Prince Duan? Kuai Minglang jolted in shock, and suddenly it dawned on him. It was Prince Duan who was after Bai Ruozhu, or more accurately, the faction behind her, including the lord audibly present and even the smuggled items that might be more than just toothpaste. It seemed he had been slow to react; this was not a woman's impulse, but rather a swift extrication from a trap, with the intention of biting back at Prince Duan.
But he was just a lowly prefect; how was he supposed to prosecute Prince Duan? Dismissing the thought, he figured it was best to take one step at a time, and for now, just observe how Bai Ruozhu would proceed.
He greatly disliked the feeling of being led by the nose, yet Bai Ruozhu's actions commanded his respect, leaving him unable to harbor the slightest resentment. The skies of Beiyu City were changing, and he, Kuai Minglang, was unlikely to meet a good end.
