Xu Lei continued back toward the banquet hall.
Of course, the two guards of the Fourteenth Prince stationed in the manor's corridor now watched Xu Lei with strange expressions.
After all, Xu Lei had just bumped into the Fourteenth Prince's Princess Consort.
It even looked like they had briefly embraced.
Although it was clearly unintentional.
Their gazes were still strange.
Xu Lei could guess what they were thinking.
'Embracing the Prince's primary wife... if word of this reached the Prince's ears, could any good come of it?'
But Xu Lei wasn't the least bit flustered.
He was, after all, no ordinary person.
Besides, the face he was currently wearing was just an alias.
He could vanish into a crowd at any moment.
So, Xu Lei calmly returned to the banquet hall.
Just as he expected, Xu Lei saw that the atmosphere in the hall had grown somewhat tense.
"Your Highness, I hope nothing has happened to my dear sister?"
