Seeing that the people in the carriage had not gotten off, Chang Mian naturally could not give up, so he said that his leg was injured and he could not walk.

If Zhu Tao were the only person in the carriage, given their chance encounter at the restaurant earlier that day, and the fact that Chang Mian was disguised as a man, it would have been natural for Zhu Tao to invite Chang Mian into the carriage. However, Zhu Tao is not in the carriage now.

Baqi wasn't in a good mood and thought this person was trying to scam him, so he got off with a sour face.

It just so happens that I ran into either Yunqi or Zhu Tao.

Chang Mian wasn't blind; she was somewhat bewildered by the three people walking towards her.

She knew all three of them. One was her target, Zhu Tao, and the other two were her cousins. Ba Qi's uncle was her stepmother, so it was perfectly normal for her to call them cousins.

Chang Mian sensed something was wrong and quickly lowered her head.

Ba Qi ignored Yunxi and Zhu Tao. After all, he had been disciplined by his family and told to stay out of trouble. He was a young master from a wealthy family, while Yunxi and Zhu Tao were now officials.

Ba Qi approached Chang Mian and said, "What's wrong with you? My carriage didn't touch you. What, are you trying to frame me?"

Chang Mian was about to say she was leaving when Zhu Tao spoke up, "Young master, I met you at the restaurant today. Do you remember me?"

Zhu Tao didn't see the face, but the clothes looked very familiar.

Chang Mian refused, saying, "Young master, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

After saying that, she tried to get up from the ground; she wanted to leave quickly, as she couldn't stay any longer.

She wanted to leave, but Baqi disagreed.

"Wait, aren't you having trouble walking? Come on, let's go to the clinic."

As Ba Qi spoke, he even grabbed Chang Mian's hat, and the two of them pulled it off, revealing that Chang Mian was a woman.

Baqi and Yunqi also saw Chang Mian's face.

The two said in unison, "Cousin Chang Mian?"

Zhu Tao was also a little confused. This person was clearly the one he had met at the restaurant earlier. Why hadn't she admitted it earlier? And how did she turn into a woman?

Chang Mian sensed something was wrong, but said aloud, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, cousin. I won't bother you any longer and will take my leave now."

Before anyone could react, he ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After Yunqi and Zhu Tao boarded the carriage, Zhu Tao asked, "What's the story with this cousin?"

Thinking about what happened today, Yunxi said truthfully, "That princess is my second maternal aunt's illegitimate daughter. I don't know if my sister has told you that on Father's birthday, she said she wanted to be your concubine."
