What to do if you receive the wrong package?

Although the shadow guards on the roof beams were having a headache, Su Huaiqi and Zhou Yuran below were chatting happily.

Su Huaiqi, resting his chin on his hand, continued, "What about Hua Bao? She's all alone in the girls' dormitory now. How is she?"

"Hua Bao should be fine, after all, she was the one who successfully reported it. It's just that the two of us have already come out, and she's the only one left still pitifully studying."

"Hehe, why do I hear a hint of schadenfreude in your voice?" Su Huaiqi raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Yuran quickly waved her hands and denied it three times: "No, I didn't. Look at me now, it's not as good as when I was in the girls' college. At least my range of activities was larger, and I had you all with me."

“That’s true. Back then, the three of us were determined to leave the girls’ college and rushed into the building with all our might. But who would have thought that the two of us would actually leave the girls’ college, just in an unpredictable way.” Su Huaiqi recalled their initial wish. Although the methods were different, they had both achieved their goals.

“Yes. But I wasn’t as lucky as you. After leaving the girls’ college, I went into another ‘cage’.” Zhou Yuran sighed silently.

"Why don't you come with me? Ayan and Mumu must miss you terribly. If they knew you were locked up here, they would definitely make a scene to rescue you." Su Huaiqi patted Zhou Yuran's shoulder, his eyes darting around, and an idea suddenly popped into his head.

“I can’t leave yet. I don’t know the King of Chu at all. Since he allowed me to stay in his residence, there must be something wrong with it. I need to figure it out before I leave. Besides, didn’t you come here to find someone? I can also subtly inquire for you.” Zhou Yuran shook her head, rejecting Su Huaiqi’s suggestion.

"Alright, you must be careful. Ask about Xuan Yi if you can, but protecting yourself is the most important thing." Su Huaiqi knew Zhou Yuran's personality well, so he didn't say anything more.

"Don't worry, I value my life. Besides, this Xuan Yi is related to our Mu Mu, so I definitely have to meet him." Zhou Yuran patted Su Huaiqi's shoulder. "Hurry up and leave. With your current skills, you should avoid people and not act impulsively."

Su Huaiqi smiled and hugged Zhou Yuran. Under the cover of night, he looked back several times before reluctantly leaving Zhou Yuran's courtyard.

Su Huaiqi knew her own abilities well. Since changing bodies, she couldn't even win a one-on-one fight, let alone take on three. Yu Zechuan could easily leave the Chu Prince's mansion without her burden, so she didn't want to be like the Calabash Brothers, risking her life to save her grandfather.

After thinking it through, Su Huaiqi decided not to go any further. He secretly found a secluded spot, and after confirming it was safe, he decisively climbed over the wall and ran away.

On the other side, Yu Zechuan, who had lost Su Huaiqi, was somewhat annoyed. It was Su Huaiqi who insisted on coming along, so her getting lost was entirely her own fault. However, Yu Zechuan was worried. With Su Huaiqi's rudimentary martial arts skills, what if she encountered the Prince's guards or soldiers…

Yu Zechuan didn't want to think about it anymore, so he flew directly to the east side of the Prince's Mansion and appeared skillfully in a courtyard. Before he could even knock on the door, he heard a clear male voice from inside: "I was wondering why I heard magpies chirping as soon as I stepped out today. It turns out it's Young Master Yu who has graced us with his presence. I apologize for not welcoming you sooner."

Yu Zechuan seemed not to hear him, pushed open the door and entered, saying, "My man has gone missing in your residence. If you help me find him, I will forgive you."

"Oh? Your people? Who are they? It wouldn't happen to be the beautiful bride you recently married in Zhongjing, would it?" The person inside gently fanned himself, seemingly curious.

Yu Zechuan glanced at the person behind the table, seemed to have thought of something, and sat down directly opposite the man, pouring himself a cup of tea without any hesitation.

"Where is she?"

"I just received word that we went to the side courtyard in the northwest corner. We'll find out soon enough." As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure appeared before the two of them.

"Your Highness, that young lady is currently having a pleasant conversation with Miss Fang in the corner courtyard."

"Oh? Miss Fang?" Yu Zechuan, who was drinking tea, was taken aback upon hearing this, then raised an eyebrow and stared at the King of Chu with equal curiosity. "When did you learn to keep a mistress in a golden house?"

The King of Chu smiled, but instead of answering the question, he asked, "Do you know who the beautiful bride you proposed to is?"

"I know. Miss Qiqi told me everything that happened."

"Seventh Sister?" The King of Chu was puzzled by the name.

"She said that Su Yuanming is now at Wanfeng Chaohuang Tower. And she dislikes the name Su Yuwei. From now on, she will only be Su Huaiqi, and be her true self." Yu Zechuan recalled the confident light in Su Huaiqi's eyes when she explained, which was hard to look away from.

"Be your true self? Haha... Does the Su family allow it? Does the royal family allow it?" The King of Chu found it somewhat amusing. "However, you remember what that young lady said very clearly. What? Are you tempted?"

“I naturally remember what my wife says, unlike some people who are all alone and naturally wouldn’t understand.”

"..." You think you're so great just because you have a wife.

As the two were talking, a dark figure appeared at the door. The figure knocked on the door and whispered, "Your Highness, there has been a change in the situation at the Corner Courtyard."

"Speak," the King of Chu gestured, indicating for the shadow guard to continue.

"The girl tried to persuade Miss Fang to leave with her, but Miss Fang refused. Afterwards, the girl climbed over the wall and left the palace, heading east."

"Did you hear that? The person has already left. Do you still want to stay and continue drinking tea?" King Chu offered Yu Zechuan a fresh cup of tea.

"Thank you for your hospitality, but I'll pass on the tea. There's something I wanted to ask you. Xuan Yi, what are you planning to do?"

"You also have a connection with Xuan Yi?" The King of Chu was somewhat puzzled, not expecting that Yu Zechuan and Xuan Yi were also related.

"We became friends after a fight. As things stand, it's possible that Xuan Yi and I could become... sisters-in-law." Yu Zechuan thought for a moment; it was really hard to say what his relationship with Xuan Yi would be like.

"Hahahaha, Xuan Yi is fine. I just need him to help me get into a trap. Once everyone in the trap is there, I'll release him."

"Then be careful," Yu Zechuan kindly reminded him. "Xuan Yi is not as simple as you think."

After saying that, he drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, waved his hand, and left the Chu King's mansion with practiced ease.

When they arrived at their own courtyard, before they even entered the gate, they saw Su Huaiqi pacing back and forth, looking around.

When Su Huaiqi saw Yu Zechuan, she breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to greet him, "Thank goodness, you're finally back."

"Are you worried about me?" Yu Zechuan asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yes, although you are highly skilled in martial arts, you are all alone. What if the people from the Chu Prince’s Mansion don’t follow martial ethics and bully the weak with numbers? But thankfully you came back safely. It was my fault today, which caused this small accident. I will definitely be more careful next time. You’ve worked hard today too, so get some rest. I’m going to go to sleep now.” Su Huaiqi finished speaking and yawned.

Yu Zechuan didn't expect Su Huaiqi to admit her mistake so readily, and he was even more surprised that she would apologize so directly.

The two stepped into the hall together, and Yu Zechuan was surprised to find that not only Su Huaiqi, but everyone else was still awake. He wondered: Were they all waiting for him?

As soon as Su Huaiqi entered the house, he greeted everyone: "You're back, you're back! Ayu has arrived safely, everyone can go back and rest now."

Upon hearing this, the people in the hall scattered like birds and beasts, exchanging greetings before parting ways.

As Jiang Si was leaving last, he looked at Yu Zechuan's slightly surprised expression and asked with amusement, "How does it feel to be cared for by so many people?"

"not bad."

Yu Zechuan smiled as he looked at the empty hall, but his heart felt full of something.

--------------

The next day, at breakfast.

Jiang Si looked at the three girls, who seemed unsteady on their feet, weak all over, and barely able to keep their eyes open, and was somewhat puzzled. If it were just Shen Mujin, it would be understandable, as she might not have slept well because she was worried about Xuan Yi, but for all three of them to be like this at the same time was rather puzzling.

"What...what's wrong with you all?"

"We got so excited chatting last night that I barely slept," Gu Yan replied, slumped over the table without looking up.

Heaven knows how excited they were last night when they learned that Yueya had appeared at the Chu Prince's residence. The three of them chattered on and on all night, and just as they were about to close their eyes and go to sleep, they realized it was already dawn...

Yu Zechuan looked at the three girls with amusement, recalling the heartwarming scene from the previous night, and took this opportunity to confess his relationship with the King of Chu.

"Huh? You actually know the King of Chu, and you even have a good relationship with him?" Su Huaiqi looked at Yu Zechuan with some surprise.

No wonder Wutong Manor has businesses throughout the entire Great Qi Dynasty; it turns out they really have powerful backers, even members of the royal family.

Yu Zechuan nodded. "The King of Chu's mother and my mother were once close friends, and we have known each other since we were young. However, the King of Chu's status was special, and after his mother passed away, we had less and less contact."

“In that case,” Gu Yan looked at Yu Zechuan with some anticipation, “Young Master, if you know the King of Chu, could you discuss with him about releasing Xuan Yi? I promise that once Xuan Yi returns, I will have Mu Mu properly educate him so that he will never steal that map again.”

“Yes, yes, I discovered yesterday that one of our sisters is still imprisoned in the Chu Prince’s residence. Could we release her as well? I promise I won’t cause any trouble for the Chu Prince,” Su Huaiqi quickly added.

Hearing this, Shen Mujin nodded solemnly and looked at Yu Zechuan with anticipation.

Yu Zechuan smiled slightly, understanding everyone's feelings, and quickly explained the King of Chu's thoughts and attitude.

"Miss Mumu, please don't worry. Xuan Yi is indeed in His Highness's hands, but please rest assured that he has not been harmed in the slightest. His Highness has other plans for capturing Xuan Yi. Wait a few more days, and once the fish takes the bait, His Highness will release Xuan Yi immediately. As for the young lady that Miss Qiqi mentioned, she is probably unable to leave the Prince's residence for the time being, but you can rest assured that the Prince's residence is very safe, and you don't need to worry about her food, clothing, or daily necessities. She will not be mistreated."

Hearing this, Shen Mujin and the others felt a little more at ease, but seeing is believing.

After breakfast, Su Huaiqi was given a critical mission and followed Yu Zechuan closely.

"Is Miss Qi Qi here to learn swordsmanship today as well?"

Su Huaiqi tugged at the hem of his clothes somewhat awkwardly, "I'll hold off on learning swordsmanship for now... There's something I want to discuss with you."

"Please speak, Miss Qiqi."

Su Huaiqi asked tentatively, "Ayu, could you discuss this with His Highness the Prince of Chu? The three of us would like to visit Xuanyi and our sisters at the Prince's residence. I wonder if His Highness the Prince of Chu could make an exception for us."

Yu Zechuan pondered for a moment, not daring to agree casually, and could only say that he would try his best to ask.
