Li Yuan has never been a person who lives for ease and enjoyment, not in her previous life, and even less so in this life.

Otherwise, Fengchi Villa would not exist today.

Unfortunately, before the time was right, I couldn't tell my brothers and sisters these words and could only look at them apologetically.

How could Ling Yun not know this? Even in the current Lingjia Manor and Yaowang Valley, there is no guarantee that one can escape from this unsettling secular world for the rest of their lives.

"Then you, you have to let me know, right?"

Lingyun had long been accustomed to having Li Yuan around her. Now this girl left her arms without hesitation. Not only mentally, but even her physical instinct could not accept it.

Seeing this, Li Yuan said to her helplessly: "Sister, do you think Wei Jie will let them treat him like this?"

Ling Yi's handsome face sternly exchanged a quick glance with Ling Yun, "What do you mean?"

Li Yuan spread his hands and shrugged indifferently: "For me now, it doesn't matter. I can go either way."

Seeing this, Lingyun rolled her eyes at her and said, "You little devil, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Tell me, what are you thinking?"

It doesn't matter? It doesn't matter, why did you mention Wei Jie?

This girl, doesn't she know that her heart has already gone to Wei Jie?

"It's very simple. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. And I am the fisherman. I will follow whoever wins!"

Lingyun slapped her on the forehead: "Nonsense, did the old emperor ask you to enter the palace, and you followed him?"

Li Yuan's expression changed immediately, and she wanted to cry to Ling Yun, "Bah, bah, bah, sister, even if you are joking, you can't curse your sister like this!"

Lingyun rolled her beautiful eyes, "You are being hypocritical? Tell me, have you and that big devil Wei reached an agreement on something? Otherwise, aren't you acting too calm?"

Li Yuan pointed at her own face in self-mockery, "Sister, have you forgotten what your sister looks like? With this face, it's already too high for her to enter the Phoenix Palace, and you still expect me to enter the palace? Don't laugh your head off, what plans can Wei Jie and I have? We don't have any now, but in the future, who knows!"

There were some interactions between them, and he owed her several lives, but if it were used in this exchange, it would be too uneconomical.

She could see that Wei Jie was very interested in her. Of course, the so-called interest did not refer to her face or body, but her abilities.

As long as he was interested in her, she was confident that he would not let her go just like that.

Otherwise, for him, it would not only damage his face, but also his worth.

For Feng Wang Wei Jie, if he drags her on board, her future worth will be much more than it is now.

She was so calm because she had confidence in herself, but her brothers and sisters obviously misunderstood the meaning and had to let her point at her face to remind them of this fact that could not be ignored!

In this world where appearance is everything, whether in modern times or in ancient times, your entire future is closely related to this face. Not to say 100%, but at least 80%, and the remaining 20% ​​is the source of your struggle.

She now barely accounts for 20%, but the remaining 80% cannot be easily ignored.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Ling Yun rolled her eyes and said, "I thought that was something else. What's wrong with your face? It's dark, chubby, and feels sexy to the touch. Standing among a bunch of pretty and fair beauties, you are definitely the most eye-catching. It would be hard for the Emperor and Wei Jie not to notice you. You are a national treasure. If they don't want you, I will!"

Hearing Ling Yun's increasingly unreliable words, Li Yuan's eyebrows twitched, and he slapped her on the wrist: "Get out of the way, are you insulting me or are you insulting me? Don't do this, I am still your sister in name, don't bully me like this, or I will tell Grandpa!"

"Ah, the clan ceremony hasn't even started yet and you're already threatening me? Brother, tell me, is this girl becoming more and more outrageous?"

Ling Yi looked at this and that helplessly, and pinched his brows with a headache, "Alright, you two who know this are bickering, but who knows what those who don't know will think? Since my sister has already considered it, we won't say anything more, but the premise is that if you need anything, just ask, Lingjiazhuang will always stand behind you."

Li Yuan was most touched by this. No matter when and where, her brothers and sisters always believed in her unconditionally. This deep affection was even closer than that between real siblings. Sometimes she even wondered if she was the deceased second lady of Lingjiazhuang?

Otherwise, why is it so compatible with Lingjiazhuang?

The quarrel in the square naturally did not escape Wei Jie's eyes. What's more, he even had a grasp of the plans of Li Hongtao and Li Quan.

Listening to the news that Qingchen and the others had found out, although Wei Jie showed no expression, the sensitive Qingchen felt that the air around them was freezing little by little, causing them to subconsciously remain silent.

"Your Majesty?"

Qingchen stared at his face cautiously, and Wei Jie turned back calmly: "When are you leaving?"

Qingchen was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting his seventh brother to change the subject, but soon he understood what he meant.

"You are not fit to move due to your current injuries. How about setting off in half a month, on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month?"

The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month?

It might be impossible to reach the capital in fifteen days. If we miss the Spring Festival this year, who knows what trouble the emperor might cause.

But if the time is too tight, his body really can't bear it.

"What about the others? Have you set a time?"

Qingchen added, "It's settled. It's scheduled to be three days later. We will leave one after another after the first day of the twelfth lunar month."

Now that the weather has cleared up, although the road is muddy, it is safer than the ground that has been frozen layer by layer. These people can no longer wait and will probably find a way to leave.

"Where's Li Yuan?"

Qingchen shook his head. "I haven't heard her plan yet. How about I ask Miss Li when she comes?"

"No need. I have my own plans. You go down and make the arrangements. The people from Siyou Country can leave with them."

Does this mean that we will leave in two groups?

Hearing this, Qingchen's face lit up, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

As long as their seventh brother doesn't act too arrogantly, they will let him do anything.

In the evening, detailed news came from various countries.

Those with more serious injuries will stay in the City That Never Sleeps to continue recuperating, and return home on their own after they have recovered.

The rest of the people, along with troops from various countries, left the City That Never Sleeps one after another.

Li Yuan and Wei Jie were not among this group of people.

The reason why Li Yuan stayed was simple. Although her two patients could survive without her, for safety reasons, she decided to stay and protect them until they recovered 80%.

After all, they are not ordinary patients. If they are not careful, they may lose everything and all their previous efforts will be wasted.

Since she can't afford the consequences, what's the harm in staying a few more days?

As for Lingjiazhuang, because of Li Yuan, the brother and sister discussed and decided to stay and wait for Li Yuan to return.

Led by Yuhen and Huamao, these up-and-coming talents who shined at the Four Nations Gala and reaped great rewards in the Heizu Mountains, did not leave with the main group for some unknown reason.

It’s easy to deal with other people because they are the people who have the final say in their respective countries. Who dares to obstruct their decisions?

The City That Never Sleeps didn't even kick anyone out, so naturally, as subordinates, they had no reason to persuade their master.

But Li Hongtao is different. Since he has received the emperor's order, how could he allow Li Yuan to stay alone?

But no matter how he tried to persuade her, Li Yuan remained lukewarm. This indifference really made him angry.

With no other choice, he could only go to her pharmacy to block her off again and again. Li Yuan was annoyed to see him like this, so she simply didn't say anything definite.

"You go back first. I still have things to deal with. After leaving the Never-Sleeping City, I will return to Prince Kang's Mansion."

This was a response to his suggestion of teaching palace etiquette and preparing for marriage.

But only she herself knew that she went back just to investigate her own life experience, and it had nothing to do with that damn palace etiquette.

After hearing her say this, Li Hongtao knew that she was still concerned about the imperial edict, so he did not force her and left the City That Never Sleeps first.

In the next ten days, the City That Never Sleeps will be extremely bustling. Not to mention those who are leaving, even Young Master Yan will be so busy that he has no time to rest and is busy collecting money.

Li Yuan simply ran to Wei Jie's place to hide away.

"It's crazy, it's all crazy, these country bumpkins, one by one, why do they buy everything for their homes?"

Since the return date had been set, the City That Never Sleeps naturally did not miss such a good opportunity to make money. All the shops put out the best things in their stores, and even the newly restored Garden of Debauchery opened its doors to these people.
