Chapter 1533: Escaped a Calamity?
*Bam. Bam, bam!* Inside the Vassal King of An'nan's Estate, after someone knocked away a protruding stone slab inside a remote woodshed, a soiled figure scrambled out from within.
"Cough. Cough, cough." Commandery Princess Yi'an vigorously waved away the dust and coughed to clear her throat. She then turned to Xu'er, who had lunged over in tears.
"Xu'er."
"Cough, cough. Cough. Commandery Princess!" Xu'er hastily went up to support Yi'an and cried out, "Commandery Princess, are you fine! Did you get hurt? Did you?"
"I didn't get hurt." Commandery Princess Yi'an brushed away Xu'er's hands in indignation as she shouted angrily, "Absolutely ridiculous! This d*mn Chou Fu actually locked up this commandery princess inside that kind of woodshed for a day and night. He won't be hearing the end of this!"
That woodshed had collapsed for some reason in the middle of the night and buried Yi'an for most of the night. It wasn't until now that she had finally managed to climb out from the heap of wood.
This was simply a galling disgrace. An august commandery princess had actually been buried inside a woodshed the whole night. How hateful, how abominable, how detestable!
Not only did Chou Fu, this d*mn man, have bad moral character, he didn't even accord the most basic respect for his wife. She flared up just thinking about it.
Yi'an waved away the dust in front of her and walked toward the forecourt with Xu'er.
"Commandery Princess, we had best pack up and flee."
"What flee? Could I, the august Commandery Princess Yi'an, be scared of the Vassal Prince of An'nan?" Yi'an rebuked angrily.
"No, Commandery Princess, the Vassal King of An'nan's Estate right now…"
Yi'an did not listen to what Xu'er was saying and charged to the forecourt while fuming. It was only then that she realized that there wasn't a soul in sight.
"What's going on?" Commandery Princess Yi'an looked at Xu'er in confusion. "Where the hell have all the people in this estate gone to?"
"A lot of people came last night and brought away everyone inside the Vassal King of An'nan's Estate." Xu'er retold while wiping her tears, "This servant does not know what had happened either. This servant dared not run up to take a look and only heard a noisy uproar while hiding in a corner."
Chou Fu locked Yi'an up in a remote woodshed, but she was unaware that she had escaped a calamity.
As for Xu'er, she really had Commandery Princess Yi'an to thank. When she discovered that things weren't right after hiding in a corner, she dashed over to the woodshed to hide.
Luckily, this woodshed was truly very remote, to the point that the passing soldiers merely poked their heads over and cast it several glances. They immediately left after discovering that it was only a woodshed.
The focus point of the soldiers' search last night was the masters' backyards. They had practically unearthed all the tiles and bricks to look for something.
Yi'an was full of misgivings, and she looked to Xu'er. "How about you sneak out and make some inquiries. I'll be waiting for you here."
Xu'er could only nod her head.
As Yi'an sat alone in the silent residential compound, goosebumps surfaced on her arms.
She felt like there was an evil wind blowing in the surroundings, and it felt suffocating sitting in this main hall.
Besides… she looked down at that small cut beside her navel. It had been three days, yet this wound hadn't stopped bleeding!
This made Yi'an feel like she had seen a ghost, and she started to get anxious.
After half an hour, Xu'er ran back panickedly and cried, "Commandery Princess, let us hurry, hurry and pack up some valuables. We really have to flee!"
"What exactly happened!" Seeing that Xu'er was ghastly pale and was practically about to faint, a bad premonition surfaced in Yi'an's heart.
