Chapter 381: Chapter 446

The Zhao’s were not from the capital, which was why they weren’t too familiar with noble etiquette. When they saw the embroidered seats being moved by the servants, they sat down instantly, not knowing that according to the etiquette, they were only supposed to sit on half the seat.Fịndd new updates on

Naturally, Mu Mingtang would not care too much about that with them. Once she saw that the duo was seated, she stated, “The Prince and I have been bothering you quite a lot lately. Things might become troublesome for you, so I hope Sir Zhao and Madam Zhao can forgive us.”

Squire Zhao was a well-known squire in Qingshui Town. Addressing him by the term ‘sir’ meant that Mu Mingtang respected the man enough to use honorifics when it came to the squire. Madam Zhao hurriedly declined and said that she didn’t have to, “The King of Qiyang coming here to fight makes him the benefactor of our entire Qinghe Town. It is our family’s honour for the Princess to live in the Zhao family instead of it being troublesome.”

Even if the royal family such as Ye Luyan knew Chinese and learned their culture, they were still people outside the customs of the tradition. They drank blood, burned, killed and looted, which brought disaster to the common people of the Ye Dynasty. Hence, folks of the Ye Dynasty and the Khitans hated each other, which was why there was no surprise when all Madam Zhao had to say about the enemy was nothing but crass words.

Mu Mingtang had also experienced a war first-hand and understood this all too well. Instead, she was a little surprised, “Since Mother Zhao is worried about the Beirong army’s invasion and the fact that they’re so close, why haven’t you left?”

“Where can we go?” Mother Zhao complained, “Unless there isn’t another alternative, who would be willing to part with their home? When I first learned that the Beirong people were coming from the other side of the river, I was very scared and packed all my luggage. I planned to go to the capital to join my relatives. Unexpectedly, news came two or three days later that the King of Qiyang was going to war. When I heard that, I felt determined to stay and check out the situation for a few more days. Later, my relatives in the capital sent me a message, confirming that it was indeed the King of Qiyang who brought his men to fight. Now that he is here, we have no reason to escape any longer.”
