After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 190 Parting on Unhappily

Go after them! What are you waiting for?!

Lin Liuyi was so anxious that he wanted to catch up with them himself.

Fortunately, Liu Mingyue quickly regained her senses and, together with the guards and the nanny, chased after the paper crane.

Lin Liu sighed, hoping that Xiao Liu could find her husband.

Liu Mingyue and her group followed the paper crane and ran wildly, passing through mountains and forests, crossing rivers, and finally arriving at a small mountain village.

“Princess, this is Chenjia Village, we’ve been here before!” the nanny reminded her.

Liu Mingyue also remembered that she had been here before, as this was the closest village to where her husband was injured.

However, her guards searched the village and found no trace of her husband. They didn't know why the paper crane had brought them here.

"Keep up!"

The group followed the paper crane to a house on the edge of the village, where the paper crane spontaneously combusted.

"The princess?"

"Granny, go knock on the door!" She wanted to see what was going on.

The old woman went up and knocked on the door. After a while, a little girl opened the door.

The little girl was startled to see that Liu Mingyue and the others were dressed in extraordinary clothes.

Liu Mingyue quickly said, "Don't be afraid, young lady. We're just looking for someone. May I ask if you saved someone a few days ago?"

Upon hearing this, the girl panicked and immediately tried to close the door.

Liu Mingyue became suspicious and decided to go into the courtyard to check.

Just then, a voice came from inside the courtyard, "Little Fish, who's knocking?"

Liu Mingyue stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard gate, and Xiaoyu was pushed aside because she couldn't block her.

"Watch out!" A man immediately caught the little fish that was about to fall to the ground.

"Xiaoyu, are you alright! Miss, you..." The man helped Xiaoyu up and looked up, wanting to question Liu Mingyue, but he was speechless when he saw her face.

"Miss Xiaoyu, I'm so sorry, I was just in a hurry!" Liu Mingyue glanced at the man and then bowed to Xiaoyu to apologize.

This man's face... alas, it's not her husband!

"It's okay, I'm fine!" Little Fish waved her hands repeatedly.

"Now, can you answer the question I just asked? May I ask, young lady, did you save someone a few days ago?"

"I, I," Xiaoyu bit her lip, glancing furtively at the man, "I've only ever saved Brother Jiang."

"Brother Jiang?" Liu Mingyue looked at the man questioningly.

"It is I. I was injured and fainted, and I am deeply grateful to Miss Little Fish for pulling me out of the river."

"Brother Jiang, it's alright, Xiaoyu saved you voluntarily." Xiaoyu glanced at the man shyly.

After hearing this, Liu Mingyue carefully examined the man's appearance.

Then he changed the subject, "Even if Xiaoyu is your savior, it's not appropriate for the two of you, a man and a woman, to be alone in a room together!"

"No, no, my father went hunting in the mountains," Xiaoyu quickly explained.

“What does this have to do with you, young lady! You’ve barged into someone else’s house without permission and are asking so many questions. Don’t you think that’s going too far?” the man said.

Xiao Yu quickly tugged at his sleeve, "Brother Jiang, this is a distinguished guest!"

They're not to be trifled with! With nannies and guards around, Xiaoyu understood the situation perfectly well.

"So what if you're a VIP! Even a VIP can't just barge into someone's home and start criticizing them for no reason!" the man continued, ignoring Xiaoyu's attempts to pull him away.

Liu Mingyue glanced at the two men tugging at her sleeves. "I'm so sorry to have bothered you both. It's all my fault! Granny, bring me 100 taels of silver!"

Liu Mingyue took the silver note and handed it to Xiaoyu, saying, "Miss, we apologize for disturbing you. This is Mingyue's way of making amends."

The little fish dared not accept it and could only shake her head, so the man reached out and took the silver note.

Upon seeing this, Liu Mingyue immediately left with the nanny and guards.

After Liu Mingyue walked out of the courtyard, the old nanny couldn't help but ask, "Princess, are you leaving like this? We haven't found a consort yet!"

Liu Mingyue shook her head. "Granny, let's go. There's no rush regarding my husband."

Not in a hurry? How can you say they're not in a hurry? They've been searching for a whole month!

Is the princess's paper crane unreliable?

Unaware of the old woman's inner turmoil, Liu Mingyue waited for the person she was looking for after they set up camp that night.

"Mingyue!" The man who had been teasing her in Xiaoyu's courtyard was now excitedly calling out her name.

Seeing that Liu Mingyue remained unmoved, Jiang Heng quickly tore off his mask. "Mingyue, it's me!"

Sure enough, Liu Mingyue knew that the immortal's paper crane was real. When she saw him, her intuition told her that this was her husband, but he pretended not to know her and was protecting the little fish girl.

"Mingyue, are you angry with me? I only said that because I wanted you to leave quickly and I was afraid of exposing our identities." Jiang Heng apologized to her cautiously.

"Jiang Heng, since you're alive, why don't you go back? You haven't even sent a message. Do you know how worried Mother and I are?"

“Mingyue, I have my reasons. After I was injured, Xiaoyu saved me. I originally wanted to ask her to send a message to the Earl’s Mansion, but I found out that her hunter father seemed to have dealings with the Tartars, so I took the opportunity to stay at her house.”

"Don't you think about how worried I was about you? You were missing for two months, Dad looked for you for a month, and I looked for you for a month. And what did you do? You were hiding in someone else's house." Liu Mingyue was really angry.

"Mingyue, are you jealous? Let me tell you, I really have no feelings for that little fish. I just want to find out what the Tartars and that hunter are doing?" Jiang Heng quickly pulled Liu Mingyue's hand to explain.

"Then have you found it?"

Not yet.

"So, you're going to stay in this little fish's house?" Liu Mingyue angrily pulled her hand back.

“Mingyue, you know this is a very important matter, and I must continue to hide,” Jiang Heng explained patiently.

“There are many ways to investigate things, why do you have to stay there!” Liu Mingyue disagreed with the other party’s statement.

In her opinion, Jiang Heng could have easily sent someone to monitor and track the other party, so why did she have to go into the lion's den herself?

Jiang Heng disagreed. He had already been hiding there for two months, and the hunter trusted him now. How could he give up halfway?

"I think you've fallen for that little fish! Otherwise, why would you be so reluctant to go home!"

"Mingyue, how could you say that to me? You're the only one in my heart!"

"Then come home with me!"

"Mingyue, I really can't go back for the time being!"

Neither of them could convince the other, so their first meeting after the disappearance ended unhappily.

"Princess, shall we look again?" The nanny was unaware that the princess and the prince consort had already met and even had a quarrel.

"Let's not look for Granny anymore. Some people don't want to come back on their own. Even if we find them, what good will it do?"
