The Herbal Scents of Farm Life

Chapter 3406: Chapter 3407: Just a Chance Encounter

"Poof!"

Upon hearing Uncle Zeng’s words, Lin Caisang spat out a mouthful of tea.

How could there be such a woman? Now she had seen it all. It’s as if she didn’t even regard men as humans – deciding on an engagement and then breaking it off, just like that.

And now she even wanted to meddle with the fine offspring of the Lin Family. She must be dreaming!

"What’s her name?"

She stopped her laughter in a second and asked Uncle Zeng.

"Is the boss asking about the Commandery Princess? Her name is Yuan Yingying." Uncle Zeng replied to her question.

...

At the State Duke An’s Mansion, a few servants were currently blocking a flamboyantly dressed young girl at the main gate.

"How dare you, blind fools! Look clearly, is this Commandery Princess someone you can stop?" Yuan Yingying glared angrily at the gatekeeping servants, and in her fury, slapped one of them hard.

The servant who was hit felt the pain but didn’t dare to do anything to Yuan Yingying. After all, he was just a servant, while this unruly lady in front of him was the young Commandery Princess of the State Duke An’s Mansion.

"Commandery Princess, Lord State Duke has ordered that you cannot leave the house these days." He respectfully said to Yuan Yingying.

Would he willingly block this tantrum-throwing Commandery Princess? In reality, it was because Lord State Duke had given them strict orders, forbidding Yuan Yingying from going out and causing trouble.

If they failed to keep the Commandery Princess from leaving and Lord State Duke found out, wouldn’t he have them beaten to death?

"How could my father not let me leave the house!"

Yuan Yingying simply didn’t believe the servant’s words. Her father had always doted on her the most. She only wanted to wait at the palace gates for Lin Changfeng to return from court for a little ’coincidental’ encounter.

If her father found out, he would surely support her.

"Let this Commandery Princess through. If you delay my matters, let’s see if I’ll spare you!"

"Commandery Princess, please don’t make it difficult for us. It was indeed an order from Lord State Duke." The servant looked at her helplessly and said.

Isn’t it precisely because Yuan Yingying had been persistently seeking out Lord Changfeng these days, leading Lord Changfeng to avoid her so much that he no longer stayed in his own mansion and instead moved into the Elder Princess’ Mansion?

This matter reached the ears of the Crown Prince, who then mentioned it to the Emperor.

Upon learning about this, the Emperor was furious and directly summoned Lord State Duke, reprimanding him severely and ordering that the young Commandery Princess must not pester Lord Changfeng anymore.

That’s why Lord State Duke prohibited the Commandery Princess from leaving the house. If she continued to chase after Lord Changfeng, it wouldn’t merely be a matter of reprimanding the State Duke.

"Commandery Princess, please go back. Maybe in a few days, Lord State Duke will allow you to go out?"

"In a few days?!"

Hearing this, Yuan Yingying was so anxious she almost jumped with frustration.

A few days? As if she didn’t know that the daughter of Prince Xiangyang also fancied Lin Changfeng. If she didn’t keep a vigilant watch, who knew if that woman would seize the opportunity first?

"No way, let this Commandery Princess through, out of the way..."

In her anger, seeing that the servants still wouldn’t let her pass, she decided to force her way through. After all, these servants wouldn’t dare really mess with her. She was the Commandery Princess; anyone who dared lay a finger on her would inevitably face severe consequences.

But then...

"Ying’er!"

Just as she was about to rush out, a familiar voice came from behind her.

Yuan Yingying paused in her steps and turned around with extreme grievance to look at the person who had arrived.

"Mother, these wretched servants won’t let me out!"

"That’s your father’s order."
