Han Shuang brewed a cup of tea for Mo Lan. Looking at Ting Yu's resentful expression, she grumbled inwardly, but a hint of schadenfreude flashed in her eyes.
"It's almost dawn."
"Yes, I know. I'm catching my train in a bit."
Tingyu glanced out the window and spoke without thinking, not finding anything strange about it.
Mo Lan saw that he was still lost in his own thoughts, so she didn't remind him.
After Tingyu got out of the car and washed up, the two exchanged a glance, calmly drank their tea, and waited for dawn.
A moment later, Tingyu's incredulous howl could be heard.
"How is this possible? How could this happen? What on earth happened?"
Song Jian and Xiong Da, who were standing nearby, were startled by Tingyu's question, "What's wrong with you?"
The two looked around at the scenery and didn't find anything strange. What was so special about this desolate place?
Tingyu stared blankly at Song Jian, then turned to look at the carriage in front of her. She opened her mouth, but had too many questions in her mind and didn't know where to start.
What exactly happened while he was asleep?
How did they suddenly appear on the outskirts of Liangjing overnight?
There were too many unbelievable things in between, and suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, and I wisely shut my mouth.
"Alright, let's go."
Han Shuang looked at Ting Yu, who was in a bad mood, and felt very smug.
They seem so naive and unsophisticated.
Listening to the rain: "..."
Did he just get looked down upon?
Thinking of this, I turned to observe the expressions of the others and realized that everyone else was normal except for myself.
Is it really because I'm just inexperienced?
Filled with questions, Tingyu sat in front of the carriage, mechanically driving, not even wanting to say a word.
He only regained his composure when they were near the city gate. "When we enter the city later, everything is up to me."
"Yes, it's your territory, you're in charge."
Their identities and household registrations are not convincing enough and cannot withstand scrutiny.
In the heart of the capital, the powerful and wealthy hold sway, and the higher one's rank, the more one can crush others; it's all about status and power.
Therefore, at this time, they just need to remain silent.
Sure enough, when the carriage passed through the city gate, it was stopped for inspection. The previously arrogant city gate official...
Upon seeing the Tingyu waist tag, his expression immediately became cautious.
Forget about questioning them, they immediately took a step back, bowed and scraped, and respectfully saw them off.
Such differential treatment made the three of them truly experience the benefits of power.
It works better than silver!
No wonder some people are so eager to pursue a career in government; the superior status alone makes people flock to it.
After entering the imperial city, Tingyu slowed down the car. Before that, she explained the basic situation of the Qin family to the three of them.
"Miss, I don't know the situation inside the manor right now. Entering rashly will definitely attract attention. Why don't you go to my residence first?"
"We're here to make things difficult, so any arrangements are fine with us."
Mo Lan didn't care about these things. She was just Qin Su's friend, not someone from the Qin family. Why bother with such formalities?
The carriage swayed and wobbled, turning east and west, until it finally stopped at the entrance of a courtyard.
"This is where I usually live. Apart from a young apprentice, there are no other servants."
As Tingyu spoke, she knocked on the door.
A moment later, a little head peeked out the door. When it saw Tingyu, it immediately opened the door happily.
"Young master, you're back."
“Yes,” Tingyu nodded and drove the carriage inside.
Mo Lan looked at Ting Yu's courtyard and smelled the faint scent of herbs in the air. She had to admit, although the courtyard was small, it was quite elegantly decorated.
