The General's Daughter Doesn't Want to Get Married!
Chapter 33: Panic

Chapter 33: Panic

"I think the matter about flooding in coastal areas can be transferred to the Teacher of the State, as for the epidemic at the southern border, I’ll go there to inspect the situation myself to confirm the statement from Crow."

"Marvelous! It is indeed a praiseworthy solution, courtier Yun! I’m afraid that there wouldn’t be any better solution than this one. However, you are getting married, is it appropriate for you to go in an inspection right after getting prepared for your marriage?"

The emperor praised the idea, naturally, the courtiers also found this solution amiable as they applauded the person in question.

"It’s alright, Your Majesty. The country’s well-being comes to me as the first priority, I’ll head out as soon as the wedding ceremony is done."

There was not much of a difference in Yun Shu’s facial expression, so there was no way to guess what she was thinking about either.

"Very well. Dispatch the Royal Guards to serve and protect Lord Yun during the journey and inspection. The palace will provide the materials to ensure and prioritize his safety!"

No matter what, Yun Shu was the favorite child of the Emperor, it was only right for him to take his nephew’s matters in his own hands.

The courtiers also didn’t oppose the Emperor’s decision, rather they were happy and harmonious to take on the decision made by the monarch willingly.

Soon the court was dismissed, and that’s the end of flashback.

"Did the morning court finish early today, My Lord? You are back faster than I expected." Bai Yunxian had a sour expression on his face as he looked at Yun Shu bitterly.

It was too hard not to notice the bitter expression on his face, Yun Shu sighed as she looked up at him directly.

"Is something the matter? You look bitter for some reason, didn’t you want to see your mother? Don’t tell me, they treated you badly? Or did they do that to your mother? If they really did something, then just tell me. It’s my responsibility to discipline my subordinates well."

By ’they’, Yun Shu meant the guards at her manor, who seemed dissatisfied with the rushed decision made by Yun Shu.

She wouldn’t be surprised if he were to get scorned by them even after she disciplined them through and through to not belittle her ’future wife’!

"They didn’t do anything, and they are very respectful to me. At least compared to their lord himself!" Bai Yunxian snorted as he looked outside the window, ignoring and brushing off Yun Shu completely.

?

’When was I disrespectful to hum? Could it be that, he didn’t like the arrangement I made for him?’

’But then again, even if he is disguising himself like a woman, he is still a man and has a suitable taste for man. It seems like I really didn’t give it proper thought.’

While Yun Shu was busy with her own thoughts, Bai Yunxian was staring at her with a blank face.

"You... until how long were you planning to keep me in the dark and see me make a fool of myself? Why didn’t you admit the moment you knew my identity?!"

Bai Yunxian burst in anger all of a sudden as he was feeling too emotional all of a sudden.

But the next moment, he panicked as he covered his mouth with both hands, looking up at the confused Yun Shu with a look of horror on his face.

What did I do?!

I’ve been too careless this time!

How could he not feel like he’s been betrayed after he found out that everything that was going so well till now was actually a lie?

He thought of Yun Shu as a reliable person, it was not anger, rather, it was actually anxiety of their relation with each other in future.

What if, he got bored and angry over me after playing me like a puppet for a long time?

No, I can’t rely on a man ever again... I have to rely on myself if I don’t want to get pushed over in that hell hole ever again!

For some moment, I thought that maybe, I can rely on Lord Yun for a short time . It seems that I’ve been too careless and got ahead of myself, giving up and revealing everything I got up to my sleeves.

When Bai Yunxian panicked and was thinking various things, Yun Shu frowned a little as she observed the guy.

He was clearly panicking, she could see clearly how much terror he was in just by looking at his anxious face and trembling hands under the sleeves.

’Which identity is he talking about? Let’s see, he has a lot of identity from before. But I don’t think aside from being a man and cross dressing, currently he doesn’t have his other identities.’

’So that means, he turned so alert and sensitive because of the earring I gave him?’

Let’s test the water a little before getting a thorough conversation.

"Hmm... are you talking about how I found out that you are a man but still didn’t notify you?"

!

Bai Yunxian looked anxious as he jumped up in fright and looked at Yun Shu with sharp eyes, but this reaction was enough for Yun Shu to confirm her idea as a faint smile spread on her face.

’Heh! He looks like a stray cat that I picked up from the streets! Look at him being so guarded and hissing at me, so cute!’

But then again, it was reasonable for him to be on guard after going through a long mess, so Yun Shu sighed as she took a deep breath and stared directly in his eyes, ready to have a thorough conversation.

"You really thought I didn’t know? Seriously, your expectation for a Martial Emperor should be far more than just this much, Miss Bai... no, should I call you Mr. Bai?"

!

Bai Yunxian was surprised once again, but he still had many questions in his mind that he wanted to have an answer from Yun Shu, so he didn’t respond as he patiently waited for a thorough explanation.
