"Sister-in-law Gu, I really have sothing urgent to discuss with Brother Gu. Do you know if Brother Gu is at ho now?" Princess Baolu affectionately stepped forward and grabbed Su Yunjin’s arm.
Her large, round eyes were filled with anxiety. Su Yunjin looked down at Princess Baolu’s hands holding her arm, feeling sowhat unaccustod to the sudden intimacy from the princess.
Thinking of how the princess before her had traveled a great distance for Wen the painter, a high-born commandery princess daring to pursue the one she loves so boldly was indeed rare. Especially in ancient tis when societal norms were so restrictive for won.
For a commandery princess to disregard gossip and co here, it was sothing that ordinary won couldn’t do.
Suddenly, Su Yunjin found herself admiring this princess in front of her.
So, Su Yunjin no longer teased Princess Baolu and replied honestly, "Princess, my husband is not here. If you’re looking for him, I’m afraid you’re out of luck."
With Gu Ya absent, Princess Baolu asked Su Yunjin again.
"Sister-in-law Gu, do you know about how long it will take for Brother Gu to return?" Lately, Princess Baolu had been closely watched by Prince Ning, who had warned her not to wander.
Though Prince Ning hadn’t ntioned it in front of the princess, she had overheard plans of Prince Ning arranging for soone to send her back to Jincheng.
It’s probably going to happen in the next few days.
Therefore, she must see Wen Muyan before leaving this place. Otherwise, all her efforts in coming here would be for nothing, wouldn’t they?
Besides, if she didn’t see him, how could she be content?
Princess Baolu anxiously rubbed her hands together, a bad habit she developed since childhood. Whenever she was nervous, her hands would instinctively twist together.
Wen Muyan had agreed to help Gu Ya paint a portrait of Tangtang, and Su Yunjin hesitated whether or not to tell her that Wen Muyan would be going to the Qin Residence in two days.
When Princess Baolu saw Su Yunjin remaining silent, she thought Su Yunjin was still upset with her over the previous incident. So, Princess Baolu proactively apologized to Su Yunjin.
"Sister Su, it was my fault that day. I shouldn’t have acted so intimately with Brother Gu. At that ti, I saw how gentle he was with you, and then thought of how Brother Wen has never been gentle with . I was so envious that I wanted to make a deliberate scene with you two." That was why Princess Baolu had pretended to be very familiar with Gu Ya, to see Su Yunjin get angry.
Su Yunjin was taken aback.
She hadn’t expected that the princess’s deliberate teasing of her and Gu Ya that day was for such reasons. However, thinking over the princess’s words, Su Yunjin felt a bit of pity for the princess in front of her.
The painter Wen Muyan, whom the princess liked, didn’t like her back, so it was no wonder the scene of her and Gu Ya together was so piercing to the princess. Anyone in her place would probably feel quite frustrated too!
Su Yunjin remained silent, but Princess Baolu began to talk about her and Wen the painter to Su Yunjin, "Sister Gu, not to hide from you, from the first mont I saw him, I liked him. Over the years, I’ve been chasing after him, but unfortunately, he always dodges and won’t let follow him. But so what? I like him, and I want to marry him. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t like , as long as he’s not married, I still have a chance, don’t I?"
Princess Baolu’s words were so carefree, which made Su Yunjin see her in a new light.
