I watched the fire in front of me grow bigger and bigger.
Sang Luan and Meng Youning then slowly moved closer together, each hugging their arms, leaning close together, staring intently at the scene in front of them.
There were already many things in the courtyard, and a fire source was enough to burn the entire courtyard to ashes.
Gradually, the fire in front of me grew bigger and bigger, and the smoke became thicker and thicker.
Sang Luan extended her hand towards Meng Youning.
Meng Youning put her hand on it without thinking.
Then, Sang Luan smiled with satisfaction, took Meng Youning's hand and ran quickly towards the city gate.
The corners of their clothes rose slightly, forming an arc in the air.
Sang Luan and Meng Youning looked back at the same time, muttering in their hearts:
Goodbye, Shengjing.
After a cup of tea.
Sang Luan looked at the wooden door in front of her and said to Meng Youning beside her, "This is the location. It should be correct, right?"
Meng Youning looked around sideways and finally nodded solemnly, "Yes, this is the location Muxiang told me about."
The two men took a deep breath and stepped forward at the same time. One of them stretched out a hand, placed it on the wooden door, and slowly pushed it open.
"Why you?"
Sang Luan and Meng Youning frowned slightly, looking obviously unhappy.
The two people in front of him were Muxiang and Yupo.
The moment they saw Sang Luan and Meng Youning push the door open, Muxiang and Yupo knelt down heavily at the same time.
The two of them stood with their backs straight, and their tone was more resolute than ever before. "Wherever you go, we servants will go."
Sang Luan pointed at Yupo and gritted her teeth. "Why are you being so clever? I've already made sure you have a way out, so why did you follow us? Take my letter back to the Shangshu Mansion, and my parents won't make things difficult for you."
Mu Xiang lowered her head and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I have already arranged the letters you asked me to give to the master, as well as the messages to the old lady and the lady in the mansion. I will definitely deliver them to them on time."
Sang Luan stretched out his hand and rubbed his brow, "This is not a matter of letters, you..."
Before she could finish her words, Yupo spoke hurriedly, "Miss, the person Miss Ning wants to pick up is already waiting outside the city gate, waiting for us to leave. The carriage is also ready."
She said seriously, "It will take another cup of tea to get from here to the city gate, but the guards at the gate need to check us, which will also waste some time. So we don't have much time left. We have to hurry over. In half an hour, the city gate will be closed, and it will be difficult to get out then."
Sang Luan couldn't help laughing, "Have you two already planned this behind our backs?"
Yupo raised her eyes slightly, staring straight at Sang Luan, "Miss, please don't be angry. I really just want to follow you, not just because I've served you since I was a child."
She looked somewhat dejected. "Young lady, you know what kind of people my parents are. Back then, my mother sold me to a human trafficker in order to pay for my younger brother's medical treatment. If it weren't for the young lady who met me and rescued me from the human traffickers, I don't know where I'd be living now."
Yupo paused, then continued, "Over the years, although the young lady can be a bit rude at times, she's always been very caring towards me. She never forgets me when she has something to offer, especially in the past two years. She's been even better to me."
Yupo knelt forward, quickly reaching out to tug at Sang Luan's dress, tilting her head slightly and gently shaking the hem of her dress. "From that moment on, I made up my mind that I would stay by your side for the rest of my life. Even if you have to travel through mountains and rivers, there should be someone by your side to light the fire and cook. This way, it will be easier."
Muxiang, who was standing beside her, nodded heavily, holding up her dress with both hands.
She silently took two steps forward and hugged Meng Youning's thighs. "Yes, Master, if you run into bandits, I can still protect you from a heavy blow."
Meng Youning's face was cold. "Luan'er and I have only planned the route, but even we ourselves don't know what will happen along the way. You just follow us..."
Mu Xiang quickly shook her head, eager to express her thoughts, "It's okay, it's okay."
Sang Luan and Meng Youning sighed softly, "Alright, let's go."
Muxiang and Yupo were delighted and reacted quickly.
The two men quickly stood up and took the bags from Sang Luan and Meng Youning respectively.
Yupo said happily: "Master, hurry up, the carriage is here."
Then, the four of them quickly got on the carriage.

Prince's Mansion.
"Princess." A maid dressed in lavender quietly and respectfully placed the item in front of Jiang Zhuo. "This is what Sister Muxiang asked me to give you an hour ago."
After a pause, she added, "She said that this is what the Crown Princess wanted to tell you."
Jiang Zhuo opened it with a puzzled look on his face and read it line by line.
The more she looked, the uglier her expression became.
Jiang Zhuo slammed the table, "Is this what the Crown Princess herself meant?"
The little maid in lavender clothes nodded, "Sister Muxiang said yes."
Jiang Zhuo was about to say something when suddenly an idea came to him. He folded the paper in his hand and put it in his arms.
Immediately afterwards, she led her group to Yunyan Pavilion.
On the way here, Jiang Zhuo kept praying in her mind that things would not be as she imagined.
