As the carriage departed from the Xin residence, Xin Xiyao looked back and saw Xin Jiuwei standing there, smiling and waving at her.

After Xin Xiyao left, Xie Changjing led a group of young men and women who were still willing to go up the mountain for a spring outing, and they went up the mountain one after another.

Xin Xiyao took Xin's carriage. Liu Qi came in a small carriage with Yuan Xiaoshi. When Xin Jiuwei went to see Xin Xiyao off, other young ladies had already boarded their carriages, so there was no room left.

Xie Changjing deliberately spoke loudly, "Miss Xin, do you not have a carriage? It's a pity I came on horseback, and given our relationship, it wouldn't be appropriate to invite you to ride with me."

Xin Jiuwei glanced at him and said, "Who would want to ride with you? Aren't they afraid of breaking their leg?"

Xie Changjing's face immediately darkened. "So you're going to refuse a polite offer and then have to suffer the consequences again, aren't you?"

"Brother Changjing!" Qi Huaiyu hurried over. "Jiuwei speaks frankly, Brother Changjing, please don't take offense."

"It's only because you can give her a nice look." Xie Changjing said unhappily, "If it weren't for you, such a rude woman would probably be an old maid in the Xin family."

Xin Jiuwei said, "There's no need for you to worry about that, Brother Xie. You should check if your horse has an upset stomach today, so that when we come down from the mountain, you won't be the one looking for a carriage."

"You!" Xie Changjing was so angry he couldn't speak. "If you're so capable, hurry up the mountain. I want to see what you've got up your sleeve today!"

With that, he mounted his horse and headed up the mountain.

Xin Jiuwei stood calmly in place, while many young masters and ladies behind her boarded the carriage one after another. However, because of the conversation just now, they all lifted the curtains to watch the excitement.

Thus, they clearly witnessed Qi Huaiyu seemingly being very tolerant in persuading Xin Jiuwei.

"Jiuwei, would you like to ride in the same car as me?"

Xin Jiuwei glanced behind Qi Huaiyu and chuckled, "Oh, so you came by car. This car looks..."

She glanced at it and immediately looked at it with disapproval, saying, "It seems a bit small."

"It's just for getting around. It's a bit small, but you can still sit in it," Qi Huaiyu said good-naturedly. "I can't just watch you walk up. Look, without me at home, they couldn't even arrange a carriage for you."
