The Commandery Princess smiled cheekily at Su Yunjin.
Her mood was evidently quite good.
"Baolu, my sister, I want to ask you about sothing," Su Yunjin said, observing Princess Baolu with a face full of joy. It seed that things with the painter Wen were going well; otherwise, Princess Baolu wouldn’t be blushing like this.
Princess Baolu picked up a plum and put it in her mouth. After chewing, she casually asked, "Sister Su, what do you want to ask about?" The Commandery Princess lazily lay on the table, picking out the largest candied fruits from the dish.
"Baolu, my sister, I want to ask you about my husband. Prince Ning sent him to do sothing days ago, and at that ti, he left in a hurry and didn’t have a chance to tell what it was. He quickly packed so things and left. You are Prince Ning’s cousin and living at the Prince Ning Residence, so I want to ask if you know what Prince Ning arranged for my husband to do?" Several days have passed, and Gu Yan has yet to return.
Su Yunjin inevitably felt a bit worried.
Princess Baolu paused in selecting the candied fruits, looking up with wide eyes at Su Yunjin, "Sister Su, did Brother Gu really not tell you where he went?"
Princess Baolu appeared quite astonished.
Su Yunjin scrutinized Princess Baolu; seeing the expression on the Commandery Princess’s face made Su Yunjin certain that Princess Baolu indeed knew what Prince Ning had arranged for Gu Yan.
"Commandery Princess, so you know what task my husband went to help Prince Ning with?" Su Yunjin said confidently, with a certain tone.
Princess Baolu was about to answer when she suddenly turned the question back on Su Yunjin, "Sister Su, did Brother Gu not actually tell you where he went?"
The Commandery Princess looked Su Yunjin up and down, seemingly pondering sothing. If Gu Yan had told Su Yunjin where he went, why would Su Yunjin be asking the Commandery Princess about it?
"Baolu, my sister, when he hurried back, he only told he needed to leave for a few days, and he didn’t say anything else before he left," said Su Yunjin.
Princess Baolu put the candied fruits back on the plate, thought for a mont, and decided not to reveal the reason for Gu Yan’s departure to Su Yunjin.
"Sister Su, since Brother Gu didn’t tell you about why he left, he must have his concerns. Although I do know about it, I think it’s best to wait for Brother Gu to return and tell you himself! Judging by ti, I believe Brother Gu should be back soon," Princess Baolu said, knowing full well yet choosing not to reveal it.
Su Yunjin grew even more puzzled.
What exactly is it? Princess Baolu is even helping Gu Yan keep it a secret? Could it be that the task Gu Yan is helping Prince Ning with is dangerous? That’s why he didn’t tell where he went? Su Yunjin looked at Princess Baolu with a tense expression, and even her tone beca anxious.
"Baolu, my sister, tell truthfully, is the task my husband went out for very dangerous? Because he feared I would worry, is that why he didn’t explain the reason for leaving?" Su Yunjin looked at Princess Baolu, not giving her a chance to evade.
Princess Baolu imdiately shook her head vigorously, "No, no, it’s not, Sister Su, don’t overthink it. Although Brother Gu’s task may be a bit troubleso, it’s not dangerous. Besides, my cousin Prince Ning has many skilled martial artists by his side; he can easily assign a few to accompany and protect Brother Gu, ensuring he will be absolutely fine."
