Chapter 165: From Now On, Severing Ties with You

Chu Garden — Princess Mansion — Imperial Palace — Princess Mansion.

This was Chu Yu's itinerary on her first day back in Jiankang.

Even though she initially felt wandering and uneasy, almost shy as she approached her home, by the end of the day, Chu Yu could face Hua Cuo's questioning gaze with a completely calm demeanor.

From the afternoon when Chu Yu entered the palace until her return in the evening, Hua Cuo had been quietly standing at the entrance of the Princess Mansion. Clutching his sword, his proud face seemed unable to suppress some urge, but he continued to wait, waiting for Chu Yu to give him an answer.

Just today, before talking to Huan Yuan, he asked her where Rong Zhi was. At that time, she fell silent for a moment and told him that they would discuss it later. This "later" had extended until now; she talked to Huan Yuan and then immediately entered the palace, not returning until the sun had set.
