Wanruo looked at him gravely, and after a long silence, she slowly said, "What can you do?"
"I've been trading between Western Zhou and Northern Liang for many years. Now that the two countries are on good terms, trade has already begun at the border. It's time for me to leave the capital and return to Cangzhou. If the young lady is willing, I can take her to Cangzhou, and then follow the caravan out of Western Zhou and into Northern Liang!"
"Even though the Xie family is powerful, they can't reach Beiliang. If you go to Beiliang, you can live a peaceful life there. You'll have a new world to explore! How can this not be better than staying in the capital and waiting to be forcibly taken into someone's family?"
"I'm not only here to apologize today, but also to say goodbye. I've been planning to leave the capital the day after tomorrow. I've been staying here for too long and haven't been able to take care of my family's business. But seeing you in such a state today, I'm really worried. Why don't you come with me?"
Wanruo fell into deep thought.
He said sincerely, "You don't have to worry about this shop. Shopkeeper Zhang can help you with it. If you're worried, you can leave a capable maid here to watch over it. I'll exchange it for cash and send it to you."
"Miss Bai, you saved my life. Now I want to repay your kindness. There is no time to lose. I will come to pick you up the next morning!"
Wanruo was still dazed and was about to speak when he pushed the wheelchair away.
She sat silently in the armchair, staring blankly.
It was not until dusk that Xie Xianyu arrived as expected against the dim afterglow.
He was coated with a layer of gold, as if shining, he was born like this, with extraordinary talent and talent, and was the center of attention.
She was in the dark, looking up at him. Although they were very close, they felt far away.
"Has the eldest lady been here today?" he asked as soon as he arrived.
Wanruo came back to her senses and nodded: "Yeah."
He frowned slightly: "Did she say anything to you?"
"Nothing." She lowered her eyes.
He leaned over the arm of the chair, knelt on one knee, and stroked her hair: "Wanwan, don't take those words to heart. I will make arrangements."
Wanruo looked at him calmly: "I know."
She was not angry with him, nor did she feel aggrieved. Her calmness made him feel uneasy.
"It's reasonable for the Madam to be angry. After all, in her opinion, I deceived her. And the Madam didn't say anything. She just thought it was not good for me to show up in public," Wanruo's expression had returned to normal.
Looking at her well-behaved appearance, he felt very depressed in his heart.
But he had no place to vent his anger, so he could only swallow it down.
"Don't think too much. I will definitely do what I promised. Just stay here and wait for me, okay?" He restrained himself and softened his tone.
"Where else can I go if I don't stay here? Didn't you send someone to keep an eye on me all the time?" Wanruo raised her lips sarcastically.
He knew that she went to Zhang's house in the middle of the night, and he also knew that the eldest lady had been there. She was not stupid, so how could she not guess?
He knew her every move, so there must be someone secretly watching her all the time.
Xie Xianyu's eyes narrowed slightly, guessing that she would find out sooner or later, so he simply didn't bother to pretend with her.
"It's good that you understand. I'm having someone watch you for your own good. If you're in any danger, I can protect you in time."
Wan Ruo sneered: "Protect me, or monitor me?"
"If you didn't have so many evil thoughts, I wouldn't have asked people to keep an eye on you. Don't you know what you have done?" His eyes were cold.
Wanruo shut up and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
He was always right, and what if she won the argument? Could he just remove her?
How is that possible? If he were to be honest, he wouldn't be Xie Xianyu.
He sighed deeply, his tough tone adding a touch of helplessness: "Wanwan, be obedient and don't get angry with me. I'll give you an explanation after I finish my work."
"What are you busy with?"
"Tomorrow is the autumn hunt. I have to go to the enclosure with the emperor. I won't be back for about three days."
He ruffled her hair and said, "You might have to go out for a few days. I'm afraid there will be trouble in the capital. I'll let Fu Xian bring people to watch over you, okay?"
Wanruo lowered her eyes and muttered, "I know."
She behaved well, but it was unclear whether she was really being obedient or just pretending.
