missing and instantly, the Lou residence’s servants ran around frantically.


Lan Bai and Thousand Face’s faces changed immediately when they received news.


They hurriedly told Little Bell to stay put in the Leaning Wind Pavilion and if their master came back, to quickly tell them.


Then they both quickly left to look for Lou Qingwu.


They really shouldn’t have been so dismissive but how could they have known that the third prince would take Lou Qingwu out of the city so soon before their wedding?


And they went missing too.


And after the two of them left the city, Little Bell silently snuck out of the residence, hurriedly rushing towards the Night Prince’s residence.


When she reached the Night Prince’s residence, she was hesitant and panicked, quickly attracting the attention of the guards outside.


One of the guards saw her pacing back and forth but not leaving, so he went to shoo her away.


But at this time, Little Bell had finally grabbed an opportunity.


She grabbed the guard’s sleeve, speaking uneasily, “I, I don’t know if I can go into the Night Prince’s residence? I have something important to report.”


“Go away, who do you think you are? Can anyone just come and see the Night Prince? Hurry up and leave or don’t blame us if we lose our tempers.” How could the guard let such an ordinary looking girl see the Night Prince just because she wanted to?


Even they couldn’t see the Night Prince easily.


Little Bell was about to cry from frustration. “I, I’m from the Lou residence. You just have to tell the Night Prince that and he’ll definitely come and see me.”

“The Lou residence?” The guard’s hands suddenly stopped, “What relationship do you have with the Lou residence’s eldest daughter?”


“I’m her personal servant. I want to talk to the Night Prince about my master. It’s really urgent. It might be too late if I don’t see him now!”


“This …” The guard was a bit uncertain.


After all, who didn’t know that the person the Night Prince cared about the most was the Lou residence’s eldest daughter.


Furthermore, he even went to the palace to ask for her hand in marriage.


Even though he wasn’t successful, they all still knew how important the Lou residence girl was to their master.


The guard hesitated for a while before glaring at Little Bell, “You, wait here. I’ll go and ask!”


After the guard spoke, he turned around and pointed to another guard before pointing to Little Bell.


The other guard also hesitated before hurrying into the residence.

  2. Ancient China things revolving around reputation are still weird/foreign to me.

    Still, one more mark against Xiahou Qing (not that we needed more) is always appreciated :P

    LAN BAI CUTIE IS FINE! *cough* I mean, D: Where could LQW have been brought to?! Yup! That's the only thing that was on my mind. How could Xiahou Qing do this to her?!

    1. There's kind of a similar concept in the Victorian era in Britain-ish. A girl's reputation would impact how well she married 🔪🔪

      Lan Bai is okay (for now) 💕💕
