Chapter 2341 Reencounter with the Black Market Girl
The group carried their belongings, with Wei Qin hiding in a box. They quickly boarded a carriage and left the inn.
The two people who were keeping watch were stunned when they saw them check out of the room and come out with lots of bags. They were... gone?
"They just left like that? They haven't even met Qi Lie yet, have they? Did they not meet him, or did they run into each other in secret?"
Another person frowned. "We probably didn't run into them. We've had people following them around these past few days. We know exactly who they've met and where they've been. They haven't left our sight. Even when they go to the outhouse, there's no one else around."
"That……"
"It's understandable that we wouldn't see him since he's so good at hiding, afraid of being exposed. But whether we left him a note is uncertain."
"What can we do then? Are we just going to watch him go back without gaining anything?"
The other man gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not willing to give up either. Let's try again and get the people on the west side to take action."
"good."
Shu Yu sat in the carriage, opened the large box on it, and said to Wei Qin inside, "We can't release you yet. We have to wait until we leave the city. Are you alright?"
"No problem, this box is quite big, and there's a soft cushion underneath, so it's not uncomfortable to lean against." Wei Qin smiled and shook her head. She was petite, so even when she was nestled in the box, she was only slightly curled up.
Shu Yu nodded. "Then I'll open the lid first so you can get some fresh air."
There were only three people in the carriage. Shu Yu took out the cushions from the box to keep her from getting all sweaty.
Wei Qin smiled, and was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from outside the carriage, "Princess, is that Princess Wen'an?"
Xia Yan immediately pulled on the reins, bringing the carriage to a stop.
Shu Yu and the others' expressions changed. Wei Qin lay back down and quietly closed the box.
Then Shu Yu peeked out and looked at the person standing next to the carriage.
"You are..."
"Your Highness, is it really you?" The other person was very happy, and his face was slightly flushed with excitement. "When I saw Miss Yingxi, I thought I was seeing things. I didn't expect that it was really Your Highness in the carriage. Your Highness may not remember me. My name is Kang Shuxian. Back in Chenggu County, I came from there, just like Qiao Rou."
Shu Yu had already guessed her identity, but since she had rescued many girls back then, she couldn't match the names with the faces after so long.
She stepped down from the carriage. "So it's Miss Kang. No wonder you looked so familiar. You look quite different from before."
"Yes, there have been quite a few changes in our clothing and appearance." Kang Shuxian said somewhat embarrassedly, then gratefully added, "After we arrived in the Southwest, the County Princess had people take care of us. I will never forget the County Princess's great kindness to us."
"No need for such formalities. I'm just glad you're doing well. What are you doing here?"
"I came with Sister He Fang to deliver the embroidery work. Sister He Fang was talking to the shopkeeper. I went to the door to get some fresh air and unexpectedly saw Ying Xi by the cart."
She pointed to the fabric shop not far away. Shu Yu followed her gaze and saw the girl named He Fang come out. She peeked out, paused for a moment when she saw them, and then immediately walked over.
"So, it seems you're staying somewhere not far away."
"Yes, our courtyard is in that alley over there. The environment is quite nice. Why don't you come and sit at our house, Your Highness?"
