Chapter 2001: Chapter 2003: The Unknown Manor

Yang Ming and the others were taken away just like that, and they were even put onto a carriage!

The carriage traveled farther and farther, and no one knew how much time had passed, until it finally stopped!

"Young Master Yang, we’ve arrived, please get off the carriage!"

Yang Ming found it very strange. The people who had seemed so menacing earlier were now speaking in such a respectful manner!

And where exactly is this place?

If they were capturing him for questioning, it wouldn’t be surprising for it to be a prison or at least a government office!

But this place feels like an idyllic manor!

The overwhelming scent of flowers was indeed refreshing!

Still, now was not the time to appreciate such beautiful scenery.

Just as he was about to ask, the government officer spoke first.

"Young Master Yang, I deeply apologize for the earlier offense, please forgive us!"

"Regarding your issue, the Fourth Prince has already investigated thoroughly. The earlier offense was part of a setup by the Fourth Prince. This place is a manor with a wonderful environment; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it’s full of birdsong and floral scent. You are to stay here for a few days and enjoy the show!"

These words left Yang Ming very surprised and he greatly admired the Fourth Prince mentioned by the government officer!

If his guess was correct, this was a setup for Young Master Liu to fall into the trap!

Yang Ming stepped forward and saluted to express his thanks, "Thank you, big brother government officer!"

"No need to thank us, we are just following orders. Just consider this a vacation; there will be maids and servants attending to you. Once there’s news, the Fourth Prince will let you leave!"

After saying this, the government officer took his men and left.

Xiaoxiao was completely baffled, is there really such an unexpected twist?

On the way here, she was worried that they might end up in prison, or subjected to torture?

Her tender skin wouldn’t be able to bear it!

And what was the outcome?

It’s just like being on vacation, and she hadn’t even chosen where to go yet.

It’s just like being given a pillow when you wanted to sleep.

"Husband, it seems we don’t have to do anything about this!"

Actually, Xiaoxiao knew that Yang Ming wouldn’t just sit and wait idly, but she hadn’t expected someone to take over directly. In truth, this was better, although now they owed the Fourth Prince a favor, even if she still didn’t know who exactly the Fourth Prince was.

Xiaoxiao asked, "Husband, do you think we’ll get a chance to meet the Fourth Prince?"

"Probably not," Yang Ming replied.

Such a distinguished person isn’t someone ordinary people like us can just meet on a whim. The Fourth Prince arranging things this way is already quite a favor, Yang Ming didn’t hope to have a chance to meet him face to face.

At this time, a Little Maid approached, "Please follow me, everyone."

Yang Ming and the others followed her into this mysterious, unknown manor.

The first thing they saw was a garden of neatly manicured flowers, plants, and trees. Despite it being autumn, quite a few flowers were blooming—white, red, yellow, and pink, all pleasing to the eye.

The pervasive scent of flowers gave one the feeling of being surrounded by a sea of blooms.

Moving forward, they passed a small stone arch bridge, under which a stream flowed, with red and colorful fish swimming merrily, lifting their spirits as well.

The manor wasn’t large, but it had everything needed—a pavilion for rest, little paths for leisurely walks...

What excited Xiaoxiao the most was that there was an open-air hot spring here, not large, but plenty big enough for a few people to soak in.

Coming here, Xiaoxiao had never seen a hot spring before. The thought of comfortably soaking in the hot spring made her incredibly happy, thrilled beyond measure—this was a natural hot spring, so much purer than any modern hot spring resort.
