The group spent the night in the cave, and set off towards the outside of the mountain at dawn the next day.
Xiao Yunying tried her best not to hold back, but her physical strength was no match for these men, and she didn't know martial arts, so she still delayed the time it took for them to leave the mountain.
While they used their light-footed skills to leap and bound through the trees like monkeys, she could only cling tightly to Luo Sheng, like a baby monkey clinging to its mother.
However, Luo Sheng was injured and had been weak due to excessive blood loss, so he couldn't carry her for long. They could only walk and stop intermittently, and it took Wei Xun more than twice as long as they had taken to get out of this deep mountain forest.
Luo Sheng had been informed by his subordinates in advance, and a carriage was already waiting where they had come from.
Seeing several horses nearby, Xiao Yunying asked Luo Sheng, "Are you going back to the capital already?"
Luo Yong plucked a blade of grass from her head: "I must hurry back; I'm worried the Emperor might be in danger."
Xiao Yunying pulled him to the other side of the carriage, blocking the view of others, and began taking things out of the supermarket.
At the same time, he kept instructing, "These are anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicines. You know how to take them. This is a fever reducer. You can take one if you get a fever."
And this is a mixture of chili powder and pepper powder. If you encounter danger, you can sprinkle it on the other person's face, but be careful not to get it on your own face.
Your wound is healing well; it seems almost healed. You can use scissors to cut the fishing line and pull it out.
Luo Sheng took the things she gave him, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I understand."
Xiao Yunying said worriedly, "You must be careful. Madam Luo and the children are waiting for you to come back."
"And what about you?"
"What about me?"
Luo Sheng stepped forward: "Will you wait for me to come back?"
Xiao Yunying rolled her eyes at him: "Stop talking nonsense. Get out of my way, you're blocking my way to get on the car."
She stepped onto the carriage using a footstool and found it filled with all the things she had bought before.
Unexpectedly, Luo Sheng's subordinates were quite helpful and retrieved all of these items for her.
Two of the outfits were men's clothes, which she bought based on her estimation of Luo Sheng's size, intending them as a thank-you gift for him rescuing her from the Empress Dowager.
She took out the bundle, lifted the carriage curtain, and said, "This is for you."
Luo Sheng put the things in his hands into his robes and took the bundle: "Did you buy this especially for me?"
Xiao Yunying did not answer: "Hurry up and change your clothes."
Luo Sheng seemed to be sighing, "I wonder when I'll be able to wear the clothes you made for me."
Xiao Yunying felt that he was pushing his luck: "Don't even think about it, I can't do needlework."
After saying that, he lowered the curtain.
Luo Sheng replied loudly, "It's fine, it's the same if you buy it for me."
He felt that if he didn't know needlework, he naturally wouldn't know how to make clothes. Xiao Yunying didn't refuse directly, indicating that if she knew how, she would definitely make clothes for him.
Luo Sheng, carrying his bundle, said, "Yun Ying, I've sent people to protect you. They'll only leave once we've entered Donglin City. Don't go sightseeing along this stretch of road. I'll accompany you when we have time later."
A voice from inside the carriage said "I understand," and only then did Luo Sheng reluctantly mount his horse.
"Yun Ying, I'm leaving."
Xiao Yunying finally couldn't help but lift the curtain and say, "You must be careful."
Don't worry.
Luo Sheng changed direction on his horse, leading his group of people away from her sight.
Xiao Yunying watched him until he disappeared at the end of the road before saying to the guard driving the carriage, "Let's go."
This time, instead of leisurely sightseeing, she was even more pressed for time than when she came.
She was worried about her family; the Empress Dowager had already taken action against her, and she didn't know if her children and parents were alright.
She only remembered this after she parted ways with Luo Sheng. She asked the guard driving the carriage, but he didn't know either, so she could only hurry back.
Upon entering the city, they found it to be as peaceful as ever, seemingly without any abnormalities, which put their minds at ease.
Luo Sheng's guards escorted her all the way to her doorstep before bowing and leaving, leaving the carriage behind.
Seeing the door open, Xiao Yunying noticed that the two dogs rushed towards her upon hearing the noise. She stroked their heads and said, "Oh my, it's only been a little over a month, and you two have grown so much!"
Hearing the noise, Granny Chang came out first. Upon seeing the people at the door, she exclaimed with delight, "Madam, Madam, the young mistress is back!"
Hearing the sound, Luo Xin, who was practicing calligraphy, put down her brush and ran out with her short legs, throwing herself into Xiao Yunying's arms: "Mother, you're finally back."
Xiao Yunying was almost knocked over by the little girl. She steadied herself and hugged Luo Xin: "Let me see, is she crying?"
Luo Xin nudged her head against her, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "Mother is a big bad woman. She left without a word, without taking Xin'er with her."
Xiao Yunying let the little girl vent her anger, and pretended to be pitiful, saying, "Ouch, Xin'er is so strong, she bumped my heart and it hurts."
Luo Xin quickly raised her head: "Did Xin'er bump into Mom and hurt her? Xin'er didn't mean to."
Xiao Yunying picked up the little girl: "It hurts a little, but if Xin'er isn't angry anymore, then it won't hurt anymore."
Luo Xin still looked unhappy, but she forgave her mother, saying, "Then Xin'er won't be angry anymore..."
Xiao Yunying pinched her little nose: "You little liar, Mother went out on business this time and didn't go out to play, so I didn't take you with me. When we have time to travel around the world in the future, Mother will definitely take you with me, okay?"
The little girl reluctantly agreed: "Alright then..."
Madam Luo watched the interaction between the two children and said with a smile, "You're finally back. Do you know how worried the children were when you were away?"
"Thank you so much, Madam Luo, for taking care of the children all this time. I bought quite a few things, Granny Chang, could you help me carry them downstairs?"
Granny Chang said kindly, "Young Madam, please rest well. I'll help you move your things."
After saying that, he led two maids to carry the things from the carriage into the reception room.
Luo Xin has gained a lot of weight now, and Xiao Yunying got tired after carrying her for a while, so she put her down.
He looked around and asked, "Where's Yun Wan?"
Luo Xin held Xiao Yunying's hand and said, "Aunt Yunwan went into town to settle accounts at Shijinfang."
Xiao Yunying calculated the time and realized that today was about the day to collect the silver notes every two weeks. She exclaimed in surprise, "I've only been gone for a month and a half, and Yunwan can already read the account books?"
Madam Luo said, "This girl is eager to learn and intelligent. She went to learn from your shopkeeper for a few days and quickly mastered the skills."
Xiao Yunying nodded, thinking that made sense. She had taught the shopkeeper how to use tables to calculate accounts, which would be much simpler and neater than recording each item one by one.
Zheng Yunwan is quick-witted, so it's not surprising that she was able to learn it.
