Chapter 992: Parting (I)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Little Jiajia didn’t go to the palace school the next day. Song Jingchen returned from school. As soon as he entered the residence, he saw more than ten mahogany boxes of various sizes in the courtyard.
s.h.i.+ An explained, “That Chu Feng went to the palace this morning. At noon, His Majesty sent someone to send these over. He said that they were gifts for the princess to bring back to the Xuanyuan Kingdom.”
Song Jingchen paused. “When are they leaving?
“They said that they wanted to go back before New Year’s Eve. They’ll leave tomorrow.”
s.h.i.+ An sighed inwardly.
The Bulwark Duke’s residence was considered one of the top n.o.ble houses in Great Xia, but it could not compare to Lord Jing’an’s residence in the Xuanyuan Kingdom. Could Lord Jing’an bear to marry his daughter off to the heir?
In any case, if it were him, he would definitely not agree.
Perhaps he would not let the princess come to Great Xia again after returning this time.
“I pity my young master.” he thought.
Song Jingchen didn’t know that s.h.i.+ An had already thought so far ahead. He even sympathized with his master.
As he walked in, he asked, “Has the princess been in the residence all day?”

s.h.i.+ An nodded. “I heard that the princess is leaving tomorrow. Miss Yuan and
Miss Xiao came in the morning and left two hours ago.”
Song Jingchen nodded and headed straight for Qinghui Garden. He didn’t want to be stopped by Chu Feng.
“The princess has instructed that she won’t see anyone. Please leave, Your Highness.”
Song Jingchen glanced at the dozen or so guards guarding the courtyard door and frowned. In the end, he turned around and left without saying anything.
“Brother Chu, I heard that the princess likes this little heir. Will we make the princess angry?” one of the guards asked nervously.
“Bullsh*t, how old is the princess? What do you mean by liking him? She just got closer to him because he’s good -looking. Who will remember who he is when we return to Phoenix City?” Although he said that, Chu Feng’s heart was actually beating like a drum. Thinking of his lord’s instructions, he became firm again. “Besides, the princess did instruct me not to let anyone disturb her. I’m not deliberately making things difficult for her.”
s.h.i.+ An felt even worse when he heard this. He comforted him softly, “Heir
Song, don’t listen to his nonsense. The princess definitely won’t forget you.” Song Jingchen lowered his eyes and thought of something. He turned around and walked out. He instructed, “Get someone to prepare a horse. I’m going out for a while.”
“Huh? Now?” s.h.i.+ An was stunned. When he reacted, he quickly jogged after him. “Where is Your Highness going? Do you need to tell Madam? The weather is so cold. Why don’t we prepare a carriage?”
Song Jingchen glanced at him.
s.h.i.+ An was speechless. “Alright, I’ll prepare the horses.” he thought.
Little Jiajia didn’t know that Song Jingchen had come to look for her. She fiddled in her room alone for more than half a day. When she came out after she was done, the lights were already on.
MO Yuan carried three brocade boxes into the house. “Princess, the d.u.c.h.ess got someone to send these over.’
When he found out that Little Jiajia was going back to the Xuanyuan Kingdom, Emperor Chong’an wanted to hold a banquet in the palace to send her off, but Little Jiajia rejected him. When Madam Li found out, she did not mention the farewell and only asked someone to entertain Chu Feng and the others. “For me?” Little Jiajia rubbed her swollen eyes and took the brocade box to open it one by one.
There were three brocade boxes. One was a sparkling golden dagger, the other was an inkstone, and the other was a set of pure gold jade hair ornaments.
Little Jiajia’s gaze swept across the three brocade boxes. She tilted her head and looked at MO Yuan. “Is there one missing?”
MO Yuan was puzzled.
“Look, this dagger was given to me by the old master. The inkstone was given to me by the duke, and the head was given to me by Auntie.” Little Jiajia hooked her fingers and counted carefully. In the end, she raised her fourth finger. “Where’s the other one?”
“No, there are only three.” MO Yuan thought for a moment and added, “The brocade box was handed directly to me. It hasn’t been handed over to anyone else.”
Therefore, there was no possibility of anything being hidden.
Little Jiajia asked in disbelief, “Hubby didn’t give me a gift?”
MO Yuan was speechless. “No.”
The door was suddenly pushed open. The two of them turned around at the same time and saw two little kids slowly crossing the threshold.
“Brother Hao, Sister Huan?” Little Jiajia’s eyes widened. “Why are you here so late at night?”
The two children did not speak, so Little Jiajia could only lead them in first. After sitting down, she realized that their hands were stained with dirt.
“Sister MO Yuan, go and get some water for them to wash up.”
MO Yuan should have gone out. Not long after, she brought in a basin of water. Little Jiajia personally twisted a handkerchief to help the two of them wipe their hands..
