1642 The Undergarment She Was Wearing Had Disappeared

As Beitang You watched the boy disappear into the distance, he heaved a quiet sigh of relief.

It seemed that Long Yin would no longer interfere with his relations.h.i.+p with Yaoyao, but he would not help them either.

With a sigh, he left North Garden.

The Prince Rui Mansion.

It was already late at night, but Yuan Xin was still in her daughters room, helping her pack for her trip to Great Shang in two days.

Hexin hastily caught her bustling mothers arm and said, Mother, its late. We can pack tomorrow.

Yuan Xin smiled at her. This will be your first time traveling so far from home since you grew up. Itll be a long journey to Great Shang, so you have to bring everything you need.

Hexin hesitated for a moment before asking, Mother, why do you want me to go to Great Shang?

Yuan Xin replied, Didnt I already tell you? Im getting old, and my body cant stand long journeys anymore.

Hexin pursed her lips. No ones going to believe that.

Yuan Xin said nonchalantly, It doesnt matter. Its just an excuse, anyway.

Hexin sat cross-legged on the bed, her long hair draped over her shoulders and her chin resting on one hand. You and Aunt Weiwei havent seen each other for a long time. You can go yourself, you know.

If I go, Long Yin will have to wait an extra day for me. Im an adult, after allI can go on my own if I want. Yuan Xin smiled. Besides, you should explore the outside world more since you have yet to come of age. Once you do in another two years, you wont get to go out as you please anymoreyoull have to stay at home and wait to marry.

Hexin nodded. You have a point, but I dont really feel like going to Great Shang.

Why? There was a slight pause in Yuan Xins movements. Arent you close with Yaoyao and Jier? If you go to Great Shang, theyll be sure to spend time with you. Besides, theyll be having their coming-of-age ceremony in the sixth month of the year, so other than celebrating Aunt Weiweis birthday, this trips also a chance for you to watch and learn from the ceremony.

Hexin got up and clung to her mothers arm like a pouting child. Can you really bear to let me go? Once I set off for Great Shang, you wont see me for half a year.

Yuan Xin stroked her silky hair with a smile. Its all right. Half a year will go by very quickly.

A corner of Hexins mouth twitched. Arent you worried Ill stay in Great Shang and not come back?

You want to marry someone over there? Yuan Xin arched an eyebrow.

I was just joking. Hexin rolled her eyes. Dont read too much into it.

As Yuan Xin gazed at her daughters slender figure, she suddenly became aware of how much her little girl had grown.

We can never tell whatll happen, but Im still going to say thistry not to marry someone who lives far away.

I understand, Mother. I wont, Hexin promised.

Seeing how serious her daughter was, Yuan Xin could not help adding, But if you meet a good man, you can consider it carefully, of course.

Hexin chose not to respond to her mothers contradicting pieces of advice and said, Im tired, Mother. You should go to bedIll do the packing myself tomorrow.

All right. Sleep well, then. Yuan Xin reluctantly rose and left her daughters room.

Hexin lay down on her bed and fell asleep not long after.

However, she kept dreaming of a pair of eyes.

It was a restless night of sleep for her.

The next day in North Garden.

When Yaoyao woke up, she discovered that the undergarment she was wearing had disappeared.

That was strangeshe clearly remembered wearing it the night before.

Even when Beitang You had undressed her in Serenity Palace, her undergarment had remained in place.

At this moment, however, it was gone.

What was going on?
