The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

Shen Yu never knew that the 'Cangyue Lake' under the cover of night could be so lively.

The lights are turned on, just like stars falling into the world. Above the lake, all kinds of lanterns are swaying and shining. Some are simple and elegant, some are gorgeous and dazzling, like a colorful painting. Looking along the lake, you can't see the end at a glance.

There is a constant stream of pedestrians walking in the streets and alleys, some in twos and threes, some in groups, with laughter and chattering one after another, creating a joyful scene of peace and prosperity.

The two walked side by side, and Shen Yu's eyes would occasionally secretly glance at their clasped hands. This was the first time for her to go shopping holding hands. It was novel and full of sweetness. Her palms were warm and strong, as if conveying a sense of stability and strength.

People on the street looked at this handsome man and beautiful woman, occasionally casting curious glances, but Lu Yingxing had already changed from holding hands to hugging his wife, and held her in his arms, under the pretext of fearing they would get separated.

Shen Yu leaned against his chest and looked up curiously, asking, "These lanterns all have names on them. Are they the people's prayers?"

As the night deepened, the light of the lanterns became softer, leaving only a faint silhouette on his handsome face. He lowered his head, looked at the beautiful face of the woman in his arms, leaned closer and said, "They are names, but they are all names of shops."

"Ah? Are you saying these are all sponsored by major businesses?"

"The word 'sponsorship'... is quite appropriate. On the 15th of every month, there is a blessing lantern festival at 'Cangyue Lake'. In the beginning, it was to commemorate the legendary water god at the bottom of the lake. But ever since the emperor drained the lake water to put an end to rumors of treasure at the bottom of the lake, the blessing lantern festival has been in name only. But how can a tradition that has been accustomed to for so many years be easily interrupted? So every month, different businesses sponsor it for the people to enjoy." Lu Yingxing explained.

"Oh, that's great, we can have fun together with the people!"

"Madam, don't you want to participate? I thought you would be interested. After all, the Moon Viewing Tower will be reopened next month..."

"Ah? That's why you brought me here? I'm not interested. If you really have so much money, why don't we hold it in Zhuocheng? Let the people of Zhuocheng have fun too?"

Lu Yingxing was stunned, as he had never expected this answer. But when he saw her saying it as a matter of course, he suddenly smiled. He usually saw his wife keeping a distance from everything in Luocheng, and he thought that she didn't think much of Zhuocheng. It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed, but that place was after all his hometown, not his wife's. How could she like it, a place she had never set foot in?

But now that I think about it, maybe the lady just wanted to be lazy? This little fox!

He suddenly pulled her to the corner of the street, wrapped her up in his arms, rested his chin on top of her head, and laughed softly, with true joy from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Yu, “???” Is he sick again?

After all, this person is always happy and angry, which is difficult to understand, but she is very tolerant of him. After all, he was maliciously kept in captivity by the dog emperor since he was a child, so it is not difficult to understand that he is a little bit mentally ill. She can only give her infinite love to heal him! Alas!

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the other side of the alley, a crash, and then an arrogant male voice rang out, "Run, aren't you very good at running?"

"Ah, stop hitting me! Ah... my hands... I really tried, but I can't get up to the second floor..."

"If you can't get up, can't you find a way? It seems that you really don't want to work for your master anymore. Hit me!"

Then, there was another round of punching and kicking sounds.

"Help... Stop hitting me... I..."

This is not a residential area, and there are not many people in alleys like this at night. The noisy sound outside can easily drown out the increasingly weak calls.

Shen Yu frowned. She didn't want to care at first. She wasn't a saint and had no obligation to save every stranger she met. But from the look on her face, it was obvious that he was risking his life...

She could ignore a group fight, but she couldn't watch someone die in front of her.

Lu Yingxing could now roughly guess his wife's thoughts from her small movements. He gently waved his hand back, and several figures rushed forward immediately. A few more fist knocking sounds were heard, and the other side became quiet. Only the arrogant voice just now remained, still asking angrily, "Who are you? Are you going to kill someone in broad daylight?"

Shen Yu was so angry that she laughed, listening to the posture of the villain complaining first, but she did not raise her leg. Instead, she looked at Lu Yingxing first and asked for his opinion. What if it was a scam in ancient times?

Seeing that he was looking down at her and smiling, she took her hand and walked inside.

There were four people in front who had been subdued by the secret guards, but they seemed to have fainted. Lying flat on the ground was a middle-aged man covered in blood, breathing heavily and desperately. He should be the one who had called out just now.

On the contrary, the man who was being held down by the secret guards and kneeling on the ground was stunned when he saw the two of them, but he quickly recovered and asked unceremoniously, "Who are you and why are you hitting my people?"

Shen Yu frowned and said, "Tsk! You think you are right to rob people in broad daylight?"

The man was stunned, and immediately showed an exaggerated expression of grievance: "I'm afraid these two have misunderstood. We are the victims. This person is our runaway slave. He stole the property of his master and fled. After many twists and turns, we finally found him and are now interrogating him!"

"Oh~ So that's how it is?"

Shen Yu nodded and smiled, but her eyes were looking at the person lying on the ground. Seeing that he was looking at her with horror, she knew of course that this was not a robbery, she just wanted to see how they would make it up.

The kneeling man said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "My dears, this is our family matter. Could you please show some mercy and pretend you didn't see it?"

"You know us."

Lu Yingxing suddenly spoke, not a question, but an affirmative sentence. He glanced at the man on the ground again and said coldly, "If you don't want to die, then tell me. Who are you acting for today?"

The kneeling man immediately roared angrily: "My lord! What do you mean? I already said that this is our slave. I had no intention of clashing with you. You came here to meddle in our affairs. How come we have to take the initiative to act now?"

"What do you say?" Lu Yingxing hadn't heard his wife's inner voice, and he didn't know what she was thinking about, so he spoke.

"Do they want you to go to the second floor of 'Yuyifang' or the second floor of 'Qinzifang'?" Shen Yu did not answer, but stared at the man on the ground. When she saw his eyes widen instantly, she knew that she had guessed correctly.

As soon as they met, she was sure that these people knew her. They all looked at her first, not Lu Yingxing... The kneeling man's eyes were full of fear when he saw her, while the lying man was in disbelief.

The original words of the man who was just beaten were: I really tried, but there was no way I could get up to the second floor.

Shen Yu always believed in his intuition. Since it was related to him, it must be the "Yuyifang" or the "Qinzifang", and the second floors of both of them were indeed difficult to access. If it was the second floor of the "Wangyue Building", there was no question of whether it was easy to access or not. After all, it was very easy to sneak in during the renovation period.

"Prefer not to say?"
