Qin Yaru frowned slightly, and a servant beside the Marquis immediately stepped forward, speaking respectfully, "It is Consort Qin. Just now, a bird took away a snack that our Marquis likes, which displeased him, so he shot it with an arrow. I didn't expect it to disturb Consort Qin!"
This person only looked at Qin Yaru and didn't even glance at Bai Yunsheng.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yaru turned her head and indeed saw a bird resting in the grass. She exchanged a glance with Bai Yunsheng, who gently kicked the injured bird that was flapping its wings and chirping incessantly into his palm.
The bird was gray and not particularly attractive, small in size, seemingly just learned to fly. However, its black eyes were bright and watery, making it look quite pitiful.
Bai Yunsheng reached out to stroke the bird's head and casually placed it in the Medicine Basket behind him. He walked over to Qin Yaru's side, deliberately extending his hand to support her arm and said with a smile, "It's getting late, and the path is difficult. Let's hurry down the mountain."
Seeing this, the servant's face showed a hint of anger. Not daring to look back at his master's expression, he quickly stepped forward and said, "I ask Consort Qin to hand over our Marquis's prey to me."
Qin Yaru couldn't help but laugh, "Please have your master come take it himself; I cannot act on behalf of Bai Langjun."
This servant was not like the arrogant Marquis; he did not dare to compete with Bai Yunsheng and turned to look at his master.
Pang Yuanying, however, remained silent and did not even shift his gaze. He stood against the wind in his flowing green attire, truly resembling a handsome tree standing tall.
Qin Yaru had no mood to admire the handsome man. After finishing her words, she turned back and planned to walk down the mountain with Bai Yunsheng, bypassing this group of people.
In fact, she felt somewhat uneasy; this Marquis was not someone easy to deal with. Their encounter seemed intentional, and she feared he would linger for a while.
Feeling a bit frustrated in her heart, Qin Yaru couldn't help but sigh—people really do have it tough no matter where they are.
However, Pang Yuanying did not seem annoyed this time nor did he have any intention of lingering. He simply smiled as he watched Qin Yaru leave and even signaled for his attendants to clear a path as Consort Qin walked by.
Qin Yaru let out a quiet sigh, and then she heard Pang Yuanying's clear voice behind her: "Consort Qin, I hear Brother Chen is returning to Wudang. I have long had a spiritual connection with him, and when he comes back, I will certainly pay him a visit."
Qin Yaru was taken aback, frowning. Although her footsteps did not stop, a sense of unease rose within her. Given the current status of Pang Yuanying and Chen Wenyue, even if Chen Wenyue became the son-in-law of the Xiangyang Wang, Pang Yuanying might not even acknowledge him.
Those royal family sons-in-law could only fool ordinary commoners. For a family like the Pang Family, whether it was a County Horse or a Duke Consort, unless one had an extraordinary background, they would still not be regarded highly.
At this moment, Pang Yuanying was indeed in a good mood. He was not overly angered by Qin Yaru's indifference; he simply watched her departing figure quietly and smiled faintly: "Well then, enjoy your freedom for a few more days."
This Marquis understood his own nature quite well. The beauties he coveted were always those he intended to possess at all costs, but his interest usually lasted only for a short while. Once the beauty had been enjoyed, he would discard her like an old shoe, no longer showing the previous enthusiasm. There were countless women who had been driven to despair by him and then cast aside.
In his heart, Consort Qin was merely another woman who had suddenly caught his eye and piqued his interest. Moreover, apart from her appearance, she could not compare to the noble ladies in the capital who were infatuated with him. Pang Yuanying secretly pondered whether his passion for Consort Qin could last a year and a half; he just hoped that time would not be too short, allowing him to avoid boredom before returning to the capital.
"…Considering you are somewhat interesting, I will indulge you for a few more days," Pang Yuanying said as he adjusted his sleeves and smiled. His beauty was striking, and this smile made him even more radiant.
The servant beside him quickly lowered his head, feeling a bit more admiration for Consort Qin. With beauty like that of the Marquis, any ordinary wife would be captivated at first sight, leaving no rationality to resist temptation.
What he did not know was that if Qin Yaru truly saw this man's smiling face, she would likely not only refuse to fall at his feet but would also feel her hair stand on end.
Pang Yuanying was not here for the beauty; he was merely bored and had come up the mountain to hunt. Of course, encountering a beauty did lift his spirits somewhat, although there was an eyesore of a pest beside her.
He recalled how Bai Yunsheng had supported Consort Qin earlier; his expression turned cold as his earlier good mood diminished significantly. He coldly turned his horse around: "Let's go."
As they descended the mountain, Pang Yuanying turned his head just in time to see Bai Yunsheng lifting the carriage curtain for Qin Yaru and helping her into the carriage. His gaze flickered; he closed his eyes and chose not to look again—he had initially wanted to enjoy himself for a bit longer since a beauty who came willingly was always more delightful than prey obtained through hunting. However, time was truly limited; if he delayed any further, he feared he would miss out on tasting the beauty before his elder brother took her away.
"A mere Villager, Chen Wenyue is a clever person."
A trace of disgust and disdain flashed in Pang Yuanying's eyes, but soon, her expression relaxed as if she could already envision the stunning beauty beneath her, pleading seductively.
Qin Yaru naturally had no idea what this Marquis was plotting. In fact, at this moment, she couldn't care less about whether he was a Marquis or not.
As soon as they returned to Ji Ren Tang, the long-absent Zhao Yitan personally came to deliver a message. This time, he was exceptionally respectful: "Consort Qin, Chen Langjun is almost at Wudang. I have now purchased a manor for Chen Langjun in Wudang County. Until the old residence is renovated, Husband will temporarily stay there. Please, Consort Qin, tidy up and head over as soon as possible."
Qin Yaru maintained her composure and simply smiled, "Thank you for informing me, Chief Steward."
She had thought that hearing that person's name again and meeting him once more would surely unsettle her emotions. In the dead of night, she had imagined countless scenarios of their reunion—would they argue fiercely, cry bitterly, or would she dismiss him with disdain?
But now that the moment had arrived, she found herself surprisingly calm, her mind clearer than ever—this was an opportunity, the only opportunity. She must obtain the divorce papers and take Da Lang away before Chen Wenyue figured out her true feelings.
Qin Yaru took a deep breath and turned to Elder Ji, who looked worried, smiling gently: "Elder Ji, Zhan Commander's health is fine now. If A Qin has matters to attend to... please take care of Da Lang for a while."
She had a tough battle to fight with Chen Wenyue; it was better not to have Da Lang by her side.
