Chapter 2425 - 4: Hua’en Returns to the Capital
"Second brother, you’re back. Hua’en came over." Ye Haoyang didn’t enter through the front door but went straight to the back door, bumping into Ye Rongqing.
"Hmm!"
He brushed past Ye Rongqing and headed straight to the study.
"Hey, second brother, you’re just going to leave like that?" Ye Rongqing caught up, "Hua’en came specifically to see you, aren’t you going to meet her?"
"Just say I went to the palace."
"Ah, why?" Ye Rongqing was a bit puzzled.
But he did as told.
On Mu Huarong’s side, she was accompanied by Ming Lan. Yang Chuxia hadn’t been in Capital City for the past few years, so typically no women visited Prince An’s Mansion. Occasionally, when Yang Xiayun visited, it was Ming Lan who accompanied her.
"Hua’en, my second brother’s attendant just came back and said he went to the palace; he probably won’t return until the evening."
"Is that so?" Mu Huarong was clearly disappointed, but she quickly said, "Alright, I’ll head back then. Could you please tell Brother Yangyang later?"
"Sure!"
After seeing Mu Huarong off, Ye Rongqing went to the study, "Second brother, Hua’en has left."
"Got it."
"Second brother, why didn’t you meet her?" Ye Rongqing was a bit curious, "Weren’t you always longing for her while in Funan?"
Ye Haoyang frowned, he didn’t know why either, just instinctively didn’t want to see her.
Then there was the matter on the street, being a doctor yet leaving just like that made him uncomfortable.
If it were an ordinary person, they might have left to avoid trouble, but it was hard to understand a doctor being so indifferent to life.
"You’re just full of nonsense!" He gave his brother a sidelong glance and walked out of the study.
"Why didn’t you see Hua’en?" Ye Haoxuan asked when he encountered him.
"I just didn’t feel like seeing her."
He had no secrets from his twin brother and recounted the scene he saw on the street.
"That’s understandable," Ye Haoxuan patted his shoulder, saying, "After Huarong was disfigured, Hua’en had already told Uncle Mu and Aunt Dongyang that she would never touch medicine or poison again."
"Is that so?"
He was a bit confused, yet still felt uncomfortable inside.
~~~
At this moment, the real Mu Hua’en was secretly returning to Capital City with her maid in a carriage.
"Miss, we’re leaving just like this, without telling the master and madam? They will worry about us."
"I left a letter."
Her maid was on the verge of tears. Yes, she left a letter, but she didn’t say where she was going.
"I don’t want anyone to know I’m back in Capital City."
Mu Hua’en lifted her head. Ever since the two families began preparing for the official engagement, she felt she couldn’t stay in Funan any longer; she wanted to return to Capital City.
Even though returning wouldn’t change anything, she still wanted to come back.
"Miss, why don’t you tell Young Master Ye Er that you are actually Hua’en?" The maid clenched her fists and said, "It was obviously the eldest miss who poured poison on your face, so why do you have to concede in the end? Isn’t this too unfair? Just because she also likes Young Master Ye Er? Besides, Young Master Ye Er was originally your fiancé. How can a sister snatch her younger sister’s fiancé? Can you swallow this?"
Mu Hua’en looked out the window, and after a long while, she said, "With this face, even beggars despise me. What’s the use of saying it? She was right about one thing; even if I spoke out, my face wouldn’t heal, and I can no longer be happy. After all, she’s a blood sister. Let her be happy." She was content just to glance from afar.
Mu Hua’en was a woman of reserved emotions. Since childhood, she knew she had a fiancé, and that fiancé was very good to her. It’s just that she hadn’t seen him much as of late, but those childhood memories lingered in her heart indefinitely.
