Wu Chen smiled faintly: “I only discovered we had no money when disembarking, and the boatmen didn’t charge us. They’re really good people.” I knew the following days without him explaining – it must be that this foolish Wu Chen felt taking a free ride was wrong, so he took Shi Ran walking to Ying City, and their meals along the way – I looked at Shi Ran, hmm, I went through the same back then. Then I looked at Xiao Zi and Feng Qingyin.
Wu Chen ended up like this because of money, but I recall they didn’t have any either, right?
Xiao Zi looked at the scenery nonchalantly: “We just borrowed some from passersby.”
Borrow? I blinked. This kid is really clever. Huh, borrow?! I widened my eyes and turned to Feng Qingyin: “How did you… borrow?”
Feng Qingyin furrowed his brow but answered honestly: “Borrowed by holding a knife to someone’s neck…”
After Meng Yu’s mediation, I suppressed my urge to strangle them, “calmly” accepting the fact that they had robbed people and tried to discuss the next steps.
“Okay, since we think Yi Qing was most likely picked up by the Mu family of Ying City, let’s check them out first,” I summarized after Wu Chen’s explanation.
“The Mu family of Jiangnan?” Meng Yu interjected.
“Do you know them?” I asked, excited.
Meng Yu shook his head: “Just heard of them. The number one young master of Jiangnan.”
“Number one young master of Jiangnan?” I looked at him in surprise. “Normally, with ‘south hot, north cold’, this title should belong to Hong Junyi, so how…” I stopped mid-sentence, realizing why myself. No need to explain! Just look at Hong Junyi’s character! Young master… about ten thousand miles away from that description.
Qing Cong turned back, sitting high on his horse with a faint smile: “Are you hurt? If you don’t mind, please come to the mansion for a cup of wedding wine.”
Little Zi pulled me to dive into the crowd, but I shook her off: “I’ll go!”
The man on the horse gave me a strange glance and rode on silently.
“Make way!” The sedan bearers pushed me aside and continued carrying the wedding sedan.
I felt abandoned, wanting to laugh and cry at the same time. I stared blankly as they hurried past me.
