At this time, Jiang Bu had just finished packing and was about to go out. He looked up and saw this scene. Not far away, two people were arguing fiercely. Their voices were so loud that many people stopped to watch. Jiang Bu frowned and walked forward to find out what was going on.

"What happened?" Jiang Bu walked closer and asked.

The servant next to him saw his master coming and bowed to him, then reported everything that had just happened to Jiang Bu. It turned out that the maid was sent by her master to deliver the invitation, but she had an argument with others because of some verbal conflict.

After Jiang Bu heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy. He was already in a bad mood today, and this made things worse. He had been planning to go to the Grand Princess's residence to find Ah Xue, but he had been worried about something, and now he encountered such a bad thing, which made him even more upset.

Jiang Bu turned around and glared at the maid fiercely, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. However, he still suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Okay, take the invitation. Remember to send it to Li'er later. As for whether she goes or not, it is her own choice and freedom." The first part of this sentence was directed to the servant, and the second part was said to the maid.

The maid was frightened and silent when she felt Jiang Bu's cold gaze and stern tone. She dared not say anything more. She handed the post to the servant obediently, then left in a hurry with her head down, as if she was afraid of angering the bad-tempered young master again.

After a short pause, Jiang Bu hurriedly boarded the carriage and rushed towards where Axue was. However, when he arrived at the destination, he was timid and did not dare to step into the gate of the mansion. So, he could only wait outside the door silently, looking forward to Axue's appearance.

Time passed by minute by minute, as if it was infinitely stretched, long and unbearable. Jiang Bu became more and more anxious, but even so, he still stood firmly in place, refusing to leave. Finally, after waiting for a long time, near noon, a sound of horse hooves came from afar. Jiang Bu looked closely and saw a horse galloping towards him. The person on the horse was Ah Xue, whom he had been thinking about day and night!

Seeing this, Jiang Bu got off the carriage without hesitation. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated emotions, and then took a big step and walked straight towards Murong Xue. When he got closer, he grabbed Murong Xue's slender and tender hand, dragged her towards his carriage without saying anything, and whispered, "Follow me!"

At this moment, the two guards standing tall and solemn in front of the mansion watched their majestic general being dragged away by a man. They were shocked and subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop and surround the rude man.

However, at this critical moment, Murong Xue sighed slightly and then waved her hand gently to the guards beside her. The action was gentle and firm, as if carrying an invisible force, which instantly stopped the guards who were about to take action.

Murong Xue's eyes were fixed on the man in front of her. He was wearing a sky-blue robe that fluttered in the wind. The color was like the azure sky in spring, fresh and refined, and particularly eye-catching in the crowd. But when her eyes slowly moved up to his face, she was shocked - the face that should have been handsome now revealed a bit of decadence, with frowned eyebrows and confused eyes, as if he was carrying a heavy heart.

Murong Xue stared at the familiar man in front of her, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. In fact, wasn't she the same?

These days, she frequently went to the palace to see the emperor, just to ask him to agree to that crucial matter. But every time she went there with hope, she could only return disappointed. The emperor always gave her all kinds of seemingly reasonable but perfunctory reasons, so that things never made any progress. Thinking of this, Murong Xue's beautiful eyes could not help but flash a trace of sadness.

Murong Xue stepped lightly onto the carriage, her skirt fluttering in the wind. After she sat down, Jiang Bu calmly sat opposite her. Then, Jiang Bu shouted to the front: "Yuan Bao, drive off." His voice was deep and powerful.

As Yuanbao waved the whip, the carriage started slowly, and the wheels rolled away from the Grand Princess's residence. Along the way, the atmosphere in the carriage was particularly solemn. The two were silent, as if they were immersed in their own thoughts. Only the rhythmic sound of horse hooves could be heard, breaking the silence. Time passed by minute by minute, and after an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped slowly.

Jiang Bu frowned slightly, as if he had a lot to say, but he finally decided to get off the carriage. He jumped off the carriage swiftly and stood aside steadily.

Yuanbao sat in the driver's seat and secretly glanced at his young master. He saw that Jiang Bu had a solemn expression, and his usual carefree and confident look was completely gone, replaced by a face full of fatigue and worry. Yuanbao couldn't help but feel sad. He had followed the young master since he was a child. In all these years, he had never seen the young master so depressed.

At this moment, Jiang Bu called softly, "Axue."

Murong Xue moved upon hearing the voice, gently lifted the curtain, and then got off the carriage carefully. When she stood firm and looked around, she was stunned - the place in front of her was Liweilou. What was even more coincidental was that the place where they first met happened to be.

At this moment, Liweilou was bustling with people coming and going, and the noise was endless. Jiang Bu stared at Murong Xue quietly, his lips moved, but it seemed as if something was choking his throat, and he was unable to speak.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Bu took a deep breath and said, "Go in first!" After that, he reached out and gently pulled Murong Xue's slender wrist. However, unlike in the past, this time Jiang Bu did not walk in front as usual, but chose to walk side by side with Murong Xue.
