The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2599 - 83: Pretending Not to Know San

Li Luru pulled at the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with annoyance.

"Brother, it seems this young lady doesn’t want to talk to you. Let’s just leave," the man in red who spoke first said again.

The man in blue also added, "Exactly, in this remote place, no one recognizes you, Young Master Situ."

As soon as she heard another Situ, Li Luru felt extremely displeased. She now absolutely disliked people from the Situ Residence, and if it weren’t for that Situ Er, she wouldn’t have become mute.

Her eyes suddenly became sharp, which startled the several men.

"Hey..." The man in blue rode his horse backward, then laughed arrogantly, "No one around here pays attention to this young master because these villagers have no knowledge and don’t know the power of Situ San at all."

Listening to this self-introduction, she figured he must be Situ Er’s brother. Indeed, their whole family was no good—arrogant and unreasonable.

Secretly signaling Xiaobai, she suddenly galloped out, while Xiaobai caused chaos among the group of men.

"Damn these two pesky birds."

"Chase her, teasing this lord and trying to escape just like that? Such a thing won’t come easy."

Situ San was furious at this moment, "Take my card to find the local officials. If I, this young master, don’t subdue this girl, how will I ever blend in the Capital City?"

San, who had just found Li Luru and hadn’t had a chance to show up, sneered upon hearing this.

The family relied on the Empress to act unscrupulously, and even a young master without any official position wanted to suppress local officials—what a shameless act.

"Go, send him a letter, let him know that his good brother is already dead."

"Then send another letter to report the situation here to the prince, so that our lord can be better prepared when entering the Capital."

Having followed the lord for so long, they naturally had the enemies of the lord figured out. With the lord returning to the Capital from Yun’an, it was impossible for this to go unnoticed. Those who liked to stir up trouble would surely link Situ Er’s death with their master.

Another person among them said, "I think it’s better to let him find the local officials first, and after he’s done, we report it to confirm that he’s an unappointed person interfering in state affairs—isn’t that more beneficial? As for the matter with his brother, we’ll just pretend we don’t know."

"Alright, you go and gather evidence. I’ll take people to chase Miss Li." It took a lot of effort to find her; losing her would be a real disaster.

"Done!"

Soon, several people hiding in the shadows went their separate ways.

Situ San’s people indeed went to the government office.

Li Luru had already reached outside the city by then, almost leaving Yun’an.

"Clip-clop..."

Li Luru hadn’t turned back yet, thinking it couldn’t be so bad, wondering if those people had chased her already.

"Miss Li..."

"Miss Li..."

San? Li Luru shivered.

Then she reminded herself, don’t turn back, don’t turn back. Right now, she’s a man, not some Li Luru, and she mustn’t let him recognize her, or everything would be exposed to that person.

She was about to ride away but was blocked by San’s horse in front of her.

"Miss Li, the prince asked me to deliver a letter to you."

Seeing that Li Luru didn’t take the letter, he continued, "The prince temporarily returned to the Capital City, saying that after handling the matters there, he will come to find you."

When she still didn’t speak, San opened his eyes wide in disbelief and said, "Miss Li, you can’t be saying you’re not the person I’m looking for, right?"

Li Luru finally nodded.

San was both crying and laughing, "Miss Li, can you stop playing around? I’ve been following you since this morning."

"I even saw Xiaobai."
