Chapter 27 Chapter 27 A hint of retreat.
After Kang Jie woke up, he was wracked by a severe headache. For some reason, even his ears felt itchy and painful. He covered his head with his hands, frowned, and took a deep breath.
Suddenly I noticed someone next to me, "Who?!"
"My dear, it's us."
It was the voice of an attendant, very familiar, as if there was more than one person accompanying him. Kang Jie felt relieved.
Then he immediately thought of Mu Xi's husband who had spoken harshly to him, and became furious.
Kang Jie didn't know where the other party knew those things about him, but he should never mention it in front of him.
He will regret it, Kang Jie thought with gritted teeth.
He originally just wanted to snatch Mu Xi from that man. Now that he knew that Mu Xi knew so much about himself, Kang Jie would never let that man continue to live in the world so easily.
Why is Kang Jie interested in Mu Xi?
Who told that woman to not even look at him more than once? Her pretentiousness disgusted him, and—
Mu Xi's appearance and temperament were different from any woman he had ever seen before. He wanted to see what such a calm and self-controlled person would be like when she couldn't control herself and enjoyed pleasure.
Kang Jie wanted to see her completely controlled by him, letting her do whatever he wanted, just like the women who had fallen at his feet before...
"Hiss..." Kang Jie felt a pain on his forehead. He cursed inwardly and said sternly, "What a bunch of rubbish! Why don't you light the lamp?!"
Kang Ji couldn't see anything. He was confused for a moment when he just woke up. He thought it was dark and his followers were guarding him in the dark without lighting a lamp for his sake. But now that he was awake, there was not a single person who could see anything.
Trash! The people around me are all trash!
After Kang Jie finished shouting in exasperation, there was a dead silence all around him, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
He immediately realized something was wrong, "What's going on? Turn on the light."
Still no one spoke.
"Don't you want to live anymore?!"
Kang Jie was a little overwhelmed, but he was still furious. He picked up something on the bed, which seemed to be a pillow, and threw it in an unknown direction.
But unfortunately, the thing didn't make much noise when it hit the ground, and it had no deterrent effect at all.
Finally, Kang Jie's personal attendant came over tremblingly, approached him and spoke, his voice trembling -
"My dear... he has been keeping the lamp lit."
This thought had flashed through Kang Jie's mind, but now that it was pointed out to him, he was extremely scared.
"Come here." Kang Jie spat out these two words in an annoyed voice, and someone approached.
He used the floating breeze to determine the direction, and slapped him, just grabbing the other person's ear. He refused to let go, and immediately heard a painful cry for help in his ear.
Kang Ji was so angry that his men became so ruthless that they seemed to really want to tear the ear off the man's head.
"Go find a doctor quickly! Go quickly!" He didn't care about his image at all, acting like a madman, and no one knew who he was yelling at.

Three days later, Mu Xi and his group successfully arrived in Licheng.
Han Yinfeng saw that Mu Xi had not yet made up her mind.
When he arrived in Licheng, he was no longer in a hurry.
He knew that Mu Xi would definitely go to see that person, so he said to her: "If you haven't made up your mind yet, I will go to see her on your behalf."
After spending a long time with Mu Xi, although I still don't know what to do, it seems that I can occasionally judge what choices Mu Xi will make when facing certain situations based on experience.
Han Yinfeng saw that Mu Xi was unwilling, but still believed that she would do it, not out of her own will, but because she had other considerations that she was unwilling to share with him.
At least he has the confidence to retreat in order to advance.
Mu Xi really didn't want to have anything to do with the original owner's past, but since she had taken over someone else's body, it was impossible for her to not care about the other person's social relationships at all.
Just like now, escaping was not her intention, but she had to escape. She couldn't explain to anyone that she was not the young master of Feiming Valley.
What Han Yinfeng said had some influence on her.
It's all because of that damn basic sense of morality.
She thought, it would be great if she really was a shameless and shameless person.
The person who insisted on meeting her said that he had watched the original owner grow up and they had such a relationship and bond. Mu Xi really didn't want to meet him, but she then thought that maybe it was the original owner's wish.
If it were her, she would definitely want to see her childhood relatives. Mu Xi told herself that she should just think of herself as going to reassure those who cared about her on behalf of the original owner.
Other than that, she wasn't going to accept any arrangements from anyone.
"No need, since you have agreed, just arrange for us to meet."
Han Yinfeng looked a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Mu Xi to agree to this so easily.
Mu Xi didn't explain, but leaned against the car wall and closed her eyes tiredly.
She had been traveling for the past three days, sleeping in the carriage at night with Han Yinfeng. She rarely got out of bed, and she missed her hard, immovable bed. She also easily felt nostalgic for the poorly equipped inns she had stayed in, even if they only had a place to sleep.
But they had already made plans, so Mingyu and Yingzhang could only rest by the carriage.
The carriage that Han Yinfeng decided to order was spacious inside, but not luxurious or eye-catching on the outside, so there was not much space outside and only enough space for one person to lie down.
Mu Xi had invited them to take turns resting in the carriage.
But neither of them dared to agree and kept refusing, saying that they were used to it and asked her not to worry.
Mu Xi was curious and wanted to ask how much monthly salary Han Yinfeng would give them.
She just thought about it but didn't ask it out loud. Asking such a question at this time might make her seem like she has a mental problem.
Han Yinfeng looked at her and responded. After a moment of silence, he spoke softly, "We need to observe the city first after entering it. Let's find a place to stay first."
Mu Xi closed her eyes and said "hmm".
She didn't open her eyes, so she didn't know that Han Yinfeng's gaze was still on her.
Yin Xiang’s identity is real. He was rescued by Ji Lian and has been helping him in Wu Yue Tower for the past ten years.
Starting with Mu Xi, Han Yinfeng checked many people and found that Yin Xiang was not a loyal servant.
I don’t know what it was like in Feiming Valley back then, but now for Wu Yuelou and Ji Lian, the word “loyalty” has nothing to do with them.
A profit-seeker.
Although this kind of person is not trustworthy, he is easy to impress.
Han Yinfeng just needed such a person and didn't care whether the other party would betray him again after betraying his original master.
Before he returned to Mu Xi, he had already figured out how to proceed.
But now, seeing Mu Xi's tired face, and thinking about how she had followed them on the journey for the past three days without a single complaint, he suddenly felt like giving up.
Not just these three days, she had no complaints during the entire journey.
Han Yinfeng thought of Mu Xi when they first met. He had been mentally prepared to be beaten and scolded, but not only did she not do that, she was actually very reasonable and considerate to everyone equally.
How could there be such a woman in this world?
Han Yinfeng was so engrossed in watching that Mu Xi opened her eyes and saw him staring at her. She frowned and asked him, "Why are you staring at me?"
stare?
Han Yinfeng was shocked to realize that his true identity might have been accidentally exposed, and immediately put on an innocent expression.
"If my lady doesn't want to see her for the time being, then don't go, okay?"
Mu Xi felt that she was almost persuaded by him, but no, she had to go, at least to meet him.
"No, I'd like to see her." Mu Xi blinked and said, "If she really watched me grow up, she must miss me very much, even if I don't remember anything now... Including her, didn't you say that she misses me very much? Just go and let her know that I'm okay."
Han Yinfeng looked at her and didn't say anything until they checked into the inn.
Judging from the streets and housing structures in Licheng, the overall environment seemed to be quite good, even more prosperous than the place where they had stayed before.
Mingyu subconsciously wanted to book the most upscale inn in the city, just like before, but was stopped by Mu Xi.
Han Yinfeng looked at her in confusion, and Mu Xi explained, "The best inns in the previous place were just so-so. In Licheng...we can just pick an average one."
As for a place to sleep, as long as he doesn’t have to keep making do in a wobbly carriage, Mu Xi’s requirements are actually not high.
Mingyu looked at Han Yinfeng, and Han Yinfeng nodded slightly before he continued to drive the carriage forward.
Finally, he found a place that was cheaper and had a good environment, and Mu Xi was very satisfied.
It was still Mu Xi who negotiated with the shopkeeper, and after booking the room, Han Yinfeng found out that Mu Xi planned to sleep separately from him this time.
"Why?" Han Yinfeng frowned and asked in a low voice, "My wife and I are now husband and wife. If we separate, it will be conspicuous."
But Mu Xi had her own ideas. She only started to explain after the two of them were alone in the room she had booked for her.
"I've thought about it. If that Aunt Yin Xiang you told me about sees me, she might lose control of her emotions, so you shouldn't be there. If she wants to talk to me all night, or is curious about my past ten years and asks questions, I'll naturally sleep in the same room with her."
Where could Han Yinfeng go at that time? Would he squeeze in with Mingyu and the others?
There are only two beds in their room. Who is Han Yinfeng going to squeeze into one with? Spare them.
"That being said..."
Mu Xi knew what he was worried about. "Don't worry, I won't reveal anything. I told the shopkeeper that I was coming to visit relatives, and they will be arriving in the next few days, so I prepared a room for you in advance. There is no problem with our relationship."
Han Yinfeng's expression was somewhat unpredictable, and his voice was slightly deep, "My lady, you are really thinking long-term."
Now it was Mu Xi's turn to be confused. "Are we going to stay in Licheng for a long time? Won't we leave in two or three days?"
Han Yinfeng collected his thoughts, shook his head and said softly, "I don't know yet."
Mu Xi thought so too. She had never met Yin Xiang, and she hadn't inherited any of the original owner's memories. She had no idea what kind of person she was. Would she be ecstatic to see her? Break down and cry? Or remain remarkably calm?
If this is the last case, they can leave earlier.
