Her eyes rolled and an idea occurred to her, "Do you really want to pledge yourself to me?"
The girl in white was shy and timid. "My parents are both dead, so I came here to seek refuge with my relatives. But they refused to let me in, so I am in such a difficult situation. Thanks to you for helping me out, so..."
"Okay then! I have something to do here, so you can stay in the inn first. I will come back to marry you after I finish the things on hand. By then, I will marry you in a formal ceremony and will not let you down!" Yun Rou said with a strained smile.
The girl in white responded with joy in her eyes.
Yun Rou thought to herself: I can see that you are not a good person, otherwise why would you be so eager to help me?
"Then you walk in front and I'll follow behind. Don't let people misunderstand that the girl is a frivolous person." Yun Rou warned.
The girl looked at her shyly again, and really walked ahead.
After returning to the inn, Yun Rou did not see Yuan Feng, so she took a rest outside Chu Qianyi's room. Although she lay down, she kept thinking about what Yuan Feng said today, which made her feel overwhelmed and unable to fall asleep.
As a result, she got up late the next day, and it was already noon when she hurriedly packed her bags and set off.
Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianxiu said they wanted to ride horses, so the carriage was empty, and Yun Rou had long forgotten about the girl in white.
Everything seemed normal, except that Yun Rou and Yuan Feng didn't seem so hostile anymore. Although they didn't talk much, the look in their eyes already showed signs of reconciliation.
The journey was safe, but they didn't make it to the next inn, so they had to spend the night in the mountains.
Fortunately, it was April and the weather was clear and refreshing. Chu Qianyi rested in the carriage while Chu Qianxiu slept outside, which was quite nice.
But Chu Qianyi had just entered the carriage when he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
Yun Rou and Yuan Feng arrived at the same time. In tacit understanding, one of them hugged Chu Qianyi who almost fell off the horse, while the other lifted the curtain to check.
Not to mention Chu Qianyi, when Yun Rou saw the thing in white clothes, half of its body sticking out from the seat, with disheveled hair, she was almost scared to death.
Yuanfeng was even more direct. He went up and grabbed the thing's hair and dragged it out.
"Ouch! Ouch, be gentle!"
When that thing made a sound, Yun Rou was stunned.
It turned out that it was not a thing, but the girl in white from last night.
But before setting off in the morning, Yun Rou checked the carriage and found that there was no one in it.
"Tell me! What is your purpose?!" Yun Rou asked while comforting Chu Qianyi.
"I... I was just afraid that you would abandon me, so I followed you quietly. I didn't expect that you would... would..." As she spoke, the girl in white glanced at Yun Rou and Chu Qianyi with resentment in her eyes, and then she choked up and became speechless.
Yun Rou was so upset. Did this girl think that he was dating another girl behind her back and was jealous? ! "I was just kidding you about what happened last night!" Yun Rou said seriously, "Why did you really follow me?"
"How can marriage be treated as a joke?" The girl looked at her with tears in her eyes.
Yun Rou cleared her throat, then raised her neck and pointed at her neck, saying, "Did you see clearly? I'm a woman, and you want me to marry you? I'm afraid I don't have the ability! How about this, since you are so grateful to me, how about being my maid?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then began to cry and tell about her miserable life.
Her name is Bai Lingling. She came from the countryside to live with her relatives. However, the arranged marriage for her when she was a child was no longer recognized by the man because he had become successful.
She cried out to heaven and earth for help, but no one answered her call. If Yun Rou hadn't paid her the rent that day, she would have planned to jump into the river.
At the end, she was still crying and complaining that Yun Rou was joking with her about such a big thing and didn't mention being a maid at all.
Yun Rou glanced at Yuan Feng and said, "Actually, that day..."
"Actually, that little bit of silver is nothing to her. Her family owns a mine. You don't have to be grateful to her. Just find a way to make a living!" Yuanfeng said quickly.
After saying that, perhaps because he was afraid that Bai Lingling would get too attached to him, he continued, "In fact, there are dim sum shops everywhere, and they all hire female workers. You can definitely find a meal if you go there!"
Afraid that Bai Lingling would refuse, Yuan Feng added: "If you don't dare to go, let Yun Rou take you there. She is very familiar with the people there."
Yun Rou rolled her eyes at him, but in her heart she still felt a little happy for his eagerness to distance himself from the matter.
But Bai Lingling ignored him and said, "I want to go back to my hometown. Are you going south? Can you take me with you?"
Yun Rou always felt that there was something wrong with this girl and wanted to refuse her, but Chu Qianyi actually said, "The carriage is empty anyway, let her sit..."
Oh my little ancestor, how naive you must be to not be able to see that Bai Lingling has ulterior motives!
Yun Rou really wanted to say it, but she was a princess, so how could she speak casually? She could only remain vigilant.
Bai Lingling was quite diligent. She followed the group for three days. Not only did she do simple chores, but she also kept watch at night like a maid. Even when they had to sleep in the wilderness, she would not sleep in the carriage.
Yun Rou thought she had mistaken the person, but on the fourth night, Bai Lingling's true colors were revealed.
In the second half of the night, Yuanfeng was on guard duty, and Yunrou suddenly heard Bai Lingling's scream.
She hurriedly looked over and saw that the hem of Bai Lingling's skirt was burnt by the campfire and it looked like her leg was injured. The girl, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, kept trying to get into Chu Qianxiu's arms.
Chu Qianzheng was half asleep and pushed her subconsciously, causing Bai Lingling's long hair to be burned again...
“Wuwuwu, Master, it hurts so much…” Although Bai Lingling was crying, she had to admit that her makeup was neat and tidy, her clothes were torn, her hair was burned, but her makeup was not affected at all…
Yun Rou could see that this girl was probably looking for a rich husband. She had set her eyes on her at first, but after a few days she found that although Chu Qianxiu was young, he had a high status, so she changed her target.
How could such a person be allowed to stay with His Highness? Yun Rou was about to reprimand her, but unexpectedly Chu Qianyi spoke first, "Aunt Yun, send her to a clinic at dawn tomorrow! There is one in the town we passed by before!"
"But that's far away, I'll still follow you..."
Bai Lingling just opened her mouth when Chu Qianyi interrupted her, "We changed our route. We are not going south anymore, but west now! We can't take you with us!"
Not only that, Chu Qianyi also moved the quilt to lie next to Chu Qianxiu, and said angrily: "You are so dishonest when sleeping, go sleep over there, or you will burn yourself to death later!"
This little girl seems to be jealous!
