Chapter 393 Actually, it's escorting Ye Zi

Qi Younian had been prepared for the current situation, yet he never expected it to arrive so swiftly.

He knew his granddaughter bore an extraordinary identity, and at first, he had clung to the slim hope that, in this vast world and amid the sea of people, they would never encounter Ye Zi's family.

However, that hope did not last long before Prince Yu and Magistrate Sir got involved.

To the then Qi Younian, the Magistrate Sir was already an unreachable local authority, and the royal prince, a son of the emperor, was even more an out-of-reach figure who should not have appeared before commoners like them. Yet, the prince did appear, and the granddaughter he had acknowledged often maintained a state of equal footing with the prince, although Ye Zi would also yield to the prince. But that was because she did not want her runaway whereabouts to be revealed, not because she feared the prince's status.
